The sharp cry echoed in the silent teahouse. Jinxiu shuddered and her voice began to tremble.

Yuhe patted her shoulder and whispered, "She is already at the end of her strength and can't hurt you."

Jinxiu's face was pale, and she lowered her head and spoke softly.

The room where Chu Huan was staying was closer to He Huilan. When he heard her scream of collapse, he knew that the result was determined and he could not guarantee that he would not be implicated.

His gloomy brows were full of anger, idiot...

He thought He Huilan was smart. He knew who killed Liu Ruyan. After her death, he sent Zhongwu to investigate, but he could not find any clues. He never interfered with the women's fight for favors in the backyard of his house, but he would never threaten the interests of the Chu family.

He stood up, looking somewhat thoughtful, and looked at the maid beside him with his eyes slightly downcast: "Please help me get some paper and pen."

The maid lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The paper and pen were quickly brought. The maid stood aside, and when she stepped back, she looked up and saw two thin words on it: "Divorce."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to sigh that Mr. Chu was unlucky or ruthless.

————

The room was silent. Jiang Yuanyi didn't want to argue with He Huilan, so he turned his head slightly to look at the two maids and prepared to leave.

A breeze blew gently, blowing up the hair beside her cheeks. Jiang Yuanyi glanced to the side and saw He Huilan suddenly leaning forward, grabbing her face with her sharp fingertips. Jiang

Yuanyi slightly turned to the left, and He Huilan's hand brushed past her nose.

Before the palace maids could react, Jiang Yuanyi quickly stood up, grabbed He Huilan's hands with both hands, pulled her up, and then kicked her in the stomach.

"Gag~~~~"

He Huilan fell to the ground, her stomach twitching and aching. She supported herself with her hands and vomited a few times, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up.

The guards and palace maids on the side were stunned.

Especially the palace maids beside Mingyue, they had seen Jiang Yuanyi several times before. At that time, she was clearly a weak and frail woman, but now, her movements were neat and tidy, and her strength was just right. The aura that was deliberately suppressed before was now fully revealed, and she stood upright, like a straight sword.

Jiang Yuanyi walked in front of He Huilan and half-knelt down, looking at He Huilan's ferocious and terrifying face with a faint look in his eyes: "You reaped what you sowed, don't blame me."

"If you hadn't poisoned me today, I wouldn't have found a reason to get rid of you."

Jiang Yuanyi moved closer, and that flawless, stunning face appeared in front of He Huilan.

She clenched her fists tightly, and said to Jiang Yuanyi with a smile: "You have offered your life to me, there is no reason for me not to accept it."

He Huilan gritted her teeth, and the voice squeezed out from between her teeth: "Jiang Yuanyi..."

The door was knocked softly, and a palace maid stood at the door and whispered.

"Master Chu sent someone to get the letter."

He Huilan seemed to have come back to her soul, and her empty eyes were bright. She pushed Jiang Yuanyi away and crawled to the palace maid with her hands and feet.

"Give it to me!" He Huilan covered the burning pain in her stomach and tried to stand up, but her legs and feet were sore. She tried several times and finally gave up, looking up at the palace maid fiercely.

The maid didn't know what to do, so she held the paper higher and looked at Jiang Yuanyi with an inquiring look.

Jiang Yuanyi could guess what was written in the letter and nodded.

The maid put down her hand and handed the thin paper to He Huilan.

He Huilan hurriedly grabbed it. Her expression of joy just now was completely frozen after she saw the two words at the top of the letter.

There were only a few sentences on the letter. At the top, there were two words written: "Divorce."

The words were vigorous and thin, and they were the love words he had written to her.

"Divorce... You actually divorced me..." She cried blood in her eyes and read the words on the paper over and over again.

"Hahahahaha~~~~"

She held the paper in her hand and suddenly laughed crazily. With trembling thin arms, he held onto the door frame, stood up with difficulty, and walked out.

Jiang Yuanyi motioned them not to stop.

It was quiet outside. Snow had begun to fall again without anyone noticing, and everything was quiet.

She stood there, hearing the woman's dragging footsteps rubbing against the ground as she moved forward slowly, and heard her call, "Chu Huan."

After calling for an unknown number of times, the door was gently opened.

A handsome young man in a white robe stood tall, with a handsome face. He looked familiar yet unfamiliar to He Huilan.

He Huilan asked hoarsely: "Since you treat me like this... why did you marry me in the first place!"

Chu Huan frowned and looked at her with some disgust: "You are so mean-spirited, how dare I keep you as my wife."

He Huilan burst into tears: "I... want to hear the truth..."

She remembered that when the peach blossoms had just bloomed that year, Jinxiu ran into the house excitedly with a basket of freshly picked flowers and threw it aside. The petals, still covered with dew, scattered all over the ground, with a fresh pink color and floral fragrance.

She put down the half-embroidered purse and looked up at Jinxiu: "What happy thing happened?"

Jinxiu panted and whispered in her ear: "I was in the front hall and met Prime Minister Chu and the old man. I heard a few words. They said that the marriage between the two families was settled."

She still remembered her mood at that time, as if she was fed the sweetest candied fruit.

Later, the two families met once. She wore a white veil to the banquet and a carefully made dress.

She followed her mother in and saw a handsome and elegant young man who was on a business trip standing by the window, smiling at her, with curved eyebrows and full of tenderness, just like the lover in her dreams.

The two sat far apart, and before leaving, he secretly slipped a note into her hand.

"I can't help but feel happy to marry you."

...

Chu Huan frowned as he watched her crying. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Because you are the legitimate daughter of the He family. Family marriage, each party gets what it wants..."

Xiaoqing and Xiuyuan had just arrived under the archway of the courtyard when they saw He Huilan rushing forward regardless of everything. Xiaoqing grabbed Xiuyuan and turned around.

Before Chu Huan finished speaking, a muffled sound came from his ear. It was like a thunder that shocked the sky, and the sky darkened.

Chu Huan froze in place for a moment, his throat seemed to be clogged with cotton balls soaked in chili oil. It was so hot that it burned a part of his chest.

The guards beside him hurried forward.

Chu Huan looked at the bright sky and the clear mountains in the distance, and he stiffly bumped through them one by one.

He Huilan fell in a pool of blood, and the bright red blood dyed the soft white fox fur around her face with a fishy smell. Her eyes looked at him, and her lips moved.

Chu Huan didn't dare to walk towards her, but he recognized her lip shape.

"No one in this world will love you except me."

He froze in place slowly, and heard Jinxiu running out crying, pushing through the crowd and hugging He Huilan.

——Unable

to hear anything outside, with her ears tightly covered, Jiang Yuanyi raised her hand and gently held Xiao Tuo's hand: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tuo let her go, Jinxiu's crying continued to come, Jiang Yuanyi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Tuo.

Xiao Tuo touched her cheek and said softly: "She committed suicide."

Jiang Yuanyi was silent for a while, nodded, turned and walked out.

The guards had carried He Huilan away, and the blood on the ground had been cleaned up. The Ministry of Justice sent people, and Yuhe handed all the confessions to the Minister of Justice. Chu Huan and Jinxiu were both taken away.

Jiang Yuanyi looked at Chu Huan's dazed profile and felt a little ironic.

Xiao Tuo took Jiang Yuanyi's hand, walked out, and said, "Let's go home."

Jiang Yuanyi came back to her senses and held his hand tighter: "Okay."

What happened at the tea party soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone was shocked by He Huilan's audacity and cruelty.

"Isn't this woman too bold?!"

"You can't tell a person's heart from his face. I've seen the girl from the He family several times before. She looks gentle and kind, but I didn't expect..." "

Mr. Chu is so pitiful... I thought I married a good wife, but I didn't expect the person next to me to be so vicious!"

"But I heard that Mr. Chu wrote a divorce letter on the spot... Isn't it too cruel..."

Upon hearing this, the people on the side started to refute without hesitation, with a righteous look.

"Mr. Chu is a righteous and kind person, but he married such a wife. Shouldn't he divorce her?!"

"Yes, if you want to blame someone, blame her."

"I heard that many people are going to the Chu family to propose marriage..."

"No way, so soon."

...

On the fifth day after Princess Hui's birthday party ended and Xiuyuan was rescued, Jiang Yuanyi received a letter from Xiuyuan, saying that she remembered some details of that day.

She was unconscious that day and saw Jinxiu.

She called Xiuyuan, thinking that if Jinxiu didn't admit it, she would let Xiuyuan identify her. But Jiang Yuanyi suddenly remembered Jinxiu's sister, and didn't use Xiuyuan, but frightened the little girl.

She sent Xiaoqing to deliver some tranquilizers.

Jiang Yuanyi remembered that Jinxiu's sister Qiaoyu had brought her hot porridge in the middle of the night in her previous life, so she quickly sent someone to bring Jinxiu's sister to her house. The thin and frail girl knelt in front of Jiang Yuanyi tremblingly.

"From now on, you will be named Zhuyu."

Zhuyu folded her hands, put her forehead on them, and whispered, "Yes."

Jiang Yuanyi looked at her and said softly, "Can you blame me?"

Zhuyu raised her head abruptly and shook it vigorously: "Although Zhuyu has never read poetry since childhood, she is not a person who does not understand reason. Whether it is my sister or my lady, it is all their own fault. You are not to blame at all."

Jiang Yuanyi touched her head and said, "Now , I am your lady."

Zhuyu blushed slightly, Xiaoqing came over to help her up: "Let's go, I'll take you to change clothes."

The environment and work in the Duke's Mansion are all easy, Zhuyu was not used to it at first, but the maids here who are more experienced than her are very friendly, including the housekeeper, who never scolds or beats. The whole Duke's Mansion, from top to bottom, is a harmonious group. Zhuyu has never lived in such an environment.

After Xiaoqing served Jiang Yuanyi, she went back to the house with a few maids, chatting and laughing, and saw Zhuyu sitting on the stairs in front of the door.

She greeted them, walked over in small steps, and sat down beside her: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhuyu turned around and smiled shyly: "I was thinking about my sister."

Xiaoqing propped up her chubby face and smiled: "If your sister knew that you are following such a good master now, she would definitely feel relieved."

Zhuyu nodded: "Yeah."

She knew that from the beginning to the end, it was the debt owed by her sister and Miss He's family. The lady's willingness to take her in was a great kindness and favor.

Sister, I hope that in the next life, we will not meet the He family.

She gently closed her eyes and made a wish.

——The

thick snow piled up in winter gradually melted, the spring water irrigated the soil, and the green grass gradually emerged from the soil.

"My wife..." Xiao Tuo called out. He was already dressed and went to his still sleeping wife's face and pecked her gently.

Jiang Yuanyi opened her eyes in a daze. Her tender white arms stretched out from the quilt and hooked around Xiao Tuo's shoulders. She asked softly, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Tuo shrunk into the quilt again and hugged her, "You forgot, the emperor is going to Nanwu Mountain to pay homage to the late emperor today and hold a grand ceremony to pray for blessings. I have to go with him."

Jiang Yuanyi leaned on his arms and nodded dazedly, "Yeah, I remember."

Xiao Tuo couldn't bear to hug her tighter, lifted her chin, kissed her hard, gently opened the quilt and walked out. It

was still dark when Xiao Tuo took the sword that Lian Fei handed over, stretched his waist and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Yuanyi was already used to getting up at dawn. She changed into her training clothes and began to practice acupuncture in the yard.

This was specially designed by Xiao Tuo for her. She had little strength, but her movements were quick and agile, with high accuracy, good eyesight, and she had studied medicine, was used to playing with needles, and was familiar with people's acupuncture points.

A human-shaped puppet was placed on the arena, with various acupuncture points densely written on it.

Jiang Yuanyi stood fifteen steps away, running around in circles, and accurately inserted the needle into the acupuncture point she wanted.

She stopped to rest, Xiao Qing hurried forward to wipe the sweat off her face, Zhu Yu handed her warm water, and suddenly a stone hit her side.

"Puff-puff-" a few dull sounds.

Xiaoqing and Zhuyu looked around: "Who threw it?"

Jiang Yuanyi found the direction accurately, and saw Mingyue lying on the wall, afraid of falling down, looking at herself with a smile, her bright eyes were like two crescent moons. Jiang Yuanyi

had a headache, how could she forget about this.
