Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor’s Uncle

Chapter 10

“Nonsense!”

Before Jiang Peihuan could react, Cui Er became anxious and said.

“That day when Miss fell into the water, she almost lost her life. How could it be a pretense?!”

“And as for King Cheng, he was clearly the one who took the initiative to come to our manor and propose marriage to the young lady!”

Yue Er nodded repeatedly.

Everyone in the Jiang family knew about this.

But the problem was, how did the news spread out and turn out to be completely different?

Now, Jiang Peihuan had successfully passed the matter of changing the marriage.

However, because of Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan had become the public enemy of all the women in the capital.

“No way, who is making up stories about the young miss like this? I’ll tear her mouth apart!”

Cui Er rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go out and confront those people who were talking nonsense.

However, before she could even take two steps, she was reprimanded by Jiang Peihuan. “Stop right there.”

“Miss!” Cui Er was especially unwilling.

“They slandered you like that. Are you going to just watch helplessly?”

“Then let me ask you, if you go out and reason with them now, will they believe you?” Jiang Peihuan asked.

Cui Er shook her head subconsciously.

“Since that’s the case, why waste your breath?”

Jiang Peihuan said as she put on her coat.

Although she was dressed plainly, her years of martial arts practice gave her a tall and straight posture, emanating an indescribable presence.

“Besides, I know who did this.”

“Miss, do you mean that someone did this on purpose?” Yue Er seemed to understand something.

Jiang Peihuan chuckled. Although she did not say anything, everything was clear.

Jiang Peihuan’s mother, Xue Yan, had always been in charge of the Jiang Estate, and her housekeeper liked to use military rules, so the Jiang family was very tight-lipped.

If it wasn’t for someone deliberately spreading the news, the incident yesterday probably wouldn’t have spread at all.

If anyone had a reason to do so, wouldn’t it be the second branch?

“How detestable!” Cui Er said.

“It’s done.”

A smile flashed across Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. She squeezed the banknote in her hand.

Since she had already gotten the item, why should she care about these rumors?

Moreover, rumors came and went away quickly.

Jiang Peihuan put away the banknotes, got up, and went to the courtyard to practice her whip.

It was cold outside today, but Jiang Peihuan was sweating heavily in the courtyard. She tried her best to stay present and not dwell on the unbearable past, but the more she tried, the more those painful memories plagued her thoughts.

The Jiang family, her brothers and sisters, her father and mother, and…

Xiao Junhao.

Jiang Peihuan delivered a final blow that split the opposite shelf into two, frightened Cui Er as she entered the room.

Jiang Peihuan was completely exhausted as she sat down on a stone bench.

Cui Er approached her with a mystery smile.

Miss, I have good news. Someone from the Qing King Mansion just arrived.”

Qing King Mansion

Hearing these three words, Jiang Peihuan suddenly gripped the whip in her hand tightly. The bone-chilling coldness almost swallowed her.

At this time in her previous life, Jiang Peihuan had fallen in love with Xiao Junhao.

She liked his literary talent and his gentleness. When he smiled, it was as warm as the spring sun.

Although Xiao Junhao was friendly and gentle to her, he was mostly distant.

Despite her best efforts, she could never figure out what he was thinking, often feeling disappointed and troubled by it.

Now, she could see clearly that it was just Xiao Junhao playing hard to get.

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Jiang Peihuan raised her head to look at Cui Er.

“What did they say?”

Cui Er excitedly said, “Pei Wu, who is beside His Highness the King of Qing, said that His Highness King Qing has something to tell you. He wants to the Building of Pines and Cranes tonight.”

This time, Jiang Peihuan remained silent.

However, Cui Er continued to talk excitedly.

“Speaking of which, His Highness, the King Qing, hasn’t sent anyone to deliver a message in quite some time. He must have heard about yesterday’s incident,” Cui Er said.

“Previously, His Highness did not dare to express his feelings to Miss because he was concerned about Miss’s engagement. Now that the marriage had change to your sister, he won’t have any more concerns,” she continued.

After Cui Er finished speaking, Yue Er smiled. Although others might not know about it, Yue Er and Cui Er knew very well that their young lady had a crush on the King Qing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Peihuan suddenly sneered.

“Haha, is that really the case?” she asked.

Xiao Junhao didn’t care about Zhao Fuqing.

The real reason why he felt so threatened and couldn’t wait to send someone over was probably because of the rumors about her and Xiao Nanye in the capital.

The second branch had gone to great lengths to tarnish her reputation, but she had not expected that a strange combination of factors would lead to Xiao Junhao, this big snake.

Even Xiao Junhao would be afraid that the woman he had been holding tightly in his hands would suddenly fall in love with the current King Cheng.

After all, one wrong move could lead to the loss of the entire game.

He, Xiao Junhao, couldn’t afford to lose.

“Since young lady have nothing to do today, would you like me to help you with your grooming?” Yue Er suggested, hoping to please Jiang Peihuan.

“No, thank you,” Jiang Peihuan declined without hesitation.

“Please inform the Qing Prince’s household that I fell into the water and have not fully recovered. Therefore, I cannot attend the appointment,” she instructed.

“Moreover, as His Highness the King Qing and I are unmarried, our interactions should not be misconstrued, as it could damage our reputations,” she added.

“Understood,”Cui Er replied, she seemed confused, but she didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Yue Er looked at Jiang Peihuan and could not help but ask.

” Miss, are you upset with His Highness King Qing? ”

Upset?

Jiang Peihuan smiled at the suggestion.

How could she be upset with the person who had caused the death of her entire family? All she wanted was his life!

But she didn’t want to simply kill Xiao Junhao.

he wanted to take revenge on many others as well, one by one, without leaving any behind.

..

At the same time, in the Qing King’s mansion.

After Xiao Junhao sent Pei Wu to the Jiang Masion, he had already packed up. He was dressed in a blue brocade robe that was low-key but also somewhat gorgeous.

” You mean, she refused? ”

Xiao Junhao’s face darkened when he heard the news from Pei Wu.

” Yes, Miss Jiang’s friend Cui Er said that she is still recovering and unable to leave the house.”

“She even said…Miss Jiang has yet to marry. and she’s worried that the interaction may tarnish each other’s reputations.”

Xiao Junhao’s expression became increasingly grim as he listened. In the end, he simply couldn’t sit still and stood up.

In the past, Jiang Peihuan had always been obedient to him and had never said “no.”.

But now, after only a few days of estrangement, how could she become so different?

Could the rumors be true that she had taken an interest in King Cheng?
