Chapter 54: One of the Uses of an Ex-Husband

After Xu He was scolded and driven out, the courtyard where Yuetang and the others lived had been very peaceful these past few days. Even the two maidservants who had originally been sent here under the guise of serving them were withdrawn.

Only when Lanqin was cutting fabric beneath the window did she occasionally catch a glimpse of Lady Fu's people poking their heads in outside the courtyard gate.

Yuetang saw it too. She put down her brush and paper, and picked up the cut fabric. "It's so small. Is this for Ah Li?"

Lanqin smiled and nodded. "When the little young master was born, the little clothes and trousers he wore were made by this maid's own hands. Isn't this—"

Yet... she was also extremely eager to know what he would do when facing the Emperor, and facing Wanyan Liang, who looked identical to Wanyan Liang?

"Right now, your body is still weak. Wait until you're a bit better before you go!" By the time she recovered, whether Consort Liu was still alive or not remained a question.

In the past, whenever she heard such remarks, most of the time she would ignore them, turn around, and walk away to distance herself from these messy affairs.

Wasn't Mother the heir to the Mobei Empire? Escaping Mobei and going to the Dali Kingdom? Did she go along with the Founding Master?

Gu Nianxi tightly gripped Gu Zhongting's sleeve, retreating fearfully backward without uttering a single word.

"Gao Ze, watch over Xiaoxiao here. I'm stepping out for a bit." Even though Gao Ze treated Yuan Xiao so well, Yao Xiaodan could never truly regard Gao Ze as one of her "own people" and chat and laugh with him as casually as she did with Yuan Xiao.

"When did the two of you hook up behind my back?" Luo Ying felt like a complete fool. He had been completely oblivious to when his wife and Mu Fenghua had exchanged secret codes. Thinking about it, his mind buzzed with a sharp, glaring sensation of wearing a green hat.

Li Kaili sensed Zhou Quan's intention immediately, and she still felt somewhat nervous inside. She wasn't afraid of what Zhou Quan might do to Yuan Xiao; rather, she was terrified that Zhou Quan would win Yuan Xiao over and then ruthlessly kick her to the curb.

Having gone through countless hardships, she finally arrived at the Imperial Academy. Qiao Ying looked up: a row of towering walls, with the three characters "Imperial Academy" carved in gold and silver, looked incredibly magnificent. Under the sunlight, those characters blinked like stars, flashing continuously and stinging Qiao Ying's eyes.

Aside from the previous Martial Emperor, the combat power of those Azure-grade cultivators who had quietly infiltrated the Sealing Heaven Immortal Palace lagged far behind the top ten of the Northern Frontier Martial Rankings.

Every step he took seemed to resonate with the heavens and the earth, and faint halos of light instantly rippled outward layer upon layer from the spot where his foot landed.

As for Jirgalang, he had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, but judging from the excited look in his eyes when he returned, it seemed some good news had occurred.

Huang Faqu, a native of Bashan, held Xin'gan with the force of a single county, blocking Li Qianshi from defecting to Yu Qing. He had become a hard bone that was impossible to crack or swallow.

Fu Qiang took out the keys, hurriedly unlocked the door, and at the same time removed the handcuffs from Wu Bin's wrists.

However, having been expelled from the Ming Gang, he was long past being the former Uncle Fu, and how could he possibly still have the ability to contend with Si Jingchen?

"Hey, such an exciting moment cannot be without us! Count us in, count us in, we can help out too." Chu Nanxiao followed along excitedly.

On the other hand, walking on foot amidst mountains, rivers, and vast lands made it much easier to perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Banggen ate your family's spiced beef, which is why he has a stomachache. If you didn't poison it, then who else could it have been?"

One could say that starting from the reign of Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, all Ming Dynasty princes enfeoffed in external regions lived a seemingly extravagant life of "semi-confinement." Although they had no worries about food and clothing, they were essentially reduced to cripples.

Aside from the novice village's standard white boxer shorts, all other clothing on his body vanished along with the spiderweb.

Yinzhen harmed me, yet he didn't even offer a single apology. As expected, Consort De knows how to conduct herself better. Many prisoners nearby shed tears of emotion upon seeing this.

Yet another person surnamed Liu. Thinking this, Lin Ruoqing felt as though this surname was about to become a very common one. With a smile on her face, she greeted him obediently.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yamei felt deeply envious. One had to know that her mother was also a major reason why she and Tan Ziming were unable to end up together. Back then, every time the adults came home after joking about it, Liu Yamei's mother would earnestly lecture her, warning her not to fall in love early—even going to university counted as early romance. As a result, she still hadn't found a suitable match to this day.
