Chapter 492 Entangled with Li Wenxun Until Death!

Chapter 492: Stuck with Li Wenxun for Life!

Lu Hanyi made a huge spectacle of herself at the banquet.

She completely embarrassed Li Wenxun in front of everyone.

Wei Shi watched the two bicker with gleeful spite, while the Li matriarch and patriarch fumed in rage.

The matriarch clutched her chest and pointed at Lu Hanyi, shouting, "You’re just a spiteful hag!"

"So what if I’m a hag? I *am* a hag!" Lu Hanyi threw her chopsticks down. "As long as I’m here, let’s see who dares to take my son’s house!"

Looking at the lavish feast before her, Lu Hanyi felt a blinding rage rise within her.

In front of everyone, she flipped the table over with a crash.

"You—you—you!" The matriarch trembled as she pointed at her. "Get rid of her! Wenxun, get rid of this lunatic!"

"You dare divorce me?" Lu Hanyi planted her hands on her hips, without a shred of fear. "If you dare divorce me, I’ll call my elder sister and brother over to see if there’s any right in this world! A father who doesn’t provide for his son but instead tries to steal his house—your Li family has no shame at all!"

The moment these words left her mouth, the entire room fell silent, especially the Li matriarch and patriarch, who immediately shut their mouths.

It was simple—Lu Hanyi had a powerful maternal family!

Normally, she never asked for favors or help, refusing to rely on them even slightly. But now, her formidable family had her back.

Even though Lu Hanyi was hated by all, they still didn’t dare to divorce her!

If her family were to intervene, it would only prove them to be in the wrong.

Wei Shi then spoke up with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how could we ever divorce you? This matter was simply Second Brother’s lack of consideration. Shou Ye’s house is part of Yin Yin’s dowry from her family—of course, it’s unreasonable for a father-in-law to move in!"

"I do recall something, though. Recently, I saw a small courtyard listed for rent at the brokerage. Why don’t you and your family rent it first as a temporary arrangement, Second Brother, and buy a house later?"

Mediating, Li Wenxun muttered, "You’re right, sister-in-law."

At this moment, he had his pride crushed.

His entire life had been spent trying to prove himself in front of the Li family. He had passed the imperial examination at twenty—so young and accomplished! If only he had a virtuous wife to support him, his future would have been bright!

Yet in the end, he had fallen to such a state. Nearing forty, he was merely a lowly treasurer, without even enough money to buy a house in the Imperial City.

And worst of all, he had married this woman who was nothing but a humiliation!

The gazes of his father, mother, and elder brother bore down on him, shattering his pride.

Why had he ever married a woman like Lu Hanyi?!

Triumphant, Lu Hanyi scowled at the disgusted faces around the table before taking Li Shouye and Xu Yinyin home.

As they left the Li residence, Li Shouye glanced worriedly at his mother. "Mother, was it really necessary to pick a fight with Father like this?"

"He brought this upon himself—he came looking for trouble!" Lu Hanyi spat viciously. "Now that they’ve stepped onto *my* turf, how could I let them off easy? I’ll make them pay for every grievance they’ve caused me!"

"Shou Ye, starting tomorrow, I’m moving into their new courtyard!" She sneered. "Divorce me? So he can frolic with his lowborn concubines without me? Dream on! Let’s see how I deal with them!"

She *could* choose to divorce Li Wenxun—now that she didn’t have to rely solely on her maternal family for shelter, with her filial son grown and able to support her, no one could drive her away if she clung to him.

But Lu Hanyi would *never* agree to a divorce. If she divorced, wouldn’t that just let Li Wenxun and his ilk get off scot-free?

She had her life ruined by him, so she would be bound to him for the rest of her life—she would never let them go!

Her eyes blazed with battle fury, determined to take Li Wenxun and his concubines down!

Li Shouye and Xu Yinyin shared a look upon hearing this.

It had to be said, their aunt’s guess was absolutely correct.

Now that Li Wenxun was back, Lu Hanyi wouldn’t have time to bother the two of them.

She would reserve all her energy for Li Wenxun!

That night, at the Ningyang Marquis’s residence.

Lu Lingyun listened as Xu Yinyin told her about the incident Lu Hanyi had caused that day.

She gave a small smile.

"You can relax now. Your mother-in-law won’t have the time to bother you two anymore."

Xu Yinyin nodded gratefully at this.

Lu Lingyun then added, "If your mother-in-law plans to move into the rented place your father-in-law arranged tomorrow, give her more attendants. Make sure her food is cooked separately by your own people—don’t eat with them."

Xu Yinyin was puzzled. "Why?"

Her eyes darkened. "Just do as I say."

Li Wenxun was a man of vicious nature. Lu Hanyi had crushed his pride in front of everyone. A man like him would hold a grudge.

And he wouldn’t confront Lu Hanyi openly—he would strike from the shadows.

For instance, poisoning her, ensuring her death.

In her past life, despite her unwavering devotion to him, he had ultimately tampered with her medicine, intending to kill her.

This lifetime, let the two of them torment each other. Not only would Lu Hanyi make his life miserable, but she would also give Lu Hanyi a hand.

To ensure Li Wenxun was completely ruined.

The next day, Lu Hanyi moved out of Li Shouye’s home.

Xu Yinyin prepared three matrons, four head maids, and two capable stewards for her.

Seeing Xu Yinyin’s thoughtful arrangements, Lu Hanyi finally warmed up to her slightly.

"You silly... From now on, be good to my son. Support him wholeheartedly, don’t quarrel with him, and help Shou Ye more. Have your family assist him. I’ll be back to check on you."

Xu Yinyin: "..."

Li Shouye: "..."

Back then, no one had seen Lu Hanyi supporting her own husband like this. Now that she was a mother-in-law, her double standards were truly beyond criticism.

People like her were always self-serving. As a daughter-in-law, she despised her mother-in-law’s demands, yet as a mother-in-law, she imposed those same standards on her own daughter-in-law!

How could someone like her ever earn the affection of the younger generation?

Xu Yinyin quietly nodded and instructed the servants to help Lu Hanyi move her belongings.

After seeing Lu Hanyi leave, everyone in the household all let out a sigh of relief.

It was like getting rid of bad luck!

Lu Lingyun had no time to watch the big fuss over Lu Hanyi moving into Li Wenxun's home, as these days, Tong Nanyuan was about to give birth.

Early the next morning, a servant rushed over with urgent news from Lu Kuan's house—Tong Nanyuan's water had broken!

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyun grew extremely anxious. She called for her servants and hurried to Lu Kuan's home.

On the way, she asked Shuang Hong, "Did we get any word from Team Leader Qian?"

"Yes!" Shuang Hong said hurriedly, fetching them. "I heard a letter arrived from Jiangnan early this morning, but I haven't retrieved it yet!"

"Go get it quickly. I'll head to Kuan'er's place first."

"Yes, madam."
