The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending-Chapter 423

Chapter 423

Qin Jiu burst out laughing and fed it a small dried fish when Fang Hanjun suddenly asked, “I heard from my imperial grandmother that your wedding date has been set.”

“Yes.” Qin Jiu nodded naturally and unrestrainedly, “Madam Xiao asked the astronomer to choose a date.”

“Congratulations, it’s a pity that I can’t go to your residence to congratulate you that day.” Fang Hanjun said regretfully. She still observed her filial piety; therefore, it was inconvenient to congratulate Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu joked, “If you can’t come, I’ll just accept the red envelope.”

The cat gave a contemptuous look; seeing this, Qin Jiu stretched her fingers and lightly flicked the cat’s forehead. The cat got angry immediately and did not want the dried fish anymore as it ran away.

Fang Hanjun looks at Qin Jiu’s joyful side profile, and pinches her handkerchief as she seems to be a little hesitant, and finally could not help but lower her voice and ask, “Xiao Jiu, I’ve always wanted to ask, do you mind?” She pauses for a moment, “I mean, the matter of the Duan Wang couple’s divorce.”

“I don’t mind.” Qin Jiu met Fang Hanjun’s eyes calmly, her eyes looking like a clear spring and bright moon.

Fang Hanjun was stunned and asked again, “Why?”

Without hesitation, Qin Jiu said, “Marriage is not all there is to life.”

“Whether it’s a man or a woman, there’s no need to condemn yourself, since you can’t live with it anymore, just separate, and be freer alone, go wherever you want.”

Thinking that Madam Xiao was in a much better mood after her trip to Jiangnan, Qin Jiu felt slightly tickled.

Fang Hanjun looked at Qin Jiu seriously, and seeing that her eyes were clear and every word she said came out from her heart, unlike those people who were superficial but actually looked down on her mother, her heart swirled with extremely strong and complex emotions.

Clutching the handkerchief tightly her eyes darkened like the bottomless abyss and her voice hoarse, “But the people thinks that a woman who wants divorce and leaves is an outcast and has no womanly virtue.”

Qin Jiu shrugged her shoulders, “The people wants to be an emperor.”

The question was, could they be the emperor?

So, what does it matter what the people thinks!

“……” Fang Hanjun’s eyes widened.

Qin Jiu smiled and said, “It’s good that Madam Xiao is happy, what does it have to do with the people?! Will they be able to give her silver to spend, or will they be able to suffer and be aggrieved on her behalf?”

Madam Xiao has money, a house, and a son and she does not lack anything. Besides adding obstacles to her life, Duan Wangye, the scumbag was nothing but a nuisance to her… No, Duan Wangye lets his cheap son kill Madam Xiao.

Qin Jiu suddenly remembered a phrase she once read on the Internet: marriage? The kind that kills people!

With subtle expressions, she cupped the teapot in her hand and took two sips of tea.

Fang Hanjun: “…”

Fang Hanjun fell silent, seemingly preoccupied.

When she did not say anything, Qin Jiu also did not speak anymore, as she continued to drink the hot and fragrant flower tea that instantly warmed her body.

At this time, the spineless greedy cat turned its head back and crouched at Qin Jiu’s feet, looking up at her with beautiful cat eyes unblinking and waiting for her to feed her.

Qin Jiu deliberately did not look at it, so the greedy cat changed its position and continued to stare at her, stare at her, and stare at her.

Just when Qin Jiu was about to surrender, she heard Fang Hanjun suddenly say, “Xiao Jiu, you know my situation too, right?” Her voice slightly tensed.

While Qin Jiu and Fang Hanjun spent time together, the latter never mentioned anything about her family affairs, so Qin Jiu never asked either.

Now that Fang Hanjun mentioned it, Qin Jiu nodded, “I don’t know much.”

Fang Hanjun knows that Qin Jiu has only returned to the capital for a year, and she does not know much about these noble clans and imperial affairs. Until now, Qin Jiu was out of place among noble women in the capital, but she seemed completely indifferent and did not attempt to integrate herself to them and just enjoy herself, as she handled the situation calmly.

Truth was, Fang Hanjun was surprised. After spending these months together, she realized that Qin Jiu was a little different, so today she could not help but say these things to her.

“For as long as I can remember, my father has had concubines….”

Fang Hanjun spoke slowly, her voice hoarser while her eyes were slightly dazed and her thoughts seemed to go back to the past.
