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

When Lu Changting saw Shuangxi's face, she knew something was wrong. At that moment, she didn't even have the courage to ask.

Lu Changting wanted to know the truth, "Who is he with?"

Shuangxi wiped away tears and said, "With...with Xu Jishi."

Lu Changting breathed a sigh of relief, but then became furious again. She glared at Shuangxi fiercely, "Since you are with Xu Jishi, why are you acting like this? Are you thinking the sky is falling?"

Shuangxi wanted to say that this was more terrifying than the sky falling.

"Yes, in the east wing!" Shuangxi pointed back.

Lu Changting walked out, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, after all, Xu Chen was there, so she said, "Go and ask the son-in-law to go back to his room."

Shuangxi shook her head and said in a tearful voice, "Miss, you'd better not go. I'll take care of you until you go to sleep!"

How could she sleep alone on her wedding night? If she didn't consummate the marriage, wouldn't she become a laughing stock in the whole city tomorrow?

"Just go when I tell you to!" Lu Changting was running out of patience.

Shuangxi couldn't tell the truth, "My uncle...you should go and see him yourself!"

Lu Changting didn't understand what was going on, but when she came out of the main room and saw two intertwined figures reflected on the window paper of the east wing, she suddenly felt as if she was in an ice cave and asked, "What's going on? Who are they?"

Shuangxi supported her, and Lu Changting stumbled forward. When they reached the door, the two figures overlapped. Inside the room, Xu Chen gasped, "She's here!"

Guo Xiao smiled and said, "It's good that you're here, and it's even better that you've seen it! Ah Chen, isn't this what you want?"

Two figures were clearly reflected on the window paper, like a pair of mandarin ducks embracing each other, their lips intertwined, and they were entangled with each other. One of them raised his head slightly towards her, as if looking at her.

Lu Changting was on the verge of collapse, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.

In the Osmanthus Courtyard, Dou Jinzhao changed her clothes. This time, Qiu Shui accompanied her out. "There's news from Feng Ye Tinghai, saying that he's still waiting for the master at the old place. Master Jing Lan asked if the master wants to drink this time."

Dou Jinzhao touched her waist habitually. She was really uncomfortable without the Rouge Sword. She greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the royal Ling family for the hundred and eightyth time in her heart and said unhappily, "He is mocking me. Can't you hear it?"

Dou Jinzhao couldn't hold her liquor well, but she was good at drinking. She only dared to drink two sips in front of Ling Jinglan.

When the master was alive, she was still young and didn't dare to drink. When she grew up and could drink, the master was gone.

In this world, the only person she can trust is Ling Jinglan.

As soon as Dou Jinzhao left, Lu Changyuan came in. Luoxia was so scared when she saw him coming in that her legs trembled. She had no choice but to step forward to stop him, "Duke, my master has gone to bed, please stay!"

Lu Changyuan thought there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at the dark side room and the light on in the main room, and said unhappily, "Did she not let me in?"

Luoxia thought to herself, is there anyone in this world more shameless than this person?

Luoxia lowered her head and agreed.

Lu Changyuan took a breath and pushed Luoxia away and rushed in. Unexpectedly, Luoxia was like a tumbler, her upper body swayed but her lower body was as steady as a rock and did not move at all.

When Luoxia saw that the secret was exposed, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Changyuan was also greatly surprised. He attacked Luoxia without hesitation. Luoxia could only defend herself. Each of her moves was extremely exquisite, which made Lu Changyuan more and more suspicious of Dou Jinzhao.

Before they knew it, the two had exchanged greetings more than ten times, but there was still no movement from the inner room.

Lu Changyuan stabbed towards Luoxia's eyes with his left hand. It was a feint. Luoxia was fooled. The acupoints on her shoulders were controlled by Lu Changyuan. She could not move her body and could only watch herself fall into Lu Changyuan's hands.

"Tell me, where did your master go?" Lu Changyuan no longer dared to treat Luoxia as an ordinary maid of Dou Jinzhao.

"The master is sleeping in the inner room!" Luoxia said, "It's late at night, please go back and rest early, Duke!"

Ling Jinglan's courtyard was not far from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, just across a street. It was still the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Curtains were drawn around it to keep the night wind out, and candles were lit inside, making it as bright as day.

There were still side dishes on the table, but this time there was no wine. There was only fragrant and delicious millet porridge, some exquisite snacks, and a pot of Lu'an Guapian.

Ling Jinglan poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, "It's late at night, drink some Lu'an tea so you can sleep well."

Dou Jinzhao took a sip and said, "I met King Zhuang today."

Ling Jinglan was pouring tea for himself. When he heard this, his hands trembled and the tea spilled outside. Dou Jinzhao saw it out of the corner of his eye and looked up at him suddenly, "Your hands are shaking?"

Isn't it funny that a sword expert would have shaking hands?

"Prince Zhuang? Ling Qingchen?" Ling Jinglan asked in a flat tone, without any ups and downs. "What's the matter?"

Dou Jinzhao felt that he might have overthought, so he retracted his divergent thoughts and asked, "Did you tell him the news I gave you?"

"Are you referring to the fact that the Queen might arrange a marriage for him with the cousin from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?" Ling Jinglan thought for a moment, thought of the possible reason why Dou Jinzhao might have come, and said "hmm".

"As expected, you will not let go of any opportunity to make money easily. No matter how much silver he gave you, you have to give half to me!" Dou Jinzhao stretched out his hand to him in the spirit of plucking feathers from passing geese.

In the candlelight, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, as beautiful as smoke and a painting. Her white and tender little hands were suspended in front of his eyes, as bright as jade, with clear texture, pink fingertips, and visible alluring warmth.

Ling Jinglan's fingers on his knees moved uncontrollably. He turned his face away and said, "Are you so poor? Don't forget that you have to pay me double the money sooner or later."

"Don't you believe the news you helped me find out even if I don't listen to it?" Dou Jinzhao asked her to find out the news about the Xie family.

Ling Jinglan shook his head helplessly, his black eyes like the deep blue sea under the night sky, hiding boundless doting, "I didn't take the money from King Zhuang."

"Ah?" Dou Jinzhao did not hide his surprise. "You and he are really brothers? You are not twins, are you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Ling Jinglan was upset by her constant startling and said unhappily.

Dou Jinzhao's eyes curved, and they were like crescent moons, full of smiles. "Really, you and he really look alike. Why don't you take off your mask and let me see? Maybe you two are really brothers. Otherwise, how could you be so stingy and mean to send him the news for free!"

Ling Jinglan reached out to touch the peach blossom mask on her face, but Dou Jinzhao leaned back to avoid him.

Ling Jinglan withdrew his hand, and she no longer insisted on looking at Ling Jinglan's face.

"I made a deal with him and asked him to speak for you in front of Emperor Yongjia. The report on the Xiaomatan Horse Farm was submitted to the palace this morning. The emperor will definitely ask about this matter at the court tomorrow morning at the latest."

Ling Jinglan looked into her motionless eyes and said, "This is the opportunity you've been waiting for, right?"

You are the only one in the world who can give me the chance to cure horse plague and exchange it for the imperial decree of divorce.

Qiu Shui walked quickly into the pavilion in the middle of the lake and interrupted the two people, "Master, Duke Dingguo broke into the Osmanthus Courtyard, and Luoxia fell into his hands."

Dou Jinzhao stood up suddenly.
