Chapter 263 Divorce
Shen Mingzhu's heart was torn in two and crushed by Zhao Jue's cold and ruthless words.
She looked terrified and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Third Master, I am pregnant with your child, you can't divorce me."
During this period of time, she saw through Zhao Jue.
This man is cold-hearted and heartless.
Even so, she would hold on to him tightly.
She was alone and had no family to rely on. If she was divorced, she would have no place to stay and would have to endure the criticism of the world.
Shen Mingzhu had had enough of the hard times and no longer wanted to live her previous life.
"Shen Mingzhu, my child doesn't need a stupid and vicious mother." Zhao Jue sneered, "The child probably doesn't want to be born in your belly, so you can't keep either one or both of them."
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, she felt a strong hatred in her heart.
If he hadn't divorced his wife and remarried, why would she have lost the baby in her belly?
This man actually turned around and blamed her for being stupid and vicious, and not worthy of being a mother.
It was simply killing her heart.
"Zhao Jue, I'm not worthy of being his mother. Are you worthy of being his father?"
Shen Mingzhu was irritated and said emotionally, "You and I are the same. I don't deserve to have children, and you don't deserve to have children either."
Zhao Jue's face suddenly turned gloomy. He was too lazy to deal with Shen Mingzhu anymore. He took the doctor's pen and ink, wrote a letter of divorce, and threw it at Shen Mingzhu.
"There was always a mismatch between us. If I could, I would rather not bring you back to the capital."
Zhao Jue said coldly, "From now on, you and I are no longer husband and wife."
"I don't agree. I'm pregnant with your child. Even if I report this to the authorities, you can't divorce me!"
Shen Mingzhu jumped off the bed and said hysterically: "Zhao Jue, you married me, unless I die, you can't get rid of me!"
Zhao Jue looked at Shen Mingzhu's crazy appearance. There was a madness of desperate struggle in her eyes, and her last bit of patience was gone.
He ordered, "Mother Liu, throw her out."
Mother Liu was a maid in the mansion. After hearing what Zhao Jue said, she hurried into the house, grabbed Shen Mingzhu's hands, and dragged her out forcefully.
Shen Mingzhu felt a bone-chilling coldness and her whole body was cold.
Zhao Jue's ruthlessness was beyond her imagination. He threw her out of the Zhao family without caring about the child in her belly.
Shen Mingzhu struggled desperately: "Zhao Jue, you are so heartless and disloyal, you will be punished... mmm..."
The servant covered Shen Mingzhu's mouth with a handkerchief, dragged her to the front door, and pushed her out forcefully.
Shen Mingzhu's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
She gasped in pain and lay on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the empty street and suddenly felt like a dead leaf that had fallen off a branch and was drifting away, without roots or support.
She looked at the Zhao Mansion with resentment. The man she had thought would grow old with her had completely abandoned her, just like he had abandoned Shen Qingtan.
It started to drizzle under the gray sky, soaking Shen Mingzhu all over.
Shen Mingzhu was unaware of anything and walked forward aimlessly.
Suddenly, the rain overhead stopped.
Shen Mingzhu stopped and looked at the pair of cloud-head shoes that appeared in front of her.
The cloud-head shoes are very exquisite, with ruyi patterns embroidered in gold and silver threads and inlaid with pearls the size of rice grains, which is extremely luxurious.
Her gaze moved upwards, finally stopping on Shen Qingtan's face, and the hatred in her heart burst out.
If she grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, then she and Zhao Jue would be childhood sweethearts.
Zhao Jue would not despise her for growing up in the countryside and being inferior to Shen Qingtan in every way.
He was so cruel and heartless that he divorced her, leaving her alone and helpless for the rest of her life.
"Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" Shen Mingzhu regarded Shen Qingtan as a thorn in her side and said ferociously, "If you hadn't taken my identity, I would have grown up in the Marquis' Mansion. Zhao Jue would have liked me and wouldn't have been so cruel to me."
Shen Qingtan said calmly, "You think you are not good enough, that's why Zhao Jue doesn't like you."
She said cryptically, "Then do you know the identity of Yue Niang, the woman Zhao Jue married today?"
Shen Mingzhu had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, she heard Shen Qingtan say slowly, "Yue Niang is the flower lady of Chunfeng Tower, and she is also the beloved daughter of the Second Master."
"No... Impossible."
Shen Mingzhu was greatly shocked. She had always felt inferior about her background and believed that Zhao Jue did not like her because she grew up in the countryside and was not as outstanding as the daughters of wealthy families.
But now when Shen Qingtan told her that Zhao Jue would rather marry a prostitute than her, her psychological defenses completely collapsed.
"You lied to me on purpose. You just can't stand seeing me doing well, so you deliberately used words to provoke me. I won't let you succeed."
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Qingtan, Zhao Jue abandoned me for another woman. I followed in your footsteps. Are you very proud of yourself?"
"What you said is not correct." Shen Qingtan tilted the oil-paper umbrella in his hand towards Shen Mingzhu: "It's not that Zhao Jue abandoned me, but I chose the Second Master."
"When I got off the wedding sedan, I recognized the Second Master. I married him willingly."
Shen Qingtan curved her lips and said, "I can expose the truth before the wedding and set things right. A man like Zhao Jue, who is fickle, is not worthy of me entrusting myself to him. Since you've gone to such great lengths to get him, I'll give him to you."
Shen Mingzhu was dumbfounded. She had always thought that their plan had succeeded, but who knew that Shen Qingtan had already known about it.
And she took advantage of the situation and married Zhao Yi.
"Zhao Jue divorced you, so you have nowhere to go, right?" Shen Qingtan handed her the key to a villa: "To thank you for facilitating my marriage with the Second Master, I'm giving you this villa."
This villa was the one where Shen Qingtan was burned to death in the previous life.
After Zhao Jue was expelled from the clan, the villa fell into the hands of Shen Qingtan.
She now gave it to Shen Mingzhu, hoping that Shen Mingzhu would not let her down.
