Chapter 451 Divorce
"My brother is back."
Song Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't even bother to talk to Jiang Hao. She immediately picked up her skirt and ran out to greet her brother.
Jiang Hao frowned slightly and quickly followed her out.
In fact, he received the news when Song Anlan returned to Beijing today, but after Song Anlan entered the capital, he did not return to the Song residence immediately, nor did he come to the general's mansion. Instead, he went to the palace.
Jiang Hao knew that when Song Anlan entered the palace, he should ask the King of Chang'an for an imperial decree to allow him and Song Wan'er to divorce.
Song Wan'er was carefree in the mansion, playing with cats and dogs, but Jiang Hao was already filled with worries.
He wanted Song Wan'er to stay.
He even wanted to peel off his heart to let her understand his feelings.
But Song Wan'er was not completely unaware of his feelings. It was that even though she knew that he liked her, she was unwilling to accept this affection.
Because in Song Wan'er's heart, the most important things are always her brother, her sister and everything in the Song family.
Jiang Hao never thought that one day he would toss and turn so restlessly and feel so worried because he liked someone.
It was obvious that he was only thinking about revenge and how to climb up the ladder.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the darkness for too long that he fell in love with Song Wan'er, a girl as bright and beautiful as a pearl, without realizing it.
In fact, Jiang Hao didn't know when he fell in love.
Perhaps it was Song Wan'er who poisoned him again and again, damaging his brain.
Maybe it was the first time he saw her after waking up from a serious injury after pretending to be a hero saving a beauty.
Song Wan'er looked at him with eyes full of worry and concern.
At the beginning of their story, Jiang Hao pretended to be sincere in exchange for her love. Now that he is willing to give his true love, Song Wan'er dare not believe it and does not want to accept it.
Song Wan'er ran very fast, passing through the courtyard and corridor, and headed straight for the front hall.
Jiang Hao walked quickly with her, and Song Wan'er's flying hair brushed against his cheek, making him feel a little itchy.
At this time, Butler Liu led Song Anlan in.
"Brother!" Song Wan'er threw herself into Song Anlan's arms, "Brother is finally back. I missed you so much."
Song Anlan also missed his sister very much. He raised his hand and touched Song Wan'er's head. "Everything has been decided. Brother is here to take you home."
"Okay." Song Wan'er nodded heavily, "I'll go home with my brother now."
When Jiang Hao heard this, his heart was completely broken. He clasped his fists and saluted Song Anlan woodenly, calling out, "Brother."
"I can't bear to be called brother by the General of Pingxi." Song Anlan's voice was slightly cold. "Your marriage with Wan'er was granted by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor is gone, the marriage should also end. Do you want to write the divorce letter yourself, or do I ask the King of Chang'an to issue an edict ordering the two of you to divorce? It's up to you to decide."
Jiang Hao said, "I've never seen a divorce letter before, so I don't know how to write it."
Song Anlan said: "This is simple, I will read it to you and you write it."
Jiang Hao was silent.
He simply didn't want to.
Song Anlan also saw that Jiang Hao was unwilling, so he asked his attendant to take out the divorce documents that had been prepared long ago. "If the general is unwilling to write, I also have a divorce document that has been prepared long ago. You only need to sign and seal it."
Song Anlan prepared so thoroughly.
Jiang Hao couldn't delay for a few more days.
The Song family's entourage even brought pens, ink, and ink pad. The two of them unfolded the divorce papers one by one and handed over the pens and ink pad.
Jiang Hao didn't move for a moment.
Song Wan'er signed her name first, then used her thumb to apply ink and stamp the divorce papers. She then urged Jiang Hao, "I'm not asking you to sell yourself. The sooner you sign, the sooner it's over."
Seeing Song Wan'er being so carefree, Jiang Hao was angry at her for being so bold, and hated himself for having sown the bad consequences before, and now he had to taste the consequences himself.
"Sign it." Song Anlan said, "The general has a promising future. He will surely find another beautiful woman in the future."
When Jiang Hao heard this, his expression instantly became even uglier.
Song Anlan's words were simply life-threatening.
Seeing his extremely ugly face, Song Wan'er immediately said: "I just divorced you, not died. Don't look like a widower whose wife has died."
Jiang Hao was so angry that smoke came out of his head, "I look like a widower?"
"You don't believe it?" Song Wan'er called out to Butler Liu, "Go get a mirror and look at him."
"Why."
Butler Liu immediately responded and left.
Even though the lady was here signing the divorce agreement with the general, everyone in the general's mansion still followed the lady's orders.
Butler Liu quickly came back with a mirror and held it in front of Jiang Hao to look at his face.
When Jiang Hao saw himself in the mirror, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Just like Song Wan'er said, he looked like a widower whose wife had died.
He turned the bronze mirror over and slapped it on Butler Liu's chest.
Butler Liu was knocked backward by the blow and almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, two servants behind him reached out and supported him in time.
Seeing that Jiang Hao refused to sign the divorce agreement, Song Wan'er stuffed the pen into his hand and said, "Sign it, but don't make it seem like I'm abandoning you. If it gets out, it will damage your reputation as the General of Pingxi."
Jiang Hao felt Song Wan'er's delicate hand touching his hand, and then quickly left.
There was only a pen left in his hand, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Now that things have come to this, the divorce agreement has to be signed.
On the day of Song Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony, Jiang Hao came to the Song residence with the imperial decree of marriage issued by the old emperor and announced to everyone that he wanted to marry Song Wan'er.
It turns out that being forced to do something you don’t want to do can be so painful.
When Song Wan'er was forced to marry him, she must have been even more reluctant.
Jiang Hao suddenly understood why Song Wan'er was unwilling to accept his feelings after knowing them.
Because her marriage with him was a bad marriage from the very beginning, a mixture of coercion and calculation.
Jiang Hao pondered for a long time, then picked up a pen and wrote his name on the divorce papers.
The names Jiang Hao and Song Wan'er were listed side by side.
The last time it appeared was in the marriage certificate.
This time, it appeared in the divorce agreement.
Song Wan'er's handwriting is beautiful, while Jiang Hao's is rough. From their names to their handwriting, there is no match between the two.
Song Anlan didn't even let Jiang Hao look at the divorce agreement for a while, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind. After he put his fingerprints on it, he immediately asked his followers to put it away.
Song Anlan said, "Thank you for your help, General. I will take my sister home now."
Jiang Hao couldn't bear Song Anlan's thanks, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are many things in the mansion that she likes..."
"No, General, if you think those things are an eyesore, just throw them away." Song Anlan said, "Wan'er likes something worth at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand. I will buy her new ones."
Song Wan'er didn't say anything and stood obediently beside her brother.
Jiang Hao said nothing, but his eyes were full of sadness when he looked at Song Wan'er.
Just like these things in the general's mansion, they are not worth mentioning to Song Wan'er. If she likes something so much, she will just exchange it for a more expensive and better one when she returns home.
She would not miss this place, nor would she miss him.
Song Anlan said to her sister gently, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Song Wan'er nodded. When she was about to walk out with Song Anlan, she met Jiang Hao's eyes. She couldn't help but step forward and called out "Jiang Hao."
Jiang Hao saw her coming forward and heard her calling him. Like a puppy abandoned by its owner, it heard its owner's call again. He raised his eyes and looked at Song Wan'er with burning gaze.
