"Whether Yun Qingjie wants to divorce you or not is a dispute between the two of you, but what we need to resolve now is the problem between us!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Chen Yingran's wailing, which seemed to be able to tear the sky apart, echoed in the room.

As soon as Yun Qingjie stepped into the gate of the mansion, he went straight to Bai Yue's courtyard.

But when he saw the empty room, his heart sank as if hit by something heavy.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

After receiving the news of Yun Qingjie's return, Butler Zhou rushed over panting.

"Old Zhou, where's the princess? Hasn't she come back yet?"

"This……"

Butler Zhou hesitated, as if he had something to hide.

"Hurry up and tell me! Is there something wrong?"

"That's what happened..."

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Butler Zhou told the other party everything about how Chen Yingran framed Xiaohong and Xiaocui, and how Bai Yue stood up for them.

"After Her Royal Highness the Princess returned, she and the little girl she brought with her took Xiao Hong, Xiao Cui, and Young Master Yun away!"

"What? She took Tianle away too? Could it be..."

"Your Highness, this is the letter the princess asked me to leave for you before she left. She told me to make sure I give it to you!"

Before Yun Qingjie could finish his thoughts, Butler Zhou carefully handed the letter to him.

"Prince Cheng, I hurt two of your beloved ones in one day. I'm afraid you must be madly hating me right now. I'm a sensible person, so I won't bother you any more."

"I've already placed the divorce papers on the bedroom table. Let's just part ways amicably! As for the remaining 167 times, just consider them as compensation for your emotional distress. Let's write them off!"

"Divorce? Why is she talking about divorce again? Doesn't she still not know that the person I truly love is her?"

Yun Qingjie tore the letter into pieces and roared at Butler Zhou.

"What are you guys doing here? Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess about to leave, don't you know how to stop her?"

"Your Highness, it's not that we didn't want to stop her. It was simply that Her Royal Highness was covered in blood and looked so terrifying that no one dared to step forward to stop her!"

When Butler Zhou recalled the scene at that time, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Blood? Is she hurt?"

"No, no, no, that's not Her Royal Highness's blood. It's someone else's. Her Royal Highness... she pierced the palms and soles of the feet of Her Royal Highness the Concubine and their maids, and then..."

Butler Zhou spoke hesitantly, his voice becoming smaller and smaller.

"And then what happened?"

"Then Her Royal Highness took a knife and cut dozens of wounds on each person..."

"How many cuts were there?"

"Yes, the scratch wasn't serious, and there wasn't even any bleeding. But the doctor who came to treat me said it was a method used to torture people. Although it won't hurt, the pain is not pleasant at all!"

"Your Highness, you said the princess is usually kind and benevolent. Who could have imagined that she would do..."

Just as the words of Butler Zhou were about to come out of his mouth, Yun Qingjie cut them off with a glare.

"Shut up! Don't mention this matter again. And keep a close eye on that doctor! Tell him not to spread the rumor!"

"As for Chen Yingran and those maids involved in this frame-up, lock them all up first. After their injuries heal, send them directly back to Duke Chen's mansion and tell them that I want to divorce this concubine!"

"Divorce me?"

"Yes, divorce me! Back then, I was blinded by greed and agreed to this marriage out of spite. But not only did Chen Yingran drug me, she was even more vicious and didn't even spare the two little girls! If it weren't for the generations of meritorious service of the Duke of Chen's Mansion, I would have beaten her dozens of times with a stick and thrown her out of the mansion!"

"Alright, stop standing there! Hurry up and call all the guards in the palace, and come with me to find the princess!"

Yun Qingjie spoke as he strode out of the mansion, his tone full of "resentment" towards Bai Yue.

"Humph, you clearly owe me 167 times, and you think you can just let it go with a simple "forget it"? When I find you, I'm going to make sure you get pregnant with my little dragon cub!"

Deep in a mansion with a mottled exterior, there is a small, neatly tidy courtyard hidden, and Bai Yue is hanging clothes in the courtyard.

"Our Princess Bai Yue is indeed beautiful and intelligent, and extremely virtuous. No wonder Qing Jie is still looking for you."

"What? It's been seven days, and Yun Qingjie hasn't given up yet?"

When Bai Yue saw that it was Ni Yuecheng and Yuzhi coming, she hurried to greet them.

"Give up? Haha, Xiaoyue, you really underestimated your own charm. That little guy Qingjie has turned the entire capital upside down and even announced that he will reward anyone who can find you with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Ten thousand taels of gold?! Yun Qingjie has such a deep hatred and grudge against me, why did he have to find me?"

"I already wrote the divorce agreement, and he signed it straight away, so I've completed my mission!"

Bai Yue couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her face filled with surprise and helplessness.

It turned out that since she left Prince Cheng's Mansion, she went straight to Ni Yuecheng's residence to seek refuge. The other party quietly settled her in Prime Minister Yue's old house, which was rumored to be haunted, and promised to keep an eye on Yun Qingjie's movements.

"Young lady, why are you so stubborn that you think Prince Cheng is looking for you because he hates you? Maybe, he actually has you in his heart..."

Yuzhi had just started to speak when Bai Yue interrupted her by shaking her head.

"No, Grandma Yuzhi, those two brothers Yun Qingchen and Yun Qingjie have the same taste. They like girls like Bai Ling and Chen Yingran who are as beautiful as flowers but full of bad intentions. I am neither beautiful nor mean, so how could they look down on me!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ni Yuecheng spoke as if he remembered something.

"Oh my, now that you mentioned Qingchen, I suddenly remembered that he hasn't been to court for seven days because of illness!"

"I'm sick? What's wrong?"

"Well, I heard that he started coughing up blood right after returning from Wenqu!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Yue's face, and the scene of herself making Yun Qingchen so angry that he vomited blood emerged in her mind.

"But then again, the most pitiful one here is Xiao Qingchi. When his two royal brothers aren't in court, the new policies that the three of them have jointly promoted fall entirely on him. I heard that this kid now spends all day in his palace and can't even go back to his own palace!"

Ni Yuecheng smiled with a hint of gloating and continued gossiping.

"Come on, destiny workers!"

Bai Yue thought of Yun Qingchi's gritted teeth when he was forced to work, and she couldn't help but light a candle for him in her heart.
