I insist

Chapter 189: Divorce

When Song Miqiu went out, she bumped into Qiu Tianlei.

Remembering what she had just said to Tian Yumei, she smiled and called out Qiu Tianlei's name, "Tianlei, come here for a second!"

"Mother, you called me." Qiu Tianlei turned around and saw Song Miqiu. He smiled and strode over. He stood there straight and asked with a light laugh, "Mother, what brings you here?"

"I already know that you and Yumei earned more than fifty taels of silver."

Qiu Tianlei nodded. Judging from Song Miqiu's tone, he knew that the other party had already handed over the money to Song Miqiu. "Since Yumei has given it to you, please accept it and keep it safe for us. After all, we can't save money."

“That’s not how it is.” Song Miqiu frowned. She felt a little helpless about Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei’s idea. She didn’t expect that the two of them would have the same idea.

"It must be that Yumei hasn't had a chance to tell you yet that Mother won't take this money; Mother has asked Yumei to keep it safe."

"You entrusted Yu Mei with safekeeping?!" Qiu Tianlei asked in surprise. This was really unlike Song Miqiu's personality. After all, Song Miqiu was obsessed with money. Although they entrusted their money to Song Miqiu for safekeeping, they did not actually let her keep it for them.

They could see that Song Miqiu had sacrificed a lot of money for the family, and they would agree if Song Miqiu wanted to spend the fifty taels of silver.

Anyway, they left some money there.

"Yu Mei will have to manage the household sooner or later, so you'll have to listen to her when that happens!" Song Miqiu felt helpless thinking about how Qiu Tianlei had treated Tian Yu Mei before.

If Tian Yumei had a bad temper, she would have packed her bags and left long ago.

But Tian Yumei has a good personality, so she can't let herself be bullied forever. She doesn't know how the original owner used to bully Tian Yumei with Qiu Tianlei, but now the two of them run a breakfast shop together.

This also shows that life is getting better day by day, and Qiu Tianlei's bad habits are gradually improving, which is what we want to see most.

Yu Huailin lowered his head, picked up his brush, dipped it in the ink in the inkstone, and wrote the memorial to the throne stroke by stroke.

He lowered his head and slowly blew on the memorial, trying to make it dry faster.

Yu Huailin's ears suddenly twitched. He had been with Song Miqiu for so long that he was extremely familiar with Song Miqiu's footsteps.

He looked down at the memorial on the table. Yu Huailin gritted his teeth. Fortunately, the ink on the memorial had dried.

The memorial was casually folded by Yu Huailin and placed under a pile of Xuan paper to cover it up. At the same time, Yu Huailin picked up a piece of Xuan paper and scribbled a few words on it to cover it up as well.

He heard the sound of a door opening overhead, and Yu Huailin looked up, pretending to have just heard the noise.

Song Miqiu pushed open the door, lifted her skirt and strode in. She slowly raised her eyes and saw Yu Huailin looking very flustered. Although he hadn't done anything, his expression betrayed him.

Seeing Yu Huailin's appearance, Song Miqiu's earlier guess became even more certain.

The other person has someone they like, but they're unwilling to tell you.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu knew she had to end this absurd marriage. She didn't want Yu Huailin to be criticized in front of his beloved woman for marrying an old woman.

Yu Huailin swallowed hard, quickly suppressing his panic. He took a deep breath and calmly asked, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"

"Do you want to get a few medical books?" Yu Huailin guessed that Song Miqiu probably wanted to read these days, and the books were already on the table.

He was about to point it out to the other person when he discovered that there were memorials to the emperor placed under those medical books. His pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly lowered his eyes to hide the expression on his face.

He had been so flustered while hiding that he had completely forgotten about this incident.

Yu Huailin wanted to punch himself for speaking recklessly earlier. If he hadn't mentioned those medical books, Song Miqiu probably wouldn't have brought it up, and he could have just made up an excuse to get away with it.

But that's not possible right now.

Based on Yu Huailin's understanding of Song Miqiu, and given Song Miqiu's interest in medical books, he would definitely go and read them.

Song Miqiu did not respond to the other party's words, but strode over to Yu Huailin and stood in front of him, placing her hand to the side, which happened to be near the medical book.

Yu Huailin was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, fearing that the other party would see the memorials hidden under the medical book.

He hadn't yet figured out how to talk to Song Miqiu about how he was now working for the Crown Prince.

After all, Song Miqiu had also been in contact with people in the palace. If he knew that she was working for the Crown Prince, he would definitely pay more attention to the Crown Prince and the people around him in the future.

The Crown Prince and Zhang Jiesheng have always been suspicious by nature. If Song Miqiu is so attentive, it will definitely attract their attention.

Even if I disguise myself, they will still notice.

His face must not be allowed to appear under the Crown Prince's nose.

Song Miqiu originally intended to move the items, but upon seeing that they were several medical books, she put them down.

She wasn't as interested in medical books as usual; all she could think about was Yu Huailin's sweetheart. She withdrew her hand, sat down in front of Yu Huailin, stared at his handsome face, and said in a low voice, "Let's get a divorce."

Yu Huailin was relieved that Song Miqiu hadn't discovered the memorial under the medical book, but then he heard what the other party said. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What did you just say?"

He thought he was hallucinating; after all, why would someone want a divorce when everything was fine?

“I said,” Song Miqiu took a deep breath, composed herself, and repeated her words with a very serious tone, “Let’s get a divorce.”

"It's fair that we split our shared property in half."

Seeing that Song Miqiu was getting more and more agitated, Yu Huailin's previous tension vanished instantly. He asked in confusion, "Why do you want a divorce? Nothing bad has happened between us."

Song Miqiu frowned, placed her hand on the wooden table, tilted her head, and asked, "Don't you have someone you like?"

"My sweetheart?!" Yu Huailin subconsciously reached out and touched Song Miqiu's head, wondering, "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

His beloved had always been Song Miqiu, but she hadn't realized it.

Yu Huailin understood this as well. After all, he had only secretly seen Song Miqiu's true face under the human skin mask, and Song Miqiu did not know it. He must have thought that Song Miqiu looked down on this old woman, so how could he possibly like her?

Song Miqiu impatiently slapped the hand off her forehead and asked in confusion, "You haven't wanted to talk to me these past few days. When I try to talk to you, you just give me a few perfunctory words. Could it be that you have someone you like?"

In Song Miqiu's view, this situation basically meant that Yu Huailin had found someone he liked, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped paying attention to her for no reason.
