I made the villain right.

Chapter 197: After the divorce, he saw through the world and said he would become a monk

In front of a desk carved with delicate patterns and emitting a faint scent of ink, Fan Hua sat there with a look of helplessness and reluctance on his face, holding a brush tightly in his hand, as if the brush weighed a thousand pounds.

Shi Jin, who was standing beside him, was helping him grind ink. She slowly turned the ink stick, and the ink slowly spread out with her movements.

At the same time, she kept her eyes fixed on Fan Hua, as if supervising him to complete an important task.

Fan Hua raised his head and glanced at Shi Jin, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

There seemed to be a thousand words in that look.

His lips moved slightly, and he said in a low and bitter voice: "Are you so anxious to divorce me?"

Shi Jin sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and persuasion in her tone, and said softly: "Ah Yu, you have to act out the whole play. Since you have decided to divorce, then this divorce letter is an indispensable prop."

For some reason, Fan Hua felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Perhaps he knew that once the divorce agreement was written, it would mean that there would no longer be any external ties between them, and the piece of paper that had once maintained their engagement and symbolized their connection would vanish into thin air.

However, amidst this endless melancholy, a trace of comfort welled up in his heart.

Because the relationship between them is not proved by this marriage contract.

Fan Hua's hands seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could not fall.

His heart was like a tangled mess.

Finally, he seemed to give up and slowly put down the brush.

His voice was low and hoarse: "I can't write it down"

There was a hint of childishness and coquettishness in the tone of voice.

It is as if the person in front of you is not a mature and stable adult, but an ignorant child who, because of encountering difficult problems or setbacks, begins to vent his inner dissatisfaction and irritability without scruples.

Shi Jin stared quietly at Fan Hua's acting like a spoiled brat, just like a stubborn and adorable child.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her smile.

Seeing that he was unwilling, she did not force him.

"Then don't write it for now. If father asks, I will try to fool him."

There was a kind of open-mindedness in her words that let things take their own course.

Suddenly she thought of something, pursed her lips slightly, and then said: "Ayu, there is something I forgot to tell you."

She paused for a moment, as if her next words were of great weight, "In two days, my father and brother and I will set off for Jinzhou City."

Fan Hua was already feeling depressed because he had to write a divorce letter. When he heard these words, his sword-like brows instantly furrowed tightly like two small mountains, and he felt even more worried.

Almost without thinking, he walked over to her and held her tightly in his arms.

One of his hands gently stroked Shi Jin's hair.

The other hand was wrapped tightly around her waist, holding her body close to him.

Shi Jin pressed her cheek against his chest and could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.

Fan Hua's voice was filled with anxiety and reluctance: "Why so sudden? I don't want to be separated from you, even for a moment."

As he spoke, he hugged Shi Jin tighter, and Shi Jin also stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his waist. The two bodies were tightly pressed together, as if they were about to melt in each other's love.

Shi Jin comforted his restless heart with an extremely gentle tone, her eyes full of tenderness, and she said softly: "Ah Yu, we are only separated temporarily, not forever. We can keep in touch through letters. If you miss me, come to Jinzhou City to see me."

Her voice was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Fanhua's heart, trying to soothe his anxiety.

However, Fan Hua's brows were still furrowed. He knew very well that even a short separation would make him suffer from homesickness.

But under Shi Jin's determined gaze, he could only nod silently and bury this reluctance deep in his heart.

Shi Jin went to Zhufeng Courtyard and told her father and brother about her decision.

"Dad, I have made up my mind. I will listen to you and divorce Fanhua."

Her tone was flat, and her delicate face was calm as water, without the slightest ripple, making it impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

The Shi father and son looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and astonishment.

They thought Shi Jin would cry and resist, after all, they saw the relationship between her and Fan Hua.

But I didn't expect that she was so well-behaved and obedient, and made a decision so quickly.

Things went too smoothly, which made Shi Wei frown slightly. His sophisticated eyes stared at Shi Jin, as if he wanted to see something from her calm expression.

He had a vague suspicion in his heart whether she was lying to him.

"Really?" Shi Wei asked again to confirm, with a serious tone, "Where's the divorce agreement? Let me see it."

He stretched out his hand, and his calloused palm seemed to urge Shi Jin to take out the divorce certificate that proved their separation.

Shi Sheng, who was standing aside, thought about what Luo Yi said, and was full of doubts. He then asked, "Where's Fan Hua? Why didn't he come with you? Did he agree?"

He stared at Shi Jin with sharp eyes.

Yesterday she said that she and Fan Hua were inseparable, but today she gladly accepted the divorce. This huge contrast is unbelievable.

Shi Jin is very good at acting.

She lowered her head slightly, her expression revealing just the right amount of sadness, like a flower that had withered after being beaten by wind and rain.

It seemed as if her calm appearance just now was a deliberate disguise in order to avoid disturbing her family, which made her even more pitiful.

"I have told him the truth of what happened back then. He must have been deeply shocked and confused, not knowing how to face me. When I proposed a divorce, he actually agreed. In that case, there is no need for me to linger on."

She paused for a moment and thought, "As for why he didn't come, I guess he was busy with the affairs of the cabinet recently and had no time to take care of other things."

As she spoke, a crystal teardrop quietly slipped from the corner of her eye. The teardrop slowly flowed down her cheek, as if carrying her endless sorrow.

She added, "That divorce agreement was really annoying to me, so I burned it in anger. Dad, please don't mention it to me again."

There was a hint of determination in her tone, as if she had really given up on this relationship.

Seeing her resolute attitude and the look as if she didn't want to have anything to do with Fan Hua, Shi's doubts gradually dispelled.

Shi Wei looked at Shi Jin with pity in his eyes and comforted her, "Fan Hua doesn't really treat you well, it's best for you to divorce him."

Shi Wei looked at Shi Jin, who was pretending to be strong but could not hide her loneliness, with pity in his eyes. He sighed softly and comforted her, "Fan Hua did not really treat you well, it is best for you to divorce him."

Shi Jin was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly.

She raised her head, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, and looked at her father and said, "Dad, from your tone, it seems that you are testing him, not really wanting us to get divorced."

Shi Wei blinked twice quickly and said unnaturally: "Dad is just talking about the facts, nothing else."

After a moment, he said with more conviction: "There are many good men in this world. Dad will help you find some talented men in the future."

Hearing this, Shi Jin couldn't help but be stunned.

She had just gotten divorced, and her father was arranging a blind date for her!

Besides, she and Fanhua didn't really want to divorce, this was just a strategy between them.

If Fanhua knew that her father was looking for someone else for her, wouldn't it be...

Shi Jin didn't dare to think further.

Her eyes flickered slightly and she looked a little flustered. She said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Dad, no need. I am already ashamed and disillusioned with the world. I can no longer love. If you insist on doing this, I will shave my head and become a monk."

Shi Jin's actions scared the Shi father and son.

Shi Wei quickly said: "Okay, Dad won't force you."

Shi Sheng thought of something and asked, "Since my sister has divorced Fan Hua, when will we set out for Jinzhou City?"

"We'll set off tomorrow."

Ever since Shi Wei knew that Fan Hua was the prince of Shengqing King, he felt uncomfortable staying in Fengyu Pavilion, and naturally hoped to leave as soon as possible.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm a little anxious. Although I've divorced Fan Hua, I still have friends here. After I leave this time, I don't know when I'll see them again. I want to say goodbye to them properly. Dad, can you leave two days later?"

Shi Wei thought for a moment and then agreed to her request.

At the same time, he also made a request, which was to let her live in Zhufeng Courtyard for the next two days instead of Huifengming Palace.

In order not to arouse suspicion from her father and brother, she had no choice but to agree.

The night is as dark as ink, falling quietly.

Fan Hua was in Fengming Palace and had not seen Shi Jin coming back from Zhufeng Courtyard for a long time. Zhilu was nowhere to be seen either, and his face became increasingly grim.

Guessing that she would not come back, he did not even bother with dinner and headed for the Wind Chasing Courtyard.
