Chapter 386 I'd rather die than divorce you
He glanced at the evidence on the table, then at Lin Luoxi, who had moved home.
Lin Luoxi seemed oblivious to everyone's gaze and quietly ate her meal.
"Wife~" Xie Hanchuan seemed to have waited for Lin Wenqian to finish explaining before entering from outside the Lin family courtyard.
"Wife, I know I was wrong..." After saying that, he even bent his knees and knelt down in front of everyone.
Her aggrieved gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Lin Luoxi, who was calmly eating her meal.
"Ahem... Han Chuan, you're back. Come and have dinner with us!"
Seeing Xie Hanchuan's expression, Su Xue'er felt quite embarrassed and quickly invited him to come and eat.
The previous enthusiasm, when she had just heard that Xie Hanchuan had concealed his engagement with the Sixth Princess and was furiously supporting Lin Luoxi's divorce, was completely gone.
Now that they know Xie Hanchuan gave up even the title of top scholar in order not to marry the princess and not to be controlled by the emperor, the Lin family still thinks Xie Hanchuan is a good person based on this alone.
If a man is truly ungrateful, he wouldn't care if he had a pregnant wife or an eighty-year-old mother at home, as long as it could make him rich and powerful. He would abandon all conscience.
With those comparisons in mind, the Lin family, considering that Lin Luoxi was pregnant, wanted Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan to live a good life together.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Grandma..." Xie Hanchuan didn't expect the Lin family to be so understanding, and he said to Su Xue'er with a flattered expression.
He turned to look at Lin Luoxi, but she didn't speak, so he didn't dare to get up.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi was only focused on eating and ignoring Xie Hanchuan, Lin Lingtian, Lin Dayou, and the others smiled and stopped talking, instead lowering their heads to eat.
Madam Lin glanced at her daughter with concern but didn't say anything. Instead, she kept putting Lin Luoxi's favorite dishes into her bowl.
Seeing that his sister hadn't spoken, Lin Wenqian gave Xie Hanchuan a helpless look, then sat down next to his wife, Li Muqing, and began to eat.
Su Xue'er saw Xie Hanchuan kneeling there while everyone else was sitting at the table eating. She felt bad and wanted to say a few words to Lin Luoxi.
Lin Lingtian, who was beside her, pulled her clothes to stop her from talking nonsense. Seeing that everyone was waiting for Lin Luoxi to speak, Su Xue'er sighed helplessly and remained silent.
"Let's go!" Perhaps because the air was too quiet, Lin Luoxi ate a few bites, then stood up and walked towards her courtyard.
"Wife, I really know I was wrong." Xie Hanchuan, who was following behind, felt very aggrieved when he saw Lin Luoxi carrying all her things back to the Lin family.
He genuinely didn't know about the marriage agreement between his family and the royal family. His wife wouldn't give him a chance to explain and just moved all their belongings back. Was she planning to divorce him?
“Wife, I really didn’t know about my mother’s relationship with the royal family. If I had known, I would never have participated in the imperial examination.”
Xie Hanchuan, who was following behind Lin Luoxi, panicked when he saw that Lin Luoxi hadn't said a word.
"Xie Hanchuan, let's get a divorce!" After walking to the stone bench in her courtyard and sitting down, Lin Luoxi said calmly to Xie Hanchuan.
He then handed the divorce papers he had written over the past few days to Xie Hanchuan.
She was quite sad when she heard that Xie Hanchuan was engaged to the Sixth Princess, but she has come to terms with it in the past few days.
Human nature is the most unpredictable thing. Even if there is no sixth princess, there will be someone else in the future. It is better to part ways now and it will be better for everyone.
She is not incapable of supporting herself and her child, nor does she need to depend on a man for survival.
"Honey, I really know I was wrong, please don't be angry..."
When he was in the capital, holding the divorce papers Lin Wenqian had given him, he felt nothing but anger.
But when Lin Luoxi calmly told him she wanted a divorce, he completely panicked.
He tore the divorce papers on the stone table to shreds, rushed to Lin Luoxi, and hugged her tightly.
"Wife, you can kill me all you want, but I will never divorce you."
"I didn't know before either. If I had known, I would have told you..." Xie Hanchuan now hated the old emperor and the sixth princess and their group to the core.
If it weren't for the sudden revelation of their engagement, his relationship with Lin Luoxi wouldn't have reached this point.
Lin Luoxi glanced at Xie Hanchuan, who was still not telling the truth, reached out, and used a hidden force to push Xie Hanchuan aside.
“I hate it when people lie. You say you didn’t know about your family’s marriage to the Sixth Princess, so how do you know you’re a descendant of the Xie family…”
Lin Luoxi wasn't one of those simple-minded people in the Lin family who could be easily brushed off with a few words.
The people squatting outside the courtyard gate nodded in agreement after hearing what Lin Luoxi said.
Exactly, this Xie guy is too cunning, he's got too many tricks up his sleeve. Luo Xi should teach them a lesson.
“Wife, I, I, that was a joke my mother made with Consort Liu when she was pregnant with me and attending the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet in the palace.”
“My mother didn’t take it seriously. When she came back, she just mentioned it to my father, and they both thought it was impossible. Our family didn’t take it to heart…”
"The reason Consort Liu wants me to marry her daughter is because her daughter is promiscuous and has gotten pregnant by those male lovers many times. If she has another abortion this time, she will never be able to have children again, so she set her sights on me..."
"Wife, others have schemed against me like this, and not only do you not help me, you even want a divorce. It's so heartbreaking..."
"Do you want your child to be born without a father? But I can't be without my wife!"
When he was little, his mother taught him that if you want to pursue a girl, you have to be shameless.
If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility for it; even if you did nothing wrong, you must admit it.
"Don't get so close, you're affecting my breathing..." Lin Luoxi thought Xie Hanchuan's words made sense, but she didn't want to talk to him so soon, since he hadn't kept anything from her.
She didn't mention divorce again, pushed Xie Hanchuan away, and walked towards her own room.
Xie Hanchuan saw that Lin Luoxi's tone had softened and knew that there was hope, so he shamelessly followed her in.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can this kid be so shameless? My daughter told me to ignore him, but he still followed her inside?"
Lin Dayou, who was watching the commotion from outside, wanted to rush out when he saw Xie Hanchuan shamelessly follow him into the room.
"Father, what are you trying to do? Do you want my second sister to divorce him?"
"If that's really the case, can you really bear to see your second sister raise the child alone for the rest of her life?" Lin Wenqian quickly pulled Lin Dayou back from his impulsive act.
"Exactly, you're such a grown man, don't you know how to use your brain..."
