“Aunt, I’m fine, please don’t cry.” Yunzhi wiped away Jiang’s tears while comforting her, “To be honest, I’m overjoyed to be able to divorce An Xiuyuan.”
"You silly child, talking nonsense. What good can divorce do?" Jiang felt even more heartbroken after hearing Yunzhi's words. Her precious daughter had always been kind-hearted.
Look, even with something as important as divorce, she pretended to be happy so as not to hurt or upset them.
If Yunzhi knew that Jiang was thinking this way, she would definitely say that she wasn't pretending and that she was genuinely happy.
However, she didn't know that. All she could do was keep comforting Jiang until she stopped crying.
After crying, Jiang loosened her grip on Yunzhi and asked, "Zhizhi, where are you living now?"
“I live in the courtyard that you gave me as part of my dowry.”
"Fortunately, we prepared a courtyard for you back then. Otherwise, you would have nowhere to live after the divorce."
Jiang looked relieved, then turned to her husband and said, "Honey, now that Zhizhi is divorced, let's take her with us when we go back. She probably won't find a good family in the capital now, so it's good to go back to Jiangnan. That way, she won't be too far away from us, and we'll know if anything happens. Unlike this time, when such a big thing happened and we're only finding out now."
Upon hearing that his mother still wanted to find a husband for Yunzhi, Xu Lin immediately said, remembering the man who had claimed to be Yunzhi's fiancé, "Mother, don't worry about Yunzhi's affairs. She has already found a husband."
"What? So fast?" Jiang was shocked by her son's words and looked at Yunzhi, asking, "Zhizhi, what's going on? Talk to your aunt properly. How come you've found someone else so soon after the divorce?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Liang chimed in, "I also want to know, what's going on between you and that regent?"
"What regent?" Jiang asked, her face full of confusion. Weren't we talking about Zhizhi finding a husband? How did the regent get involved?
"Mother, Zhizhi's current fiancé is the Regent. We just saw him."
"What?! Zhizhi is going to marry the Regent?" Madam Jiang stared at Yunzhi in shock, hardly believing it. Yes, her daughter was naturally outstanding, but she never dared to dream that she could win the Regent's heart.
Before, when she was still unmarried, she dared not even think about it. Now that she's divorced, she dares even less. What prince would marry a divorced woman? Even if he did, with so many unmarried girls around, he could choose whatever he wanted.
So, is there some kind of conspiracy behind the Regent's desire to marry Zhizhi? Or is there something wrong with the Regent? Otherwise, why would he take a liking to Zhizhi?
Seeing Jiang's incredulous expression, Yunzhi laughed and said, "Aunt, my cousin is right. I've only been divorced for a few days, and I've already been betrothed to the Regent. However, I haven't decided yet whether I want to marry him or not."
Why?
Hearing Yunzhi's words, not only Jiang Shi but even Xu Liang was astonished. It was already a great honor for the Yun family to be able to marry into the Marquis of Anyuan's household. Now, for Yunzhi to marry the Regent was an absolute blessing beyond measure.
But now she says she hasn't decided whether or not to get married?
If one didn't know Yunzhi's character and knew she wasn't lying, they might think she was showing off.
