Chapter 49 The Divorce

The unexpected appearance of Tan Yueyue contradicting what Chu Qing said humiliated her. Feng Gui's face was full of fear and panic as he stood trembling.

"Yun'er, this is not what it appears, I can explain. My parents forced me to take her as my concubine to have a baby. I only slept with her the once, and I don't like her at all. I love you, my dear Yun'er. Please, you must trust me."

Tan Yueyue stood still with the baby in her arms overwhelmed and saddened by what she heard. Yun Canglan walked up to her, took her to sit down and delighted the baby.

"What a lovely baby." Yun Canglan complimented, looking back at Feng Gui smiling, with just a trace of coldness in her eyes. "You shouldn't say such mean things. She has given your family a baby, and what you have said will make her sad."

Feng Tian and Chu Qing were relieved at Yun Canglan's reaction, but Feng Gui felt uneasy. They had been alienated, and she was a stranger to him.

"Father, mother, Yueyue just delivered the baby, and needs to be taken care of, so I have arranged for her to live in Gui's house without telling you in advance. Please forgive me."

Chu Qing finally smiled. "Good. I hadn't expected you capable of accepting Yueyue. You are a virtuous wife."

Tan Yueyue who was feeling awkward smiled too, and she looked around timidly, before gazing down at the baby in her arms.

Feng Gui sulked. He wasn't sure why Yun Canglan was being so gracious to Tan Yueyue, and that troubled him.

"I'd be flattered, if you don't mind, Gui, please sign this." Yun Qin presented a piece of paper, while Yun Qi held the brush and ink in his hands.

Feng Gui looked over the paper confused; when he finished reading it through, he was breathless.

"This letter is to attest to the divorce of Feng Gui from Feng Yun'er, for reason set forth below. After two years of marriage, Feng Yun'er, the daughter-in-law of the Feng's family, has failed to have a baby."

Feng Gui looked heart broken when he turned to Yun Canglan, "Yun'er, what, what does this mean?"

"Do you remember what you promised me before we were married?" Yun Canglan was no longer the virtuous ten

peror of the Si Kingdom betrothed his seventh son to Xi Yun.

Feng Gui looked stunned. Yun'er wouldn't agree to marry him at first because she was engaged, but he loved her so dearly that he persisted on her agreeing to marry him. 'Was this man her fiance?' Feng Gui wondered.

However, Feng Tian and Chu Qing didn't know any of this. Feng Tian banged the table cursing, "How dare you, an outsider, interfere in our private business! Feng Yun'er, what is going on?" He demanded.

Yun Canglan said coldly, "He is telling the truth. He is my fiance, and Feng Gui knew this when he proposed to me."

Yun'er spoke up. Since she presented the divorce letter, she was no longer his wife and no longer willing to smile and take his mother's abuse.

"What, you were engaged? Why did you marry my son? What do you want? Guards, arrest this shameful bitch!"

More than a dozen guards rushed into the main hall swords drawn, to arrest the woman in white with the poker face.

Yun Canglan stood still as if this were none of her concern. Lei Tianyan frowned, blocking the guards from Yun Canglan, and Yun Qin and Yun Qi were prepared to fight their way out.

Before the guards were near enough, a glaring light flashed, and the guards' swords splintered in half. Their weapons shattered, the troops froze terrified about what happened. Enshrouded in black clothing, Shui Minghan, stood guarding Yun Canglan's front next to Lei Tianyan.
