When Jiujiu was betrothed to Ling Xiao, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, Ling Xiao came to visit Jiujiu the day after the betrothal. It was clear that Ling Xiao truly cared about Jiujiu.
The more Ling Xiao liked Jiujiu, the more Ling Xiao valued him when she recommended him to Jiujiu.
Li Xiucai wanted to befriend Jiujiu more and more through his wife. He even wanted to get to know Ling Xiao and recommend him.
Li Xiucai, on the other hand, had remained a scholar for many years.
He boasted that he was talented. He hadn't been able to become a grand scholar not because he lacked literary talent, but because he didn't have the connections. That was why he kept failing. If he had connections, he would definitely become a grand scholar.
Li Xiucai couldn't help but smile brightly at the thought of his glorious appearance after becoming a grand scholar.
His wife had just taken off her hairpin and was about to wash up and sleep when she heard a servant say, "Master is here to visit."
Li Xiucai had come to visit her once when she had a falling out with him. Now that he knew about her relationship with Jiujiu, he was especially diligent in visiting her. Even though she had embarrassed him, he wasn't angry at all and was still very careful with his words.
After being married to Li Xiucai for so long, this was the first time his wife had seen him so careful.
It was obvious that Li Xiucai was also very careful. However, that person wasn't with her.
The more she thought about it, the more her wife felt that her past was not worth it. She also felt that Li Xiucai was too boring.
She glanced at the servant and said, "Tell him that I'm already resting."
The servant immediately told Li Xiucai that she wasn't feeling well today and had already gone to bed.
Li Xiucai was rather disappointed when he heard that she was already resting. However, he still smiled and said, "Since Madam is already resting, I won't disturb you any further. I'll visit you tomorrow."
Li Xiucai left with a smile after he finished speaking. He didn't seem angry at all.
The servant described Li Xiucai's appearance to his wife.
She smiled and didn't take it to heart.
The next morning, she had just woken up and was washing up when she heard the servant say that Li Xiucai had come to visit her.
The smile on the wan niang's lips instantly vanished. She said to the servant girl, "I won't see him."
She couldn't be bothered to come up with an excuse and directly said that she wouldn't see him.
Li Xiucai wasn't angry at her refusal and continued to visit her that night.
Just like that, five or six days passed. Li Xiucai came every morning and night and was even more punctual than when he came to pay his respects to his mother. His wife was so annoyed by Li Xiucai that she finally agreed to see him.
After a few days of recuperation, Li Xiucai looked more like a decent man now. One could see the elegance he had in the past.
His wife took a sip of the tea. "What?"
He Xiucai's wife, he was was was's's's's?'s's's's't's a ''s was speechless's a visit visit visit.

"These days, I've thought a lot. I've deeply reflected on the things that happened in the past. Wife, I was wrong. Let's start over, okay?"
He Ji, no, no, to speak, he, he, to, he.. his' '' '''s, he, he was.. had to be be the point be know, no matter how, he...... he....... the hand hand hand to the time.... over, they..
Wan 'er's heart was somewhat moved.
The lady opened her mouth and was about to say that she would think about it when the maidservant suddenly said, "Madam, the county princess of Yang City is here."
Li Xiucai hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite the county princess in." His wife didn't even have a chance to speak.
When Li Xiucai heard about Jiujiu's eagerness, he poured a bucket of cold water over his wife's head.
She immediately realized why Li Xiucai had come looking for her last time.
Li Xiucai did not come looking for her because he liked her or wanted to reconcile with her. He was just playing the emotional card to achieve his goal.
Wan Niang's desire to agree instantly faded.
Jiujiu walked into the main hall and saw Li Xiucai standing at the entrance with a fawning expression on his face. She glanced at him and walked straight to her stepmother.
The lady hurriedly gave the seat of honor to Jiujiu and smiled, "Little sister, how come you have time to come over today?"
Because the Emperor was worried that Ling Xiao would change his mind, Ling Xiao and Jiujiu's wedding date was very close. Logically speaking, Jiujiu should be at home preparing her wedding dress.
"I had nothing to do at home, so I came to find Big Sister. Why? Am I not welcome?"
"Welcome, welcome," said Li Xiucai before his wife could say anything.
Jiujiu and Wan 'er frowned at the same time.
Jiujiu looked at Scholar Li.
Li Xiucai's thick skin did have some redeeming qualities.
Unfortunately, he had no other redeeming qualities other than his face.
Jiujiu sneered. "I'm talking to my sister. Where did this servant come from? How dare he interrupt. Housekeeper Li …"
Steward Li stepped forward. "Your servant is here."
"Slap him."
Scholar Li was about to explain that he was Wan 'er's husband, not a servant, when Steward Li slapped him four or five times.
Steward Li was not a little girl like Qingyan. He was trained in martial arts. After a few slaps, Scholar Li's face swelled up like a pig's head.
Seeing Li Xiucai being beaten up by Steward Li, the woman felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
That was because she had been slapped by Jin Xiulian in the same way back then.
After Steward Li was done slapping him, Scholar Li's face was swollen like a pig's head and he could not say a word.
At this time, the lady slowly said to Jiujiu, "Little sister, this isn't a servant. He's my husband."
Jiujiu looked surprised when she heard Wan 'er say that Scholar Li was not a servant but her husband. Just when Scholar Li thought that Jiujiu would apologize to him, Jiujiu said with a look of disdain, "So you're that soft-spoken, soft-rice, and mommy's boy."
Wan 'er had never heard of the phrase "mommy's boy", but it somehow made sense when Jiujiu said it.
After all, if Scholar Li listened to Jin Xiulian, wouldn't that make him a mommy's boy?
Scholar Li didn't expect Jiujiu to describe him in such an unbearable manner. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain himself.
Jiujiu ignored Scholar Li and said to Wan 'er with a smile, "Have you thought about what I told you last time?"
Wan 'er knew that Jiujiu was talking about her divorce from Scholar Li.
In the past, she had never thought about it. But just now, when Li Xiucai had tried to use feelings to reconcile with her and get close to Jiujiu to gain benefits, her heart had hardened. She no longer felt anything for him.
She was beginning to think that her marriage with Scholar Li had been a mistake.
Wan 'er nodded. "I've thought it over. I'll listen to your arrangements."
Jiujiu didn't expect Wan 'er to agree so quickly. She immediately smiled. "In that case, Scholar Li should sign it."
Jiujiu glanced at Steward Li, who immediately took out the divorce papers he had written. Once Scholar Li signed it, his marriage with Wan 'er would be over.
