Gu Cheng'an took a step back in disgust, breaking free from her grasp: "Love? You call this love? Drugging, deceiving, faking pregnancy, is this what you call love?"
"I admit I was wrong!" Du Ruoling cried, tears streaming down her face. "Give me one chance, just one! I promise I'll never do such a thing again!"
Song Ruyan shook her head as she watched, and couldn't help but interject, "You shameless woman, you're caught red-handed and still trying to argue."
"Shut up!" Du Ruoling shouted shrilly, her eyes filled with resentment. "You have no right to speak here!"
Song Ruyan shrugged, completely unconcerned: "Whether I'm right or not, you know in your heart."
Du Ruoling turned to Gu Cheng'an, got up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and suddenly became extremely calm: "Fine, you want to divorce me, is that right? Then let's divorce."
She sneered and picked up the letter of divorce: "But have you thought this through? Once this letter gets out, your reputation won't be any better. Divorce is a serious matter."
A hint of disgust flashed in Gu Cheng'an's eyes: "I never care about reputation. If others knew that I divorced a woman who had tricked me into marriage and even tried to drug her husband, they would only think that I did the right thing."
Du Ruoling was taken aback, then her face darkened: "Gu Cheng'an, do you really think you can leave cleanly after divorcing me? Let me tell you, it's not that easy!"
Dr. Qian tugged at Song Ruyan's sleeve and whispered, "Shouldn't we be going? This is their family matter..."
Song Ruyan shook off his hand: "Don't rush, this is so exciting, I need to see how it ends."
Gu Cheng'an ignored Du Ruoling's threats and turned to leave.
"Gu Cheng'an, you won't get rid of me!"
Gu Cheng'an's steps were unwavering, leaving behind Du Ruoling's heart-wrenching cries.
Song Ruyan and Doctor Qian exchanged a glance and then left as well.
"She's really insane," Song Ruyan exclaimed. "This woman is too scheming."
Dr. Qian sighed, "In the end, it was all for naught."
Song Ruyan glanced at him: "You talk like you have a lot of experience."
Dr. Qian blushed slightly, not daring to reply, and simply lowered his head and quickened his pace.
After leaving Du Ruoling's residence, Gu Cheng'an stood on the street, unsure of where to go next.
The military camp may be his only destination.
The soldiers at the city gate saw him and quickly saluted: "Lieutenant General!"
Gu Cheng'an nodded and spurred his horse straight toward the military camp.
From a distance, he saw several soldiers gathered together, seemingly chatting idly.
As he approached, the group immediately huddled together, shoulder to shoulder, exchanging winks and making faces.
"Hey, Deputy General Gu, you're back now. Did you manage to appease the princess?" a burly soldier asked with a grin.
Gu Cheng'an frowned, did not answer, and walked straight ahead.
"Some people don't know how lucky they are. They have wives but still covet other people's wives..." another soldier muttered under his breath, his eyes deliberately drifting towards Gu Cheng'an.
Gu Cheng'an paused slightly, but quickly resumed his normal pace.
"Pah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?" A burly man glanced at Gu Cheng'an and spat contemptuously.
They already know what Du Ruoling said when she came to the military camp that day—that her brother-in-law was eyeing his sister-in-law, which was despicable.
Gu Cheng'an finally stopped, coldly looked around, and finally his gaze landed on the few gossipy soldiers.
"Du Ruoling and I are divorced," he said calmly, and continued walking forward.
He didn't say "divorce his wife" because he was already mindful of the woman's pride.
The group looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"Divorce?" The burly soldier scratched his head, his mouth agape.
“If you get a divorce, you can have your way with her. The princess is as beautiful as a flower, and I like her.” A thin soldier suddenly squeezed through the crowd and shouted at Gu Cheng’an’s back.
Gu Cheng'an had already reached his tent, ignoring everything. He lifted the curtain and went inside, shutting out the noise from outside.
He can't control what others do.
"Hey, are you crazy? That princess is pregnant! You're eager to become her stepfather!" The skinny soldier's companion slapped him on the back of the head.
"Get lost, I was just saying," the skinny soldier retorted defiantly.
Inside the Zhenguo General's mansion, Gu Junze was keeping vigil by Chu Ruohan's bedside, accompanying her as she ate her meal.
"It's a bit bland." Chu Ruohan frowned and forced down a mouthful of fish soup.
Gu Junze chuckled: "You should eat light meals during postpartum confinement; greasy food is not good."
Chu Ruohan pouted: "I just want something flavorful."
"Just bear with it a little longer. Once you're out of confinement, I'll make whatever you want to eat," Gu Junze said affectionately.
Chu Ruohan looked at him with a teasing look in her eyes, "When did our Great General who protects the country even learn to cook?"
Gu Junze was somewhat embarrassed, so he just said it casually.
"I'll learn, I'll go learn in a little while."
Chu Ruohan chuckled. She simply couldn't imagine what Gu Junze would be like busy in the kitchen...
Just then, the door slammed shut, and Song Ruyan rushed in.
Yu Ling quickly closed the door. "Grandma, what are you doing? The young mistress is still in her postpartum period. The weather is cold; what if she catches a chill?"
Gu Junze's face also darkened. Before he could react, Song Ruyan rushed to the bedside and pushed him off the bed.
"Madam, let me tell you, Gu Cheng'an has divorced Du Ruoling..."
Chu Ruohan also learned about what had happened between Gu Cheng'an and Du Ruoling. Du Ruoling's mind has always been different from that of normal people, so it's understandable that she would do something like drugging someone.
Song Ruyan rattled off, mimicking Du Ruoling's actions, "She knelt on the ground, hugging Gu Cheng'an's leg, crying so pitifully... and even then she threatened Gu Cheng'an, telling him he could never get rid of her..."
Yu Ling was amused by her appearance. "Why are you going to join in the fun? Du Ruoling is crazy. If she holds a grudge against you, you won't have a peaceful day."
Song Ruyan put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm not afraid of her. If she dares to cause trouble, I'll beat her so badly that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her!"
Chu Ruohan nodded. Song Ruyan had a fiery temper and was quite skilled in martial arts, which was a good counter to Du Ruoling...
“Madam, let me tell you…” Song Ruyan wanted to continue, but Gu Junze’s face darkened even more. Unable to bear it any longer, he picked her up and kicked her out.
"Hey hey hey... I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"If you're so excited, go tell Dr. Qian not to disturb Han'er during her postpartum period..."
"Okay, okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
"It doesn't have to be..."
Inside the room, Chu Ruohan shook her head with a smile. Song Ruyan's personality...
