Chapter 16: Divorce

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Jingchen was silent. He couldn’t figure out why a young lady from an official’s family couldn’t read. He had heard that most commoner women couldn’t read because they were poor.

However, Shen Pingxiu was also a government official in the capital, and had even come from a scholar’s background. How could he have raised his daughter to be so ignorant?

The room was quiet for a moment.

After a long time, she heard Song Jingchen’s low and hoarse voice. “This is the divorce agreement. I’ve asked Uncle Yang to investigate it. You married into the Song family because you had no choice. Now, not only can the Song family not protect you, but we will also drag you down. Moreover, everyone in the capital knows about the incident that happened to me on the day of the wedding. It won’t affect you much even if you wish to marry again in the future.”

Shen Yijia was shocked. She had gotten this husband, and now she was going to lose him?

“No, you can’t divorce me.” Although Song Jingchen had explained that it was for her own good, Shen Yijia was still a little angry.

If not for the fact that he was good-looking and that he was her husband, would she have wasted those three drops of spiritual liquid? Absolutely not.

Go back to the Shen family? Thinking about how the original host had lived in the past, she didn’t want to go back.

Even if she could fight and was not afraid, she couldn’t spend every day beating people up. What would be the difference between that and her previous life in the institute?

In Shen Yijia’s opinion, if she went back, the Shen family would definitely bully her just like they used to.

However, she would definitely not endure it silently like the original host did. She would definitely fight back. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to fighting three times a day?

So she refused without thinking further.

Song Jingchen was once again speechless.

Before this, he had always thought that Shen Yijia would immediately leave happily after receiving the divorce agreement.

This situation was unexpected.

Song Jingchen remained silent. Shen Yijia was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks and gritted her teeth.

Should she just knock him out?

She quickly pinched her right hand using her left hand and tried her best to control her restless heart.

Song Jingchen didn’t know if it was simply his imagination, but he suddenly felt that he was in danger.

This was an intuition that he had honed from years of training in the military. However, this girl was the only other person in this room.

“It was definitely an illusion, right?” he thought to himself.

He tried to ignore the strange feeling.

He assumed that Shen Yijia was unwilling to leave because she didn’t understand how complex the problem was.

He had no choice but to say patiently, “We have to go back to the countryside tomorrow. We can’t take anything away from the residence. There are no servants to serve us there. We can only have simple meals every day. We… might not even have enough to eat.”

“Not having enough to eat? It’s that serious?” Shen Yijia was shocked by Song Jingchen’s words. The first part wasn’t a big problem, but not having enough to eat was a little tragic…

Therefore, she no longer cared about being angry or feeling sorry for those three drops of spiritual liquid. She started to weigh the options seriously in her heart.

Song Jingchen fell silent again. “Was the problem of food really the main point here?” he thought. He realized that he couldn’t treat this girl as a regular daughter of an official’s family anymore.

Shen Yijia felt dizzy from thinking so much, but she still did not want to go back to the Shen family.

She wondered if it was the influence of the original host. She was repulsed by the idea of living in that place.

“If I insist on following you, would you lock me in the house and not let me out?” Shen Yijia asked tentatively.

Song Jingchen was once again speechless.

“Why would I want to lock her up?” he thought.

He shook his head. “No.”

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. The Shen family would definitely lock her up, but he wouldn’t! If that was the case, she could go out and earn money.

Then she asked, “Would you deliberately starve me?”

Song Jingchen’s face felt numb. “No.”

“Would you make me kneel as punishment during the winter and summer?”

Song Jingchen responded. “No!”

The scales in Shen Yijia’s heart could not tilt any further than this. She took another look at Song Jingchen’s handsome face and made her final decision. “Then I don’t want a divorce. I want you to be my husband. I’ll make money in the future, and I won’t let you starve.”
