Lu Qiaonan knelt on the ground, looking dejected and not daring to look up at Yan Qing. He said painfully, "Qingqing, it's all my fault. I let Tan'er go. If you want to blame someone, blame me—"

"Snapped!"

Yan Qing slapped Lu Qiaonan in the face. This was the slap she had wanted to give him in her previous life!

How did he have the nerve to plead for Yan Tan?

Five fingerprints instantly appeared on Lu Qiaonan's cheeks, but he seemed to feel no pain. He spoke in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, as long as it can make you feel better, you can continue to hit me..."

"Master Lu, you're joking."

Yan Qing withdrew his hand and looked at Lu Qiaonan in a gentle and elegant manner: "This slap is for my sister. As the heir of a marquisate, you disregard etiquette and shame to seduce a decent woman. You are unworthy of being a sage!"

Lu Qiaonan was stunned: "What... did you call me?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Prince Lu."

Lu Qiaonan felt something was wrong.

He corrected her: "Qingqing, you should call me..."

"Husband?"

Yan Qing still smiled gently, but her expression was a little colder: "Lu Qiaonan, are you worthy?"

Lu Qiaonan's face turned pale.

Is he worthy?

He... doesn't deserve it!

He was the one who felt sorry for Qingqing.

Lu Qiaonan closed his eyes, his voice choked with sobs: "Qingqing, you can hit me or scold me, as long as you calm down, you can punish me in any way you want, but Tan'er..."

Lu Qiaonan said with difficulty: "I am...I am sorry for her."

Yan Qing smiled.

What a big face!

Looking at Lu Qiaonan's extremely tangled and painful expression, Yan Qing smiled brightly: "Yes, you have wronged her. Her death today is your fault, but...what does it have to do with me?"

Lu Qiaonan suddenly looked up.

Looking at Yan Qing's familiar smile, he suddenly felt unfamiliar.

He admitted that he had done something wrong to Qingqing, but that was between them, and whatever Qingqing did to him was what she deserved. But if Yan Tan was really dragged to the pig cage today, how would he cope with it in the future?

He has already wronged Tan'er, how can he let her die again?

As long as Qingqing spares Tan'er's life, everything can be resolved.

How could it have nothing to do with her?

Yan Qing found Lu Qiaonan's as-a-matter-of-course expression ridiculous.

At this point, he still thought that their relationship could continue? Who gave him the face? Oh, it was her.

Her sincerity made him think that she couldn't live without him.

Even if he did something wrong to her, as long as he knelt down to apologize, slapped himself, and cried and repented, could she pretend nothing happened?

After all, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold!

Everyone thought so, including Lu Qiaonan.

It’s a pity that old dreams can be relived, but broken mirrors cannot be mended. Lu Qiaonan didn’t understand it in his previous life, and he still doesn’t understand it in this life.

Yan Qing guessed that Yan Junyuan would be here soon.

She pulled out the divorce papers she had prepared from her sleeve, tossed them to Lu Qiaonan, and said calmly, "Lu Qiaonan, from today on, you are you, and I am me. Everything that happened yesterday is in the past. From now on, we will be strangers."

Lu Qiaonan suddenly looked at Yan Qing.

She didn't say anything cruel about breaking off ties with him, nor did she show any heartache. She just looked at him without any sadness or joy.

But it made Lu Qiaonan inexplicably nervous.

He crawled forward on his knees and tried to grab Yan Qing's hand: "Qingqing..."

Yan Qing took a step back, turned around, and calmly bowed to the guests: "I have offended everyone with this scandalous incident in our family. I, Yan Er, would like to apologize to you all. Please forgive me if I have been inadequate in my hospitality."

Everyone was flattered for a moment.

I didn't expect that even in such a situation, Miss Yan could still be so considerate and polite and take their feelings into consideration.

Prince Lu was really wrong!

Yan Qing continued, "Today, I ask you all to bear witness. Lu Qiaonan committed adultery with my half-sister on the day of my wedding. This not only humiliates me, but also the reputation of our Yan family. Even if I still love him, I cannot be his wife. For the sake of my father and the Yan family's reputation, I, Yan Qing, swear hereby that from now on, I will sever all ties with Lu Qiaonan and will never have any further contact with him!"

The resolute tone shocked everyone.

Although Lu Qiaonan was completely wrong for causing such an absurd incident today, everyone agreed that the woman who seduced Master Lu should be punished. As for Lu Qiaonan...

What man doesn't cheat?

As long as Yan Qing holds the position of the Marquis's wife, no one will dare to touch her. Even if Yan Tan is taken into Lu Qiaonan's backyard, she is still inferior to her, so she can do whatever she wants, right?

What's more, Lu Qiaonan is not only the prince of the marquisate, he is also a great contributor in the suppression of the rebellion in the northwest. He is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards appointed by the emperor. Even the King of Qi has to be polite to him.

Not only did Yan Qing slap Lu Qiaonan in public, she also threw a divorce letter at him?

Do you want to break off all ties with Lu Qiaonan?

Everyone found it a little unbelievable, but it also seemed reasonable...

Prince Lu married the second daughter of the Yan family, but on the wedding day he had an affair with the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and the incident became known to everyone. This was throwing the Yan family's reputation underfoot.

Even ordinary people would not be able to endure such humiliation, let alone the Yan family?

Yan Junyuan was the Minister of Revenue, a man of integrity and reputation. His two daughters had their reputations ruined by Lu Qiaonan on the same day. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold his spine straight in the court from now on.

For the sake of her father Yan Junyuan's reputation, Yan Qing asked for a divorce. It seemed that this was the only way to restore the last bit of dignity of the Yan family!

The guests felt even more sympathetic towards Yan Qing.

After waiting for three years in Kyoto, she was finally able to marry her beloved young man, but on the wedding night, she was betrayed by both her husband and her half-sister. How sad must Miss Yan be?

But she didn't cry or make a fuss, and even asked for a divorce to protect the reputation of the Yan family. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

How could Yan Junyuan have the goodness to raise such a good daughter?

Some soft-hearted ladies and young ladies have already started to sob.

Yan Qing took the opportunity to have Yan Tan escorted out of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion in a hurry, without even looking at Lu Qiaonan.
