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

"Is the news true?" Ling Qingchen was very happy when she heard that Dou Jinzhao was getting divorced, but then she heard that he had an affair with her. She was worried that she would be upset by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. She was so concerned that she was confused. After listening to Jiang Lingxue's analysis, she felt that there must be something hidden.

"The news is confirmed. Someone in the mansion personally saw Miss Xie dragging her luggage and dowry from the Duke Dingguo's mansion. The Xie family's house behind the Dou family's old house was bought back by Yun Qing a while ago and renovated. Miss Xie plans to move in."

Jianlu has followed Ling Jinglan for many years and knows that anyone's information can be wrong except Dou Jinzhao.

"What else is being spread outside?" Ling Qingchen was not interested in any other rumors. If possible, he really hoped that he could be tied to Dou Jinzhao, but a bad reputation was too fatal for a woman.

"There's also news that they've been ordered to divorce." Jian Lu carefully looked at his master's face and saw that overall, he was in a good mood, so he felt relieved.

"Since Feng Ye Tinghai spread the news of the divorce by imperial decree, it has been said that Master Jinglan and Dou Jinzhao are not familiar with each other." Ling Qingchen sighed unwillingly.

Jiang Lingxue was a little confused. "Why are you doing this? Maybe she admitted it herself. She has escaped from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. From now on, she has a bright future ahead of her. Is there any need to follow these etiquettes?"

Ling Qingchen also knew Dou Jinzhao very well. Without her tacit consent, no one would have the ability to throw a basin of dirty water on her. Since such rumors suddenly emerged outside, maybe she really intended to fan the flames.

"Her master hopes that she can marry into a good family, take care of her husband and children, and live an ordinary life in the future, instead of wandering around the world, seemingly free and unrestrained, but in fact full of dangers and insecurity."

Jiang Lingxue understood and said in disbelief, "Do you want to marry her as King Zhuang?"

Ling Qingchen found it funny. "Why? Should I let Feng Ye Ting Hai marry Chang Liu Villa, and then be banned by all countries?"

Jiang Lingxue shook his head. "That's not what you said back then. You said Feng Ye Ting Hai was a way out for you. If you can't survive as King Zhuang in the future, you still have the identity of Master Jing Lan."

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned around, and looked at Ling Qingchen, "Are you planning to grab that seat?"

Ling Qingchen hummed, his brows furrowed, but his eyes were firm.

"Why did you change your mind again?" Jiang Lingxue knew that Ling Qingchen was not the kind of person who would change his mind frequently. Once he made a decision, there would be basically no room for maneuver.

What's more, such an important matter concerns Northern Qi and his own life.

"I didn't participate in the fights before because there was nothing to fight about. I can't ignore the people of the world. With foreign enemies surrounding us and civil unrest, the people's lives are already hard enough. There's no need to stir up chaos just because of my ambitions."

"What now? What made you change your mind?" Jiang Lingxue had already guessed the answer.

"I have waited so long for this opportunity, and I don't want to give up." Ling Qingchen's eyes were more serious than ever before. "We will be together in the future. I will protect her and won't let her suffer any grievances."

This can only be achieved by reaching the supreme position.

A plaque was hung in the Xie residence, and all of Xie Jinzhao's dowry was moved in. Some of the servants in the house had worked in Xixiangyuan, and some came from Wenjian Villa. They were all elderly people that Xie Jinzhao was used to working for.

The nanny sent by the Dou family waited at the second gate for a while before being taken to the main house by Qiu Shui. Xie Jinzhao put down the teacup and looked at the nanny with a sharp gaze. The gentleness of the past was replaced by coldness. "What's the matter?"

The nanny didn't dare to look up, as if a butcher's knife was placed on her neck. "To answer the eldest lady's question, the second lady was divorced by the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. They said she eloped with someone, violated social customs, and was not a good wife. The master and the mistress asked the eldest lady to go back."

I thought it would be very difficult to ask Xie Jinzhao to go back, but as soon as the nanny finished speaking, Dou Jinzhao stood up and said, "Then go back!"

Dou Mengshen's health had not yet recovered and he had suffered severe damage. In a short period of time, white hair appeared on his temples. He was already prematurely aged before he was thirty.

When he heard that Xie Jinzhao had returned, he leaned on his crutches and looked towards the door. His wife, Xiao Xue, saw it and felt heartbroken.

As his partner, how could Xiao Xue not understand his husband's thoughts? He once called Xie Jinzhao's name in his dream, and once when he was drunk, he mistook her for Xie Jinzhao.

This was the reason why Xie Jinzhao had a very bad relationship with Xiao Xue before she got married.

In the courtyard, Xie Jinzhao was wearing a rouge red riding habit embroidered with gold crabapple flowers. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail with a ribbon of the same color and thrown high behind her head. On her unmade-up face, her eyebrows were heroic and a sharp light flashed in her black eyes.

Is this his adopted sister?

The face is still the same, but the whole person's temperament is completely different.

An indescribable restrained arrogance and coldness emanated from her body.

It is a very attractive temperament, unforgettable at first sight.

Not only Dou Mengshen was stunned, but Dou Yi, Xue, and the other three brothers of the Dou family were also stunned. Even though she was stared at by so many people with scrutinizing eyes, Xie Jinzhao remained calm and composed. She seemed like a deity who looked down upon the world and was born to enjoy such attention and the gazes of believers.

After finding a random chair and sitting down, Xie Jinzhao looked around, with a burning chill in his beautiful phoenix eyes. He opened his red lips and uttered the most ruthless words, "Why did you call me back?"

Compared to Xie Jinzhao, Dou Miaojin was in a really miserable state. She had a fight with Lu Changting and was divorced by Lu Changyuan. Before she had time to wash up, she was blocked by people from the Dou family, who called Xie Jinzhao back to watch.

"Why can't we call you back? You have lived in the Dou family for sixteen years, eating and drinking at the Dou family's place. If it weren't for the Dou family, how could you have found such a good marriage with the Duke? In the end, how did you repay us?" Xue cried and cursed, accusing Xie Jinzhao of being ungrateful and of being heartless.

After a long time, Xue was so exhausted from cursing that she finally stopped for a while.

Xie Jinzhao's eyes turned colder. "Dou Miaojin also said these words before. I also asked her, was it because my relatives couldn't support me and abandoned me, and the Dou family picked me up?"

Her dark eyes swept lightly, and an invisible pressure was pressed on everyone, "Or, I despise the poor and love the rich, despise the Xie family, and climbed from the cradle of the Xie family to the cradle of the Dou family?

Over the years, I have been treated as an adopted daughter and studied hard day and night in the Dou family. I have been used as a tool for you to form a marriage alliance with the Duke of Dingguo. I cannot spend a single day with my family. Who should I look for revenge?"

Dou Miaojin was in a state of despair and was extremely angry. "Xie Jinzhao, don't be so ungrateful!"
