Chapter 154 After the divorce, I found a better wife. Why are you crying? (9)
After getting repeated assurances from He Zijin, Chu Hongyun finally agreed to let them go. However, in addition to Pan Xing, Chu Hongyun also placed two other secret guards who used to be Pan Xing's colleagues next to He Zijin.
It was to protect and monitor He Zijin, in case something unexpected happened to He Zijin in Changle Marquis Mansion or he changed his mind and was unwilling to divorce.
He Zijin took Pan Xing and Gui Yue on the carriage back to Changle Marquis Mansion. As for the two secret guards sent by Chu Hongyun, they had their own ways to follow.
As soon as He Zijin entered the Changle Marquis Mansion, other people in the mansion had received the news. The maid beside the old lady of Changle Marquis stopped He Zijin when she stepped into the door of the backyard.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come to Rong'an Hall immediately. Please follow me."
He Zijin frowned, "It is unknown whether the Marquis is alive or dead, I should go see him first. If the old lady has anything to ask me, I will go to apologize to her later."
Seeing He Zijin's tough attitude, the maidservant beside the old lady of Changle Marquis did not dare to stop him and watched He Zijin walk towards the main courtyard.
When He Zijin entered the main courtyard, the groups of servants that used to gather there were nowhere to be seen. It was deserted and quiet. However, when he approached the main room, he heard an ambiguous conversation.
"My Lord, even if we don't have our own offspring in the future, as long as you are always by Yun'er's side, Yun'er will not mind. Please don't frown."
"My Lord, be gentle."
She was really impatient. Yan E's injury had not healed yet, and he could still be in heat even though he was paralyzed in bed. Before she reached the door of the room, she heard Lu Ruyun's passionate moans.
He Zijin pushed the door open heavily, and a chaotic smell came from the room. She walked around the screen and came to the bed with two maids.
Seeing that Lu Ruyun had taken off all her clothes and her whole body was folded on Yan E, and seeing He Zijin suddenly rushing in, Lu Ruyun only had time to pull the quilt next to her to barely cover her front, then left Yan E and sat on Yan E's right side, away from He Zijin.
Lu Ruyun awkwardly held up the quilt in front of her chest, and kindly covered Yan E's lower body. Lu Ruyun was sitting on the inside of the bed, and when she saw He Zijin coming over, she was so scared that her whole body was shaking.
"Madam, I have been the Marquis's person for a long time, you can't hit me!"
Yan E heard Lu Ruyun's frightened words and felt her trembling close to his body. He felt distressed and said to He Zijin sinisterly:
"He, if you dare to touch Ruyun, I will definitely divorce you!"
He Zijin walked up to Yan E with disdain and gave him a big slap. "Ruyun? Oh, why isn't she the Rubi who married your brother's servant?"
Yan E was annoyed and accidentally called out Lu Ruyun's maiden name. When he was about to explain, he was shocked by He Zijin's next words.
"You held a private wedding banquet with a lowly maid on your wedding night. You humiliated me like this. Humph, Yan'e, you don't need to divorce me. I will divorce you first."
"In this world, only men can divorce their wives, but how can women divorce their husbands? He, please stop being unreasonable."
Yan E was so angry about He Zijin's divorce that he wanted to stand up, but his body couldn't keep up. He said in a stiff tone: "As long as you apologize to Ruyun and live in peace with Ruyun in the future and be a generous and virtuous wife, I can forgive your arrogant words and not bother with you."
He Zijin was arrogant, "Apologize? Why should a daughter of a criminal who climbed into my husband's bed deserve my apology, huh?"
"If His Majesty knew that you were hiding the daughter of a guilty minister, I wonder if the merits of the former Marquis of Changle would be enough to protect you?"
"You-you! How can this be! Which mistress would be as jealous as you? The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is really bad at educating their daughter."
"No matter what, it's better than you, a hypocrite who protects the daughter of a criminal."
Yan E saw that He Zijin was determined to separate from him. Losing the treasure was a pity, but it was not as important as the safety of the people around him. "He, I can divorce you, but you can't reveal Ru Yun's identity to others."
"Puchi, who wants to divorce you? I want to divorce my husband!"
He Zijin smiled contemptuously. Yan E thought too highly of himself. He clearly had something to ask of her, but he acted as if it was a gift from him to her. It was ridiculous.
The news that Lu Ruyun, the daughter of a guilty minister, was hidden by Yan E in the Changle Marquis' Mansion was not as well concealed as Yan E had imagined. Chu Hongyun learned the news by simply sending someone to inquire.
He Zijin turned around, picked up the brush on the table, and wrote a letter of divorce on the paper.
After finishing writing, He Zijin blew gently on the divorce letter a few times. After the ink on it dried, he took the divorce letter and the brush to Yan'e's side.
When Yan E saw the reversed gender on the divorce letter, he protested and shouted, "He, forget it. I won't sign it."
"If you agree to my request and try to please me, you might be able to get a divorce letter."
"What good things are you thinking of? I beg you?"
He Zijin just showed it to Yan E. She knew that Yan E would not sign it because of his pride. She went back to the desk and rummaged through the cabinet next to it where books were kept.
"Madam, you are going too far. A woman's husband is her God. How can a woman divorce her husband? If you are willing to give in, I can persuade the Marquis not to divorce you and let you be a sister in the Marquis' backyard."
Seeing He Zijin leaving the bedside in a rage, Lu Ruyun spoke up firmly to speak up for her lord.
"Sister? Oh, my mother only gave birth to me as a daughter, so I don't need you to be a hypocritical sister."
Seeing He Zijin rummaging around, Yan E had a bad feeling and said loudly, "He, don't think I'll sign there. Come here! We can get a divorce!"
He Zijin found what she wanted, a private seal with Yan E's name engraved on it. She dipped it in red ink and printed it on the divorce letter she had written.
"No need. If you don't want to sign, this will do."
Yan E felt extremely powerless and paralyzed in bed. He couldn't even bang the bed to show his anger. His eyes were filled with poison as he looked at He Zijin. "He, you made him suffer such an insult today, and he will repay you double tomorrow!"
"Even if you use my seal to stamp it, no one will recognize your ridiculous divorce letter when you take it to the government."
"He, I advise you to save your energy and not make yourself a laughing stock in the capital."
He Zijin didn't care. She had a backer, so divorcing her husband might be possible.
"Let's see in this capital city, who is more ridiculous, you being divorced or me divorcing my husband!"
"you you!"
Yan E stared at He Zijin angrily, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Why did his father arrange this marriage for him?
