Chapter 434 Divorcing the Wife

Chapter 434: Repudiating the Wife

Ji Yuntang: "..."

Although she didn't know what place Hua Feixue was talking about, seeing how sure of himself he was, she didn't try to stop him any further.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't hold you up any longer!"

"I'll head out with you to the Xishu Kingdom in half a month."

Hua Feixue stood up, stuffed the banknotes into his clothes, and winked at her.

"It's settled then. I won't disturb you two lovebirds any longer!"

With that, just like when he'd arrived, he used his Lightness Skill and disappeared without a trace.

Ji Yuntang walked over and prodded Luo Junhe's handsome face, asking him, "A He, you're not really jealous, are you?"

Luo Junhe shook his head slightly, his thin lips parting just a bit, "I know there's nothing going on between you and Chu Yi, but that Crown Prince of Xishu really opened my eyes."

Ji Yuntang blinked and asked, "Are you talking about him cross-dressing?"

"Honestly, when Hua Feixue dresses up as a woman, he looks more like a woman than actual women do. At least the first time I met him, I couldn't tell at all."

Luo Junhe raised an eyebrow, a glint flashing in his eyes, "So, this time, there's a good chance he'll dress up as a woman again to go to that place he mentioned."

Ji Yuntang: "..."

With free food, drink, and endless money, she had a feeling this wasn't a good place at all.

Meanwhile, at the Marquis of Yongning's residence.

Madam Meng had been out cold for a full two hours before she came to under the care of the mansion's physician.

The first thing she did upon waking was ask her maid, "Where's that little bastard Wu Chaoyang?"

The maid cowered, answering fearfully, "To answer you, madam, the youngest son of the Wu family has already been killed by the Second Miss."

"Good riddance!" Madam Meng threw her head back and burst into laughter, her cackle as grating as a demon's.

Suddenly, a figure in black kicked the door open and barged in, slapping Madam Meng hard across the face without a word.

"What's so good about it, you stupid woman? You've nearly ruined our whole household!"

Ji Nanchuan was livid. He'd taken a bellyful of anger from Luo Jingshen, and now he could only come back to take it out on Madam Meng.

Seeing this, the maid quickly slipped away.

Madam Meng scrambled to her feet, flustered, "Marquis, where's Qing Qing?"

Ji Nanchuan was seething with resentment, "You have the nerve to ask about Qing Qing? Tell me, what stupid things have you been up to lately?"

"Don't think I don't know, Marquis. Earlier, you had Qing Qing egg on Mu Rongyue to frame Ji Yuntang for cheating at the Canglang Poetry Talk. In the end, Mu Rongyue bit Qing Qing back and framed her for treachery."

"If it weren't for the Crown Prince stepping in, Qing Qing would have been blamed that time."

"Now, not long after, you've taken in the Wu family again. You know exactly who they are, yet you still give them jobs. Ji Yuntang wouldn't even support that whole family, but you treat them like gold. Do you think our household is a dumping ground?"

"Now look what's happened—the Wu family has ruined us. Are you happy now!?"

Madam Meng's eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, "Marquis, it was that bitch Ji Yuntang who threatened me. She already knew about the connection between the Wu family and Qing Qing. I was afraid she'd ruin Qing Qing's chances with the Crown Prince, so I had no choice but to take in the Wu family."

"This matter must have something to do with Ji Yuntang. She's the one who put the Wu family up to harming us!"

Ji Nanchuan slammed the table hard, his face turning even more terrifying.

"Ji Yuntang, Ji Yuntang, everything gets blamed on Ji Yuntang. If you'd gotten rid of the Wu family the very first day they arrived, would any of this have happened?"

"You're the stupid one, yet you blame everyone else. How did I end up marrying such a useless woman?"

Madam Meng was scolded, sobbing uncontrollably, not daring to talk back.

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in her head, and she thought of something.

"Marquis, I remember now. That night, Qing Qing and I wanted to get rid of them, but Hua Feixue suddenly showed up and asked if they'd registered with the authorities when they entered the capital."

"I was also afraid the authorities would check on their whereabouts, so I figured I'd keep them for a few days and then find a chance to kill the Wu family. I didn't expect Qing Qing to send them to Prince Ye's mansion the next day."

"The Wu family stayed at Prince Ye's mansion for a day and then came back, kneeling and begging me to let them stay. Coincidentally, Ji Yuntang also sent someone with a message, so I had no choice but to keep them in the mansion."

"On the day the Crown Prince sent the betrothal gifts, I was also afraid the Wu family would cause trouble and mess things up, so Qing Qing and I locked Chen Huaxiu and Wu Jinxi up separately, and even fed Wu Shijie a mute potion so he couldn't talk for three days."

"As for Wu Chaoyang, my brother was personally watching him to keep him from running off. Who would've thought... that little brat was so vicious that he actually killed my brother with a knife."

After sorting through all this, Madam Meng realized belatedly that the root of all these changes was Hua Feixue.

Usually, she stayed in her courtyard at the mansion and never went anywhere.

But that night, she'd inexplicably come to meddle in the Wu family's affairs and stopped her from killing them.

The more Madam Meng thought about it, the more she felt that Hua Feixue's showing up that night was too suspicious.

She shouldn't have been there in the first place.

With that thought, Madam Meng said urgently, "Hua Feixue, it must be Hua Feixue who did this."

She quickly rushed out and opened the door, shouting, "Someone, bring Hua Feixue to me!"

The maid went around and came back, finally reporting, "To report to you, madam, Miss Hua is not in the mansion. I searched everywhere but couldn't find her."

Madam Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pressed, "At the betrothal banquet, did any of you see her?"

The maid shook her head, "I asked around, and everyone said they didn't see Miss Hua, and no one knows where she went."

Madam Meng felt her heart go cold!

Hua Feixue wasn't in the mansion, and coincidentally, the household had just run into trouble. She always felt that this matter was connected to Hua Feixue.

Madam Meng remembered that Hua Feixue had been brought back by Ji Qingfeng, so she quickly ordered, "Someone, summon the Second Young Master for me."

Ji Qingfeng arrived quickly. Although he hadn't been involved in the household's affairs, he knew they were no small matter.

"Mother, are you feeling any better?"

Madam Meng didn't answer his question and immediately asked, "Qing Feng, where's Hua Feixue? Where did she go?"

Ji Qingfeng looked puzzled, "She should still be in her room. Why are you looking for her, Mother?"

Madam Meng swayed slightly, knowing that Ji Qingfeng probably didn't know where Hua Feixue had gone either.

"She's not in the mansion."

She said in a daze, murmuring, "All of us may have underestimated that bitch Hua Feixue."

"The Wu family must have been released by her. She knew that once things were exposed, she'd be implicated, so she'd already left the mansion long ago."
