The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 303 - 302: Applying for Divorce

Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Applying for Divorce

Si Chen helped soothe the Empress, "Alright, let the children resolve this matter themselves. Besides, haven’t you already decided to make her your goddaughter? Don’t you want to see Yuting’s reaction when he finds out he has a new sister?"

There was even a hint of schadenfreude in Si Chen’s eyes.

He didn’t mind the royal family having an additional princess, but he wondered if Yuting’s face would turn black when the time came.

The eyes of the Empress flickered like a fox’s, and she too began to look forward to it.

"This time, thanks to Tongtong during Yuting’s Mental Outburst, when it comes time to divide the property, we’ll give her Stia Manor, the biggest and closest to the Imperial Palace. We’ll also organize a grand coronation ceremony for her and have Yuting personally crown Tongtong," said the Empress.

With that thought, the Empress’s mood improved significantly.

She did not hold back at all when it came to teasing her son.

After all, why did he dismiss his perfectly good wife, and right after Tongtong saved him, he started causing trouble again?

In the heart of the Empress, even if Tongtong had just gone in to talk to Yuting, it was all thanks to Tongtong.

He even remembered not to hurt Tongtong during his Mental Outburst; who knows what got into him to bring up divorce again.

Just after Qu Tong hung up the call from the Empress, she received a call from Wen You.

"Tongtong, I need to ask you something," Wen You asked in a hushed voice.

"What’s with your voice? Why does it sound like you’re hiding something?" Qu Tong asked curiously.

Wen You might have realized her tone was off, so she coughed dryly and asked in her normal voice:

"There’s nothing wrong with my voice, but let me ask you something important first."

Qu Tong said nothing, waiting for Wen You to continue.

"If, I mean if!" Wen You emphasized, "you accidentally slept with someone unexpected, what would you do?"

Qu Tong expressionlessly replied, "I would do the same as you, asking around."

Wen You: "..."

Silence, dead silence.

After a while, Qu Tong laughed out loud, "So, is this how you ended up breaking Cheng Feng’s leg?"

"You still dare to laugh!" Wen You couldn’t hold it in any longer, not hiding her feelings, she yelled into the Light Brain, "It’s all because I was trying to accompany you, my first time getting drunk, who knew this would happen! What do I do now?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, "He was willing, what are you afraid of?"

Suddenly, she remembered the time Cheng Feng had asked her for advice, things sure moved quickly.

"Are you suggesting I just walk away without any responsibility? Isn’t that what a jerk would do?"

"You could take responsibility." Qu Tong replied.

"But..." Wen You was very conflicted.

Qu Tong shook her head, sighing, "We should stop drinking in the future; it causes too many problems."

"Next time you call me... never mind, I have to go," Wen You abruptly hung up the call.

Qu Tong looked at the Light Brain and smiled.

There were many people who cared about her on the Light Brain, but she didn’t really feel like responding right now.

She scrolled down to a contact without a red dot and sent a message.

Then she exited the screen, found her marital status section, and applied for a divorce.

If he doesn’t want me, I’m certainly not getting on my knees.

She also applied for the division of property while she was at it, no reason to leave it if it is free. She wouldn’t feel heartache for Si Yuting.

Then Qu Tong went to find Rong Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing also learned about the situation on the Star Network and comforted her with reddened eyes, looking even more heartbroken than Qu Tong, the person directly involved.

Qu Tong awkwardly yet courteously changed the subject, asking about their plans to return to the country.

"We can leave now if Miss Ali wants to come back with us," Rong Chengjue suddenly appeared at the door, his timing unexpected.

Rong Yueqing and Qu Tong turned around.

"Brother, you..."

Rong Yueqing’s words were interrupted by Rong Chengjue.

"Why don’t you go upstairs and play for a while, and I’ll speak with Miss Ali for a moment?"

Rong Yueqing looked at Qu Tong and then at Rong Chengjue, and, finding nothing unusual in his brother’s demeanor, reluctantly returned to his room, glancing back three times with each step.

Qu Tong slightly raised her eyebrows, her expression indifferent as she watched Rong Chengjue.

Rong Chengjue walked over slowly and sat down across from Qu Tong, calmly starting, "I heard that you are getting divorced from Si Yuting?"

"Yes." Qu Tong didn’t deny it.

"If you are willing, I can make you the Empress of the Kasa Empire." Rong Chengjue did not hide his ambition, his words and demeanor both clearly showing his resolve to seize the highest power.

Qu Tong met Rong Chengjue’s aggressive gaze and smiled faintly, "You’re sacrificing too much just for power."

Rong Chengjue was stunned for a moment, silently regarded Qu Tong for a while, then slowly curved his lips, "Then, Miss Ali, would you consider this proposition? What I offer is no less than what Si Yuting does."

Since she viewed this as a transaction, he followed her perspective in the negotiation.

The process wasn’t important, as long as the outcome was the same.

And it wasn’t hard to guess that their ability to speak amicably now might not last.

"I won’t consider it."

The expected response came without hesitation, just like the previous times.

Rong Chengjue flicked his golden hair off his neck, revealing a red birthmark, his long lashes concealing the dark greed in his eyes.

"Whenever you come around, you can find me at any time. Rong Yueqing also really hopes you’ll agree."

Without giving Qu Tong a chance to respond, Rong Chengjue got up and went upstairs.

Qu Tong picked up the milk tea that Yueqing had made for her and took a sip.

It was apparent that Rong Chengjue really wanted to win her over; every time she rejected him, he left the offer for her to change her mind and find him at any moment.

Once Old Man Yuan’s elixir was ready, and there was time to prepare the Spirit Power Potion, she might consider deepening their cooperation.

Qu Tong didn’t stay at Rong Yueqing’s place much longer and soon left.

Si Yuting was in a meeting when a divorce application suddenly popped up on his screen, causing his heart to skip a beat, and his hand clutching the pen unconsciously tightened.

"Grand Marshal?" A councilor sitting nearby noticed the change in Si Yuting’s emotions and voiced his confusion.

The others also turned their heads.

"It’s nothing." Si Yuting dismissed the message and resumed his usual stern demeanor.

The atmosphere around the Grand Marshal visibly dropped, creating a noticeable decrease in pressure.

The people closest to him even broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

The reporter continued tremblingly, summarizing as clearly and concisely as possible under Si Yuting’s cold gaze.

After a tense meeting concluded, Si Yuting didn’t stay long and left with quick steps.

"The Grand Marshal’s face looked so cold today!" said a councilor after Si Yuting had walked away.

The dean’s assistant passed by, "When is the Grand Marshal’s face not cold? There’s been no progress with the Bug Emperor; in a couple of days, his face might even get colder."

"Is that so? I felt like the Grand Marshal kept looking at his Light Brain from time to time," the councilor scratched his head, packed his documents, and left the meeting room with the others.

When Si Yuting returned to Yuelan Bay, he found the room completely empty.

"Uncle Chi, where is my wife?"

"The lady said she was going out to meet a friend," Butler Chi peered from downstairs.

Si Yuting frowned.

Meeting a friend? Would she take everything in the room with her?

The big white goose on the bed, the snow fox fur on the floor, the cartoon slippers at the door... all were gone.

Si Yuting tried to contact Qu Tong, but discovered he was blocked.

Si Yuting froze by the door, his heartbeat pounding erratically in his ears, in turmoil.
