"Doctor, is he seriously ill?"
"Don't worry, young master. He's fine. He's just been overly depressed these days and hasn't had a good rest. His body couldn't take it, and then he fainted due to excessive anger just now. I'll prescribe some medicine and he'll be okay."
"However, he still needs to pay attention to rest."
"Thank you, doctor." Yuan Yuhan sighed again. He wondered what A Ru had said that could have made Brother Zhanzhi so angry.
It seemed that he really couldn't provoke her in the future, or he'd be mad at her sooner or later.
Yuan Yuhan gave the prescription to Mu Nan and told Hong Yi to guard here. Then he went out to look for A Ru. He was eager to know what had happened.
Hong Yi looked at his unconscious master lying on the bed. Thinking that Mu Fengqie was taking care of another man now, he couldn't help feeling extremely angry.
Such an unchaste woman! Why didn't the master divorce her? Staying with them would only hold them back! Finally, Hong Yi made up his mind. He prepared the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and started to write.
In the evening, when everyone was in their own rooms, Hong Yi knocked on Mu Fengqie's door.
Mu Fengqie looked at Hong Yi standing at the door and wondered what he wanted.
"What's up? What do you want from me?"
"Miss Mu, this is something the master asked me to give you." He handed over an envelope with both hands.
Mu Fengqie glanced at Hong Yi and didn't really care about his way of addressing her. After all, no matter how he called her, it was still her. But when her eyes shifted to the envelope in Hong Yi's hand, she was stunned.
She clearly saw the two words on the envelope, "Divorce Letter!" Mu Fengqie stared blankly at Hong Yi. After a long time, she finally regained her senses.
"What does this mean?" Mu Fengqie recognized the handwriting on it. It was indeed Jing Xunce's, but she just couldn't react for a moment.
"This is the master's intention. I'm just doing as I'm told. Please don't make things difficult for me, miss. Moreover, the master also said that you'd better not see each other again in the future. Just let all the past be like floating clouds."
Mu Fengqie took the letter with a trembling hand. "Did he really say that?"
"Yes. Please take care of yourself, miss." Hong Yi took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and said, "This is my little token of gratitude. Thank you for saving me that day."
The silver he gave could allow an ordinary person to live for several years. If Mu Fengqie lived frugally, it would be enough for her to live on.
Mu Fengqie said nothing and turned around to close the door.
Hong Yi looked at the money bag in his hand and said nothing. He turned around and left. No one saw what had happened.
Mu Fengqie sat in the room, staring blankly at the divorce letter on the table. No one knew what she was thinking.
The next day, when A Ru knocked on Mu Fengqie's door, she found that no one answered after knocking for a long time. Afraid that something might have happened, she broke in. To her surprise, the door in the room wasn't locked.
"Sister, sister?" A Ru searched every corner of the room but didn't find Mu Fengqie.
"Yuan Yuhan! Yuan Yuhan, have you seen my sister?"
"No. What's going on? What happened?"
Since Jing Xunce had fainted yesterday and was still unconscious, only Yuan Yuhan and the others were downstairs.
"My sister is missing! Was she captured by the Empress of Southern Qing again?"
"No. We've hidden secret guards around. It's impossible for the Empress of Southern Qing to take her away silently."
"What are you talking about? Who took who away?" The people downstairs stopped when they heard Jing Xunce's voice. They watched as Jing Xunce walked down step by step. Although his face was a bit pale, he looked much better.
"What are you talking about? Where's Qie'er?" Jing Xunce looked around but didn't see Mu Fengqie. He began to ask about her whereabouts.
"Um, Brother Zhanzhi, you must stay rational when you hear this news. She might not be missing. Maybe she went out to buy something and will be back soon."
"Is Qie'er missing?!" Jing Xunce could see through their far - fetched excuse at a glance.
"I'm asking you! Is she?"
"Yes..."
"A Ru went to knock on the door this morning and she was already gone. But don't worry, Zhanzhi. She might have gone out to buy something and will be back soon..."
Yuan Yuhan's voice became softer and softer. Firstly, he couldn't make up any more lies. Secondly, he didn't know what to say when he saw Jing Xunce's face getting darker and darker.
"Search! Search for her at all costs!" Jing Xunce lost his mind. All he knew now was that Qie'er was missing. Was she captured by someone or did she leave on her own?
If it was the first situation, he would never let that person go. If it was the second, then he... Jing Xunce's tears fell without warning.
Hong Yi looked at the suffering Jing Xunce, clenched his fists and turned away.
Jing Xunce staggered into Mu Fengqie's room. Looking at the tidy room with none of her things, he knew the answer was the second one.
Jing Xunce laughed, a miserable laugh. "Mu Fengqie! Mu Fengqie! Come back! Our misunderstanding hasn't been cleared up yet. Who allowed you to leave! Come back!"
Jing Xunce lay on the ground, calling Mu Fengqie's name over and over again, but there was no response in the empty room.
"Hey! You really got divorced by Jing Xunce?" A man was lying lazily on the couch.
Mu Fengqie gave him a disdainful look and didn't say a word.
"I think it's good that you got divorced. I just don't like Jing Xunce."
"Jiang Yanqin, do you have a grudge against Jing Xunce?"
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"You look like you can't wait to kill him."
Jiang Yanqin touched his face, looking a bit surprised. "Is it that obvious? I thought I hid it well." Jiang Yanqin said indifferently.
"Come on. I'm telling you, people outside are looking for me now. You'd better keep my whereabouts a secret. If you leak it, be careful I'll deduct your pay."
Mu Fengqie hit Jiang Yanqin's weak point directly and had him under control.
"Come on! You don't have to be so harsh, do you? People are right. The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart."
"Humph. Say whatever you want. You can quietly tell A Ru my news. Just tell her I'm fine. Don't say anything else."
"Okay. What about the others?" Jiang Yanqin looked at Mu Fengqie curiously.
"Say nothing! I'm warning you. You'd better keep your mouth shut, or I'll can't help but drug you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yanqin shivered. This woman was really ruthless.
But he was relieved to see that she was okay. As for feelings, he'd slowly win her over.
Since she was divorced from Jing Xunce, there was no reason for him not to take advantage of the situation. Once he chased her, he'd surely spoil her and never let her suffer any grievances.
