Chapter 10: Preparations for Divorce

“You two, tidy up the courtyard in the capital. We will be leaving the Hou Mansion soon. Also, let the Shadow Tower spread the news that the Divine Doctor Wu Xin will be coming to the capital soon.”

“Yes, this subordinate will go and take care of it immediately.”

After giving her instructions, Yunzhi watched as Ruju and Ruzhu left.

When the two left, Yunzhi was about to rest when the old lady sent someone over, asking her to come over.

Yunzhi arrived at the Ci’an Courtyard and saw a kitchen maid kneeling on the ground.

The old lady saw Yunzhi come in and said impatiently, “Yun, the person who poisoned your food has been found. How do you want to deal with her?”

“Is that so? Are you sure she is the real culprit?” Yunzhi sneered, glanced at the kneeling maid, then at the Lady Jiang standing next to the old lady, and said, “Old Lady, I’ve said it before, nobody is stupid. Just finding someone to take the blame, thinking this will make it go away? No way. Unless you hand over the real culprit, I won’t let this go. If anyone else in the Hou Mansion happens to meet with an unfortunate accident, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

“Yun, you…” The old lady pointed at Yunzhi, speechless with anger. She thought that finding a kitchen maid would fool Yunzhi. But who knew that Yunzhi would insist on the real culprit?

Could it be that she really had to hand over Lady Jiang?

Not to mention that Lady Jiang didn’t want to die, the old lady couldn’t bear to part with her either. Lady Jiang had been with her for decades, not only her confidante, but also her friend, and she held all her secrets.

Once Lady Jiang was handed over, could her secrets still be kept? Although some things had happened a long time ago, once they were exposed, it would be a disaster for her.

“Old Lady, do you want to protect your servant or your grandchildren? You have to think carefully.”

“You!” The old lady heard these words and pointed at Yunzhi’s nose, speechless. This was a blatant threat.

Seeing the other party’s anger, Yunzhi spoke again, saying, “Of course, if you want to protect both, it’s not impossible. I will divorce your son, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other, male and female. What do you think?”

The old lady naturally didn’t think it was a good idea. But Yunzhi was so strong, if she didn’t let her divorce, she would lose a confidante.

She naturally didn’t want Yunzhi to divorce, nor did she want her to take away her dowry. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried to kill her.

Seeing that the old lady hadn’t spoken, Yunzhi ran out of patience and said coldly, “Old Lady, you can’t be too greedy, or you’ll end up with nothing.”

“Fine, I agree, I’ll let Yuan divorce you.” The old lady finally made a decision. Compared to money, she felt that life was more important.

“Then call him over now. I’ve already written the divorce papers, let him come over and sign and seal it.” Yunzhi took out a divorce paper from her body, shook it, and smiled.

Seeing her prepared look, the old lady was furious, but she couldn’t do anything about it. Because she had no leverage over Yunzhi, and the other party didn’t care about the Hou Mansion’s power at all.

An Xiuyuan came to the Ci’an Courtyard, saw Yunzhi, and frowned, saying unhappily, “What are you doing here?”

Then, he immediately looked at the old lady and asked, “Mother, are you alright?”
