Chapter 157: Third Master Feng?
In the end, Zheng Zhi took a deep breath, while her gaze firmed up.
“Daoist Master Yanchu, you saved my life. I shouldn’t trouble you further... but right now, I truly can’t go on like this. I want to divorce Sun Ping.”
Though gentle and virtuous by nature, Zheng Zhi was clearly a woman who had her own opinions.
Li Yanchu smiled faintly. “Congratulations, you’re out of the sea of suffering.”
His earlier words had actually been somewhat leading.
While it’s often said it’s better to ruin ten temples than destroy one marriage, Li Yanchu had no respect for men who could gamble away even their wives. That crossed every line.
Of course, if Zheng Zhi still held hope for Sun Ping, he wouldn’t have said more. Everyone had their fate; who knows, perhaps the couple was secretly deeply in love.
“Kindness of heart can ruin your life,” Li Yanchu said. “Don’t come to your senses now, only to get confused again later. I’ll give you a sum of silver to help with the divorce. You deserve a man who will truly cherish you. Once this is over, don’t cling to false hope and repeat your mistake.”
For some reason, when Li Yanchu looked at this woman named Zheng Zhi, she felt familiar. He had once known a friend who had shown mercy again and again, only to meet a tragic end.
“I will follow your guidance, sir,” Zheng Zhi replied softly.
After that, the rest was simple.
Li Yanchu didn’t go directly to that gambling den owner, Third Master Feng.
