"How dare you! My wife is the daughter of the prime minister, how can I allow you to humiliate her like this?" The maid behind Gu Yanran scolded.

Qi Che's face was also clouded with gloom, "Qing Niang, do you really have to embarrass me in public?"

He took a few steps closer and said in a low voice: "The Gu family can give me a future. You have always been sensible. I thought you could understand me..."

Chu Qingniang sneered: "So, I should congratulate Qi Zhuangyuan, double happiness, right?"

She stood on the steps, the light in her eyes slowly dimming, "Qi Che, let's get divorced!"

Qi Che was stunned, as if trying to find signs of a joke on her face.

However, apart from calmness, there was only indifference and alienation on Chu Qingniang's face.

Qi Che's heart felt a momentary pain, but it was quickly replaced by resentment.

She knew that today was a great day for him to ride home. If she had any dissatisfaction, couldn't she say it later? She had to embarrass him in front of everyone.

But Chu Qingniang did not give him a chance to explain. After saying this, she turned around with Zhixia and walked into the gate.

Qi Che turned around and wanted to say a few words of comfort to Gu Yanran, and then chase after her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanran suddenly smiled at him and said considerately, "Sister must be unable to accept it for a while. I will go in by myself. Your husband should go and comfort your sister first."

Qi Che paused in his steps, his eyes darkened: "It's okay! Qingniang has always been sensible, give her some time, she will come to her senses."

Gu Yanran is already his wife. If he just leaves her at the door like this and the news gets to the ears of his father-in-law, the Prime Minister, will she still have a future?

I will wait for Qingniang to calm down first, and then explain it to her slowly. I believe she will understand me.

After all, she was an orphan with no background. If she left the Qi Mansion, she would have no place to stand, right?

Turning around, Qi Che gave a few instructions to the housekeeper, then took Gu Yanran's hand and swaggered into the gate of the Qi Mansion.

On the other side, after Chu Qingniang entered the door, she went straight to Yilan Garden.

Behind her, Zhixia counseled her: "Miss, don't be sad, let's just think of it as wasting three years and seeing the true face of this unfaithful man.

If you ask me, we should pack up and go back to Beijing right now. It's too dirty to stay in this filthy place for even a moment longer!"

What was her status? She could condescend to stay in this shabby place for three years, cook for Qi Che, and take care of a seriously ill old woman. The Qi family's ancestors were already very proud.

But Qi Che was so good that as soon as he came to power, he demoted her daughter to a concubine. To be honest, that crappy daughter of the prime minister was not even worthy of carrying her daughter's shoes.

Pooh!

Soon, Qi Che will realize that he has made a mistake that will make him regret for the rest of his life!

Soon, the master and servant walked into the yard. Chu Qingniang walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote something on a piece of paper.

Finally, she put down her pen and explained to Zhixia: "Zhixia, you are wrong. These three years were not completely wasted for me."

"At least it made me see clearly that the thing that cannot stand the test the most in this world is the human heart."

Then she walked to the dressing table and took off the pair of pearl earrings from her earlobes, which were bought for her by Qi Che using his first writing fee.

For so many years, she had been reluctant to wear it, and finally took the opportunity to wear it today, but the result was -

“I thought he was different from other people.”

She once thought that Qi Che was kind, sincere and simple, a gentleman of noble character.

Three years ago, she was injured and lost her memory while investigating a military pay case. It was Qi Che who carried her home in the rain. She still remembers that in that simple house, Qi Che gave her the only dry bedding and spent the whole night reading in the main room.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I will go to the clinic to get some medicine tomorrow and I will definitely cure you."

Later she found out that the three taels of silver were Qi Che's last savings for buying pens and ink.

Not long after, when she regained her memory and took out the gold leaves from the brocade bag to reward him, Qi Che blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

The poor student who was famous for his talent in the county school was stuttering and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Miss Chu, Miss Chu." He mustered up his courage and bowed deeply to Chu Qingniang under the pear tree. "Although Qi is penniless, I have never forgotten you since the day I first met you. If you don't abandon me..."

She still remembers Qi Che's resounding promise: "I, Qi Che, will never let you down in this life. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

Chu Qingniang was attracted by his ignorant yet tenacious temperament, and was also moved by his kindness. After some hesitation, she decided to temporarily give up returning to Beijing, and secretly made arrangements to stay in Jiangnan as a merchant's daughter and marry him.

I just didn't expect that people's hearts are so fickle.

The young man who made a promise to her under the moonlight was eventually lost in the torrent of power and desire.

"Miss, are you really planning to divorce?"

Zhixia's words pulled Chu Qingniang's thoughts away from her memories.

She looked at the ink on the paper and saw that it had dried. She then told Zhixia, "Pack up some valuables and let's leave today."

Zhixia hesitated: "Just some gold and silver jewelry?"

This huge house, as well as its decorations, servants, etc., which one was not taken care of by the young lady?

Just leave like that? Isn't that too easy for that unfaithful man?

"Just consider it as a token of his kindness in saving me back then." Chu Qingniang said.

Soon, Chu Qingniang walked out of the yard with the divorce papers in her pocket, only to see many servants busy at work, laying a red carpet along the bluestone slabs and hanging festive red lanterns.
