After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 108 Deciding on Divorce

But speaking of which, since that thing in the previous life eventually fell into the hands of Prince Jing, was the massacre of the Jiang family also the work of Prince Jing?

This conjecture made Xie Yunqi's heart skip a beat. If it was true, then he could understand why Prince Jing chose to submit to the Xie family under the guise of his half-brother. It turned out that he wanted to get close to Jiang Yuyue so that he could get information about the treasure from her.

This made Xie Yunqi tremble slightly. His sister-in-law, Jiang Yuyue, had always treated him well, but he had gone so far as to wipe out the entire Jiang family for something like this. It was truly terrifying.

Jiang Yuyue was also pondering Xie Yunqi's words. Judging from his expression, she knew that he was eager to get his hands on the item, which was what the so-called "Princess Huajin" wanted.

Anything that catches the eye of royalty must be something extraordinary. Could it be... could it be that this treasure is the catalyst for the Jiang family's tragic annihilation?

If that were true, Jiang Yuyue felt much more at ease. Given Xie Yunqi's current attitude, he probably wouldn't easily lay a hand on her before getting the item. However, this didn't mean she had a get-out-of-jail-free card.

After all, given how things unfolded, regardless of whether Jiang Yuyue agreed to the divorce or handed over the item, Xie Yunqi would still kill her without hesitation. The item could only delay things for a while.

After all, in her previous life, Jiang Yuyue also readily agreed to the divorce, only requesting that she take all of his belongings back with her. Logically, this should have fulfilled Xie Yunqi's wish, but Xie Yunqi still did not hesitate to put her to death.

Jiang Yuyue is now deliberately acting hesitant, using delaying tactics. Her feigned reluctance to part with him is also to dispel Xie Yunqi's doubts. However, Xie Yunqi seems eager to ask her for the treasure without much suspicion.

Jiang Yuyue subtly curled her lips, knowing that she had temporarily gotten away with it.

At that moment, Jixiang, who was next door, was peeking out through the crack in the door from time to time, trying to find out what Jiang Yuyue and Xie Yunqi were doing over there. However, without his lord's orders, he dared not be too blatant.

"Your Highness, shall I go over and listen to what they're saying next door?"

In the end, Jixiang couldn't resist trying and asked the probing question.

"Don't do what you shouldn't do."

In response, he was met with Xie Jinglan's cold, piercing gaze. The chill emanating from Xie Jinglan made Jixiang dare not ask any more questions, and he could only stand silently to the side.

It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are!

Meanwhile, Xie Yunqi had been at an impasse with Jiang Yuyue for a long time without getting a definite answer, which made him lose patience.

"You'd better come up with a decision about our divorce as soon as possible."

Xie Yunqi's words were all aimed at putting pressure on Jiang Yuyue: "Although I came here alone today, Princess Huajin has already arrived in Jinling City and can come to our Xie family at any time. If this matter is delayed and not resolved, it may be difficult to extricate ourselves once we anger the princess."

"Ok."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue finally gave in, feigning reluctance, "Since that's the case, it seems that we two are indeed not destined to be together in this life. For the sake of peace for both our families, I have no choice but to agree to the divorce."

Jiang Yuyue looked sorrowful. "Although we haven't been married long, I've still been kind to the Xie family during my time here. As for that thing you mentioned, I'll ask my father about it in a few days. If it's really from our Jiang family, I'll definitely give it to you."

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue had finally relented, Xie Yunqi's tense expression relaxed. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Jiang Yuyue was indeed easy to manipulate. To show his reluctance, he pulled Jiang Yuyue into his arms again and gently patted her back, "Yuyue, if there is a next life... I will definitely treat you well."

Next life?

A hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Yuyue's eyes. Her interactions with Xie Yunqi in this life were enough to make her nauseous, and he actually dared to dream about the next life.

Today, in order to put on an act, Jiang Yuyue and Xie Yunqi had quite a bit of close contact, but she felt a deep-seated aversion to this kind of scoundrel.

Seeing that they had almost finished discussing everything, and Xie Yunqi was still clinging to her and showing no sign of leaving, Jiang Yuyue had a sudden inspiration and immediately came up with an idea.

"But there's one more thing I'd like to ask you to do."

Jiang Yuyue looked up at him, her bright, beautiful eyes filled with a hint of shyness. "They say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Although I announced my pregnancy to please my elders, the news still got out."

"Although we're getting a divorce, everyone outside knows I'm pregnant. If I don't have a child in a few months, I don't know what people will say. How about we make it a fait accompli today? You... give me a child, how about that?"

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue made a move to unbutton Xie Yunqi's clothes, but unexpectedly he jumped up like a startled bird and stood aside, putting distance between himself and Jiang Yuyue.

"Yun Qi?"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he still hadn't found a way to cure his manhood. But it also made Jiang Yuyue even more curious about how Song Jinwan got the child in her belly.

"This...this is probably not appropriate."

Xie Yunqi then realized that his reaction had been a bit too much, and quickly said seriously, "Yue'er, I know your feelings for me, but since we have decided to divorce, I can't do this kind of thing anymore. If I really have a child, wouldn't that affect your ability to find a good husband in the future? How can I do such a thing?"

If Jiang Yuyue didn't know that he was impotent, she might have been moved by his words. After all, there aren't many gentlemen who can remain unmoved by temptation these days. Unfortunately, Xie Yunqi wasn't a gentleman; he was simply powerless to do so.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Yuyue felt a surge of satisfaction, and continued to feign indifference, saying, "But I don't care about any of that, I just want to have a child with you..."

"Alright, don't bring this up again."

Xie Yunqi was afraid that Jiang Yuyue would discover his flaw, so he said in a stiff tone, "It's getting late today, and it's not appropriate for me to stay here and bother you any longer. You should get some rest, and I'll come to see you again in a few days."

After saying this, Xie Yunqi pushed open the door and fled in panic, while Jiang Yuyue, wanting to play her part, quickly stood up and gazed at his back with affection, as if she were truly a devoted woman.

Unfortunately, this glaring scene was witnessed by Xie Jinglan, who was standing outside the courtyard getting some fresh air.
