Chapter 193 Dai Hao Divorces His Wife
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion covers a vast area, with pavilions, towers, carved beams, and painted rafters, displaying an extraordinary grandeur.
The mansion usually had many servants, with attendants following behind, exuding the dignity and etiquette of a prominent family.
As the Duchess of Baihu, Zhu Yunqing had many servants around her, and she was always accompanied by people who were at her beck and call.
Now, everything around is empty.
The servants were all dismissed, not even a single 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 seemed to tear the roof apart: "You...you actually want to divorce me?!"
That's right. Dai Hao returned to the Duke's 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 the things Zhu Yunqing did, how could the White Tiger Clan have lost such a peerless genius?
That child was already capable of fighting a Soul Douluo at the age of twelve; his future achievements are limitless.
If he can return to his family, how could the White Tiger lineage not prosper?
He, the White Tiger Duke, would not suffer such humiliation at Star Luo Square, where he was forced to unleash his Martial Soul True Form in front of tens of thousands of people by his own son, and then publicly suppressed by the Dean of Shrek Academy.
The source 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 Xingluo 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 Xingluo 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 family, she had the entire Zhu family 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 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 Duke of White Tiger!
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 Duke of the White Tiger 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 even a glance? 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 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 hint of disgust flashed across that resolute face.
He didn't want to say another word to this woman, and he couldn't be bothered to listen to a single word.
"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's 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 family 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 family, would definitely stand by her side.
She thought that this marriage alliance that had lasted for thousands of years could not be broken off by Dai Hao alone.
Hearing Zhu Yunqing's fierce but cowardly shouts, Dai Hao simply said, "Zhu Yunhao has already agreed, and divorcing you will not 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 very well become a Super Douluo in the future?
Zhu Yunhao, the head of the Zhu 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 is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
In these large families, bloodlines are sometimes the least valuable thing.
Self-interest is the only thing that lasts forever.
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 was no longer as arrogant as before, nor as crazy as she had just been.
Her body went limp, her legs seemed to have all their strength drained away, 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's Mansion.
The Zhu family 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's 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 the hearts of the two brothers.
However, another sentence followed, spoken calmly yet with an undeniable air of authority.
"From this day forward, Yaoheng will be the heir apparent of the Duke's 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 Xingluo 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 a long time.
His father's words kept echoing in his mind... "Yueheng is the heir of the Duke's mansion."
He knew that his position as heir apparent... was gone!
