Chapter 161 Freeing herself (1/2)
At this side, Shu Huan went back in the direction of Gu residence with Gu Xihe. Halfway, they went through an alley to go back in the direction of Ji Danqing’s place. Because she was in a good mood, she couldn’t help but keep wanting to laugh. She couldn’t control the corners of her lips from going up.
Gu Xihe casted her a glance and said, “Hey, you are very weird!”
Shu Huan was a bit dumbfounded, “What?”
“You’ve been divorced! Do you know that you’ve been divorced?!” Gu Xihe raised his voice and said, “And you are still so happy!”
Naturally, Shu Huan wouldn’t be happy at the mention of the divorce. However, there was only the feeling that she had been thrown away like garbage. It wasn’t like she cared much about it. After all, she felt some joy of finally being able to separate from Gu household.
She pursed her lips and said, “Why do you have to mention the pot that doesn’t boil? I’m happy because I got the slave contract. It doesn’t have anything to do with being divorced or not!”
Mention the pot that doesn’t boil: touch a sore spot
Gu Xihe spoke the truth, “That is also very strange! Who did you see set up a trap because she wanted to cut all ties with her maiden family? Not to mention that you’ve been divorced now and could only return to your maiden family. Now, it’s great (sarcastic). You fell out with them. Where are you going to go?”
“Hey!” Shu Huan was a bit unhappy. “Just now, it was you who began with causing the trouble. It wasn’t set up by me. I just took the opportunity!”
Gu Xihe glared at her, “I came to your aid because you were suffering injustice!”
“See, see!” Shu Huan laughed. “You also know that it’s injustice. Then, why should I go back? With my stepmother’s character, do you think that I can live peacefully if I follow her?”
“This is true…,” Gu Xihe looked at her with sympathy. “Being divorced first and then had a fall out with your maiden family. It’s truly rare to see people as unlucky as you.”
“…”
Was he pitying her?
No need!
Shu Huan reached out her hand, “Give me the slave contract!”
“No!” Gu Xihe deliberately backed. He took out the slave contract, waved it and laughed evilly, “If I truly put a stamp on it and then drag you back to be my personal maid; what expression would old madam have when she sees you?”
Really childish!
Shu Huan said, “She will die from anger caused by you!”
Gu Xihe touched his head, “That is a possibility…Then, I better give it to you. Keep it well. Don’t let others steal it. Otherwise, you will be finished in this life and can only be a lowly servant with a slave contract.”
“I know,” Shu Huan took over the slave contract. She had long planned to keep it well. With this on hand, the effect to intimidate was greater. She was guarding against Xu shi coming to cause trouble at her (SH) door. However, Gu Xihe’s reminder was also on point. She needed to hide it more carefully. If this also couldn’t be done, she can get put her own name as the buyer. Anyway, Xu shi was illiterate and wouldn’t be able to understand it. She (X) would think that it still had the legal binding effect!
When Gu Xihe mentioned the word “lowly”, she was reminded of a very important matter, “Little fourth, do you have a way to help me get an independent household registration?”
“With a household registration, you have to pay taxes.”
“I know. I will just take it as spending money to buy a sense of security.”
“I…,” Gu Xihe rubbed on the ground with the tip of his shoe. “I had a big fight with old madam before I came out…”
