Chapter 316: Release of Concubine

Living in such a luxurious palace, Qin Xiaoning's mood was mixed.

Thinking back to her past interactions with Lu Ji, she had known him when she was seven years old and had been with him day and night for more than ten years. He had always held her in the palm of his hand and doted on her, but she did not cherish him and cruelly abandoned him for her own future.

A proud man like Lu Ji must hate her to death in his heart.

The little woman felt a hint of regret in her heart.

But thinking of her own situation at the time, she began to blame Lu Ji for his inconsideration. She just didn't want to be inferior to Wang Fengyi and be bullied, so she left.

Even if he let Lu Ji down, it was understandable.

He should forgive her.

How could she know that he would be able to overthrow the Jiang family so quickly, defeat the insidious and cunning emperor, and seize power? If she could have predicted this, she would definitely not have left.

Qin Xiaoning lay on her back on the bed, looking at the magnificently carved roof of the hall and sighed heavily.

It was already late at night, but Lu Ji didn't come over.

Really just leave her here and ignore her.

Where did he go?
doing what?
Seeing that his wedding date with Wang Fengyi is approaching, could he be busy preparing for the wedding?
Did he stay in Shuwang for a few days to find her, or did he go to Wang Fengyi to explain?

It has only been two months. Could it be that Lu Ji really fell in love with that girl from the Wang family of Langya?
Qin Xiaoning's mind was in a mess and she felt more upset than ever before.

Thinking back to the past, even when Lu Ji was engaged to Wang Fengyi, she had never been so upset.

Because at that time, she was sure that Lu Ji was in love with her, and his heart was entirely with her, so she had nothing to fear.

But right now, she felt unsure.

When she was looking at Shu Wang, knowing that he refused to marry her, the little woman still thought about breaking up with him without hesitation, but her mood is different now.

Ultimately, I'm still unwilling to accept it.

I'm unwilling to give up such a powerful man to another woman.

Most importantly, Qin Xiaoning still has feelings for Lu Ji.

Otherwise, when Shu Wang was in love, with so many good guys showing their affection to her, she wouldn't have rejected them all.

I still can't forget Lu Ji. He's in my heart and I can't care about anyone else.

After thinking about this for a while, Qin Xiaoning finally couldn't help but call the housekeeper Fu Lai.

The old man bowed and walked into the hall, and asked Qin Xiaoning with a smile: "Madam called me, but what do you want me to do?"

She just wanted to ask where Lu Ji had gone?

When can you come over?

At this moment, for some reason, she really wanted to see him.

"Nothing much." Qin Xiaoning hesitated and said, "I just want to ask you who lives in this palace."

He was still giving Lu Ji the cold shoulder in front of the servants during the day, so now it was really difficult for the little woman to ask about Lu Ji's whereabouts.

Fu Lai said truthfully: "The prince has not yet married, and there is no proper master living in this mansion at the moment. The prince only comes here once in a while, and most of the time he stays in the Regent Hall in the palace."

"The prince is very busy with state affairs," Fulai added.

Qin Xiaoning cleared her throat and pretended to be casual: "So, the prince is also busy with government affairs in the palace now?"

"No." Fulai said, "When the prince went out, I heard the attendant who led the horse say that the prince was going to the Wang family."

Wang family?

Qin Xiaoning asked, "Did the prince go to the residence of the eldest son of the Wang family of Langya in the capital?"

"Yes." Fu Lai nodded.

Qin Xiaoning's heart sank immediately.

After sending Fu Lai away, she paced back and forth on the ground angrily for a long time. Lu Ji.

He really has changed his heart.

After leaving her here, he went to find Wang Fengyi impatiently.

This man, ah, is so heartless.

Then why am I still in love with him?

After giving birth to the child, she simply left him and never saw him again.

When she returns to Shuwang, she will get married and find a handsome young man to live happily with.

Qin Xiaoning was so angry when she thought that Lu Ji had fallen in love with Wang Fengyi.

If Lu Ji were in front of her right now, she would definitely scold him or even beat him up.

It's a pity that he is not here.

The little woman was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. Finally, she came to the table, spread out the rice paper, picked up the pen and wrote the "Letter to Release My Concubine".

He already likes someone else, why is he still clinging to her?

This man really was planning on having a beautiful wife and concubines and enjoying all the happiness.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but curse angrily: "How shameless!"

"Who messed with you again?"

A clear man's voice came from the door. Qin Xiaoning looked up suddenly and happened to meet Lu Ji's eyes.

The little woman looked at him coldly and rolled her eyes at him as expected.

Lu Ji was already used to the cold eyes of the little woman. He stepped into the hall, took off his coat, looked up at Qin Xiaoning again, and asked, "Are you practicing calligraphy?"

Qin Xiaoning ignored him and just looked at the half-written "Letter of Release". She didn't know how to start writing the rest.

While she was hesitating, Lu Ji walked towards her. Qin Xiaoning did not hide her expression, and the half-written "Letter of Release" was clearly seen in the man's eyes.

Lu Ji's expression froze, his deep eyes shrank again and again, and finally fell on Qin Xiaoning's face.

With doubt, listen to her explanation.

She had nothing to explain to him.

If he married someone else, she would not be able to be his concubine.

Under the man's gaze, the young woman picked up the pen again and finished writing the unfinished "Letter of Release from Concubine".

She picked it up and looked at it. Feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, she raised her hand and pressed her fingerprint on it, then handed the paper to Lu Ji.

Lu Ji didn't answer.

The little woman sneered: "Sign your name and seal it, and we will part ways from now on."

Lu Ji still didn't answer, but looked at her and asked: "Do you hate me so much?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled bitterly: "You are now the regent king, and there are countless people who are trying to curry favor with you. Why do you care whether a little girl like me hates you?"

Lu Ji was amused, and glared at her and said, "You should give me a reason for treating me like this."

"There's no reason." Qin Xiaoning said, "I just hate you."

Lu Ji frowned when he heard this: "When did you start to hate me?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he asked again: "Have you never liked me?"

As he said this, he smiled helplessly: "When you were with me before, didn't you say sweet words to me all day long saying that you liked me? Was it all perfunctory, right?"

She replied angrily, "It wasn't all perfunctory, it was just that I was living under someone else's roof at the time, so it was inevitable that I had to fawn on you, my husband."

Before she could finish, Lu Ji said, "So now that you can support yourself, you want to kick me out, right?"
