Lu Huai'an's vision went black. The thirty lashes he had just received had almost killed him, and he would have to endure another thirty lashes in ten days!

Will his body be able to hold up then?

Song Biyun was also surprised. Ever since Lu Huai'an was beaten thirty times, it seemed that his health had been damaged, and even his performance in bed was not as good as before.

Now that he has been beaten thirty times, what will happen if he has to be beaten thirty more times?

After this thought came to her mind, her expression became strange. Although she didn't understand the connection between the two, she felt that if the foundation was damaged again and again, it would really not work.

If Lu Huai'an becomes incapable in this area in the future, then her inability to have children will no longer be a problem.

At that time, it would be futile for him to take another concubine; instead, people would laugh at him for being incompetent.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and help me back!"

Seeing that the Prefect had already left, and Song Biyun was still standing there blankly, Lu Huai'an shouted angrily.

If it weren't for this jinx, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!

Song Biyun sent someone to inform the Lu family, and after the Lu family's carriage arrived, she helped Lu Huai'an into the carriage.

However, when she was about to get into the carriage, Lu Huai'an stopped her.

"You don't need to go. I've made myself very clear today. I'll send the divorce papers to the Song family once I've written them."

Seeing that Lu Huai'an was still determined to take her, how could Song Biyun possibly resist?

"Snapped!"

She raised her hand and slapped Lu Huai'an across the face.

Lu Huai'an was stunned by the slap, his face instantly flushed red.

"Song Biyun, are you crazy? How dare you hit me!"

"Shouldn't you have hit me? That woman made it very clear before that she would rather marry a beggar than marry you. Don't you understand that I am the best for you?"

"You went too far by saying those things in public before, and now you want to divorce me? You're the one who's fickle, why should I be divorced by you!"

A crazed glint flashed in Song Biyun's eyes. "If you dare to divorce me, I'll die with you!"

Lu Huai'an looked at Song Biyun in disbelief, "You're crazy! You're really crazy now!"

Song Biyun used to be so obedient and followed his every word, but ever since she entered the door, she's like a completely different person!

Not only did they beat his mother, but now they dare to beat him too!

Even though he was furious and wanted to fight back, he was overcome by waves of pain in his back and had no strength left.

Let alone hitting Song Biyun, what if Song Biyun hits him hard and his wound hits another spot? Wouldn't that hurt him terribly?

Therefore, Lu Huai'an could only feel frustrated the whole way.

When he returned to the Lu residence and saw Li Xiaoniang, his eyes were almost filled with tears. "Mother, you must get rid of her quickly! This woman is simply insane!"

When the Lu family saw Lu Huai'an walk out and be carried back, they were familiar with the blood-stained appearance on his back, since Lu Huai'an had been carried back before.

But... what did he do this time to get punished?

"Huai'an, have you caused trouble again today? Was this beating from the government?"

The First Madam's face turned ashen. Lu Huai'an was an illegitimate son, and she had always looked down on him.

After the scandalous incident that had caused shame to the entire household, she had wanted to kick Li Xiaoniang and Lu Huai'an out, but considering they were the master's children, she ultimately held back.

I thought I would behave myself after getting married, but I didn't expect to be beaten and sent back today. What did I do wrong?

"No, it's not."

Lu Huai'an looked embarrassed.

The First Madam breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the rest of the household rushed over. The eldest son of the Lu family frowned deeply: "Who exactly beat you?"

The Lu family has some influence in the capital, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to punish Lu Huai'an. Since it wasn't an official, it must be someone in a high position.

Lu Huai'an hesitated, not daring to speak.

The First Madam immediately sensed something was wrong and sternly demanded, "Speak up now!"

"It is the Princess Consort of Chu."

Upon hearing the words "Princess Consort of Chu," everyone's hearts sank. In the capital city, the most sought-after couple were the Prince of Chu and his consort!

Now that Grand Tutor Ling is finished, a number of officials have been implicated, and the King of Chu is investigating. Countless lives are in his hands.

Princess Chu had made a great contribution, and the Emperor praised her highly in court. Once the case was thoroughly investigated, she should be rewarded.

Lord Lu has been anxious these past few days. He had some interaction with Grand Tutor Ling before, and had tried to curry favor with him to get on his good side, but unfortunately, Grand Tutor Ling didn't think much of him at all.

Although I didn't participate, I'm afraid that if some connection is found, it will be hard to explain.

At this critical juncture, Lu Huai'an actually went to find the Princess Consort of Chu?

"You're insane! Do you want to ruin the Lu family?!"

The First Madam was furious and slapped Lu Huai'an across the face.

Lu Huai'an: "..."

Although Li Xiaoniang felt sorry for her son, she also knew that he had indeed caused trouble. In front of the Madam, she, as a mere maid, had no right to speak.

"This matter will not be easily forgotten. When the master returns, he will settle accounts with you!"

The First Madam had a sullen face, thinking to herself that she must make things clear when the Master returned. She couldn't let such a scourge stay in the house any longer, or the whole family would be implicated!

"Go back inside first."

The First Madam did not say anything more and quickly had someone help Lu Huai'an back to his room.

As soon as he returned to his room, Lu Huai'an lay on the bed and said, "Mother, I'm going to write a letter of divorce to divorce her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been beaten today!"

"You mean you were beaten up today because of Song Biyun?"

Li Xiaoniang was initially worried that her son had caused the trouble, so she didn't react immediately when she saw Song Biyun. She never expected that everything was caused by Song Biyun.

"I was just looking at a girl I had taken a fancy to and wanted to ask if she would be willing to be my concubine. But when she saw me, she rushed up to me like a madwoman and kept pestering me. She even pushed me into the river."

Just then, the Princess Consort of Chu happened to pass by, and immediately assumed it was all my fault, giving me thirty lashes!

Lu Huai'an tried to downplay the issue, but became increasingly angry as he spoke, "I had heard before that she had offended the Princess Consort of Chu, otherwise, she would have sided with us, even though she is my cousin."

"Mother, the authorities have sentenced me to thirty strokes of the cane, and I have to go back for another stroke in ten days. That woman is a jinx; she's practically killing me!"

"What?!" Li Xiaoniang exclaimed in shock, "Another thirty strokes of the cane?"

Lu Huai'an nodded dejectedly. He knew all too well just how unbearable this punishment was!

"Song Biyun, you jinx! Didn't I tell you not to come back? How dare you still bother Huai'an outside? How can you be so shameless?"
