Madam Guan and Guan Baozhu quickly turned around and saw Lord Guan walking towards them.

Lord Guan glanced at Guan Xin with a complicated expression, then at Madam Guan and Guan Baozhu, and said indifferently, "You two go back to the courtyard first."

Guan Baozhu pouted and called out in dissatisfaction, "Dad!"

"go out!"

Lord Guan shouted loudly, and Madam Guan quickly pulled Guan Baozhu away.

"Mother, why are we leaving? What if Guan Xin complains?" Guan Baozhu was furious.

Madam Guan frowned and said coldly, "Baozhu, Guan Xin is just relying on the county princess to act arrogantly in the mansion these days. Now that the Bai family has fallen and the county princess has been expelled from the capital, do you think your father will tolerate her being so arrogant?"

"You've seen clearly how your father has treated her all these years. Don't worry, your father won't let her run wild. I think he might abandon her, and you will become the steward's only legitimate daughter!"

Guan Baozhu's eyes lit up!

At this moment, Guan Xin looked stubbornly at Lord Guan: "Father, make the decision. If you still want to exploit me like before, I will definitely not do it!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Guan sighed, "Xin'er, you look just like your mother!"

At this point, Lord Guan closed his eyes and his aged voice rang out: "This is your home. Don't say anything about severing ties anymore. Since it's your home, you can do whatever you want with it."

Guan Xin was stunned, looking at Master Guan in disbelief: "Why?"

Lord Guan moved his lips a few times and took out a letter from his bosom: "This was left to me by the county princess. She is so young, yet she sees things so clearly. I was wrong before."

Guan Xin took it and looked at the words inside accusing her father. It was as if his angry face was right in front of her. In an instant, Guan Xin laughed.

"Back then, I didn't dare to see you because you resembled your mother, and I tacitly accepted that your aunt treated you badly. I just didn't know how to face it. The county princess is right, I was cowardly. Are you willing to give your father a chance?"

Tears welled up in Guan Xin's eyes. Looking at Lord Guan's aged appearance, she slowly said, "Father, if you choose me, then I will not show them any mercy."

“I will fight back against Guan Baozhu and Guan Chang for bullying me, and I will also repay my aunt for everything she has done to me!”

Lord Guan nodded: "I will divorce my wife, but Xin'er, Baozhu and Chang'er are still young. I will discipline them properly in the future."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xin was stunned. Divorce?

Lord Guan took out several silver notes from his pocket: "I know you're managing the shop for the county magistrate and you're not short of money, but this is my token of appreciation. I'll give it to you every month from now on."

Guan Xin took the tube and watched Master Guan leave before sitting on the stone bench in a daze.

Meanwhile, Lord Guan found Lady Guan.

“Husband, please don’t scold Xin’er. Baozhu’s face is just a little swollen, it’s nothing serious.”

In the courtyard, Madam Guan spoke with a smile, though there was a hint of grievance in her eyes.

In the past, Lord Guan would have let Madam Guan discipline Guan Xin herself, but this time, Madam Guan's plan was going to fail.

"Here, take this."

After setting down his teacup, Lord Guan handed the letter of divorce directly to Madam Guan.

Madam Guan was taken aback, and took the book with a puzzled look. After opening it, her face turned pale, and she screamed, "Husband? What do you mean by this? Why are you divorcing me!"

Lord Guan glanced at Madam Guan and said indifferently, "Don't think I don't know what you've done to Xin'er all these years. You've exploited her, insulted her, and targeted her. Do you really think I haven't seen it?"

"I'll give you a letter of divorce, and we can part ways amicably. If you refuse, I'll have the Prefect of the Capital make the judgment, and don't blame me for not showing any consideration for our marriage then."

"As for Chang'er and Baozhu, you should visit them less often in the future. Because of you, these two children have been ruined!"

Lady Guan's face turned ashen at Lord Guan's words. She opened her mouth, but dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

At that moment, her heart was pounding. She understood Lord Guan and knew that he had made his decision, and that nothing she said would make a difference.

"Pack your things and leave. You'll get your due payment." Lord Guan stood up, turned, and left.

Guan Baozhu, pale-faced, slowly emerged from inside: "Mother, why did Father divorce you, Mother..."

Madam Guan held Guan Baozhu in her arms, weeping, but could not utter a single word.

Soon, the news of Madam Guan's divorce spread throughout the capital.

While Huang Lian remained in the capital, she was quite surprised. After putting down the medicinal herbs she was holding, she was about to go out to find Guan Xin when the steward informed her that Guan Xin had arrived.

"What happened?"

"You look thinner again."

The two spoke at the same time, and Guan Xin laughed: "Tuan Tuan wrote a letter scolding my father, which woke him up. There's nothing to say, but now I'm the head of the household."

Huang Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You were the one I was most worried about before Tuantuan left."

"You haven't said anything about yourself yet, you've lost so much weight!" Guan Xin looked at Huang Lian. "Shouldn't the toxins in your body be cleared out by now?"

Huang Lian nodded: "Yes, Grandpa also finds it unbelievable. He's currently arguing with the Emperor and wants to leave the palace to find Tuantuan."

“We can’t leave,” Guan Xin said slowly. “We have to protect the capital for Tuan Tuan.”

“I know,” Huang Lian smiled. “But Tuan Tuan has already written that they might abandon the capital.”

The tube core was quite surprised, but it didn't ask any further questions.

Meanwhile, Bai Tuantuan on the isolated island was busy with her own affairs, frequently going into the space.

"These flowers and plants are so beautiful. We don't have any like them here. Can we trade?"

[Sure!] The spoon wiggled its little feet, utterly bored. [It's all written above. Oh, right, two more interfaces are open.]

With a flick of her little hand, the ladle created two screens: [one a fantasy world, the other a matriarchal world.]

[Fantasy worlds involve a lot of trading. If it's a matriarchal society, I suggest you learn how they govern their countries.]

"I have a question," Bai Tuantuan said, puzzled. "Why did I set up the trading planes to appear one by one? And how do I make them appear?"

[You set this up yourself, who knows what you were thinking?] Bai Shao rolled her eyes, utterly helpless. [You said yourself that you couldn't show them all, that too many cheat abilities were boring, and now you're complaining there aren't enough?]

Bai Tuantuan touched her chin and slowly said, "Now that I know my true identity, why can't I reveal it all?"

[You've only awakened half of your Meng Po memories, so you obviously don't know how to unlock other trading dimensions. Give up!]

Bai Tuantuan: ……

Is it possible to travel back in time and knock out your past self?

What kind of mess is this?!
