Chapter 271 Anger and Disappointment
Sweetie was taken aback, "Miss..."

Haitang was also taken aback, thinking that she would have to use her words to persuade Yunwei, but unexpectedly Yunwei agreed to let her go.

She paused for a moment, then knelt down again and kowtowed earnestly to Yunwei, "Haitang is gone. May the Princess live a peaceful and joyful life, and live to be a hundred years old!"

After saying that, she got up and turned away without looking back.

Tian'er snapped out of her daze and looked at Yunwei, "Miss, are you really going to let her go?"

"Just as Haitang herself said, if she wants to leave, no one can stop her. Well, if she doesn't want to stay, there's no point in forcing her," Yunwei said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Tian'er sighed, "Then this servant will see her off."

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

After Tian'er left, she got up and walked to the bedside, picked up the box from the bedside table, put it on the table, and opened it with the key.

There was no treasure map inside, only two medical books, which she had deliberately placed in the box.

She knew that Feng Huai's purpose in giving her the crabapple blossoms was to steal the treasure map from her.

So she deliberately created the illusion that there was a treasure map in the box.

However, Haitang hadn't made a move until yesterday when she saw Feng Huai return and started eyeing the box.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Haitang gave up her intention to open the box and even proposed to leave today.

It seems that Feng Huai must have threatened Haitang yesterday.

It's just unclear why Haitang is under his control.

Haitang didn't want to betray her, nor did she want to be controlled by Feng Huai any longer, so she decided to leave.

What exactly is Haitang hiding?
Yunwei closed the box and had someone summon Qingfeng.

"Your Highness," Qingfeng bowed respectfully.

Yunwei said, "Qingfeng, I need to ask you to do something."

"Please give your orders, Your Highness," Qingfeng said.

“Help me track Haitang,” Yunwei said.

Although Qingfeng was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded in agreement, "Yes."

……

Li House.

As soon as Li Yaoting returned to his residence, he angrily ordered, "Someone, prepare pen and ink!"

The servants were trembling with fear at his appearance, afraid of incurring his wrath.

Recently, the Li family seems to have been plagued by bad luck, with one misfortune after another occurring. Now, even the old lady and the madam have been imprisoned in the manor jail and beaten.

The servants quickly prepared pen and ink.

Li Yaoting sat at the table and wrote a letter of divorce.

Then he took the letter of divorce to the prison and threw it at Chen Yuniang.

Chen Yuniang had already woken up, but the injury on her back forced her to lie face down.

Just then, the letter of divorce in Li Yaoting's hand hit him in the face, and he immediately said angrily, "Why did you throw it at me?"

Li Yaoting stood outside the prison gate, his face ashen, and said, "Chen Yuniang, I've given you the letter of divorce. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

The words "letter of divorce" struck Chen Yuniang's mind like a thunderbolt. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She glared at Li Yaoting with resentment and anger. "You want to divorce me?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Li felt her injuries were no longer so painful; she was almost ready to clap her hands in delight.

“Son, you did well. A woman like her should have been kicked out long ago!” Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang was even more furious and said coldly, “You were the ones who wanted to marry me back then, and now you’re the ones who want to kick me out. With your consciences eaten by dogs, no wonder the Li family has declined. It’s all retribution.”

Old Madam Li valued the Li family the most, and upon hearing this, she turned ashen with anger. "The reason our Li family has become like this is all because of you, you jinx! If Yaoting hadn't been blind and married you instead of Yun Shi, our Li family would have been prosperous long ago."

You shameless woman, if you know what's good for you, take your divorce papers and get out of here!

"How shameless! Even now, you're still thinking about that Yun family. Too bad, they don't even look at you. And what do you think your Li family is? I can leave, but not as a divorce, but a proper separation!" Chen Yuniang said, tearing up the divorce letter and throwing it hard at Old Madam Li's face.

Madam Li was so angry that she pounced on her and started hitting her.

"You shameless woman, I'm going to beat you to death!"

Chen Yuniang, of course, was not to be outdone.

The two quickly began to wrestle.

Looking at the chaos in the cell, Li Yaoting was furious to the extreme, and his whole body went numb.

He didn't call the jailers in to separate the two, but instead watched them fight coldly.

Only when the two were too exhausted to fight and collapsed on the ground did he coldly say, "Chen Yuniang, you have disrespected your parents-in-law and ruined the reputation of our Li family. You have long violated the seven grounds for divorce. It is impossible for you to divorce me. I will write you another letter of divorce!" After saying that, he did not even look at Chen Yuniang's reaction and turned to leave.

Today in court, he was impeached in public by the Censorate, and the Emperor also publicly reprimanded him, causing him to lose face. And the instigator of all this was Chen Yuniang.

He truly regretted marrying such a woman.

People say that a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband.

It's just that he realized it too late.

He regretted more than once that he had fallen out with Yun Shi because of Chen Yuniang. If he hadn't divorced Yun Shi, the Li family wouldn't be in this state today.

After leaving the prison, he absentmindedly mounted his horse and led his men to inspect various places.

When they arrived at the gate of Wangyue Tower, they unexpectedly encountered Yunwei getting off the carriage.

At that moment, he tried to hide, but it was too late, because Yunwei had seen him.

"Isn't this General Zhonglang? Why is he all bruised and swollen? Did someone beat him up?" Yunwei didn't expect to run into him, but seeing his disheveled appearance, she didn't hesitate to mock him a few times.

She knew perfectly well why Li Yaoting had a bruised and swollen face; it was because he had been beaten by Chen Qi in the prison yesterday.

The person Li Yaoting least wants to see right now is Yun Wei.

Upon hearing the other person's sarcastic words, his face flushed red and then turned pale, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"I accidentally... tripped and fell. I hope the Regent's wife will forgive me," Li Yaoting said in a muffled voice, clenching his fists.

However, by the time he looked up, Yun Wei had already entered Wangyue Tower and hadn't heard him speak at all.

Seeing this, Li Yaoting felt both angry and disappointed.

After becoming the Regent's wife, this woman's airs grew increasingly arrogant.

……

After entering Wangyue Tower, Yunwei went straight to the second floor and entered the innermost private room.

Pushing open the door, Xu Yanyan was sitting there with a worried expression.

Seeing Yunwei arrive, she perked up and said, "You've come."

Yun Wei nodded and sat down beside her. "Did you want to see me about something?"

She had her period these past two days and was resting at home when she unexpectedly received an invitation from Xu Yanyan, inviting her to a gathering at Wangyue Tower.

Xu Yanyan sighed, "My grandfather has already found out that the case of the embezzlement of disaster relief funds in Yangzhou last time was indeed related to the emperor. A person who doesn't care about the lives of the people is not a wise ruler. I don't want to marry such a person."
