"Among the seven sins, disobedience to parents is an act of rebellion; jealousy is an act of disorder in the family. I thought Lu Xiyun would repent, but I didn't expect that she would dare to offend her ancestors, become jealous, and disturb the peace and order of the house. This woman has already committed two of the seven sins, and she really can't let her go..." Shen Rui stood up, put one hand behind his back, shook his head and frowned, a look of determination already appearing on his face.
Qing'er has been following Shen Rui, the minister, and is best at guessing Shen Rui's thoughts. Hearing what Shen Rui said, coupled with his solemn face and determined eyes, he had already guessed Shen Rui's plan, and asked cautiously: "Master , are you planning to...divorce the third wife?"
Shen Rui did not immediately answer Qing'er's words, but turned to ask Wei Zijin for his opinion: "Zijin, what do you think?"
Wei Zijin didn't know whether he wanted to test his attitude by asking for his opinion at this time, or if he had other expectations. He said calmly: "I must have already made up my mind on what to do, so why bother asking me again?"
She met Shen Rui's eyes calmly, and Shen Rui saw the flash of ridicule in her eyes. At that moment, Shen Rui felt ashamed that she had seen through her thoughts, and along with it, There is a strange feeling.
He has met countless beauties. Even when facing Liu Yiyi, a former famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, he only admired and favored her, but he had never been so embarrassed by being seen through!
Shen Rui coughed low, and for the first time avoided her penetrating gaze, and said to Qing'er in a deep voice: "Lu Xiyun is just a concubine, and it's not my turn to write a divorce letter yet. There is a nunnery in Lingnan, which is suitable for self-cultivation. You arrange the carriage and send her to Lingnan!"
Qing'er was surprised. Although he had expected that Lord Shangshu would drive the third lady out of the house, he never expected that Lord Shangshu would ask the third lady to go to such a remote place in Lingnan!
"Master Shangshu, are the maids and slaves in the third lady's yard going to leave the house with the third lady?" Qing'er asked carefully before leaving.
If by chance the Lord Chancellor becomes soft-hearted and wants to take the third lady back to his home, the third lady cannot be left without someone to serve her!
"No need, those who were servants of Shangshu Mansion had no fault, why should they follow her to a place like Lingnan to suffer?" Shen Rui waved his hand and said coldly: "Since it was she who proposed to send the unknown person far away in the first place. She belongs to the government, so now it’s up to her to take responsibility for what she said!”
"I will make arrangements now..." Qing'er heard that Master Shangshu did not let the third lady Lu Xiyun take any of his servants out of the house even though he knew that it was a long way to Lingnan. The lady welcomed him back, nodded and took the order without hesitation.
Lu Xiyun, who had her hands tied, was originally looking forward to seeing Shen Rui again to arouse his pity. However, when she learned that Shen Rui was going to send her to a nunnery in Lingnan, her hands and feet suddenly became cold.
Concubine Ji who had always made mistakes was sent to a place like Lingnan, where she was ignored until she died of old age. Lu Xiyun did not expect that Shen Rui would be so decisive. Knowing that there was no room for recovery, she cried bitterly and fainted.
This time, Shen Rui was no longer soft-hearted. He invited a doctor to revive Lu Xiyun, then sent a driver to the Shangshu Mansion to see Lu Xiyun off. From the beginning to the end, he never saw Lu Xiyun again.
