Liu Yueru raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhu's face lightly. She had no intention of paying attention to her difficulties.

She has more important things to do.

When Zhu saw this, she thought Liu Yueru was feeling inferior, so she didn't dare to talk to her.

With a puzzled smile on his face, he waved in the direction of Liu Yueru and asked, "Madam Liu, where are you going in such a hurry? Since you're divorced, you should hang out among us women. Who knows, there might be a good man in one of their families who is suitable to be a husband to help you two find a backer. You don't have to be aimless like a homeless stray dog ​​like you are now."

After hearing the last part, Liu Yueru paused in her tracks and turned back to look at Zhu with a cold gaze. "Madam Zhu? You are still so unforgiving after not seeing me for so long. Should women be oppressed and humiliated by men for the rest of their lives? The emperor personally ordered my divorce. The reasons in the divorce letter are not my fault, and the reward the emperor gave me is enough for me to live a worry-free life for several lifetimes."

"As long as you don't have to serve your mother-in-law, and don't have to endure the harassment of your husband's three wives and four concubines, and the harassment of those beautiful women outside, and don't have to worry about life, it's so free, there's nothing wrong with it. Why do you have to marry again?"

Every word Liu Yueru said was simply a reminder to Zhu that she had to endure the oppression of her mother-in-law, the anger of her husband's other women outside, and yet she had to pretend to be magnanimous and indifferent.

Liu Yueru glanced at Zhu and sneered, "Madam Zhu, if you have time to worry about other people's well-being, you might as well spend some time taking care of yourself."

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhu and saw that her skin was rough and her complexion was yellow, which looked very ugly. Even makeup could not conceal the dull complexion on her face.

Although the dress was clean, it was a style from a long time ago. It was obvious that this dress was her best one. Moreover, it was obviously a little small and did not fit her.

If you don't look closely, no one would notice her dress.

On the other hand, Liu Yueru was wearing a dress of the latest style made of soft silk, which made her look dignified and elegant. She did not look depressed after the divorce at all, but instead had a lazy and comfortable temperament.

Zhu felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. When she met Liu Yueru, her face was very ugly. She pointed at Liu Yueru and said, "If you couldn't control the prince, how could he do such things outside? Don't you have done anything wrong?"

"Madam Zhu, have you made a mistake? Today is the wedding day of the Crown Prince and Princess Anlan. What do you want to express by talking about those meaningless things in the past?" Liu Yueru asked back in a very calm voice.

Liu Yueru's words left Zhu speechless for a moment as she stood in the crowd.

Everyone knew that all she wanted was to see Liu Yueru make a fool of herself.

But Liu Yueru stood up straight, her face calm, her eyes firm and clear as she looked at everyone and asked, "We are all women in the harem, and we all know how difficult it is for women. Since no one likes this kind of life, no one wants to be the one who is divorced or divorced. If life is not really difficult, who would want to be like this?"

"We are of the same roots, why are we so eager to hurt each other? Madam Zhu, please be polite and give others a way out. Don't rub salt into others' wounds."

Liu Yueru finally raised her eyes, scanned everyone, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "I, Liu Yueru, just divorced someone who was not suitable for me. I didn't do anything unforgivable. Now the forces in the northern border are rampant and the people are short of food. These are what we should care about. The safety of Jingdu can ensure everyone's living and working in peace. Those soldiers have been training day and night for a long time. What have you done for Jingdu except eating and drinking, and tearing other people's wounds again and again?"

Liu Yueru's words made the faces of those noble ladies turn red and white.

"Pa pa pa!" Suddenly, sounds of applause rang out in the crowd.

Xie Jingrui looked in the direction of Liu Yueru with burning eyes.

The men following Xie Jingrui also applauded in appreciation.

"I didn't expect Miss Liu to have such sentiments. She is worthy of being a daughter of the Liu family." Xie Jingrui walked towards Liu Yueru and praised her generously.

Liu Yueru's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

After saying that, Liu Yueru turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Madam Liu, you are familiar with the Marquis' Mansion. I heard that the Marquis' Mansion has planted a lot of flowers in the back garden. Would you like to take us for a walk?"

Liu Yueru's eyes swept across Xie Jingrui's face.

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly at Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru understood and agreed to everyone's request.

The group strolled slowly in the Marquis' Mansion. Liu Yueru walked in front, looking at everything here that was familiar yet unfamiliar, and every bit of it showed what other women liked.

The blue snow flowers that she used to love had all been uprooted and replaced with thorny roses, which were now blooming in their brightest colors.

It is indeed pleasing to the eye, much more colorful than those I grow myself.

The small fish pond in the back garden has also been filled in, and is now planted with a large area of ​​flowers.

Unconsciously, Liu Yueru's footsteps suddenly stopped outside a courtyard.

The courtyard gate was locked. Liu Yueru looked up and saw that it was Nanxi Hall where Old Madam Song used to live.

Liu Yueru stood at the door for a long time, then raised her hand and gently pushed the door open.

There was just a terrible stench coming from inside.

"What's that smell? Why is it so smelly?" Some people in the crowd asked with disgust, covering their noses with handkerchiefs.

"Did any cats or dogs die in there?" someone's wife explained in confusion.

Someone suggested, "Let's go in and take a look. If there are really any cats or dogs dead in there, we can have someone clean it up in time. It smells really bad."

More people followed and walked towards Nanxi Hall.

But the courtyard was empty and felt gloomy. Those ladies, who usually lived a life of luxury, searched the courtyard but found nothing.

One of them was brave enough to push the door open towards Nan Xitang's room.

"Ah!" The man exclaimed in shock at the situation in front of him and fainted from fright.

The rest of the people followed and went forward to check.

"Ugh!" The ladies covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and couldn't help vomiting.

In the yard, someone looked towards the well.

"Ghost, ghost!" Liu Yueru only heard their frightened voices echoing in the yard.

The ladies who were originally joining in the fun in the courtyard were running out, tumbling and crawling.

At this time, Xie Jingrui also came over with Lord Xiang and many male officials. Seeing those ladies who usually acted arrogantly, now frightened and panic-stricken, they looked towards the courtyard worriedly.
