Chapter 351: Separation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This was the first time Han Chi had seen what it meant to be pretentious.

He had three younger sisters in the family. Sun Xiu was gentle, Sun Yi was straightforward, and Sun Ke was lively and cute.

His wife, Li Mi, was innocent.

Mother is gentle and kind.

The elders who were closer to them were all dignified and elegant, and they spoke and did things in a polite manner.

This was the first time someone had spoken like Li Wenya.

Suddenly a phrase that described her crossed his mind; ‘a b*tch’.

Moreover, Li Wenya was older than him. It was disgusting for her to call him brother-in-law pretentiously.

“What’s the matter?” Han Chi asked lightly.

He took two steps back.

“Do you know that my father wanted you to marry me?” Li Wenya could not help but ask.

Han Chi was too good for Li Mi.

When Li Mi got off the carriage, he reached out to help her hold her skirt so she wouldn’t trip.

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know,” With that, Han Chi made the move to walk away and leave.

Li Wenya stopped him again.

“Second Princess, please behave yourself.” Han Chi warned in a deep voice.

Li Wenya did not understand.

What right did an adopted son have to be so cold to her?

Just as she was about to speak, someone pulled her hair. When she turned around, she received a slap on her face.

“Looks like 1 didn’t teach you enough last time. Doing such shameless things again. Not only are you ruining your parents’ reputation, but you are also ruining your own dignity,” Li ATi said coldly.

Han Chi had already grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently.

“Let’s go.”

Han Chi did not want to face Li Wenya at all.

He had seen such self-righteous people before, and he knew no matter how much he explained, they wouldn’t understand.

Li Mi could teach her a lesson as a fellow woman, but he couldn’t.

It was annoying.

He asked Li Mi softly, “Does your palm hurt?”

“I didn’t expect to see her here,” Han Chi explained.

“I know. Don’t take it to heart. Let’s go tell Mother and Big Brother and go home.” Li Mi sounded a little dejected.

This used to be her home.

She had been happy for many years, but that was when she was protected by her mother, who had a heart covered in wounds.

Once her mother removed that protective veil, she finally understood how cruel she and her brother were, and how cold-blooded her respected father was.

“Alright,”

Han Chi held her hand and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’re you, and she’s her. How can they be compared? It will be rare for you to visit your mother. Spend more time with her. We’ll go home after lunch.”

If they return without eating lunch, what would others think of his wife?

Although he was young, he knew how to sympathize.

He also learned to be considerate of others.

Li Mi nodded slightly.

The Gong Prince’s consort already knew what had happened in her courtyard.

In this residence, nothing could escape Consort Pei’s eyes and ears.

Even if she didn’t manage the house, no one could hide anything from her.

She laughed coldly, “I’ll deal with her when I’m free.”

When she saw her daughter and son-in-law enter the room once more, the viciousness on the corners of her lips disappeared. She smiled and went up to them, “Look at you two, attached to the hip,”

“Mother!”

“Mother-in-law.” Han Chi bowed.

The Gong Prince’s consort asked them to sit in the small hall.

“The bayberries that were sent in the morning have been frozen in the ice cellar for a while. It’s not very cold.”

These bayberries were big and each of them was black and red. One look and one could tell that they were of high quality.

Li Mi and Han Chi both ate it.

It was very sweet with a hint of sourness, but it was delicious.

Not long after, Li Zhao entered with a smile, “1 was waiting for you for a long time. So you came to Mother’s place.”

Han Chi stood up and greeted Li Zhao with a smile.

“Aiya, we’re family. Hurry up and sit down.” Li Zhao smiled and sat down.

Li Mi immediately handed the red berries to him and said fawningly, “Brother.”

Li Zhao picked one and threw it into his mouth.

“You’re all here. 1 have something to tell you,” The Gong Prince’s consort said.

Li Mi put down the plate.

Han Chi sat up straight.

Li Zhao also stopped smiling.

“There’s news from the capital. Your father and 1… The Emperor has allowed us to divorce. The document is on its way and will be here soon.”

“At the same time, the Emperor has also agreed to your brother’s request to resign from the throne.”

These were two major pieces of news.

The Gong Prince’s consort only mentioned this today.

“Mother, where will you live in the future?” Li Ml! asked.

“To the village. Don’t worry about Mother. Mother has already arranged everything. You just have to live a good life with All-Chi.”

Heng Yi and Han Qiao were easy-going people, so she didn’t have to worry about her daughter.

The Gong Prince’s consort turned to her son, “Zhao’er, what are your plans?”

“I’ll join the army and start from a young soldier. Don’t worry, Mother, 1 know what I’m doing.”

The Marquis of Wan Ning was about to recruit an army. On the surface, he said he was recruiting 10,000 men, but in reality, he was probably recruiting more than that.

As long as he could endure hardship, the day of his success was not far away.

“Alright.”

The Gong Prince did not come to join them for lunch.

Secondary Consort Wen used her stomach ache as an excuse to invite the Gong Prince over.

The Gong Prince’s consort coldly snorted when she heard the excuse of his absence.

However, when Li Mi and Han Chi left, Consort Fei asked people to carry a few more boxes.

Almost all the valuable things in her main courtyard had been moved away.

The storeroom was empty.

When the couple left, the Gong Prince still didn’t come to see them.

“Mother,” Li Zhao called out.

He held the Gong Prince’s consort’s hand, “Mother, don’t be afraid. Your son has already grown up.”

“Zhao’er, don’t be a man like him. 1 won’t force you to marry, but you have to promise me that if you don’t love a girl, you won’t marry her. If you marry her, you have to give her the dignity she deserves.”

“Look at how sad and miserable Mother is.”

Li Zhao’s heart choked.

This was the first time his mother told him about the pain and suffering she felt in her heart.

“I’ll remember it.”

When the mother and son turned around and went back inside, the Gong Prince hurried over, “Where are Mi’er and Han Chi?”

“They left.” After the Gong Prince’s consort finished speaking, she let Li Zhao return to his quarters first.

She wanted to talk to the Gong Prince about the divorce.

“Let’s talk in the study.”

The Gong Prince observed his wife.

Today, she looked a little sick and did not look very good.

“If your body is not feeling well, let the resident doctor take a look at you. Don’t force yourself,” The Gong Prince said and wanted to hold the princess’s hand.

Consort Fei avoided the Gong Prince’s touch.

He glared coldly at her and walked faster.

The Gong Prince’s consort slowly followed behind.

When they entered the study, there were visibly many changes to the room.

She had sold several of the things she had gifted him and exchanged them for silver.

And he didn’t seem to notice at all.

“What is it? Tell me.” The Gong Prince ordered impatiently.

She looked at the man in front of her.

He was still elegant, but he lacked the gentleness that had once moved her.

She knew that he couldn’t give all the love to her alone, but he had to at least respect her. He had to understand that at the end of the day, a wife was a wife and a concubine was a concubine.

She had already forgotten about the past and the man she loved.

However, he did not fulfill his promise.

“Your Majesty, I’ve already asked the Emperor to allow us to divorce.”

H H

The Gong Prince’s anger was stuck in his throat.

He couldn’t spew his fury, nor swallow it down.

He even thought that he had misheard her words, “What did you say?”

“I said, I want to divorce you.” When Consort Fei repeated this, she remained calm.

Her voice did not even tremble..
