If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Lu Yuan knew that there were rumors about his background in the capital recently, so he asked the pacification officer to find out who spread them.

It was just discovered that it was Mr. Lu who had someone write the script, and had the storyteller in the teahouse frame him in an attempt to force him to leave the Duke's Mansion.

"Commander, do you want to close the theater?" Zheng Wuqing asked.

"No need, just let them go." Lu Yuan waved his hand indifferently.

If He Zhiyuan knew that he leaked the news to Lu Heng, and the result was only such a stupid behavior from Mr. Lu, he would probably be very angry.

"Commander!" Guan Jin strode into the Pacification Office with a strange look on his face.

"We just heard something on the street. Madam Lu kicked you and your sister-in-law out of the Duke's Mansion."

"I went to the Duke's Mansion to take a look, and it seemed... to be true."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

And such good things?

"Sir, why don't you go back and take a look first?" Zheng Wuqing reminded, "Don't let anyone bully your sister-in-law."

Lu Yuan thought of Shen Suian and immediately put down the file in his hand.

As soon as he left the Zhenfu Division, he met Shi Qing who came looking for him.

"Master, the young mistress has moved to the new house in Qilin Lane. I am here to tell you not to go back to the wrong place tonight."

Lu Yuan's eyes were cold, "Has the young lady been bullied?"

Shi Qing grinned, "No, the old lady went to Danbo Courtyard to chase them away, and the young mistress immediately agreed. The boxes and crates were packed long ago."

"Tell the young lady not to work too hard. I'll be back later." Lu Yuan ordered.

He guessed that Duke Lu was definitely not at home when the old lady drove Shen Suian away.

Since he and Shen Suian have moved out, it would be better for Fu Jinyi not to live in the Duke's Mansion.

However, before he went to pick up Fu Jinyi, Duke Lu came to the Zhenfu Division to look for him.

"Today it was your grandmother who believed the rumors and went to take your wife back to the Duke's Mansion. Don't hold it against your grandmother." Duke Lu said in a deep voice.

He had sent people to inquire where Shen Sui'an was staying. He originally thought that she had returned to her mother's home, but there was no movement from the Shen family.

Lu Yuan looked at Lord Lu with deep eyes, "Grandfather, I am not of the Lu family's bloodline, so it is not appropriate for me to go back."

"Who dares to question your identity!" Duke Lu's eyes widened, "If I say it's you, then you are it."

"Grandfather, please don't let disharmony in the family happen because of me." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Duke Lu looked at Lu Yuan's face, which was as calm and indifferent as ever, and he already understood in his heart.

"You've been looking forward to this day."

"Even if your background didn't matter, you would have wanted to move out of the Duke's Mansion."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

"I should have seen that your heart has never been in the Duke's Mansion." Duke Lu sneered, and became even more angry.

In the past two years, he has been partial to Lu Yuan in every way and has spoken well of him in front of other colleagues, just to make up for his previous coldness towards him.

In the end, Lu Yuan didn't appreciate it, because his stupid son was right about one thing.

Lu Yuan is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

"Do you know that your departure will announce to the world that you are not of the Duke's bloodline? You will be alone from now on, without the support of your family."

"Although the Duke's Mansion is not as good as before, it still has accumulated connections. This is invisible, but it can benefit you for a lifetime."

"Lu Yuan, I don't mind your background. As long as you call me grandfather, you are the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion."

"I'm not alone." Lu Yuan whispered.

He also defends his wife in every way.

"You mean Shen?" Duke Lu sneered, "She is the most powerful and savvy. She knows that you have no relationship with the Duke's Mansion, so she will definitely find a way to sever ties with you."

"She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and her stepmother is also a profit-seeking businessman. How could she be interested in an orphan like you?"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, "She is not the person she said she was."

"When she broke off the engagement with Heng'er, I already saw through her character." Duke Lu said.

"My Lord, you don't think Lu Heng is fickle, but you think that a woman who was let down by her fiancé is wrong?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "She is indeed wrong. If she swallows her anger and hires Song as Lu Heng's concubine, she will be the best daughter-in-law in your eyes."

Duke Lu frowned tightly.

"The Duke's Mansion declined so quickly. The Duke should ask Lu Heng what his beloved mistress did." Lu Yuan had a blank expression.

We can't continue the conversation.

Duke Lu left in a huff, and threatened Lu Yuan, "Sooner or later you will beg to come back to the Duke's Mansion."

……

……

The noise made by Shen Sui'an coming out of the Duke's Mansion was so loud that it naturally spread to the Shen family.

Old Madam Shen was so anxious that she wanted to go in person to support her granddaughter.

Old Master Shen was calmer and more steady than her. "We can't show up at this time. Let Jiang and the second son's wife go."

We still don't know what the truth is. If he and the old lady show up, the situation will be hard to control.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Shen both persuaded the old lady, "Yes, you are old, and Sui Sui's family must be in chaos now. If you go, Sui Sui will be more worried."

Madam Shen then gave up and told Jiang, "No matter what, Sui Sui must not be wronged."

Jiang immediately called over twenty nimble servants from her home and went to the house in Qilin Lane together.

"It doesn't matter where a hero comes from. Lu Yuan's success today is not due to the influence of the Duke's Mansion. The old master asked me to tell you, as long as you and Lu Yuan live a good life, any status will be important." Jiang said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an pursed his lips and smiled, "I know."

She had long been looking forward to moving out of the Duke's Mansion.

In this way, she can completely break away from the dark and bitter past, and she no longer has to think about the suffering she had endured in the Lu family.

Although a large part of the reason was her own fault, she did not have the courage to break up in her previous life.

"Is Lu Yuan back?" asked Jiang.

"Not yet, but I sent someone to talk to him, and he should know about it." Shen Sui'an said.

Jiang walked around the house and said, "It's still too small. I have a house with five courtyards. I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow and give it to you."

Shen Sui'an said quickly, "Mother, this three-story house is enough. There are only two of us, Lu Yuan and I, and we don't need many people to serve us."

"When you have children, the population will increase and there won't be enough accommodation." Jiang insisted.

"Don't worry, I don't have anything else, but I have enough money."

Shen Suian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sui Sui, Lu Yuan is really not a member of the Lu family, then does he know who his biological parents are?" Jiang asked curiously in a low voice.

"..." Shen Suian was slightly stunned.

"We are also asking around. Tell mother when we have any news." The news that Lu Yuan is the prince of the Southern Dynasty cannot be revealed yet.

Jiang said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. You can come back to the Shen family often in the future. We are also a family."

Shen Sui'an felt warm in his heart, "Oh, I know."

"I will visit my grandparents in two days. Please comfort them and tell them not to worry about me. Moving out of the Duke's Mansion is actually a good thing."

Jiang: "I think it's a good thing too."
