Dai Hao Divorces His Wife
The White Tiger Duke Mansion's Mansion covers a vast area, with pavilions, towers, carved beams, and painted rafters, displaying an extraordinary grandeur.
The mansion was usually filled with servants, always surrounded by attendants, exuding the dignity and decorum of a prominent family.
As the Duchess White Tiger, Zhu Yunqing had many servants around her, and she was always followed wherever she went, ready to be at their beck and call.
Now, everything around is empty.
The servants were all dismissed; not even one was left to serve tea or water.
Only Dai Hao and Zhu Yunqing were in the room.
Zhu Yunqing was no longer as elegant as before; her well-maintained face was now contorted with rage.
She pointed a trembling finger at Dai Hao across from her, her voice so shrill it almost ripped the roof off. "You... you actually want to divorce me?!"
That's right. Dai Hao returned to the Duke Mansion today and dismissed the servants around him, just to tell Zhu Yunqing... he wanted to divorce his wife!
Dai Hao's face was also grim; his resolute features were so dark they seemed to drip water.
If it weren't for what Zhu Yunqing did, how could the White Tiger Clan have lost such a peerless genius?
That child was already capable of fighting Soul Douluo at the age of twelve; his future achievements are limitless.
If he can return to his family, what worries could there be about the White Tiger Lineage not prospering?
He, the White Tiger Duke, would never suffer such humiliation at Star Luo Square, where he was forced to unleash his Martial Soul Avatar in front of tens of thousands of people by his own son, and then publicly suppressed by the Dean of Shrek Academy.
The root of all this is this woman in front of us.
His tone was devoid of any emotion as he calmly stated, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."
Although Zhu Yunqing did not go to Star Luo Square to watch the game, she had her own sources of information.
She knew that Huo Yuhao was no longer someone she could touch.
That boy now has Shrek Academy standing behind him, and even the emperor has to give him some face.
She also knew that Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor had promised to give Huo Yuhao an explanation.
But she still harbored a glimmer of hope.
She felt that as the eldest daughter of the Zhu Clan, she had the entire Zhu Clan backing her up.
She felt that she had given birth to Dai Hao's children and managed the household for so many years, and even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, she had certainly worked hard.
She felt that even if she did something wrong, she would only be scolded and confined for a while; there wouldn't be any real punishment.
But clearly, she was wrong.
In the end, what she received was a letter of divorce from the White Tiger Duke!
Hearing Dai Hao's words, she sneered, her well-maintained face filled with madness.
She laughed hysterically, tears streaming down her face. "Hahaha, what a fine White Tiger Duke is, saying I did something wrong?"
She suddenly looked up, her gaze piercing Dai Hao like a knife.
"Since Huo Yun'er became pregnant, have you paid her any attention? Have you sent anyone to check on her and the child? Do you even know what kind of life they're living in the manor?"
Her voice grew louder and sharper. "If Huo Yuhao hadn't become a genius at the Shrek Academy, you probably wouldn't even remember him and his mother, would you?"
She paused, her chest heaving violently.
"What? You think you can pin everything on me with just a few words? No way!"
Seeing his once gentle wife now acting like a shrew, Dai Hao frowned slightly.
A flicker of disgust crossed that resolute face.
He didn't want to say another word to this woman; he couldn't be bothered to listen to a single utterance.
"This matter is settled." His voice was as cold as the winter wind. "You have one day. Tomorrow... get out of the White Tiger Duke Mansion!"
Seeing Dai Hao's resolute expression, Zhu Yunqing shouted again, "You really dare to divorce me?!"
"The Dai and Zhu families have been allied through marriage for millennia. If you divorce me, my brother will never agree! From now on, our two families will have no further connection!"
She thought that by bringing up the Zhu Clan and the greater good of the marriage alliance between the two clans, she could make Dai Hao back down.
She assumed that her brother, the head of the Zhu Clan family, would definitely stand by her side.
She thought that this marriage alliance that had lasted for thousands of years couldn't be broken off by Dai Hao alone.
Hearing Zhu Yunqing's fierce yet cowardly shouts, Dai Hao simply said, "Zhu Yunhao has already agreed. Divorcing you won't affect the relationship between the two clans."
This matter was decided under Xu Jiawei's coordination, and Zhu Yunhao naturally had no objections.
Which is more important, a younger sister or a genius who could potentially become Super Douluo?
Zhu Yunhao, the head of the Zhu Clan family, understood this better than anyone else.
As long as Huo Yuhao doesn't perish, he will at least become a Super Douluo in the future.
Sacrificing a younger sister to avoid the jealousy of a Super Douluo seems like a win-win situation.
In these large families, bloodlines are sometimes the least valuable thing.
Self-interest is the only constant.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunqing's expression changed instantly.
The arrogance on his face, the madness and resentment in his eyes, the hysterical screams...
At that moment, they all vanished completely.
She had lost her previous arrogance, and her recent madness.
Her body went limp, as if all the strength had been drained from her legs, and she collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were vacant, staring blankly ahead, her lips trembling as she muttered, "How could this be? How could this be?"
Zhu Yunqing had already guessed her fate.
Dai Hao's letter of divorce not only kicked her out of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
The Zhu Clan probably wouldn't welcome her either!
Dai Hao glanced expressionlessly at Zhu Yunqing on the ground, then turned and left the room.
His steps were steady and without the slightest hesitation. His tall figure paused briefly at the door frame before disappearing outside.
Stepping outside, the two brothers, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, were standing obediently to one side.
Their faces showed a mixture of apprehension and unease, clearly indicating that they had overheard the argument that had just taken place inside the house.
Dai Yueheng's expression was complicated; his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
He knew he had no right to speak on this matter.
Suddenly, Dai Huabin stepped forward and knelt down in front of Dai Hao with a thud.
His knees slammed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.
"Father!" His voice trembled with tears, his eyes already red. "Please don't send Mother away! Everything that happened was my fault. I can go to Huo Yuhao and apologize. I can kowtow to him. I can..."
Dai Hao glanced coldly at his son, his eyes showing no pity, no tenderness, only indifference.
He interrupted Dai Huabin: "If you want to go with your mother, then leave the Duke Mansion together."
One sentence struck Dai Huabin like a thunderbolt.
He froze on the spot, his expression frozen in that moment.
His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, as he stared at his father in disbelief.
He never expected that the man he had admired since childhood, the father he had always wanted to surpass, would say such heartless words.
Dai Hao snorted, no longer looking at Dai Huabin kneeling on the ground, and walked away.
His footsteps echoed in the corridor, each one striking a chord in the hearts of the two brothers.
However, another sentence followed, spoken calmly yet with an undeniable air of authority.
"From this day forward, Yueheng is the heir apparent of the Duke Mansion."
Dai Yueheng's expression remained unchanged.
He knew this day would come sooner or later; he knew it from the moment Huo Yuhao shouted those words in Star Luo Square.
He just hadn't expected his father to be so ruthless.
Dai Huabin, however, remained kneeling on the ground with a blank expression, not getting up for Jiujiu.
His father's words kept echoing in his mind... "Yueheng is the heir of the Duke Mansion."
He knew that his position as heir apparent... was gone!
