Faced with Jiang Yuyue's unreasonable demands, Xie Jinglan only smiled coldly, his tone still full of sarcasm, "What? Now that your own husband is back, he still can't satisfy you?"

"Oh?"

Seeing that he had finally brought this up, Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow, "Now that I'm pregnant, I don't need to satisfy you."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue picked at his silk ribbon and said slowly, "However, I can grant your wish, if you wish..."

Under the covers, Jiang Yuyue's hands were not still, causing Xie Jinglan's body to stiffen abruptly, but his indifference remained unchanged. "How do you want to satisfy me?"

Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding.

She's really saying one thing and meaning another; she clearly wants it very much.

About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yuyue sat up and carefully wiped her porcelain-white hands with a silk handkerchief.

Xie Jinglan leaned to the side with his eyes closed, resting, his expression noticeably more relaxed than before.

……

Meanwhile, at this moment, Princess Song Jinwan of Huajin in Tongfu Inn was furious because Xie Yunqi had been away for a long time and had not returned.

"Even if you can't find it, go find it for this princess!"

Song Jinwan's voice became shrill with rage, "Isn't he from the Xie family? Then go find him at the Xie family! Do you think he's just vanished?!"

The guards nearby remained silent, too terrified to speak. This was the scene Xie Yunqi and Prince Ning, Song Yunming, witnessed upon their return.

Xie Yunqi still hasn't gotten used to Song Jinwan's unpredictable temper, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to her.

"Why is the princess so angry again?"

Xie Yunqi smiled and said, "I was with my brother, how could I possibly get lost? It's just that we changed our residence and it took a little effort to find the location. I didn't expect it to make the princess so worried."

Song Jinwan turned around at the sound and saw Xie Yunqi had returned. She snorted coldly again, "Worried? What am I worried about? I bet you went home and saw your mistress and didn't want to come back!"

"Sister, you've wronged Yunqi."

Prince Ning, Song Yunming, was in a great mood after seeing Jiang Yuyue's beauty today. He spoke up for Xie Yunqi, saying, "I can vouch for him, Your Majesty. He was genuinely delayed because he was inquiring about where to stay, and he did not intentionally stay late."

These words calmed Song Jinwan's anger down slightly.

Seeing this, Xie Yunqi quickly stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder. "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back to our rooms and rest."

Once inside, Song Jinwan finally inquired about Jiang Yuyue's matter, "How did it go? What were the results of your negotiations today?"

"That went smoothly, of course."

Xie Yunqi hurriedly said, "I went back and tried to persuade Jiang Yuyue with all my heart. She is quite sensible and agreed to divorce me."

After saying this, Xie Yunqi, as if to show his sincerity, immediately picked up a pen and paper from the room and wrote a divorce agreement, then readily signed his name on it.

"Look, I've already signed. All I need is her signature for our marriage to be off."

Seeing this, Song Jinwan nodded in satisfaction. "It seems she's not a fool after all. If she dares to keep bothering you, this princess will make her regret it!"

"However, there is one more thing, and I'm not sure whether I should tell you or not."

Xie Yunqi said with a troubled expression, "My brother came home with me today and after meeting Jiang Yuyue, he seems to have taken a liking to her."

"really!?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jinwan was overjoyed. "If that's the case, then just give her to my brother, and you won't be afraid of her pestering you!"

However, Song Jinwan's words carried a hint of malice. She knew her brother's personality very well. Although he held a high position, he had never been truly in love with the women around him. Even if he took a fancy to one, she would only treat her as a temporary plaything. Once her brother's interest waned, she would discard her like trash.

Moreover, Song Jinwan was not worried at all about whether Jiang Yuyue might refuse. After all, over the years, no woman who had been favored by her imperial brother had ever escaped his grasp!

"Since my brother has taken a liking to her, it would be inappropriate for me to continue our marriage."

Although Xie Yunqi originally intended to use the marriage to restrain Jiang Yuyue and let her go after she found the item, now that Jiang Yuyue was about to fall into the hands of Prince Ning, there was obviously no need for that.

Using Prince Ning to control Jiang Yuyue is far more effective than this marriage.

"Then I'll take the divorce papers back to the Xie family first thing tomorrow morning and have her sign them immediately, how about that?"

Hearing this, Song Jinwan felt even more delighted. She had been worried that Jiang Yuyue, the so-called number one beauty in Jiangnan, might become an obstacle for her, but she never expected that she would also become her brother's plaything. It seems that her fate was just like this!

……

As promised, Xie Yunqi arrived at the Xie family home early the next morning and went straight to the backyard to find Jiang Yuyue.

"Husband?"

Jiang Yuyue was washing up in the courtyard when she saw Xie Yunqi appear, and her face showed a hint of surprise. "Why are you here again?"

"I've come to divorce you."

Xie Yunqi showed the divorce papers. "What did you think about last night? If you agree, then sign this."

Jiang Yuyue hadn't expected Xie Yunqi to be so eager; she thought he would deliberately delay for a while. However, this development was still within Jiang Yuyue's control.

"I did think about it carefully last night."

Jiang Yuyue said earnestly, "Even though I am quite reluctant, I don't want to see our whole family in trouble. In that case, I agree to the divorce."

Seeing Jiang Yuyue's reaction, Xie Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "It's kind of you to cooperate so much. Take all the Xie family shops that I promised you last night as compensation."

Xie Yunqi's reason for agreeing so readily was simple. After all, he was now the imperial son-in-law and would eventually have to move to the capital with his family. These few dilapidated shops in Jinling City weren't worth much money anyway, so he might as well give them to Jiang Yuyue and at least get a good reputation.

Jiang Yuyue nodded and signed her name on the divorce papers.

Seeing how easily the issue was resolved, Xie Yunqi picked up the divorce papers, and a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

"Xiaoliu, let's pack our things."

Jiang Yuyue lowered her eyes and wiped away non-existent tears. "Now that I am no longer a daughter-in-law of the Xie family, there is naturally no need for me to stay here any longer."

The news of Xie Yunqi's return quickly alerted the Xie family. Xie Yunqi was now the most respected person in the family. The group rushed to the backyard, only to find Jiang Yuyue packing her things.
