Chapter 93: The Imperial Decree for Divorce Has Arrived! (Part 2)
Hearing this, Shen Yu'an became even more furious.
"I've already told you, forget it! The seven-day deadline has passed, and if Zhizhi hasn't collected 200,000 taels of relief funds, His Majesty won't grant her the imperial edict... Therefore, Zhizhi is still my wife!"
Xiao Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh? Are you so sure? But I heard... Zhizhi has already received the imperial decree to divorce her husband and is now leaving the palace!"
"impossible!"
Shen Yu'an interrupted him without thinking.
"I've been guarding outside the Marquis' Mansion all night and haven't seen Zhizhi leave the house. How could she possibly enter the palace?!"
Xiao Huaiyu tapped his chin with his fan and speculated.
"Maybe... Zhizhi saw you kneeling outside the door and was afraid you would stop her, so she left through the side door?"
Shen Yu'an obviously didn't take his words seriously.
"Humph, don't think I'll believe your lies just because you say that!"
result.
As soon as the words fell.
Xiao Huaiyu's eyes lit up and he looked up and said.
"They're back!"
Following his gaze, Shen Yu'an subconsciously turned his head to look, and actually saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion approaching slowly from a distance.
He raised his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously twice.
I thought I was seeing things.
But the carriage was getting closer and closer, and sitting in the front were the two girls, Baojuan and Chunhua.
“Ouch—”
The carriage soon stopped in front of the marquis's mansion.
Jiang Wanning was the first to open the curtain, and from a distance he could see the hundreds of betrothal gifts stretching from the Duke's Mansion all the way to the Marquis' Mansion.
Yes, the Ningguo Mansion and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion are not too far away from each other, just two streets away. Xiao Huaiyu must have really spent a lot of money today, and the betrothal gifts could not be put into the room even after going around two streets.
Not only did passersby become envious when they saw it, even she felt a little tempted to try it.
If Zhizhi didn't agree, she would have wanted to marry for her!
This is definitely a wealthy son-in-law. Even if you search the entire imperial capital, it would be difficult to find a few aristocratic families with more wealth than the Ningguo Duke's family!
She first looked up at Xiao Huaiyu who was riding on horseback, and gave him an admiring look.
Then he saw Shen Yu'an with a haggard face and couldn't help showing some disgust.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Shen Yu'an stopped abruptly, with the word "mother" still in his mouth, but he didn't have time to shout it out.
What does mother mean by this?
Had she seen him kneeling outside the mansion a long time ago? Yet she was still so cruel, making him kneel for the entire night and not letting him into the mansion.
As if he had seen through his confusion and complaints, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but sneer and said lightly.
"Don't look at me like that. Your elder brother has already used this self-torture trick! He was much more sincere than you. The night he knelt outside to admit his fault, it was thundering and raining, and he almost got taken away by the devil... But what can you do? Your elder sister-in-law is still determined not to see him.
Now Zhizhi doesn't want you anymore, you should be happy now, right? "
Hearing the last sentence, Shen Yu'an's eyes hurt and he subconsciously wanted to refute.
"No... Zhizhi wouldn't abandon me. She's just mad at me. She's pregnant with my child..."
Seeing that he was still dreaming, Jiang Wanning felt that they were talking at cross purposes and was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
He turned to look at Xiao Huaiyu and asked.
"Prince Xiao, what are you trying to do with all this fanfare? Are you trying to ask for someone's hand in marriage from my mansion?"
Xiao Huaiyu immediately jumped off the horse, brushed his clothes and knelt on one knee on the ground.
He bowed towards the carriage.
"I am Xiao Huaiyu of the Ningguo Mansion. I am willing to marry Miss Song with a betrothal gift of 500 tai! I hope Miss Song will be pleased to accept my offer. I have such a sincere heart."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu'an exploded.
He strode forward, grabbed Xiao Huaiyu by the chest, clenched his fist and was about to hit him in the face!
"Xiao Huaiyu, you bastard! How dare you covet Zhizhi and force someone to marry you in public? You are shameless—"
But before his fist landed, Xiao Huaiyu grabbed his wrist, then pushed him back two steps.
Although Xiao Huaiyu was still kneeling on the ground, he held his head high and chest out, looking very righteous.
"You are the one who betrayed me and was rejected by Zhizhi. A beautiful woman is sought after by many families. I was just afraid that Zhizhi would be snatched away by someone else, so I was the first to propose marriage. How can that be considered forced marriage?
Have you ever seen a bully who forced a girl to marry him kneel as straight as I do? "
"cough!"
Jiang Wanning raised his hand and pinched his throat, almost choking on his own saliva.
Prince Xiao is really humble. With the way he fights for a wife, who can beat him?
That person...
Jingxiang, come and learn this! Highlight every sentence! We're going to be tested!
Shen Yu'an was probably also shocked by Xiao Huaiyu's "big words" and was unable to respond for a long time. After all, he was the only playboy in the entire capital who was as flexible and adaptable as Prince Xiao.
Shen Yu'an's face turned pale and stiff before he said hatefully.
"You're dreaming! Not to mention that Zhizhi is my wife now, even if she were still a girl, she would look down on a playboy like you!
Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. It's only legitimate after the three letters and six ceremonies. How can you just bring the betrothal gifts and ask for marriage... What a joke!"
However, the words had not yet fallen.
Song Zhizhi opened the curtain of the carriage, leaned out and spoke loudly.
"I'll marry!"
Shen Yu'an's tone suddenly stopped, and his whole body shook violently.
He raised his eyes and looked straight at Song Zhizhi, as if he couldn't believe that she would say such words in front of him.
"Zhizhi, are you crazy?! No matter how mad you are at me, you shouldn't joke about marriage! There's no sincerity in a playboy like him. He just watched you play polo and thought it was fun, so he wants to take you for himself.
When he gets tired of you, or falls for another girl, he will turn against you and throw you away like a piece of trash!"
Song Zhizhi sneered and didn't take it seriously.
"So what? At least he gave me 500 Taiwan as a betrothal gift."
Shen Yu'an choked hard: "..."
Jiang Wanning stood aside and nodded, thinking that Zhizhi was indeed a businessman, more decisive than she had expected.
"Yeah! That's so much money, it's really hard to refuse. If it were me... I couldn't think of any reason to refuse. Besides, since they've already offered you a fortune, whether it's genuine or not doesn't seem to matter much."
Shen Yu'an still couldn't believe it and couldn't help but say.
"But, Zhizhi, you've only known him for a few days...you don't love him at all! I don't believe you really have no feelings for me at all!"
Song Zhizhi said.
"You can believe it, it's really gone."
“…”
"As for what happens between me and Prince Xiao, that's my business, so don't worry about it."
After saying that, Song Zhizhi walked past him and reached out to help Xiao Huaiyu.
But before she took two steps, Shen Yu'an grabbed her wrist, tightened his five fingers, and twisted her wrist with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to break her wrist bone.
"I can't possibly ask my child to recognize someone else as his father! Song Zhizhi, since you've married me, you're mine in life and mine in death!"
“Bang!”
