He Lanyi returned home in high spirits as the sun set, carrying a food box. As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Yanyan, I bought your favorite today..."

"This servant, Furong, greets the young master!"

He Lanyi frowned, looking at the uninvited guest in the room, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you?"

Furong bowed gracefully to him again, raised her head and looked at him shyly, and said hesitantly, "This servant is Furong. The old lady sent me here to serve you, young master."

"I don't need it! Get out!"

"Young Master?"

"Get out!" He looked at her with a sinister gaze. "Don't make me say it again!"

Li Yunyan came out of the inner room and gently advised, "Furong is a person close to Grandmother, so husband should treat her with courtesy!"

He Lanyi slammed the food box down on the table, walked closer, and asked her, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunyan raised her eyes, her gaze devoid of any warmth. "Does my husband not understand? My husband is lonely by his side. From today onwards, I will take charge and elevate Furong to be my husband's concubine."

Furong beamed with joy and curtsied in gratitude, saying, "This servant thanks you, Madam!"

"Get out of here!" He Lanyi roared at Furong, his eyes blazing with fury.

Furong was frightened by his sinister face. How could the usually gentle and polite Second Young Master have such an expression on his face?

"Young Master?"

Qingyin, who was outside the door, couldn't hold back any longer!

She heard that her son-in-law had already turned her away several times, so he probably wouldn't accept this concubine! Her anger subsided slightly.

She ran straight into the room, grabbed Furong, and dragged her outside.

"Come out here!"

After pulling the person out, they thoughtfully closed the door.

Finally, only the two of them remained in the room. He Lanyi grabbed Li Yunyan's shoulder and demanded, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to force a woman on me?"

This is unfair to Li Yunyan. Although she didn't want to live with him anymore, she also disliked the ancient system of having three wives and four concubines.

It was the old lady who forced it on her because she couldn't get pregnant for so long!

She won't take the blame for something that wasn't her fault!

Li Yunyan truthfully said, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. It is because Yunyan is incompetent and unable to bear children for the Helan family that my grandmother is anxious and specially found Furong to come here to share my worries and serve my husband."

"This isn't your fault! You know perfectly well..."

“I have promised to keep my husband’s secret, and I will not break my promise.”

"Yanyan!" He Lanyi hugged her tightly and declared affectionately, "I don't want anyone else! I only want you!"

Li Yunyan took a step back, pushed away his embrace, and sincerely suggested, "Husband, why don't you give it a try? Perhaps if it were another woman, your illness could be cured without medicine!"

He Lanyi was angered by her again!

He pulled her back by the waist, angrily questioning, "Li Yunyan, don't you have a heart? You are my wife! Yet you push me to another woman, don't you feel even a little bit sad?"

He grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, his eyes darkening. "Can't you feel my feelings?!"

Li Yunyan felt the violently beating heart beneath her palm and sighed softly.

She sensed it, but she really couldn't wait any longer!

With less than six months left, she didn't have time to play this guessing game with him anymore! He clearly had feelings for her, so why wouldn't he let her treat him?

She was tired and didn't want to guess anymore.

Li Yunyan withdrew her hand, stared at him intently, and parted her lips slightly.

"He Lancheng, let's get a divorce!"

"What did you say?!"

He Lanyi never imagined he would hear the word "divorce" from her! He thought that at most she would cry, make a fuss, throw a tantrum, or ignore him, and he could accept all of that!

If he had more time, he would definitely tell her everything!

She'll understand him then!

Unexpectedly, she wouldn't even give him a little more time! She was cruel enough to want a "divorce" from him!

Li Yunyan had recently learned a lot about the divorce. She took out the divorce agreement she had written in advance from her bosom and unfolded it to show him.

“After our divorce, I will not take a single penny from the Helan family. From now on, we will part ways peacefully and owe each other nothing.”

"I won't agree!"

He Lanyi didn't even glance at it before tearing the divorce papers to shreds.

A bloodthirsty glint rose in his eyes as he stared at her with murderous intent, saying viciously, "You won't leave me!"

Li Yunyan wasn't upset that the divorce papers were gone; this was just the first option.

She continued, "I am Li Shi. Since marrying into the Helan family, I have been unable to bear children, which violates one of the seven grounds for divorce. I am deeply apprehensive and request to be divorced!"

“Or,” she raised her reddened eyes, “you can just divorce me!”

"Li Yunyan!"

He Lanyi was furious. Every word she spoke was like a knife, viciously stabbing into his heart.

He roughly grabbed the back of her neck, forcing her eyes to meet his. "You're in such a hurry to leave me, are you going to find that kid?!"

Who I look for is none of your business!

"Do you believe I'll kill him?!"

He Lanyi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Li Yunyan knew that if she protected Su Zhan at this moment, she might really kill him.

She scoffed and replied, "Even if you kill him, there will be other men. Can you kill all the men in the world?"

He Lanyi was so angry that his blood boiled. "Li Yunyan! You keep talking about other men, but don't forget! You are still my wife!"
