Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

"Jin Zhao, the Queen was very angry when she learned about your background. But you are my wife, and we have known each other since childhood. When we got married, I also thought about our married life.

Now that I think about it, a lot of things have changed since I met Miao Jin. She is different from you, and different from all the women living in the backyard. I have never seen such liveliness in other women besides her. "

Dou Jinzhao sneered in his heart, "Lu Changyuan, this is a good thing. Tomorrow is the day you and Dou Miaojin get married. It is something that everyone likes to see lovers finally get married. In the northern border, with the previous arrangement of King Zhuang, I think there will be no problem for a while. Tomorrow night, you and Dou Miaojin should be able to enjoy a good wedding night.

I congratulate you in advance!"

Lu Changyuan's eyes fell dimly on Dou Jinzhao's face. He expected to see Dou Jinzhao sad, but she was exceptionally strong.

The more this happened, the more Lu Changyuan couldn't bear it. He suspected that Dou Jinzhao was just putting on a forced smile.

"Jin Zhao, in three months, I may need you to get sick, and then you can move to the side hospital. This way, it will be better for everyone. I have no choice, the reputation of the Duke's Mansion cannot be damaged."

After he finished speaking, he was still looking at Dou Jinzhao, and a thought came to his mind: what should he do if Dou Jinzhao cried and begged him?

She was so bright, the orange light shining on her face made her look like a blooming night-blooming cereus, with the lingering fragrance of the flower filling the air.

Dou Jinzhao was destined to disappoint him. He smiled and said, "Lu Changyuan, it won't take three months. I will move out soon."

"Whatever you want!" Lu Changyuan waved his sleeves and left.

Talk is broken!

Dou Jinzhao looked through the window at Lu Changyuan's back as he left. He was still so tall and broad. She once felt that he was like an extended mountain ridge, but now she felt that he was not straight enough, and was a little hunched, as if he couldn't stand up straight.

Luoxia felt a little regretful, "Master, what does the Duke mean? Does he still want to keep the Master?"

Qiu Shui poked Luo Xia's forehead in annoyance, "What do you mean by spilled water cannot be collected? Have you heard of this saying? What are you doing here? What's so good about this Duke's Mansion? When we leave here in the future, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, there are so many things we can't do."

Luoxia also became happy and looked forward to the future life. "Master, after we move out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, where will we live? Changliu Villa?"

If it were Changliu Villa, then I would have to live under the name of Yanzhi Sword.

Dou Jinzhao shook his head. "That would be very troublesome. The queen is in poor health. Once Yanzhijian returns, she will be harassed all day and have little freedom. Have you made any progress in asking Yunqing to investigate Mrs. Xie?"

Luoxia shook her head. "Temple Master Yunqing said that Madam Xie did not die of illness, but disappeared. After she disappeared, the two servants around her also disappeared. Few people have seen them. We only heard that they came from Southern Chen, but we don't know their specific identities."

"Nan Chen?"

When Dou Jinzhao was thinking, her fingers would unconsciously twirl the hem of her skirt. "Seventeen years ago, what happened in the Southern Chen Dynasty? I remember that there was a Xie family in the Southern Chen Dynasty, a family of military generals, full of loyal and brave people.

Empress Xie Yunni, the first wife of Emperor Xiao Shengyuan of the Southern Chen Dynasty, was the eldest daughter of the Xie family. After Xiao Shengyuan became emperor, he was afraid of the powerful military force of the Xie family and executed all the members of the Xie family.

Empress Xie rebelled and killed seventeen generals of the Southern Chen along the way. Later, she died by Xiao Shengyuan's arrow by the Cangwu River.

Luoxia was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, "Master, are you asking Yunqing to investigate in this direction?"

Dou Jinzhao hummed, disapprovingly, "It shouldn't be the case. The Xie family was surrounded by Xiao Shengyuan's men at night. I heard that no one was left alive, so there's no way anyone would have escaped. Let him investigate!"

"Yes!"

Luoxia was about to leave, but Dou Jinzhao stopped her again, "Let Yunqing find the house where Madam Xie lived, buy it, renovate it, and we'll move in later."

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, she always had to have an identity, and it made no difference to her whether her surname was Dou or Xie. She had no sense of belonging to the Dou family, and even less to the Xie family. The surname that she had left in her infancy had left no trace in her life.

As for why I moved to Xie’s house, it was just a matter of following the facts.

In the final analysis, she has only one identity, Changliu Rouge Sword.

On the wedding day, the house was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity.

Only the Osmanthus Courtyard was isolated from the festive atmosphere and seemed particularly quiet. Originally located in a remote area in the east, the servants going to the main courtyard did not dare to pass by nearby and deliberately took a detour.

In the Xuancao Hall, all the guests were close relatives. Zhang was standing on the floor reporting to the Madam, "We plan to have a total of 50 tables, which is 30% less than the number of tables arranged for last year's wedding. The guests who were originally thought to be coming only sent gifts this morning. At this rate, they probably don't plan to come.

The day before yesterday, I went to Changfeng Tower and booked 30 tables of first-class food. I paid the deposit, but now it seems like it’s going to be wasted.”

It's a waste, not to mention it, but it sounds bad when others say it.

The lady remained silent.

The eldest aunt of the eldest son, Sun, was a brainless person. She yelled, "I said that they shouldn't have made such a big scene. The marriage granted by the emperor is just to marry a concubine. It will be embarrassing if people spread it out. Who would come to watch the ceremony as a decent lady? Isn't it just slapping yourself in the face?"

Zhang smiled awkwardly, "What should we do with this banquet? We can't afford to cancel it on this day."

The lady was so angry that she said, "Why are you retreating? You're going to give it back later. Are you afraid of wasting it?"

Zhang said "yes" and then said, "Mrs. Quanfu doesn't know who she invited. She is going to go pick up the bride. She said that the bride hasn't arrived yet."

The lady was greatly surprised, "You didn't arrange to invite Madam Quanfu?"

Zhang was also shocked. "The day before yesterday, I said I wanted to invite the wife of Lan Tai Lingshi. She has both parents and a pair of children at home. She has a smooth life. I sent someone with a rich gift to invite her. I originally said that if she agreed, I would go there in person. But she refused outright."

The Madam was disgusted when she heard this, "Why did you invite her? Lantai Lingshi is an old antique. Changyuan's marriage was granted by the emperor. I heard that she often scolds our Duke's Mansion for breaking etiquette in the court. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Zhang has been working so hard these days. Everything is going wrong. She doesn't have enough money. She has torn down the east wall but not the west wall. She has completed the left side and left the right side empty. She was already very impatient. When she heard this, she didn't say anything politely, "Second Aunt, I didn't just rely on this one person. I also entrusted several people. No one came. What can I do?

Besides, the wedding is very urgent. After the three letters and six ceremonies, we have to go to the wedding. There is no time for many etiquettes. I originally planned to ask Jin Zhao to help, but I didn't count on him. Second Aunt knows that my ability is not half as good as Jin Zhao's. "

The implication was that he wished he could just throw this job to Dou Jinzhao right now.
