Chapter 1188 The Meal Replacement Lady is Not Likeable (3)

Yuan Shichu returned to the carriage after walking out of the Yuan family's gate, and immediately ordered the coachman to leave.

Zhan Shulin quickly caught up. This time he did not ride his own horse, but jumped onto the carriage that Yuan Shichu was sitting in.

Yuan Shichu looked at him calmly without saying anything. Zhan Shulin sat down in front of her and said to her, "What you did just now was not appropriate. After all, they are your family members..."

"So you want to divorce me?" Yuan Shichu asked expressionlessly without waiting for him to finish his words.

"What?" Zhan Shulin was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Divorce, do you want to divorce me? I have no objection." Yuan Shichu answered him again very calmly.

This time, a very complicated expression appeared on Zhan Shulin's face. He looked at Yuan Shichu with surprise and confusion, as if he couldn't understand why she could say the word divorce so easily.

"That's not what I meant, and I won't divorce you." Zhan Shulin's face darkened. "Although your attitude towards your family is inappropriate, as long as it doesn't get out and affect the reputation of the Zhan family, I don't really care what your relationship with your family is like."

"I can't guarantee this. After all, I don't plan to have any dealings with the Yuan family in the future. It might really affect your family's reputation. In order to avoid this result, why don't we divorce now?" Yuan Shichu looked at him straight and said provocatively.

Zhan Shulin frowned: "We have only been married for three days, and we are getting divorced in three days. Do you think this will not affect my reputation and that of the Zhan family?"

"Then we can get divorced in two months." Yuan Shichu said indifferently, "Anyway, marrying me is just a second choice, isn't it?"

Zhan Shulin said coldly, "I don't know why you think this way. If I marry you, I will be responsible for you. You don't have to worry about other things. As for divorce, I don't have any plans to divorce you."

Yuan Shichu listened and observed his expression carefully, but she didn't find anything on his cold and handsome face. She thought about it and thought that it wouldn't be bad for her if she didn't get divorced. In today's world, women who get divorced will be gossiped about. Although she didn't care, she could live quietly, so she didn't plan to be an alternative, rebellious and eye-catching existence. Being married could save her a lot of trouble. As for Zhan Shulin's lack of feelings for her, what did it mean? She didn't have feelings for Zhan Shulin either. They were the same.

"It's up to you. If you want a divorce, just tell me directly. I won't refuse to leave." Yuan Shichu said indifferently.

The carriage quickly returned to the Zhan family. Because she was going to visit her parents, Yuan Shichu got up early today and ate less breakfast. She also had a quarrel and left the Yuan family without having time to eat, so she was so hungry that her stomach was growling. So she jumped off the carriage and wanted to go back to her yard to find something to eat.

Zhan Shulin grabbed her and said, "Go and see your mother first."

Yuan Shichu curled his lips. People at this time were troublesome. They had to tell their elders when they went out, and they also had to report to their elders when they came home.

Yuan Shichu had no choice but to go with Zhan Shulin to see Old Madam Zhan.

When Mrs. Zhan saw that they came back so soon, she asked in shock: "Why are you back so early? Why don't you stay longer at the Yuan family?"

Zhan Shulin looked at Yuan Shichu and motioned for her to answer. Yuan Shichu had no choice but to cough and said, "My stepmother is the head of the family. I don't have a good relationship with her, so I can't stay for long."

Zhan Shulin was very surprised to hear her speak so directly and frankly, because most people would not speak so directly about the bad things happening in their family. After all, family disgrace should not be made public.

Yuan Shichu was very calm, as if what she said was not a big deal.

Her honesty also surprised Mrs. Zhan. She obviously didn't expect her to give such an answer, so she didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she said dryly, "It doesn't matter if you don't stay in your mother's house for a long time. Anyway, you will be a member of our Zhan family in the future. As long as you and Shulin live a good life and have a few more children in the future, I will be satisfied."

Yuan Shichu raised her eyebrows. She thought that Madam Zhan would scold her and say that she was disrespectful to her elders, but she didn't expect that she didn't. It seemed that this old lady was not a difficult person to get along with.

"I will. Thank you for your understanding, old lady." Yuan Shichu said to Madam Zhan with a smile.

After meeting the old lady, Yuan Shichu and Zhan Shulin returned to their own courtyard, ordered some food, and started eating right away without any hesitation.

After dinner, Zhan Shulin went to the study to busy himself. Yuan Shichu had nothing to do, so he went to count his dowry.

The original owner was not popular in the Yuan family, and she got married in a hurry. Yuan's father did not prepare any dowry for her. He only gave her one-third of the original owner's biological mother's dowry, and added some other things. He pieced together the sixty-six dowry for her.

However, Yuan Shiwan's dowry was different, because she was marrying the third prince and was favored at home, so her father Yuan naturally had to prepare a sufficiently decent dowry for her. However, the Yuan family itself was not a wealthy family, so part of Yuan Shiwan's dowry was actually squeezed out of Yuan Shichu.

However, they don't plan to continue associating with the Yuan family, and Yuan Shichu doesn't plan to care about such things anymore. She only cares about what she has now.

So she spent most of the day in the yard carrying and counting all her dowry. Some of the worthless cloths took up space, were easily damp and outdated, and were difficult to preserve. Yuan Shichu planned to take them out and make clothes out of them.

There are also some jewelry that are not very good-looking. Yuan Shichu plans to give them away as gifts or melt them down and make them again.

The dowry included a house deed and a land deed, but they were both in remote places and not valuable. However, a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small it is. Yuan Shichu planned to go and see them later and decide what to do with them.

After counting, Yuan Shichu realized that the original owner was really poor. These dowries were not bad for the daughter of ordinary people, but for the daughter of a noble official family, it was a bit shabby. If compared with Yuan Shiwan, it could not be described with a greeting, but should be described as "a world of difference".

After Yuan Shichu counted the dowry, he had an even worse impression of the Yuan family. However, it was fortunate that they treated the original owner so badly that Yuan Shichu could now sever ties with them so cleanly.

When Zhan Shulin came back from the study, he saw things spread out on the ground in the yard, with a few familiar red boxes next to them, so he asked Yuan Shichu, "What happened to these things?"

"Nothing, I was just counting the dowry." Yuan Shichu answered without raising his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Shulin took a closer look at the dowry in the yard and found that there was nothing valuable. He was puzzled: Is the Yuan family so poor?
