Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

Chapter 237 Sweet Concubine Voluntarily Divorced

"Don't involve innocent people, this money is what I owe," Feng Chenyi said righteously.

The surrounding people were impressed by Prince Rui's actions. Although he was forced to the door because he couldn't pay back the money, he still showed great responsibility.

Da Yi looked at Feng Chenyi with a mocking tone, "What will you use to repay me?" With that, he pointed the sword he had pressed against Lord Lu's neck at Consort Tian.

"Didn't she marry you? You've worked so hard to protect Fengli Kingdom, and you borrowed this money to raise military supplies and resist foreign enemies. Logically, everyone in Fengli Kingdom should have a share of this money. Yunyi Manor only wants what belongs to your Prince Rui's Mansion. It's not unreasonable, is it?"

The freshman said it with such confidence.

Lord Lu watched as his daughter was held to the sword, and tears streamed down his face. Consort Tian was so frightened that she retreated step by step, but even so, the sword remained close to her.

"I've lost my patience. I'll ask you one last time, can I leave the things behind?" After saying that, Da Yi impatiently moved the sword toward Tian Fei's cheek.

At this distance, even the slightest tremor of the hand would leave a scar on Consort Tian's face.

Lord Lu was terrified. If his precious daughter's face was ruined, she would be finished. Seeing that Da Yi was about to take another step closer with her sword, Lord Lu hurriedly shouted, "Stop! My daughter is no longer a member of Prince Rui's household. She has been divorced by Prince Rui. I'm here to take her home!"

Even after saying those words, Lord Lu still felt a pang of regret. He dared not look at Feng Chenyi, much less at his own daughter.

Upon hearing that she had been divorced, Consort Tian seemed to have found a glimmer of hope. She grabbed Da Yi's sleeve and ran frantically, saying, "Yes, my father is right. I have nothing to do with the Prince Rui's mansion anymore, and these things have nothing to do with the Prince Rui's mansion either."

Everyone around was taken aback, including Zhai Yun, who hadn't said a word. The surrounding people began to murmur among themselves.

"Was Consort Tian really divorced? If she was, then her dowry will truly have nothing to do with the Prince Rui's mansion."

"Could it be that Prince Rui is divorcing Consort Tian at this time in order to preserve her?"

Lord Lu was very pleased to see his daughter's reaction. She was indeed his daughter, and she knew that there was a trade-off.

Zhai Yun finally understood. The whole thing was staged by Yi Gege in the first year of university, all to force Lord Lu or Consort Tian to say those words. He wanted to take the opportunity to divorce Consort Tian.

Zhai Yun's eyes swept over Da Yi and Yi Gege. Yi Gege's eyes held a calm and composed air, as if he were watching the world unfold and strategizing. Da Yi, on the other hand, quickly concealed his expression.

With an incredulous expression, she exclaimed, "What? You were divorced by Prince Rui? How is that possible?" After her initial surprise, the freshman seemed to understand something. "Did you think the people of Yunyi Manor were so easily fooled?"

Lord Lu repeatedly explained, "No, no, it's true."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Feng Chenyi, whispering in Feng Chenyi's ear what Zhai Yun could hear, "Your Highness, there's nothing we can do now. Could you please write this letter of divorce to protect the dowry? Only then can you and Tian'er's future be guaranteed!"

Although Lord Lu said this, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi both knew in their hearts that once this letter of divorce was written, Prince Rui and Consort Tian would have no relationship whatsoever.

Moreover, given Lord Lu's temperament, unless Prince Rui has a chance to turn his life around, he probably will never set foot in that slum again.

Seeing that Feng Chenyi was not moving, Lord Lu repeatedly persuaded him, "This is just a delaying tactic. Tian'er has already married you, so she is yours. Once things are settled on your side, I will definitely bring my daughter to visit you."

Feng Chenyi pretended to be in a difficult position, looked at Consort Tian, ​​and felt reluctant. "Alright, actually I have also thought about this path, so I wrote a letter of divorce, but I couldn't bear to give it to her."

As Feng Chenyi spoke, he took out a prepared letter of divorce from his sleeve. At this moment, Lord Lu saw the letter of divorce as if it were a lifeline, and without thinking twice, he snatched it away.

Upon seeing the letter of divorce, Da Yi fell silent. Taking advantage of the moment, Lord Lu helped Tian Fei up, took her dowry, and left.

The surrounding people who witnessed this scene felt a mix of emotions: some sighed, while others felt sorry for Prince Rui, since everyone in the capital knew that Prince Rui treated Consort Tian very well.

Seeing the lonely figure and reluctant gaze of Prince Rui after Consort Tian left, many people cried.

Da Yi glanced at Feng Chen with a disgruntled expression and said indignantly, "I thought I could recover all the debts of the Prince Rui's mansion today, but it turned out to be a false alarm."

Having said that, he looked at the people from Prince Rui's residence who were still reluctant to leave and said irritably, "Aren't you leaving? What are you doing lounging here?"

Province No. 2 quickly told everyone to pack their things, while Qi Nuo led over an ordinary carriage and helped Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun into it.

Before leaving, everyone couldn't help but glance at the magnificent Prince Rui's Mansion. Now it was full of people from Yunyi Manor, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Of the several hundred people in Prince Rui's mansion, only a dozen or so remained following the convoy. The other maids and servants had been dismissed, while his own men were hidden in the shadows and sent ahead to the small courtyard to provide cover.

Only when the Prince Rui's residence was out of sight did Zhai Yun lower the sedan curtain. Aside from not quite understanding the matter of Consort Tian, ​​there was something else that made Zhai Yun very happy: "It's great that with this move, those spies that were planted have also been dealt with smoothly."

Moreover, looking at the departing entourage today, their poverty is obvious, and it's clear that no one will be interested in the Prince Rui's mansion anytime soon.

Feng Chenyi smiled and gently rubbed the back of Zhai Yun's head, his eyes showing a rare sense of relief. With this move, it was time for the person in the high position to get anxious.

The mansion he was given was so easily used to pay off his debts, and he, a prince, was reduced to living among commoners. Those people felt like they had been slapped in the face.

It won't be long before news of what just happened reaches the palace.

Feng Chenyi did not attend court today. When they arrived at the small courtyard in the northern suburbs, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi first took a stroll around. This place was much better than Fengling City.

The courtyard was full of green plants and grapevines, with a swing hanging under the trellis. The courtyard, with its three courtyards, was a bit crowded for the people living there.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi lived in the innermost courtyard, Qi Nuo and Sheng Er lived on either side, and the other servants lived in the middle courtyard. A main room was reserved at the outermost edge for receiving guests, and the rest were given to the guards.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were tidying up their belongings after moving in. Since returning to the capital, Zhai Yun had rarely seen her brother Yi paint, and now, looking at the scrolls he had put away, she felt a little curious.

Zhai Yun opened a picture of herself dressed as a woman, wearing a veil, from that time she went out to play.
