Clear Spring Academy.
When Madam Xiao thought of Aunt Liang, she felt a surge of resentment clogging her chest. ”That slut, Aunt Liang, she actually dared to add insult to injury while she was at the Lian Fang Incantation today. Her words were an unmistakable accusation against me and Yun Xiang.”
”That slut dares to treat her like this?” Lian Shiya asked in surprise when she heard this.
”Seeing that I have fallen, you think that my situation is already ruined. Who knew that your father would not blame me? In the future, I will definitely teach her a lesson and let her know who I am. ” A trace of coldness appeared in the Xiao family's gaze.
”Father, father …” Lian Shiya suddenly looked at the door with a frightened expression.
When the Xiao Clan heard this, their hearts trembled. They suddenly turned their heads, only to see that at some point, Lian Yan Qing had appeared at the doorway with his hands behind his back. His gaze was fixated on her body.
That gaze was not one of anger, but it was as calm as the surface of a placid lake.
”Old, old master, when did you arrive? We didn't receive any instructions from the maids.” 'Crap, didn't I hear all the curses I said to Aunt Liang just now? '
Even Shi Ya's face was pale as she said nervously, ”Father, you're here.”
Lian Yan Qing tightly pursed his lips and walked in without saying a word. However, his gaze gave off a terrifying aura. It was as if there was a volcanic eruption of anger buried under his calm surface, causing the Xiao Clan's heart to hang in midair.
Lady Xiao came back to her senses and wiped her eyes with the handkerchief. She said somewhat sorrowfully, ”Speaking of which, it's been a long time since the old master came to the Clear Spring Academy. I've had people cook his favorite soup on the stove every day.
”Yes, father, you don't know how much I have missed you. I will go and tell my wife to bring the soup over now.”
”No need.” Just as Lian Shiya turned around, Lian Yanqing said coldly.
”Master …” The Xiao family's old patriarch was startled and his heart skipped a beat.
”Take this back to the Xiao family.” Lian Yanqing took out the paper in his hand and placed it on the table.
When the Xiao family looked at it, they were immediately shocked. There were two words written clearly on it: divorce letter.
She rushed over and grabbed the letter, her hands trembling fiercely. When she opened it to look, she saw that it was written:
The founder of the book, Lian Yanqing, a person from the capital, had made the Xiao clan his wife. After crossing the family line, this woman had committed many faults, and was in accordance with the law. Because of the relationship between husband and wife, she could not bear to speak of it openly and was willing to return to the sect.
Return to the sect and allow them to remarry?!
The Xiao Clan only felt their vision darken as their feet turned soft and they fell to the ground. Immediately, tears flowed down their cheeks as they raised their heads and looked pitifully at Lian Yanqing, saying, ”Old Master, you … You... You want to give up on me? ”
”With your status as a concubine, there's no need to write a letter of rest. You can just go back to the Xiao family, but you are still the wife of the Emperor. A letter of rest can be considered an explanation to the Emperor.” Lian Yan Qing cupped his fist and said.
Lian Shiya could not believe it. She limply ran over, took the letter of rest from Madam Xiao's hands, and quickly looked at it. Then, she bent her knees, knelt on the ground, and cried —
Father, you can't do this to my mother. She … she still has her father's flesh and blood in her stomach.
