married for long anyway.""So you're still saying you want a divorce" Lu Hanchuan's handsome face darkened.Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved slightly, "...Yes.""Fu Xiaoyao, do you really have to do this" Lu Hanc..."This is my grandparents' room," Fu Xiaoyao told him truthfully.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, "And your room"

"You want to stay in my room" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise.

Lu Hanchuan raised his chin, neither confirming nor denying.

"No!" Fu Xiaoyao directly refused him.

Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow, "Why not You're my wife. Isn't it natural for me to sleep in your room"

Fu Xiaoyao glared at him, "It's just not possible anyway."

"Are you sure" Lu Hánchuan circled his arms and glared at her.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, “Sure!”

Lu Hanchuan let out a cold snort, picked up his suitcase and walked past her, heading towards the next room.

There are only two rooms here. Since one belongs to her grandparents, the other one must be hers.

Fu Xiaoyao saw Lu Hanchuan walking towards her room. She was taken aback at first, then grabbed his arm, "Wait, what are you doing"

"What else can we do Go back to the room and put things away." Lu Hanchuan glanced at her hand, his mood somewhat pleasant.

Had she touched him like this before, he would have only felt repulsed.

But now that he understood his own feelings, he actually found this feeling quite nice.

"That's not your room, your room is here." Fu Xiaoyao pointed to the door behind her.

Lu Hanchuan remained unmoved. "I don't like that room, I won't stay there. Besides, if I stay there, where will Aunt Song live"

He asked her in a leisurely manner.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little stunned by the question.

Yeah, she lives in one, Lu Hánchuan lives in another, then where does Aunt Song live

Looking at Fu Xiaoyao's dazed expression, Lu Hanchuan had a faint smile in his eyes, "Reacting now Are you still going to live apart from me"

Fu Xiaoyao's little mouth moved, but she couldn't speak.

Lu Hanchuan saw her expression and felt a sense of satisfaction. Then, under her gaze, he opened the door to her room and strode in with swagger.

Before she could react and follow him in, a crisp click of the door shutting was her only response.

Fu Xiaoyao stood at the door of the room, staring dumbfoundedly at the closed door. Her heart suddenly felt a surge of anger.

This man, he broke into her room and that's bad enough, but he even closed the door and wouldn't let her in!

This is too much!

"Madam," Song Yi's voice rang out outside.

Fu Xiaoyao could only temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction with Lu Hanchuan and turned out of the main hall, "Aunt Song, what's wrong"

"Where's this rice I've been looking for it all morning." Aunt Song asked.

Fu Xiaoyao patted her forehead. "It's in the cupboard, I forgot to tell you."

Saying that, she opened the cabinet and took out the rice.

Aunt Song saw her, smiled and said, "So you're here! I was looking all over for you."

"Auntie Song, will you be using this kitchen" Fu Xiaoyao looked around the kitchen and asked with some concern.

Although Aunt Song was a servant in the Lu family, she was truly a city dweller.

Even in the countryside where wood-burning stoves are common, they may not always be used.

"It should work, right" Aunt Song replied somewhat uncertainly. "It's just this fire, I'm not very good at lighting it. I tried for ages and couldn't get it going..."

Fu Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth, "It seems like you're not very good at it, then Auntie Song, let me build the fire for you."

Aunt Song touched her nose a little embarrassedly, "Then trouble you, Madam..."

"No trouble at all. It's my pleasure." Fu Xiaoyao said, then sat down by the fire pit.

With Fu Xiaoyao's help, Aunt Song's cooking process went much smoother, and she gradually got used to the earthen stove.

She stirred the porridge in the pot while asking, "By the way, ma'am, where is your husband"

“He’s in the room.” Fu Xiaoyao answered.

Aunt Song fell silent for a few seconds before asking again, "Madam, you really don't intend to return with your husband"

Fu Xiaoyao's movements of tending the fire paused for a moment, then quickly returned to natural, "Well, I've made up my mind."

"But sir, this time he came specifically to pick you up."

"So what Just because he came to pick me up, I have to go with him" Fu Xiaoyao looked at the fire in the earthen stove, her face expressionless.

Aunt Song sighed, "But if you don't go with him, do you plan to stay here forever Although the countryside has good air and is a great place for health preservation, once you get sick, you have to travel far to see a doctor, which is very troublesome!"

"I know, and I'm not planning to stay here forever. I just want to relax here for a while, until I completely get over the pain of losing my child. Only then can I calmly return to the city and embrace a new life." Fu Xiaoyao added another piece of firewood to the earthen stove.

Aunt Song looked at her, "Though you say so, the fact that your husband doesn't want to divorce you means your marital relationship will continue to exist. How can you then start a new life"

"He won't divorce, there's still grandpa. Grandpa promised me, he can't possibly defy grandpa," Fu Xiaoyao scoffed dismissively.

Mrs. Song shook her head with a smile, "Madam, you really think Master can control the Young Master Once the Young Master has made up his mind, even if Master intervenes, the Young Master won't listen. Otherwise, the Lu family wouldn't have been able to develop into such a powerful force under the Young Master's hands."

"Could he really defy grandpa's orders" Fu Xiaoyao widened her eyes.

Aunt Song nodded affirmatively, "The young master is indeed bold. Three years ago, when the young master married you, he didn't go against his grandfather because at the time, he felt guilty towards his grandfather, so he obeyed his grandfather's words and got married obediently. I hope this makes sense to you, Madam"

Fu Xiaoyao's face paled slightly, "So, my marriage is really inescapable"

"It's about the same. As long as the young master doesn't speak up, your marriage will remain." Aunt Song spread her hands.

Fu Xiaoyao fell silent, unable to articulate the mixed feelings swirling within her. There was a bitterness of resentment, mingled with a secret joy she refused to acknowledge.

"Madam." Seeing that Fu Xiaoyao had started to daydream, Aunt Song couldn't help but call out softly.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked. "What"

“It’s nothing, I’m telling you this because I hope your wife knows that divorce is not as simple as you think. Although from your wife’s perspective, divorcing is the right thing to do, have you ever thought about what consequences there will be once you and your husband actually get divorced” Aunt Song looked at her seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head slightly.

As for this, she hadn't really thought about it much.

"Then let me tell your wife about it." Auntie Song put down the ladle in her hand and pulled a chair to sit in front of Fu Xiaoyao. "When you two divorce, Qi Ya will take advantage of the situation and climb into your husband's bed easily with her methods. At that time, your husband will definitely marry her."

"Isn't this normal" Fu Xiaoyao clenched the firewood stick in her hand, suppressing the sourness in her heart and pretending to be nonchalant: "They are already in love, I give up my position, wouldn't Lu Hanchuan be able to marry Qi Ya then"

"But madam, Master has never liked Qi Ya. Once Mr. really brings Qi Ya into the family, Master will definitely be furious, you truly want this to happen" Song Yi asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao's small mouth opened and closed, "I... I don't know..."

“Let me give you another example.” Aunt Song brushed the dust off her apron. “Three years ago, before Mr. Lu and Qi Ya broke up, Qi Ya betrayed Mr. Lu once. That time almost cost Mr. Lu his life. If they were to actually get married later, it’s hard to say that Qi Ya wouldn't betray Mr. Lu again for personal gain, betraying the Lu family!”

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but start to worry. She tried to recall the scene mentioned by Aunt Song and immediately felt uneasy about it.

It's not just that I can't accept Qi Ya marrying Lu Hanzchuan, it's more that I can't accept Qi Ya's betrayal of Lu Hanzchuan!

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao's breathing became a little heavier, "By the way, Auntie Song, you guys have been talking about Qi Ya betraying Lu Hanzchuan three years ago. What exactly does this betrayal mean"said the person outside politely.Fu Xiaoyao yawned as she walked over and opened the door. "Hello, is there something I can help you with""Miss, do you know the owner of that Maybach downstairs" asked...
