Liu Yaozhen didn't say a word all the way from Zanmao Hutong to Cui's Mansion. She was very confused and the handkerchief she was holding tightly was damp with sweat from her palms.

When they arrived outside Cui's house, Liu Yaozhen suddenly grabbed Yu Jiao's hand and said, "Third sister, I'm a little scared..."

Liu Yaozhen used force, and Yu Jiao felt some pain from her grip. It was obvious that Liu Yaozhen was uneasy at the moment. Yu Jiao let her grip her hand and soothed her gently, "Sister, if you are too nervous, we can come back another day."

Liu Yaozhen shook her head, took a deep breath, and let go of Yu Jiao's hand. "No, today."

After rushing all the way to the capital, Yu Jiao finally arrived. Yu Jiao knew that she would definitely not wait until another day. Saying "something else" would be just the opposite of what she was doing.

The two men got off the carriage. The door of Cui's mansion was closed, and the maid went forward and knocked on the door.

A servant poked his head out from behind the door, and his face changed drastically when he saw Liu Yaozhen behind the maid. He hurriedly opened the door, called out "Young Madam" and then hurriedly stopped, as if he had just remembered that Liu Yaozhen was no longer the Second Young Madam of the Cui family. He stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to address Liu Yaozhen for a moment.

Seeing this, the other doorman quickly left quietly.

Cui Mubai had just finished drinking his medicine when he heard the doorman say that Liu Yaozhen had arrived. He lost control of the medicine bowl in his hand and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"Second Young Master? I think the Young Madam is about to enter the mansion." The doorman glanced at Cui Mubai's expression and reminded him in a low voice.

Cui Mubai stood up by holding the corner of the table and said to the servant, "Change my clothes and light some incense."

The maid hurriedly took clothes from the closet and lit some incense in the incense burner to dispel the smell of medicine in the room.

After changing his clothes, Cui Mubai looked at his complexion in the bronze mirror, raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks, rubbing some blood out of his paper-pale face.

After doing all this, he quickly took out the blood-stained handkerchief from his sleeve and asked the maid to take it and throw it away. Then he sat quietly at the table and poured a cup of tea with a calm expression.

When Liu Yaozhen walked in, she saw this usual scene. In the past, she and her husband often sat at this table in the room, drinking tea and appreciating paintings. However, now, when she entered this room, she was no longer the owner.

When Cui Mubai heard the footsteps, he couldn't help but look up. When their eyes met, it felt like a lifetime ago. But in just two or three months, everything had changed.

"You all go down." Cui Mubai said to the servants in the room.

All the servants left. Yu Jiao hesitated for a moment and followed them out of the house. If anything happened to Liu Yaozhen, she would still be in time if she was outside the door.

"Husband..." Since there was no one else in the room, Liu Yaozhen walked closer slowly and called out this one word. Her eyes were red. She said, "What happened to you? Why did you hide it from me? You are not feeling well, so I will accompany you to treat it. Why did you chase me away? Why did you want to divorce me when I am not here?"

Cui Mubai's pretended coldness collapsed in an instant. He lowered his eyes, hiding his heartache and reluctance, and said coldly, "I am in good health. I am divorcing you because you have never been pregnant. There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no offspring. You cannot give birth to children for my Cui family, which is one of the seven reasons for divorce. I wanted to divorce you, but Liu Cifu did not allow it, so I can only divorce you. From now on, you and I will part ways and live happily."

Liu Yaozhen's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Cui Mubai's sleeve and choked up, "Do you still want to hide it from me? Third sister has already told me that we are sick and need treatment. Please stop making trouble, okay?"

Cui Mubai's hand moved slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her. He couldn't bear to see her crying.

But in the end I restrained myself and did nothing.

"Yaozhen, I won't live long. Yuelian is pregnant with my child, and I've brought her into the mansion." Cui Mubai's voice was hoarse. He couldn't help but touch Liu Yaozhen's hair and left immediately. "We've divorced. You can go back."

Liu Yaozhen shook her head vigorously and cried miserably. She hugged Cui Mubai's waist and buried her face in his chest, "I won't! I don't recognize the divorce agreement. Cui Mubai, you can't do this to me. We are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one. Even if you want to die, I should send you away. I will mourn for you and be a widow." She cried and was a little breathless. She sobbed, "I'm pregnant, we have a child, I don't recognize the seven reasons for divorce you mentioned."

She trembled as she pulled Cui Mubai's hand and placed it on her slightly protruding belly. "This is our child, Cui Mubai, you can't chase us away."

Cui Mubai felt the warmth in his palms, and his whole body seemed to be stiff. He was careful not to use force with his hands. There was surprise and joy in his eyes, and he was a little at a loss, but all these emotions were hidden after a moment.

He gently helped Liu Yaozhen to stand up, took out a handkerchief and wiped her wet cheeks, and used his fingertips to brush away the sticky hair on her cheek.

"I don't recognize this child. You've been in Pingliang Prefecture for more than three months. This child may not be mine." Cui Mubai said such cruel words, trying his best to maintain a cold expression. He seemed to be split in two, with the other half hiding in his heart and crying blood. He bit his cheek and his mouth was full of the taste of rust. "Take the child in your belly back and live your life well in the future. Since we have divorced, I will not pursue who you had an affair with."

"Cui Mubai!" Liu Yaozhen could hardly believe it. She shouted Cui Mubai's name at the top of her lungs. She looked at the strange husband in front of her in shock. She raised her hand but couldn't bear to slap Cui Mubai's thin face. Her voice was full of tears. She was annoyed and helpless, distressed and sad. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is your child. Why do you have to force me to leave?"
