Gu Bailu held her forehead and sighed. “I actually pity Feng Qingtian.”

  Feng Qingtian hadn’t abandoned his wife for a new lover, but he had certainly kicked out a replacement.

  “But I didn’t do anything wrong. I can’t let myself be humiliated like this.” Gu Bailu stood up and looked at herself in the mirror.

  Well, she was satisfied with her appearance. She had put on striking makeup before speaking to the servants earlier.

  It was the perfect time to go to Prince Zi’s house.

  “So, I have to be the one to propose the divorce. Prince Zi has taken so much blame already; one more to the pile won’t hurt.”

  Before Gu Bailu left with Ah Luo, she told the servants, “Look out for those two wolves, and don’t let them steal any of the treasures from the house.”

  In any case, Gu Bailu had taken the ledger and the keys when she scoured Gu Zongxiong’s study earlier, so she wasn’t worried about him stealing anything.

  Instead of taking a carriage, Gu Bailu and Ah Luo walked down the street, since Prince Zi’s house actually wasn’t that far from the Gu house.

  Her open attitude somehow stopped the gossip and whispers. Everyone found it hard to believe that Princess Zi had been kicked out, and they suspected that she had only been visiting her parents’ house the previous day to drive out the shameless couple.

  Their thoughts were understandable since Gu Bailu acted like nothing was wrong.

  However, some of the bolder individuals questioned her outright.

  “Princess Zi, is it true that you’ve been kicked out of Prince Zi’s house?” asked a young man from a noble family.

  Gu Bailu grinned at him. “You must give me something if you want me to talk.”

  The man hurriedly took out a pill. “This is the best spiritual pill that I just bought.”

  Gu Bailu accepted it. It wasn’t as good as the Pure Heart Pill, but it was still good. She tossed it to Ah Luo. “Here, candy for you.”

  The young man’s lips twitched; he had spent a thousand gold taels on that piece of “candy.”

  Accepting the payment, Gu Bailu nodded and answered his question. “I have indeed left Prince Zi’s house.”

  She hadn’t been kicked out, but she didn’t intend to explain herself, since whatever she said, people would still believe that she had been kicked out.

  “Does Prince Zi really have a new lover?” The young man hadn’t spent a thousand gold taels for just one question.

  Gu Bailu glanced at him. “A gentleman should be considerate. You’re picking at my wound.”

  Gu Bailu waved at him, and left with Ah Luo.

  She had barely disappeared when a crowd gathered around the young man with questions.

  The young man told them what he had just learned, and the word spread that Gu Bailu had been kicked out of Prince Zi’s house.

  “Also, I heard that Prince Zi has a new lover.”

  “The new lover is even more gorgeous than Miss Nan.”

  “Princess Zi is only reasonably pretty to begin with. It was only a matter of time before she was replaced.”

  Gu Bailu was lost for words.

  She had remembered something after walking away, and had returned to let the young man know. Thanks to her sharp senses, however, she heard the whispers.

  “Sir, do you have any other questions?” Gu Bailu kindly prompted him.

  The young man’s eyes glowed. Of course he did.

  “Why are you out right now?” Shouldn’t she be hiding at home after this?

  “I’m going to drop off a divorce notice with Prince Zi.”


  403 Shut Ou

  The previously noisy street became so quiet that one could hear the falling leaves.

  Despite the warm sun, everybody on the street froze.

  Was this woman crazy?

  Dropping off a divorce notice with Prince Zi?

  A woman who had been kicked out dared to return?

  Was she trying to get herself killed?

  It was true that this garbage was simple-minded.

  “But I don’t know if he will accept it,” said Gu Bailu worriedly.

  Is that what you’re worried about?

  You should be worrying if you’ll come out alive! If you’ve been kicked out, you should just lie low. At worst, you’ll only be mocked by the whole world, like you’ve always been. Why do you have to get yourself killed?

  But of course, nobody really said that to Gu Bailu. For them, she was just a topic of gossip; they didn’t really care if she lived or died.

  “But it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t accept it…… I have other ways.” Gu Bailu grinned. “Since you’re free, why don’t you come with me? I fear that I might be outnumbered.” ……

  So her head wasn’t really filled with paste. Wasn’t she determined earlier to take on Prince Zi’s house on her own?

  “Well…… I have something to do at home……” The gossipy young man was the first to run off.

  He didn’t fancy being killed by accident while watching the drama.

  There were some shows that could be watched, and some that couldn’t.

  After he left, the crowd quickly dispersed.

  Gu Bailu said regretfully, “The new Princess Zi is really pretty. Do you really not want to take a look at her?”

  Of course they didn’t. However pretty she was, she belonged to Prince Zi.

  “Ah Luo, let’s go.”

  Gu Bailu was bored. She had planned to gather a big crowd, but all of them chickened out in the end.

  So, under everybody’s gazes, Gu Bailu walked to the end of the street.

  When she turned the corner, she counted hundreds of stalkers who were secretly spying on her.

  Those people were interested in the drama, but didn’t dare watch it out in the open.

  How pitiful.

  Since they were so pitiful, she decided to make the drama even more spectacular.

  Should she point at Feng Qingtian’s nose and curse him?

  Or should she ask for compensation?

  While she considered this, she reached Prince Zi’s house.

  But to her surprise, the gate to Prince Zi’s house was closed without a single guard in sight.

  “What’s going on? Did Prince Zi move? Or did the woman run away after swindling him out of his possessions?” Gu Bailu made a few guesses.

  The stalkers behind her were dumbfounded as well, since the gate to Prince Zi’s house was never closed.

  It was wide open even at night, but nobody ever dared to break in.

  “Why is the gate closed?”

  “To prevent this garbage from delivering the divorce notice, of course.”

  “Is Prince Zi scared of her? Prince Zi can easily drive her off this street.”

  Gu Bailu was lost for words.

  Can you stop whispering? Although your voices are low, I can still hear you loud and clear. How annoying.

  She only wanted a peaceful divorce so that she could be a single lady again.

  Why was she shut out?

  Did they think this would stop her?
