Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 854 Intolerable

"I'm shameless? If I were truly shameless, I would have revealed everything back then!"

General Zhao then recounted everything in one go, "Do you think Brother Chu doesn't know? As soon as this incident occurred, we learned the whole story immediately."

This has absolutely nothing to do with Qingli. If you hadn't kept emphasizing it, none of us would have taken it to heart.

"Ziyun is proud and arrogant. He has never lost a battle in all these years. We are worried that he will become arrogant because of this, so we intentionally give him some pointers."

But what about you? What did you say?

"You keep telling him that he is a genius, and none of us can compare to him. The reason you suppress him is because you are worried that he will surpass all of us."

A doting mother often spoils her son. You know his temperament perfectly well, yet you keep adding fuel to the fire. On top of that, he finally falls for a girl, and you keep criticizing her.

Ziyun, with his temperamental nature, was determined to make a contribution and prove that none of this was a problem!

"Brother Chu already knew about this. It was I who begged him, I shamelessly used our years of brotherhood to ask him to back down and not provoke you anymore!"

I originally thought you were a reasonable and well-educated person, but you were just upset about this. I believe that if I give you more time, you will be able to figure things out.

But I never imagined that after all this time, instead of repenting, you would become even worse!

"I have no other choice now. Let's get a divorce. We can both be free and won't have to keep entangled."

General Zhao seemed to have made up his mind. He hadn't taken this step before because of their many years of friendship.

If Guan Yan could come to her senses, he wanted to take good care of her for the rest of his life. But now it was clear that things couldn't be changed. Since they had reached the point where they hated each other, there was really no need to continue.

"Take whatever you want from the manor; I won't argue with you over anything."

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Song Jingshen couldn't help but be surprised, "I didn't expect it to end up like this, with talk of divorce?"

"Actually, their relationship was just a pretense, and they had long been unable to bear it any longer. Today, Prince Gong took the initiative to sever ties, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back."

It seems that things have been chaotic at General Zhao's residence for the past two years. These two have clearly not communicated for a long time, only maintaining the facade out of consideration for their past relationship.

Looking at the situation before her, Song Ruozhen was not surprised at all. "It's a good thing that they can make a clean break sooner. Otherwise, if this continues, it will only get more and more troublesome."

Song Lin and Gu Ruyan had already arrived beside Song Ruozhen and the other person. Looking at the situation, the two of them silently watched the drama unfold, neither of them getting involved.

"I had heard before that General Zhao rarely returned to his residence, and that they almost always argued whenever he did. Now it seems that they have finally reached the point of divorce," Gu Ruyan said, shaking her head with a tsk.

Song Lin looked surprised. "Where did you hear this news? You actually know about what happened in General Zhao's inner quarters?"

"This kind of thing is no secret to us. Almost every lady has heard about it. It's just that you men don't pay much attention to this kind of thing, so you don't know about it."

Gu Ruyan waved her hand. She now had a good relationship with many ladies in the capital, so she naturally knew about these things immediately.

Sometimes, even if you don't actively want to know, you'll still hear about it.

"Originally, I didn't care about these things, but I never expected that they would involve us. Fortunately, General Zhao has now brought this up in front of so many people."

Qingli is such a tough girl. She did nothing wrong, yet the blame is placed on her.

Let's make everything clear today, so that it has nothing to do with her anymore. We can't keep carrying this kind of reputation forever.

Gu Ruyan sighed. After learning the whole story, she felt that Madam Zhao was being unreasonable.

Chu Yingmeng and Chu Qingli watched the commotion from the back. Because their identities were inappropriate, they hid in a corner and did not show themselves.

Only after seeing General Song and Madam Song arrive did Chu Yingmeng pull her older sister to hide in the back, as this was her sister's future mother-in-law!

We might be able to hear some useful information today.

"Sister, Mother was absolutely right, your future mother-in-law is truly wonderful!"

Chu Yingmeng's eyes lit up. She had been a little worried that Madam Song might only be saying she would listen to her on the surface. After all, Madam Zhao had said the same thing, treating her sister like her own daughter.

At first, they were naive enough to believe that everything she said was true, until later they realized that it was all an act and that she wasn't sincere at all.

Chu Qingli smiled as well. She had long heard that Aunt Song was a very kind person.

Back when she was in the Liu family, Aunt Song suffered a lot, but everyone who knew her said she had a good personality and didn't make things difficult for people.

The two young mistresses who married into the Song family were living very comfortably. Not to mention, their eldest sister was friends with Ruan Niantang, and she even asked her a few more questions.

After meeting her, the older sister didn't say anything else, but subtly reminded her that this was a very good family and that she shouldn't miss the opportunity no matter what.

Once you miss it, you'll definitely regret it later.

Now that he had heard what Aunt Song said with his own ears, it was clear that she didn't care about her reputation, and he was completely relieved.

However, it was only today that she realized there were so many things involved in General Zhao's accident that she had been completely unaware of.

Back then, Madam Zhao was always exceptionally warm whenever she saw her, praising her as a perfect match for General Zhao and her most satisfying daughter-in-law.

It turns out... she had always felt unworthy of General Zhao, and now, thinking about it carefully, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Fortunately, she didn't enter the Zhao family's house; otherwise, she didn't even dare to imagine what her situation would be like now...

"You want me to have everything in the manor?" Guan Yan sneered. "Fine, then everything in the manor is mine, and you'll leave with nothing!"

She didn't believe it!

This guy is really willing to give up everything for a divorce, but it's just an act. Once she opens her mouth, he'll be helpless!

Isn't it because you're convinced she won't agree to a divorce?

There's absolutely no way you'll make her bow down!

General Zhao listened to Guan Yan's words, and a deep disappointment flashed in his eyes, but it was not unexpected. He should not have had any expectations in the first place. Separating now would be a good thing for both of them.

"Alright, then it's as you say. Everything is yours, and I'll leave with nothing."

"I have only one request: you must compensate the Qiu family and the Prince Gong's family for what they owe. Otherwise, we shall part ways amicably."
