The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Seeing that neither her nephew nor her mother had any intention of calling Princess Anle over to give her a good scolding, Lu seemed to want to let the matter rest quietly and just cry a few more times, feeling even more sorry for her sister Tao.

She then grabbed her mother's trouser leg and cried, "Mom, Tao Jie'er is only fifteen years old! What will we do after her face is ruined? She hasn't even proposed to be married yet!"

At this point, she just wanted to help Tao Jie'er get married no matter what. Her mother and nephew owed her this, so they should make arrangements for Tao Jie'er.

Only after this matter was settled could she go to visit Tao Jie'er and give her some hope of survival.

She wiped her tears with her sleeves, and when she looked up again, she had already burned her boats and said firmly, "Mother! Let Zhuge'er marry Taojie'er now!"

When Lu Xiuzhu heard this, she shouted, "Aunt!" But she couldn't say no.

Old Madam Lu was also stunned for a while. She was already fed up with Princess Anle at this moment and only regretted getting into this marriage.

But now Tao Jie'er's face was also injured, and her plan became a pipe dream. In the future, when there are social events in the mansion, she can't let a concubine with a scar on her face go out to deal with them, right?

Besides, this matter was too unfair to Zhuge'er. She couldn't help but look at Lu Xiuzhu and said, "Zhuge'er, what does your aunt want? Are you willing?"

She thought that if Lu Xiuzhu disagreed, she could reject her daughter's request by bringing it up openly. But a mother knows her daughter best. Lu knew her mother's plan and immediately felt disappointed. She cried, "Mother! When our family was in financial difficulty, you accepted the Zhang family's betrothal gift of 10,000 taels of silver and married me off to a merchant family. Now, it's hard for Sister Tao to find a good marriage because of her status. Now she's ruined her reputation because of the princess's quarrel with Brother Zhu. She's suffering for Brother Zhu! Even if you don't love me, please love Sister Tao for what I did for our family!"

Madam Lu was furious at these words. She looked at her daughter lying on her lap and said, "My daughter, I agreed to the Zhang family's proposal because I had no other way to survive. Otherwise, how would I, a widow, live with you and Zhu Ge'er? You are blaming your mother like this now, but you are tearing my heart out!"

Lu felt a chill in her heart. She had been abandoned once by her biological mother more than ten years ago, and today she was abandoned by her biological mother again.

I couldn't stop my tears from flowing. I cried for years of grievances, for my daughter's miserable life, and for myself being born as a human being.

But she also knew who her mother's weak spot was in this house.

She immediately turned around and kowtowed to Lu Xiuzhu, begging, "Brother Zhu! Auntie begs you to give Sister Tao a chance to live! Just think of it as an extra pair of chopsticks in your house, ok?!"

Lu Xiuzhu was frightened by her aunt and hurried over to help her up.

Seeing my aunt crying so sadly, I also thought that my cousin had ruined her face because of me. It was just one more person in the mansion. Besides, my cousin had lived with my aunt in the mansion for a few days and helped to manage the affairs of the mansion in order. If my cousin could live in the mansion forever, she could also help my grandmother a lot.

Then he said, "Aunt, please stop crying. I owe this to my cousin, so just let her enter the mansion. As for the princess, I will get her consent."

After hearing this, Lu stopped crying and said, "If that's the case, Zhu Ge'er, you saved Tao Jie'er's life. You are a good child. Auntie will pray for you."

After that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Xiuzhu. Lu Xiuzhu was so panicked that she quickly supported her aunt and said, "Aunt, there is no need to do this. I will treat my cousin well anyway. Although my cousin and I don't have any romantic feelings, we are brothers and sisters."

Only then did Lu feel completely relieved.

When Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Xiuzhu agreed, she had nothing to say.

After comforting Madam Lu and Mrs. Lu, Lu Xiuzhu left Madam Lu's yard and returned to his own yard.

As soon as he entered the room, a teacup flew out from the door and almost hit him on the head. He could only hear the voice of Princess Anle cursing inside.

"A dog will pee when it goes out and then come back following the smell, but he doesn't know how to come back after he goes out. Pei Yi has even come to catch him cheating, but he still doesn't know how to come back! If that's the case, why did he marry me in the first place?!"

As Lu Xiuzhu listened to these words, the irritability that had been blown away by the cool night breeze came back to him.

He walked into the room, glanced at the little maid kneeling on the broken porcelain with bleeding knees, and said, "I don't want to see blood again today. Go kneel in your room and don't let me see you again."

The little maidservant responded "yes" as if she had been pardoned instantly and quickly left the room.

When Princess Anle saw Lu Xiuzhu coming back, she no longer paid attention to the little maid. All her attention was on Lu Xiuzhu. She was a little worried that he had heard what she had just said.

Just as she was about to explain, Lu Xiuzhu stared into her eyes and asked, "Why did I marry the princess? Doesn't the princess really know?" His voice was as cold as a waterfall of ice pouring down on people.

Princess Anle was stunned by the question. Yes, wasn't this the marriage she had hoped for? How did it turn out like this?

Just when she was silent, Lu Xiuzhu said again: "If the princess likes to vent her anger on the little maids, I'm afraid we have to ask the Princess's Mansion to buy a few more maids to send over. My Lu Mansion has limited financial resources, and the few little maids we bought are all here to work, not for the princess to beat and scold for fun. If the princess hurts one person, there will be no one to do that person's job."

Princess Anle wanted to explain that she didn't enjoy beating and scolding the little maid, she was just upset and couldn't control her temper.

But someone didn't know what happened to Lu Xiuzhu today. Maybe it was because he saw blood and finally became a little braver, or maybe it was because before he sent Princess Anle back home in the daytime, she looked at him sadly and asked him, "There is no possibility that you will like me at all, right?", which made him find Princess Anle's weakness.

He seemed to know how to make her suffer and how to resist her, although he still could not resist the Princess's Mansion behind her.

So he continued bluntly: "If the princess continues to smash the household items, I will have to use your dowry to make up for it."

Princess Anle felt a dull pain in her heart after being stabbed by three consecutive ice arrows from Lu Xiuzhu, but before she could react, Lu Xiuzhu said, "Although you scratched my cousin's face, I am the culprit. She has not yet been engaged but her face is disfigured. I have promised my aunt that I will take my cousin into the mansion when she recovers, and she will be in charge of the household affairs."

Zhao Wuyou's heart was finally pierced to pieces by Lu Xiuzhu's chain sword. She even thought she heard the sound of her heart breaking, and the "swish" sound also triggered her scream.

She pointed at Lu Xiuzhu's nose and cursed, "If you want to marry her into your house, divorce me first!"

Unexpectedly, these words hit the mark of Lu Xiuzhu's heart, and he immediately responded, "If the princess is so dissatisfied with me or the Lu family, you can ask your uncle, the emperor, to issue an imperial decree to sentence you and me to divorce."

The two words "divorce" were like a steel needle piercing Zhao Wuyou's uncontrollable brain.

She suddenly came to her senses and realized that Lu Xiuzhu really wanted to divorce her! He really didn't want her to be his wife anymore!

So what is left of her life?

She cried and begged Lu Xiuzhu, "No, Qiongzhi, I won't divorce you. I love you, how could I divorce you? Let's consummate our marriage. I will give you a boy who looks like you and me. Please don't marry anyone else, okay?"

Lu Xiuzhu just looked at Zhao Wuyou's tears indifferently, thinking that she also knew that losing a loved one would hurt and she would cry too...

He suddenly felt much more cheerful.

He said, "Allowing my cousin to enter the mansion is the condition for me not to divorce. Otherwise, I will report what happened in front of Qianyuan Pavilion today to His Majesty for judgment, and ask His Majesty to order a divorce."

Zhao Wuyou immediately shook his head and said, "No, Qiongzhi, I won't divorce you. If you want to take that bitch into the mansion, I agree. I agree to let her enter the mansion, but she will only be a concubine, just a concubine."

She kept saying "I'm just a concubine" as if she had gone crazy.

There was a great commotion in the Earl of Chiayi's mansion, and no one slept well that night.
