Chapter 216: Letter of Request for Divorce
Chengyang Marquis Mansion, Xunyang Pavilion
Lu Mingyang woke up in a daze, saw the familiar furnishings, and propped himself up in confusion.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Mingyuan, who was sitting on the chaise longue and reading, put down the book, walked over and helped his sister to cushion the backrest.
Lu Mingyang shook his head, looked at his elder sister anxiously, and asked, "Your Highness sent me back?"
"Why mention him?" Lu Mingyuan's face turned cold. "If Doctor Leng hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had suffered so much injustice in the palace."
Lu Mingyang was puzzled: "What wronged me?"
"You do not know?"
"what do you know?"
"Nothing!" Lu Mingyuan shook his head hurriedly.
That's right, how could Prince Ningyuan let Yang'er know about this? Lu Mingyuan said distressedly, "Doctor Leng said that your dysmenorrhea needs more time to recuperate. We should stay at home and recuperate instead of going to the palace."
As he said this, he emphasized: "Even if he invites you, you are not allowed to go back."
Lu Mingyang lowered his eyes: "Why would he ask me to go back? He hates me so much that he can't wait to see me."
"what?"
The medicine was heating on the stove, and Lu Mingyuan happened to go over to get it, so he didn't hear clearly. Lu Mingyang didn't say anything else, just smiled awkwardly, and drank the medicine obediently with the spoon fed by his eldest sister.
After drinking the medicine, Lu Mingyuan changed her into new clothes. When she came, she directly wrapped her sister in a brocade quilt and took her back home without changing her dirty clothes.
"No, I'll change it myself."
Lu Mingyang suddenly realized something, but it was too late. Lu Mingyuan saw the bruises on her body, her collarbone, arms, waist and abdomen were all covered with bruises.
"How dare he hit you!"
"No, no!" Lu Mingyang said shyly, "He just drank that day and used a little too much force. He didn't mean to do it."
"Silly girl!" Lu Mingyuan covered his face and cried as he looked at his sister trying to protect him.
Lu Mingyang was dumbfounded. Just when she was about to explain, the door rang.
"Eldest sister, is the fourth sister awake?"
It was Lu Mingze's voice.
Lu Mingyuan covered his sister with the quilt and went to open the door.
Lu Mingze had just returned from the Huben Camp, dusty and still in his armor. Since his return, the Emperor had sent him back to the Huben Camp to serve as a military officer.
"I heard from Uncle Zhong that Fourth Sister was sick when she came."
"Let's talk in your study!" Lu Mingyuan closed the door and went to his brother's yard, Zezhouju.
Seeing that his elder sister had closed the doors and windows and was still standing in Zhuxin, Lu Mingze asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Yang'er is not feeling well and needs to stay home to recuperate." Lu Mingyuan's eyes were red. "I didn't expect that Prince Ningyuan would actually give Yang'er contraceptive soup."
"Why?" Lu Mingze was shocked.
Lu Mingyuan speculated, "Perhaps in his heart, our Chengyang Marquisate is not as important as the Qin Guogong Mansion. When Qin Miao gave birth to the eldest son, the Qin Guogong would naturally help him with all his strength."
"Fourth Miss, why are you here!" Zhu Xin's voice sounded hurriedly.
Lu Mingyuan turned his back and wiped his tears.
Lu Mingze went over to open the door.
An extremely gloomy scarred face appeared in front of him. Lu Mingyang stepped back in fear and only managed to calm down with the help of Zhu Xin.
"Third brother, don't be angry, I will return to the palace in a while."
He still had to rely on Prince Ningyuan to avenge his father and brother and seek justice for the 30,000 loyal souls, so naturally he didn't want to anger him. Besides, anyone would think that the incident was their own fault.
Chu Mingzheng had already made a huge concession by just sending himself back home.
Lu Mingze looked at his sister's pale face and said coldly, "Why go back and let him continue to bully you?"
"what?"
Lu Mingyang was stunned. When he came to his senses, the person had disappeared.
Two days later, Lu Mingze wrote an invitation to Prince Ningyuan to visit his house. Although he arrived a little late, Lu Mingze made no bones about it and treated him to excellent food and wine.
However, there were only two people in the huge hall.
Chu Mingzheng hid the disappointment in his eyes and asked, "Is she feeling better?"
"Your Highness, I am your younger sister, so please don't worry about me."
There was a knife in his words. Chu Mingzheng looked at him in surprise and said nothing more.
Lu Mingze continued, "I wonder if the Chengyang Marquisate has wronged Your Highness in any way. Please let me know."
Chu Mingzheng slowly loosened his grip on the wine glass, "If there's nothing else, I have something else to do."
"Wait!" Lu Mingze said directly: "If my sister has done anything wrong to Your Highness, please tell me. No matter how difficult it is, I will pay it back for her. If not..."
Lu Mingze suddenly raised his voice, "Your Highness, please write a letter to release your wife. The entire Chengyang Marquis's Mansion will be grateful."
Chu Mingzheng's face suddenly turned cold: "Is this what you mean, or what she means?"
Lu Mingze said, "As long as Your Highness does not despise the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, everything I promised Your Highness in the mountains and forests will never change. Whether Your Highness believes it or not is entirely up to Your Highness to decide, but my sister is not a gift from the Chengyang Marquis Mansion to Your Highness in loyalty."
Chu Mingzheng slammed the table and stood up: "Let her out."
Lu Mingze stood up and said coldly, "If Your Highness is unwilling, I will have to go to the Emperor myself."
Now that he was back, the emperor naturally didn't want the Chengyang Marquisate and the Ningyuan Prince's House to marry again. No matter what excuse Lu Mingze came up with, the emperor would go along with it.
"How dare you threaten me!"
"I dare not!" Lu Mingze met his gaze calmly and bowed, "Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness."
"There's no need for me to waste time talking to you." Chu Mingzheng turned away.
Seeing that he was heading towards the backyard, Lu Mingze chased after him and blocked his way. "Your Highness, as a husband, do you really want to force a woman?"
Chu Mingzheng said angrily, "Lu Mingze, who do you think you are? Whatever I want to do can be accomplished without anyone else. Without me, you are nothing."
"I'm Yang'er's older brother. As long as I'm alive, I will never let my closest relatives suffer even the slightest injustice." Having said this, Lu Mingze looked at the man in front of him with disgust. "No matter what I want to do, I will never bully a woman."
……
"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss..." Zhong Bo ran towards Yuanzhi Pavilion breathlessly, "The Third Young Master and Prince Ningyuan are fighting."
"what?"
Lu Mingyang and his elder sister looked at each other and ran out.
In front of Shuyun Pavilion, two figures, one white, one black, moved as fast as lightning. It was impossible to tell who they were. All that could be seen were two tall sycamore trees, their yellow leaves rapidly falling, leaving only withered branches swaying.
There was a loud bang and a huge slapping sound, and no one knew who was injured.
"stop fighting!"
No one responded, so Lu Mingyang clenched his fists and barged in. Suddenly, his hands were grabbed and pulled left and right.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
This time, they both let go of each other's hands at the same time.
Lu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingzheng and pushed him away angrily: "Chu Mingzheng, you're going too far. You can kill me or chop me up if you want, but why are you looking for my third brother?"
As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.
Lu Mingze pulled his sister behind him and said, "Don't be afraid, Fourth Sister. Today I will make sure he divorces you."
"Divorce?" Lu Mingyang asked anxiously, "Third brother, I don't want a divorce. Why should I divorce?"
