Chapter 218: A Letter To Announce Divorce (1/2)

Translator: Madesmoiselle V.

“Consider it done!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded. “I’ll go with you,” he continued after a short period of silence.

“Sure!” Murong Xue nodded. With Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan casting covetous eyes on her, she couldn’t defend herself all on her own, however, she would be totally safe with Ouyang Shaochen as her company.

Before long, Murong Xue walked out from behind the screen in a pale blue dress. Her dress, on which there were beautiful butterflies seemingly dancing in the air, suited her very much, as if tailored perfectly based on her size.

The servants took in a dozen of dishes whose delicious aroma would make her mouth watery, occupying almost half of the table.

After finishing her meal rapidly and gracefully, Murong Xue left for the Country-Guarding Marquis Mansion.

Though still at a distance, she could see a large group of people crowding at the entrance. What happened? Murong Xue frowned in confusion.

She hurried forward and wedged herself in the forefront of the crowd. The butler of Wu'an Marquis’ Mansion, standing at the gate with a letter in his hand, read rhythmically, “Murong Rou, Song Tianwen’s wife was so shameless that she adulterated with another man and got herself pregnant. In order to keep the scandal a secret, she plotted to burn her husband dead, as well as persecuting an innocent woman along with her child...”

“Is this...Song Tianwen’s petition or his letter to announce divorce?” Murong Xue muttered.

“It should be the letter to announce divorce. If it were a petition, he should have read it at Shuntian Hall,” Ouyang Shaochen answered calmly.

“Why is he announcing it now?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows.

“I heard that Song Tianwen has just woken up.” Ouyang Shaochen said.

Murong Xue nodded understandingly. As soon as Song Tianwen woke up, he asked the butler to send the letter here.

Others would present the letter in their own rooms to save face for their wives.

While Song Tianwen actually ordered the butler to read the letter in public at the gate of the mansion, publishing Murong Rou’s affairs and evil deeds to ruin her reputation completely.

“How cruel Murong Rou is to kill an innocent child!”

“Indeed! Even though he is an illegitimate son, she shouldn’t have been so merciless.”

“Exactly! As a mother herself, isn’t she afraid of the retribution?”

“She has already been punished with her miscarriage this time!”
