Qiao Nai was informed by the doorman early in the morning that Gu Hesheng was blocking the door of the palace and wanted to see her.
The servant said Gu Hesheng was anxious, believing Wei Qian had come to the palace yesterday to deliver a betrothal gift to Qiao Nai. He was afraid Qiao Nai would accept, so he had wanted to rush over last night. However, he was afraid to disturb Qiao Nai's rest, so he tossed and turned all night. In the morning, before dawn, he stood guard at the palace gate.
Qiao Nai tried to imagine him limping and standing at the gate of the palace, but he couldn't imagine it for a moment.
The servant's words didn't convey any of his masterly airs. Instead, he looked pitiful and miserable. Like a discarded doll, he stood there silently, blinking his eyes, waiting for his master to change his mind.
But in her impression, he was always cold and seldom spoke to her. When he faced her, he just listened to her distantly and didn't really take her to heart.
He seldom paid attention to her. He didn't care whether the mansion had deducted the expenses for her courtyard, nor did he care about her fear of being left alone in a strange place.
He just wanted her to behave in a way that matched the title of Shangshu's wife. He didn't care whether she wanted to socialize for him or deal with things for him.
She always tried to please him, considering whether his work would be affected and worrying about his recurring high fever when he was sick.
He took her kindness to him for granted and never appreciated anything she did.
Perhaps, to him, what she did was just something an ordinary servant could do. She was no different from those people.
Will such a cold and distant person care about me one day?
Qiao Nai really couldn't imagine it.
She didn't want to think about it anymore.
She didn't want to continue to be entangled with him.
She told the concierge she would not see him.
But that person still persisted.
Finally, with no other choice, he proposed the appointment at Wangjiang Tower.
Qiao Nai agreed.
She took out the divorce papers she had prepared, wanting to take this opportunity to end it as soon as possible.
But Qiao Si told her that Chen Ping came to Dingzhou last night.
Throughout Chen Ping's journey, people from the chess club secretly guided her every step of the way, slowly leading her here just to let Qiao Nai take revenge personally.
Qiao Nai calmed down and agreed to join forces with Qiao Si to lure the snake out of its hole and fish her out.
Yuqing was worried about her, afraid that Chen Ping would do something extreme and hurt Qiao Nai.
The princess's order to her was to prevent Qiao Nai from getting hurt in the slightest.
For safety reasons, Yuqing and Qiao Nai exchanged identities.
Yuqing has some experience in the world of martial arts, so she is very adept at disguising herself as Qiao Nai.
She and Qiao Nai are of similar height to me, but Qiao Nai has a small frame due to long-term illness, so he looks very young.
Yuqing specially found something to pad her body to change her unique posture.
She used her bone-shrinking skills and moved slightly, and soon, a fake Qiao Nai stood before her eyes vividly.
If you are not very familiar with the person, you will not be suspicious.
They boarded the palace's carriage and arrived at Wangjiang Tower without incident.
Near noon, there were quite a few people on the first floor of Wangjiang Tower, but above the second floor, there were private rooms and almost no people.
Qiao Nai followed behind Yu Qing, acting diligently.
Led by the shop assistant, the fake Qiao Nai walked ahead with light steps.
No one can easily see the flaw.
Gu Hesheng didn't notice anything wrong either.
After the fake Qiao Nai went in, Gu Hesheng stood up and walked to her side attentively, wanting to help her sit down.
"Nana, you're here. Come, let me help you sit down."
The fake Qiao Nai dodged his outstretched hand and sat down by herself.
Looking at her like this, Gu Hesheng thought that she still hated him and didn't want to have any more contact with him.
Didn't think much about it.
He withdrew his hand somewhat disappointedly, but quickly convinced himself, smiled, and sat down.
Qiao Nai was standing behind them and could see everything clearly.
She watched him sit down dejectedly, her heart calm.
Yuqing's fake Qiao Nai is very similar to Qiao Nai, she can even imitate Qiao Nai's voice and tone.
Although it sounds a little awkward, it is enough to deal with Gu Hesheng and Chen Ping in secret.
She went straight to the point and asked Ai to take out the divorce papers and place them on the table in front of them.
"This is the divorce agreement. Please sign it and we'll find a time to go to the government office to notarize it."
Gu Hesheng didn't expect Qiao Nai to be so decisive.
They had just met again on the street yesterday, and the next day, she had prepared the divorce papers and was just waiting for his signature.
He didn't want to end their relationship so quickly and easily.
He looked at Qiao Nai in front of him affectionately, slowed down his tone, and looked like he was willing to discuss everything.
"Nana, I know you want to draw a line between you and me.
But everything that happened before was because Chen Ping bewitched my mother.
I promise you that you will never be bullied again in the Gu family. I will protect you.
Chen Ping has been exiled, no one will hurt you anymore.
Nana, can we not get divorced?"
Gu Hesheng thought that every word he said was sincere and he could persuade Qiao Nai to change her mind.
Little did he know that he didn't even recognize the real Qiao Nai and didn't know her at all.
Qiao Nai saw it clearly from behind and couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with him.
The fake Qiao Nai did not accept his advice.
"I will live a better life without you. You want to trap me with such an excuse? It's impossible."
Gu Hesheng always felt that Qiao Nai's words in front of him were particularly unpleasant to the ear. Although he had some doubts, they were quickly suppressed.
"Nana, there have always been very few couples in our dynasty who divorce.
If you leave me, your future will only become more difficult. Would you rather be criticized and scolded by thousands of people than divorce me?"
Fake Qiao Nai frowned fiercely.
Gu Hesheng's words really made her angry.
What does it mean that if she divorces him, she will be criticized and scolded by thousands of people?
Isn't he the root of all this trouble?
The two of them are getting divorced because their family has gone too far!
Why should we put the blame on women?
Fake Qiao Nai's voice turned cold.
"Don't you know the reason why we're getting divorced?
After the divorce, someone will clear my name. I was never wrong in this marriage, and there's no need for me to sacrifice my life for your so-called insults!"
Gu Hesheng was blocked by her harsh words, that was not what he meant.
He was just worried that the divorce would have a bad impact on her, and if she remarried in the future, she would be criticized by others.
He just didn't want her to be blamed.
It's not to accuse her of her identity.
"Nana, that's not what I meant. I just don't want you to be implicated by this identity.
If I can change, then you won't have to suffer this, and you can still be the wife of the Gu family, and no one will say anything bad about you."
“I don’t need it.
Marrying you was a mistake.
Besides, there is no love between us, so there is no need for me to be tied up with you for the rest of my life."
The fake Qiao Nai was very straightforward. She asked the waiter at the door of the private room to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He must sign.
