Chapter 737 Divorce Letter
"In life and death, I will never let you down."
No one would have thought that a calm and steady man like He Jia Sanlang would make such a vow in public.
The wife of Marquis Wenxin stayed in the front hall to discuss the marriage between the two families with the He couple. Rong Yue and Tang Ning quietly withdrew. When they stood by the hanging flower door, they saw from afar that He Jin took off his cloak and put it on Zhou Yuchang. Zhou Yuchang had red eyes and looked up at the person in front of her with her head slightly tilted.
The cold wind made the lanterns in the corridor sway. He Jin stood sideways in front of her, blocking all the sharp wind for her.
He lowered his head and said a few words. Zhou Yuchang's eyes sparkled, and after a moment he took the petite person in front of him into his arms.
The He family members were all smiling as they left. The wife of Marquis Wenxin personally escorted them out. Zhou Yuchang came to Qiwu Courtyard and thanked Tang Ning when she saw her.
"Just now when we were outside, although I was being thoughtful, I still want to thank you."
"Who said it was just a precaution?"
Zhou Yuchang looked into Tang Ning's eyes in astonishment, and was a little dazed by the smile in her eyes.
Tang Ning said, "My parents died young, and my only relatives are my aunt and uncle. When I am crowned queen, the bridegroom from my parents' side will be too few. The Wenxin Marquis's family is large and powerful, the Marquis has made great military achievements, and the wife is gentle and loving. It is my dream to have such parents to look after me. But sister, please don't despise me for sharing the love of my adoptive father and mother."
Zhou Yuchang listened to the teasing in her words and saw the seriousness in her smile. Her eyes gradually turned red as she looked dazed. She tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth and said with a trembling voice, "If my father knew that he had such a good daughter like you, he would be extremely happy."
Tang Ning reached out and hugged her, and Zhou Yuchang shed tears.
Qian Qiyue muttered to herself, "You two are so close, I'll be jealous."
Zhou Yuchang burst into laughter through her tears.
After Tang Ning pulled Zhou Yuchang to sit down, Xue Ru obediently poured tea for them.
Qian Qiyue looked at Zhou Yuchang seriously and said, "Yuchang, are you really going to agree to marry He Jin?"
Zhou Yuchang nodded: "Yes."
"But..." Qian Qiyue hesitated and wanted to say something, but stopped when the words came to her lips.
Zhou Yuchang seemed to know what she wanted to say and smiled, "I know what you're worried about. You're trying to say that Brother Jin doesn't care about anything anymore and is willing to marry me, but my story is a humiliation for a man. You're worried that Brother Jin is sincere for a moment but will regret it later, or that he'll use this to hurt me when we argue in the future?"
Qian Qiyue pursed her lips. Although these words sounded unpleasant and a bit unlucky, they were indeed what she was most worried about.
When love between a man and a woman is strong, they naturally don't care about anything else. He Jin now loves Zhou Yuchang and sympathizes with her experience. He is willing to put aside the past and continue the engagement. But if the relationship changes or the passion fades in the future, who can guarantee that the promises made to her now will not become a sword that hurts her?
Qian Qiyue chose her words carefully, "I'm not doubting He Jin's feelings for you, I just think you don't need to gamble..."
Zhou Yuchang looked at the carefree Qian Qiyue who was so cautious, afraid of hurting her, and couldn't help laughing: "I know what you mean. I can indeed insist on breaking off the engagement with the He family. As long as I marry out of the capital in the future, no one will know about those things. But Ah Yue, I like him."
"I had sincerely hoped to marry him, and I had sincerely hoped to grow old with him in love. I know people's hearts are fickle, and I understand that the vows we made today may not mean anything, but at least he is sincere to me right now."
"I don't want to let this sincerity down."
Qian Qiyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Zhou Yuchang smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about, but who can guarantee that their original intentions will remain unchanged throughout their lives? Even if I marry someone else in the future, will that person necessarily be a good person? Even if I don't marry and stay in the Marquis' Mansion, can that guarantee a smooth and happy life for me?"
"Instead of gambling on the illusory future, it's better to gamble on someone who is sincere to me right now."
"If the bet is right, I will live a peaceful and happy life. Even if the bet is wrong, I have my father, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, Tang Ning and His Majesty, and you. I can still escape from the He family unscathed."
As Zhou Yuchang spoke, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Qian Qiyue.
Qian Qiyue was puzzled: "What is this?"
Zhou Yuchang: "Open it and take a look."
Qian Qiyue took it with confusion, and after opening it, she was shocked by what was written on it.
"Divorce letter?"
She suddenly looked up at Zhou Yuchang, and Tang Ning and Xue Ru beside her were also surprised.
Zhou Yuchang said: "This is what Brother Jin gave me."
He Jin told her that it was not that he didn't care about the affairs in the palace, and he had also been sad, humiliated, hesitant and struggling, but his care for her surpassed all that. He didn't know if he would change in the future. Even though he firmly believed in his heart that he would love her as always, he was unwilling to gamble on the one in ten thousand chance of changing his heart.
There are countless temptations in the world, and human nature is even more unpredictable. Oaths alone are too weak to restrain her, so he wrote the divorce agreement in advance, taking all the blame for the breakdown of their relationship on himself, and giving her a way out in advance.
If one day in the future he changes his mind and hurts her with what happened today, she can take the divorce papers and leave the He family.
If the couple has children, two-thirds of the family property will belong to her, and the children will return to the Zhou family with her. If there are no children, half of the family property will be left to her as compensation.
Qian Qiyue opened her mouth wide as she looked at the contents of the divorce letter, her face full of shock. Even Tang Ning was extremely stunned.
He Jin has already signed and sealed the divorce agreement, and stamped it with both his private and official seals, meaning it can take effect at any time.
Once He Jin and Zhou Yuchang's marriage encounters setbacks, and he does anything to offend Zhou Yuchang, Zhou Yuchang only needs to use this divorce letter to suppress He Jin and make him unable to turn over. Not only can she use it to easily take away the He family's property, but even if she has children, she can escape from the He family at any time.
No one expected He Jin to be able to do this.
Zhou Yuchang said to them with a gentle look in her eyes, "I didn't trust him for nothing. I'm also willing to take a gamble on his sincerity."
"Even if I make a wrong bet, I'm willing to do it."
"Besides, I still have you guys, don't I?"
The wound on her neck was still there, but she was no longer panicked. Her eyes were clear and she looked at them with a smile, her gaze full of courage and determination.
Just like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, even though it knows the road ahead may not be smooth, it is no longer afraid or panicky.
Qian Qiyue's worries completely dissipated. She held the divorce agreement in her hand and grinned, "Of course! If He Sanlang dares to bully you, I'll beat him up!"
She handed the divorce papers to her side.
"Tang Ning, let's get His Majesty to write a note on this divorce agreement. If He Sanlang dares to do anything wrong to Yu Chang, we'll blackmail him to death together!"
Tang Ning said seriously: "Okay."
