The next day, Mrs. Jiang felt that the divorce could not be delayed, as delays would cause changes, so she asked Jiang Yukang to prepare an apology and go to Lu's residence to withdraw the marriage.

Song Wanqing looked at Mrs. Jiang's politeness, but she was so fanatical. She knew it shouldn't be, but she couldn't help but feel that her aunt was cruel. She couldn't imagine Lu Zhenbao's reaction after hearing such news.

Song Wanqing felt that she should say something for Lu Zhenbao, but she was very clear about her position and identity. Apart from Jiang Yukang being her cousin, she and Lu Zhenbao were two people who had nothing to do with each other.

Song Wanqing walked over to Jiang Yukang who was sitting blankly at the side. After all, she couldn't ignore this matter. "Cousin, do you really want to follow my aunt's advice and go to the Lu Mansion to retire?"

Jiang Yukang's demeanor seemed dazed. He didn't sleep last night, and it took him a while to feel overwhelmed. He said to Song Wanqing, "This is the best choice for me and him."

Song Wanqing didn't understand Jiang Yukang like this, she said: "I don't understand, Sister Lu likes you so much, and you are willing to let your aunt go into the den of thieves alone for her, even disregarding your own safety, but why...why Abandoning this happy marriage made in heaven because of that ridiculous gossip?"

Jiang Yukang's unbearable tears finally dripped down. She clenched her fists and tried her best to restrain herself and said, "Cousin, you won't understand. Face is important to a man. I can't let others say that I am a famous 'Mr. Yu' in the capital." 'There is an unclean and unclean wife!"

The hand reacted faster than the brain, Song Wanqing slapped Jiang Yukang on the face, Song Wanqing bit her lower lip, and said with undisguised anger, "You are too much! "

Song Wanqing trotted away, but a smile appeared on Jiang Yukang's face, and he said to himself, "That's great. You hate me, and Lu Zhenbao will hate me because of it. You can all find happiness."

The busy servants in the living room didn't see what happened just now, but Madam Jiang saw it.Mrs. Jiang walked up to Jiang Yukang and asked, "Yu'er, Wan Qing..."

Jiang Yukang shrugged, even laughing. "Mother, you don't have to worry now, the baby won't marry anyone."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Yukang, whose face was full of tears, and she felt heartbroken. She knew that at this age, Jiang Yukang had experienced and borne too much. She often thought, if there was no such thing, Her daughter will surely be the most beautiful and gentlest maiden in the whole world.And relying on her daughter's appearance and talent, why worry about not being able to find a famous son to propose marriage.Mrs. Jiang gently wiped away tears for Jiang Yukang, hugged Jiang Yukang in her arms, patted Jiang Yukang's back with her hands, and comforted: "Yu'er, they will all be happy, and you will too."

"But Bao'er will never forgive me again..." Jiang Yukang was thinking in her heart, and she realized that the deepest fear in his heart was that he would never see Bao'er again, and Bao'er would hate her for the rest of his life .

Jiang Yukang and Mrs. Jiang sat in the sedan chair, followed by a dozen people carrying boxes, which were full of silk and fine porcelain.Pedestrians on the road looked sideways and chattered about which wealthy family it was.

When they arrived at the gate of the Lu residence, Ding of the Lu family took the gift list from the Jiang family, and led Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yukang in with a smile on his face.

Lu Yuanwai got the news, thinking that the Jiang family is really a good family, not only the elders came to visit Lu Zhenbao in person, but also brought so many gifts, he was happy and walked faster.And because Lu Zhenbao got Ruru's news, he arrived at the lobby one step earlier.

"Aunt Jiang, Brother Yu!" Lu Zhenbao had recovered after a night's rest, and smiled when he saw Jiang Yukang.

Mrs. Jiang coughed slightly, and greeted, "Bao'er, Auntie was very worried when she heard that you were captured by bandits. I'm so glad you came back safely."

"It's all thanks to Brother Yu who came to save me." Lu Zhenbao blushed and glanced at Jiang Yukang, the woman's shyness was noticed by everyone.

Mrs. Jiang froze for a moment, and saw Officer Lu coming out, so she looked at Lu Zhenbao and said, "Master Lu, I...I have something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Yuanwai is a businessman, and his best skill is to observe words and demeanor. Knowing that Mrs. Jiang meant to avoid Lu Zhenbao, he said, "Bao'er, you said all day long that you want to learn how to play the piano from Miss Bai, why don't you hurry up."

Lu Zhenbao stuck out his tongue, took Jiang Yukang's hand, and said, "Brother Yu, come with me."

Jiang Yukang pulled his hand away, and said in a gentle voice, "You go first, and after I finish talking with Uncle Lu, I'll go back and find you."

"Okay." Lu Zhenbao saw that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yukang had serious faces, but she was sensible and didn't force her any further.

Seeing that Lu Zhenbao had left, Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Yukang to take out the divorce letter and handed it to Lu Yuanwai.

Lu Yuanwai didn't know, so when he opened the contents, his hands trembled slightly, and he said in disbelief, "This... Mrs. Jiang... what do you mean?"

Mrs. Jiang was also a little embarrassed, but in order to avoid greater harm in the future, she said: "It is well known that Lu Yuanwai raised money these days, and everyone also knows that Bao'er was taken away by bandits. This marriage will continue. Master Lu, you are a sensible person. You should know how much a woman's reputation affects her husband's family. "

Lu Yuanwai slumped down on the chair. He looked at Mrs. Jiang absent-mindedly. This strange feeling made him understand that Mrs. Jiang seemed to have been waiting for such a day. His Jiang family never regarded them as real in-laws. Everything was just to get life-saving money from him at the beginning, but now that everything is going smoothly for them, how could they accept a merchant as the wife that his official media is marrying.

Lu Yuanwai's voice suddenly became hoarse. "Yukang, you think so too? Just because people's words are scary, you have to draw a line with Bao'er."

Jiang Yukang poked his palm hard with his nails, making his voice appear calm as usual. "Uncle Lu, this is the best choice for both of us. Bao'er is innocent, and you can still find a good marriage for her after she leaves Fuzhou. Our Jiang family knows a lot of people and is willing to help her in this regard." help."

No one knew how painful Jiang Yukang felt when he said such words. Even he himself didn't know how he said it. He comforted himself that only doing so would be the best for Lu Zhenbao. Could it be true? Do you want to live a lifetime with yourself as a fake Phoenix?

Lu Yuanwai couldn't believe his ears. He didn't understand how Jiang Yukang had become like this in just one night.However, he was well aware of their determination to withdraw from the engagement.

Mrs. Jiang sighed slightly in her heart, her face was still clear and indifferent. "Except for Lu Yuan, this gift list is our apology. As for the South Sea pearls that we got married in, I will send them to the residence when they arrive in the capital."

"Okay!" Lu Yuanwai stood up, and said forcefully: "Although our Lu family is not a famous family, we still have a lot of land, so I don't want you to make such an apology! I accept the divorce letter, you can get out!" Lu Yuanwai tore up the gift slip and threw it in front of Mrs. Jiang. The red, ironic scraps of paper flew to the ground profusely and didn't touch Mrs. Jiang at all.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't care about Officer Lu's rude behavior. She just said, "Since this is the case, I won't force it. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other."

"Ahem~~" Seeing them leave, Lu Yuanwai couldn't help coughing violently, and soon felt dizzy in the head, with no strength in his feet, and soon passed out.

The night dew was deep, and Lu Zhenbao was still guarding Lu Yuanwai's bed with a worried expression. She was clutching the divorce letter she had taken from his father. Less than half true.If it wasn't for worrying about Lu Yuanwai's health, Lu Zhenbao would have gone to the Song Mansion to ask about it.

"Cough~" Lu Zhenbao, who was still in a daze, was awakened by Lu Yuanwai's muffled cough, and hurriedly asked, "Father, you're finally awake."

Lu Yuanwai just woke up, still a little weak.In fact, he wasn't completely pissed off by Jiang Yukang this time, but because Lu Zhenbao was arrested first, he was anxious and distressed at the loss of his family property, and Jiang Yukang passed out because of his illness. .

Lu Yuanwai looked at Lu Zhenbao who was full of concern, and felt that his daughter was becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible, so he patted Lu Zhenbao's head, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Baoer, Daddy is much better now."

Only then did Lu Zhenbao feel relieved, she really wanted to ask Lu Yuanwai what was going on with the divorce letter in his hand, but seeing Lu Yuanwai still looked weak, she suppressed the question.He just said, "Father, the doctor has come to see you just now, and he said that you are only suffering from a sudden rage, as long as you rest for a few days, you will be fine."

"En." Lu Yuanwai responded softly, but noticed the divorce letter in Lu Zhenbao's hand out of the corner of his eyes, his face froze slightly, and he said with some pity: "Bao'er, you have to remember, no matter what you do It is the treasure that father cherishes most."

Lu Zhenbao nodded aggrievedly, and was very moved in his heart: "Father, my daughter understands. You can sleep a little longer."

Lu Yuanwai was indeed very tired. Although he still had a lot to say to Lu Zhenbao, in the end his eyelids became heavier and he fell asleep again.

Lu Zhenbao carefully tucked in the quilt for Lu Yuan, sat back on the bench and leaned against the bed post to take a rest.Everything that happened in the past two days was like a dream to Lu Zhenbao, forcing her to mature.

The autumn wind was rustling outside the house, and the candlelight was flickering inside, shining on Lu Zhenbao's petite face flickering, making her appear illusory.Lu Zhenbao shrank slightly, as if he had caught a cold.
