Mother Lu looked aggrieved: "Then she is not a member of our family anymore. Isn't it normal to return the betrothal gifts? What do you think Xinran did? She did it for this family."

Lord Marquis: "Don't say you did it for the family. Didn't you also say you did it for the family? Look at what has happened now. If you hadn't been nosy, that large dowry would belong to our mansion now."

"So what if the General's Mansion is in decline? With so much money, she is still qualified to be the Crown Prince's wife. It was all your good idea."

Madam Hou: "Blame me? You wanted to get in touch with the Prime Minister, but who knew that damn girl would suddenly become smart and decisively propose a divorce."

The Marquis roared, "Do you think someone who grew up in that place in the capital can be stupid enough to be controlled by you?"

Lu Haoran stood up with a gloomy face, obviously still not over the shock of being abandoned: "Enough, what's the point of arguing now."

"While Xu Jinyi hasn't returned to the capital yet, we should find a way to coax her back."

Lu Haoran looked very hurt. After all, he always thought that Xu Jinyi, who was infatuated with him, suddenly treated him with disdain.

Even after he came forward to make peace, she remained unmoved, which made him deeply suspicious.

I doubt whether she really loved him and married him just to keep the money.

"Coax? Why? She is the daughter of a criminal, how can she be worthy? She should be grateful if we want her."

Lu Haoran no longer wanted to argue with his mother, as it would make him feel tired.

"Dad, I'm going out for a while."

"Go."

Xu Jinyi was not at all surprised by Lu Haoran's arrival. She glanced at him and saw excitement in her eyes.

"Liu Su, go and invite Master Lu in."

"It's Miss."

Liusu's steps were as fast as the wind, and there was no sign of her knee being injured.

Seeing how anxious she was, people who didn't know her would think she was going to meet her lover.

Liuli was also confused: "Didn't she say her knee was swollen and painful? Why is she walking so fast?"

Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Liuli, follow them quietly. Don't let her find out. Don't make any noise if you see anything."

Xu Jinyi had already made arrangements. As soon as Lu Haoran arrived, the gatekeeper would automatically go away. After all, she had to give Liusu a chance.

Liuli followed in confusion, but saw a scene that shocked her greatly.

Liusu felt wronged. She was punished to kneel three times. Her knees were red, swollen, and bleeding, and it hurt so much.

Xu Jinyi didn't even call a doctor for her. She was sweating in the summer and her wounds felt like they were sprinkled with salt.

In just two days, Liusu had been tortured to the point of being in unbearable pain. She had never felt life was so torturous.

After all, if someone doesn't like you, then everything you do is wrong.

Liusu has really had enough these past two days.

Now, after finally seeing her lover, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they flowed down.

When he saw Lu Haoran, his whole body fell down.

"Prince, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, Liusu would have been bullied to death."

"Prince, please save Liusu. Please ask the young lady for my indenture contract. Liusu doesn't want to serve the young lady anymore. She wants to stay with the prince."

Lu Haoran quickly pushed her away, looked around, and found that no one was there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have called away all the gatekeepers. Don't worry, my lord. The young lady won't know."

Upon hearing this, Lu Haoran pulled her behind a big tree next to the manor.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to pretend you don't know me when you're outside? Are you trying to ruin my good deeds?"

Liusu cried, "Prince, Liusu misses you. I don't know what happened to the young lady. She has been targeting me these past two days. Look at my knees. If Liusu stays with her, she will not be able to survive."

Liusu pulled up the trouser legs on both sides, revealing her horribly swollen knees.

Lu Haoran took a breath of cold air. He just thought Liusu was making a fuss, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Is this a punishment from her? Why did she punish you? Did she find out something by accident?" The first thing Lu Haoran thought of was not concern and worry about her, but fear that Xu Jinyi's abnormal behavior was because she knew about their relationship.

"Absolutely not. If she found out, how could she spare my life? She is so vicious."

Liusu couldn't help but say a lot of bad things about Xu Jinyi, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but lean towards Lu Haoran.

Lu Haoran frowned: "Why did she become so vicious? Was her previous weakness just an act?"

"Prince, please take me away. I don't want to serve her anymore. Sooner or later, I will be tortured to death by her."

Lu Haoran stroked her waist with his big hand and coaxed her, "Liu Su, be good. You can't do that now. You still need to help me find out some things by her side. After we get her dowry, our future life will be better."

Liuli covered her mouth, her eyes widened as big as copper bells, staring at the shameless couple.

She was so angry that her face turned red, and she wanted to expose them and beat them up.

Watching the two of them kissing passionately under the tree, in broad daylight, the prince's big hand even reached into her tasseled collar.

Liuli's eyes turned red, not because she was angry, but because she felt sorry for Xu Jinyi, and she hated Liusu for daring to betray Xu Jinyi.

Liuli did not disturb them, but walked towards Xu Jinyi's yard with red eyes.

Seeing Xu Jinyi sitting there calmly, as if nothing had happened, Liuli's tears suddenly burst out.

He knelt in front of Xu Jinyi, hugged her waist and cried.

Tong's mother had just brought up a bowl of iced mung bean soup. When she saw this scene, her head started throbbing with pain.

Pointing at Liuli angrily, he said, "Girl, I praised you this morning for being better than that girl Liusu and for having a sense of propriety. What are you doing now? Do you think you can hug a young lady?"

Xu Jinyi also guessed what kind of scene Liuli would probably see, so she waved to Tong's mother.

"Okay, stop crying. I didn't cry, but you started crying. What's there to be sad about?"

"Wow... I just feel sorry for the young lady. You are so kind to us, treating us like sisters and sharing everything with us. How could Liusu do this?"

"It can be anyone, but it can't be Liusu. The young lady is so good to her, how could she betray the young lady and steal her away from the young lady?"

"Miss, you must be so sad. No wonder you would rather divorce than go back. Miss, you are so pitiful."

"Woooo..."

Xu Jinyi looked at her angrily: "Who is pitiful? I was lucky to leave the hell of the Marquis' Mansion cleanly. I was lucky to discover the truth before the wedding night."

"Fortunately, I saw their true colors and was not fooled by them. Otherwise, it would be pitiful."

Liuli was still crying: "But Liusu made you become an abandoned woman at the age of sixteen. Liuli feels sorry for you!"

"With your conditions, young lady, you can find any kind of good man. There are so many people in the capital who want to marry you. You are so good to the prince, how can he let you down?"
