Chapter 366: Three hundred sixty-five, the warmth and coldness of human relationships
"Hanmo, look!" Luo Shu happily handed over the newly refined Shielding Talisman to Lu Hanmo’s face.
Lu Hanmo took the Talisman and looked at it, "A Level Six Talisman, Shushu, you really are amazing!" With Shushu being so outstanding, he knew he needed to work even harder himself.
"Then let me wear it and try it out to see if you can still discern my Cultivation." Luo Shu draped a Pendant Talisman around her neck.
Lu Hanmo waited until Luo Shu had hung the Shielding Talisman properly and released his Divine Sense, immediately feeling it blocked by the Talisman, a slight smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, "I can’t tell anymore."
"Let me hang one on you too." Luo Shu picked up another Pendant Talisman, stood up, and hung the Shielding Talisman around Lu Hanmo’s neck.
"I also can’t discern your Cultivation now, this Pendant Talisman is really too good," Luo Shu said joyfully.
Lu Hanmo smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold Luo Shu’s hand as they walked towards the palace.
Zhao Xiaoli walked out of the registration office, lost and disoriented, wandering aimlessly on the street. At this moment, she felt as if her world had completely collapsed!
Yesterday, she was still the enviable Madam He. Today, however, she had become a Divorced Woman who was scoffed at and looked down upon. And she didn’t even know why it happened.
Zhao Xiaojuan saw Zhao Xiaoli walking towards her and hurried over, grabbing her clothes and demanding, "Why did you divorce my brother-in-law? Do you know? Our house has been taken away, they drove us out, and we now have nowhere to live. You go back and beg brother-in-law, beg him to forgive you, and by all means, remarry him."
Ever since her sister married He Youhua, their family’s life wasn’t wealthy, but they had no worries about food and clothing. But now, the He Family even took back the house they gave to their family, and they weren’t allowed to take any of their belongings, how would their entire family live from now on?
Zhao Xiaoli looked at Zhao Xiaojuan, yanked her hand off her collar, and glared fiercely at her, "If you hadn’t insisted on snatching Madam Lu’s clothes, why would Youhua have divorced me? You caused all of this!" If she hadn’t been too kind to her family, allowing them to take whatever they wanted, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. But now it was all too late!
"Have you gone mad? How can you blame me for this? If anyone’s to blame, it’s the shop assistant who wouldn’t let me try on the clothes, if it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have had a conflict with Madam Lu, and brother-in-law wouldn’t have had to come." Zhao Xiaojuan thought of the slaps she received and itched with hatred. But now her sister wasn’t remarried to brother-in-law, she couldn’t even take her revenge.
"She said that dress was reserved for Madam Lu, it was you who insisted on trying it on, making me call Youhua over." Zhao Xiaoli had now figured out the cause and effect, but what was the use? It was too late for regrets!
Zhao Xiaojuan’s eyes shifted, suggesting, "Since brother-in-law is so afraid of Madam Lu, let’s go beg Madam Lu." She had gotten used to living in the city, and now the thought of going back to the countryside was unbearable for her.
On hearing this, Zhao Xiaoli’s eyes lit up. That’s right! It was because of Madam Lu that Youhua divorced her, so as long as Madam Lu didn’t pursue the matter, Youhua wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
"But where do we find Madam Lu? Will she even see us?" Zhao Xiaoli was anxious, but helpless. How could a nobody like her get an audience with the high and mighty Madam Lu?
"Sister, don’t you know many important people? Call them and ask, you’re sure to find out where the Lu family is," suggested Zhao Xiaojuan. As long as her sister could return to the He family, she would have a big house to live in and new clothes to wear.
Zhao Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Let’s go make a call." She was resorting to desperate measures now, even if the hope was faint, she didn’t want to give up just like that.
The two of them entered a shop, saw a telephone on the counter, and walked in.
Zhao Xiaoli thought carefully, then picked up the phone and dialed out.
When the other side answered, Zhao Xiaoli quickly said, "Hello! I’m Zhao Xiaoli, please let Third Madam Xu take the phone."
"Please hold on!" The other side responded and left.
Soon the person came back, picked up the phone and said, "Our Madam says she’s not in." After saying that, she hung up the phone. It was clear how little they cared to even pretend to consider Zhao Xiaoli’s request.
Zhao Xiaoli put down the phone and shook her head dejectedly, then picked up the phone again and dialed out.
"Hello! I am Zhao Xiao..." Before she could finish, the person on the other side hung up the phone.
Zhao Xiaoli stood there dumbfounded, listening to the continuous busy signal on the phone. She truly didn’t know whether to continue making calls.
"Sister, don’t get discouraged, try again," Zhao Xiaojuan encouraged from the side. This was their only hope; they couldn’t give up.
One phone call followed another until Zhao Xiaoli could no longer remember any phone numbers. Finally, she despairingly put down the phone and left the shop.
"Sister!" Zhao Xiaojuan caught up to Zhao Xiaoli. She wasn’t willing to give up just like that.
Zhao Xiaoli turned around and gave Zhao Xiaojuan a lifeless look, "Forget it!" Now she finally understood the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Without her previous status, she was nothing. Even those who used to fawn over her now ridiculed her without any pretense.
"Do you really plan to give up just like that?" Zhao Xiaojuan said unwillingly. She didn’t want to return to the countryside, to live in a drafty shack. She didn’t want to marry a farmer who only knew hard work, like her mother.
"What difference does it make if I don’t give up?" Zhao Xiaoli said with a sneer.
"Let’s think of another way, there must be something we can do. Plus, Xiaoshang and Xiao Yi are still with the He family, you’re their mother. Brother-in-law might remarry you for the sake of the children," Zhao Xiaojuan persuaded.
Thinking of her children, Zhao Xiaoli couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
"I might be able to help you solve your problem," a deep voice with a hint of menace sounded behind the two.
The Zhao sisters looked up and saw a man wearing a hat, his face unclear, standing before them, "Who are you?"
"Someone here to help you," said the man, looking at them, the corners of his mouth slowly curling into a sinister smile, "As long as you follow my arrangements, I can let you live the life you desire again."
