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

"That bastard actually dares to come here?"

When Lord Lu heard the news of Fan Huarong's return, his face suddenly turned cold.

"It's good that he's here. It'll prevent Qingxue from seeing him and getting upset again. Let's cut to the chase and just make him write the divorce papers so we can part ways amicably!"

Madam Lu nodded in agreement, "He swore to our faces that he would treat Qingxue well, but he played these tricks behind our backs. That slut is already pregnant with his child, and he still wants to keep deceiving Qingxue!"

"I really feel sorry for Qingxue. The husband we arranged for Qingxue was Young Master Duan, but he kept pestering her and wouldn't let go."

She stopped appreciating him so soon after getting married; not a single word a man says can be trusted!

As Madam Lu finished speaking, Lord Lu and his sons exchanged glances, instinctively wanting to explain, but considering Madam Lu's temper, they all tacitly shut their mouths.

"Qingxue felt guilty towards him because she couldn't get pregnant. To cure her illness, she drank countless bowls of herbal medicine, even though she was always afraid of bitter tastes."

As his mother, I saw it all. Besides, Qingxue felt sorry for him and even suggested that he take a concubine. No matter what, we can't let him lose his offspring.

How nicely Fan Huarong spoke back then?

He said that Qingxue was the only one in his heart, and since he had said he would be devoted to her, he would not change his mind. Our whole family was moved by his sincerity.

Who would have thought this guy was two-faced, completely playing us for fools, and we all have to remember his kindness and try every possible way to make amends!

Madam Lu became angrier as she spoke. She had always thought she had a good son-in-law and was genuinely happy for Qingxue.

How happy I was before, now I find it all so ridiculous!

As Song Ruozhen listened to all this, a deep sense of disgust flashed in her eyes. Compared to those thoroughly wicked and heartless men, Fan Huarong was even more repulsive.

He led people step by step into his carefully crafted trap, making them feel guilty. When they finally learned the truth, not everyone had the same determination as Lu Qingxue to cut their losses.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably have suffered a lot of grievances, and if she told others about it, others would think she was being dramatic!

The most terrifying thing is that everyone assumes Fan Huarong won't mistreat her.

Looking at his wife's indignant expression, and even the way she looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, Chu Junting suddenly felt that he had truly been caught in the crossfire.

"Madam, rest assured, I am definitely not that kind of person," Chu Junting assured him in a low voice.

Fan Huarong, that hypocrite, has ruined the reputation of a group of men!

Lu Beichuan nodded repeatedly, "Fan Huarong is hypocritical, but the King of Chu is definitely not that kind of person!"

Actually, I'd felt something was off about Fan Huarong before. It wasn't that he was a bad person, but rather that none of his group of cronies were any good!

"What do you mean?" asked the eldest son of the Lu family.

"His close friends are all regulars at brothels. They're not exactly bad, but none of them are faithful."

I had previously overheard his friends talking loudly, saying that it was unreasonable for a man to be hung up on one woman, and that Fan Huarong shouldn't have made that promise in the first place, and that our family was just taking advantage of his affection for my sister to bully us.”

Thinking back to the situation at that time, Lu Beichuan felt a sense of disgust.

“I was very unhappy when I heard that, and I almost got into a fight with Xu Bin, but Fan Huarong stopped me.”

Lu Jia Dalang said with a sullen face, "No wonder. People are influenced by their surroundings. How can he be good if he hangs out with these guys all the time?"

You should have given them a good beating back then, and told us what happened when you got back. I know that bastard Xu Bin; he's no good at all!

Lu Beichuan nodded; he now regretted it too.

If I had known this would happen, I should have taken it seriously from the beginning and reminded my sister not to let Fan Huarong hang out with these scoundrels. Sure enough, trouble ensued.

Soon, everyone saw Fan Huarong rushing over.

Fan Huarong was surprised to see such a large group of people as soon as he arrived at the Lu family, and his unease grew stronger.

"Hua Rong has met his grandmother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law."

Lord Lu glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of mockery, "Lord Fan is so busy with affairs, yet he still has time to come to our Lu family?"

"Father-in-law, I don't understand what you mean."

Fan Huarong said sincerely, "I was ordered to go to other cities on business and only returned to the capital today. When I heard that Qingxue had an accident, I rushed here. It was really not intentional."

Looking at that face that showed no sign of hypocrisy, the members of the Lu family felt a complex mix of emotions at that moment.

Putting everything else aside, Fan Huarong's skill in deceiving people is truly masterful; anyone who sees him would believe he is completely sincere.

"You were so indifferent to Qingxue's pregnancy, what are you pretending for now?" Madam Lu mocked.

She had been holding back her anger for a long time and was about to have a serious talk with Fan Huarong when Lu Qingxue arrived.

“Father, Mother, I want to talk to him myself and make things clear.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, but seeing that Lu Qingxue's attitude was very firm and that she seemed to have already thought of a solution, they agreed.

"Then you two talk it out yourselves. We're nearby. Just call us if you need anything," Lord Lu said.

Fan Huarong watched this scene with unease. Only after everyone had left did he rush forward, saying with a mixture of heartache and guilt:

"Qingxue, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? It's such a big thing."

I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately and haven't taken good care of you. You must be very disappointed in me, right?

“I’m back now, and I’ll definitely stay by your side. I was heartbroken when I heard the news that the baby was gone, and I know you’re even more heartbroken.”

Don't be sad. We can have children in the future. Besides, whether we have children or not doesn't matter to me at all. As long as you're by my side, that's enough.

Listening to the man's heartfelt words, Lu Qingxue would have been deeply moved if she had known the truth beforehand. She would have felt incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

Looking at that flawlessly disguised face now, she felt only extreme irony.

"Don't say these things anymore. Our fate is over. Let's get a divorce."

Upon hearing this, Fan Huarong's eyes widened in disbelief. "Qingxue, are you kidding me? How could we possibly get a divorce?"

"Don't you know why we're getting a divorce?" Lu Qingxue retorted. "If you continue to pretend now, it's pointless."

Fan Huarong was startled. Could it be... that Qingxue already knew?
