Chapter 278 Lin Rouyu's Provocation
Qing'er still knew a few words, and the three big words "Divorce Letter" made Qing'er very happy and sad.
Jiang Xiyu was happy that she finally escaped from this cage, but she was sad that after the divorce, she might be looked down upon by many people, which was not what she wanted to see.
Jiang Xiyu smiled and tapped Qing'er on the head. "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pack your things. We're going back to the General's Mansion today."
Qing'er was also very happy, "I will go and clean it up right away."
Qing'er was halfway through her run when she thought of something and turned back to ask Jiang Xiyu, "What will happen to the leaves if we leave?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "I have already told Xu Rui that he will find a way. Let's go back to the General's Mansion first."
Qing'er nodded. Since Xu Rui had agreed to it, they didn't have to worry.
"By the way, we almost packed our things yesterday. Just let Madam Zhong and Madam Yu pack the rest. I will go back to the General's Mansion and tell the General to come and pick us up."
Qing'er said this and ran out excitedly.
Jiang Xiyu wanted to call her but it was too late.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Xiyu didn't deliberately stop it.
Forget it. When she got married, Xu Rui came to pick her up personally. Now that she wants to go back to the General's Mansion, there's nothing wrong with letting her father come to pick her up personally.
Jiang Xiyu also asked Nanny Yu and Nanny Wei to return to Gu Yunling, and they agreed without saying much.
The news of Jiang Xiyu and Xu Rui's divorce soon spread throughout the mansion. When Lin Rouyu received the news, she laughed happily.
Lin Rouyu walked into the yard and saw Jiang Xiyu carrying boxes of things from the warehouse into the yard, which made Lin Rouyu very jealous.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiyu had so much dowry, but she took it all away. Otherwise, these would have been hers in the future.
However, her mother promised her that she would prepare the same amount of dowry for her as Jiang Xiyu.
Lin Rouyu walked over and came to Jiang Xiyu, "Sister is leaving soon, I'm here to say goodbye to her."
"Miss Lin, you called me the wrong name. My parents only gave birth to me as a daughter, and no other daughters." Jiang Xiyu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, glanced at her, and said lightly.
Lin Rouyu, who had come to see Jiang Xiyu's joke, paused, but quickly calmed down. She sat across from her and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Sister Jiang to still be in the mood for tea even in this state."
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "How can I not be excited when such a happy event comes from heaven?"
"Sister Jiang, you love Brother Rui so much. Why don't I go and talk to Brother Rui and let us serve him together instead of divorcing you." Lin Rouyu said understandingly.
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows noncommittally. "No need to hear about it. I've already got the divorce papers and am packing my things. I should be able to move out of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion today. Miss Lin, you don't have to call me Sister Ning all the time. Firstly, I'm the only daughter in my family and don't have any younger sisters. Secondly, when I was the mistress of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, my husband didn't take any concubines. Miss Lin, you don't have to be so aggrieved. I don't like to be addressed as sister or younger sister."
Jiang Xiyu's rude words instantly angered Lin Rouyu. She slammed the table and said, "Jiang Xiyu, don't be so shameless. I came here with good intentions to see you off, who are you scolding me for?"
Lin Rouyu slapped the table, and the tea on the table spilled out instantly.
Nanny Yu was immediately heartbroken and quickly went to get a rag to wipe the table.
But before she could get a rag, Jiang Xiyu picked up the cup and splashed it directly on Lin Rouyu's face.
"Ah." Lin Rouyu screamed instantly from the heat, "Jiang Xiyu."
The people outside, upon hearing Lin Rouyu's scream, hurriedly tried to get into the house, but all the servants in the yard blocked the door, and they, with their small number of people and little strength, had no way of getting close to the main house.
"Jiang Xiyu, how dare you throw tea at me?" Lin Rouyu was so angry that she picked up the tea in front of her and threw it at someone.
Nanny Yu and Qing'er stepped forward together and snatched Lin Rouyu's teacup away.
Nanny Yu said coldly, "Miss Lin, if you want to throw a tantrum, don't you see where we are? As long as our Madam stays in the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion, she's still the mistress of this mansion. Miss Lin, let alone entering this mansion, even if she's the Marquis's concubine now, she still has to respect our Madam. You have no right to throw a tantrum in front of our Madam."
Being lectured by a woman who kept saying that she could only be Brother Rui's concubine, Lin Rouyu was furious. "Who do you think you are? Jiang Xiyu hasn't even said anything yet, and you have to lecture me..."
"Who do you think you are?" Jiang Xiyu scolded coldly before Lin Rouyu finished her scolding. "Even if Xu Rui stood in front of me, he wouldn't be so rude to me. Who do you think you are? You haven't even entered the Marquis' Mansion yet, and you want to show off in front of me. You are not qualified."
"You..." Lin Rouyu was once again irritated by Jiang Xiyu, but she had nothing to refute her.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at Lin Rouyu with disdain. "What do you want to do by coming to my room so early in the morning? Do you want to see me sad? I'm really sorry to disappoint you. It was my idea to divorce Xu Rui. I'm not sad at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy."
Lin Rouyu didn't believe Jiang Xiyu's words at all. "How is that possible? How could you not be sad about divorcing Brother Rui?"
She must be pretending.
Pretending to be strong, but actually, he is extremely sad.
Seeing Lin Rouyu's short-sighted look, Jiang Xiyu laughed out loud. "Do you think everyone treasures Xu Rui like you do? Why should I be sad? To me, this Yonglin Marquis Mansion is like a cage, and Xu Rui is the shackles that trapped me. Now that I can finally break the shackles and leave this cage, why can't I be happy?"
Jiang Xiyu's serious look made Lin Rouyu frown.
Could it be that she really doesn't care about Brother Rui anymore, so it doesn't matter if she divorces him?
But why did she suddenly stop caring about Brother Rui?
Jiang Xiyu walked up to Lin Rouyu and just looked at her, "Don't mess with me. If you piss me off, I can tear up the divorce letter written by Xu Rui, and you will never be the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin."
Lin Rouyu's heart suddenly panicked when she heard this, and she stared at Jiang Xiyu's eyes.
But she couldn't see through her at all.
"Get out." Jiang Xiyu shouted, and Lin Rouyu turned and left.
When they reached the door, Lin Rouyu turned around and asked Jiang Xiyu unwillingly, "Have you ever loved Brother Rui?"
Jiang Xiyu sneered disdainfully, "This question means nothing to me right now. If you really love Xu Rui, please keep a good eye on him from now on. I won't be the mistress of the Yonglin Marquisate anymore, but I'm not sure if you can become the mistress of this mansion either."
Jiang Xiyu's words were to tell Lin Rouyu that she didn't need to regard her as an enemy at all, and that it was too early for her to be complacent.
