On the second day, the promising Councillor Shen and the now penniless and notorious Ruan Xi set a wedding date, and the news that they were going to get married soon spread throughout the entire Imperial Star.
Because of the fame of Shen Mozhi and Ruan Xi, the entire interstellar network and the imperial star aristocratic circle were in an uproar.
Ordinary people all lamented Shen Mozhi's good fortune and his infatuation with Ruan Xi.
However, many of Shen Mozhi's supporters have stopped being his fans, saying that they originally thought he was an ambitious, goal-oriented politician who cared about his reputation, but they didn't expect that he would be so blinded by love that he had to marry Ruan Xi, who now had a terrible reputation and nothing...
Even many of the elders in Shen Mo's family and his grandfather who had supported him were extremely disappointed in him because he insisted on marrying Ruan Xi.
Shen Mozhi's father even took this opportunity to support his illegitimate son to ascend to the throne, and arranged a marriage for the illegitimate son with a noble lady, ready to seize the position of heir to Shen Mozhi's family at any time.
Shen Mozhi was not completely ignorant of this, and he also knew that his current situation in the Shen family was very dangerous, but thinking of Ruan Xi's help to him when he was in trouble, he still insisted on his engagement with Ruan Xi.
Ruan Tang was quite surprised when she heard the news.
He originally thought that Shen Mozhi was a politician with deep thoughts and calculations. He wanted to get the support of the Ruan family because Ruan Xi was the most favored son of the Ruan family, so he married him. Even if he liked Ruan Xi, he would not give up much when it came to interests...
Once upon a time, Ruan Tang judged him in her heart as a sophisticated egoist who was better than Ruan Ming.
Unexpectedly, he was wrong. Ruan Xi has now fallen to the bottom, her reputation is in disgrace, she has nothing, and she even almost cheated on Shen Mozhi. But Shen Mozhi still insisted on marrying her, which shows that she is so devoted to him and truly loves him.
It’s a pity that although Shen Mozhi is deeply in love with Ruan Xi, she is not a content person…I wonder if her ‘ex-fiancé’ can still live a peaceful life after they get married?
Ruan Tang sighed in her heart.
But after sighing, there was nothing left.
"Sir, why are you ignoring me?"
"Are you busy? I am really scared when you ignore me like this..."
"What are you doing now?" Ruan Tang was still harassing Auston relentlessly.
After knowing that Seth was Auston, he saw Auston almost every day, and he also knew that Auston was always by his side. But in the communication, the Duke 'Auston' seemed to have disappeared and never replied to him again.
Ruan Tang predicted in her heart that he would be fed up with avoiding her like this and would definitely take action again in the next few days.
As expected, Auston was so overwhelmed by Ruan Tang that he had to ask Vincent for off-field help: "Vincent, if an OGA likes you but you don't want to be with him, what should you do to make him give up?"
"If you don't want to be together, that's easy. Isn't it better to just reject me directly?" Vincent didn't expect that Auston would be so distressed, so he said without thinking.
Auston immediately said: "It's useless to refuse directly?"
Does this guy think he hasn't refused directly? But Ruan Tang is not an ordinary thin-skinned OGA at all. No one can match her ability to cling to others.
"Then just say something unpleasant, or just take action! Isn't this what you are best at, sir?" Vincent looked confused.
Auston immediately glared at him: "What if you don't want to hurt him?"
If he could be so cruel to Ruan Tang, would he still need to ask for help from this idiot Vincent?
"Who is the oga who likes you and you want to reject him but doesn't want to hurt him?" Vincent really wanted to know which oga was so blind as to fall in love with his master.
Auston became more and more annoyed: "What do you think?"
Did he confide in Vincent any other relationship troubles? He now really wanted to ask himself why he recruited this guy in the first place?
"Madam?" Vincent was glared at by him. Seeing that Auston was about to lose his temper, he immediately realized who the Oga was that could make Auston distressed.
Auston immediately glared at him even more fiercely.
Vincent looked at him and yelled a thousand "Alright!"s in his heart. He just wanted to ask, why haven't you had enough fun with your husband? Sir, are you still struggling with it now? Is it possible that such an innocent boy is so pretentious and hypocritical?
But his professional ethics made him suppress all his complaints and he dutifully offered advice: "Actually, if you really don't like Madam and don't want to be with her, you might as well be ruthless and cut the Gordian knot quickly so that she no longer has any illusions about you..."
"The more you hesitate and worry, and the more you think about him, the easier it is for him to have fantasies and expectations about you. It hurts the most when a blunt knife cuts the flesh," he said in a deep voice.
Auston looked at him deeply and said nothing.
Although he always felt that Vincent was unreliable in terms of feelings, he still couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense...
He had no intention of hurting Ruan Tang, but he had not considered that the longer he delayed, the deeper and more severe the harm would be to Ruan Tang.
Austin pondered for a long time, and in the end, he did not respond to the message that filled the screen sent by Ruan Tang. He chose to directly send the divorce agreement he had prepared.
After receiving the divorce agreement, all news about Ruan Tang came to an abrupt halt.
Austin didn't know how to face Ruan Tang, so he stayed outside for a long time before returning to the Duke's Mansion.
But even after returning home, he still didn't have the courage to face Ruan Tang as a duke. He could only quietly change into a butler's uniform, and after some simple modifications, he walked towards Ruan Tang's bedroom.
Fortunately, when we first met, he approved this account by accident.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what identity to use if he wanted to see Ruan Tang...
The door was pushed open a crack, and Auston was secretly thinking about what to say to Ruan Tang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol. The view in Ruan Tang's room was very dim. The light computer was opened casually and it was stuck on the moment when the divorce agreement she sent to him was opened.
The content of the divorce agreement is very clear.
Ruan Tang sat down on the ground, with several empty red wine bottles placed on the ground. He was holding a red wine bottle in his hand and was pouring wine into his mouth one sip after another.
Even when she pushed the door open, Ruan Tang was unaware.
Auston was immediately startled, took a step forward, and asked with concern: "Madam..."
This oga really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. He drank so much alcohol. Even if he is at home, he shouldn't drink like this. Isn't he afraid of something bad happening?
Ruan Tang raised her head slightly, as if she had just noticed him. Her entire face was flushed with abnormal blood. She asked in a nasal voice, "Is it Set?"
"Ma'am, why did you drink so much?" Austin quickly stepped forward and bent down, trying to help him up.
"No, I'm happy today." Ruan Tang pushed him away and laughed out loud with a nasal tone as if crying.
Auston looked puzzled: "What are you happy about?"
He had no way to deal with a drunkard like Oga who went crazy.
"Lord Austin filed for divorce with me today." Ruan Tang looked at him deeply with her dark eyes.
Austin looked back at him, not knowing what to say: "Even if Lord Austin asked you for a divorce, you don't have to be so sad. He doesn't like you, so why don't you let him go? Why bother for someone who doesn't like you..."
He was imagining how he had persuaded Ruan Tang countless times in the past.
"I have decided to sign and divorce him." Ruan Tang interrupted him directly and took out a paper divorce agreement that he had drafted himself and did not take any advantage of Austin.
He threw it in front of Auston like a drunk.
He has already signed the divorce agreement.
Auston wanted to persuade Ruan Tang to let go and stop being stubborn, but he didn't expect that Ruan Tang would agree to divorce. He was stunned on the spot: "Madam, you..."
For a moment he didn't know what to say to Ruan Tang.
He had refused and pushed Ruan Tang away countless times. Auston thought that his rejection of Ruan Tang was well thought out and he was calm and rational enough.
He thought he sincerely hoped that Ruan Tang would be happy and stop being obsessed with a lunatic like himself who was destined to die soon and even marked him as a madman who might cause him mental harm or even kill him directly. If Ruan Tang really listened to his advice and pursued a broader world and found a better alha that was more suitable for him, he would be happy and would bless him.
He thought he was great—
But when he suddenly heard the news that Ruan Tang, who had been pestering him and refused to let go, agreed to divorce, Auston was stunned. Not only did he not feel relieved at all, he even felt overwhelmed and painful.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and actually you're right. The master doesn't like me, and he must be very troubled and annoyed that I'm pestering him like this, right? He's been so good to me and has helped me time and time again, but I use the empty marriage relationship between us to restrain and bind him. It's actually really too much and quite ungrateful." Ruan Tang bit her lip lightly, and was so sad that even her voice was a little hoarse.
Faced with Austin's repeated evasion and concession, Ruan Tang could only retreat in order to advance, which was a bad strategy.
After what happened between him and Osdie, he had to see him every day even if he had to face him as a servant. He didn't believe that Auston really didn't like him...
In order to break the impasse, he had to take risky moves.
However, he was unsure of Auston's character, and didn't know whether his move was right or wrong.
It was not until he saw Alha on the opposite side frozen in place with a confused look on his face that he regained some confidence.
He bit his lip and spoke word by word, "I've thought it through. I'm being too selfish and self-centered. If you love someone, you should make him happy instead of causing him more trouble... I've decided to let go and divorce you."
Austin looked at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time. Looking at Ruan Tang like this, he suddenly felt as if something very important to him was about to leave him, but he couldn't catch it at all, and was powerless to catch it.
