As a princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, if she were to find ten men, not only would her parents disagree, but the spittle of the people in the capital would drown her.
Besides, she herself didn't have that hobby. She believed that quality was more important than quantity in a relationship, and that having just one worthy person to love was enough.
Ningbao glared at Lingling.
"You're just a cat, what do you know about our human world? Do you think I can find a man like you find a stray cat in the village, today it's Blackie, tomorrow it's Flower, the day after it's Yellow..."
We humans can only find one partner...
"Tch!" Lingling scoffed coldly.
"You must be ignorant."
The second house on the third street corner, the old man there is fifty years old and was taking a concubine the day before yesterday. It's said he already has eighteen concubines.
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
How do you know so much?
"You didn't go eavesdropping again, did you?"
Lingling's expression froze.
"What do you know? I'm just exploring the joys of life..."
"Meow! Meow!"
Suddenly, a cat meowed from outside the wall, and Lingling jumped up from her little bed.
"Little Flower came to see me. She said she's going to introduce me to a new female cat today."
I'll go check on you. Master, stop overthinking and go to sleep. Otherwise, you won't be able to cover your dark circles with makeup tomorrow.
As soon as Lingling finished speaking, a white shadow flashed before Ningbao's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Lingling disappeared.
"Ha! No wonder I go to bed so early every day."
So it turns out he was going out at night to meet his little wildcat.
........................
The next morning, after the court session ended, Shen Muyang directly asked the Emperor for the imperial decree to grant him the marriage.
After the imperial edict was read, Marquis Yongyi's face turned extremely dark. He hadn't expected Gu Yunrou to actually grant him a divorce.
"Gu Yunrou, what exactly do you want?"
Don't you feel ashamed to be asking for a divorce at your age?
Gu Yunrou gave a cold laugh.
"It's shameful. People in the capital have been laughing at the Marquis of Yongyi's family all these years. They must know how much they've been mocking him."
If even the Marquis himself doesn't feel ashamed, what is there for me, an upright and honest person, to be ashamed of?
Anyway, the imperial decree has already been issued, so I'm asking to step down to make those who have been eyeing the position of the Marquis's wife for years happy.
I don't care for anything from the Marquis's mansion; I only want to take my dowry.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, disobeying it is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. Even if Marquis Yongyi is unwilling, he has no way to stop it.
He looked coldly at Shen Muyang.
"Over the years, I, as your father, have indeed neglected you. Now that you've grown up and become capable, you know to ask for a divorce agreement on behalf of your biological parents."
You are the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongyi's family, and the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yongyi's family; this will not change.
When you get married, Marquis Yongyi will provide the betrothal gifts...
"My lord..."
"father.........................."
Upon hearing what Marquis Yongyi said, Aunt Wang and her son immediately became anxious. They had waited for so many years and finally had the opportunity to see Gu Yunrou and her son leave. If Shen Muyang continued to occupy the position of heir, wouldn't their joy have been in vain?
Before Aunt Wang and her son could say anything, Shen Muyang waved his hand directly at Marquis Yongyi.
"No need for betrothal gifts, and you can also take back the title of heir apparent. I will earn whatever I want myself."
However, I have one condition: I want to take my grandparents' memorial tablets with me…
