On the night of Ningyin's wedding, Shen Yun was urgently transferred to the frontier by the imperial court.
He was gone for more than half a year.
Later, her mother-in-law, Wang, disliked her for showing her face in public and told her not to interfere in the general's business.
She pointed at Ning Yin's nose and scolded, "Your status is already lowly, yet you still dare to show your face in public. The General's Mansion's business is none of your concern."
Ning Yin tried to explain, but Wang Shi ignored her and punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall.
He knelt for an entire day.
Aside from being away on campaigns year-round, Shen Yun had never written her a single letter.
Although he had saved my life, he was also the God of War of the Great Qi and a handsome man.
Even if she is marrying above her station, that cannot be a reason for him to hurt her time and time again.
Now that the country is peaceful and there is no war, he, Shen Yun, is her husband.
Having been back in Beijing for more than half a year, I have never spent a night in my own room.
I only bring myself along when I need to socialize or socialize.
To outsiders, the couple seemed to treat each other with utmost respect and lived in perfect harmony.
Everyone envied her for marrying such a good man as Shen Yun.
But who knows how difficult her situation was in this mansion?
Wang said she was useless and couldn't keep her husband's heart.
Her sister-in-law looked down on her, thinking that only a noblewoman like Yang Shuhuan was worthy of her brother.
They would use the power of the General's Mansion to coerce her at the drop of a hat.
What she found even more unbearable was that her grandmother passed away three months after she married into the general's family.
She didn't even get to see her grandmother one last time.
As for those monsters and demons in her maternal family, they were always thinking about how to bleed her dry.
She was like a lone blade of grass on the edge of a cliff, ignored by everyone.
Each and every incident pierced her heart like a knife.
Ning Yin's body trembled uncontrollably, and she could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart.
Looking at the man opposite her wearing a cloak, she didn't know whether she needed one.
She suddenly chuckled softly…
That's all...
It should have ended long ago...
The efforts I've made over the past year can definitely outweigh this life-saving grace.
She suddenly chuckled, looked up to meet the man's eyes, and uttered only a few words softly.
"Shen Yun, let's get a divorce!"
Upon hearing the sound, the man thought he had misheard and dropped the handkerchief in his hand.
He paused for a few seconds, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Are you crazy? Ning Yin!"
He was somewhat surprised and taken aback.
When will a woman dare to take the initiative to bring up the words "divorce"?
Besides, she was the daughter of a merchant.
After the divorce, this woman should know her situation better than anyone else.
"You heard me right. Please, General, have mercy and let me leave."
Shen Yun noticed her seriousness, suddenly leaned forward, grabbed the woman's chin hard, and sneered.
He had already explained, so why was this woman still so persistent?
As the general's wife, she lacks even this much magnanimity, which truly disgraces him.
The man's narrow eyes held a hint of anger as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate.
"Ningyin, are you... sure? Where can you go without me!"
Rain pattered down, and a few claps of thunder ripped across the sky.
Inside the study of the general's mansion, Shen Yun quickly wrote the divorce papers and affixed his seal.
The man looked up at Ning Yin, tapping his fingertips on the table as a gesture, but he was certain that the woman wouldn't dare sign.
But Ningyin's actions shocked him once again.
She took the pen and, without hesitation, wrote her name and pressed her fingerprint on it.
Ning Yin remained expressionless and blew on the still-wet ink.
She had considered all the consequences. Even without the protection of the general's mansion, she could still live well on her own.
Watching Ning Yin carefully tuck the divorce papers into her sleeve, he had a fleeting urge to snatch them back and tear them up.
Well then, as the Protector General of the Great Qi, how could he go back on his word?
However, Ning Yin's personality definitely needs to be tempered.
Once they've suffered the consequences, they'll naturally know to come back and admit their mistakes.
The next day, Shen Yun went to court as usual.
On the way back, I passed a pastry shop and remembered Ningyin's favorite osmanthus cake.
He then subconsciously sent his subordinate to buy a box.
When he returned to Ningyin's Yunnuan Pavilion, he found it deserted.
Shen Yun's eyes darkened instantly, and he smashed the osmanthus cake in his hand into pieces.
"Nonsense! It's such a trivial matter, yet she acts so recklessly. She's unworthy of being a wife. I'd like to see how long she can hold out after she moves out!"
