Zhao couldn't stand Gu Honglian's nagging.

She said, "Honglian, listen to your aunt. You don't have any children yet, so you have no ties. You are still young, so it won't be difficult for you to get married again in the future. The Spring Examination is only two months away. You should wait for your nephew Jingzhe to pass the examination and become the top scholar. When people find out, they will find out that the top scholar's aunt is still unmarried. I tell you, the threshold of your sister-in-law's house will be trampled by then, and you will be able to choose any good man in Shengjing."

The corners of Gu Jingzhe's mouth twitched.

Gu Honglian's eyes lit up.

She really wanted to be able to turn over and slap Fan Tong in the face like Tong Pandi did.

Fan Tong looked disdainful. Who would want a divorced woman?

Only someone like Master Su, who disregards worldly opinions, would marry a divorced woman.

Gu Honglian wiped away her tears and said to Fan Tong, "Fan Tong, I don't want you anymore. Let's get a divorce."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Have you thought it through? If you have, I'll ask Gu Jingzhe to write you a divorce letter."

Gu Honglian nodded firmly and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Sister-in-law, I've thought it through clearly. I want to divorce Fan Tong."

Gu Jingzhe asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the divorce letter, and then asked Fan Tong to sign it.

Fan Tong almost fainted after taking a look at the divorce letter.

The reason for the divorce was that Fan Tong lost his innocence after being seen naked by many people, and he felt guilty towards his wife and asked for a divorce.

The reason for this divorce letter makes people think a lot.

"Asshole, how can I put my face if this reason gets out?" Fan Tong said.

Gu Jingzhe said, "Just now, Senior Brother said that men and women are different. If your body is seen and you ask for a divorce, everyone will only praise you for your respect for your reputation."

Fan Tong was unwilling to sign.

Gu Jingzhe said calmly, "Since you are forcing my aunt to divorce, it can only be for this reason. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving my house."

Fan Tong looked at Gu Jingzhe in surprise and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Jingzhe said, "If you say so, then so be it."

Fan Tong gritted his teeth, not realizing that Gu Jingzhe was so shameless, and said, "Since divorce is unacceptable, I will write a letter of divorce."

Gu Jingzhe said, "It's up to you. My aunt hasn't committed any of the seven grounds for divorce, so your divorce letter won't be accepted. You can certainly use the excuse of not having children, but you've been married for less than a year, and I'll make outsiders think you're not up to par."

Fan Tong's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Gu Dashu said, "Will you sign or not? If not, we will go to the government tomorrow and ask them to sentence you to a divorce."

Fan Tong pondered in his mind.

The Gu family has the support of Magistrate Yao, Lu Zhaoyang and the mighty general. If he takes the case to the government, he will lose.

After all, the chief secretary of Prince Ning's family would not necessarily offend the mighty general because of this matter.

What's more, he cannot reveal that he has surrendered to Prince Ning now. He has to wait until the day when he is fully grown and then slap everyone in the Gu family in the face.

Fan Tong signed his name and sealed it angrily. There was nothing he could do. The Gu family was too cunning.

In order to quickly break away from the Gu family behind Gu Honglian and start a new life, he had no choice but to sign.

However, Gu Honglian was so quick to divorce that he felt very uncomfortable.

In his expectation, Gu Honglian would apologize to him and beg him in tears in order to avoid being divorced, and he would then take the opportunity to humiliate her severely and make her write a letter of divorce.

Gu Jingzhe carefully folded the divorce agreement and handed it to Gu Honglian, saying, "Aunt, take this. From now on, you and Fan Tong will have nothing to do with each other's marriage."

Gu Honglian nodded with tears in her eyes.

"It's not over yet," Tong Huaqiong said. "I helped you because Honglian is my sister-in-law, and I let you take refuge here. Now you and Honglian are no longer related, so we have to settle accounts. You stayed in my house for eight days, and I'll take fifty taels of silver from you for everything from room and board to food and clothing. You settle the bill now, and I'll let you go."

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty taels of silver? You're taking advantage of this opportunity to blackmail me."

Tong Huaqiong said, "During the New Year holiday, go and ask about hotel rates. I've already given you a low price. If you don't have the money right now, just write me an IOU and state the due date."

Fan Tong pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.

The Chief Secretary asked him yesterday if he had any difficulties. He asked for one hundred taels of silver, saying that it was for buying books. He originally wanted more, but was worried that if he asked for so much money at the beginning, the Chief Secretary would think he was asking for a favor.

He was unwilling to give Tong Huaqiong fifty taels now.

But if he doesn't give it to him, Tong Huaqiong might really make a big fuss and ask him to pay back the money.

If the Chief Secretary thinks he is a trouble, then he will lose everything.

His foundation is too shallow now and he cannot afford any negative influence.

By the time he gains a firm foothold, the Gu family will be overthrown.

"Okay, I'll give you fifty taels."

Liu Yue'e then jumped out and said, "My hairpin is stained with your blood and I can't wear it anymore. You have to compensate me. I bought this hairpin for 100 taels and I've been wearing it for a while. How about this, you compensate me 50 taels."

Fan Tong almost couldn't catch his breath.

Each member of the Gu family is more ruthless than the other.

Fan Tong took a breath and said, "Okay, I'll compensate you."

Gu Honglian widened her eyes and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Fan Tong said, "Then don't worry about it."

Gu Taohua curled her lips and said, "Aunt, look at Fan Tong. When you came to our house, you were treated like a beggar. He had money on him but he refused to give it to you."

Gu Taohua’s words irritated Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian's hatred for Fan Tong deepened.

Fan Tong stood up and went back to the hut to get the silver. Gu Honglian followed him and found that Fan Tong took the silver out from under the bed.

Yesterday, when Fan Tong came back from outside, he first put the silver in the snow at the door.

At night, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and brought the silver into the house.

One hundred taels of brand new silver were placed in front of Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong looked at Fan Tong calmly. The silver was of very new quality. She once again confirmed Fan Tong's adventure last night. This silver was probably given by some noble person.

Liu Yue'e stretched out her hand to weigh the silver, and it was indeed a full ounce of silver.

"I've compensated you with the silver. I'm going to rest and will leave early tomorrow morning." Fan Tong said.

Tong Huaqiong laughed and said, "You must be joking. You and Gu Honglian have already divorced. You have no relationship with our family. Why should I take in a stranger?"

Is he treating her house like a hotel, where he can come and go as he pleases?

Fan Tong was stunned. He didn't expect Tong Huaqiong to be so cruel.

It was so cold outside and he was injured. How could he rush to Changshi's house in the wind and snow?

What's more, he has to go to the government office to file for divorce tomorrow.

Gu Jingzhe said: "I don't need to trouble you, Senior Brother, to go to the government office to file a record."

Gu Honglian said, "Are you scared now? You used to tell me that you'd rely on my sister-in-law and Gu Jingzhe for a good future in Shengjing. I don't think you can have a good future if you leave my sister-in-law's house. Forget about a good future. You don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Fan Tong said disdainfully: "What do you know."

Then he said to Tong Huaqiong, "Please leave some way so that we can meet again someday. You never know when you might need my help."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

I can't help it, I really can't help it.
