Chapter 373: Let’s Divorce!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qu Yuanxian was talented and honest. Unfortunately, Madam Qu was too manipulative.

Even if she was not deliberately abusing his power for personal gain, it was actually a form of corruption and bribery for her to accept benefits from others.

With these past mistakes, it was really not a good choice for Qu Yuanxian to become an official.

However, if she could restrain Madam Qu, Qu Yuanxian’s character was still very worthy of being assigned heavy responsibility.

Bai Wutong said bluntly, “Since Master Qu wants it, ask him to come and look for me.”

Madam Qu was overjoyed. Just as she was about to thank Bai Wutong, Bai Wutong reminded her, “Madam Qu, you can’t give away honey and lingzhi casually.

In an instant, Madam Qu’s face turned pale, and the smile on her lips tightened.

Bai Wutong was warning her that there was something wrong with her way of doing things.

Madam Qu stammered and wanted to explain that she was only concerned about her health. But Bai Wutong had already left without giving her any face.

Madam Qu was embarrassed and resentful. She returned to the tent and wanted to throw a tantrum. Thinking that there were dark guards around and she might be discovered by Bai Wutong, she forcefully endured it.

Qu Yuanxian chatted with his teachers and Senior Brothers for a while. When he returned to the tent, he realized that his wife was sitting by the bed and sulking. He walked up and asked with concern, “What’s wrong with my wife?”

Qu Yuanxian’s heart ached that Madam Qu was willing to come to the southern frontier to suffer with him. Even though Madam Qu had many small problems, he still doted on her deeply.

Madam Qu put away her grievance and said to Qu Yuanxian, “The Consort said that she wants to confer you an official position and asked you to look for her.”

She thought to herself that since she had already suffered, Qu Yuanxian should all the more earn the official position.

When she became the wife of an official, no one would be able to show her nasty looks again.

Qu Yuanxian was very surprised. “The Consort really said that?”

It was not that Qu Yuanxian did not want to become an official, but because the Consort had a feud with Madam Qu before. When he saw that others had been appointed as officials, he felt quite upset.

However, he had been collating teaching materials with Yang Quanzi and the others recently. Thinking of how he was determined to become an outstanding teacher when he was dismissed, Qu Yuanxian was relieved. He worked hard to organize the teaching materials and found his target again.

Now that Bai Wutong suddenly wanted to appoint him to an official position, he could not help but be a little puzzled. ‘ftvo days ago, Bai Wutong was still praising them for sorting out the textbooks and information. She did not show any intention of letting him become an official.

Madam Qu insisted, “It’s absolutely true. Hurry up and go!”

Qu Yuanxian believed her for the time being. After leaving the tent, he found a servant to ask about Madam Qu’s recent movements.

After learning from the servants that Madam Qu had begged to see Bai Wutong previously, his heart skipped a beat. He lowered his eyes and walked towards Bai Wutong.

When Qu Yuanxian saw Bai Wutong, he immediately apologised.

“My wife has made a grave mistake. Please forgive her, Consort.”

Madam Qu must have gone to Bai Wutong to ask her to give him an official position.

Even he was very disgusted with pulling strings, let alone Bai Wutong. She was probably even angrier.

Since Bai Wutong had let Madam Qu go back, she had no intention of pursuing the matter.

‘What do you plan to do in the future, Master Qu?”

Bai Wutong did not pursue Madam Qu’s rudeness. Qu Yuanxian heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt down. “l want to work with Teacher and the others to nurture more useful people to serve the Imperial Court.”

Few people could give up on power and authority.

Bai Wutong didn’t know ifwhat he said was true or not, so she said bluntly, “If Master Qu wants to serve the people, you can participate in the official examination in August.”

Bai Wutong let him take the official examination in August to show that she still supported him being an official.

However, Bai Wutong did not directly appoint him. It was obvious that she was worried about Madam Qu ‘s actions.

Qu Yuanxian loved Madam Qu. Thinking of Madam Qu’s way of doing things when he was an official and that he might not be able to control her, Qu Yuanxian’s remaining thoughts faded.

Qu Yuanxian said respectfully, “Thank you for your pointers, Consort. I am more interested in teaching. I’ve already signed up for the teaching test in

June.”

How could life be perfect? Bai Wutong respected everyone’s decision. “Master

Qu will definitely deserve it.”

Qu Yuanxian composed himself and left the tent.

Madam Qu was waiting outside. When she saw Qu Yuanxian appear, she said excitedly, “The Consort has given you an official position? How many people are you managing? Are there as many as the 30 families of Qinghe?”

Qu Yuanxian glanced at Madam Qu with a strange expression and sighed deeply. “Madam, let’s go back first. ‘

When Madam Qu heard his tone, her heart skipped a beat. She felt that Bai Wutong definitely did not give Qu Yuanxian a good official position.

After returning to their own tent, Madam Qu asked again, “When are you taking office?”

Madam Qu was so anxious that she couldn’t wait for him to become a high-ranking official, making Qu Yuanxian’s already heavy heart even heavier. He also felt that his choice just now was right. He was also lucky that he had killed Madam Qu ‘s greed before it got bigger.

He said in a deep voice, “Madam, I just want to be a qualified teacher. That’s all

I want in my life. Madam, don’t say anything else anymore.”

In an instant, Madam Qu was petrified. She lowered her head and spoke to Bai Wutong. But Qu Yuanxian actually told her that he only wanted to be an ordinary teacher. Then why should she suffer such humiliation!!!

Madam Qu said in disbelief, “Didn’t you say back then that you wanted to be a

good official and benefit the people of the world?”

Qu Yuanxian originally did not want to say anything, but Madam Qu was relentless and even openly questioned Bai Wutong. “Is it because she hates me that she’s unwilling to let you become an official!!!”

Her ferocious face and angry expression were completely different from the gentle and virtuous Madam in Qu Yuanxian’s memories.

Qu Yuanxian said weakly, “No, it’s because I’m no longer suitable to be an official..

Madam Qu roared angrily, ‘What do you mean by not suitable? If you’re not suitable, who else is? The country bumpkins? She’s deliberately humiliating

Qu Yuanxian hurriedly covered Madam Qu’s mouth and said the most grave sentence in his life.

‘Yuling, you’re with me because you want to become an official’s wife? So that you can use your power as an official’s wife to bully others and show off?”

The walls had ears, let alone a tent. If anyone heard it, no one would be able to save Madam Qu.

Qu Yuanxian was also very anxious, causing him to say this. After saying that, he met Madam Qu’s disbelieving and heartbroken gaze and regretted it again.

‘Yuling, I…”

Madam Qu was selfish, but she was not as unbearable as Qu Yuanxian said. She pointed at Qu Yuanxian shakily, her tears falling. “So that’s how you see

“You’re such a good person! I’m doing this for your own good, but this is my outcome!’

“I left our son and came all the way to the southern frontier with you. I begged others for you and tried my best to talk to her. I didn’t complain even if I lost face.”

“Yet you’re treating me like this! You’re such a heartless person!”

Madam Qu was extremely angry and roared as if she was venting her anger. Qu Yuanxian was in pain and guilt as he hugged her. “1 was wrong. Yuling, forgive me. I spoke without thinking! ‘

Madam Qu shook him off. “Let’s divorce! I am leaving this godforsaken place now.. I’ve had enough!”
