Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Seeing his mother's face change so suddenly, Lu Beichuan couldn't help but feel helpless.

He was already used to his mother being like this, but his sister-in-law probably wasn't.

However, Song Ruozhen retorted with righteous indignation, "Aunt, I think you're right. This kind of ungrateful and heartless man should be taught a lesson. We must not let him end up well!"

“If it weren’t for him, my cousin wouldn’t have suffered so much. He not only lied to my cousin, but also betrayed your trust in him.”

Not to mention, when his father sent him out on official business, he brought a beautiful young woman with him, which shows he's incompetent in both his conduct and his work!

Mrs. Lu was taken aback when Song Ruozhen said such a thing. She was stunned for a moment, and then a big smile appeared on her face.

"Zhen'er, your aunt has seen you too few times before, and I never expected you to be such a smart and insightful girl."

"Thank you so much for saving your cousin. I really don't know how to thank you enough. I just happened to acquire a century-old ginseng these past few days; please take it back and use it to nourish your body."

Madam Lu thought about how Song Ruozhen had turned pale when she treated Qingxue, which must have taken a lot of effort.

"No need, please save the ginseng for my cousin. I'm perfectly healthy, and besides, we're family. Aunt, there's no need for thanks."

Song Ruozhen waved her hand. They had everything they needed in their mansion, and they didn't lack anything. Besides, Lu Qingxue had already had a hard time, and after experiencing such a big blow, she could only hope that Lu Qingxue could stay strong.

"No, you must accept it, otherwise your aunt will feel uneasy."

Madam Lu was very firm in her stance. After the two of them tried to refuse, Song Ruozhen finally agreed because she couldn't refuse any longer.

"Ruozhen, your aunt has heard that you are very skilled in metaphysics. Does she know if you have any way to kill such a heartless man?" Madam Lu asked with a curious look.

Lu Beichuan: "..." He knew his mother's ideas were always peculiar.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback; her aunt's question was truly unexpected.

"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Even without this method, a person like him will not have a good end."

Song Ruozhen comforted Madam Lu, saying that she didn't need to worry about such things at all. As the daughter of the Lu family, Lu Qingxue's status was self-evident, and Fan Huarong's marriage to her was a great help.

Even though Fan Huarong himself was capable and never asked her to do anything after marrying Lu Qingxue, just the fact that he married Lu Qingxue would make many people in the court look at him differently.

But now that they're divorced, not only will the Lu family's support be gone, but others will also distance themselves from him, and he will definitely be affected.

When the time comes, you'll regret it immensely.

"You're right, he's definitely not going to have a good time!"

Madam Lu nodded in agreement. She had never suffered any great injustice in all her years of life, and her own daughter would never suffer the same!

She'll go find the master later; she has to make things difficult for that scoundrel. She really can't swallow this insult!

Looking at Madam Lu's expression, Song Ruozhen silently wished Fan Huarong a better future...

She did some quick calculations with her fingers, and her expression suddenly turned strange.

"My lord, it seems we'll have to have lunch here today."

Seeing his wife's meaningful expression, Chu Junting quickly guessed what she meant, "Could it be that Fan Huarong is coming back today?"

“That’s good!” Song Ruozhen nodded. “I’d better go and remind my cousin and aunt, and see what they plan to do.”

When Old Madam Lu, Madam Lu, and Lu Qingxue learned of this news, they were all filled with astonishment.

"They're actually coming back?" Madam Lu squinted, her anger blazing. "I'll break that bastard's leg today!"

"Don't act rashly, listen to Qingxue's thoughts."

Looking at her daughter-in-law's expression, which seemed to want to hit her herself, Old Madam Lu felt a sense of helplessness.

Her daughter-in-law is good in every way, except that she is impulsive. Even after being the matriarch of the Lu family for so many years, her temperament has not changed at all.

Madam Lu turned to look at Lu Qingxue and asked, "Qingxue, what do you think?"

“I want to take this opportunity to divorce them today and ask everyone to help me keep the news of the child a secret, so that he can think the child is gone.”

Lu Qingxue's face was pale, but her eyes were extremely firm; she didn't want to endure it any longer.

In fact, from the very beginning, after she found out she had been betrayed, she never thought about getting back together. It was just that because of so many years of feelings, she simply couldn't let go of them completely in a short time.

So she spent some time watching him deceive her time and time again, watching Fan Huarong maneuver between the two of them time and time again, and now she has completely given up.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and agreed that it was a good thing.

Qingxue's health was already poor, and this child was conceived with great difficulty. From now on, the child will take the Lu family surname.

If Fan Huarong finds out, he will inevitably try to see the child again, and may even try to take the child away. Qingxue absolutely cannot accept this.

"I will tell everyone who knows about this today, and I will make sure they don't spread the news," Madam Lu said hurriedly.

Lu Qingxue nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Mother."

"Silly child, why are you saying such things to your mother?"

Meanwhile, Fan Huarong and Cui Ying'er returned to the capital together.

"Erlang, I really don't want to go back to the capital. I just hope to stay outside with you forever, so that you will belong to me alone."

Cui Ying'er sat in the carriage, nestled in Fan Huarong's arms, her eyes filled with adoration and longing.

Fan Huarong smiled broadly and put his arm around Cui Ying'er, saying, "We agreed beforehand that you can't be so greedy."

Cui Ying'er pouted, "Erlang, I've already been yours for a long time, and now I'm pregnant. Don't you plan to let me into the family?"

Even if you're willing to let me suffer, can you bear to let your son wander outside forever?

I have a feeling I'm carrying a son. Lu Qingxue can't have children, you know that."

"You know Qingxue's temperament. I promised her before that I wouldn't take a concubine. If you were to enter the family, how could she possibly bear the shock?"

Fan Huarong refused without hesitation, saying, "Don't worry, I will not mistreat our child. I will take him back to my residence to raise him and will never let him suffer any injustice."

"And what about me? Can you really bear to leave me outside all this time?" Cui Ying'er said, feeling wronged.

Fan Huarong smiled faintly, "Don't be sad. Even if you live outside, I still come to keep you company, don't I?"

I'll always be there for you whenever you need me, and besides, you know how I've treated you.

Now that we're back in the capital, we can't act like before. We have to be more discreet, especially in front of Qingxue. Do you understand?

Cui Ying'er felt a surge of dissatisfaction, but she could only nod, "I understand, don't worry!"
