[Prince Jing quickly signed and sealed the document.]

King Jing paused, his pen still in hand. Although he had married Yanran, he still wanted to assist Chenyu and Ping'er.

Seeing his hesitation, the crowd began to whisper among themselves, "Prince Jing is truly devoted to Lady Yu."

[Yes! His Majesty originally intended to bestow a marriage upon Lady Yu and Prince Jing, but for some reason, Prince Jing instead married Princess Yanran?]

[Sigh! This can be considered a good match, after all, both of them are virgins, and Madam Yu is already a mother of two.]

One is a princess, the other a widow with a child. Which would you choose?

Shen Yu was furious. Her eyes instantly turned cold as she swept over everyone. Then, she walked up to Prince Jing, took the contract and placed it on the wooden tray. She then took a brush and wrote her name on it.

The moment she put down the brush, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and she felt incredibly relieved, finally able to sever ties with Prince Jing.

But when she saw that gloomy face and rosy eyes, it was as if she had swallowed a huge rock; her heart felt incredibly heavy, and she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, a cold voice rang out, "Mu Chenyu, since you wish to sever ties with me, fine, I will grant your wish. From this moment on, our relationship is severed, and we will be strangers if we ever meet again!"

After saying this, King Jing turned and left.

Shen Yu also left, but her legs were heavy and weak, and she walked slowly and sluggishly.

Passing through the riverside corridor, guests strolled in twos and threes, admiring the lotus flowers in the river. At the end of the lotus pond stood a pavilion.

Chen Yu climbed to the pavilion and looked out into the distance. What came into view was a lotus pond. There was a small boat on the river. Not far away, Mu Nanfeng was playing with An'er and Ping'er by the rockery. Chen Mo and Jia Lingyu were in the garden next to them.

Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned on the stone table and sat on the stone bench. The two children had already climbed onto the wooden railing of the pavilion, especially the younger one, who was wobbling on the railing.

Hongyu pulled the little boy in front of Chenyu and said, "Madam, Jiu'er and I will return these two children to Miss Jia, and then bring An'er and Ping'er back. Let's go back to the Hundred Herbs Garden."

Okay, Jia Lingyu is in the garden next to the artificial hill.

After saying this, Chen Yu leaned on the stone table and sat down on the stone bench.

Almost half an hour passed, and Hongyu and Jiu'er still hadn't returned. She stood up and looked around, only to see the crowd rushing to the same place—the pond under the pavilion.

Just then, shouts rang out: "Ah! Someone has fallen into the water! Whose young master is this?"
