Chapter 1753: Divorce With Young Master ShaoEditor: Henyee Translations
Making 300 copies of a medical book that required speed and neat handwriting. This was naturally the best thing for a scholar to do.
And in the entire Xuanhe Prefecture, the place with the most scholars was the Tianhai Academy.
It just so happened that Yundong’s father, Gu Dajiang, was studying at Tianhai Academy. Furthermore, he was very popular. As long as he found someone to copy it, it wouldn’t be difficult for his daughter to win.
At the thought of this, Shao Qingyuan raised his head and glanced at Room 1.
The guard in the private room was still waiting for Gu Yundong’s reply. Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, he could not help but ask again, "Madam Shao, what do you think?"
Han Ying saw that Gu Yundong was silent and thought that she was afraid. She could not help but laugh.
Gu Yundong nodded. "Sure, but there’s something I want to ask."
"Ask away."
"What if I win? What if I lose?" She couldn’t possibly compete for nothing. If she didn’t make Marquis Pingnan bleed, what would she compete for?
The guard was stunned and turned to ask his master.
However, before the person inside could respond, he heard Han Ying say, "If you lose, it proves that you’re useless. Then you’re not worthy of Young Master Shao. You and Young Master Shao should divorce peacefully."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly erupted into discussion.
Gu Yundong looked at Han Ying incredulously. "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"What did you say?!"
Gu Yundong sneered. "Miss Han, you’re already a grownup. Don’t you know what rules are? My husband and I have been married by our parents’ orders. We were engaged with proper etiquette. Let’s not talk about whether I have the ability or not, and whether my status and background are strong enough. Even if I look like a lunatic and a fool who doesn’t know anything today, I’m still the Bai family’s recognized daughter-in-law. Whether we divorce or not can only be decided after our discussion with the witness of both families. You’re an outsider. What right do you have to demand a divorce? What right do I have to use a sacred and solemn marriage to bet with you?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly. That’s right, that’s right.
Han Ying’s expression instantly turned ugly.
Gu Yundong looked at her mockingly. "Or is it that to Miss Han, marriage is just child’s play that can be used as a bet and can be trampled on at will? Or perhaps, this is the rule of your marquis family. An unmarried young lady from a wealthy family can interfere in someone else’s marriage and ask for a divorce? Then I’ve really seen the world today. I think everyone present has also broadened their horizons."
The discussions in the hall instantly rose to a higher level. Some of the esteemed guests in the room on the second floor even laughed out loud.
Han Ying’s face flushed red. She wanted to retort, but the surrounding people were all pointing at her.
Marquis Pingnan’s face turned green. He nearly lost control and wanted to tear apart Gu Yundong, who had tarnished the reputation of his daughter and the marquis family.
Taking a deep breath, Marquis Pingnan said, "Ying’er was just joking. Why do you take it so seriously, Madam Shao? Why don’t you tell me the stake you want?"
Gu Yundong glanced at the hypocrite. "Alright, since you’ve said so, I won’t beat around the bush. Simple. If I win, you have to give me the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in the residence."
It wasn’t a secret that the marquis family had a snow lotus.
Marquis Pingnan narrowed his eyes. In fact, he couldn’t bear to part with it. It wasn’t easy to obtain such a thing. If he gave it away just like that, he would die of regret.
But then again, it’s not clear who’s going to win.
