Chapter 673: Divorce (3)

It had only been a few months. If there was anything different, it might be his mental state.

At that time, she would probably still be sad.

Without waiting for Xiao Qirui to speak, Yuan Yuwan took the initiative to bid farewell to Shen Yijia.

“Are you still coming back to stay tonight?” Shen Yijia asked.

The Yuan family’s residence had been confiscated. She meant that if Yuan Yuwan didn’t want to stay in the Xiao family residence, she could stay in the Song family’s residence.

After Shen Yijia helped her hit Old Master Yuan, Yuan Yuwan felt touched once again. She smiled and said, “I probably won’t be coming back. I’ll visit you another day.”

With that, she glanced at Song Jingchen before teasing her, “Don’t stay in your maiden home all the time. Hurry up and move back.”

Shen Yijia blushed and crossed her fingers. She muttered softly, “Even if you come with us, I’ll move back.”

It was such a cold day, so of course she had to hug her beautiful husband to sleep.

Her voice was barely audible, but Song Jingchen still heard her. He coughed lightly and said, “I’ll go to your maiden home to help you pack your things.”

Shen Yijia covered her face. Why did she have to say that she was going back to her mother’s house after arguing?

Although Yuan Yuwan did not say it explicitly, Shen Yijia had more or less guessed her plan. The one who confirmed her guess was Xiao Ruoshui, who came to tell her the next day.

Xiao Ruoshui rushed to the city yesterday.

Coincidentally, when General Xiao went to pick them up, she and Madam Xiao were rushing back because they had heard about the fire in the Xiao family.

They happened to meet halfway.

Otherwise, it would take at least a month for General Xiao to come and go.

“A divorce? Your parents and brother agreed?” Shen Yijia asked in surprise. She had guessed that Yuan Yuwan would propose a divorce, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly. Shouldn’t Xiao Qirui ask her to stay?

“Yes.” Xiao Ruoshui nodded with a bitter expression, then shook her head. “My parents didn’t agree, but my brother made the decision himself without waiting for us to return.”

When they arrived home, they saw Xiao Qirui, who was drunk. They asked Xiao

Tong and found out that Yuan Yuwan had already left with the divorce letter. Even her dowry had been taken away.

No one knew what the two of them talked about in the study. When they asked Xiao Qirui, he didn’t say anything. General Xiao was so angry that he beat him up.

Xiao Ruoshui cursed at Feng Manman and Xiao Qirui. After venting her anger together with Shen Yijia, she ran to Fan Mingyuan and continued venting.

Fan Mingyuan was not like Shen Yijia, who would curse at someone with her. Instead, he kept persuading her. In the end, Xiao Ruoshui left while cursing.

Shen Yijia looked at the confused Fan Mingyuan and laughed unkindly.

It was no wonder that Xiao Ruoshui kept yearning for Song Jingchen back then, even though Fan Mingyuan grew up with her.

Although her beautiful husband did not say much, he was at least better-looking than him. Both of them were insensitive, so she definitely had to choose the good-looking one. Fan Mingyuan was speechless.

He sensed deep malice.

After the executions, the exiles were on their way. Lord Jing’s rebellion case came to an end.

To the commoners, the news seemed to come and go. It did not cause any ripples.

However, the imperial court had lost so many officials at once. In the end, under the suggestion of the court officials, the emperor decided to be magnanimous and select a new batch of talented people the next year.

Lord Xian, Shangguan Yu, was in charge of the subjects to be tested.

It was a boon for those who failed the exam last time, since they originally had to wait three years for the next one.

However, this had nothing to do with the Song family. After all, Brother Hao, who was the only one who needed to take the imperial examination, had yet to take the children’s examination.

Brother Hao was eleven this year and twelve next year. Actually, according to his current standards, it was not a problem for him to become a scholar. Unfortunately, he had never had the chance to participate because of what happened back then.

On the day the imperial edict was issued, Brother Hao told Song Jingchen that he wanted to take the exam every year. The children’s exam was held once a

year.

Song Jingchen wanted him to study because he wanted him to be sensible. He didn’t care if he became an official in the future.

Of course, if Brother Hao wanted to, he wouldn’t stop him.

However, he could tell that Brother Hao did not like bureaucracy.

“Why?” Song Jingchen asked.

Brother Hao’s face turned red. After holding it in for a long time, he said, “Wang Mingan is only a few years older than me. He’s already a scholar. I can’t be much worse than him.”

Wang Mingan was only 14 years old. If he got in next year, he would be a High Scholar.

Song Jingchen looked at him quietly for a long time. He knew that he wasn’t telling the truth, but he didn’t ask further and nodded in agreement.

Brother Hao heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave the study. After a while he stuck his head in again. “Brother, I can protect Mother, Sister, and Sister-in-law in the future. You won’t have to work so hard then.”

His mother told him to remember. He remembered everything, including the deaths of his father and grandfather, the hatred for his eldest brother’s broken legs, and the 30 strokes of the cane.

He looked serious and didn’t leave after saying that. He was just waiting for Song Jingchen to be so touched that he would praise him for growing up.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, his good brother walked up to him and said, “I’ll protect your sister-in-law. I don’t need you.”

He should protect his wife. Why did he include him in the equation?

Brother Hao was dumbfounded and didn’t see the smile in Song Jingchen’s eye: as he walked past him..
