Chapter 360 I Agree to Divorce
Xiao Qingxi said sternly, "My affairs are none of your business, you're just a concubine's daughter!"
"Who dares to steal my child's father? Lin Rouxin? Hmph, that bitch doesn't deserve it!"
"Huo Yunzhou only pities her; he doesn't like her at all. The person he has always loved is me!"
As soon as she finished speaking firmly, a maid from her courtyard rushed in to report: "Princess, the young master has arrived. He couldn't find you in our courtyard, so he came directly here. May I ask if he can come in?"
"What? Huo Yunzhou is here again?"
Xiao Qingxi's face showed a hint of smugness: "Shen Wantang, did you hear that? The father of my child didn't even go to be with Lin Rouxin. He came to be with me instead! Cuiliu, go and call Huo Yunzhou in. Let Shen Wantang see how he begged me to come home!"
"Yes, Princess."
A moment later, Huo Yunzhou came in.
Xiao Qingxi raised her chin and asked in an arrogant tone, "Huo Yunzhou, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you that if you insist on taking Lin Rouxin as a concubine, you shouldn't come to see me again?"
Huo Yunzhou was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked tired, but his tone was much calmer than usual: "Qingxi, this is the last time I've come."
"What do you mean? Have my father and mother forbade you from stepping into the palace?"
"no."
Huo Yunzhou looked at her and said without hesitation, "I agree to the divorce. Let's sign the divorce papers today!"
Xiao Qingxi's arrogant expression shattered in an instant: "What did you say?! Huo Yunzhou, say it again!!"
"Qingxi, haven't you always wanted a divorce? I agree, let's get a divorce!"
Xiao Qingxi exclaimed incredulously, "Huo Yunzhou, are you out of your mind?! I'm carrying your child, and you dare to mention divorce to me?!"
"Qingxi, don't twist the truth. You're the one who proposed divorce, not me. I've been begging you not to divorce me, but you won't listen. You even want to divorce me."
"If you want to take a concubine, is it wrong for me to suggest divorce? Of course I can suggest divorce, but you can't say you agree!"
"You don't want a divorce anymore?"
"I, I..."
"It's too late."
"What do you mean 'late'? Huo Yunzhou, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'late'?!"
"I plan to marry Rouxin after the divorce."
"What?! You want to marry Lin Rouxin? No way! Absolutely not! I don't agree!"
Huo Yunzhou looked at her almost frantic screams, a trace of weariness flashing across his brows: "Qingxi, calm down. I'm here today to talk to you seriously."
"I can't calm down! You're going to marry Lin Rouxin, how can you expect me to calm down?!"
Huo Yunzhou shook his head, no longer trying to persuade her, and said, "Last night, Rouxin went to Jixin Nunnery. She has become a nun."
Xiao Qingxi was stunned for a moment, then screamed again: "She did it on purpose! She lied to you! Huo Yunzhou, you have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, but why can't you even see through a woman's most despicable trick?! Just because she became a nun, you want to divorce me? You even have the idea of marrying her? You are so stupid!"
"She didn't lie to me! She really did become a nun!"
Huo Yunzhou couldn't help but shout, "I just went to see her this morning, and she even cut off her long, thick, black hair, shaved it all off!"
"She was even ostracized and beaten because she had just arrived at Jixin Nunnery! All her money was stolen, she was covered in bruises, and she couldn't even get a bite to eat!"
"But she kept it all to herself. She didn't tell me anything. She wanted to cut ties with me and never see me again! Just because she was afraid of upsetting you!"
Xiao Qingxi broke down in tears: "She's faking it! She's faking it all! Just to make you feel sorry for her. You actually believed this kind of self-inflicted pain? You're completely brainless!"
Huo Yunzhou said angrily, "You are prejudiced against her, so no matter what she does, you can't stand it! She was genuinely injured, but you slander her as a self-inflicted injury!"
"I have been distancing myself from Rouxin for your sake, and I have even broken my promise to her father and brothers for your sake!"
“I didn’t take good care of her at all. It’s my fault that she was forced to become a nun. It’s my fault that she was bullied by those nuns! I’m so sorry to Uncle Lin and the Lin brothers!”
"I can't make another mistake. I want to bring Rouxin back and take care of her myself! Whether you like it or not, I will marry Rouxin!"
After Huo Yunzhou finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xiao Qingxi shouted behind him, "Huo Yunzhou, if you dare to walk out this door, I'll never speak to you again!"
Huo Yunzhou continued walking without stopping.
"Huo Yunzhou, I'm still carrying your child! It's one thing if you don't want me, but you don't even want the baby?!"
Huo Yunzhou had already reached the door, but he didn't turn around: "No, you can do it!"
Xiao Qingxi's eyes were bloodshot, and she cried out in anguish, "Huo Yunzhou, say that again?!"
Huo Yunzhou seemed not to hear anything. He pushed open the door and walked out without hesitation.
Xiao Qingxi stumbled and took several steps back.
Fortunately, Granny Kang and the maid reacted quickly and caught her in time; otherwise, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Her body was stiff and cold, her mind was blank, and she didn't even know how she got out of Wutong Garden.
After returning to her courtyard, she vomited a mouthful of blood, then everything went black and she fainted.
Her courtyard quickly descended into chaos, filled with cries, anxious shouts, calls for help, and pleas for the imperial physician…
When Shen Wantang arrived at Xiao Qingxi's courtyard, Princess Ning and Xiao Qingyuan had already arrived.
Upon seeing her, Princess Ning cried out as if she had found a lifeline: "Tang'er, come quickly and take a look at Qingxi! She has vomited blood and is now breathing very weakly; she is on the verge of death!"
Shen Wantang stepped forward to take Xiao Qingxi's pulse, and then gave her acupuncture.
After a while, Xiao Qingxi's breathing gradually returned to normal, and even her pale complexion improved significantly.
Shen Wantang put away the needles and said softly, "Mother, the princess fainted due to anger, but she is fine now. Fortunately, the princess has a good constitution, which is why she was able to get through this dangerous situation."
Princess Ning wiped away her tears: "It's one thing that Qingxi has a good constitution, but the most important thing is that you can treat her in time. I thank you on Qingxi's behalf."
"Mother, you don't need to be so polite. We're all family."
"I heard from Granny Kang that Qingxi fainted because Huo Yunzhou made her so angry. Is it because Huo Yunzhou wants to divorce Qingxi?"
“The princess was angry not only because Huo Yunzhou wanted to divorce her, but also because Huo Yunzhou said he wanted to marry Lin Rouxin.”
Princess Ning said coldly, "He's dreaming! Qingxi didn't even agree to him taking Lin Rouxin as a concubine, let alone marrying her! Qingxi is his legal wife. With Qingxi around, let's see who he dares to marry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingxi's hoarse voice rang out: "Mother, I won't get a divorce! I absolutely cannot let Lin Rouxin succeed! As long as I don't get a divorce, she can only ever be a concubine for the rest of her life!"
