Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chen Yunniang was stunned. She wanted to confirm what he said, but she was afraid of saying too much and making too many mistakes, so she said truthfully, "I didn't see them doing anything shameful."

"I only saw the two of them separated by the door, and Gu Heng would touch my cousin's head affectionately from time to time."

"I didn't recognize Gu Heng at first. He had a strange mask on his face, just like the one you were wearing."

"But as soon as he started talking I recognized his voice."

"He actually called out to Jiaojiao inside the door, and Jiaojiao happily shared the joy of success with him."

"Gu Heng said that her merits were enough to ask for any reward from the emperor. As long as she asked for an imperial decree of divorce, the two of them could be together forever and no longer have to be secretive."

"These are Gu Heng's original words."

"My cousin probably still has some feelings for you. She seemed a little hesitant at first, but was later persuaded by Gu Heng."

Chen Yunniang tried to make her lies as realistic as possible so that they would be more convincing.

After all, she didn't know that Su Yujiao was asking for a divorce, nor did she know that Su Yujiao had said that she would exchange her merits for the imperial decree of divorce.

What she knew was that Su Yujiao was deeply in love with Lu Ziqian.

It would be a bit untrue to suddenly say that Su Yujiao has fallen in love with someone else.

That's why she deliberately said that it was Gu Heng who instigated it more.

Moreover, she only talked about the divorce and did not mention a word about Su Yujiao's intention to perform meritorious deeds and save people.

I'm just afraid that Lu Ziqian will be soft-hearted and hesitate!

She knew the man in front of her too well. He was a young general who became famous in one battle. In addition, he had a good family background and good looks, so he had the capital to be proud and arrogant.

But his arrogance and conceit will never allow anything to get out of his control.

Su Yujiao is no exception. She is his canary. Even if he doesn't love her, he will not allow anyone else to touch her.

No man can tolerate his wife enjoying herself under another man.

Especially since Su Yujiao was surrounded by a group of fluttering butterflies, he would not allow Su Yujiao to escape from his control.

Because once that woman leaves, she will no longer belong to him.

Lu Ziqian was silent for a long time and finally calmed down.

He asked, “When did you hear it?”

"Where did you go after entering the city, and why did you appear only now?"

Chen Yunniang had already prepared a plan: "After Wang Hu and I separated, I wanted to walk around the city to familiarize myself with the environment, and then see if I could be of any help."

"I saw a man wearing a bird-beak mask, and out of curiosity I followed him."

"I accidentally overheard their conversation."

"I wanted to tell you at the time, but I wasn't familiar with the city's terrain. Plus, it was already dark and every household had their doors closed. I searched for a long time but couldn't find you."

"I only just found out where the prince lives, so I thought I'd come over and wait, maybe I could see you there."

Lu Ziqian was skeptical: "I was wearing a mask, how did you recognize me?"

"I didn't recognize him. I just called out tentatively."

"I heard from the people here that there are three masked men in the city, and you are one of them."

Seeing that he was silent again, Chen Yunniang asked, "Ziqian, what do you think about this matter?"

"Do you want to divorce your cousin Jiaojiao?"

"Three years ago, you said you wanted to marry me. Does that still count?"

"I know I'm not worthy of you, but I can try my best for you."

"I can do what Jiaojiao can do. If she can achieve merit, I can do the same."

"If I have done something great, will I be worthy of you?" Chen Yunniang looked nervous and cautious.

This was the first time she expressed her feelings so directly.

Of course, she said this for a purpose.

She wanted to remind Lu Ziqian that he had let her down.

What was promised was not done.

Now that the opportunity is before him, should he give her an explanation?

But she knew that he would not divorce Su Yujiao.

Therefore, in order to make up for his guilt, he must compensate for something, such as... giving Su Yujiao the credit.

This way I can make it up to her and prevent Su Yujiao from getting divorced.

Sure enough, when Lu Ziqian saw Chen Yunniang looking at him expectantly, he felt inexplicably pressured and even wanted to escape.

Back then, he did say he wanted to marry her.

That’s because Chen Yunniang was his savior and he was grateful to her.

At that time, he didn't understand love and only wanted to make achievements on the battlefield.

His parents wanted him to get married and have children before going to the battlefield so that he wouldn't never come back.

He didn't have anyone he particularly liked, so he thought it didn't matter who he married, so he asked Chen Yunniang if she wanted to marry him.

As a result, Su Yujiao drugged him.

But after getting married, he never thought about marrying anyone else.

Although he didn't like Su Yujiao, she was indeed a competent and worry-free wife.

I take better care of Chen Yunniang on a daily basis to repay her for saving my life.

Today, I might as well make things clear to avoid that woman misunderstanding me and asking for a divorce all day long.

"Yunniang, I won't divorce her, and you know that men from the Lu family can't take concubines."

What this means is, I won’t marry you!

Chen Yunniang's face turned pale, and she smiled bitterly: "I was just daydreaming."

"Ziqian, I understand what you mean. I won't have any illusions about you anymore."

"Just pretend I never said anything today."

"Yunniang, I will make it up to you. You will definitely find your ideal husband in the future."

Her smile was a little sad, and she asked half-jokingly: "How do you want to make it up to me?"

"With my status, I'm only fit to marry a butcher."

"No one with any status would marry me."

Lu Ziqian looked at the woman's bitter smile and knew that what she cared about most was her unchangeable background.

Then he would give her a noble status.

"Soon, you will know."

"Let's go, I'll take you back to where you're resting."

After leaving Chen Yunniang's residence, Lu Ziqian went to Su Yujiao's courtyard.

"Gu Heng is gone?"

Mo Shu nodded.

"Did anything happen to them?"

Mo Shu answered truthfully, saying that Doctor Su used a cotton swab dipped in a little water to poke Gu Heng's nose, and also told him to prepare antipyretic medicine, so that the plague could be prevented after the fever subsided.

Lu Ziqian frowned. Does Gu Heng trust him so much?

He dares to test the medicine himself before finding anyone else to experiment with it?

This man was indeed coveting his wife.

At night, Lu Ziqian entered Su Yujiao's room and looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed with a complicated look.

He walked to the bed, pressed the woman's sleeping point, and then sat down and looked at her quietly.

The man caught a glimpse of the thick-soled boots on the ground and the thick bra wrapping around the woman's chest.

Lu Ziqian touched the woman's smooth, white face and murmured softly, "I really underestimated you."

"You've grown so capable that you dare to do this behind my back."

"You really want to leave me?"

The man sneered: "I said, you will never fly out of my palm."

"You can only be my wife, Lu Ziqian, in this life."
