Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Dong dong~" The sudden sound interrupted Liu Hexian's thoughts, and he asked with some displeasure: "Who?"

"Xian, it's me!" A soft female voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Meiruo walked in with a cup of hot nourishing soup in her hands. Niao Niao carefully placed the soup aside and said softly, "Xian, Ruo'er saw that you must be tired after being busy for so long, so she made a cup of nourishing soup to nourish you."

As she spoke, she walked behind Liu Hexian, pressed her soft body against him, and gently stroked his temple with her slender hands, massaging him with moderate force.

Liu Hexian closed his eyes lightly and enjoyed himself for a while, still thinking about the complicated affairs of the day.

"Xian, are you comfortable?" Meiruo pressed half of her body against him and whispered in Liu Hexian's ear with a sweet breath.

"Yeah." He responded vaguely, but his mind was still thinking about other things.

Mei Ruo also clearly sensed Liu Hexian's absent-mindedness, and her displeasure and worry intensified. Her temper also flared up, and she loosened her grip and said resentfully, "Xian! What's wrong with you? Don't you like Ruo'er anymore? Ruo'er...what did Ruo'er do wrong? Xian, how could you do this?!"

Liu Hexian narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but when he thought about how he had treated her wrongly just now, he managed to hold his temper and said, "Ruo'er, stop it. Can't you see I'm very busy now? It's getting late, you should go get some rest! Look at you, you're only wearing so little, you'll catch a cold and it'll be terrible!"

"No! I don't want it! Xian, Ruo'er wants to accompany you! If you don't go to rest, Ruo'er won't be able to either!" Meiruo insisted.

Liu Hexian was also unhappy after hearing this and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I told you to go and rest, so you go! Ruo'er, don't think that just because I pamper you, you can do whatever you want. Remember! No one can go against my words! You are no different! Come! Send my wife back to rest!"

Mei Ruo was startled by Liu Hexian's sudden temper. Looking at the servant who walked in from outside, she lowered her eyes and bit her lip, unwillingly saying: "Xian, I...Ruo'er didn't mean it! Xian, please don't be angry, okay? Xian, forgive Ruo'er this time! From now on, whatever you say is what it is, and Ruo'er will never say anything again! Xian... wuwuwu..." As she spoke, crystal tears fell.

Seeing this, Liu Hexian felt sorry for her and was about to say something when a sharp female voice came from outside the door.

"Mom!" When Liu Hanyue saw her mother standing aside crying pitifully, and then saw that the servant beside her actually wanted to touch her beloved mother, she immediately ran in impulsively, and without thinking, she whipped the poor servant.

Before anyone could react, Liu Hanyue angrily said to Liu Hexian, "Dad! What are you doing? This...this damn lowly servant actually wanted to touch Mother! Dad, why didn't you stop him?"

"How dare you! Yue'er! Who gave you the courage to use violence in my study!" The Liu family has a rule that the study is a restricted area and violence is not allowed.

"Isn't that because Dad forced me to do that? If you hadn't stopped me, why would I have interfered?" Liu Hanyue replied without knowing she was wrong.

"You actually dare to talk back to dad! Yue'er, you are becoming more and more lawless!" Liu Hexian said coldly.

Meiruo noticed that the atmosphere between father and daughter was not right, and she quickly said, "Yue'er! Don't be like this! It's Mom's fault! I angered your father, and that's why you ended up like this! ... Yue'er, apologize to your father quickly!"

"Mom! What happened?"

Meiruo just happened to tell the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Hanyue became even angrier: "Dad! What did Mom do wrong? Not only do you want to let her down like this, but you also want to drive her away?" Liu Hanyue now only saw that her father was bullying her weak mother.

"Yue'er, don't think that just because daddy dotes on you, you can step on his head!" Liu Hexian said angrily.

"It's obviously your fault, Dad! Why are you blaming Mom? Dad, don't you think you're treating Mom worse and worse? I don't understand why you've become like this... Is it... Is it that girl called Mei Ye? Ever since Dad met her, Dad has become unlike Dad. Dad, you..." Liu Hanyue was still nagging when she was suddenly interrupted by a loud roar: "Get out!"

"Dad...you..." "Didn't you hear me? Get out! Get out!" Liu Hexian couldn't stand it anymore and roared loudly.

Meiruo and her daughter were obviously frightened by the furious Liu Hexian, so they had to walk out in a hurry.

Lianmeiyuan

Mei Ruo finally managed to comfort Liu Hanyue and let her leave obediently, but she sat blankly on the edge of the bed with a complicated look in her eyes.

What should she do? Liu Hexian is treating her worse and worse now. Does he no longer love her? Will he abandon her? How could she not know what kind of person Liu Hexian is, having been by his side for so many years? He treats people he doesn't care about with unimaginable coldness, just like Si He and Chu Xiang'er, who she had killed before. After all, they gave birth to a son for Liu Hexian, but after they died, Liu Hexian never cared about them from beginning to end. She couldn't imagine how Liu Hexian would treat her when he no longer doted on her. Would he ignore her, find a new love, and then end up like Si He and the others? Or would she be thrown into the Xiuhun Tower and live like a servant? No! No! She would never allow such a thing to happen! Absolutely not! So what should she do?

"Madam!" Suddenly, a female voice reached Meiruo's ears, startling her. She looked around, but there was no one there. She hurriedly called out in a trembling voice, "Who...who is it? Come...come quickly..." Meiruo was interrupted before she could finish, "Madam, don't be afraid! I'm here to help you!"

Mei Ruo was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said nervously, "Help...help me? Why...why should I trust you?"

"Haha! Madam, to tell you the truth, I am a reclusive master. I happened to meet you and felt that you and I are destined to be together, so I wanted to help you. Are you worried about your husband's attitude towards you?"

"This...this...how did you know?" Mei Ruo looked around anxiously.

"I've already said I'm a reclusive master, so how could I not know about such a small matter? Could it be that Madam doesn't believe me? Well, since Madam doesn't believe me, then forget it, I'm leaving..." Upon hearing that this reclusive master was about to leave, Mei Ruo hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Wait!... I... I believe in masters!" This... this might be the opportunity God has given her! Regardless of whether she is a master or not, let's wait and see.

"Master, since you know my suffering, then... I wonder if there is any way you can help me?" Mei Ruo asked cautiously.

"Well... let me calculate it for Madam first." Then there was a silence.

Meiruo's heart is in turmoil now. She wonders if this master can really help her.

Finally, the master spoke: "Madam, your marriage is over!"

"What?!" Mei Ruo couldn't help but scream, then shook her head in panic, muttering "No! How is this possible? No! No! I don't want it!..." The thoughts that had just appeared in her mind came up again, and now Mei Ruo's mind was full of Liu Hexian no longer wanting her.

"Madam, calm down!" A cold voice reached her ears. Meiruo was like a drowning person grabbing at the only piece of floating wood in the water, and she said excitedly: "Master! Master! Help me! Help you! Please help me! Master, please help me! Master, I want you to ask for anything! As long as you help me! Please! Please!"

"Don't worry, Madam. I told you I would help you!"

"Thank you so much, Master! Thank you so much, Master! Master, tell me! What do you want me to do?" Mei Ruo thanked him repeatedly and said anxiously.

"Madam, there must be a foreign guest in your home recently!"

"Yes! Yes! The master has supernatural powers! A prince from the Fire Nation has indeed come!" Mei Ruo said honestly.

"Madam, I've figured out that your husband signed a contract with the prince, and that contract is your opportunity!"

"Contract? Then... what does the master want me to do?"

"Take the contract and hand it over to me! Your husband's cultivation is not low, but it's slightly inferior to mine, so it's safest to leave it with me. When the time comes, Madam can use this contract to threaten your husband, and that way, your husband will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"This...this...how could I do such a thing that would let my husband down?" Mei Ruo struggled inwardly.

"Madam, you don't want to? Madam, you must think carefully. This contract is the only thing that can preserve your status. Don't forget, your husband no longer loves you. If he doesn't want you anymore, you will be left with nothing."

Mei Ruo became even more panicked when she heard this, and the voice disappeared, as if giving her time to think.

From the panic, struggle, and tangled emotions, it seemed that something suddenly occurred to him, and his eyes gradually became cold and cruel...

Finally, Meiruo, who had been bowing her head, raised her head and smiled softly, but her eyes were cold. She said softly, "Okay, I do!"
