Chapter 83 The Divorced Woman

  His words were powerful and even a bit intimidating, and the overbearing aura that he had been suppressing was suddenly bursting out. Not only did Zhao Xi and his wife look stunned, but even Shen Han was shocked, she turned her head to look at the man beside her, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar yet strangely familiar in this moment.

  She had always known that Mu Siyao was not as gentle as she appeared on the surface, and she must have her own means and courage. Otherwise, how could she sit in this very embarrassing position of the crown prince's servant? However, being mentally prepared was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes was another matter altogether.

  "You mean... you're going to use your power to suppress us?"

  Su Yu was already unable to stand up and retort after being topped by Mu Siyao's words, her face looked extremely ugly, but she still couldn't swallow this breath, and could only use her elbow to nudge Zhao Xihui, who then hesitantly spoke out, even if they forced their voices out, it was clear that they had lost the initial momentum.

  "What power? What power do I have? My official position is still lower than Lord Zhao's"

  Mu Si Yao smiled somewhat wickedly, but what he said was indeed the truth. His official position was not as high as Zhao Xi Qiao's, and Zhao Xi Qiao still had the qualifications to attend court. He was just an idle person, but he happened to be one of those idle people that they couldn't afford to offend. What can you do about it?

  "You... what was your name again?"

  Su Yu was initially stunned by Mu Siyao's words and didn't come to her senses for a while. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, there seemed to be something off about those words. After some deliberation, she finally figured out that he... probably... really did say that his name was Mu Siyao.

  "It's just an inferior person like me, what instructions does Miss Su have?"

  Seeing the other party's question, Mu Siyao knew that she must have come back to her senses. Not only did she not conceal her own identity, but she also continued to speak sarcastically, making Su Yu's face turn red and white again, looking very beautiful.

  Shen Han really didn't understand, Mu Siyao seemed to be not very confrontational towards Zhao Xikuan, but instead, after Su Yu spoke up, he started to change his tone, could it be that he found out some unknown inside information and then changed his attitude? Is Zhao Xikuan actually a henpecked husband?

  "Hehe... Who doesn't know Mu Siyao, the famous person beside the crown prince? Where do you dare to order her around? I just didn't expect that sister of mine would actually know someone with such a high status."

  Su Yuxin knew that this was the only way to do it, even if she was really dissatisfied with Mu Siyao's sarcastic words, she could only endure it. She turned her head and put on a smiling face towards Shen Han, saying the second half of the sentence, whether there were any other meanings in the words, depended on individual perspectives.

  "Do I need to report to you about whoever I know? Or should everyone let you know?"

  She didn't have any particular dislike for her, and Shen Huan had always kept silent to let Mu Siyao take the lead. But after she found out about Mu Siyao's identity, she didn't dare to make a move but instead turned her sharp tongue towards herself. Shen Huan was naturally unhappy and also learned from Mu Siyao's example, being sarcastic to the point of being unbearable.

  "How was it? Was she on holiday today or were you?"

  Mu Siyao didn't bother to continue the nonsense with them, and instead turned her gaze towards Zhao Xihui. He seemed to still be in a daze, probably also unable to think of how Shen Huan had brought home the man who was the son of the current Taishang Emperor's first wife, Mu Baiyu, and Mu Siyao, the servant who grew up with the Crown Prince since childhood.

  At this moment, hearing his words, Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but feel a little weak: "This matter... let's just have my mother take charge"

  Now that things have come to this, he knows it's not easy to get a divorce. If he divorces Shen Huan, Mu Siyao will lose face, but if Shen Huan divorces him, how can a big man like him stand up for himself? In the end, he can only choose to go home and find his mother, bringing out Li Shi.

  Shen Huan is not stupid, and Mu Siyao is even more clever. Naturally, they understand what Zhao Xiu's intentions are, and what they want is freedom. As for really wanting to play tricks and force him into a corner, since he found Li as an intermediary, Shen Huan would rather make things difficult for himself in order to give face to his elders.

  So, the letter was obtained in this way. What made Shen Huan regretful was that throughout the whole process, until she left the Zhao residence, she did not wait for Zhao Xiuzhu to return home. After leaving the Zhao family, everyone would no longer be relatives, and at most they could only be considered acquaintances. Especially since Zhao Xiuzhu's feelings towards her were so awkward, it was even more impossible for her to have any further contact with him. If she could avoid seeing him, she probably wouldn't see him again in the future.

  "What are you thinking?"

  Nothing, just feel that before leaving didn't even say goodbye to little uncle.

  "Hehe, since all parties must come to an end, what are you planning to do next?"

  Shen Han replied, "Free body", apart from herself, the happiest one can be said to be Mu Siyao. She has passed her parents' test, now she needs to think of a way to open up her heart. Now it's convenient to try out her words and see what plans she has.

  "For now, I haven't made any plans yet. My parents don't even know about this matter, so I need to go home and inform them first."

  Upon hearing this, Mu Siyao also understood that she had acted impulsively this time. Her mother's family was still unaware that she had been divorced, and she couldn't help but feel some worry in her heart. In the past, when Shen Lao's husband passed away, he had married her off to this household; if she were to be divorced and return home, would she not have a hard time living?

  "Want me to go with you?"

  "No need, what makes you accompany me?"

  "I'm worried about you, and you know it."

  Mu Siyao smiled with an innocent face, as if saying such concerned words to Shen Huan was a very natural thing. However, it made Shen Huan somewhat unaccustomed. She had just been divorced... In modern terms, she had just gotten a divorce and was already bringing a man back to her parents' home to apologize, wasn't that humiliating for her parents and giving the neighbors something to gossip about? Originally, it was Zhao Xiu Lei who didn't adhere to marital fidelity, but in this society, men were not bound by chastity. Once a woman made a mistake, she would be thrown into the pig cage.

  She didn't want to just gain freedom and then be pulled into a pig cage, being said to be an unchaste woman.

  "Alright, just don't come and cause me more trouble, I still don't know how to face my parents when I get back."

  "If they give you trouble, tell me."

  "How could my parents make things difficult for me? At most, they would be unhappy for a while, and getting angry is inevitable."

  Mu Siyao fell silent, he really wanted to go home with Shen Huan, but... it's not like they could just leave whenever they wanted, and Shen Huan looked like she didn't want him to interfere at all. So he had no choice but to suggest another way: "How about we spend a few more days in the capital? We've been here for so long without really exploring it properly. I don't have much going on these next few days, so I'll accompany you around."

  After a few days when things are settled and I can get away, you won't be able to stop me from accompanying you.

  Shen Han didn't know what was on Mushi Yao's mind, so he thought about it seriously for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Alright, I'll also bring some things back for them."
