 Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wives? I Refuse to be the Mistress of this Marquis' Mansion

 Chapter 239: 

Yunwan, I was wrong 

"Yunwan, it's me. I am Lu Zhengliu," Lu Zhengliu nervously uttered his name.

Lin Yunwan still regarded him as if he were a stranger.

Lu Zhengliu took a step forward, but Cuiqin had already rushed out with the maids, intercepting him, and sternly rebuked, "Who do you think you are? How dare you rush into the inner courtyard and disturb the ladies? Back off!"

He stood still, staring straight at her face. 

He had thought of her for nearly seven years, day and night, hoping she would come back to life. He had gone from heartbreak to numbness, finally accepting the fact of her death, and now she reappeared.

Lu Zhengliu held back his tears, choked up, "Yunwan, I... all these years, I've been waiting for you..."

Overwhelmed with joy, he cried, "This is amazing, you're not dead. This is incredible! Yunwan, let's go home, come back with me."

He rushed past the servant, wanting to take Lin Yunwan's hand.

Lin Yunwan didn't even bother to hide, watching coldly. 

Several maids stood in front of her like a barrier, taking off their hairpins and forcing Lu Zhengliu to step back. 

Lu Zhengliu's hand was scratched and bleeding from the confrontation, but he didn't feel the pain. 

He looked at her with joy, "Yunwan, come back home with me."

However, Lin Yunwan remained indifferent from start to finish, saying coldly, "Are you mistaking me for someone else?"

Her gaze was as if she had never known him.

Lu Zhengliu shook his head, "No, I couldn't be mistaken. I would never be mistaken. Yunwan, I know... it's you, it's always been you!"

"Even if you turned into ashes, I would recognize you. Even after passing through the gates of hell, I wouldn't forget you."

He knew it was her. 

But she refused to acknowledge him.

He was a bit flustered, stuttering for a while before saying, "Yunwan, I know you hate me for favoring concubines and neglecting my wife. I know I was wrong, I truly know I made mistakes... I've done too many wrongs, I know, I know them all. I will change, please come back home with me, okay?"

Lin Yunwan found it quite ridiculous. 

She hadn't expected to hear Lu Zhengliu admit his mistakes in her lifetime.

But she just looked at him with a hint of confusion. 

She didn't even regard him. 

Cuqin pushed Lu Zhengliu away with the maids, glaring at him fiercely, "Do you know who you're offending right now—"

Lu Zhengliu couldn't care less.

His eyes were fixed on her alone, and he had a slightly ingratiating smile on his face. "Yunwan, I haven't taken another woman as my wife. I haven't even promoted her to the position of a proper wife. The position of the legitimate wife in the Wu Ding Marquis's Mansion has always been reserved for you. I only acknowledge you."

"I know how much you cherish Changgong. After you left, I treated him as my own."

"You were closest to Zhuqing, so I treated Zhuqing as well as you treated her. You don't know, Zhuqing gave birth to a daughter who looks a bit like you."

"Yunwan, grandmother misses you too. She has repented. From now on, everything in the family will listen to you, and no one will ever trouble you again."

Cuqin and the other maids were startled.

The madman in front of them turned out to be the master of the Wu Ding Marquis's Mansion.

Lin Yunwan frowned in disgust and said coldly, "You really have mistaken me for someone else."

Lu Zhengliu clenched his teeth in desperation.

She refused to acknowledge him! Why?!

He spared a moment of rationality to scrutinize Lin Yunwan and only then realized that she was dressed as a married woman.

He asked, his whole body going cold, "You, you got married? You got married? How could you get married?"

"You're already married to me. How could you, how could you marry someone else?"

Even Cuiqin couldn't bear to listen anymore, her face cold as she said, "If this gentleman is referring to the former mistress of the Wu Ding Marquis's residence—didn't she already divorce from the Lu family? Why couldn't she remarry?"

Though it's said that a woman shouldn't serve two husbands, she had heard about the affairs of the Wu Ding Marquis's residence in just a few days since arriving in the capital.

If that mistress were to remarry while still alive, it would be a great relief for everyone!

Lu Zhengliu trembled slightly, gradually calming down. 

He had almost forgotten that he had already sent Lin Yunwan a divorce letter. If she wanted to remarry, he couldn't stop her.

But that didn't matter.

He could marry her again.

"Yunwan, I'll marry you again. With proper ceremonies and betrothal gifts, I won't let you suffer any grievances. How much dowry you want, I'll give it to you."

Lu Zhengliu poured his heart out, "All the debts I owe you from before, I'll make it up to you this time."

"Okay?" His tone had never been so gentle.

Lin Yunwan felt a wave of disgust in her heart, her stomach turning slightly.

Lu Zhengliu realized that Lin Yunwan seemed to have the status of a married woman now, so he generously said, "I don't care if you remarry for the second, third, or fourth time. I just want you back!"

Cuiqin widened her eyes. Was he really not concerned about this? The most important thing was whether her royal highness and his highness cared! But this man seemed to have gone mad, not listening to anything said to him. "You lunatic..."

There was nothing much to say to a lunatic. She just feared it might offend the princess. Cuiqin turned back and whispered, "Your Highness, please go in first."

"What's wrong with this Duke's residence? How can they let such a madman into the inner courtyard? And why hasn't anyone dragged him away yet!"

Lu Zhengliu glanced at Cuiqin and the surrounding maidservants.

Even if Lin Yunwan had married into another family, she surely wouldn't be as good as the Lu family of the Wu Ding Marquis Residence. After all, a living camel is better than a dead horse.

He would do everything in his power, pay any price, just to marry her back!

"Yunwan, wait for me, wait for me to come and marry—"

Qi Zaijun ran out, looking warily at the unfamiliar man. He rushed to Lin Yunwan's side, shielding her, and asked loudly, "Mother, who is he? Is he trying to harm you?"

"Mother?"

Lu Zhengliu's confused mind started to clear up a bit.

Cuiqin spoke coldly, "Since you are from the Wu Ding Marquis Residence, how dare you come to the Xingguo Duke's Residence and cause trouble? Our princess is not someone you can insult!"

Lu Zhengliu stared blankly at Lin Yunwan.

"You... Are you the Princess Huan? Did you marry Prince Huan?"

His mind went blank.

How could this happen!

"This, this is..."

The stewardess of the Xingguo Duke's Residence also followed out, her legs trembling with fear.

The servant behind Lu Zhengliu had long been kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, crawling to find the Chen family's young master.

The stewardess hurriedly walked to Lu Zhengliu's side and whispered, "This is the Princess Huan. What madness are you displaying in front of the princess!"

Lu Zhengliu remained motionless, his entire body frozen.

Lin Yunwan, leading Qi Zaijun to leave, calmly told the stewardess, "This lunatic should be closely monitored by the Xingguo Duke's Residence in the future."

"Yes, yes... the servant understands."

The stewardess spoke tremblingly with fear.

Lu Zhengliu watched with wide eyes as Lin Yunwan took her son away.

Not only had she married another man, but she also had a child.

She married into the royal family and gave birth to a royal grandson. Her current status was now beyond reach.

As for him, he would never be able to remarry her in this lifetime.

A pang of pain struck Lu Zhengliu's heart once again.
