After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Liu Yuefu was going to meet her mentor, Madam Tao, today, so she got up early, lightly drew her eyebrows, and put on some lipstick.

She had just finished her breakfast and was in a very happy mood when she saw Li Jianzhang walk in.

"Madam, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you today." Li Jianzhang said without raising his head as he stepped over the threshold.

"It's okay, my dear, just go and get busy." Liu Yuefu replied calmly. In fact, Liu Yuefu was even happier when she heard this.

That’s great. I don’t have to eat in front of Li Jianzhang’s face.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianzhang looked up at Liu Yuefu. Liu Yuefu, who had dressed up a little today, looked beautiful and charming. She wore a frosty white gold-woven jacket and a double-layered skirt with a white rabbit and snow plum pattern.

Li Jianzhang was stunned for a moment. He originally planned to say hello to Liu Yuefu and leave.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"Madam, I haven't been with you for a long time. I will come to your place to rest tonight." Li Jianzhang said.

Liu Yuefu felt as if struck by lightning. Yes, she was still the mistress of the Li family.

It is reasonable for Li Jianzhang to spend the night at his wife's house.

How could this be possible? Liu Yuefu's mood suddenly turned bad.

She forced a smile and said, "Then I will wait for you tonight."

Li Jianzhang nodded and walked out.

Liu Yuefu's thoughts were wandering, and she let Chuntao tie a light silver satin embroidered cloak on her, and Hualing also stuffed a hand warmer for her.

This won't work. Even if I want Li Jianzhang to die, I have to divorce him first.

Otherwise, sooner or later, Li Jianzhang will...

Chuntao hugged Liu Yuefu and went out. When the cold wind blew towards them, she came back to her senses.

It's just that she has thought about the divorce, but Li Jianzhang can't stand it and is even less likely to agree to her proposal. What should she do...

Liu Yuefu frowned. It happened that she was going to visit Madam Tao today, so she might as well ask her.

Moreover, I once heard from Madam Tao that one of her students successfully divorced despite the strong opposition from her husband's family.

Liu Yuefu got on the carriage and told the driver, "Sir, go to Madam Tao's house."

"Okay, madam, sit tight." The coachman whipped the horse and it quickly started running.

In West City, ordinary people and merchants live together, and Madam Tao lives in a small courtyard in the alley on the easternmost side of West City.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances, white walls and black tiles, very simple.

Liu Yuefu and Chuntao got out of the car, and Chuntao went forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a maid opened the door and saw Liu Yuefu and her group, so she shouted loudly: "Madam, it's Liu Erniang who is here."

"Please come in quickly." A woman's gentle voice came, revealing a hint of enthusiasm.

"Hey." The maid responded while leading Liu Yuefu and Chuntao inside.

After a while, he opened the curtain and went into the inner room.

A woman in blue with her long hair tied up at an angle was sitting on a chair in front of the desk. She had obviously just stopped writing, and the ink on the rice paper under the jade paperweight was not yet dry.

When she saw Liu Yuefu coming in, she joked, "Liu Erniang still remembers me, her husband."

"No matter who I forget, I will never forget Mr. Tao." Liu Yuefu replied with a smile.

This Madam Tao was the female teacher hired by the Liu family for Liu Yuefu since she was a child. She also taught Kang Miaoqing for four years.

"But do you have something to ask me?" Madam Tao said with a smile.

Liu Yuefu said shyly, "There is indeed something I would like to ask you, sir."

Madam Tao chuckled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Tao, I have a good friend whose husband has kept two mistresses behind her back, one of whom is her cousin. He also attempted to embezzle her dowry. She wants a divorce. However, her husband firmly disagrees. He is greedy for the powerful family background of this woman and her dowry. Sir, what do you think?" Liu Yuefu asked.

"Does she have any children?" asked Mrs. Tao.

"No." Liu Yuefu replied.

Madam Tao pondered for a moment and said, "That may be a little difficult. We can all understand that she wants to divorce, after all, she is in such a situation. But it is difficult for women in this world. Without the consent of her husband's family, she cannot divorce easily."

"Yes." Liu Yuefu nodded in agreement, feeling quite resentful.

"She didn't dare tell her mother, but she came to ask me. I have never been divorced, and I don't know much about this. But I think you, Mr. Tao, are knowledgeable and may have a solution. So I thought of asking you, sir." Liu Yuefu blinked guiltily and continued.

Madam Tao added: "It's not that there is no way at all, it's just that most people can't do it."

"What method?" Liu Yuefu asked anxiously with shining eyes.

"The Imperial Edict. I have a student who was granted marriage by the Imperial Edict. After the marriage, the couple had a bad relationship. Her husband beat her many times, leaving her with bruises all over her body. The last time, she even broke a rib. Her father was a loyal minister of the Emperor, and the Emperor relied on her father's support. When her father saw her being beaten like that, he and her mother, who cried all day at home, risked violating the Emperor's taboo and asked for the Emperor's grace. The Emperor then issued another imperial edict, allowing the two to divorce. This can be regarded as the person who tied the bell must untie it, and her evil relationship ended there." Madam Tao said.

"This... is indeed something that ordinary people cannot do." Liu Yuefu said.

"Yes." Madam Tao sighed, "I just hope that her future will be smooth, so that her parents' efforts will not be in vain."

Liu Yuefu secretly calculated in her heart that her father was not a direct minister of the emperor, the Liu family and the Wang family were in-laws, Liu Yuefu's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, her grandfather held an important position, and the emperor's beloved concubine, Concubine Shu, was her legitimate aunt. The emperor was suspicious of the Wang family, so naturally he could not trust his father wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, how could the Liu family have ended up like this in the previous life, with the entire family being executed?

This road should not be feasible.

Although she could ask her aunt to ask Concubine Shu to seek the grace of divorce from the emperor on her behalf, but in that thrilling palace, it might bring disaster to Concubine Shu and even the Wang family.

The political situation is treacherous. If Li Jianzhang is forced to divorce, he will lose face and may take the opportunity to collude with other forces to harm the Liu and Wang families.

Liu Yuefu pondered over it in her heart, but was interrupted by Mrs. Tao's words, "Yuefu, it's easy to find priceless treasures in this world, but it's hard to find a lover. You don't have to be too sad for her, it's fate. If it really doesn't work, see if you can find something on him, and then ask the elders of your handkerchief tribe to negotiate, and maybe you can get a divorce."

Liu Yuefu's mind moved, and she thought about the feasibility of this idea. Maybe it could really work!

"Thank you very much for your guidance, sir." Liu Yuefu said with a bow.

Madam Tao waved her hands and said apologetically, "Why are you being so polite to me? I can't help your friend in any way. I'm just giving you some advice."

Liu Yuefu and Mrs. Tao chatted for a while before they got up, said goodbye, and went home.
