The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Passing through the hanging flower gate, the master and servants arrived at the main courtyard. Gu Lingxi nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad! Although it's not as big as the General's Mansion, it's small but complete! It has a main house, side rooms, and east and west wings—everything you could need! A standard two-courtyard house!"

The wine has been delivered and is in the west wing. Would you like to go and take a look now?

Hmm! Let's go take a look! Pushing open the door and seeing the room filled with bottles of liquor was quite a sight!

You go and take care of your business. Wait for me at the teahouse next to Xiangyue Tower later!

Yes, the two clasped their hands in farewell and took their leave!

After seeing the two off and closing the door tightly, Gu Lingxi waved her hand and put all the wine into her spatial storage!

The space was a riot of color, with hundreds of flowers blooming in a breathtaking display! The bees and butterflies that had been brought in a few days ago had already multiplied several times in just a few days! They were being nourished by the spiritual energy of the space.

Ling Xi felt like they were almost sentient! As soon as she entered, the butterflies and bees seemed to know that she was the owner of this place, and they would fly over and circle around her for a long time, as if trying to please her!

Ahri excitedly ran over and rubbed against her, making her feel ticklish! Ahri, is the steam oven you asked me to make ready?

"Mmm, Master! Okay, here it is!" Following the hopping Ahri, Gu Lingxi arrived at a dark, dingy stove. She looked it over. "Hmm, this copying skill is pretty good; it looks quite convincing!" She had Ahri make a distillation boiler that could purify wine and also extract various flower nectars to make beauty water and essential oils!

Let's get started! There's plenty of time in the space! She doesn't need to rush!

The alcohol content here is too low. After purification and the addition of some spiritual spring water, she'll first blend a batch of floral wine with several types of flower petals, and then blend some fruit wine! She's confident these wines will sell like hotcakes! The floral wine isn't in a rush; she can make it after the bottles and jars are customized! The shop isn't even ready yet anyway! But Gu Lingxi always likes to plan ahead! Once everything is prepared, she can open the shop and be an instant hit! Just thinking about it is exciting!

After continuous purification, more than half of the wine was finally processed! The air was filled with the aroma of wine, and Gu Lingxi's face was flushed red—she was truly intoxicated by the fragrance! She took a small sip, and mmm, it was so fragrant and mellow! It was spicy yet smooth on the palate! The aroma filled her mouth! The wine infused with flower petals was even more amazing! These petals were grown using spiritual spring water, and their fragrance permeated the wine!

After preparing the spirit wine and waiting for the smell of alcohol to dissipate from her body, Gu Lingxi finally left the spatial dimension! She waved a small portion of the wine she had prepared and moved it out of the space, placing it back in the room as it was before contentedly carrying two small jars and leaving the Ling residence!

He planned to visit Old Master Liu's family to see if he could get something for nothing! He wanted to finalize the deal with the cloth shop! It wouldn't be good to go empty-handed on his first visit! She really wasn't sure what gifts to give these high-ranking officials and nobles! So she simply brought two jars of wine! Whether they appreciated it or not, she couldn't do anything about it; this wine was infused with spiritual spring water, and for wine lovers, it was worth a fortune!

After asking around, I was fortunate that Liu Taifu's residence was not far away. It only took me the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to arrive at the gate of Taifu's residence!

The burly man guarding the gate, seeing that Gu Lingxi was indeed handsome, yet had no attendants and was carrying two wine jars all by himself, couldn't help but feel a hint of contempt! He had seen plenty of these superficially respectable but actually impoverished scholars! They were either here to curry favor with the Grand Tutor's mansion or to ask for their third young lady's hand in marriage! Truly, a toad trying to eat swan meat!

Gu Lingxi sensed a hint of hostility even before she got close, which was completely inexplicable! This person!

Before he could finish speaking, the burly gatekeeper impatiently shooed him away like a fly! "Hey, go away, go away! Don't you even know where you are? Is this a place for a down-and-out like you?"

Gu Lingxi frowned. She looked at herself and realized that her clothes weren't tattered. This guy must have something wrong with his eyes. He didn't ask her anything and just said she was a poor person!

Dude, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw me looking down on my luck?

Hey! I'm telling you, you pretentious, penniless pedants, you're getting cocky now! Calling yourselves "masters"? Get lost!

Caught off guard, Gu Lingxi was pushed by the burly man and stumbled. She lost her grip on the jar of wine, which fell to the ground, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately wafted out!

Passersby were drawn in, stopping to watch. What's that smell? It smells amazing! Who's that? Oh my, what a waste! Such good stuff is being wasted!

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man shamelessly picked up a piece of the partially broken wine jar and started drinking! He slurped as he drank, exclaiming, "Good wine! Good wine! This is the best wine I've ever tasted in my life!" His gleaming eyes practically pierced the other jar in Gu Lingxi's hand! The attendants beside him couldn't bear to watch any longer. The old master was truly obsessed with wine; only he would do something so unrefined!

Gu Lingxi was furious! She was absolutely livid! If she didn't have something to ask of him, she would have punched him the moment he spoke so rudely! She never expected him to be so obnoxious! He actually dared to push her; it would be a real shame not to teach him a lesson!

You son of a bitch! You're asking for it! How dare you push me!

Gu Lingxi raised her foot and kicked the man a long way away. The burly man crashed heavily into the gate of the mansion! He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out! He really didn't expect that someone who looked so weak could kick him away with one kick!

Who is it? How dare you cause trouble in front of my Grand Tutor's residence?

A carriage pulled up nearby! A man and a woman stepped out! The man was handsome and refined, exuding an air of scholarly elegance! He was indeed an extraordinary young master from a scholarly family! The girl looked to be about the same age as Gu Lingxi, displaying the demeanor of a well-bred young lady!

Liu Yucheng frowned slightly. He had just returned and encountered this incident. Someone actually dared to cause trouble in front of the mansion gate.

Gu Lingxi wasn't afraid and slowly turned around. "Oh, it seems the one in charge has arrived."

Upon seeing Gu Lingxi's appearance clearly, Liu Yucheng was speechless. Such a handsome and extraordinary person didn't seem like the type to be rude. So he patiently asked politely, "May I ask why this young master would beat up a servant of our Grand Tutor's mansion in front of the residence?"

Gu Lingxi spoke casually. "Why else would I hit him? He deserved it. Didn't you see all this spilled wine? A servant dared to be so rude without even asking why, and now he dared to shove a guest! I didn't know your Grand Tutor's mansion repays its savior like this?"

A savior? Liu Yucheng was puzzled. He had just returned home from his break at the Imperial Academy and was unaware of what had happened in the past few days.

Liu Mengqing, standing to the side, suddenly brightened up and exclaimed, "Oh, I know you're the young master who saved Xuan'er on the street that day!"

Just as her sister-in-law had said, he was handsome and exceptionally good-looking. His fluid and graceful fighting style was incredibly cool. If they weren't in public, she would have loved to run over and express her excitement and admiration. However, out of consideration for her refined upbringing, she held back.
