May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Wen Yuanshu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "You... found out so quickly?"

Lu Chengyuan looked up at her: "Your father sent someone over to tell me this afternoon."

Such a big matter cannot be delayed.

Wen Yuanshu pursed her lips.

“Yuan Shu,” Lu Chengyuan called out to her, “go and get a divorce from him. I’ll investigate this matter.”

"The war has been over for several years now. If they really had spies, they would have already established themselves in the capital and become indistinguishable from the citizens of Da Zhao. How can you investigate?"

“Any action will inevitably leave a flaw,” Lu Chengyuan said.

It just takes a little effort.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but sigh: "There's no need to go to such lengths."

Using her as bait is the simplest and most convenient method.

"Wen Yuanshu, you—" Lu Chengyuan pressed his temples, "What do you mean by 'going the long way around'? How can such an important matter be placed entirely on your shoulders!"

“I am also a member of the Wen family,” Wen Yuanshu said, her eyelashes lowered. “If they want revenge, our Wen family will be the first to suffer, so… I am only doing this for the Wen family.”

"Besides, my father and mother have both agreed."

After a long while, a long sigh came from inside the room: "Fine, then I'll put a few people here with you."

“No need,” Wen Yuanshu said. “Yunzhi has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is my sister-in-law’s dowry maid. It’s enough with her here.”

“…Alright then,” Lu Chengyuan said. “Since you’ve already sensed something, you’re going to divorce me, right?”

Wen Yuanshu hummed in agreement, then gave him a strange look: "What does it have to do with you whether I get a divorce or not?"

Lu Chengyuan avoided answering her question: "Have you thought about what you'll do after the divorce?"

Wen Yuanshu was slightly taken aback: "...No."

She thought for a moment, then said jokingly, "What if I don't live to see that day?"

In this second life, she was able to avenge the blood feud of the General's Mansion, which was already her wish fulfilled.

The words had barely left her lips when someone lightly tapped her forehead: "Don't say such unlucky things!"

Lu Chengyuan's tone was unusually serious.

"……understood."

"With me here, you should be thinking about what you're going to do after the divorce." Lu Chengyuan glanced at him. "If I can't even protect you, I'll go home and farm!"

Meanwhile, Pei Zhicheng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He simply couldn't understand how the Marquis's mansion could decline so quickly after Wen Yuanshu's death.

Their carefree days didn't last long before the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, who had just returned to the capital after several years away, ransacked their home, and the entire family was executed...

He was even more confused as to how he had returned to the present the moment he opened his eyes.

Pei Zhicheng's gaze was deep and intense.

Never mind, since God has given him a second chance at life, he must make the most of it and enjoy this immense wealth and glory once again. This time, he will be even happier than in his previous life!

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Zhicheng finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by his page and took a carriage to the Snow Lodge.

On the way, the pageboy yawned incessantly: "Young master, why don't you rest at home for a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry to go to school!"

Pei Zhicheng frowned: "What's so good about staying at home? What we should be doing right now is studying hard!"

Only by studying hard now can I escape Wen Yuanshu's control sooner!

In this life, he will never marry that so-called Duke's daughter again; he must marry the woman he loves!

The pageboy looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, then lowered his head and muttered something under his breath.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and the page stretched and got off.

His lazy demeanor made Pei Zhicheng frown.

Why would Wen Yuanshu assign herself such a page?

The master and servant entered the Snow Lodge, but were stopped after only a few steps.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Pei? Why didn't you bring your gang of followers with you today?"

"This young master Pei has been confined to the palace for over a month. Who would want to associate with him now? He's universally disliked!"

The opposing side had a large and powerful force, and they were very arrogant.

Pei Zhicheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Get out of the way!"
