Chapter 522: Cannon Fodder Princess Consort (15)

Listening to Luo Ning’s sarcasm, Lu Xiao started to feel anxious.

Luo Chun kept making eyes at Lu Xiao, signaling him to keep a close watch on Luo Ning and not let her run off to find the Emperor or scream out loud.

Lu Xiao was also afraid that Luo Ning might deliberately shout, and he reached out to pull her back, "Come back to the Prince Mansion with me first."

After saying that, he raised his hand, preparing to knock Luo Ning out.

But Luo Ning quickly stepped back two paces, "You won’t get away with this so easily today."

Then, the two female guards quickly stepped forward, shielding Luo Ning.

Seeing this, along with the unfamiliar faces of the two female guards, Lu Xiao suddenly felt as if he had grasped something important.

He noticed that Luo Ning was neither heartbroken nor struck down but carried a look of expectation.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Did you know all along?"

Then he remembered Luo Ning’s recent abnormal behavior and couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened during her last visit to the palace that made her discover his affair with Luo Chun.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have followed them here and stolen Luo Chun’s letter.

Luo Ning candidly nodded in admission, "Yes, I’ve known for a long time that you two were hooking up. I’ve been tolerating it, waiting to catch you in the act."

Seeing that Luo Ning had no intention of shouting, Lu Xiao asked with a stern face, "What are you trying to do?"

Without creating a scene, without collapsing into irrationality, but instead remaining so calmly indifferent and even saying that she intended to catch them in adultery.

It could only mean that Luo Ning wanted something, or was planning to use this leverage against them.

But why did it feel so wrong to him?

Luo Ning knew that Lu Xiao was a smart man, and since it was still during the royal banquet, it was not suitable for them to be out for too long.

She got straight to the point, "I want a divorce. Give me a divorce paper, and I won’t expose your affair."

"What?" Both Lu Xiao and Luo Chun said in disbelief.

Lu Xiao’s face looked absolutely terrible, and he glared at Luo Ning through gritted teeth, "You actually want to divorce me?"

Luo Ning nodded, "No nonsense, if I don’t divorce you, do you think I can endure my own husband cheating with my sister?"

She cast a disdainful glance at Lu Xiao and Luo Chun, "You might not be disgusted, but I’m utterly disgusted."

Lu Xiao was provoked by her disdainful look, "Don’t even think about it!"

Luo Chun had never imagined that Luo Ning could not stand it anymore and wanted a divorce, a sense of triumph bloomed inside her once again.

However, seeing Lu Xiao’s reluctance to divorce, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She looked at Luo Ning with a helpless expression, "Sister, what happened between the Prince and me was within the bounds of propriety, it’s not what you think."

"Getting a divorce is no joke. You should stop this nonsense."

She knew very well how much Luo Ning loved Lu Xiao.

Luo Ning would rather die for him; Luo Chun didn’t believe she would willingly give up her position as Princess Rui and Lu Xiao.

This current act must only be to gain something.

But Luo Chun wondered, if the man’s heart wasn’t with her, what good would it do to fight for him?

Luo Ning glanced coldly at Luo Chun, "I’m talking to him, you shut up."

Luo Chun trembled with rage, "How dare you! Don’t forget who I am."

Luo Ning looked at her with disdain, "Of course, I haven’t forgotten. So, has the Emperor been informed that you’ve made him a cuckold?"

"You!" Luo Chun was choked up.

Luo Ning didn’t want to waste time with her; her goal today was to get a divorce.

She threatened Lu Xiao, "Prince, I have only one condition for divorce. Otherwise, I’ll just go to the Emperor and reveal your affair."

Luo Chun snorted coldly, "You say we have an affair, does that make it true? Where’s the evidence?"

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "You’re so foolish and so ugly, yet Lu Xiao could fancy you, how blind can he be?"

Her words successfully turned Lu Xiao’s face a mix of dark and livid with anger.

Luo Chun was also furious, if it weren’t for the wrong timing, she would have punished Luo Ning using her status as a Palace Concubine.

"How simple it is to prove it, all I need to do is shout, and the Emperor’s guards will come running, can you clearly explain why you two were secretly embracing behind the rockery?"

Luo Ning pointed to Lu Xiao’s clothing, "There are still tears of Princess Consort Chun on there."

Then she raised her hand and shook her sleeve, "The letter in my sleeve is also evidence."

"If there was no affair and no connection between you, would a Palace Concubine allow a Prince from another house to help deliver a letter to her birth mother?"

"You can go out and ask, who would believe such a story?"

Lu Xiao and Luo Chun’s facial expressions shifted again, unable to refute Luo Ning’s words.

Lu Xiao had already realized that the two maids protecting Luo Ning were practitioners.

Without Luo Ning shouting, he simply couldn’t subdue her quickly.

He took a deep breath, his face still ugly, and asked Luo Ning, "Do you really want to leave me that much?"

Luo Ning looked at him coldly, "You have someone else in your heart, and you’ve been secretly consorting with each other, using me as a shield all this time, if I don’t leave you, then I’m just degrading myself."

"I find it particularly disgusting, so I can’t continue living with you."

Lu Xiao felt an inexplicable discomfort when he heard these words, as well as a sense of panic like he was about to lose something.

"But you took the initiative to bring concubines into my life, and even asked me to father children with them, don’t you find that disgusting?" he couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Ning sneered, "That’s because I discovered your affair and didn’t want to be with you anymore."

"When I loved you, I treasured you, I couldn’t stand others touching you, or you touching other women."

"Now that I no longer love you, sleep with as many women as you want, naturally you will, because after the divorce, out of sight, out of mind."

She was speaking on behalf of the original body.

Lu Xiao was very uncomfortable, he hated to see Luo Ning act so indifferent towards him.

Luo Ning impatiently said, "Stop beating around the bush, will you agree to the divorce or not? If someone comes later, you can go to prison and be lovebirds there."

Lu Xiao didn’t want a divorce, "Do you really have to push me this far?"

Luo Ning looked at him with exasperation, "Are you even a man? Can’t you be decisive? The one you like isn’t me, dragging this out is pointless."

"I’ll count to three, and if you haven’t decided by then, I’m going to call for help."

Seeing Luo Ning so resolute, Luo Chun was taken aback.

She wondered to herself, perhaps this sister really couldn’t tolerate any wrongdoing?

However, she was still pleased to have disrupted the marriage of the sister she had always disliked.

After all, every time she heard about how Prince Rui doted on the Princess Consort, her heart felt as if it were being cut.

Back when she was in the boudoir, she had always been fond of Lu Xiao, but due to her status, Luo Ning had the advantage.

So, with fear and nervousness, she tugged at Lu Xiao’s sleeve, "We mustn’t let the Emperor find out about our affair."

Luo Ning also started counting, "Three," "Two," "One."

She finished counting and pointed to her mouth, indicating she was about to shout.

Lu Xiao closed his eyes, "Fine, I agree to your terms."

"I will write the divorce paper after we return to the Prince Mansion," he added.

Luo Ning knew this was not the place to argue, "Fine, then let’s go back to the Prince Mansion."

"Hand over the letter first," Luo Chun didn’t want to leave the evidence in Luo Ning’s possession.

Luo Ning shook her head, "This is my amulet for divorce, without the divorce paper, I prefer to keep the letter."

"Once we get back to the Prince Mansion, I’ll exchange the letter for the divorce paper."

Lu Xiao, with a grim face, asked, "Are you really so eager to divorce me?"

Luo Ning nodded, "Obviously, I don’t want to wait another day."

She turned around to leave first, "Let’s go, back to the Prince Mansion."

Watching her leave with the maids, Lu Xiao gave Luo Chun a reassuring look and followed after her.
