After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Sure enough, it was the same as before, the hairpin she liked.

But... now I no longer feel the joy I once felt when I received gifts.

There was only a perfunctory feeling of disgust.

She sighed softly and handed the brocade box to the maid Xiaoye.

Don't want to look any more.

Just now, in Fanghua Garden.

She and Yan Feng argued for a long time, and after the deal was finally reached, Yan Feng still begged for two things.

One is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual, and the other is to wear the Mid-Autumn Festival gift he personally gave me at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, just like in the past ten years.

The situation was already broken and they were about to divorce.

He had to do this just to ask me to give him the last bit of face.

It's just for the sake of face. For me, I will just celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual.

It didn't matter, so she agreed.

The prime minister's residence was bustling with red lanterns hung everywhere.

That red, now looking at her, was actually a bit dazzling.

"Madam, are you still preparing the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for the old lady as usual?"

When Mrs. Wen heard this question, she was stunned.

The old lady’s Mid-Autumn Festival gift?

Haha... usually they were extremely valuable gold and jade jewelry, or rare small ornaments taken out from her dowry!

For this reason, the old lady often acted as if she disliked the extravagant Mid-Autumn Festival ceremonies.

How can one be so extravagant when one complains in a pretentious manner at every turn?

But in the blink of an eye, didn’t he take the gift away with a smile?

It's ridiculous that she has received so many benefits from me over the past decade, but she can still say such heartbreaking words to Shu'er.

How could she let such a cruel person get away with it again!

She thought so in her heart, with a smile on her lips, but there was an unfathomable coldness deep in her eyes.

replied.

"No need. The old lady is a great advocate of frugality. This time, please don't go against her frugality as you did in previous years. Just give her a simple and elegant elm hairpin. This way, you will meet her expectations and avoid her complaints."

"Okay, ma'am."

……

After a busy period, it was almost dusk.

Wen stood in the center of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Looking at the lake not far away.

When the wind blows, ripples appear on the lake. The grass and trees by the lake seem to be casual and beautiful, but in fact they are well-arranged and have their own mysteries. Each one is carefully designed by her.

The sweet-scented osmanthus forest on the other side was still filled with a strong osmanthus fragrance, which she had personally arranged to plant on the day of the expansion of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She thought that she would end her life here, but she didn't expect that things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people.

What kind of huge lie is hidden in such a peaceful place.

I am just like that sheep, walking into the tiger's den for more than ten years before I finally realize it.

Suddenly I felt ridiculous.

The autumn wind blew on her face, and Wen's brows were heavy.

The maid came forward and put a coat on her.

"Ma'am, please sit down."

Mrs. Wen glanced at Xiaoye, sighed, and sat down.

Then he looked at the brocade box that Xiaoye was still holding.

"Just leave it there. It's not a valuable item anyway. There's no need to worry about it."

Xiao Ye was stunned.

In previous years, there were two ways to give the master's Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. One was to take them out at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and personally pin them on for the lady. The other was to have the maid bring them here, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet came, the lady would pin them on to attend the banquet.

This Mid-Autumn Festival gift is just like a birthday gift. The lady cares about it very much and will definitely ask her to take good care of it.

Don't drop it or lose it.

Afraid that something unexpected would happen.

But how could she just leave it alone now?

Although Xiao Ye was confused, he put the brocade box on the table after seeing the lady's confident expression.

He poured his wife another cup of tea and took two steps back.

He looked at the lady cautiously.

I don't know why, but I feel like my wife has changed a lot in the past few days.

Not only was there an indescribable fierceness and majesty in his eyes, which had always been gentle and amiable.

In terms of behavior, it is also a change from the practices of the past decade.

Everything is different.

Not only did I have some arguments with the old lady and the others.

In the past two days, the entire Fanghua Garden has been almost in high spirits.

Let them clean up, not leaving out a single brick or tile.

The fine carved window lattices had all been removed.

Therefore, the servants all speculated that the lady wanted to move to a better courtyard and that was why she behaved so abnormally.

However, seeing that the lady has been very serious these past few days and has a cold and resolute expression, it doesn't seem like that.

Some people also speculated that maybe the lady finally saw through the hypocritical face of the master and wanted to divorce him.

Is that why you're planning to leave?

But Xiaoye didn't think it looked like that.

In the prime minister's residence, apart from the master, there are only the concubine and the old lady.

Although the concubine has many shameful things, she can't cause much trouble in front of the lady.

The old lady was greedy and sinister, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the lady.

Not to mention the master. On the surface, he has treated his wife very well over the past ten years.

The reason why they say the master's "goodness" is superficial is that outsiders like them always feel that there is a very uncomfortable "fakeness" in that "goodness".

For example, after the master smiled gently at his wife, he would turn around and show extreme impatience where his wife could not see.

For example, although he was saying nice things, the expression on his face was extremely disdainful and even resentful when he was behind his wife's back.

There are so many of these.

But even so, Madam still has Miss Shu'er, and Master Yi is in the Prime Minister's residence, so how could she leave the Prime Minister's residence?

Xiaoye shook his head in thought.

While she was still thinking, she saw the lady looking at her with a smile and said.

"Xiaoye, we can go home tomorrow."

"what?"

Xiao Ye was stunned. The solemnity of his previous contemplation had not yet dissipated, and he was now dumbfounded.

unbelievable.

Going home...to the Marquis' Mansion?

Could it be that Madam, you really want a divorce?

"lady……"

Mrs. Wen just nodded at Xiaoye with a smile and said nothing more.

After a while, it was already dark and lights were lit in the banquet hall.

The stage had already been set up, and the troupe was already preparing the performance equipment.

She put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, gave some instructions to the banquet manager, and then made a gesture to leave.

Xiao Ye quickly picked up the brocade box and followed closely behind.

"Madam, where are we going?"

"Go back to the courtyard to dress up, and then come to the banquet."

So, the master and the servant walked towards Fanghua Garden.

At the entrance of Fanghua Garden, a small figure was huddled in front of the door.

Seeing Wen coming, the little figure suddenly jumped up.

"Mother!"

It was Yan Yunshu! Mrs. Wen glanced at the small stool behind Yan Yunshu and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"What is Shu'er doing here?"

Yan Yunshu didn't look at Wen, but stared at the brocade box in Xiaoye's hand. Her face was full of complaints and deep fear.

"Mother, Shu'er wants the things in this brocade box."
