After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street

There was no time to think at this moment. The matter at hand had to be resolved as soon as possible, so he followed Zheng Jiaxuan and others and hurried straight to the yamen.

"Mrs. Zhang, please stay in the room for a while and come out after the truth is revealed." Several servants came forward, resolutely lifted up Guo, and prepared to take her back to the room.

When Guo realized that she was about to be isolated, she suddenly became panicked. She struggled hard, trying to break free from the servant's restraints.

Zhang Xiyue, who was standing by, could no longer hold back after seeing this. She rushed out from the corner, stood in front of her mother, and shouted hysterically, "What are you doing? We are the distinguished guests of the Fu family. How dare you treat my mother like this? Believe it or not, I will tell my cousin to kick you all out of the Fu family!"

Her screams pierced the hall, and for a moment, the servants actually looked frightened and hesitated in their actions.

However, at this moment, a cold voice cut through the chaos: "I don't see who dares to drive them out of the Fu family without my approval!"

Ling Mohui had been standing in the corridor without anyone noticing. She was covered in moonlight, and her eyes were as sharp as cold stars. She swept her cold gaze over everyone one by one, instantly calming all the restlessness.

Zhang Xiyue was shocked by Ling Mohui's sudden appearance. She was furious and said, "You... Ling Mohui, everything you told me before was just a lie. You just wanted me to let my guard down so that you could take advantage of the opportunity to plot against us, mother and daughter!"

Her accusations echoed in the air, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Facing Zhang Xiyue's questioning, Ling Mo replied expressionlessly: "If you behave yourself, this matter will naturally not involve you. But if you are bent on favoring the suspect, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These words were as hard as iron, hitting Zhang Xiyue's sore spot and leaving her speechless.

At this moment, Guo also realized the seriousness of the situation. She knew that if it continued like this, the situation would only get further out of control.

She pushed Zhang Xiyue away and said sternly, "Xiyue, this has nothing to do with you. Don't interfere anymore."

Her words contained both a stern warning to her daughter and a deep fear of Ling Mohui.

Zhang Xiyue was shocked by her mother's sudden action. She stood there in a daze, watching the servants take her mother away, her heart filled with fear and confusion.

"Mother!" Zhang Xiyue exclaimed, her voice full of anxiety and helplessness.

Guo suppressed her inner fear, held her daughter's hand tightly, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Be obedient and go!" Her voice was soft but firm as iron.

Guo knew very well that at this moment, facing the imposing Ling Mohui, and having lost the protection of Fu Yansheng and Zhang, they were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Ling Mohui's distinguished status as "the Prime Minister's Wife" was enough to make them unable to resist, not to mention the famous general's mansion behind her that was feared by the court and the country.

In order to protect Zhang Xiyue, Guo resolutely chose to bear the humiliation alone.

Zhang Xiyue watched helplessly as her mother was taken away by Ling Mohui's men. She was filled with grief and indignation, and her hatred for Ling Mohui was like a raging fire: "Ling Mohui, remember this! If you treat my mother like this today, I will make you pay back a hundredfold one day!"

Her oath echoed in the night sky, like a sharp arrow piercing Ling Mohui's heart.

When Ling Mohui heard the voice, she just glanced at Zhang Xiyue coldly, revealing deep indifference and disdain.

She did not respond, but turned and left, as if all the troubles could not touch her at all.

……

In the backyard, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the undercurrent was surging, but the banquet in the front hall was still immersed in laughter and joy, and everyone was completely unaware of it.

The two backbones of the family, one fainted due to excessive fright, and the other was out for an emergency. This family feast depended on Ling Mohui alone to support it.

Fortunately, she was known for her ability to interact with everyone, and she skillfully dealt with the guests. Finally, in the afterglow of the setting sun, she politely saw off the last group of guests.

By the time everything calmed down, Ling Mohui was already extremely exhausted and didn't want to say even a single extra word.

She walked slowly into the inner courtyard, just in time for Fu Yansheng to return from his official duties.

Ling Mohui originally wanted to ignore it and walk straight past, but just as she stepped through the carved moon-shaped door, she heard Fu Yansheng's call from behind.

She had no choice but to stop, her tiredness barely concealed in her voice: "I am exhausted, if you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible."

"I misunderstood you today." Fu Yansheng's voice was low and sincere. He has always been proud and seldom bowed his head to apologize to others. It was rare to hear such words at this moment.

Ling Mohui just smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter. I don't have a good image in your heart anyway. We will get divorced sooner or later anyway. I don't expect you to change your prejudice against me. I just hope that we can respect each other and not interfere with each other."

When Fu Yansheng heard the word "divorce" being mentioned again, he immediately became angry and his face darkened: "Ling Mohui, you talk about divorce all the time, but have you ever thought that without my consent, you will never be able to leave the Fu family in your life!"

Ling Mohui frowned and looked sharp when she heard this: "What do you mean? We clearly had an agreement before that you would let me leave when the time is right. Are you going to regret it now?"

Fu Yansheng quietly clenched his fists behind his back, his eyes sharp: "Even if I really regret it, what can you do?"

His tone was defiant, as if he was declaring his absolute control.

Ling Mohui's anger gradually grew: "Is it interesting? Since you are so ruthless and unrighteous to me, why don't you let me pursue my freedom? You have to trap me in this deep house and let us hate each other?"

Her words were like a knife, piercing Fu Yansheng's heart.

Fu Yansheng's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he approached steadily: "Whether we hate each other or go our separate ways, the decision is always in my hands."

His tone was filled with unquestionable determination, as if telling Ling Mohui that no matter how she struggled, she could not escape the fate he had set.

Facing Fu Yansheng's relentless momentum, Ling Mohui subconsciously took a few steps back. The bluestone road under her feet seemed to tremble slightly with her firm steps.

However, the look in those clear eyes became more and more determined and could not be shaken.

She straightened her back, letting the night wind blow the corners of her clothes, and said in a sonorous voice: "I only know that if you keep your promise, it will benefit everyone, and people will be at peace and the family will be at peace. If you break your promise, I, Ling Mohui, will never be a soft egg that can be bullied by others. I will definitely defend my own dignity and justice!"

Before she finished her words, she pushed Fu Yansheng's chest hard, turned around and walked away quickly with anger, leaving behind only a lonely and tenacious figure gradually moving away in the night.

……

As night fell, Ling Mohui had dinner alone, and Mo Hua informed her in time that Zhang had woken up from her coma.

Ling Mohui gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. Her movements were elegant and calm, as if the conflict just now had not caused any ripples in her heart.

She stood up calmly and said calmly, "Go and have a look."
