Divorce

"Madame is truly eloquent; I have never heard someone claim that love can be borrowed. The owner of this estate owes Su Zimo, not your Su Mansion," Su Zimo's voice carried a deep coldness as she stared sharply at Xie Lengchan. This woman, who harbored the most malicious intentions, had not given up on the idea of marrying her sister off to General Wang in order to gain power. She wanted to use her sister's marriage to secure her own position and force Jun Lintian to marry Su Ziyun. But Su Zimo was determined to put an end to that notion. She knew that Jun Lintian and she would never be a match.

Xie Lengchan's face instantly turned difficult to look at. She had thought that she could put this woman in her place by confronting her directly, but she had underestimated Su Zimo's resilience.

"Is the retribution mentioned by the owner merely a game to repay Si Yunyun?" Su Ziyun couldn't contain herself any longer. She scoffed at the idea that a mundane and money-driven businessman like Xie Lengchan dared to assert herself in their presence.

"The object of retribution is not you, so why are you so agitated?" Su Zimo replied with a proud smile, her eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred as she stared at Su Ziyun's green face. She was in a good mood, relishing the moment, before turning her gaze sharply towards Jun Lintian.

"Third Prince, let me advise you that if you try to manipulate someone to achieve your own goals, you are only seeking short-sightedness," Su Zimo's tone was filled with arrogance, her expression icy and chilling. Jun Lintian understood exactly what she was implying.

Jun Lintian realized that Su Zimo truly despised him. But was it because of him alone, or was it because of his connection with Su Zimo? As a man and a high-ranking prince, how could he marry a worthless princess? Yes, he had considered the idea of having Su Zinian marry Wang Jiao and himself marrying Su Ziyun. It would give him an advantage on both sides. Now that the Prince's power was growing stronger, he needed to bolster his own strength to compete. Su Zimo had seen through his intentions, indicating that she truly wanted revenge.

"Do you know too much, owner?" Jun Lintian's tone turned cold, mixed with a veiled threat. Being exposed so thoroughly by this woman made him feel as if he were standing naked in front of everyone.

"Not too much, but you should know," Su Zimo replied with a light smile, not hiding the hatred in her eyes.

Jun Lintian's eyes flickered with a glimmer of doubt. Was Su Zimo really worth her grudge against the Three Kings Mansion and the Su family?

"How dare you! Do you even know who Wang Ye is? How dare you speak disrespectfully?" Su Weichen stood up, raised his voice, and accused Su Zimo. Some cloudiness filled his eyes as he glared angrily at Su Zimo. This woman had no regard for the Third Prince's reputation.

"Madame Su, please calm down. In some matters, maintaining appearances is more important than personal desires. The Third Prince publicly withdrew from the marriage, claiming that he intended to marry your other daughter. Yet you pretended not to hear or speak about it, tacitly agreeing to the matter. By doing so, you brought disgrace upon yourself and sacrificed your daughter's future. And now you don't even want to let go of another daughter and son? It's truly heartless," Su Zimo's voice echoed coldly through the side hall, and deep-seated hatred flickered in her eyes like shining gems.

Her words sent shockwaves through everyone's hearts.

"Mingyue Zhuang Master, please refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Su family. Hand over Su Zinian and Su Qingjue," Su Ziyun's eyes widened in anger. Her gentle facade had disappeared, revealing her proud and arrogant nature. She couldn't bear it when her sore spot was touched. She had always endured the world's strange gazes for Jun Lintian. But after six years, he still refused to marry her. It wasn't the Emperor's side that posed the biggest obstacle; it was his own heart.

Seeing Su Ziyun's expression, Jun Lintian furrowed his brows, understanding the scheme that Bright Moon Villa was playing.

"Yun'er, don't overthink it. She wants to drive a wedge between us. Can't you see that? Rest assured, I will enter the palace as soon as possible to seek my father's approval and marry you. Jun Lintian was anxious to appease Su Ziyun and cast a cold glance at Su Zimo. This woman was always poking at the right spot; it seemed impossible to keep her at bay.

Observing Jun Lintian's eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent, Su Zimo calmly looked on. This was exactly the reaction she had hoped for.

"Everyone, please excuse me! There is nothing here that concerns you," Su Zimo stood up indifferently and left, her proud demeanor and imposing presence daring anyone to stop her.

"Yun'er, let's go back. Don't worry, I will marry you as soon as possible," Jun Lintian disregarded everything else and walked to Su Ziyun's side, offering her soothing words. Su Ziyun had been by his side for six years, so he would also grant her a proper status.

"As long as Wang Ye says so, Yun'er will feel at ease. Can't you see that the Lord of Bright Moon Estate is trying to provoke a rift between us? She clearly knows her purpose, yet Yun'er still fell into her trap?" Su Ziyun looked tenderly, with no hint of reproach on her face. She didn't desire much; becoming a concubine in the Three Kings Mansion would already satisfy her. She had left her home and endured countless hardships to reach this point. Only she knew the difficulties she had faced on this journey.

"King Ben knows that Yun'er understands best. Let's go back," Jun Lintian nodded.

Su Li had witnessed everything and, seeing them all leave, turned around and walked back to her room.
