Chapter 477: Think about how not to be divorced

"Xiao Jiuyue, you bitch!" Crazy jealousy surged into Mu Yinqiu's heart. Thinking about the hardships he had suffered in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in the past few years, Mu Yinqiu wished he could eat Xiao Jiuyue alive!

Why is it that her life is like hell on earth, but Xiao Jiuyue is still as high and mighty as before?

"Shut your mouth and take you to the teahouse next door." Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the teahouse on the side of the alley. It was not crowded at this time, otherwise, people would have to watch the fun again.

Mu Yinqiu's mouth was instantly blocked by a handkerchief, and Dong Gui directly dragged her to the teahouse nearby to have tea. When they arrived at the private room, Mu Yinqiu was still not let down, and she struggled frantically.

Xiao Jiuyue took the tea Luokui had just brewed for her, took a sip slowly, and said, "Mu Yinqiu, if you can't talk it out nicely, then just go back to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion."

Xiao Jiuyue's light words and the glance she raised made the struggling Mu Yinqiu pause. The calm Xiao Jiuyue in front of her made Mu Yinqiu feel like a madman.

Dong Gui pulled the handkerchief out of Mu Yinqiu's mouth, let go of her hand, threw the handkerchief away in disgust, and turned around to find that Mu Yinqiu had fallen to the ground. If it weren't for the maid Huanpei who supported her, Mu Yinqiu would have fallen to the ground.

"Xiao Jiuyue, it's you. You forced the Song family to divorce me, right?" Mu Yinqiu's eyes were red, and she looked at Xiao Jiuyue with jealousy. She staggered towards Xiao Jiuyue step by step: "You didn't marry Song Mingyuan back then, and now, you still want to marry, right?"

"Who told you I still want to get married?" Xiao Jiuyue shook the tea in her hand and looked up at Mu Yinqiu: "I am now the legitimate daughter of Marquis Cheng'en. Why should I become someone else's second wife? Not to mention the ruthless Yongchang Marquis Mansion!"

Speaking of the Yongchang Marquisate, Xiao Jiuyue had nothing good to say. If the Yongchang Marquisate was like the Cui family, they would directly express that if something happened to the Xiao family, they would be afraid of implicating the girls in the family and wanted to cancel the engagement. Xiao Jiuyue thought it was normal.

But when the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang came to see her, she wanted her to cancel the engagement voluntarily. This was a double-edged sword. Did the Marquis of Yongchang want to save face? Did she just ignore her life or death?

"Xiao Jiuyue, don't be so stubborn. You like the prince, you like Song Mingyuan, how could you not want to get married?" Mu Yinqiu looked at Xiao Jiuyue with suspicion. She didn't believe that Xiao Jiuyue, who was once the most praised engaged couple in Shengjing and was praised for having the best life, would not want to marry Song Mingyuan?

Although the Yongchang Marquisate had fallen into decline, Song Mingyuan was a man of great talent and modesty, and he had always enjoyed a good reputation in Shengjing. However...

"Heh." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head lightly and drank the tea in the cup. She put the cup down. The room was so quiet that even the sound of the cup being put down could be heard clearly.

Mu Yinqiu stared at her intently, and only heard her red lips slightly parted: "A good horse never turns back. After all, three-legged frogs are hard to find, and two-legged men are too many to choose from, right?"

"You..." Mu Yinqiu listened to her light words and felt that she was at a loss for words. She confirmed again: "You, really won't marry Song Mingyuan?"

"There's no need to drink this tea." Xiao Jiuyue didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she stood up and was about to leave.

"Xiao Jiuyue, you win!" Mu Yinqiu stumbled and fell onto a chair beside her. She bit her lip hard, unwilling to show weakness in front of Xiao Jiuyue. She said, "Since you don't want to get married, then tell the Song family clearly."

"Mu Yinqiu, the Song family wants to force you to divorce. That's just them trying to climb up the social ladder. It has nothing to do with me." Xiao Jiuyue said coldly. Looking at Mu Yinqiu's outwardly strong appearance, she tapped her fingers lightly on her desk. "You come to make trouble with me, why don't you think of a way to stop the Song family from divorcing!"

Mu Yinqiu felt as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away. She shook her head in despair: "It's useless."

After the divorce, it seemed like all that was left for her was... death.

Mu Yinqiu raised her eyes, her red eyes, tears that she had tried hard to hold back, gradually blurring the image of Xiao Jiuyue in front of her: "You are very lucky."

Lucky?

"Three years ago, the Xiao family was confiscated and exiled, and the women had to leave Beijing in poverty. Do you think that's lucky?" Xiao Jiuyue's back was straight, with a gleam in his eyes. If it was all due to luck, how much luck would it take?

"Far from the prosperity of Shengjing, falling from the clouds into the mud, with darkness all before you, do you think you are lucky?"

Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes. The Mu Yinqiu in front of her reminded her of her former sister who met a scumbag. When she wanted to start over, the scumbag ruined everything for her!

"Mu Yinqiu, if you were me, do you think you could hold on until the day you return to Shengjing?" Xiao Jiuyue's light question was like a mountain pressing down on Mu Yinqiu, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Mu Yinqiu clutched her chest tightly, breathing heavily. The Mu family was just a matter of her grandfather's forced retirement, and the attitude of the Yongchang Marquisate towards her had changed drastically. What if the Mu family was confiscated...

She can't survive.

Mu Yinqiu raised her head slowly with tears in her eyes, gritting her teeth and saying, "Xiao Jiuyue, if you were me, standing in my position, could you still stand up? You have the Xiao family behind you!"

She thought that Xiao Jiuyue could be protected so well because he had the support of the Xiao family!

"Mu Yinqiu, Mu Yinqiu, I will never go this far." Xiao Jiuyue turned around and sat down again.

"Oh, it's easy to talk when you're standing there. I can say that, too." Mu Yinqiu yelled at her, "Xiao Jiuyue, you're not me at all. You don't know what I've been through. What gives you the right to say that?"

After Mu Yinqiu finished yelling like crazy, she was as angry as a bull that was about to spit fire at any moment!

"Isn't it just that Song Mingyuan took a fancy to a concubine and wanted to take her in as his wife?" Xiao Jiuyue was talking about the incident when Mu Yinqiu burned the pleasure boat on the day of Qiqiao Festival.

Mu Yinqiu patted her chest heavily and said painfully, "They said I was childless, that I had no children, that I was unfilial to my parents-in-law, that I was jealous, that I..."

"If you have no children, then why not just give birth to one?" Xiao Jiuyue replied.

The words that Mu Yinqiu wanted to complain were instantly stuck in her throat. She stared at Xiao Jiuyue in disbelief, her lips moving. What was she going to say? Song Mingyuan didn't even sleep with her, so how could she get pregnant and give birth to a child alone?

"You mean, he doesn't want to touch you, so you can't have children, right?" Xiao Jiuyue saw her shocked expression and knew she was right. She curled her lips and smiled softly, "You can't have children, but can't the concubines in the backyard? For example, the one who asked you to set fire to the pleasure boat last time, can't she?"

"Xiao Jiuyue!" Mu Yinqiu gnashed her teeth in anger. She slammed the table heavily. "You just came here to laugh at me, didn't you?"

"Didn't you come to me on your own initiative?" Xiao Jiuyue wasn't frightened by Mu Yinqiu. "When you got married, you must have put a lot of thought into it, right? If you don't want to be divorced, then why not just put in a little more effort?"

Xiao Jiuyue reminded him, "I heard that the old man of the Mu family is no longer serving in the court. When you divorce, ask for more money. Don't be shy. Reputation is good for nothing except appearance!"
