After saying that, she strode forward to Jiang Luoluo's side, glared at her fiercely, and said in a low voice, "Luoluo, on such a fine day, how could you do such a mess? Quickly apologize to Boyuan and have someone take this screen down."
The servants of General Weiyuan's mansion stood steadily beside the screen like the Four Heavenly Kings. Jiang Luoluo didn't say much, and her face still had a calm smile.
"Madam Gu, this is my sincere intention; there is no malpractice involved!"
After saying that, Jiang Luoluo looked away and pointed her slender finger in the direction of Yao Shiyu, "When I went to Yunchuan before, I learned that Doctor Yao and General Gu were already in love."
I can't very well be the one to break up this loving couple, so I'm taking this opportunity to clarify things with General Gu, and I ask everyone here to be my witness!
Jiang Luoluo spoke tactfully, but everyone present was shrewd and understood the deeper meaning behind her words.
Everyone started pointing and whispering about Yao Shiyu and Gu Boyuan.
Suddenly called out, Yao Shiyu's face turned deathly pale. A hint of panic flashed in her lowered eyes, but it also carried a suppressed sense of humiliation and anger.
A moment later, she suddenly looked up, her eyes reddening, forcing a wronged expression, her voice trembling with stubbornness, "Cousin, you've misunderstood me, I didn't..."
Jiang Luoluo scoffed, her tone chillingly cold, "Thunder and lightning, torrential rain, nothing to it?"
These eight simple words sparked endless imagination among the guests present.
Yao Shiyu's tears, which she had been holding back, finally streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. She looked pitiful, and Gu Boyuan felt even worse when he saw her.
Gu Boyuan's face also turned extremely ugly. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Luoluo's sleeve, threatening in a low voice, "Jiang Luoluo, don't forget that you begged me to arrange this marriage. If you insist on doing so, I will never give you another chance to get close to me again."
Suddenly, Jiang Luoluo took out the dagger Xie Yizhi had given her from her sleeve. With a whooshing sound, she swiftly cut off her sleeve.
Everyone was taken aback. Was this still the same incompetent Jiang Luoluo? So decisive and efficient, without any hesitation.
The daughter of General Weiyuan truly has his demeanor.
Xie Yizhi's eyes revealed a joy that others could not detect. He had made the right choice in coming to this banquet. He had made an exception to give her a painting, and this exception had not disappointed him in the end.
Gu Bo was still tightly clutching the half of Jiang Luoluo's sleeve in his hand. His gaze suddenly darkened, and suppressed anger mingled with the rain. "Jiang Luoluo, when are you going to stop making a scene?"
Jiang Luoluo lifted her eyelids slightly. "General Gu, do you still think I'm being ridiculous?"
He gestured for Dingdang to step forward, and Dingdang opened an inkpad. "General Gu, please."
"Today, General Gu, all you need to do is put your fingerprint on this annulment agreement, return the betrothal gifts, and our marriage will be called off. We will each marry our own spouses and not interfere with each other." Jiang Luoluo exuded a powerful aura, her eyes cold and resolute.
Jiang Luoluo spoke each word with unwavering resolve, each word striking Gu Boyuan's eardrums with deadly force. Gu Boyuan froze on the spot, his throat dry and his voice hoarse, "What if I don't?"
Jiang Luoluo raised her chin, pointed to a large wooden box that Dingdang was carrying, and said softly, "I have another large box here, containing the intimate image of General Gu and Physician Yao on that rainy night. Should we let the guests see it too?"
Gu Boyuan was furious and pointed at Jiang Luoluo, "You?"
She met Jiang Luoluo's clear and stunning eyes, and raised her eyebrows.
For some reason, Gu Boyuan felt a strange pang in his heart at this moment, and Jiang Luoluo no longer looked at him with tender eyes.
Today, they're all using paintings to threaten him, Xie Yizhi is one, and so is Jiang Luoluo.
At first, Gu Boyuan thought that Jiang Luoluo was using her indifference to threaten him into giving up marrying Yao Shiyu. But at this moment, Gu Boyuan truly felt Jiang Luoluo's indifference and abandonment of him. It seemed that she didn't care about him at all.
When did she begin to completely erase her love for him? Was it from that torrential rainy night?
Gu Boyuan was distraught. He took the inkpad from Dingdang's hand, pressed it down heavily, and then pressed his handprint firmly onto the screen.
The group that had just been mocking Gu Boyuan behind his back were now stunned by Jiang Luoluo's fierce and resolute actions.
After the marriage, Gu Boyuan wanted to take a concubine, which was fine. However, before Jiang Luoluo, the prospective wife, even entered the household, she had already seduced another woman, and Yao Shiyu became a mistress in the eyes of some people.
The woman's hatred for her mistress was innate; several noblewomen who had mistresses in their homes were already indignantly cursing in hushed tones.
"Pah, shameless little vixen!"
"A son of a mother who was born but not raised by one, doing such a despicable thing."
"They have utterly disgraced the women of our Great Qi Kingdom!"
"Of all the people he could seduce, he had to seduce his own brother-in-law."
“I don’t think someone like that is fit to be a female doctor; she is morally deficient.”
The low murmurs of insults around her were like a thorn, mercilessly piercing Yao Shiyu's ears, making her feel ashamed and unable to refute them.
Yao Shiyu, with her eyes lowered, had a cold glint in them, even though Jiang Luoluo's annulment of the engagement was the ending she wanted.
But she didn't want to get herself involved in this public criticism. She bit her lip hard, slowly raised her head, and looked at those who were cursing her. One day she would definitely become the Crown Princess and make those who cursed her kneel and bow down at her feet.
Yao Shiyu's eyes concealed a hint of calculation. Even though her reputation was somewhat tarnished now, so what? She was still the female physician of the Great Qi Kingdom, and she still had Gu Boyuan. She was a reborn person.
Without the help of Jiang Chengfeng and his wife, Jiang Luoluo is nothing. Moreover, which aristocratic family in the capital would want a woman who has broken off her engagement?
Yao Shiyu originally thought that Jiang Luoluo had also been reborn, but now it seems that it may not be so. Jiang Luoluo's act of annulling the engagement was just digging her own grave, just to vent her anger. She was the one who pushed the future crown prince further and further away.
Jiang Luoluo gave a slight curtsy to the guests, her tone resolute and unwavering, "Thank you all for witnessing this. After today, Gu Boyuan and I will go our separate ways and have no further connection whatsoever!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Boyuan's temples bulged with veins, and his usual refined composure was shattered. He fiercely snatched the betrothal letter from the servant's hand.
Jiang Luoluo's fingertips were as white as jade. She gently lifted them and, like the wind, took the marriage certificate from Gu Boyuan's hand and handed it to Dingdang.
She gestured, and the servants standing in front of the screen began to leave the courtyard. Xie Yizhi swirled the wine in his cup and drank it all in one gulp. The corners of his lips turned up slightly, and he was in an extremely happy mood.
