After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"

Bai Yanlang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that this girl was also hoping that he and Lu would divorce.

"Without me and my brother, don't you still have Bai Mulin and Bai Yaoyao, your two children?"

Bai Youyou glanced at the disheveled Bai Yaoyao and sneered, "When Bai Yaoyao framed me and put me in jail, you didn't even ask a question. Anyway, you don't care about us mother and daughter, so why are you pretending to be a father and daughter now?"

"I, I've been busy with official duties these past two days, so I came to see you today."

Meeting her clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Bai Yanlang's gaze became vague and he subconsciously looked away.

Bai Youyou raised the right corner of his lips, "You are a sixth-rank official, you are really busy, busy listening to monks chanting scriptures?"

Bai Yanlang knew that this troublemaker was not easy to fool, so he threatened her: "If you follow your mother, you will be ridiculed in the future. Do you really want to do that?"

"As the old saying goes, it is better to follow a beggar mother than a government official father. I am willing to follow my mother, and my brother is willing too."

Bai Youyou shrugged, looking nonchalant, "Grandmother told my uncle that after we return home, my mother will be the eldest lady, I will be the young lady, and my brother will be the young master. As for what outsiders say, let them say whatever they want. Anyway, everyone talks about others behind their backs."

Seeing that she was not listening, Bai Yanlang became furious and started to curse, "You, you bastard! Your last name is Bai, not Lu!"

"You think I'm a jerk, that my mother has a bad temper and is not virtuous, and that my brother is stupid and dull, so why are you still putting yourself in such a difficult position?"

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes at him and said, "After we sign the divorce papers, the three of us, mother and son, won't have to bother you anymore. Isn't that exactly what you want?"

While the father and daughter were arguing, Xu Lingyun walked in from the backyard.

Seeing Lu standing in front of the desk writing something with a pen, he walked over with curiosity without looking away.

He Lishu?

What caught his eye were the three eye-catching and elegant characters "Divorce Letter". Xu Lingyun paused and then sat back in his chair as if he hadn't seen them.

Lu looked up at him and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'll take up your space for a while."

"Ma'am, just use it."

Xu Lingyun picked up the celadon teacup beside him and drank his tea while his eyes fell on Bai Yanlang, whose face was flushed and looked annoyed.

Earlier, when I was investigating a case at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, I heard the maids and servants talking about the two of them getting divorced, and it turned out to be true.

Lu finished writing, put down the brush, and blew on the divorce letter.

The white paper still smelled of ink and her name was already signed on it. She walked up to Bai Yanlang with the divorce papers and handed them to him.

"Sign it, in duplicate, and have Li He go back and get the seal."

Bai Yanlang turned away and didn't take it.

"You go back on your word in public, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Bai Yanlang pursed his lips and said nothing.

"You were the one who proposed the divorce. If you want to regret it now, don't let me look down on you!"

Lu's mocking voice was like thunder in his ears. Bai Yanlang looked at the frowning eyes around him and his face turned red.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You speak as if you have ever looked up to me."

Before Lu could retaliate, he rolled his eyes and came up with a plan. He turned around and told Li He, "Go to the study and bring me my seal."

Li He looked at him and blinked, then immediately understood what he meant and turned to walk out.

In the court, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke. There was silence in an instant.

After a long time, Li He didn't wait any longer. Captain Li came back with his men, but there was no sign of Jiang Hui behind them.

Xu Lingyun frowned, "Where are the people?"

"Sir, Jiang Hui was seriously injured and is now unconscious. Doctor Liu said that six of his ribs were broken, his wrists were broken, and his internal organs were damaged. If he moves now, his life will be in danger."

"When did it happen?"

Xu Lingyun suspected that Marquis Yong'an did it on purpose to delay time.

"Marquis Yong'an said that Jiang Hui angered the Crown Prince last night and was beaten by the Crown Prince."

last night?

Is it really a coincidence?

Xu Lingyun frowned, and in a moment, he ordered Captain Liu, "Take two people to Jiang Hui's place to guard, and when you can move, bring the person back to Jingzhao Prefecture directly."

"Yes."

Captain Liu took the order and left.

Xu Lingyun was flipping through the case files, organizing the useful evidence and preparing to submit it to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.

Everyone stood in the court, but from sunrise to sunset there was no sign of Li He.

Mrs. Lu's face was gloomy. "Is this Li He a turtle? It's such a short distance, he should be able to crawl over here!"

"Something must have delayed him."

Bai Yanlang's plan succeeded, and he was in a very good mood. He couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth, "It's getting late, why don't you go home earlier?"

"Humph, do you think that this matter will just end like this if Li He doesn't come?" Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Go back home, I will go find your seal myself!"

Lu walked out angrily, and Bai Youyou quickly followed.

Bai Yanlang originally wanted to wait for Lu to leave and then sneak away without returning to Yongning Marquis Mansion. However, who knew that Lu would come back angrily as soon as she stepped out of the government gate.

"Don't even think about running away this time!"

Mrs. Lu was very strong, and Bai Yanlang staggered when she grabbed his wrist.

"Let me go. I have things to do. We can talk about the divorce tomorrow."

"Even if something terrible happens today, you have to sign the divorce book first!"

The Lu family did not give him a chance. After pulling him out of the government office, they let Lu Chen push him into the carriage.

As soon as they entered Fangfei Garden, Nanny Huang, who was beside Old Mrs. Qiao, came over.

"Hello, Madam Lu."

When she saw the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo, she was slightly startled, and quickly bowed and saluted, then said to Lu and Bai Yanlang: "Second Master, Madam, the old lady invites you to come over."

"Things have to be resolved sooner or later, let's go."

The old lady said this lightly, turned around and walked towards Songtao Garden of the old Qiao family.

Along the way, Bai Yanlang stared at the back of Lu's head, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

Knowing clearly that the Lu family is not someone you can easily mess with, he still had to be so shameless as to embarrass himself in front of outsiders!

Old Mrs. Qiao had received news about Li He a long time ago, and now she was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face.

Feng Momo came out of the small kitchen nearby carrying a bowl of ginseng soup. She was startled when she saw the leader walking towards them.

She hurried into the room, "Master, the old lady of the Zhenguogong is here!"

"Why is that old woman here?"

When Old Mrs. Qiao heard this, her heart sank immediately.

She quickly got up and walked out the door. Seeing the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo, she immediately smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is here."

"I'm afraid I can't accept the title of mother-in-law today."

The old lady looked calm, "I am here today to discuss Jianan's divorce. Bai Yanlang has already agreed to this, so we came here specifically to tell you."
