Upon hearing this, Yunzhi couldn't help but show a mocking expression on her face, saying, "He's in a hurry enough. It's only been a few days, and he's already preparing to give that woman a title. He really is in love."
"Miss, aren't you sad?" Ruzhu looked at Yunzhi with some surprise. She had hesitated for a while before deciding to tell her the news. But she didn't expect her mistress's reaction to be completely unexpected.
"What's there to be sad about?" Yunzhi looked at Ruzhu speechlessly and said, "My marriage to him was arranged by our parents and matchmakers. We had no feelings for each other, so why should I be sad? Let me tell you, I'm overjoyed to be able to leave. Besides, it's not like I can't get married."
Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, Ruzhu immediately thought of the imperial edict from earlier that day. A smile appeared on her face as she said, "Miss, I was overthinking it."
"That's true. Let me tell you, Ruzhu, even though we are women, we can live wonderful lives without relying on men. And you must remember this: out with the old, in with the new, and the next one will be better."
"Understood, Miss!" Ruzhu nodded. Seeing that her mistress was truly not sad, she had nothing more to say.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful. Besides, the young lady has now been betrothed to the Regent.
Compared to this, An Xiuyuan isn't even worthy of carrying the young lady's shoes.
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."
"This servant takes her leave!"
After Ruzhu left, Yunzhi opened the Regent's file and began to read it. When she saw his name, she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Dong Li Lu Cang? How come his name is so similar to the man she saved that day? Could they be the same person?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Yunzhi quickly dismissed it. She thought it must be a coincidence.
After all, how could a regent almost die? Poisoning and internal injuries—it was clearly an attempt to kill him.
As for the rest, it was pretty much the same as what she knew before. But no matter how she looked at the information, she couldn't find any connection between the two of them.
So why did the regent insist on marrying her?
Unable to understand, Yunzhi didn't dwell on it. She planned to find some time to personally ask the Regent for clarification. If possible, she wanted to annul the engagement.
Compared to getting married, she feels that being single is happier, there are fewer troubles, and she doesn't have to worry about what others think.
Yunzhi didn't want to get married, but someone in the Yun family had their eye on the position of Regent's Consort.
After leaving Yunzhi's residence, Yun Cheng hurriedly returned home. Upon arriving home, he went directly to Madam Xu's courtyard.
Previously, he felt that Yunzhi's divorce from An Xiuyuan was a disgrace to the Yun family, and he wished he could stay far away from Madam Xu. But things are different now; Yunzhi will soon be the Regent's Consort.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. As Yunzhi's maternal family, the Yun family naturally benefits as well. As for what Yunzhi said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
He felt that since Yunzhi was getting married to a regent, she would need her family's support even more and would definitely not sever ties with them.
Therefore, he planned to have his mother, Madam Xu, arrange for Yunzhi to return to the mansion.
"What did you say? The Regent's Consort?" Madam Xu looked at Yun Cheng in shock after hearing his words.
She thought she must have misheard. How could she have heard Yunzhi say that she was going to become the Regent's wife? How could a divorced woman like her possibly become a princess?
