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

"if not?"

Her eyes were red as blood, she stared at him, crying blood in every word: "Lu Ziqian, I hate you!!"

"I really want a divorce, but compared to my eldest brother's life, divorce is nothing."

"I did put you first in everything I did before, but I won't lose sight of the important at the critical moment."

Lu Ziqian met Su Yujiao's gaze. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger and hatred, cold as ice, and frightening.

It was not until this moment that he realized how excessive he had been!

She disguised herself, slept in the open air, and was trapped in the epidemic area, just to perform a meritorious service and save lives.

But he gave this only chance to others without thinking.

Still the person she hates the most!

No wonder she hated him. She deserved to hate him. Anyone would hate him!

At this moment, he could understand why she was so emotional and would rather die than let him give her the chance back.

His greatest obsession in this life was to recapture the Akamuliao Plain. Although the grassland was not lost in his hands, it was a shame for the Daming Kingdom.

Recovering Akagi Liaoyuan is the expectation of all the people of Daming and also his dream.

He dreamed of taking it back, but he failed last time.

If he fought bravely and risked his life to recover the lost territory, it would be handed over to the Jin people whom he hated the most.

He might explode right where he is!

Lu Ziqian stammered, wanting to say something to explain himself, but he couldn't say anything.

At this point, all explanations seem pale.

Su Yujiao looked haggard, her eyes slightly red and swollen. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, she asked in a trembling voice, "Is there no room for change in this matter?"

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to know if there were any other possibilities.

After all, this matter was not done by Lu Ziqian alone. The prince and even Gu Heng were also involved. If she insisted on making a fuss in front of the emperor.

Concubine Jing and the Third Prince will definitely hold on to the Crown Prince.

The crime of deceiving the emperor could be serious or minor, and she could not predict the subsequent consequences. If she exposed the truth, how would she end up?

In a society where imperial power is supreme, the lives of ordinary people are worth less than those of ants. She has no right to stir up trouble here.

Although exposing Chen Yunniang's theft would result in her being punished, she could not do so.

This is also the reason why Chen Yunniang is not afraid of being exposed and is arrogant in public.

So, she could only suffer in silence this time!

A hint of apology flashed in the man's eyes, and he shook his head helplessly.

Su Yujiao looked at him and shook her head, then suddenly broke down and cried.

Lu Ziqian looked at the woman's despair and tears at that moment, and a trace of pain passed through his heart.

He held her hand and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Su Yujiao wanted to shake him off, but she was too weak to lift her head, so she could only let him pull her.

"Actually, even if it weren't for Yun... Chen Yunniang, you wouldn't be able to accomplish this."

Su Yujiao stopped crying and stared at him sharply.

When she was on the verge of an emotional outburst, Lu Ziqian hurriedly explained: "I'm not trying to justify myself, but this is a dead end."

"Do you know who your eldest brother became the scapegoat for?"

Su Yujiao stared at him. Lu Ziqian knew that this was cruel, but he still told her the truth.

"That corruption case wasn't difficult to investigate. All the clues pointed to the Third Prince. When the Crown Prince traced his investigation back to the Third Prince, the Emperor called a halt to it."

"Do you know what this means?"

Almost in an instant, despair surged into every part of his body.

Su Yujiao widened her eyes in disbelief. The corrupt tycoon was the third prince?

The Emperor is protecting his son?

Lu Ziqian looked at Su Yujiao's pale little face, and he could feel her despair and coldness for a moment.

He lowered his head and wrapped her cold fingertips in an attempt to warm her up.

"Jiaojiao, I can tell what's important and what's not."

"I know that if performing a meritorious service could save someone, you would definitely choose to save your elder brother, and would not waste such a precious opportunity on a trivial matter like divorce."

"The reason I think you're doing this to get a divorce is because there's no one who can save your eldest brother."

"So, I naturally ruled out this possibility. Plus, I took what he said in anger seriously."

Su Yujiao didn't listen to what he said at all, but was immersed in pain and unable to extricate herself.

The Empress Dowager has been dead for a year. In two years, the Emperor's three-year mourning period will be over. Will my eldest brother be dead by then?

How does she accept this news?

How can my parents and sister-in-law accept this?

I have two lovely nephews and nieces who are so young. Are they going to lose their father forever?

She suddenly felt so angry, hating herself for being so mean and telling her family the good news before things were confirmed.

If they continue to live in despair, they will gradually become numb, and it will be relatively easier for them to accept the day when their eldest brother passes away.

But now, she gave her family great hope, but pushed them into despair with her own hands.

How can they bear this feeling of falling from the clouds to hell?

"Who?"

Lu Ziqian keenly noticed that there was someone at the door.

The prince pushed the door open and touched his nose awkwardly. "Sorry, I originally wanted to come over to visit my cousin's wife. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear it."

"Cousin, I've let you down regarding Chen Yunniang's matter. I'm deeply sorry."

"I vaguely heard a few words from your conversation just now. It was about Brother Su."

"If you can convince Brother Su to change his appearance and live in seclusion in the mountains after he is released from prison, I can use a trick to deceive everyone and replace him with someone else."

"You can't even hide your identity, and you have to change your appearance? What you mean is that my brother can't even use his own face?" Su Yujiao was very emotional.

The prince knew it was cruel, but he had to do it.

"Brother Su's face is too... stunning. It might cause trouble."

Lu Ziqian, Su Yujing, Nalan Ruochen, and Pei Yuanshao are recognized as the four most handsome young men in the capital!

Su Yujiao understood her elder brother's personality. He was a pure, elegant, gentle and decent person. He would never agree to live in such a miserable way.

But she still wanted to give it a try. After all, it was better to live a miserable life than to die. Maybe if she compromised now, there would be a turning point in the future.

If you lose your life, you lose everything!

She nodded: "I am willing to persuade Big Brother."

That night, Su Yujiao met Su Yujing under the arrangement of the prince, but as expected, Su Yujing refused.

He would rather die than live his whole life hiding like a rat.

"Jiaojiao, go back now. You don't have to worry about big brother's affairs anymore."

"Take good care of my parents and two children for me."

"Your sister-in-law is a good woman. Let her find a good family to remarry. I am the one who has let her down."

Su Yujiao looked at her elder brother with his unshaven beard and bony appearance, and found it hard to associate him with the gentle and elegant young man he used to be.

Life in prison is worse than that of pigs and dogs. I didn’t expect that my brother, who is just a scholar, could persevere.

She couldn't imagine how strong his inner self was. If it were someone else, they would have committed suicide out of hatred because they could not bear the humiliation.
