Seeing that Bai Zhi seemed to want to persuade her, Dou Lianyi sighed helplessly and asked softly: "Bai Zhi, do you think I still have feelings for him?"

"My servant knows that the young lady is living a hard life, but once you and the young master make peace with the young lady, will you not be able to find a good family if you want to remarry in the future?"

After Bai Zhi hesitated for a long time, she whispered her worries.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Dou Lianyi smiled lightly, and without any delay in writing, he finished writing He Li in a short while.

She carefully spread the rice paper on the shelf to dry the ink. Looking back, she saw that Bai Zhi still looked worried, so she comforted her and said: "Why, are you still worried that no one will want your lady? I'm afraid that by then I will After the news of Heli spreads, the whole capital will be lined up to pursue me."

Although she knew that the young lady was teasing her to relax, Bai Zhi still couldn't help laughing out loud. She said angrily: "Young lady, you haven't even reconciled yet, and you have already begun to get used to your new identity. Well, if it gets out, people will point fingers at me."

"I'm afraid of what they might do. If they have the ability, they will come to me and tell me. Only those who have no ability will gossip behind my back."

Dou Lianyi said nonchalantly that since she decided to take this step, it meant that she had thought of all the consequences.

The ink on the rice paper gradually dried. Dou Lianyi reached out and folded it carefully, and said calmly to Bai Zhi: "I'm going to hand over the letter of Heli to Lu Shangxuan. No matter how complicated the process is, I don't want this marriage at all."

"Yes, young lady."

Now that the young lady had made up her mind, Bai Zhi had no objection and followed Dou Lianyi to the young master's yard.

"You wait here, I'll just go in and talk to him clearly."

A moment later, a loud noise came from Lu Shangxuan's house, as if something was pushed to the ground and shattered.

Bai Zhi's heart jumped in fright. She originally wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but when she thought of the young lady's instructions to her before going in, she stopped again and paced outside anxiously, rubbing her hands.

The voice inside was not very clear, but a few words could be vaguely heard.

"Do you know what you are going to say... Heli, you are..."

"...I will never allow it!"

"You still want to take away all the dowry? Is there any man in the world who doesn't visit a brothel? I only go there once in a while, so why does it become the reason for you to divorce?"

"Besides, reconciliation is a big deal. I am the prince of the county, and it must be approved by the high court and agreed upon by the clan. You actually want to throw away this letter of reconciliation and want to reconcile with me. Are you crazy?"

After a long time, Bai Zhi heard Dou Lianyi's unquestionable voice: "Gaotang agreed, and the clan has agreed, I will take care of these things. Whether you sign today or not, it has become a fact. There’s no point in procrastinating any longer.”

"Lian Niang, are you really not willing to take into account the relationship between husband and wife?"

"Yes," Dou Lianyi responded categorically: "I once abided by the duty of a wife, and I also had only you in my heart. I thought I had never been sorry for you or the prince's palace in the slightest, but now I I figured it out, since you and I have no affection, why waste each other’s time.”

"How could there be no affection, Lian Niang, you..."

"What I'm saying is that I have no feelings for you anymore."

After the words fell, the entire courtyard fell into silence, and no more sound was heard.

Soon, Bai Zhi saw Dou Lianyi walking out of the yard in a relaxed manner from a distance.

Not only was there no trace of melancholy or sadness on her face, on the contrary, there was a sense of joy between her brows.

It was like breaking free from the shackles that had troubled me for so long and gaining the freedom I wanted to pursue. "Young Madam..."

Before she finished speaking, Dou Lianyi raised a finger to her mouth and laughed softly: "Why are you still calling me young madam? You should call me back as young lady in the future."

"Yes, miss, I will congratulate you in advance on getting what you want."

Bai Zhi finally figured it out. She no longer thought about what would happen in the future. In short, as long as the young lady was happy for now.

However, Lu Shangxuan's face was gloomy at this time. He gritted his teeth and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Lian Niang, Lian Niang, the county prince's palace treats you well. It not only allows you to take charge of the middle court, but also allows you to firmly sit in the position of the head wife. I didn't expect that you still want to make peace with me?
No man in the world can bear this kind of shame and humiliation.

No drug, no husband. Since you are determined to make peace with me, don't blame me for being cruel to you.

Lu Shangxuan clenched his fist hard and slammed it on the mahogany table in front of him.

At this time, his eyes were red with anger, and he looked extremely terrifying. He firmly believed that Dou Lianyi must have the support of Dou Xiang behind him, so she dared to divorce him so boldly.

"Prime Minister's Mansion, okay! Wait until I pull down your good father and see who else can protect you!"

Prince Rui's Mansion.

"You said that Qin Mu is Duan Wujiu? What a joke, how is this possible? A eunuch from the East Factory went to work as a merchant. What, the money in the East Factory is not enough for him?"

Prince Rui leaned back in his chair with a mocking look on his face and muttered to himself: "It's just a rootless thing. How can it need so much silver? It's really ridiculous."

The people below were so angry that they did not dare to say anything, and explained with some stuttering: "Your Majesty, even so, according to the report from the spies, this matter is probably true."

"Nine times out of ten? What I want is 100% accuracy. If I am not sure that he is Duan Wujiu, I will never take action."

Seeing that his men were still stunned, Prince Rui frowned and scolded: "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Go and find out for me!"

"Yes, my lord."

A few days passed peacefully like this. Dou Lianyi originally thought that after giving He Li Shu to Lu Shangxuan, no matter how reluctant he was, he would at least give him an answer openly.

I just didn't expect that Lu Shangxuan would deliberately avoid me. He was obviously in the prince's palace, but he didn't even meet him.

This was how Qin Mu avoided her before, but he didn't expect that even Lu Shangxuan would dare to use this method to deal with her.

In a fit of anger, Dou Lianyi squatted outside the study and was finally caught by her.

"Lu Shangxuan, when will you be able to sign this and Li Shu?"

"What He Lishu?"

Lu Shangxuan looked confused, as if he really didn't know such a thing existed.

"I just wrote the letter of departure and handed it over to you a few days ago. Are you pretending to be stupid with me now?"

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, and her tone became impatient.
