Chapter 897

This is a serious matter; we cannot let emotions cloud our judgment.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yu scoffed dismissively.

He's not the kind of person who would tamper with something like that.

However, Le'an didn't believe him, and even Doukou didn't stop her. So Le'an went out and called a guard, telling him to take the divorce papers to a lawyer for advice.

The guard came with her, so she wouldn't have to multitask and be unable to stay by Doukou's side all the time.

After a while, the guard returned and said that there was indeed no problem with the divorce agreement and that it could be signed.

Doukou breathed a sigh of relief and deftly pressed her handprint on it.

Looking at the bright red mark, Ding Yu pursed his lips, a struggle appearing in his eyes: "Doukou, we've been husband and wife for so long—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sound rang out, and Le'an drew his sword.

"Stop talking nonsense, put your fingerprints on, and get out!"

Doukou turned her face away and refused to look at him anymore.

Ding Yu softened his tone again: "My wife, could you please give me a few more days? Once this divorce agreement is signed, I'll have to move out, but I have no relatives or friends in the capital besides you, and I don't even have a place to stay."

"How about this? Let me stay in the yard for a few more days. Once I find a suitable place, I'll move out immediately. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Hearing his words, Doukou felt a little wavering.

Ding Yu has already written the divorce papers, which shows that he has no other intentions. In that case, it wouldn't be a problem to let him stay a few more days.

Doukou looked at Le'an hesitantly.

As soon as he met her gaze, Le'an said, "Miss Doukou, if you've made up your mind, I'll stay here for the next couple of days and watch over you. Anyway, when I came out, the young mistress gave me orders to make sure I protected you."

Hearing this, Doukou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it didn't interfere with your business. But my courtyard is small, so why don't you stay in my room for now, and I'll move to my mother's room."

"No need for all that trouble, I can sleep on a couch."

Le'an Road.

Seeing that the two of them were talking back and forth without considering him at all, Ding Yu had no choice but to tentatively ask, "Then, where do I stay?"

Le'an glanced at him: "Why don't you just find somewhere to stay? Even sleeping in the courtyard is better than sleeping on the street."

At least you've at least maintained some semblance of dignity.

After saying that, Le'an ignored Ding Yu's ugly expression and pulled Doukou to discuss what to eat that night.

——

The next morning, Ding Yu went out. Le An, being cautious, ordered his guards to follow him and see what he was up to.

Around noon, the guard returned with lunch: "He went to the brokerage firm to look for a place to live."

"He really went to look for a place to live?" Le An raised an eyebrow. "Is he really that obedient?"

Doukou sighed: "It must be because Miss Le'an looks like she's not to be trifled with that he's so obedient. In any case, it's a good thing."

Le'an nodded, finding Doukou's words reasonable, and temporarily put the matter out of her mind.

Unexpectedly, before it even got dark, a commotion broke out outside.

Immediately afterwards, someone knocked on the courtyard gate. When the guards opened the gate, they found government officials standing outside.

Upon seeing the door open, the officials asked, "Is it your master who wants a divorce?"

The guard nodded.

"Then that's it. Scholar Ding said that your master not only wants a divorce, but also wants to take away all the family property. Is that true?"
