LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Chapter 239 He Regrets

The lady in Jingyang Marquis's mansion paced back and forth in the room, and finally told Haiyun, "Go and invite the Marquis over."

Upon hearing this, Haiyun glanced at the lady who was worried, then lowered his eyes and replied yes.

To be honest, as a maid, she looked down upon the lady's behavior. She actually thought of using stones as a betrothal gift. Is this really something a lady of a wealthy family would do?

If it weren't for...she would have left Jingyang Marquis Mansion long ago. Forget it, just be patient for a while.

Jing Zhaoyan has been reluctant to go out recently because he lost face in the marriage proposal to the Ji family.

He really couldn't understand why his mother did this. Could it be that the Marquis's Mansion was really so poor?

Back then, when his father, the old marquis, was still alive, there was still some family property. Later, when Lu Chenshuang married into the family, she also brought a considerable dowry.

He felt heartbroken whenever he thought of Lu Chenshuang. After all, such a bright and flamboyant woman no longer belonged to him.

I still remember when they got married, he lifted Lu Chenshuang's veil and saw her blushing face and the anxiety in her eyes.

But at that time he resisted the marriage chosen for him by the lady, as he always felt that Lu Chenshuang had the rigidity of a lady from a noble family, and there was always some timidity in her eyes.

So when he met a woman like Liu Anran on the battlefield who was so unrestrained and dared to dress up as a man to join the army, he felt that such a woman was lively and was what he wanted.

Even though Liu Anran wasn't as pretty as Lu Chenshuang, and her family background wasn't as good as Lu Chenshuang's, he somehow thought she was good.

It was as if I was possessed by a ghost and I fell hopelessly in love with her.

After they tasted the forbidden fruit, he also promised Liu Anran that he would marry her.

But at that time, he was thinking of giving Liu Anran the position of co-wife. As for Lu Chenshuang, as long as she was obedient, he didn't mind supporting her for the rest of her life.

But he didn't expect Lu Chenshuang to be so resolute and to ask for the imperial decree for divorce without hesitation.

He was completely confused at the time and thought that Lu Chenshuang did this because she was angry at the moment. After all, he heard that she insisted on marrying him at the beginning.

Then things didn't seem to develop in the direction he expected.

Lu Chenshuang really wanted to divorce him, and Liu Anran was no longer the unbridled and ostentatious woman he met on the battlefield.

He fights with Haiyue like a black-eyed chicken all day long, and he is adept at fawning and flattering her.

But every time he felt annoyed by Liu Anran's behavior, he would uncontrollably think of her good points.

So he didn't want to see anyone these days, not even Liu Anran.

He locked himself in the study and drank alone. He admitted that he regretted divorcing Lu Chenshuang.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was how could she marry Mu Hansu, the man who was better than him in every way and whom he needed to look up to? How could he marry a woman he didn't want?

Just as Jing Zhaoyan was drinking glass after glass in an attempt to numb himself.

Haiyun's voice rang out from outside the door: "My Lord, the Madam wants to see you. Please go to Ci'an Hall."

Jing Zhaoyan ignored Haiyun and continued drinking.

What other big thing could his mother have to ask him about except for some trivial matter?

Seeing that he had been shouting for a long time but Jing Zhaoyan ignored him, Haiyun curled his lips and did not force him.

Haiyun returned to Ci'an Courtyard. The lady didn't see Jing Zhaoyan and asked unhappily, "Where's the Marquis? Didn't I ask you to invite him?"

Haiyun said aggrievedly, "Madam, I have been calling for a long time, but the Marquis did not even open the door."

The lady glared at her and scolded, "Useless!"

Then he stormed out of the room and went straight to the study.

The lady knocked on the door personally, so Jing Zhaoyan had to open the door no matter how angry he was.

The lady saw that he reeked of alcohol and had an untidy beard, which looked like he hadn't groomed himself for several days.

The lady was suddenly a little angry. Who knew how much grievance she had endured for her son? But just because she did something wrong, he became so decadent. It was really unfair to her for all the efforts she had made over the years.

The lady was furious and scolded: "Is this all you have? I admit that I was confused about the betrothal gift.

Later, I went to the Ji family to apologize, and they agreed not to cancel the engagement. What else do you want?"

Jing Zhaoyan didn't say anything when he heard this. He didn't know what he wanted, but he knew that he didn't want to marry the eldest girl from the Ji family at all.

He wanted Lu Chenshuang to come back and act as if nothing had happened.

But he himself knew that it was impossible.

When the lady heard him talking, she spoke again, "Son, you lost your father when you were young, and it was your mother who raised you all by herself.

No one wants you to live a good life more than your mother.

If you don't like Lu Chenshuang, your mother won't force you. If you like Liu Anran, your mother will make her a concubine even if she looks down on her.

It's really because her status is too low and she is not qualified to be the mistress of the marquis's mansion.

The Ji family is the best marriage your mother can ask for for you.

Although Miss Ji is not good-looking, the Ji family will be helpful to your future.

As for the two little bitches in the mansion, I have also found a way for them to get married. Once they get married, they will be a great help to you in the future.

You have had an extraordinary destiny since childhood, and you are destined to be rich and powerful, so you must never give up on yourself."

The little bitches that the lady was talking about were none other than Jing Zhaoyan's two half sisters.

The lady had allowed them to live until now just for today, to find a helper for Jing Zhaoyan.

Naturally, the marriage that the lady arranged for them would not be to a good family. It would be nothing more than becoming a concubine in a wealthy family.

Jing Zhaoyan had no feelings for his two half sisters, and he was naturally selfish and cold-hearted, so he didn't care who they married.

Seeing that Jing Zhaoyan had softened, the lady continued, "Although the emperor has demoted you, you are still serving in the army, you are still Marquis Jingyang, and you still have military power.

How long have you not been to the military camp? Do you know what happened in the military camp?

If there is an opportunity to make achievements, it won't be your turn if you stay at home every day."

Jing Zhaoyan put away the decadence in his eyes after hearing this, looked at the lady and asked, "Mother, do you think I still have a chance to turn things around?"

The lady said without hesitation: "Of course there is. My son is a rare talent. Sooner or later, you will be the most powerful official in the country."

Jing Zhaoyan didn't know where her confidence came from, but he knew his mother was right when she said, "Only if he stayed in the military camp would he have the possibility of making achievements and turning the tide."

Moreover, he subconsciously wanted to prove to Lu Chenshuang that he was no worse than Mu Hansu, he just didn't have a good background like him.

So Jing Zhaoyan immediately asked someone to bring him some sobering soup and clean him up. He was planning to go to the military camp.

When the lady saw him like this, a complicated smile flashed in her eyes.
