Chapter 425: Divorce
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“That Ye Yin dared to snatch a woman from Duke Lang. He’s really bold. I’m afraid he won’t have much to live for in the future.”
When Wei Liao heard this, he couldn’t stop laughing.
He did not expect that his casual nonsense would spread among the people and be taken seriously.
When he thought about how the usually cold and indifferent Duke Lang had beco a cuckold, Wei Liao felt that this matter was too much fun!
At this mont, Yu Niaoniao understood everything.
She placed the porcelain bowl hard on the low table and glared at the man in front of her.
“You deliberately ntioned Ye Yin to that day to ruin my reputation, right?”
Wei Liao smiled. “Who asked you to bump my chin? Of course, I have to teach you a lesson.”
Yu Niaoniao was so angry that her face turned green.
“Just you wait!”
With that, she stood up and ran away angrily.
Wei Liao wanted to chase after her, but the lady boss stopped him.
“Sir, you haven’t paid the bill!”
Wei Liao could only take out his pouch to pay.
However, by the ti he finished paying the bill and looked for Yu Niaoniao, she had already left on the donkey.
Wei Liao scolded angrily, “Last night, we agreed to split the bill equally at Green Garden, but you ran away. In the end, the bill was all on . You ran away again today. In the end, I was the one paying. So you’re treating like a fool!”
When Yu Niaoniao rushed to the Justice Departnt on her donkey, the Eagle Guards guarding the door were surprised to see her.
“Didn’t Your Highness say that you’re resting today? Why are you here?” Yu Niaoniao said, “I have an urgent matter to discuss with Duke Lang.”
With that, she crossed the threshold and ran into the Justice Departnt. She was originally puzzled and did not understand why Xiao Juan had beco so awkward these few days.
He deliberately avoided her and was unwilling to talk to her much. He was also indifferent to her initiative. So it was because Xiao Juan had believed those rumors outside!
He must have thought that she had soone outside and was unhappy. That was why he suddenly beca so cold. Since she had already found the root of the problem, she had to resolve it!
Yu Niaoniao ran to the door of Mirror House in a hurry, planning to explain the matter to Xiao Juan.
She was about to knock when she heard Xiao Juan and ng Xizhou’s voices coming from the house.
ng Xizhou said, “Are you really not going to bring the Princess Consort along to Liangzhou this ti?”
Xiao Juan said, “It’s better for her to stay in the Imperial Capital.”
Yu Niaoniao’s hand stopped in midair and did not knock.
What was Xiao Juan doing in Liangzhou? Why hadn’t he ntioned this to her?
And why had he abandoned her?
ng Xizhou said, “But it will take at least half a year for you to go. Can you really be at ease leaving the Princess Consort here?”
This ti, there was a long silence before she heard Xiao Juan’s voice.
“There’s nothing to worry about. She is a woman and could not do anything. If we bring her along, she will only drag us down.”
ng Xizhou said, “Don’t say that. The Princess Consort has done a lot.”
Xiao Juan said, “Alright, I’ve already decided on this matter. She’ll stay obediently in the Imperial Capital and not cause trouble for us.”
His tone was cold and unyielding as if he really treated Yu Niaoniao as a burden.
Yu Niaoniao looked at the closed door in front of her and felt indescribably uncomfortable.
She slowly withdrew her hand, lowered her head in frustration, turned around, and walked down the steps.
In the house, Xiao Juan sat behind the desk.
Although he was speaking to ng Xizhou, his eyes were on the closed door.
He could hear the fading footsteps outside clearly. ng Xizhou also turned to look at the door and asked.
“Was there soone outside just now?”
Xiao Juan did not answer.
His senses were naturally sharper than those of ordinary people. He had already sensed Yu Niaoniao’s presence when she approached the door.
He had deliberately said those words to her just now.
This ti, he went to Liangzhou on an order.
Liangzhou was the fief of Princess Ni Yang and his hotown. It was the place where he was born and where he endured the darkest years of his life. That place was the source of his nightmares. It was a past he never wanted to look back on.
He did not want to bring Niaoniao along.
He did not want Niaoniao to fall into that dark quagmire.
Initially, he was still in a difficult position, not knowing what to do to make Niaoniao stay obediently in the Imperial Capital.
Knowing her, if she found out about his trip to Liangzhou, she would want to accompany him.
Now it was all good.
She would be disappointed in him after what he’d said. She probably wouldn’t want to see him again for a while. Naturally, she wouldn’t accompany him to Liangzhou.
ng Xizhou waited for a while. Seeing that Duke Lang had no other instructions, he silently retreated.
After he left, only Xiao Juan was left in the room.
He turned to look at the vertical screen beside him.
In the past, he could see Yu Niaoniao’s figure on the other side through the screen.
But now he could see nothing.
Niaoniao probably didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
However, in the next mont, he heard familiar footsteps.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Niaoniao storm in.
Xiao Juan was very surprised.
Hadn’t she already run away in anger? Why was she back?
Yu Niaoniao was indeed very sad.
She racked her brain to earn money so she could put together the drama under imnse pressure. She did all that because she wanted to help Xiao Juan change his image in the hearts of the commoners. She wanted more people to understand how good he was.
However, Xiao Juan actually said that she was a burden and ignored her thoughts. He had insisted on abandoning her and she had nowhere to vent her grievance and disappointnt.
She originally wanted to leave the Justice Departnt and not see Xiao Juan again.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she beca.
She had done nothing wrong. Why should she run?
Taking a step back, even if she really wanted to run, she had to make things clear to Xiao Juan before she ran, lest outsiders who did not know better thought that she was being unreasonable.
She, Yu Niaoniao, would not suffer this grievance!
Yu Niaoniao rushed over and slapped the desk.
“Who did you just say was a burden? Try saying that again!”
When she said this, she was very imposing. Her eyes were burning like a small steel cannon that was ready to fire. As long as Xiao Juan said that she was a burden again, she would imdiately explode on the spot and kill him!
Xiao Juan did not say anything.
Those words just now were not from his heart. He could not say it in front of Niaoniao.
Yu Niaoniao pointed at him. “Don’t think you can get away with pretending to be dead! You have to make things clear to today. Otherwise, don’t live like this!”
After a long ti, Xiao Juan spoke.
“Since you heard everything, why ask again?”
Yu Niaoniao was exasperated and spoke without thinking.
“Alright! Then I won’t ask anymore. Let’s not live like this anymore. Just write the divorce letter now. We’ll split up now. In the future, you walk your sunny path and I’ll cross my wooden bridge. Let’s not interact with each other anymore!”
When he heard her ntion divorce, Xiao Juan’s expression finally changed.
He just wanted to anger Yu Niaoniao so she would stay away. He didn’t want to divorce her.
Yu Niaoniao placed the pen and paper heavily in front of him.
“Hurry up and write!”
Realizing that the matter was out of control, Xiao Juan panicked. “Niaoniao, don’t be rash.”
“You’re not going to write, right? Then I’ll write!” Yu Niaoniao picked up her pen and prepared to write the divorce letter.
Xiao Juan pressed her hand down. “Let explain.”
Yu Niaoniao looked up. Her eyes were red as if she would cry at any mont.
“Then explain!”
