Chapter 567: Chapter 577: Let’s Get Divorced

The servant said softly, "This courtyard has always been neglected, with no one to maintain it, so naturally, it has fallen into this state." However, he didn’t say that, instead he replied, "I’ve heard that the young... Miss Du doesn’t fancy outsiders entering her courtyard."

"Oh..." Jie Erye understood and let out a cold snort.

Indeed, Aqing had mentioned that the woman didn’t like others entering her courtyard.

Alright, then let it be.

Passing through the dilapidated corridor and Shuixie, Jie Erye finally arrived at the main hall of this deserted courtyard.

Miss Du, wearing a thin garment, sat upright in the main hall, seemingly waiting for someone.

Indeed, she was waiting for him. The woman had everything figured out and naturally knew he would come tonight, so she deliberately sat there waiting.

"Erye, Xintong is ill, so I won’t get up to greet you properly, please forgive me."

She was indeed sick, sick to the point where she couldn’t leave her bed. Secondly, ever since he had come to loathe her completely, she felt there was no need to humble herself before him anymore, because being right or wrong in his eyes always turned out to be wrong.

Jie Erye scrutinized the sitting woman. A dim oil lamp sat beside her, her hair done in a simple style, and her expression was as flat as still water.

Yes, that was just like her. She used to be domineering, but since she had moved into this courtyard, the times he had seen her could be counted on one hand, and each time he had seen her, she looked just like this.

His father felt sorry for her when he saw her like this, saying her heart had died, and that it was their fault for making her this way.

But he felt that this woman was always good at putting on an act. If she didn’t harbor resentment, then why would she be so impolite? If she truly didn’t care about anything, then how did she know he would come tonight?

At this thought, a surge of anger welled up in him.

"All of you leave. I have some words to speak with her alone."

Cuiya, seeing her mistress stubbornly getting out of bed with difficulty, was reluctant to leave, but was pulled away by the servant Jie Erye had brought.

Only the two of them remained in the room, with a dying oil lamp.

A moment later, Jie Erye’s angry voice filled the room, startling the flickering flame: "Hmph... Drop that pretentious facade. I’m here to warn you not to try acting pitiful in front of my family, not to try to drive a wedge between my relatives. You think you’re pitiful, but have you ever considered who caused all this?

Before you made the decision to marry into the Jie Family, I warned you. It was your own foolish fantasy, thinking that holding the title of my principal wife, you could do whatever you wanted?

Do you see now? Aside from the name of principal wife, you’ve gained nothing. I will not let you enjoy that glory, so you might as well abandon any delusions of going out and seeing other people."

Miss Du’s brow twitched, and she suddenly asked, "So, was it your idea to lock the door?"

"My idea?" Jie Erye said indifferently, "Yes, it was my idea."

Since it was Aqing who had the door locked, what did it matter whether it was my idea or not.

Miss Du gave a wry smile. "So, your visit tonight was just to warn me how much you despise me. You really didn’t have to, because I’ve always known."

"It’s best that you know," Jie Erye felt a stifled feeling for some reason.

Miss Du breathed a sigh of relief, recalling what Gu Youyou had said to her today. She said, "If that’s the case, why don’t we divorce? I will speak to the Jie family head about it tomorrow."

In front of him, she didn’t call the Jie family head ’father,’ otherwise, he would argue with her again and throw sarcastic remarks. It didn’t matter to him what she called him, so why should she bother about such formalities?
