Chapter 151 The Divorce Decree Finally Arrived
But before, when he was in the study, he seemed to have difficulty hearing what she said. He only saw her mouth moving. He tried hard to listen, but he still couldn't hear clearly.
Lu Jingming quickly accepted this reality and nodded, "Okay, Dad won't ask anymore."
"Dad won't ask you how you know, and I guess you can't tell me either."
"Dad just wants to know who is harming our Lu family. You don't have to tell me directly, just give me a hint."
Su Yujiao stretched out three fingers, and Lu Jing understood clearly that it was indeed the third prince.
"Master, everyone is here." Zhou's voice came from outside the door.
"Go out."
Lu Jingming saw that everyone from the first and second houses were present, and together with the servants and guards of the two houses, there were more than a hundred people in total.
Lu Jingming asked everyone in the mansion to kneel down and kowtow to Su Yujiao, and told them clearly that if Su Yujiao had not been there today, all the hundreds of people in the Lu family would have died.
"Dad and Mom, you should also give Jiaojiao a big gift."
"She saved the lives of the entire mansion."
Although she just bowed to express her gratitude, Mrs. Zhu was still reluctant.
Humph, the Lu family is blessed by God, so why does they need a bitch to pretend to be a good person and show off here?
Today she just got lucky by accident.
"Humph, she's just a junior. Can she accept such a gift from an old man? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
Lu Jingming frowned: "Mom, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"If it were another family, if they met such a good daughter-in-law, they would love and pamper her no matter how much they dote on her."
"Those sensible old ladies would even give their best treasures to their granddaughters-in-law who had made great contributions."
"It is a blessing for our Lu family to have such a lucky star. You are really old and confused."
When Mrs. Zhu saw him calling her old and confused in front of everyone in the mansion, she became so angry that she picked up her cane and started beating him like a shrew.
"You unfilial son, you dare to call me stupid? I will beat you to death."
Lu Jingming looked helpless. He couldn't fight back and could only dodge, but he couldn't avoid being hit a few times.
Alas, it is said that an old person in the family is like a treasure, but my mother is a fool.
He didn't feel it was a treasure, he just felt devastated and helpless.
After all, Mrs. Zhu was old and her legs were not very flexible. She couldn't hit Lu Jingming and had no place to vent her anger.
He changed direction and hit the defenseless Su Yujiao.
It's all because of this bitch who loves to show off, otherwise I wouldn't have lost face today.
"Lucky star, I'm going to hit lucky star."
"I want to see if my Lu family will be in trouble if I chase you away."
Lu Ziqian reacted and rushed forward to protect Su Yujiao: "Grandma, don't go too far!!"
Lu Jingming was also angry. I am becoming more and more unreasonable.
No one expected that she would vent her anger on Su Yujiao.
He just saved the lives of the entire mansion, how could she have the heart to do that?
"Come here, ask the old lady to go back. Without my order, she is not allowed to set foot in the main room."
"Yes."
"Everyone from the second house should go back as well. You are also not allowed to set foot in the first house."
Old Zhu was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Lu Jingming with trembling fingers and called him an unfilial son. She also threatened to go to the emperor to report him for being unfilial.
At this moment, Wei Zhong walked in from the doorway and asked, "What's going on? There's no one at the door to pass on the message?"
Lu Jingming looked at Eunuch Wei who had returned and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Old Mrs. Zhu has also calmed down. Will the emperor take revenge on her later?
Although the dragon robe incident was not blamed on the Lu family, it was not a good thing after all. Would the emperor become more and more annoyed and take his anger out on the Lu family?
"Su, come and receive the order."
"Yes."
Everyone knelt down together, wondering in their hearts, was this imperial edict for Su Yujiao?
Could it be that she exposed the conspiracy of the poisonous flower and the dragon robe today, and the emperor gave her a special reward?
Sure enough, because of her heroic deeds today, Su Yujiao was named a county lady and was awarded ten thousand taels of gold, a county lady's mansion, thirty slaves, and one thousand acres of fertile land.
Just as Zhou and the others were happy for Su Yujiao, Eunuch Wei continued, "Don't worry, there's more to come."
"Also, Su came to the palace a while ago and reported to me that the Lu family has a family rule that prohibits men from taking concubines. Now Lu Ziqian is seeking to marry the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang as his equal wife. He is unkind and unfaithful. Su requests that he use his merits in exchange for an imperial decree of divorce."
"After discussing with the Queen, I have granted permission. I have also granted permission for Lu Anyan and Lu Anmo to be taken away and raised by the Su family. The Lu family is not allowed to stop us."
"From now on, Lu and Su will part ways and have no further ties. I decree this!"
Su Yujiao kowtowed to express her gratitude, prostrated herself on the ground with her hands, and breathed a long sigh of relief. She had finally received the imperial decree of divorce.
"I thank the Lord for His great grace. Long live the Emperor."
Su Yujiao ignored everyone's shocked and puzzled reactions, and accepted the decree and expressed her gratitude in a cheerful and loud voice.
Eunuch Wei handed the imperial edict to Su Yujiao and said with a smile: "Congratulations, County Master, you have finally achieved your wish."
"This old servant is still waiting for the county lady's cakes."
Su Yujiao smiled sweetly, happy from the bottom of her heart: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to deliver it to the father-in-law."
"Thank you so much, County Master."
Eunuch Wei glanced at Old Zhu and couldn't help but sneered, "Old Madam, this lucky star will no longer belong to the Lu family. Now you have got what you wanted, congratulations!"
Old Zhu's face turned pale and blue due to the ridicule. She wanted to spit at Wei Zhong, but unfortunately she didn't dare.
After Eunuch Wei left, Lu Ziqian was still kneeling on the ground, as if he was stunned and stupid.
Zhou and Lu Jingming also looked at Su Yujiao blankly, as if they could not accept this reality.
"Jiaojiao, you..." Zhou just started to speak.
Lu Ziqian was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot. He grabbed her wrist and lowered his head to her like a mad beast, asking in a low voice, "Why is this happening?"
"Why?"
Su Yujiao couldn't push him away, so she could only turn her face away and said in a cold tone, "We're divorced now, so stop asking these meaningless questions."
Her indifferent attitude could drive him crazy.
How can she be so calm?
This is a divorce, not a game of house, so why does she dare to make such a decision so easily?
"How dare you divorce me?"
"You can't survive a single day without me protecting you!"
Snapped!
Su Yujiao slapped him hard: "Don't be so self-righteous."
"No one in this world can't live without someone else."
"Let go, don't lose your last bit of dignity."
Su Yujiao struggled, but Lu Ziqian hugged her in his arms and almost suffocated her.
"Jiaojiao, you can't leave me."
"I won't let you leave."
"You are mine, and only mine!"
"I know I was wrong. It's not that you can't live without me, it's that I can't live without you."
"Jiaojiao, I can't leave you, please stay, okay?"
"I'm not married to Chen Yunniang, you're still my only wife."
Su Yujiao said calmly, "Let go. It's over between you and me."
"You can't leave me because you're sick. I have no obligation to stay and be your antidote."
"When you remember everything in the past, you will know that I have saved you time and time again. I have been your antidote countless times. This time, I don't want to be your antidote anymore."
"Also, give me back my jade pendant..."
