The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1254 Helpless
"Don't be upset, this is not a divorce agreement, it's a termination agreement for our marriage."

Sheng Xin looked at Sister Kuang Qi with gentle eyes, and said slowly: "We both know where our marriage came from. Now that the original purpose of our marriage has been achieved, it doesn't make much sense to continue it."

"It seems that the prince has not forgotten that the marriage between you and me was arranged by the late emperor!" The temperature of Sister Kuang Qi's eyes dropped to freezing point. She exerted a little force with the hand holding the divorce document, and the piece of paper instantly broke into pieces.

She shook her hands casually, and countless pieces of paper fell to the ground like snowflakes.

"Our marriage was not born out of love, nor was it born out of trust. It was just an exchange of interests...Since it started with interests, it must naturally end with interests. It is reasonable to be consistent from beginning to end."

Sister Kuang Qi stroked the bracelet and looked straight at Sheng Xin: "Although I don't know why the prince did this, but you must not forget Sister Chun. She is your biological daughter, so it is your responsibility. You and I will part ways and both of us will be well, but what about Sister Chun?"

Sheng Xin glanced at the scraps of paper and sighed softly, "Chun Jie'er is the heir of the Hai'an Marquis' Mansion! Of course, I am her father. As long as I am alive, the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion will naturally be her support. But what if I am gone? Instead of relying on others, why not teach her to be self-reliant and strong."

Having said this, he paused, and then his eyes met Kuang Qi'er's inquiring eyes again: "After we move out of the Marquis' Mansion, I know you will definitely take Chun Jie'er back to Hai'an Earl's Mansion. If you still intend to build up connections for Chun Jie'er and find a backer, but don't think about teaching her to be strong and independent, I advise you to dissolve your marriage with me. At least, you and Chun Jie'er don't have to be involved in the chaos."

As he said this, Sister Kuang Qi's hands curled up involuntarily.

"The prince doesn't want Chun Jie'er to participate in the selection of his companions in the palace?"

"What? Are you interested too?" Sheng Xin couldn't help but sneer, "It's a pity that Brother Tao and Brother Yun won't participate."

"I won't say much about the two young men. My Hai'an Marquis's Mansion has no other ambitions, so you don't need to worry too much..." Sister Kuang Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, "But, if the palace simply wants to choose someone to accompany her and comfort her, do you think the Queen and the Emperor would be more willing to choose a man or a girl? If the Queen wants her niece to accompany her, do you have to give the opportunity to the Duke's Mansion?"

Sheng Xin was shocked when he heard this: "What did you hear?"

"Sir, instead of asking what you have heard, why don't you ask yourself, considering the Queen's personality, is this selection worthwhile? As for me, I just hope that our Chun sister can get closer to her aunt, the Queen. Even if she can't get the title of Princess like Yuan sister from Empress Dowager Xiaohe and Wen, at least she can leave an impression on the nobles in the palace..."

At this point, Sister Kuang Qi remembered Sheng Xin's previous advice, and immediately changed the subject, adding: "If Sister Chun can learn a little from the Queen, then will we still worry that she doesn't know how to be independent and strong?"

"..." Sheng Xin was silent for a long while after hearing the end, then he shook his head helplessly and asked in a low voice, "I just don't understand, is this palace such a good place? How could it make you two have such delusions? Why don't you understand! In this world, not everyone is Sister Yuan! Similarly, this queen is not Empress Dowager Xiaohewen!"
