Chapter 388 Friends
Chapter 388 Friends
Madam Li didn't know what Li Shu was referring to, and when she heard that both Liu Yuechu and Lin Mengyu refused, she didn't have the confidence to complain.
“He’s actually right. Since he doesn’t plan to come back, divorcing you is a good thing. Otherwise, what’s the point of keeping this title if he leaves you in the capital, in this empty mansion?”
"Besides, you are husband and wife. Even if you know things that cannot be told to outsiders, that would be colluding with each other."
"By making this public, you're not the one who's hurt the most, but yourself!"
Mrs. Li wiped away her tears as she spoke; she had cried countless times already.
She often asked herself what sins she had committed to make her daughter so foolish and blinded, so headstrong.
Li Shu chuckled softly, then laughed maniacally, "Colluding with each other? Hahahaha, yes, we are colluding with each other."
"So either we die together, or don't even think about getting rid of me!"
"What can I say to make you stop? Do you have to make everyone look like they're not even human anymore?! This matter is beyond discussion, the divorce is a done deal!"
Madam Li could no longer bear it; she was also worried about her son. "Before, you wanted to marry Wei Gongming, which caused your elder brother to lose his job. Now you're making a fuss about divorce, and you're going to drag your elder brother down with you?"
"Will you only stop when you've driven me and your father to our graves?!"
Madam Li was getting impatient with her advice and was also angry with Li Shu. "Once your father and elder brother come out of the palace, we will take you home."
"Once you've recovered, I'll take you to stay at our estate in the outskirts of the capital for a while. You've been staying in this mansion for too long, and you've become quite listless."
Since her daughter got married, Madam Li has visited the Zhenning Marquis's residence only a handful of times.
Li Shu stared intently at the ceiling above the bed, not wanting to say a single word.
Seeing her like this, Madam Li was too lazy to say anything more. She told the maids to keep an eye on Li Shu to make sure nothing else happened, while she sent people to prepare for moving out of the Marquis's mansion. She also sent someone to the palace gate to ask if the master and Li Chengyue could return today.
"Help me up. If Liu Yuechu doesn't come to see me, I'll go see her myself."
After a long while, Li Shu suddenly uttered this sentence.
The maids didn't hear clearly at first, but when Li Shu repeated herself, the maids immediately refused, saying, "The old lady said that you are not allowed to leave, Madam."
Li Shu slowly turned her head to look at the maid, "Even if Wei Gongming wants a divorce, I am still the wife of the heir! I can't do other things, but I can still decide to sell you for money!"
"But……"
"No buts, I'm just asking you, will you let me go or not?" Li Shu had gone mad, completely insane.
The maids dared not delay any longer and immediately stepped forward to help her up.
After arranging the move, Madam Li returned to Li Shu's courtyard only to find that she had suddenly disappeared.
"Where is your heir's wife? Where is she?" Madam Li's scalp tingled, and her hair stood on end as if she had been struck by lightning!
The maids left in the courtyard didn't know and could only shake their heads repeatedly. "It seems that the madam was going to see someone and then forced the ladies to prepare the carriages. They just left from the west gate."
Madam Li's head suddenly went blank, and her first instinct was to send someone to tell the master and Li Chengyue.
But as she was about to speak, she remembered that the two people were still in the palace and couldn't help her at all.
"Find her! You must find your wife!"
"Send someone to the Liu family to see if she went there!"
……
The stars in the capital city shine exceptionally bright tonight. As night falls, the Milky Way slants like spilled ink, making the night even more alluring and beautiful than the day.
Liu Yuechu still couldn't wait for Yuan Cuo to return.
After putting the two children to sleep, she sat in the yard enjoying the night view and continued to wait.
But instead of Yuan Cuo, they received news of Li Shu.
It was Liu Fujia who came running to inquire, “The wife of the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning has arrived at our door. She said that you refuse to see her, so she came to see you. If you don’t see her, she won’t leave.”
Liu Yuechu was indeed surprised.
This behavior is a bit out of character for Li Shu.
In the past, she would be heartbroken and saddened by being neglected even slightly. Why did she rush up to her today and come directly to find her?
"Just tell her I've already gone to bed and that she can come again tomorrow." Liu Yuechu thought for a moment, but still didn't want to see her.
It's not that I'm deliberately rejecting it, but I feel it's meaningless.
“I just said so, but she won’t give up. Now everyone’s gathered at the gate watching. I think we should call her in? At least we can’t let things get out of hand at the gate,” Liu Fujie said quickly.
Liu Yuechu clicked her tongue twice, "Didn't you ask her why she insisted on seeing me?"
“She won’t say,” said Liu Fujia. “I originally wanted to bring up Granny Fang to deal with her, but she only said that she had something to tell Master.”
"Now Granny Fang is at the door keeping you company, and she asked me to come and tell you as soon as possible."
Liu Yuechu really didn't expect Li Shu to be so difficult to deal with.
"Have Granny Fang ask her what important matter she has to discuss. If she tells me, I will consider it further. If she refuses to tell me, have Granny Fang send her back to the Zhenning Marquis's residence and hand her over to Madam Li."
When people are given a second chance at life, they often do things that are different from ordinary people.
When Liu Yuechu thought about how the first thing she did after learning about her rebirth was to buy her favorite braised pork ribs, she bought them all and ate them for a long time.
But this is her.
She really didn't know what Li Shu would do.
Liu Fujia went immediately, and Granny Fang returned quickly as well.
She looked tense and anxious, and her steps were hurried. When she saw Liu Yuechu, she said, "She said that there was another reason for Guan's death, but when I asked her again, she refused to say a word. She only wanted to tell you, Master."
"The Guan family?" Liu Yuechu was surprised that Li Shu would mention her.
"Whether she lives or dies, and how she died, what does it have to do with me?" Liu Yuechu was truly puzzled.
The Zhenning Marquis's mansion had long since become estranged from her, so why should she concern herself with the births, deaths, illnesses, and aging of other mansions?
Even if Guan died at the hands of her own son, it had nothing to do with Liu Yuechu.
"Go tell her that I have no interest in anything happening in the Zhenning Marquis's mansion, and that she should go back and rest well." Liu Yuechu still did not intend to see her.
Granny Fang responded softly and went to the door to deliver the message herself.
When Li Shu heard Fang Mama's refusal, she was neither angry nor shocked. It seemed that she had expected it, and she just smiled.
Before coming to the Liu family, Li Shu made a special trip to visit Wei Gongming, who was covered in injuries.
When Wei Gongming heard her threats, he only told her to go to the palace to file a complaint, saying, "If you want to accuse me of matricide, you have to go to the Dali Temple, after all, I am still an official of the court."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and continued to recover from his injury.
In a fit of anger, Li Shu went to the Liu family's door, but Liu Yuechu refused to see her at all.
"One of them would rather die than divorce me, while the other, knowing I was contemplating suicide, remained indifferent."
"This is what marriage is?"
"Is this what a best friend is like?"
