Chapter 195 Heli Shu
Kangpinghou Mansion.
Lady Kangping entered the study with a smile, "Son, what did you think of Yu Wan from the Duke of Anguo's mansion today...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Xie Guanqing sitting in the study, soaking wet and with a gloomy expression.
She was taken aback, and her words came to an abrupt halt.
"My son, what's going on?"
Although her voice was relatively restrained, it couldn't hide her anger and concern.
"Didn't you go boating on the lake with Yu Wan? Why are you in such a sorry state?"
Xie Guanqing slowly raised his head only after hearing the voice of the Lady of Kangping Marquis.
His eyes were filled with a sinister look.
Lady Kangping was startled at first glance and hurriedly approached, asking, "What exactly happened?"
Xie Guanqing took a few angry, rapid breaths and gritted his teeth, saying, "I was kicked into Biling Lake by Yu Wan!"
Upon hearing this, Lady Kangping's face instantly turned terribly gloomy.
A look of astonishment and anger flashed in her eyes as she stared at Xie Guanqing in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that her son would suffer such humiliation.
"What did you say? That Yu Wan, a mere woman, dares to be so audacious?"
Her voice unconsciously rose in pitch, carrying a sharp edge, echoing in the study.
Xie Guanqing's face was flushed red, both from anger and embarrassment.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white and veins bulged on his forehead. "Mother, I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"
"They even deliberately watched me in the lake... Yu Wan humiliated me, I absolutely cannot let her off easily!"
Lady Kangping, who always doted on her son, did not inquire at all about why Yu Wan had kicked him into the lake.
Instead, they joined in the angry outburst, shouting, "That shrew!"
“I knew this country girl was no good. Li Moqing praised her to the skies! Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer for nothing. I’ll definitely teach her a lesson.”
"And we won't marry that shrew!"
"Once her reputation is ruined, I'll see who dares to marry her!"
Xie Guanqing frowned, abruptly stood up, and the chair fell to the ground behind him with a jarring sound.
"No, Mother, I'm determined to marry Yu Wan!"
Lady Kangping was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Son, she's treated you like this, why do you still want to marry her?"
Xie Guanqing's lips curled into a twisted smile.
His eyes flashed with malice: "Mother, if I don't marry her, how can I torment her every day and make her pay a terrible price for what she did today?"
"I'll make her wish she were dead in the Marquis of Kangping's mansion, and make her regret how she treated me today!"
Lady Kangping was slightly startled upon hearing her son's words.
But then I realized it was an excellent idea.
She bullied her son and thinks she can get away scot-free? Dream on!
only……
Lady Kangping hesitated, "She dared to push you into the lake in front of everyone today; she must be incredibly audacious. If she marries into the household, she won't be easy to control..."
Xie Guanqing sneered and looked at Lady Kangping, "Mother, why are you making a mistake at such a crucial moment?"
"The reason Yu Wan dares to lay a hand on my son now is because she has someone backing her up. Once she marries into the Kangping Marquis's mansion, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Even if the Anguo Duke's mansion wants to protect her, they won't be able to get their hands on our mansion."
"How we deal with her then is entirely up to us."
Lady Kangping's eyes lit up. "That makes sense."
Her eyes darted around, and she already had a plan in mind. "Since you want to marry her, I will definitely make your wish come true."
Xie Guanqing did not doubt what Lady Kangping said.
As a woman herself, her mother should know best how to force a woman to marry.
……
Yu Wan was completely unaware of the mother and son's scheme.
Without Xie Guanqing, that eyesore, she and Xie Jingyao and the others had so much fun that they didn't want to leave until it got dark before they boarded a carriage to return home.
When Lady Anguo saw her return to the manor with a bright smile, she assumed that she was very satisfied with the matchmaking.
She thought that young women are easily embarrassed, so she didn't ask directly, but pondered it in her heart.
We could try to gauge the attitude of the Marquis of Kangping's household and find out when they plan to propose marriage.
Yu Wan was truly exhausted from playing. After enjoying tea and snacks all afternoon, she didn't feel like having dinner. She said goodbye to the Duchess of Anguo and went back to Cuijinxuan to bathe and sleep, completely forgetting about Xie Guanqing.
Yun Mansion.
Uncle Fu stood in front of the gate, pacing back and forth, glancing at the sky every now and then, looking anxious.
Uncle Fu only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a familiar figure.
"Young master! You're finally back! Where have you been all afternoon?!"
After being turned away by the Duke's mansion, the young master said he would go for a walk.
This walk took up the entire afternoon.
Although Uncle Fu thought nothing would happen, he couldn't help but worry.
Yun Shang raised her eyes, her gaze cool and clear. "Nothing."
"Thank you for your concern."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu's face showed a hint of panic, and he said repeatedly, "Young master, you flatter me by saying such things."
"I have already ordered the servants to prepare hot water. Young master, please go in and bathe and have your meal."
Yun Shang nodded slightly.
As he entered the mansion, Uncle Fu watched his retreating figure, feeling that something was amiss.
Young Master Yun is usually aloof, but he would never be as cold as he is today.
The young master's gaze just now felt icy and chilling.
Yun Shang did not eat, but went directly to the bathhouse.
After taking a shower, he returned to his room and saw Miao Hong standing outside the door.
When Miao Hong saw him, she quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Young master, the government office sent an official document today."
Official documents from the government office?
Yun Shang reached out and took it.
Miao Hong tactfully withdrew, but before turning around, she paused and asked cautiously, "Young master, Madam has been at her parents' home for several days. When will you go to fetch her?"
Miao Hong wondered if it was just her imagination.
It seemed that after she asked that question, the young master's aura became even colder.
Just as Miao Hong was wondering what was going on, she saw Yun Shang step into the house without answering her.
Miao Hong wasn't stupid; she realized what was going on almost instantly.
Could it be that there's some problem between the young master and his wife?
Inside the room, Yun Shang sat down at his desk and remained silent for a moment before opening the official documents in his hand.
After seeing the contents more clearly, his eyes instantly darkened.
—A Treaty of Divorce.
He stared at those three words, stunned, frozen in place.
Just then, Miao Hong came in to serve tea. She glanced at the divorce papers on the table and froze. "A divorce paper?!"
She couldn't believe it. "Young master, your wife wants a divorce?"
"Get out." Yun Shang's voice sounded unusually calm, and his cold face showed no emotion.
Miao Hong felt a chill run down her spine.
She inexplicably felt that beneath the young master's calm exterior lay a turbulent undercurrent.
