Qin Yaru slowly raised her hand, closed her eyes, and smiled, saying, "Husband, this is the last time I will call you Husband openly."
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Chen Wenyue's heart softened; he thought she was reluctant to part ways. Little did he know that at this moment, Qin Yaru felt quite relieved. After all these years, she had never felt as good as she did today.
The divorce letter was finally completed. Qin Yaru traced the words written on it: "Husband and wife do not live in harmony, feelings do not match; both wish to part ways, fearing there will be no future claims. This document is established as a record." After a long while, she carefully put it away.
Seeing her like this made Chen Wenyue feel even more pity for her, especially when he noticed Qin Yaru bow her head, revealing her snow-white neck and graceful figure. It was truly captivating. The thought of his woman serving another man made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but reach out to embrace Qin Yaru, only to find that he had missed.
"Please... handle Da Lang's matter sooner rather than later, lest your future bride becomes unhappy."
With that, regardless of Chen Wenyue's stunned expression, she turned and left.
"Ah, it seems that as long as it's a woman, she will get jealous." Chen Wenyue shook his head, thinking that Qin Yaru was just being jealous. Watching her retreating figure made him feel that a beautiful woman's jealousy had its own charm.
He probably never thought that Qin Yaru would genuinely want to leave him. First of all, at this moment, Chen Wenyue was full of confidence in himself; hadn't even the Princess developed deep feelings for him? Secondly, he and Qin Yaru had grown up together; they had once been the closest of friends. He understood her feelings for him very well.
If it weren't for the matter of time travel, Consort Qin would likely still hold onto hope for him as he imagined, clinging desperately to a dead branch without wanting to let go.
Chen Wenyue worked efficiently. Perhaps moved by Qin Yaru's feelings, he saw Da Lang as an obstacle to marrying the Princess and wanted to please Xiangyang Wang. In just three hours, Da Lang was adopted by Chen Erlang and would no longer be associated with Chen Wenyue.
Of course, the smoothness of the process was also due to Qin Yaru's efforts; she proactively went to the clan leader's house to discuss this matter.
When she went to this matter, the Fang Family was also taken aback, unable to understand how Consort Qin could have such a sudden thought.
Because Qin Yaru did not want any of Chen Erlang's property, on the contrary, she took the initiative to have Da Lang write a document to give all of Chen Erlang's remaining assets to the clan for the purpose of purchasing ancestral land for sacrifices. The clan leader readily agreed.
In fact, Chen Erlang was also a scholar. In his early years, he spent all his family fortune on education and later on medical expenses, leaving only two acres of poor land, which was far inferior to the benefits Qin Yaru provided to the clan. Even if she did not give this little property to the clan, as long as she wished, the clan leader would not stop her from having Da Lang adopted.
Once everything was settled, the clan leader presided over a ceremony that allowed Da Lang to recognize Qin Yaru as his mother again. Both mother and son were exhausted after such a tumultuous experience, especially Da Lang, who nearly collapsed.
As a three-year-old child, he was confused about everything. After finally having his father return home, he didn't even get to see him before this father suddenly became someone else's father. His uncle, who had died of illness last year, had now become his Daddy. Even though Da Lang was relatively mature for his age, he was still left in a fog.
The Fang Family could only laugh and cry at the situation, repeatedly asking, "Why go through all this trouble?"
Qin Yaru let out a breath, holding the drowsy Da Lang and making him more comfortable in her arms. She lifted her head and softly said, "I divorced Wang Wu."
The Fang Family was stunned. "What?" The matter of Chen Wenyue and Qin Yaru's divorce was not something that could be publicly announced; it was disgraceful and had happened recently. Since Chen Wenyue had not yet informed the clan, the Fang Family naturally did not know. Upon hearing it suddenly, it was no wonder she couldn't believe it.
Qin Yaru smiled and repeated, "I divorced Wang Wu."
"He dares!" The Fang Family flushed with anger. "That scoundrel Chen Wenyue is supposed to be a scholar; doesn't he understand 'the three don't go'? He has married you during your time of poverty and hardship; you have been diligent in taking care of the family and honoring your parents while giving him a son. Now that he has become successful, he wants to divorce you? How can that be right? I will go find him and talk to the elders of the clan; let everyone judge this matter!"
With that, the Fang Family stood up to leave. Qin Yaru quickly grabbed her arm and gently said, "Aunt, don’t be anxious; divorce is fine; there’s nothing wrong with it."
Fang Family was taken aback, looking at Qin Yaru's calm expression. Taking a deep breath, a hint of pity appeared on her face as she bitterly smiled and said, "Yes, since he has climbed to a higher branch, sooner or later he will find an excuse to divorce you. Even if he doesn't, you won't have a good life with him. It's better to part ways; you are still young and can find someone better."
Although she spoke this way, Fang Family held even more disdain for Chen Wenyue. In today's society, where customs are simple and people value etiquette and morality, having a bad reputation is almost fatal.
"Don't worry, even if you part ways with him, he still has to provide you with alimony and return the dowry you spent on him. If you're too timid to speak up, Aunt can talk to him. If he still wants to take the imperial examination and pursue an official career, he can't be so unreasonable."
Qin Yaru sighed, her face filled with gratitude: "Qin Yaru thanks Aunt." She had done so much to build good relations with Chen Family Village, all for this purpose.
Now that her goal was achieved, even though the people of Chen Family Village saw that Chen Wenyue was about to rise in status and didn't want to offend him, they were still willing to speak a word of justice for Qin Yaru.
Upon hearing the news of the couple's separation, Fang Family finally understood why Qin Yaru wanted to adopt Da Lang. With a long sigh, she said, "Being a mother is not easy. Don't worry; although Da Lang has been adopted, there is no one in the Zhou Erlang family. He will naturally still be with you. Teach him well; when he is older, he can go to the Clan School for his studies. He will definitely have a bright future."
While Qin Yaru was dealing with the aftermath of the separation, Chen Wenyue happily went to find Pang Yuanying. Naturally, he couldn't straightforwardly offer his wife but hinted at it indirectly.
Pang Yuanying couldn't contain his joy; it was rare for him to be so happy. He even shared a drink with Chen Wenyue, resulting in a drunken slumber where he experienced a wonderful spring dream that he hadn't had in years.
The servants serving the Marquis suddenly noticed that their proud master had become much easier to please. He was radiant all day long and even dug out many new clothes, carefully dressing up and applying some powder that he had previously disliked and never used.
