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

Cui Ying'er's expression turned very unpleasant upon hearing the steward's words.

Although the courtyard where she lived was arranged by the Marquis through the steward, she could sense that the steward still favored Lu Qingxue.

Even though his attitude towards her was not bad, it was far less respectful than his attitude towards Lu Qingxue. At this moment, he even opened his mouth to stop her from stepping into the Marquis's mansion.

"Steward, you know that the madam is going to divorce the marquis, right?"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Besides, it was the Marquis who allowed me to escort him back. Is there anything wrong with that?" Cui Ying'er said unhappily.

The steward frowned slightly. He could naturally sense Cui Ying'er's temperament. She was only pretending to be obedient in front of the Marquis. In reality, she was a bully who relied on her power and was no match for the Madam.

"Qingxue, let's go back inside."

Fan Huarong put one hand on Lu Qingxue's shoulder, his gaze towards her filled with longing.

However, when Cui Ying'er heard that Fan Huarong had mistaken her for Lu Qingxue, her face turned very ugly, especially in front of the housekeeper, which felt like a silent mockery.

The steward didn't stop Cui Ying'er this time. His master was in a bad mood today, and besides, the madam was definitely not coming back today.

Cui Ying'er helped Fan Huarong into the house. Looking at the empty furnishings, there wasn't a single thing a young lady would like, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Could it be that Lu Qingxue wasn't faking it, and she really intends to get a divorce?"

She had tried to provoke Lu Qingxue before, but it hadn't worked. She thought the woman was deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb. But after going out with the Marquis for half a month, Lu Qingxue made up her mind when she came back.

I was originally thinking of finding a way to get in, but now it seems there's no need to worry.

"Qingxue, please don't leave me."

Fan Huarong hugged Cui Ying'er, all the guilt and reluctance rushing in at this moment, "I was wrong, I will drive Cui Ying'er away, and this will never happen again, okay?"

Cui Ying'er had never seen Fan Huarong like this before. Every time she met the Marquis, he was aloof, confident, and willful.

She was careful in everything she did, trying her best to win the Marquis's favor, but she never expected that the Marquis would be like this in front of Leng Ku Qingxue.

"Why should Lu Qingxue be treated like this by the Marquis?"

Cui Ying'er clenched her fists, seething with hatred, but she could only suppress it for the moment.

Since Lu Qingxue is going to get a divorce anyway, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

"My lord, I won't leave. I will stay with you forever."

The next day, when Lu Beichuan arrived at the Marquis's residence with the things Lu Qingxue had asked him to return, he ignored the steward's attempts to stop him and went straight into the courtyard.

"Why are you blocking me like this? Is there something you're doing wrong?"

“Young Master Lu, you’ve misunderstood. Our Marquis drank too much last night and hasn’t woken up yet,” the steward explained.

Lu Beichuan's eyes were full of mockery. "If he's just not awake yet, why are you so nervous?"

"Young master, you've misunderstood. It really isn't true."

The steward was secretly anxious. Cui Ying'er hadn't left since she arrived yesterday, and he was afraid she was still in the room with the Marquis.

"boom!"

Lu Beichuan kicked the door open.

"what--"

When Cui Ying'er saw someone suddenly kick open the door, she screamed in fright.

Upon hearing this, Lu Beichuan's face instantly darkened. He truly hadn't expected Fan Huarong to be such a beast.

His older sister had just asked him for a divorce yesterday. If he still cared about his sister, he wouldn't have brought another woman back that very night, much less stayed in his sister's house.

"I was wondering why my sister suddenly decided to divorce you. So this is how you bullied my sister in the Marquis's mansion?"

Lu Beichuan hardened his fists; no matter what, he was determined to teach Fan Huarong a lesson today to avenge his sister!

Fan Huarong had just woken up, his head throbbing from the hangover, but seeing Lu Beichuan rush into the room, he quickly sobered up.

Turning his head, he saw Cui Ying'er lying beside him.

"Why are you here?"

A look of disbelief flashed in Fan Huarong's eyes as he stared wide-eyed at Cui Ying'er beside him.

Cui Ying'er panicked a little when asked, and quickly explained, "My lord, you were drunk last night, so I brought you back..."

"Who gave you permission to sleep here!"

Fan Huarong's face was clouded with gloom. "This is Qingxue's and my room. How dare you come in?"

Cui Ying'er had never seen Fan Huarong so terrifying. He seemed like he would take her life at any moment, extremely fierce and frightening.

"My lord, I...I was wrong..."

She shrank back off the bed, her eyes filled with endless panic and fear.

"What are you pretending for? He brought her back to sleep in my sister's room. Yesterday he was pretending he didn't want a divorce. What's the point?"

With a livid face, Lu Beichuan rushed in and punched Fan Huarong without any hesitation.

"You're not allowed to bully my sister!"

"Our whole family believed your lies back then, and actually thought you would treat my sister well. If we had known you were this kind of person, we would never have let you marry my sister no matter what!"

Fan Huarong took a solid punch, but did not retaliate.

"Beichuan, this is all a misunderstanding. I drank too much yesterday, that's why this happened. How could I let another woman take Qingxue's place?"

Song Ruozhen had been invited to the Fan residence by Lu Qingxue early in the morning.

She happened to be visiting a shop nearby, and when she saw that Lu Qingxue, who was pregnant, had asked her to come along, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

When you have nothing to do, eating some melon seeds is a good idea.

However, I didn't expect to encounter such a scene as soon as I arrived.

"Your Highness, Cui Ying'er has actually moved into Miss Lu's room?"

Chenxiang stared wide-eyed, not daring to speak loudly, but quietly glancing at his queen.

Song Ruozhen turned her head, and the two of them stared at each other, guessing that the Fan family must be in a mess, but they did not expect to encounter such a shocking scene as soon as they arrived today.

She turned to look at Lu Qingxue, only to see Lu Qingxue with a cold face, indifferently watching everything in front of her.

Contrary to expectations of excitement and anger, she appeared quite calm, even somewhat self-deprecating.

Seemingly sensing Song Ruozhen's worry, Lu Qingxue forced a smile and said:

"Don't worry about me, I've accepted it now."

When I first found out, it was indeed hard to accept. I couldn't believe that the man who was so attentive and considerate to me every day would have another woman outside, and that he had kept it from me so well.

He knew I felt guilty about not getting pregnant, yet he kept comforting me, saying it didn't matter, but in reality, he had already found someone else to have his child.

"It was only after experiencing this that I realized that many things that seem calm on the surface are actually already rotten."

Fan Huarong also saw Lu Qingxue at this moment, and his eyes were immediately filled with tension.
