Li Hongyuan returned home to change clothes and went to the study to read and write.
Usually, as soon as he picked up a book, he could immediately forget about everything else and immerse himself in it.
But now, no matter what he did, he couldn’t calm down.
He only felt a mess in his heart.
He threw down the book, went to the martial arts training arena, practiced a sword routine, but the more he practiced, the more irritated he became.
Throwing the sword down, he rode off to drink.
As he rode, unconsciously, he arrived near the Jiang Family residence.
Looking at the entrance of the Jiang Family from a distance, he furrowed his brows for a moment, then returned to the Prince’s residence and ordered the housekeeper to go to the Jiang Family and retrieve the annulment document.
The housekeeper was a bit baffled.
Retrieving the sent annulment document?
That wasn’t the style of their master at all.
When had their master ever taken back something he had given away?
Wasn’t that just slapping himself in the face?
Due to his disbelief, the housekeeper stood there, stupefied, without responding.
Li Hongyuan coldly said, “Can’t you understand what this prince is saying? If you can’t get the annulment document back, you’ll be sleeping in the doghouse tonight!”
The housekeeper shuddered and turned to run.
He gasped as he arrived at the Jiang Family residence, told the guards his identity, and requested to see Prime Minister Jiang and Third Master Jiang.
The guards couldn’t help but remember him.
It was he who personally delivered the annulment document.
When had the Jiang Family ever been given such a thing?
Those ladies from the Jiang Family who had run back home due to conflicts would always have their husbands come and kneel, apologized, and pleaded for them to return. No one had ever received an annulment document.
This was a great humiliation to the Jiang Family.
A gatekeeper of a prime minister, even a low-ranking official, held much reverence and respect from others.
So when they saw the housekeeper of the Prince of Yu residence, they naturally wouldn’t give him a good attitude.
While talking with him, they didn’t let him in or send the message.
Finally, the housekeeper got angry and said that if their masters’ important matters were delayed, the guards wouldn’t be able to afford the consequence.
The guards didn’t dare to hinder the matters of the Jiang Family, and eventually sent someone to relay the message.
In the end, it was Jiang Yi who came out.
He should have returned to the Academy, but since Seventh Sister returned home pregnant, he hadn’t gone back and planned to stay until the matter was resolved.
After all, their aged parents had finally found their long-lost sister who had been wronged, and as a brother, he naturally had to stand up for her.
“Isn’t this the head housekeeper of the Prince of Yu residence?” said Jiang Yi with a smile. “What brings you here?”
Seeing him, the housekeeper felt relieved and quickly explained his purpose.
“Retrieve the annulment document?” Jiang Yi was astonished. “How could this happen? Was your prince so casual when he decided to send the annulment document, that he can just change his mind?”
The housekeeper was a bit embarrassed: “This… it’s not… it’s not our prince’s intention, it’s my mistake.”
“Oh, so who are you to your prince, that he actually didn’t want to divorce his wife, but you, the housekeeper, took the initiative to divorce his wife on his behalf?”
“Ah? No, no, no! I definitely didn’t mean that!”
The housekeeper was frightened, quickly waved his hands, and started to stammer.
Although he was the Prince’s housekeeper and had seen a lot in his lifetime, this matter of revoking an annulment document truly was the first time!
He continually bowed with a mournful face: “Third Master, please be kind, don’t make things difficult for me. If I cannot bring it back today, our prince will not spare me.”
“I would like to help you, but I really can’t. The annulment document is gone.” Jiang Yi spread his hands.
“Gone? Gone?”
“That’s right..” Jiang Yi stated, “Let’s not beat around the bush, and I’ll ask you straightforwardly: is it true that your prince regretted it, and now doesn’t want to divorce his wife anymore?”
