Chapter 667: Chapter 678: Listed Seven Reasons for Her

Upon realizing that Gu Youyou was a doctor, she added, "Doctor Gu, the illness you treated her for?"

Gu Youyou replied, "Yes, I prescribed the treatment, and I said it could be cured, so naturally it can be cured."

"Oh, how could you treat her illness? She deserves what she got, it’s her own doing."

Gu Youyou simply said, "She paid with silver, I cannot tarnish my own reputation."

Xie Qinyun said, "...but that’s useless, how can we keep such a woman in our family? She must be divorced."

Xie Qinyun smiled proudly as she spoke, "Out of the seven grounds for divorce, she fulfills more than half. First, she has been disobedient to parents. Ever since Auntie Du entered our household, she hasn’t given my father a single day of peace. Every time isn’t he infuriated by her? Second, she has not born children. It has been five years and not even a girl to show for. Even if she is healed, so what? Who can’t give birth? Third, because of jealousy, in the status of a concubine, she monopolized my second brother and nearly killed his legitimate wife, her own sister, that venomous woman. Fourth, for her gossip, our house has been restless for years, she should have been divorced long ago. If my second brother doesn’t divorce her, I will take these charges of divorce to the clan."

Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing were left dumbstruck, staring at her. Listing the seven grounds for divorce as a younger sister-in-law...is that really okay?

"What does your second brother think? Doesn’t he despise Miss Du the most? Why did he come here today?"

Xie Qinyun humphed, "Who knows what’s gotten into him? Probably he found out about some past injustices towards Miss Du and now feels guilty."

Xie Qinyun seemed reluctant to discuss Jin Zijin further, and as she spoke, she picked up her teacup, stood up, and walked over to the window to look down below.

A gentle and respectful knocking sounded at the door, indicating that Xiang Chun had returned.

Lin Qianqing stood up to open the door, and Xiang Chun returned accompanied by Xie Qinyun’s maid.

Xie Qinyun’s maid, Cuizhu, was carrying a plate with some fruit pastries on it.

Whereas Xiang Chun was holding a basket containing the meat she had managed to find.

There was a steamed chicken and a pig’s trotter in the basket. She looked at Gu Youyou with apprehension and asked, "Can he eat these?"

Gu Youyou replied, "Of course, hand them to me."

Attracted by the smell, Abao woke up. Gu Youyou took the basket and went with Abao behind a screen to the side, to spare the young ladies any fright.

"Eat well here and be good. The next meal won’t be until evening."

She placed the plate on the ground along with the basket, pacified Abao, and then rejoined the group of girls.

"The Princess has arrived..."

A shrill male voice from downstairs startled the chattering girls in the room.

"The Princess? How did Miss Du manage to invite her?" said Xie Qinyun.

Lin Qianqing added, "Miss Du doesn’t seem to have much of a relationship with the Princess, how could she invite her?"

Gu Youyou, however, stood up directly and went over to the window.

The Princess of Zhuzhao Country, wasn’t she the one who replaced Jin Zijin in being raised by the Emperor’s side?

Jin Zijin had always been investigating who had brought the child to him and convinced the Emperor that she was Xiao Qinqin’s offspring.

Below was a luxurious carriage, surrounded by over a dozen guards wielding swords, as well as serving palace maids.

A gorgeously dressed woman descended from the carriage, for whom a footstool had been promptly placed at the bottom.

The lady was about the same age as Jin Zijin, nearing thirty, but well maintained, appearing no older than in her twenties.
