  Does he think she's eccentric? What she thinks and does can't be measured by ordinary standards. Can't he, for his own momentary mercy, let this cheap person suffer a little harm?

  In his eyes, she had long been a vicious woman. He had thought it through and had the divorce papers ready for her.

  In their childhood, she would follow him with her short legs, calling out "Xiao Xuan". She would blink away tears and hide behind him, watching as he fought fiercely for himself against others. Later on, after making amends with his stepmother, life gradually got better, but he remained the fallen prince who wouldn't give anyone a second glance. Many times, she stood on this side of the wall, gazing at the youth's increasingly lean figure and his face that grew more handsome by the day. Most of the time, he could sense her gaze and would turn around to flash her a faint smile.

  It was that warmth and smile time and again, it was that slender as a willow, elegant as the moon figure, making her gradually forgetful of him unable to forget.

  Later, she grew up and could be betrothed. On that day, after getting her stepmother's consent, she ran to the back of the wall with excitement and said shyly to the handsome young man: "Xiao Yu, hurry up and grow up. Mother said that when you become a king, I can marry you." The descendants of the Zhao family were not favored by those above, but according to the rules, they could also be enfeoffed as kings.

  This was what she said with a burst of courage. After she finished speaking, she saw the boy's astonished expression and, as he pondered, she ran away in embarrassment.

  Then, as if they had an appointment, she kept waiting for him.

  Originally, when he was enfeoffed as the Prince of Guangling, she was already grown up and could have been married off, but for some reason or other. Her stepmother and family, however, had always been somewhat hesitant. Perhaps it was because she possessed a beauty that few noblewomen of Qi had? Or perhaps it was her gentle and virtuous nature that moved the hearts of even more outstanding men. Maybe it was the pursuit by Yang Jingtong and Yuan Zhao that made them start to be picky.

  But she kept waiting for him, always waiting.

  That year. That year she finally waited for it. Gao Yan began to rise, and the young man who was close to Gao Yan also began to rise, first being sealed as the King of Guangling, and then again as the King of Lanling.

  After learning that her family had relented and agreed to let her marry him, she traveled far to meet him on his distant mission. She wanted to tell him in person that she could now marry him, and he would also have a powerful and influential family backing him. Wasn't this what he had always wanted - to stand tall and never be looked down upon by anyone? Now it was possible, as marrying her would make him just as noble as any other royal prince. At this moment, she forgot that since the day he was appointed as the Prince of Lanling, he had already been just as noble as any other royal prince.

  At last she arrived at Zhou Di's place and then she came to the embassy. Then, she saw that scene which broke her heart!

  Her Langling Wang, the one she had been waiting for many years, was naked and hugging a beautiful concubine, being affectionate with each other!

  For so many years, he had kept his distance from women, for so many years, he had been keeping himself clean and pure, for so many years, he had been waiting for her, just as she was waiting for him. But why did he take in this terrible, loathsome woman, who clung to him like a demon, at the very moment when she was ready to give herself to him? Why did he break his promise to her and lose his pure heart and soul?

  Next, she watched that enchantress step by step into his heart, watching her dominate his emotions, watching him become indifferent to himself, and watching him drift away from her.

  Until now, he actually prepared his resignation letter early in order to protect this demoness!

  Didn't he ever think that once he was kicked out, how much humiliation and cold eyes would he suffer? No, he had thought about it, but for the sake of that one in ten thousand chance, he resolutely cut off his own path!

  What a ruthless man!

  As she thought about it, Zheng Yu couldn't help but laugh softly. As she laughed, her voice turned into sobs.

  Choking back tears, Zheng Yu covered her own face.

  An inexplicable panic surged up in her heart!

  Chang Gong divorced her, and he even said in front of everyone that he had not approached her, although she was his queen, she had always been a virgin. Back to her family, her relatives, her parents, would definitely treat her as a virgin again for remarriage...

  But she isn't, is she? She just isn't, is she? What to do, what to do?

  Suddenly, panic began to replace anger and sadness, fear replaced everything. Gradually, Zheng Yu had only one thought: I can't go back like this! No matter what, I couldn't be fired and sent back!

  She quickly came to her senses at this point. At that moment, she let go of her hands and suddenly rushed towards Zhang Qi.

  The guards had been on their guard for a long time and when they saw her rushing over, they stood in front of Zhang Qi in unison.

  But Zheng Yu wasn't going to attack her. She took two steps forward, turned around and faced Lao Fang, then knelt down on the ground with a thud, crying bitterly.

  Choking with sobs, Zheng Yu asked Fang Lao: "Uncle Fang, you've seen me grow up. I don't want to be divorced and sent back home. Uncle, give me the divorce papers, I'm willing to get a divorce! I'll sign them right away!"

  This once proud and arrogant Zheng family's eldest daughter is now kneeling in front of one of her own servants, begging only not to be abandoned but for a divorce.

  Fang Lao let out a soft sigh and turned his eyes towards Zhang Qi, his gaze revealing a hint of reluctance and pleading.

  Zhang Qi furrowed her brow.

  In five more days, it will be the three-month trial period agreed upon by Zheng Yu and Chang Gong. Now that she is giving him a divorce letter, as far as Zheng Yu is concerned, there is not much loss to speak of; in fact, there is no loss at all.

  After thinking for a while, Zhang Qi sighed and thought: Since it's over, let it be. Chang Gong still has feelings for her, and anyway, she didn't suffer any real harm, so she might as well spare her life.

  She knew that only by ruthlessly getting rid of Zheng Yu could she cut off the life path of this woman who had become cruel and terrifying. However, Gao Changgong owed her a debt of gratitude, so he must have thought well of her in his heart. If he were here, it would be good; he could choose for himself whether to divorce or separate. But he was not here, so she could only handle this woman gently.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Gui turned around and entered the house.

  Before long, she took out a wooden box from the house. Opening the wooden box, she pulled out two divorce papers and placed them on the table, then put the rest of the papers in her sleeve bag. Zhang Qi turned around, looked at Zheng Yu who was staring at her sleeve bag with wide eyes, nodded and said: "The divorce papers are here, sign your name, leave the Wang Fu before nightfall. Your dowry has not been touched, and all the maids you brought with you will also be returned. Old Fang will sort them out later and return everything to the Zheng Fu within five days."

  Jing Yu was still staring at his sleeve pocket. Zhang Qi smiled slightly, "You signed the divorce agreement, this separation letter will be torn away, you don't have to worry."

  Zheng You nodded. She slowly walked forward, her head bowed as she looked at the divorce papers on the table, at the tall and dignified name and seal below, and at the writing instruments placed to one side. Suddenly, Zheng You felt as if her arm weighed a thousand catties.

  But she couldn't turn back now, no way...

  Gritting his teeth, Zheng Yu picked up the brush and trembled as he moved it towards the divorce papers.

  She slowly wrote her name on the divorce papers.

  As soon as Zheng Yu's two words fell, Zheng Yu slid down and almost sat on the ground.

  No one comforted her, everyone was staring at her coldly, Zhang Qi included. She said quietly: "There is still one more."

  Zheng Yu took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her head to say to Zhang Qi: "Don't be so smug." Zheng Yu smiled dazedly: "Zhang. Don't be so smug, heaven won't let a woman like you be smug for too long."

  Upon hearing Zheng's mocking laughter, Zhang Qi shook her head and said calmly: "I'm not gloating. Zheng Yu, I've always pitied you." With a smile, Zhang Qi thought to herself: We've reached this point, let me try again to see if I can wake her up. So she slowed down her speech and said: "In our lives, we've never had it easy. As children learning to walk, we'd inevitably stumble and fall, skinning our knees dozens of times; growing up, things wouldn't always go as planned either. At home, you might be pampered by everyone, but outside, you'd have to learn to compromise, read people's faces, and know when to yield. What did we do back then? We swallowed our grievances, sidestepped the impassable roads; then youth would pass us by, who could guarantee that in this life, you wouldn't encounter a single scoundrel or someone who didn't belong to you? What would you do then? You'd let it go. Beyond this ridge lies infinite scenery. Zheng Yu, I've never understood why you insist on trapping yourself under one tree, refusing to yield or bypass even when faced with a dead end, determined to crash and lose face?"

  She shook her head and smiled: "So, when I was with you, I never felt complacent. Zheng Yu, I only feel sorry for you, what a pity. You were originally such an elegant girl, it's really a shame."

  Zheng Yu didn't come to listen to her lengthy nonsense! Who does she think she is? How much does she think she knows? She's just a seductress who's good at charming men, and yet she dares to lecture me!

  "Shut up!" Zheng Yu screamed.

  Zhang Qi was as gentle as a stream, she called out and he immediately shut his mouth.

  After calming down, Zheng Yu lowered her head again and looked at the name of Langling Wang on the divorce book and the seal. She gritted her teeth hard, picked up the pen and wrote her own name forcefully on another copy of the divorce book, covering it with her handprint.

  As the brush fell to the ground with a thud, Zheng Yu's face turned ashen.

  Zhang Qi glanced at her, ignoring her curse-like smile, and took out the divorce paper from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Zheng Yu, let her tear it up, then Zhang Qi picked up the divorce paper, blew dry the ink and put it away.

  When she turned around, Zheng Yu had already walked out of the door with one foot deep and one shallow.

  Watching her walk away, watching her step by step leave her own line of sight. Even the usually calm Zhang Qi felt a little dazed.

  In her memory, Zheng had accompanied Gao Zhanggong to the end of his life. After he took poison and died in his thirties, she also entered a nunnery.

  She once thought she would never be able to defeat fate, and she would never be able to defeat this woman.

  Today, she is taking one step at a time out of the courtyard, and one step at a time out of her life with Gao Changgong.

  Watching Zheng Yu walk away step by step, Zhang Qi let out a low sigh.

  It's over, it's finally over.

  After entangling for so long, the opponent who had once torn her heart apart finally thoroughly walked out of her line of sight and disappeared in the depths of her memory.

  Weary, Zhang Qi waved the letter of divorce and said to Fang Lao: "Fang Lao, take this to the clan and ask the clan leader to remove Zheng's name from the family register."

  "Yes."
