Chapter 318

Logically speaking, Pei Yuxuan was a princess personally appointed by the late emperor. If she was planning to divorce, Xie Wan Ning, the queen, should have asked about it.

But after all, her identity was awkward, so she could only pretend not to know.

However, the princess's divorce was no small matter after all, and news of it still reached her ears intermittently.

For example, not long after the Lantern Festival, Pei Yuxuan returned to the Duke of Pei's Mansion alone.

After Lu Ziyan ascended the throne, the deterrent power of Princess Duanyang's identity had long since fallen sharply. Countless people were afraid of being associated with the Pei family and being purged by the new emperor.

The Zhao family also avoided it.

After four years of marriage, the Zhao family has not been able to give birth to a son or daughter. They have long been dissatisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law. Now that Pei Yuxuan has returned to her parents' home and is asking for a divorce, it is probably just what they want.

She stayed there for nearly half a month, but her husband didn't come to visit her once.

Half a month later, the Zhao family's intentions were clearly seen by not only the Pei family, but even the major families in the capital.

Pei Yuxuan naturally couldn't stand this humiliation, nor could she go back in disgrace.

Even if she was willing, her parents and brothers would not allow their precious daughter to be humiliated in this way.

A few days later, the prince of Peiguo Mansion personally visited the Zhao family and asked for a divorce letter from his sister-in-law.

At the same time, all of Princess Pingning's dowry was counted and brought back.

This marriage, which lasted for more than four years, came to an end.

Fortunately, there are no children, so it’s peaceful.

By the time Xie Wan Ning heard about it, the matter had already been settled.

Recalling the time when a son-in-law was chosen at the Colosseum, all the young men of marriageable age in the capital wanted to marry the eldest princess's daughter.

Who could have expected that such a proud and bright little princess would divorce and return home a few years later.

When the Pei family gained power, the Zhao family tried hard to marry her.

Now that the situation was a little awkward, they couldn't wait to draw a clear line. Xie Wan Ning was filled with regrets, feeling sorry for Pei Yuxuan and annoyed with the Zhao family.

Her status was awkward. She could not issue an edict to openly reprimand the Zhao family, nor could she summon Pei Yuxuan into the palace to appease her. She felt even more suffocated.

When Lu Ziyan came back, he saw her depressed look and couldn't help but say a few words of concern.

Xie Wan Ning was very tired and didn't want to talk at all.

Seeing that she ignored him, Lu Ziyan sat beside her and pulled her into his arms, "Are you tired? There are many things that you don't need to do yourself. You can promote a few more trusted people and let the people below do it..."

"I'm not tired." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xie Wan Ning. She said impatiently, "I'm just very annoyed. Don't bother me."

"..." Lu Ziyan was silent for a moment, lifted her chin, and lowered his eyes to look at her face, "How about we call the imperial physician to take your pulse? I see that your temper has been getting worse these days."

During the first few days after I returned to Beijing, I was extremely nice to him, whether out of guilt or to make up for it.

Later, gradually, that spoiled temper could no longer be hidden.

Until now, I no longer take him seriously.

He gives you a cold shoulder anytime and anywhere.

Lu Ziyan was a little unhappy, and lowered his head to kiss her lips, "Wanwan, please be nice to me, okay!"

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She raised her eyelids and looked at him seriously for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you think highly of Zhao Rui?"

Zhao Rui is Pei Yuxuan's ex-husband. Now, at a young age, he has joined the Ministry of War as a minister, with an official rank of fourth grade.

There is a bright future ahead.

Zhao Rui is a military general and he is not Lu Ziyan's confidant.

Lu Ziyan himself came from a military background, and he had no shortage of generals under his command, and the Khan also had no shortage of military commanders.
