In the bamboo garden.

Aunt Gui handed a cup of scented tea to Li Shu and asked hesitantly, "Why are you so angry today, Miss?"

Li Shu took a sip of the scented tea and did not answer.

Before sending Fei'er out of the Marquis' Mansion, she felt that the emperor asked Fei'er to meet her more often before she got married because he wanted to take advantage of the last bit of time to deepen the relationship between her and Fei'er so that if anything happened to Fei'er in the future, she would be sad enough.

But when she sent Fei'er to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and looked at the more than a hundred people waiting outside, she felt that things might not be that simple.

The emperor's action must have a deeper meaning that she could not imagine at the moment.

Just then, the person in front of Xu Daijun bumped into her, and she took the opportunity to show her the bracelet her grandmother had given her, ready to let everyone in the capital know that she had such a bracelet.

So that after she lost her title of the Crown Prince's Wife of the Dingbei Marquisate, she could use this bracelet to break the impasse when necessary.

Moreover, there must be the emperor's spies inside and outside the marquis's mansion.

Her uncharacteristically strong performance today should make the emperor somewhat cautious in his future actions.

After all, she has Lin Yuan, a trump card in her hand that can allow her to sneak into any place in the palace at any time.

And the emperor didn't know how many cards like that she had in her hand!

Seeing that she didn't answer, Aunt Gui didn't ask any more questions and turned around to get some snacks to go with her tea.

Li Shu had just finished half of a piece of dessert when Jingzhe came in. "Miss, the uncle is here. He said he wants to see you no matter what. I wanted to send them away directly, but the uncle said something very strange..."

Seeing Jingzhe hesitate to speak, Li Shu put down the snack and asked, "What did you say?"

"My uncle asked me to ask my young lady if she had also dreamed of those two unfilial sons who have grown up."

"..."

Li Shu's expression changed slightly.

After a few moments of silence, he sighed and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

After Jingzhe responded, Li Shu added, "Take him to the hall."

Later, when Li Shu went to the hall accompanied by Nanny Xiang and Qinghong Cuiwei, Ning Jin and his servant were already there.

Ning Jin asked her with a feeling of grievance and sadness, "Shushu, we are still husband and wife after all, and you won't even let me into your room?"

"Not any time soon."

"Could it be..."

Ning Jin unconsciously raised his voice, as if facing a formidable enemy, and asked, "Have you asked the Emperor to grant us a divorce?"

Li Shu shook her head, walked around the master and servants, and sat down at the head of the table. She then looked at Ning Ge, who was supporting Ning Jin, and said, "Help your young master take a seat. You and Aunt Gui will wait outside."

Ning Ge glanced at Ning Jin, and only did as he was told after getting Ning Jin's consent.

Li Shu said to Aunt Gui again, "Close the door later."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui responded and led Qinghong Cuiwei out first.

Before closing the door, Li Shu looked at Ning Jin calmly for a few seconds.

When she first saw Ning Jin, she was quite surprised.

His face was covered with stubble, his hair was messy, and his complexion looked so bad that it looked like he had some terminal illness that would kill him soon.

Is his disease so serious?

Then, as soon as the door closed, she asked, "What exactly did you dream about?"

Ning Jin's breathing quickly quickened, and an expression of immense pain instantly formed on his face. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "I dreamed that you were dead, but no one discovered you until you had turned into bones. And our two children accused each other in front of you. I, I still..."

Ning Jin couldn't believe that he would treat Li Shu with such indifference in the future. He stopped talking and looked at Li Shu, but saw that Li Shu looked normal. His heart ached. "Shushu, you really did dream about those two unfilial sons, so you don't want them, right? You must have also dreamed about how I treated you, so you don't want me either?"

Li Shu didn't answer, but just looked at him calmly.

Recently, the frequency of her dreams has decreased a lot, and her mood when she falls asleep has become more peaceful.

So at this moment, one can say that his heart is as calm as still water, without any fluctuation at all.

But Ning Jin is still in the initial stage.

She was even more excited than when she first woke up from the dream.

He stood up, rushed to her in a few steps, stretched out his hands to pull her and touch her, but stopped abruptly.

"But Shushu, that's not me! I can't treat you like that! Absolutely not! And those two unfilial sons are gone. We don't have to have children anymore. I can even give up the position of the prince, but I can't live without..."

"Ning Jin, I, whose heart and eyes were filled with you and Li Yunzhi and his son, ended up bearing a great infamy, suffering from illness and pain alone in this dilapidated courtyard until I died, then rotted and became maggot-infested, until I was reduced to a pile of bones."

"..."

Ning Jin staggered back a few steps, almost falling.

They grew up together.

Know each other very well.

Shushu said that she saw the whole process of her death and turning into bones in her dream!

Do not!

more than!

She was probably seeing the entire future until she turned into bones!

But he didn't dare to ask.

Some even wanted to turn around and run away.

Li Shu stared at him for a moment, then continued, "I know you feel you're innocent, that you're not the one being manipulated by Xie Yu. You could never treat me like that. I shouldn't be so heartless to you. I've thought more than once about how great it would have been if you'd seen the panic and helplessness in my eyes when you woke me up that day, hugged me and told me it was all just a nightmare. But you didn't do that, and I don't want to end up dying with no one to collect my body."

Several months later, Ning Jin clearly recalled the day when he grabbed Li Shu's collar and woke her up because of Li Shu's words. Li Shu's eyes were full of panic and helplessness, and she looked so fragile that she seemed as if her whole body was about to break.

Why did he turn a blind eye to it at that time?

He loves Shushu so much, even if she is under someone's control, he shouldn't ignore Shushu like that!

Without any warning, Ning Jin's head began to hurt again.

He held his head and banged it hard again and again.

Then he screamed hysterically.

Li Shu was frightened.

Just as he was about to call Ning Ge in, Ning Ge opened the door and ran in.

But as soon as he got close to Ning Jin, he was kicked away by Ning Jin.

Li Shu was about to call Jingzhe and the others to come in for help, but Lin Yuan suddenly appeared and easily subdued Ning Jin.

He was knocked unconscious by a single blow from a knife.

When Li Shu heard that sound, she felt as if her neck had been hit and she even had a phantom pain.

Fortunately, Ning Ge just gave Lin Yuan a cold look, then pulled Ning Jin up and carried him away in a hurry without causing any trouble.

After the master and servant disappeared outside the door, Li Shu stopped Lin Yuan and said, "Don't come over here yet."

Lin Yuan stopped with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Shu shook her head slightly, forcing away the phantom pain.

After Lin Yuan understood what was going on, he frowned and asked softly, "Miss, are you feeling bad? Should I hit him less harshly next time?"

"That's not necessary! When did you come?"

"Just arrived. There's a letter from Sanniang to the young lady."

"Kong Sanniang gave it to me? Has she returned to the capital?"

"I don't know. The envelope is addressed to the young lady personally, but I didn't open it to read it."

"Give it to me quickly."

"Miss, didn't you tell me not to come over?"

"..."

Li Shu had a hunch that he did it on purpose. Just as she was about to ask him to come over, he threw the letter directly to her.

It was thrown quite accurately.

The moment the letter fell into her hands, she let out a hiss.

Very light.

Lin Yuan, who had excellent hearing, immediately flashed in front of her, took her hand and asked, "Did it hurt? It's my fault for not controlling the force well. I'll apply medicine to you right away."

Li Shu said without blushing, "Yes, it hurts so much. Will you dare to throw the letter at me next time?"

Lin Yuan reached into his arms to feel for the medicine.

I was halfway through touching it when I suddenly came to my senses.

He immediately let go of Li Shu's hand and said, "Miss, please take a look at what is written in Sanniang's letter."

Li Shu said "hmm" and took out the letter.

But there was only one sentence in the letter.

During the Lantern Festival, please come to Wangshu Pavilion in Peacock Terrace to meet me.

Does this mean that Kong Sanniang will arrive in Beijing on the Lantern Festival?

Li Shu became a little excited.

But she never expected that Li Yunzhi would deliver her and Ning Jin's divorce letter to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion on the Lantern Festival.
