After the heavy rain, the sky over the capital was clear. Lou Wanling raised her chin and strode into the main hall with Xiangming.
The pearl powder was only meant to make her look paler, but instead, it gave her an eerie coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
Glancing around at the inquisitive and mocking gazes, Lou Wanling smiled faintly, walked unhurriedly to Xiao Yunxuan, then stopped and looked at him coldly.
Today, he looked even more handsome than yesterday. However, she had already branded a word on his head — beast.
"What's the matter? When you see this prince, you even forget the etiquette." Her pale face gave him an unsettling sense of cold arrogance and oppression.
Thinking carefully about her performance yesterday, Yan Zixuan found that this woman had suddenly changed, becoming someone he didn't recognize.
Mulin curled the corner of her mouth, turned around, took a letter from Xiangming's hand, raised her hand, and threw it in front of Yan Zixuan.
Immediately, there were sounds of gasping from all around.
Even the two women standing behind Yan Zixuan were so scared that they took a step back.
On that yellow envelope, there was clearly written a big character: Divorce.
Anyway, she was going to be divorced. Rather than being divorced by him, it's better to divorce him!
The air around instantly turned icy. Xiao Yunxuan stared dully at the letter of divorce, too shocked to say a word for a long time.
Lou Wanling took a deep breath, staring at him without blinking, ready for his outburst.
However, to Lou Wanling's surprise, Xiao Yunxuan only moved his slender fingers and placed them on the envelope. Instead of getting angry, he laughed softly, but there was a hint of mockery in it.
"A letter of divorce?" He rubbed the rough envelope with his fingertips and looked up at Lou Wanling.
"Yes." Lou Wanling crossed her arms, nodded, and a provocative smile appeared on her face.
"You wrote this letter of divorce?" He asked again, with a suppressed anger in his tone. How dare this woman divorce him!
She nodded again.
"Good!" Xiao Yunxuan also nodded, "Lou Wanling. For the sake of the past, I'll give you a chance! If you don't take back this so-called damned letter of divorce within today, I'll make you live a life worse than death!..."
Stop! Lou Wanling leaned forward, immediately made a stop gesture, interrupted Xiao Yunxuan, then shook her head proudly!
I, the young lady, never take back my decisions!
"You..." His fists were already clenched, but Xiao Yunxuan still tried his best to restrain himself, "I dare to bet with you that within today, you will definitely beg me to return the letter of divorce to you."
Hmph! He's really confident!
Lou Wanling sneered, turned around and winked at Xiangming. Then Xiangming said timidly, "Your Highness, my young lady asks what will happen if you lose?"
"I will never lose. If I lose, all the grudges between me and you, Lou Wanling, will be written off. I won't care about whatever you do. But..." Xiao Yunxuan paused, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, "If you lose, you, Lou Wanling, have to be an obedient maid in the Xuan Prince's Mansion, serving me and several ladies."
What? Serving you? And your ladies? Pah! Lou Wanling made a face of great disdain, turned her head, and strode out of the hall with Xiangming in a chic manner, leaving a group of dumbfounded people and a pervert who was so manic that he was about to spit blood.
Even if someone held a knife to her neck, she wouldn't come back! Serving him? He's dreaming!
"Your Highness..." Jiao'er called out in a low voice, watching Lou Wanling walk away so swaggeringly, feeling very uncomfortable.
"All of you, get out!" The suppressed anger finally erupted. He punched the peach wood tea table beside him heavily, and immediately, the solid table cracked several gaps.
Everyone in the room was so scared that they trembled, bowed their waists and quickly retreated.
Why is it like this? Shouldn't she be the one to get angry, go crazy, and be in pain? Why, from yesterday to now, it's herself who feels painful and irritable, while she is fine.
"Someone! Send someone to follow that damned woman. If she really leaves, you tie her back to me!"
Lou Wanling took a deep breath, quickly dodged the several people following behind with Xiangming, and in a flash, entered a dilapidated restaurant with few people.
"Miss, are we really leaving?" Xiangming asked in a low voice, her hand holding the teacup still trembling slightly.
What else can we do if we don't leave? Stay here to be bullied and humiliated! She now admits that she has a bad fate, and can't die no matter what. But she's not so unlucky as to be a maid for others.
"..." Xiangming's hand trembled again, "Then, what about the poison in you, miss? What about the master and the others?"
Those black-clothed men who kill without blinking an eye seem more terrifying than the Seventh Prince.
"Lou Rao is a imperial concubine after all. I don't believe that someone really dares to touch a single hair of the Lou Mansion. As for my poison, I have my own way." She has a way! But if she has to stay in such a bad place, and serve a group of such bad people, it's better to let her die a quick death. In twenty years, she'll be a good woman again!
"Miss, you forgot that on the day the second young lady was to marry into the palace, she had already sworn to cut off relations with the Lou family."
"What?" The cup in Lou Wanling's hand almost fell to the ground, "She said she cut off relations with the Lou family? How... how is that possible?"
Sigh. Xiangming sighed. It seemed that the young lady really remembered nothing, "The second young lady has always hated everyone in the Lou family. The second madam was originally a famous actress. Later, the opera troupe collapsed, and the master kindly took the second madam into the mansion. Less than eight months after entering the mansion, the second madam gave birth to the second young lady, Lou Rao. Soon after giving birth to her, someone saw the second madam often mixing with an actor from the original opera troupe. Everyone suspected that their relationship was improper. Later, one day, the second madam suddenly drowned herself. The second young lady has always believed that it was the people of the Lou Mansion who wronged her mother and drove her mother to death..."
"I see." Lou Wanling put down her teacup and nodded knowingly.
"There's another problem." As soon as Lou Wanling opened her mouth, she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from outside, with a somewhat familiar smell. Looking up, she really saw a charming figure leaning against the door.
The afternoon sun spread out behind him, plating his red robe with a thin layer of golden light. He took a step forward, and his black hair fluttered gently in the wind, along with his soul-stirring eyes and evil smile.
"Xiangming, come and sit next to me." Lou Wanling covered her lips with her hand and said to Xiangming.
That's a dangerous person.
Seeing Xiangming step back, the beauty in the red robe walked to Lou Wanling's right, raised her hand, sat down, raised his watery eyes, looked at Lou Wanling, and smiled softly, "Sister, I thought you had forgotten me."
Lou Wanling frowned, but there was a hint of amazement in her eyes. Clearly a man, but he was more beautiful and charming than a woman. Between his eyebrows, there was a touch of romance and unrestraint.
Clearly a man, but he loved to wear such a romantic... vulgar bright red. However, on him, it didn't look tacky at all, but added a bit of charm and mystery to him.
