Chapter 165 Pay or Move Out
Mo Qing quickly slipped out.
Pei Yanchuan crumpled the letter of divorce in his hand into a ball and threw it into the small stove for brewing tea.
For several days in a row,
Pei Yanchuan also failed to catch up with Jiang Wanning.
Upon returning to the capital, before he could even go back to the Prince's residence, he was kicked out.
“Well, my master said this place,” Ah San pointed to the ground under his feet, “also belongs to her.”
"Please, everyone, go back to where you came from."
Mo Qing was about to say something more when Ah San slammed the door shut.
“No,” Mo Qing pointed to the gate of the Prince’s mansion, “Your Highness, you were not only divorced, but also kicked out of the house?”
“Yu Hai said that this is called leaving with nothing.” Mo Ran added, “Yu Hai also said that in the case of the prince, it is considered marital infidelity, so he should leave with nothing.”
Pei Yanchuan's handsome face darkened further. "Break down the door."
He had also heard Yu Hai say that when a woman says no, she really means yes; and when a woman is angry and ignores you, it doesn't mean she really doesn't want to talk to you. You have to be assertive, or something bad might really happen.
Since everyone listens to Yu Hai, he will listen to Yu Hai too.
Use Yu Hai to defeat Yu Hai.
"Yes!" Mo Qing took a few steps back, then took a running start and rushed forward.
Just as I rushed over, the door was suddenly opened.
Mo Qing couldn't stop in time and fell flat on his face.
Ah San stuck his head out and said, "My master said that if the prince breaks in, she will spread the story about how you fell down from a tree when you were a child and your pants were still hanging on the tree."
Ah San spoke loudly, and the people passing by overheard him, but because of Pei Yan Chuan's status, they didn't dare to stop and could only slow down.
Mo Qing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look back. "Your Highness, is that so?"
Pei Yanchuan's face darkened, then reddened, then darkened again. Seeing that Ah San still wanted to say something, he immediately scolded, "Shut up!"
After saying that, he turned and left, and Mo Qing quickly got up and chased after him.
Pei Yanchuan circled around and arrived at the south gate of the Prince's Mansion.
This is the gate that Pei Anqing often uses in his courtyard.
"Your son greets Father." Pei Anqing bowed slightly, feigning respect. "Congratulations, Father, on your triumphant return."
"Um."
Pei Yanchuan didn't say anything more and walked straight into the courtyard.
They chose a room that was closest to the main courtyard.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Wanru asked, puzzled.
Pei Anqing narrowed his eyes. "Does he know something?"
"Probably not, there's been no news from the palace."
"Never mind, his sudden return has already disrupted the plan. Right now, his army is still behind us, and there's only him and a small number of his personal guards."
"Whether it's numbers or anything else, we have the advantage."
"Besides, even if we lose this time, someone will take the blame, won't they?"
Jiang Wanru's words reassured Pei Anqing a lot; he had been waiting for this day for far too long.
The next day.
The news that Prince Pei Yanchuan of Langya had been divorced and left penniless, unable even to enter the palace, spread throughout the streets and alleys.
In no time, a long line of young men came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to propose to Jiang Wan Ning.
Jiang Wan Ning accepted all the gifts without missing a single one, but she didn't see any of the people present.
"Sister." Jiang Wanru walked over with small steps. "Sister has been back for so long, and I'm only coming to see you now. I'm so sorry."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't even lift her eyelids, pruning the messy flower branches in her hands. "What? You've already forgotten the rules after just meeting?"
Jiang Wanru remained completely calm, sitting directly opposite Jiang Wanning. She picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea, and said, "Didn't you divorce the prince, sister?"
"This huge palace has nothing to do with you, sister. I call you sister out of consideration for the years you were raised in the Marquis's mansion. Do you expect me to call you princess or mother as well?"
As Jiang Wanru spoke, she pushed the teacup toward Jiang Wanning.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Wan Ning's face, trying to see a trace of forbearance and sadness in her expression.
"I heard that Your Highness has someone else outside?" Jiang Wanru said again.
Unexpectedly, she did not see Jiang Wan Ning's sadness as she had hoped. The other party simply smiled slightly, gently picking up the delicate teacup with two fingers, "You are so well-informed."
"You should have heard that this palace now belongs to me."
"So, the courtyard where you can stay is also mine. You've come at the right time today, saving me the trouble of making another trip."
"Pack your things and get out of here with Pei Anqing."
After saying that, Jiang Wan Ning poured the tea in her hand onto the ground.
Jiang Wanru was slightly taken aback. She really didn't expect that she had come here to kick someone when they were down, but instead was told that she would be kicked out as well.
"Are you kidding me? This manor belongs to the prince. An Qing is the prince's adopted son, but you have nothing to do with the manor anymore."
"The whole world is watching. Do you really think you can just give this royal palace to me like that?"
Jiang Wan Ning gave a mocking smile, "Since you're still so stupid, I'll let you get lost and understand why."
"Ah San, go and get the things."
Haitang and Shaoyao are still recovering from their injuries, and Jiang Wanning is currently being constantly attended to by A-San.
The Indian man was already prepared; he took out the items shortly after entering the room.
They didn't even give it to Jiang Wanning, but threw it directly at Jiang Wanru's face.
"Open your dog eyes and look, whose name is on this land deed?"
The Indian man pointed to the land deed that had fallen onto the table, "And this, it's evidence personally stamped by His Majesty."
Ignoring her anger, Jiang Wanru picked up the land deed on the table and looked at the last stroke of the pen.
The sign clearly stated that the Prince's Mansion did not belong to Jiang Wan Ning, including the Wen Zhu Courtyard where she currently resided.
Originally, this courtyard was also an independent residence, with only a moon gate connecting the two.
“Isn’t Wenzhu Courtyard registered under An Qing’s name alone?” Jiang Wanru swept her arm across the land deed. “This must be fake.”
"I don't believe you, you must be faking it."
"What?" Jiang Wan Ning slowly raised her head. "You can't handle it already?"
"It's just a courtyard. You can continue to live here, but you'll have to pay rent."
"Don't try to fool me. Even if this palace is yours, Wenzhu Courtyard was set aside separately. What right do you have to take it away?"
Jiang Wanning remained calm and unhurried, "It's probably because Pei Anqing mortgaged him to a gambling den, which happens to be my property."
Jiang Wanning met Jiang Wanru's utterly shocked eyes. "Oh right, and everything in your yard too."
"Do you think the gambling dens think he's from the Langya Prince's Mansion and they can't easily take him in?"
"It's just that I didn't think it mattered if there were two more pugs, so I never asked you to leave."
"Furthermore, I used to be your mother, so you could stay here. But now I have nothing to do with you anymore, so staying in this courtyard is a different matter."
Jiang Wanru was stunned. She had originally planned to see Jiang Wanning make a fool of herself, but she never expected to be so easily manipulated by Jiang Wanning.
"So? Have you made up your mind?" Jiang Wan Ning rested her chin on her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Pay or move out."
