Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Putting Down the Pen, Ending the Book

Wa Chengnan, upon seeing a stranger speak, had a gloomy expression and glanced sideways.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, please don’t meddle in others’ affairs."

Yan Wanqing, shaking the folding fan in her hand, contrary to his expectation, walked straight in. She first waved to let the girl shivering in the corner leave, and then calmly looked at Wa Chengnan and said, "What if I insist on meddling?"

She looked at Li Chengxiang, who was holding his abdomen in pain, bent over, his pallid face twisted in agony.

"You look like a gentleman but have the heart of a brute. Why would you hit a woman?" Yan Wanqing’s eyes were filled with a cold light when she spoke.

Wa Chengnan’s hands unconsciously curled up: "It wasn’t intentional, and besides, she is my wife. What does the matter between my wife and me have to do with an outsider like you?! Just leave!"

"Wife?" Yan Wanqing chuckled lightly, "You say she’s your wife and she becomes your wife? Fireworks Lane is full of fleeting lovers. A day as husband and wife, if she truly is your wife, that would indeed be strange. It’s my first time hearing about someone bringing their wife to a brothel."

"You!" Wa Chengnan’s face darkened. He had never met such an obstinate person; most would have left after saying a few words. Who would stand in the house with such a thick face, arguing with him?

Either this person is a wealthy idler with too much time or someone who knows Li Chengxiang.

At this point, Li Chengxiang in agony recognized Yan Wanqing as the distinguished guest from private room one and reached out to her: "Save, save..."

Seeing this, Wa Chengnan let out a cold laugh in anger, "Now it makes sense who would meddle this much; turns out, it’s your adulterous lover!"

"Watch your words!" exclaimed Yan Wanqing, "You cannot slander my reputation without cause."

"Could there be any doubt?!" Wa Chengnan looked at Li Chengxiang and sneered, "You divorced me to have him step in, is that it?"

He thought Yan Wanqing’s slim figure was just the type Li Chengxiang would like and spoke without filtering his words.

Li Chengxiang, holding her breath in defiance, said, "Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking!"

She was in pain, trembling in her guts, but at that moment, she refused to lose!

Seeing Li Chengxiang in distress, Yan Wanqing immediately went over to her, bypassed Wa Chengnan without a word, and bent down to pick her up.

Watching Li Chengxiang instinctively cling to Yan Wanqing’s neck, Wa Chengnan was furious: "Adulterer and whore!"

"It’s funny, you’re the dirty one, yet you throw filth on others," Yan Wanqing retorted coldly. "They say the Crown Prince is known for his integrity and meritocracy. How come he has someone as vile as you around him?"

In her previous life, she had only heard about Wa Chengnan having a deceased wife and never remarrying.

She had thought he was a man of deep affection, never expecting him to be so promiscuous.

Indeed, one shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.

It figures, a man capable of rivalling her must naturally have profound schemes.

It appears that in her previous life, Li Chengxiang had suffered from this sort of misunderstanding and died wrongly.

Recalling some rumors from her previous life and correlating them with the present, Yan Wanqing felt nothing but disgust for Wa Chengnan.

To Wa Chengnan’s surprise, this obscure person seemed to know he served in front of the Crown Prince, and he slightly furrowed his brow: "Who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is none of your concern," Yan Wanqing looked at him challengingly. "Just remember to mind your manners in the future."

Wa Chengnan, thrown into confusion, started strategizing in his mind.

The person in front of him recognized him, probably knew quite a bit about the Crown Prince’s people, and given the rumors that the Prince’s people would be coming to bid for the Oiran today, he came to check things out. Indeed, the Oiran was taken by a mysterious person, which confirmed his previous conjecture. Could this person be one of the Prince’s aides?

Seeing his changing expressions, Yan Wanqing said impatiently, "Move aside."

"You’re holding my wife, where do you expect me to go?!" Wa Chengnan was certainly not going to oblige.

He needed to ascertain the identity of the person in front of him, to see if this was a spy sent from the Prince’s side!

Yan Wanqing listened to the gradually weakening breath of the person in her arms and immediately hardened her expression, "The longer you linger here with me, the more your wife suffers. If you have any human heart left, you should feel for her!"

Wa Chengnan stood there stunned upon hearing this, and Yan Wanqing, without any courtesies, forcefully bumped him with her shoulder, sending him to the side.

What a joke, since she had been cured of the Thousand Mechanisms Poison, she had recovered five or six tenths of her former strength. A weakling like Wa Chengnan, she hardly regarded him as a threat. As expected, after she bumped into him, Wa Chengnan spun around on the spot and then fell heavily to the ground, striking his forehead and scraping a wound at the center of his brows, the pain made him draw sharp breaths.

Yan Wanqing did not look back as she carried Li Chengxiang away.

Scum, he deserved it!

When Li Chengxiang regained consciousness, he found Mama Tan sitting beside him.

Seeing her awake, Mama Tan propped a pillow behind her and asked softly, "Are you thirsty?"

Li Chengxiang nodded, and Mama Tan handed her the tea.

Li Chengxiang drank an entire pot of water before she started to feel revived. Feeling the bandages wrapped around her waist and abdomen, her gaze wandered around the room, "Who saved me?"

Mama Tan knew she was asking about Yan Wanqing, so she said, "She left."

"Left? Where did she go?" Li Chengxiang said as she tried to get out of bed, she had yet to thank her savior.

Mama Tan quickly pressed her back down onto the cot, "You know very well what happened today in the number one private room. The one who saved you is either rich or noble. Seeing that you’re a grateful child, I would suggest you stay in Fireworks Lane and earn some more money as a way of repaying her."

Li Chengxiang shook her head, "I cannot agree, Mama Tan."

"Why not?"

Li Chengxiang was frustrated, "Mama Tan doesn’t know, but I am actually the daughter of the Li Family. Falling into the river was my own doing after much suffering. Now that my heart is unburdened, I wish to return home to settle some matters."

Mama Tan, having heard the whole story from Yan Wanqing, felt a bit of sympathy for the girl.

But only a bit.

"Staying in the pleasure district for too long, everyone coming from the south and going to the north claims they have their reasons. You want to leave, I won’t hold you back, but these days you’ve spent here have cost quite a bit of silver..."

"Don’t worry, Mama Tan. You can send someone to escort me home. Just name the amount, and I’ll have someone bring it back to you," Li Chengxiang quickly understood Mama Tan’s implications.

Mama Tan no longer hesitated, "Alright, you rest for now. The doctor said you cannot move right now. The wounds on your waist and abdomen need proper care, or they might affect your ability to bear children later on."

After finishing her words, she left the room with dignity.

The room was left with only Li Chengxiang.

She sat on the bed in a daze for a while, the tears unable to stop flowing from her eyes. After an unknown period, she bit her lip, threw off the blankets, and, enduring the pain, got off the bed and walked to the desk.

She slowly ground the ink.

She spread out a sheet of paper on the desk.

Li Chengxiang’s eyes were bloodshot, her expression extremely stubborn.

The marriage certificate was written by her personally in the past.

The divorce letter now, she also intended to write it out carefully and clearly, word by word.

Li Chengxiang had earned her money cleanly in this lifetime, from now on, she intended to live cleanly. She wanted nothing to do with anyone who dared to tarnish her and the Li Family’s reputation.

"...Those who abandon me, whether in the past or today, cannot be retained..."

She wrote two bold characters: Divorce Letter.

Wa Chengnan, you will not leech off me anymore!
