The Dowager Consort refused to budge, insisting that Fu Xiaoyu write her a letter of divorce.

This stalemate couldn't go on forever, so everyone came out to get some fresh air. After all, it was Fu Xiaoyu's family matter, and they didn't want to interfere.

Are you unhappy right now?

"Is there even a question? Everyone can see it, can't they?"

Cui Yulu snorted coldly and said helplessly to Han Yu'an.

Han Yu'an looked at her protruding belly and felt a pang of sadness, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only talk to Fu Xiaoyu about the situation in private.

"Are you pitying me now? What's there to pity? I'm doing very well, and I have a child. I'm doing just fine on my own."

"What kind of thinking is that? How can a woman with a child survive in this cannibalistic society?"

Cui Yulu gave a mocking laugh and retorted, "Does a woman in this society have to rely on a man to survive? I refuse to."

Han Yu'an knew Cui Yulu's temperament; once she made a decision, it was naturally difficult to change it.

"But do you think Fu Xiaoyu is the kind of person who would betray your relationship so easily? I don't think he would do anything to betray you even when he was unconscious."

Han Yu'an knew Fu Xiaoyu's character; he would never betray Cui Yulu.

"Do you think I don't know what kind of person he is? I also know he wouldn't betray our relationship, but I can't accept another woman standing between us. This kind of relationship will have problems sooner or later."

Han Yu'an fell silent. Cui Yulu's words made a lot of sense; no one could accept the sudden appearance of a third person in their relationship.

“I understand how you feel. I will talk to Fu Xiaoyu about this for you. After all, it wasn’t easy for you two to get together, and you can’t just break up so easily.”

Everyone has witnessed their relationship over the years, but no one expected them to encounter something like this.

"No need to say anything more. Fu Xiaoyu and I cannot be together. You've also seen that the Empress Dowager Jia has a problem with me. Do you think we can continue?"

Wen Yu, who had been hiding in the shadows, watched the two of them, and felt a surge of anger when she saw Han Yu'an's affectionate gaze.

Seeing Han Yu'an leave, Wen Yu quickly came to her side.

"I never expected you could make Han Yu'an so sad. You're really something."

"What do you mean? We just met and exchanged a few words. Don't misunderstand."

"You're all misunderstanding. I can see it with my own eyes. You don't need to say anything more. You'd better stay away from him, or I won't let you off the hook."

Wen Yu was just that kind of fiery temper; she never tolerated being wronged and absolutely couldn't stand seeing other women seduce her husband.

"Don't worry, I will leave soon and won't disturb your lives."

Cui Yulu smiled sadly. Even former friends can become strangers because of matters of the heart.

Dragging my heavy body, I prepared to leave.

This palace is not a place for her.

She decided not to attend the palace banquet, to avoid making things even more awkward.

"Where are you going? Can't you give me a little time? I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

"Please arrange a carriage to take me back, Your Highness. I am not feeling well and will not disturb you any longer."

"I'll take you back."

Cui Yulu looked up at his guilty face and said with a smile, "No need, Your Highness. Today's banquet was specially prepared for you. It wouldn't be good if you left. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

She lowered her head and stroked her belly; she couldn't afford to have anything happen to her child.

"Do you really have to do this? Don't you trust me at all?"

"Of course I believe in you, but I don't believe I can do this job well, so I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Fu Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment and could only watch her figure disappear into the distance.

When Cui Yulu returned to the Prince's Mansion, Du Sanniang and Tuoba Xuan were waiting for her at the gate.

"What are you doing here? It's so cold outside. Why don't you go inside?"

“Yulu, we’ve heard about what happened. We’re not staying here anymore. I have a courtyard in Kyoto now. Let’s go stay at my place.”

Du Sanniang held Cui Yulu's hand and kept trying to persuade her.

“If you divorce Fu Xiaoyu, we’ll go back to the foreign land together. There, the eldest brother is in charge, and no one will make things difficult for you like this.”

Tuoba Xuan also spoke up, this time he absolutely could not stand by and watch Cui Yulu be bullied again.

She was bullied by Han Yu'an before, and now she's going to be bullied by Fu Xiaoyu. They really don't take their foreign holy maiden seriously.

"Don't worry, sister. Tomorrow I will go to the palace as an envoy from a foreign land to meet the emperor and ask him to grant you a divorce. I don't believe that with our foreign power, we can't make Fu Xiaoyu let go. They are simply going too far."

Tuoba Xuan had to be tough this time. He had always tried to avoid trouble, but this time he simply couldn't hold back any longer.

She, a cavewoman of the Utopia tribe, was of noble status, so how come the holy maiden of that foreign land was just a country bumpkin?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

“Yes, tomorrow you will go to the palace and bring the divorce papers. After that, we will go back to our foreign lands and live a carefree life. We don’t need to stay in this Great Yuan Dynasty.”

Hearing their words, Cui Yulu was moved to tears.

Fortunately, they were there for me, which gave me the courage to leave.

"Thank you, elder brother and third aunt. It's so good to have you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know where to go."
