Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

The evening breeze was cool, creating ripples in the moonlight on the pond. Zhang Jingwei sat quietly in the pavilion in a daze.

He couldn't sleep again.

Huangfu Ling was drunk and called out another man's name. He had no good feelings towards her in the first place, but in this world, they were husband and wife.

The feeling of being cheated on reminded Zhang Jingwei of what his ex-girlfriend had said to him.

"You're still so naive! We can't go back to the past, and you're still trying to cheat me of my youth with a broken guitar!"

His thoughts were in a mess, so he wanted to find someone to drink with, but it was already late at night, so he gave up the idea of ​​disturbing others.

Zhang Jingwei smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "To be cheated on twice in his life, this person must be really rubbish..."

As I laughed, tears started to flow.

"It's not worth it, it's not worth it...hiss, hiss hehe." He said it was not worth it, but still sobbed.

After crying for a while, Zhang Jingwei suddenly sat up, his eyes determined. He realized that he couldn't just ignore it. If he was really kicked out of the Huangfu family, he would become everyone's food. So, he made a surprising decision - divorce! No, to be more precise, divorce his wife.

However, this decision was not easy to implement.

According to traditional beliefs, if a woman marries into a man's family, then the man can file for divorce. However, the current situation is special. He is marrying into the Huangfu family, so only Huangfu Ling can take the initiative to divorce him.

This made him feel helpless and bitter, but when he thought of Huangfu Ling and her lover being so affectionate, his heart ached.

The crowing of a cock disrupted his thoughts. Judging from the night watchman's gong, it should be only the third watch. These poultry got up very early.

Unexpectedly, at this time two maids came into the yard with lanterns, one holding a bundle of cloth and the other holding a small box.

Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering: What are they doing? Are they coming to my yard to have a picnic?

The two maids did nothing but wait quietly. When they felt tired, they leaned against the steps of the main house and took a nap.

The more he looked, the more confused he became. Zhang Jingwei wanted to walk out of the pavilion, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy. Although the east courtyard was small, fortunately the pavilion was dark and the two maids could not see him.

He just watched in the dark, but he became sleepy as he stared.

It was cool outside and the environment was comfortable. Zhang Jingwei leaned against a pillar and fell asleep.

In the dream, Zhang Jingwei came to a luxuriously decorated ancient room. A little girl with her eyes closed and wearing a red long dress was sitting on the bed. This little girl was Huangfu Ling, just a childhood version of Huangfu Ling.

A little boy covered Huangfu Ling's head with a red cloth and said, "This is what a bride looks like. She's waiting for the groom to lift the veil."

Zhang Jingwei also saw clearly that the boy was Ma Tianmao!

Zhang Jingwei heard some noise downstairs. This should be a restaurant. Besides the voices of diners, there were also some women's chattering sounds.

Could it be that this is the legendary brothel?

At this moment, a drunk man was negotiating the price with the madam at the door.

Ma Tianmao hurriedly escaped through the window. Zhang Jingwei looked out the window. This was the third floor. How did he do it?

When I looked closely, I saw that there were actually a few boys holding up a piece of cloth underneath.

Ma Tianmao shouted, "Hurry up! If you don't leave now, you'll be caught and beaten to death!"

Huangfu Ling, who was sitting on the bed, also heard the noise outside the room and pulled off her veil. The two looked at each other. Although he knew that Huangfu Ling would be safe, he was still a little worried and wanted to pull Huangfu Ling away to escape together.

He couldn't control his body and jumped out of the window, unable to speak.

Judging from the appearance of these young masters, they should be fifteen or sixteen years old. Zhang Jingwei ran with them. Huangfu Ling stood by the window and shouted: "Brother Qi, don't go, don't leave Ling'er behind."

Brother Qi? Brother Qi again.

Are you calling one of us?

After running away, Huangfu Ling's voice was still clear.

At this time, Zhang Jingwei finally regained control of his body. He ran towards the brothel at full speed. When he rushed upstairs, he saw the drunk man lying unconscious on the ground and Huangfu Ling curled up on the ground crying aggrievedly.

Zhang Jingwei just stepped forward to comfort her, but was controlled by an invisible force and could not move, until a chill swept over his whole body.

……

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in the pond. I must have fallen out of the pavilion after falling asleep.

Fortunately, the water in the pond was not deep, so Zhang Jingwei stood up and walked towards the shore.

It was already dawn when the two maids were awakened by the sound of someone falling into the water and shouted in panic.

"Hurry up, my uncle has fallen into the water!"

Huangfu Ling in the inner room heard the shouting and hurriedly stood up, but the effect of the alcohol was still there and he felt dizzy. He could only hold on to the corner of the table to barely keep his balance.

Zhang Jingwei climbed up the bank, bewildered and dripping wet. The maids hurriedly helped him into the house, and Huangfu Ling, despite her dizziness, came over to check on him.

"Are you okay? How did you fall into the water?" Huangfu Ling asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

Zhang Jingwei looked at Huangfu Ling and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I haven't taken a shower for several days, so it's just right for me to take a shower." He tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed, but his heart was full of unwillingness and resentment.

Huangfu Ling was extremely anxious and hugged Zhang Jingwei's arm, but Zhang Jingwei pushed her away with an expressionless face in return.

"Don't touch me!" Zhang Jingwei said viciously, with an expression of disgust on his face.

Huangfu Ling didn't know what was wrong with him today. He fell into the water early in the morning and was angry. Did he say something he shouldn't have said last night?

"Always, change your clothes first."

Huangfu Ling asked the maid to get a new set of clothes. She wanted to help Zhang Jingwei change into them herself, but was rejected again.

Zhang Jingwei: "Go out, I can change it myself."

Huangfu Ling: "What exactly happened? Why do you seem like a different person?" Her face was full of confusion and worry.

Zhang Jingwei: "Get out!" he repeated in a stiff tone.

Huangfu Ling was stunned. She didn't understand why Zhang Jingwei suddenly became so disgusted with her, but she turned around and left the room silently, closing the door gently.

After the door closed, Zhang Jingwei sighed deeply, his heart filled with contradictions and pain.

After changing his clothes, Zhang Jingwei gently pushed open the door. There was still moisture in his hair, as if he had just walked out of the bathroom.

In Huangfu Ling's eyes, this scene was like seeing a male god who had just emerged from the bath.

Zhang Jingwei's short hair style adds a bit of cool and handsome temperament to him. Huangfu Ling was no longer drunk and looked at Zhang Jingwei with a silly look on her face.

"I'm going to see my sixth uncle today and won't be back. There's no need to prepare dinner!" After saying this coldly, Zhang Jingwei walked out.

"The son-in-law is really ungrateful. The young lady cares about him so much, but he doesn't appreciate it." A maid spoke up for Huangfu Ling.

"Maybe something's bothering you. Go ahead and do your thing. You don't have to put on makeup today."

It turned out that the box was a makeup box. She had to put on makeup in order to meet Zhang Jingwei, but when she learned that Zhang Jingwei would not be back today, she didn't need to do it.
