Chapter 2017: Chapter 2017: Loyal Guard Dog (25)
Chuzheng’s decision to divorce Changsun Hang quickly spread throughout the Imperial City.People had heard of men divorcing their wives, but never of a woman divorcing her husband. Consequently, most people were secretly criticizing Chuzheng.
On the surface, Chuzheng was still Yann Qin’s sister, and the palace hadn’t reacted to her divorce, surely this owed something to Yann Qin’s influence?
Her brother supported her; who would dare to criticize her to her face?
The divorce stirred up quite a commotion, yet Chuzheng leisurely resumed her role as the eldest daughter at the Yann Residence.
Yann Qin visited her several times, but seeing her calm demeanor, he left quietly.
"I heard Zhen Rou has been confined to the West Garden by the Third Prince."
Ying Xiang gossiped with Chuzheng about the news she heard.
The West Garden... Wasn’t that where the original owner was held? Now Zhen Rou is confined there herself—talk about karma, if I don’t end up there, you do.
"Miss, do you think the Third Prince will forgive her?" It’s natural for the Third Prince to be angry over such a big matter.
But I’m worried the Third Prince will release Zhen Rou soon.
"Do you want to know?"
Ying Xiang blinked, nodding.
"Why don’t you ask the Third Prince yourself?"
"..." That’s not funny at all.
Ying Xiang fiddled with the tea set at hand, then slowly said, "Miss, people outside are saying terrible things, even claiming you’ll never... be able to marry."
"Then I won’t marry."
"Huh?"
"I can marry someone myself."
"..."
Ying Xiang twitched at the corners of her mouth, seeing Miss Yann completely unconcerned about what people outside were saying. She had been worrying about it for a long time...
"But they’re saying such awful things." Ying Xiang was still a bit uneasy: "Why do they say such things?"
At this rate, what would happen to Miss’s reputation?
"They can say whatever they want; it doesn’t matter."
"But this concerns your reputation, Miss!"
"..." If I’m not worried, why are you? What good is a reputation?
Can it help me squander my family’s wealth or what?
It’s useless in this dimension, why bother wasting time and energy on it?
Chuzheng sent Ying Xiang away and let out a breath.
She glanced out the window and called, "Shi Yi."
Shi Yi entered through the main door.
Of course, this wasn’t the Third Prince’s Mansion, he didn’t need to be so stealthy.
"Anything you need, Miss Yann?"
Chuzheng raised an eyebrow slightly, why has the way he addressed her changed?
