The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
20. Two Awkward People In A Car
Lu Qin Hao drove his son and son-in-law to the front of the house. She took her daughter to her husband's house. He really wished Lu Jing Yu's life to be happier starting today. Although he rarely saw the development of his two daughters at home, he was aware of the rumors circulating outside regarding Lu Jing Yu. He also asked Du Mei and Du Mei also confirmed the tumor.
Regarding the marriage of Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi, Lu Qin Hao also knew that this was because the plan was not made by Lu Jing Yu himself. That was why when he found out that Pei Zhang Xi did not come in the morning, he was resigned to the fate of his daughter which was like a rumor circulating. Not getting affection.
But his hopes re-emerged as he greeted Pei Zhang Xi in the afternoon. This meant that, even though Pei Zhang Xi did not really accept Lu Jing Yu, he still considered her a wife and did not treat her badly.
To him, these two things were already good considering how hard Pei Zhang Xi was.
"My husband, Yu'er will definitely be happy. Don't worry about it too much." Du Mei patted Lu Qin Hao's arm who sighed staring at the carriage that was getting less and less away.
"alright. Let's go in." Lu Qin Hao stared at the carriage once more before he turned around and entered the residence.
Du Mei gestured for Lu Jing Yi to enter immediately as well. For the next plan, they could still think about it. For now they have to give up. They could not continue to push luck at the time when Lu Qin Hao was in his current state.
Lu Jing Yi finally walked in reluctantly. Staring at the train that was finally not seen being swallowed by another train on the street.
Meanwhile, Lu Jing Yu who had not expected Pei Zhang Xi would step inside the carriage squeezed herself in the corner. Afraid that an uninspired touch from him would make Pei Zhang Xi angry and punish him.
Honestly speaking, Lu Jing Yu really couldn't bear to sit in the same place as such a cold person. The aura that was released was able to dominate the place. He will feel uncomfortable and depressed.
Lu Jing Yu glanced once again at the man beside her who was just silent and reading through the documents. The documents in his hand were gradually flipped over. Then occasionally he will throw documents to the side after finishing writing a few words or giving his signature and stamp.
Lu Jing Yu had already seen an assortment of handsome faces while she was in her world. After all in the world there is a television and also an internet channel that can connect every country in any part of the world. Any kind of good looks can be seen and admired from there. But after he saw Pei Zhang Xi for the first time, he felt that the novelist was indeed not exaggerating as he described Pei Zhang Xi's good looks as the kind that was at the top.
In his head, Lu Jing Yu began to display and compare the handsome men in the world with Pei Zhang Xi. However after noticing Pei Zhang Xi's current face, he, he realized one thing that people don't write randomly saying a man will be twice as good-looking when he's serious. Like the current Pei Zhang Xi who looked even more handsome. Suddenly, he flinched.
Why is he thinking about it?
He hit his head lightly as he decided to close his eyes. It was better for him to go to sleep than to think of useless things.
Pei Zhang Xi glanced at Lu Jing Yu who was closing himself up further with the carriage wall. Looking at his closed eyes but he knew that Lu Jing Yu was still not sleeping. After all, he had just discovered that he had been watching her blatantly.
Think briefly. Pei Zhang Xi wanted to apologize to her for not driving her away this morning so that made her the subject of everyone's banter and gossip. But as he thought again, he did not open his mouth and refocused on the document in front of him. Finally, the car was in silence all the way.
The next day, Lu Jing Yu finished enjoying her delicious suggestion. Yesterday before leaving for the prime minister's residence, he had taught the chefs to make super spicy scrambled eggs. He did not expect today he would get a satisfactory result. The cook's head cuisine was even more delicious than the one he made yesterday.
If Lu Jing Yu knew how many thousands of eggs the head chef had spent learning to cook, perhaps she would faint. All day until night yesterday, everyone in the residence ate all the super spicy eggs. As of this morning, the servants and guards' bathrooms were all full of long queues. And the stench! All egg supplies across the capital have been exhausted.
"Xiao Bei's. Is divorce in this age?" Said Lu Jing Yu after he finished eating.
"Sir, why are you asking this question?" Xiao Bei was completely shocked. He did not expect his master to ask him this. Though he knew very well how hard Lu Jing Yu wanted to marry Pei Zhang Xi.
Right now, Xiao Bei was even thinking that Lu Jing Yu was worried about the fate of her marriage so asked her the matter of divorce. He immediately comforted her.
"Although divorce can happen but it is taboo and has strict conditions. Especially for members of the royal family. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not allow the divorce. So Your Majesty need not worry. His Majesty King Rui will definitely never divorce the Empress anyway."
Xiao Bei was the servant girl who had accompanied the real Lu Jing Yu. So he must have been very close and understood the contents of his master's heart. If it was the real Lu Jing Yu, it was indeed what was in his heart. Worrying. But at this moment, his master's soul had changed. Which he doesn't understand. They want divorce more than anyone.
Lu Jing Yu had the ambition to get married once in her lifetime. She wanted the same for her husband. But nowadays, it is very rare for a husband to have only one wife unless he is a poor commoner. Moreover, her current husband was a prince who would definitely have many wives and concubines in the future. But he won't be able to accept this. For her, rather than having to share her husband with another woman, she would choose to ban him for the rest of her life.
'Alright. The important thing is that divorce still has possibilities. So I don't have to run away to escape a loveless marriage that will drag me down to the brink of death. Right now all I have to do is think of a way to unite Pei Zhang Xi and Zhu Man Xie. Right yeah. Putting them together is something I should do right away.'
That night, Pei Zhang Xi received a report from Aunt Wu regarding Lu Jing Yu asking about the divorce with Xiao Bei.
"What about divorce?" Pei Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes Your Majesty. The empress asked if the divorce was allowed in this empire." Hearing him made Pei Zhang Xi even more clueless. Everyone knows that divorce can happen. Otherwise, she would not have been willing when her Emperor father forced her to marry him. It would be strange if Lu Jing Yu did not know about it and had to ask a little servant.
Pei Zhang Xi stood up and walked out of the room. Aunt Wu and Mo Han immediately followed after him.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Lan Hua Pavilion"
Mo Han was stunned and paused for a while before returning to chase Pei Zhang Xi. He's been in the room since. He heard everything that Aunt Wu reported. But he did not think that Pei Zhang Xi would go see Lu Jing Yu after that.
