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

In front of the cliff, there are towering cliffs on three sides, and the vegetation on the mountains is lush and verdant.

Li Jianzhang held Lu Wanqing's hand, looked at her lovingly, and shouted loudly towards the cliff: "If we can be a pair of mandarin ducks, why would we refuse to die? I would rather be a mandarin duck than be an immortal."

The sound waves echoed between the mountain walls. I don’t envy the immortals... I don’t envy the immortals... I don’t envy the immortals...

Lu Wanqing blushed and said softly, "But my father doesn't agree with this marriage, and he also drove away the matchmaker your mother hired."

Lu Wanqing said with some sadness: "Maybe we are destined to be together but not to be together..."

Li Jianzhang looked at Lu Wanqing tenderly with eyes full of affection and said, "Wanqing, man proposes, God disposes."

"You want to strive to be promoted to the fourth rank within a year. How is that possible? The government will only promote you to the fifth rank." Lu Wanqing said.

"Wanqing, I will work hard for our future." Li Jianzhang said gently.

"Okay, it's getting late. If you don't go back soon, your grandmother will find out." Li Jianzhang stroked Lu Wanqing's hair and said with understanding.

Lu Wanqing's face flushed slightly, and she said reluctantly, "Then I'm leaving."

Li Jianzhang nodded and watched Lu Wanqing go away.

When Lu Wanqing was halfway there, she looked back at Li Jianzhang reluctantly. She didn't know when they would meet again.

She returned to the wing room along the same route and sat for a while. Then the nanny accompanying her grandmother came and knocked on the door.

"Madam, it's time to set off." Nanny said outside the door.

"Okay." Lu Wanqing replied from inside the house.

Having said that, she opened the door and walked out.

"Mammy, let's go." Lu Wanqing said.

Lu Wanqing followed the nanny into the family carriage and returned to the prime minister's residence with the old lady.

Li Jianzhang's words kept echoing in Lu Wanqing's ears, "Man proposes, God disposes."

After Lu Wanqing returned, she felt that she should also fight for love.

So she started a hunger strike.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt distressed and asked, "Why did Wanqing refuse to eat after she came back from going out?"

The people below also don’t know.

Mrs. Lu hurried to Lu Wanqing's yard. When she saw Lu Wanqing, she asked, "Wanqing, tell me why you are on a hunger strike?"

Lu Wanqing pouted and said, "Father wants to make things difficult for Li Sizheng. If he doesn't let me marry Li Sizheng, I won't eat."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she became anxious. How could she not eat?

If people don't eat, they will suffer from hunger.

When Lu Xiangsan came back from duty, he heard about this matter from his servants.

He snorted coldly, "She is threatening me."

Prime Minister Lu swung his sleeves and said angrily, "Eat it if you want."

He then went to the study to handle official business.

Just like that, for three days in a row, no matter how Mrs. Lu persuaded her, Lu Wanqing refused to eat anything.

This was Lu Wanqing's silent resistance.

Prime Minister Lu got a headache just thinking about this matter. Being a second wife is not that easy, not to mention that there is a concubine's eldest son.

"Husband, just fulfill Wanqing's wish. If she continues to starve, she will die." Mrs. Lu said with concern, wiping her tears.

"What does she know? She's just a child and doesn't understand. Don't you understand either? This Li Jianzhang looks like a deep-minded man." Lu Xiang said.

"But...But Wanqing is completely devoted to him. She hasn't eaten anything for three days. How can her body bear it if she continues like this?" Mrs. Lu said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"She wants to be with him. That's impossible. The Li family is a fire pit. How can I watch Wanqing jump in?!" Lu Xiang said loudly.

The maid hurriedly pulled the curtain and entered the room, "Sir, Madam, the young lady has fainted in the room!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she almost fainted, and she forced herself to walk out.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lu was also extremely anxious and went straight to Lu Wanqing's room.

Inside the room, Lu Wanqing was lying on the couch, her face as pale as paper and her eyelashes tightly closed.

"What's wrong with you, young lady?" asked Prime Minister Lu.

The maid standing next to Lu Wanqing wiped her tears and said, "My lady has not eaten anything in the past three days. She has only been thinking about Li Sizheng."

"She has been telling me lately that Li Sizheng can't just work hard, she has to work hard too."

Lu Xiang sighed, "Silly child."

At this moment, Lu Wanqing opened her eyes with her eyelids trembling slowly, "Dad, why are you here?"

She struggled to sit up.

"I heard that you fainted, so your mother and I came to see you." said Lu Xiang.

Madam Lu was still wiping her tears with a handkerchief beside her. "Why torture yourself like this if you can just tell your parents what you want?"

Lu Wanqing said weakly, "I told my father, but he didn't agree. Not only did he not agree, he also made things difficult for Li Sizheng."

"Dad, I really want to be with Li Sizheng." Lu Wanqing raised her head and said to Lu Xiang.

Prime Minister Lu sighed deeply and said, "It's hard to be a successor, especially since he has a concubine's eldest son. He even had two concubines before. They were definitely not good people."

"You know that this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city. Father is doing this for your own good." Lu Xiang continued.

"Father, do you know? He only has one concubine now, and he doesn't love her at all. Besides, in Da Qi, there are many men with three wives and four concubines. Father, even if I marry the man you like, will he never take concubines in his life?"

"If he lets the concubine and the eldest son go, will you let us be together?" Lu Wanqing asked.

"He has divorced the Second Lady of the Liu Family because of his concubine and the eldest son. How could he possibly dismiss these two people?" Prime Minister Lu said.

"What if he can do it?" Lu Wanqing asked.

"Wanqing, don't be so willful anymore. This Li Sizheng is definitely not a good match for you. There are many talented and handsome men in the capital who are still unmarried. You can ask your mother to find a few for you." Prime Minister Lu said.

"No, I just like Li Sizheng. He blocked the sword for me and almost lost his life. He treated me sincerely, how could I let him down?" Lu Wanqing said.

"That's his duty." said Lu Xiang.

"But if he doesn't block it, no one will say anything, and no one else will know about it," said Lu Wanqing.

Prime Minister Lu was extremely helpless and could only say, "If you can get him to break off all ties with that concubine and send the illegitimate son away, then we can talk about it first."

"Dad, if he does it, will you agree?" Lu Wanqing asked expectantly.

Prime Minister Lu thought that Li Si was unable to do this. He had already divorced the Liu family for his concubine and eldest son, so how could he be willing to give up his delicate concubine now? !

As for sending away the eldest son of a concubine, Li Jianzhang still has a mother above him. This child is the blood of Li family. How could his mother let him send the child away?

In order to save face for both parties, the Li and Liu families did not publicize the domestic violence and house arrest of Li Jianzhang.

Outsiders thought that the second wife of the Liu family divorced because she couldn't stand the fact that she had a illegitimate son before her legitimate son was born, and she felt humiliated and neglected for years.

Lu Xiang was also unaware of this. He thought about the whole situation clearly and then nodded and agreed.
