"Divorce? Song Siyao, I think you haven't recovered at all, or are you still a fool? You dare to say anything. There are only divorced wives, not divorced husbands!" Meng Zhanting roared. "Don't even think about using this kind of feigned retreat to win my heart!"

"Then you will be the first!" Song Siyao's voice was icy cold, like a chilling voice suddenly heard in the vast and endless universe, sending shivers down one's spine.

Meng Zhanting was startled and quickly looked away from Song Siyao. How could he be afraid of Song Siyao?

For a moment, he forgot to refute.

"Siyao, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you get a divorce over such a trivial matter! If word gets out, people will laugh at the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife for not raising you properly!" The second madam seemed to be protecting Song Siyao, but in reality, she was insulting her.

"Second sister, although my brother-in-law and I are in love, you will always be my legal wife. Don't worry, even if you are blind, deaf, and mentally challenged for the rest of your life, we will still take care of you."

Song Yu'er spoke gently, maintaining a virtuous demeanor, using a strategy of retreat to advance.

How magnanimous she was! She actually gave up her position as the principal wife and was willing to take care of Song Siyao with the man she loved.

Everyone will praise her!

Song Siyao's deep gaze suddenly turned icy cold. "Mother, I remember a few years ago Father took a fancy to the maid who served you. You flew into a rage and beat that maid severely. Later, that maid died under mysterious circumstances. Mother, why did you get so angry over such a small matter? And how did that maid die? Your behavior is also because your parents didn't raise you well."

She knew about this because the original owner had overheard others discussing it privately.

The second lady's face turned pale and then red, her anger surging but she dared not vent it in front of the Lady of Ding'an, and could only grit her teeth, unable to utter a single word.

Only a few people in the manor knew about that vile woman's affair, and now that Song Siyao has revealed it to everyone, she has completely lost face!

Song Siyao looked at Song Siyu and continued, "Song Siyu, since you like picking up trash so much, I'll give it to you! Trash and dogs are a perfect match! Just don't cause trouble for others!"

"Second sister, how could you say such vulgar things? You're disgracing the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. I never intended to ruin your relationship with my brother-in-law. I joined you and my brother-in-law to take care of you without regard for status."

Song Yu'er's tears fell like rain, her pitiful state making one want to pity her.

Sure enough, Meng Zhanting fell for Song Yu'er's charm. He held Song Yu'er's hand tightly and said, "Yu'er, you are the kindest woman I have ever met in the world. You are the blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. I, Meng Zhanting, have no other desires in this life because of you. I swear, you are the only woman in my life."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Siyao, all the tenderness in his eyes vanished, and his tone was angry, "She's just a fool, yet she thinks she's something. Someone like her doesn't deserve your understanding and care. Let her fend for herself. What's wrong with her occupying the position of the legal wife? I'll make sure she never gets my love for the rest of her life!"

Song Siyao laughed in anger, her voice still icy, "I'll send the letter of divorce to your study later. Now, take your people and get out of my courtyard immediately!"

Song Yu'er stared at Song Siyao, feeling that Song Siyao was somewhat different from before.

Before she could speak, Meng Zhanting preemptively said, "Yu'er, let's go! I'll go propose to Uncle Song right now!"

Song Yu'er nodded, overjoyed. She was about to become the wife of the deputy commander, and soon she would be the wife of the commander. In the future, when Meng Zhanting was ennobled as a marquis or a duke, her status would be even higher.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the second matriarch quickly ordered Qingjiao to chase after them, "Go and stop them!"

He then instructed the nanny beside him, "Quickly go to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence and invite Vice Minister Song and Madam Song over!"

The terms "Minister Song" and "Madam Song" refer to Song Yu'er's parents.

The two old ladies were plotting in their hearts. Song Yu'er had seduced their son and ruined his future. Now she still wanted their son to propose marriage. She was dreaming!

She wanted to call Song Yu'er's parents over and ask them how they raised their daughter.

Song Yu'er was known as the most talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty and came from the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. The two old ladies once thought that if Song Yu'er could marry Meng Zhanting, they would rather spend their lives as vegetarians and Buddhists.

But now that Song Yu'er's reputation is ruined and it may even affect Meng Zhanting's future, she only feels disgust towards Song Yu'er.

"Madam of Ding'an, I cannot accompany you today. I will definitely visit you another day. Rest assured, the General's Mansion will not let Yaoyao suffer any injustice." The Second Madam spoke in a flattering tone.

Lady Ding'an snorted coldly, "I knew you wouldn't dare!"

The second madam gave an awkward smile and looked at Song Siyao, saying, "Yaoyao, you should keep the Lady of Ding'an company while I go and seek justice for you." After she finished speaking, she turned and left with everyone.

Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Lady Ding'an took Song Siyao's hand and said softly, "Yaoyao, come, sit down. Your aunt has something to tell you."

Song Siyao, who disliked getting close to people, subtly withdrew her hand. She sat down and looked at Lady Ding'an, whose voice continued to echo in her ears.

"Yaoyao, is this divorce just a momentary impulse or are you serious?" Lady Ding'an asked with a loving expression. "Whatever decision you make, as long as you've thought it through, I'll support you."

I will protect you too.

Lady Ding'an did not say these words aloud.

"I'm serious." Song Siyao said firmly, "Don't worry, Aunt, I won't let myself suffer."

Lady Ding'an was not like the typical young lady; she never considered divorce to be a shameful thing.

On the contrary, she disapproves of women compromising their principles, but she respects Song Siyao.

"Since that's the case, then go forward boldly. Your mother is gone, but I will always be your support."

Lady Ding'an said, "I'll go back to the manor first. I'll send someone over to you later. Take good care of yourself."

Song Siyao nodded, "Thank you, Aunt."

Lady Ding'an patted Song Siyao's hand, then got up and left with her servants.

Song Siyao looked around and began to plan her divorce. Since she was going to divorce, she would naturally take everything that belonged to her with her.

She remembered that the dowry list was in the hands of her maid, Hongshao, and it had been several days since she had seen Hongshao.

The original owner asked Meng Zhanting where Hongshao was. Meng Zhanting's answer was that Hongshao had stolen his jade pendant and was locked up by him. He also said that he would handle it and that the original owner should not worry about it.

Song Siyao found the red peony in Meng Zhan's courtyard.

"Miss? It really is you! I thought I would never see you again!" Hongshao collapsed to the ground, hugging Song Siyao's legs, sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing that Hong Shao's clothes were relatively neat, but her legs were in an extremely strange position, Song Siyao quickly squatted down, placed her hands on Hong Shao's legs, and her face darkened.

"He broke both your legs?"

Hong Shao nodded, "Miss, don't be sad or worried, I'm not in pain."

"What exactly happened?" Song Siyao's voice was as cold as ice shards.

Hongshao's eyes were filled with hatred. "Miss, I witnessed the scandalous affair between the young master and the third young lady. They were afraid I would tell on them, so they broke my legs!"

Worried that Song Siyao would be sad, she quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't be sad. I will go to the Marquis of Ding'an's residence and ask the Marquis's wife to do something for you."

"The Lady of Ding'an Marquis came today. I want to divorce Meng Zhanting." Song Siyao told Hongshao a general account of what happened today.

Hongshao's face lit up with joy, her eyes reddening. "Miss, you've recovered? That's wonderful! It must be the Marquis's wife and young master watching over you from heaven! But..."

With a hesitant expression, she tentatively asked, "Miss, have you really thought this through? Have you considered forgiving your son-in-law just this once?"

"There's only one chance of cheating, or countless times. Once you're unfaithful, you're gone for good!" Song Siyao said firmly.

Hong Shao's eyes lit up. "Miss, you've said that before."

She seemed to see the young general who had once amazed the world return.

Song Siyao was unaware of Hongshao's thoughts, but she was somewhat puzzled as to why the original owner of this body, who grew up in the Great Zhou Dynasty, would have such progressive ideas as a woman.

She didn't pursue the matter further, and helped Hongshao up, saying calmly, "Let's leave here first."

The master and servant returned to their courtyard. Song Siyao set Hongshao's broken bones and took out silver needles from the Soul-Capturing Bracelet. After the acupuncture was completed, the pain in Hongshao's leg disappeared.

"Take good care of yourself, your leg will recover to normal." Despite the excruciating pain of the bone setting, Hong Shao didn't utter a sound. Song Siyao hadn't expected that the original owner of this body had such a resilient maid by her side.

"Thank you, Miss. I trust your medical skills." Hong Shao looked at Song Siyao with bright eyes, without any doubt as to why Song Siyao, who once had the intelligence of a three-year-old, suddenly understood medicine.

"I used to know medicine too?" Song Siyao asked.

"Miss……"

Before Hongshao could finish speaking, Qingjiao's voice rang out from the doorway, "Fourth Madam, the Vice Minister and Madam Song have arrived. The Second Madam requests your presence."

"Miss, I'll go with you." Hongshao's face was full of worry. Minister Song and Madam Song were Song Siyao's uncle and aunt, but they were not kind people.

"No need, you rest and wait for me."

I'm going to get back at you for the pain in your legs!
