Seeing that Nie You didn't say anything, Su Man deliberately said arrogantly, "If the general insists, then I can only..."
"It was my fault."
Although Nie You was reluctant, he still gave in for the money.
Su Man was a little surprised. She had said this in order to force Nie You to leave. After all, Nie You was a general who had fought on the battlefield. She thought he would rather sell the general's mansion than bow to her.
Now she believed what Yu Yuanbai had said. Nie You's rise to generalship was partly due to luck. A general without courage is like a tiger without claws. When faced with obstacles, he won't face them head-on, but will only shrink back.
Su Man smiled coquettishly, distracting Nie You. "In that case, please help me to rest."
"Yuman, don't push your luck!"
"Why, you can usually help Qin Wanrou, but you can't help me?"
“…”
Although Nie You was angry, he still helped her onto the bed.
Just as he was about to lie down, Su Man stopped him and said, "I'm tired today. General, please go somewhere else to rest."
"Are you kidding me?" Nie You's eyes were blazing with fire.
Su Man leaned against the headboard, her eyes charming. But her words were like a knife, cutting through the heart and liver. "Even if I say yes, what can you do to me? So, I advise the general not to ask."
Nie You couldn't stand it any longer and left in anger.
After a while, Yinggu came in hurriedly, "Why did the general leave? He looked like he was angry."
"oh."
Su Man has no feelings.
Yinggu looked at Su Man and said carefully, "Madam, the general finally saw the true face of that bitch. If you push him away at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?"
"Do you think Nie You is a good official?"
Yinggu pondered for a while and finally said the answer in her heart, "No."
"So, instead of wasting my time on him, I might as well cut my losses and part ways amicably."
Yinggu was stunned. "Madam, do you want a divorce? Madam, your marriage to the general was granted by His Majesty. If you want a divorce, you need His Majesty's consent."
"yes."
Su Man slowly smiled.
next day
Su Man got up early in the morning and went to the private room of the teahouse to drink tea.
Last night, she had someone send a message to Yu Yuanbai, asking him to meet her here after the court session. But she waited anxiously for more than half an hour before Yu Yuanbai arrived.
When Yu Yuanbai entered the room, he was still wearing court robes. He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea without saying a word. He drank it in one gulp before speaking.
"I'm sorry, sister. I just came back from court."
Su Man filled his tea cup again and asked, "Brother, why are you so late today?"
Yu Yuanbai's eyebrows danced with joy. "Sister, you're truly amazing! This morning, the Imperial Censor reported Nie You for having secret dealings with the bank. This infuriated the Emperor, who not only rejected his order to investigate the bank but also ordered him to return home and reflect on his mistakes. It seems he's really angry. And guess what? The Emperor gave me this assignment, asking me to hand it over to Nie You and investigate the bank incident within seven days."
[Nie You loses his Sacred Heart, his Luck value decreases by 20, and his current Luck value is 35]
Su Man smiled and said, "I was just guessing, but I didn't expect that I would really catch a dead mouse."
Yu Yuanbai said cheerfully, "After the court session, I asked Nie You for the documents, but he kept making excuses. Fortunately, I've already done most of the secret investigation and will be able to hand it in soon. Sister, you really helped me a lot."
Su Man nodded. "The national treasury is empty now, and the matter of the bank is very urgent. If my brother can do this job well, my Yu family will surely have a firm foothold in the court."
"Yes, yes, yes."
After Yu Yuanbai finished speaking, he suddenly remembered, "Hey sister, why did you call me here today?"
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that I want a divorce."
"Oh, divorce."
Yu Yuanbai took a sip of tea, and when he realized what was happening, he spat it out, "What? You want a divorce?"
"Um."
Seeing she wasn't joking, Yu Yuanbai also became more serious. "Sister, although I've wanted you to leave that bastard Nie You for a long time, this divorce is no small matter. The emperor married you to Nie You out of gratitude for your father's loyalty, and he also hoped that we, the generals, could live in harmony. He won't give in easily. Besides, Nie You is in the center of the storm right now. How could he possibly speak to the emperor about this?"
"It's not difficult to get Nie You to speak, but the difficult part is how to get His Majesty to agree."
"you mean?"
Su Man smiled slightly, "I remember that when the emperor granted us marriage, Princess Pingyang of Prince Kang made a fuss for a long time."
Prince Kang is the emperor's younger brother. Although he has three sons, he only has one daughter, Princess Pingyang, whom he dotes on like a spoiled child.
When Nie You returned to the capital, he was spotted by Princess Pingyang, who immediately fell in love with him and asked Prince Kang to propose marriage. However, she was too late, as the Emperor had already granted the marriage.
She made a fuss for a long time, but after all, the marriage was granted by the emperor, and even King Kang had no other choice. Later, the family of Princess Pingyang's husband was implicated in the scandal and exiled. Princess Pingyang was not implicated because she divorced him.
Yu Yuanbai also recalled this past event, "What do you mean?"
Su Man smiled and said, "If the Lord of Pingyang knew that Nie You wanted to divorce me, do you think she would ask Prince Kang to grant the marriage to His Majesty? If Prince Kang asked, do you think His Majesty would agree?"
Yu Yuanbai thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty and Prince Kang are born of the same mother and have a very close relationship. If he asks, Your Majesty will naturally agree."
Su Man smiled but said nothing.
