city!Fu Xiaoyao's eyebrows lifted in sudden realization, "So it was Aunt Song."It seems he finally suspected Aunt Song."Why are you leaving" Lu Hanchuan asked her.Fu Xiaoyao fell silent.Lu Hanchuan w..."Grandpa, I..." Fu Xiaoyao looked at the old man with red eyes.

The old man was startled to see her crying, "What's wrong Why are you crying out of the blue Grandpa hasn't mistreated you, has he"

"I know, I'm just...just..."

“Just what is it, you better tell me!” The old man was so anxious he kept tapping his cane.

This girl, crying and whining, is driving me crazy!

Fu Xiaoyao sniffed. "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I couldn't hold back."

"Alright, just get on with it." The old man sighed and rubbed his temples.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, as if she had made up her mind. She wiped away her tears and then took a deep breath before prostrating herself before the old man with a thud.

Both the old man and his attendant Fu Bo were startled.

"Girl, what are you doing" The old man quickly had Fu Bo help her up.

Fu Xiaoyao, however, was unwilling. She refused to get up no matter what. “Grandfather, I’m sorry, I will disappoint your expectations.”

"What's wrong" the old man frowned.

"Grandpa, I want a divorce!" Fu Xiaoyao reached out and wiped away her tears.

"What did you say" The old man's teacup froze mid-air.

Fu Bo was also staring at Fu Xiaoyao in astonishment.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip and repeated, "Grandpa, I want a divorce!"

Ding!

The sound of the teacup crashing heavily onto the table.

The old man's face was so dark it was about to drip water, “You said you want a divorce”

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, suppressing her fear. "Yes."

"Tell me your reasons," the old man said, his eyes narrowed menacingly.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't dare to meet the old man's gaze, lowering her head and saying, "Because I can't get along with Lu Hanchuan anymore."

"For this reason" the old man chuckled angrily.

Fu Xiaoyao buried her head even lower, "Yes..."

"Humph!" The old man slammed his hand on the table, "If you can't bear it, then get a divorce, Fu Xiaoyao! Do you think you're still a child In your eyes, marriage is just a trifle"

"No, Grandpa, I don't take marriage lightly. It's just that... I've had some things happen recently." Fu Xiaoyao choked back tears.

She dared not tell anyone about her child being gone.

The old man had always longed for his great-grandchild. If he knew the child was gone, his heart would surely be broken.

"Something happened What happened" the old man squinted with his sharp eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "Grandpa, I can't say."

"What's there not to say!"

"I really can't say, I'm sorry grandpa." Fu Xiaoyao's tears flowed again.

The old man, seeing her like this, was quite tired. He rubbed his temples and gave Fu Bo a look.

Uncle Fu nodded in understanding and quietly left the study.

"Alright, since you won't speak, I won't press you. I just want to ask, are you sure you want a divorce" The old man's voice was very cold.

Fu Xiaoyao firmly raised her head, "Yes, I'm certain."

"Well, it seems your thoughts of divorce have been around for quite some time," the old man sneered.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips and said nothing.

The old man tapped his cane. "Fu Xiaoyao, do you know that our Lu family has never had a divorce precedent What makes you think the old man would let you set this precedent Besides, you've already been included in the Lu family genealogy and met all our relatives. Do you really think divorce is a simple matter"

"I know, but I'm really too tired. I can't forgive him." Fu Xiaoyao said, her body trembling slightly.

The old man frowned suspiciously, "Forgive him Did Hanchuan do something to you"

"He..." Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to say what happened, but in the end she swallowed it back. "No, it's my fault, it's because of me, the divorce was also one-sided on my part, it has nothing to do with him."

"Since it's you one-sided, that means Hanchuan doesn't know you want to divorce him" The old man was slightly surprised.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head. "No, he knows, I've told him too, but he just didn't agree."

"Since he didn't agree, isn't that better for you It shows that you have a place in his heart. As for your feelings for Hanchuan, I've seen them with my own eyes. As long as you two last, there will come a day when you'll be a loving couple." The old man raised his teacup again and said.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, "No way, Lu Hanchuan doesn't have me in his heart at all. He only has Qi Ya."

"Qi Ya" The old man's face turned unpleasant when he heard the name. "So you want to divorce Hanchuan because of this woman"

"She has some connection with Qi Ya as well," Fu Xiaoyao replied.

The old man snorted, "Foolish! Even if you mind this woman, don't forget that you are Hanchuan's wife. Are you afraid she threatens your position"

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and remained silent.

The old man then said, "Since that's the case, I'll make things right and have that woman leave for another country."

"Don't, Grandfather." Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up to stop him.

The old man frowned, "What Do you want a rival in love to keep you company"

"No, I'm just worried that if you do this, Lu Hanchuan will take his anger out on me." Fu Xiaoyao replied with a wry smile.

For instance, these past three years of her solitude, hasn't it all been intentional on Lu Hanchuan's part

Three years ago, she was chosen by the old man and forced to marry Lu Hanchuan. Lu Hanchuan couldn't disobey the old man, so he could only vent his anger on her. Therefore, he deliberately ignored her for three years without a word.

"How could Hanchuan do this" The old man didn't quite believe Fu Xiaoyao.

To him, his grandson wasn't the kind of person who didn't distinguish right from wrong.

Fu Xiaoyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Grandpa, you probably don't understand Lu Hanchuan at all. Because the real reason I want to divorce is because I'm already disappointed in him."

"Nonsense, how could I not know Hanchuan" The old man glared at her.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart ached, and she didn't respond.

The old man looked at her and sighed, “Xiao Yao, I’ll ask you again, are you sure you want a divorce”

"Yes." Fu Xiaoyao still gave the same answer.

The old man clenched the dragon head on his cane, lost in thought.

He understood this girl pretty well. He could see how much she loved her grandson, that was crystal clear. It was absolute devotion.

And such a steadfast person, suddenly opening his mouth to say he was disappointed and wanted a divorce, if nothing had happened here, he wouldn't believe it at all.

It seems like that boy, Kanagawa, really did something to her.

"Alright then, I'll think about this. You go back first." The old man waved his hand dismissively and sent Fu Xiaoyao away.

Fu Xiaoyao was still reluctant to leave, but she didn't dare disobey her grandfather's order. She could only leave the study in a daze.

Even as she walked towards the gate of the old house, Fu Xiaoyao still felt a bit uneasy.

I wonder if the old man will agree to let her divorce Lu Hanzchuan.

"Young Mistress." Fu Bo suddenly walked over from the path on the right.

Fu Xiaoyao temporarily gathered her thoughts and politely smiled at him, "Uncle Fu."

"Young mistress, are you preparing to return" Fu Bo asked kindly.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded slightly, "I've bothered Grandpa for so long, I should go back."

"Then I'll have someone send it to you."

"No need, Uncle Fu, I can go back by myself. Don't bother you, goodbye." She declined Uncle Fu's kindness, waved her hand, and continued walking forward.

After taking two steps, a meaningful remark came from Uncle Fu behind her, "Madam, rest assured, this time the master will teach the young master a good lesson."

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened as she turned back, "Grandpa Fu, you already know"s, I know I was wrong. It won't happen again." 。"Fortunately, I came back in time that day, or else you would have ruined all my plans." 。Tang Yi looked at her with a sinister expression. 。The old wom...
