Chapter 42: Divorce
When something soft hit his chest, Si Yan's back suddenly stiffened. He subconsciously held Shen Ning's waist and squeezed it lightly.

Yeah, it feels just like in the dream.

Before he could come to his senses, the touch of the person in his arms disappeared. Shen Ning quickly stood firm, took a step back, his face full of panic.

Although she had had physical contact with Si Yan a long time ago, in her opinion, this Si Yan was not the same "Si Yan". The Si Yan who had the memories of both of them had disappeared. The Si Yan in front of her was more like a strange man.

Shen Ning's heart was pounding, and he had no intention of arguing with Luo Baizhi, so he just turned sideways and walked out.

After Shen Ning went out, Si Yan followed him without saying a word.

Although the two of them did not make any substantial progress, Luo Baizhi's face turned darker and darker. There was something wrong with Si Yan's eyes just now!

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

After thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea. The child in Shen Ning's belly is now her amulet, but at the same time, it is also her weakness.

*
As the sun set, Si Yan returned home. Not long after, Luo Baizhi came to find him.

For some reason, Si Yan felt a headache when he saw her. He restrained his expression and said, "What's the matter?"

Luo Baizhi had dressed up carefully today, and even the arc of her smile was carefully calculated, but Si Yan seemed not to notice it. Not to mention looking at her twice, his gaze didn't even linger on her.

Luo Baizhi complained to the system angrily: "Shen Ning just has a foxy face. Is Si Yan blind? Can't he see that she is more elegant?"

The system was speechless. It didn't know where Luo Baizhi got her confidence from. After a long while, it could only utter one sentence: [The key is that she looks like that, or D. ]

Luo Baizhi: ...

No wonder Si Yan had that look on his face after being bumped into in the morning.

Luo Baizhi silently despised Si Yan in her heart, and said with a breath held back: "I came to see Senior Brother today to help him solve his problems."

Si Yan really looked at her this time, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "What?"

Luo Baizhi cleared her throat, took out a piece of talisman paper and said, "I learned some secret techniques from a Taoist master a few years ago. I used the blood-transforming talisman paper to do a paternity test, and the accuracy rate is as high as 99%."

Si Yan frowned, obviously not understanding. Luo Baizhi quickly explained: "It can determine whether the child in this woman's belly is yours. Just take two drops of your blood and fuse them with this talisman paper, burn it into ashes, soak it in water and feed it to Shen Ning to drink. If the child is of the same bloodline as you, there will be no reaction. If not, the two bloodlines will repel each other and the pregnant woman will have a rejection reaction, vomiting or even worse."

"Her mother secretly got engaged to someone when she was young, and her sister is fickle. Who knows if she is that kind of person? I also feel sorry for my brother. If he raises a child for someone else, he will be a fool."

Si Yan felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart about Luo Baizhi's proposal. He was able to become a general and be granted the title of marquis by fighting with every sword and spear, not by relying on these unorthodox methods. Deep down, he did not believe in these things.

Si Yan did not directly answer Luo Baizhi's question, but asked: "You don't learn martial arts anymore, but dance with gods instead?"

Luo Baizhi choked: "I, what I learned is a bit miscellaneous, but it really works, brother, do you want to try it? It will definitely work."

Si Yan lowered his eyes, took the letter and stood up to leave, saying nonchalantly, "Let's talk about it later."

Luo Baizhi didn't give up, so she chased after him and said, "Then I'll take that as your consent."*
Luo Baizhi relied on her relationship with Si Yan and started to make arrangements on her own, regardless of whether he agreed or not.

To perform the ritual, one needs a decent set of robes, as well as a wooden altar, a magic sword, a hand chime, etc. In order to make the altar more formal, Luo Baizhi specially chose a spacious place and hung five-colored flags all around.

Those who didn't know would think she was exorcising a demon or catching a ghost. She made such a big noise that it naturally reached Shen Ning's ears.

Shen Ning looked at the thick smoke, wondering what she was up to, and asked Caiyun, "What does she want to do? Is she planning to burn down the general's mansion?"

Caiyun glanced at Shen Ning guiltily, and stammered, "It seems like he is burning incense."

Shen Ning has been with Caiyun for so many years, and he felt something was wrong when he saw her eyes: "Are you hiding something from me? What's wrong?"

Although Caiyun was very angry about Luo Baizhi's behavior, she didn't want to make Shen Ning angry. However, she hesitated for a while and finally told the whole story: "They said that the baby in the lady's belly might not be the general's, and they want to confirm whether it is the general's flesh and blood through a ritual."

Caiyun started to cry as she spoke, lowering her head and choking with sobs, "They are too much of a bully, Miss, don't be angry, no matter what method they use, the truth will never be false."

Shen Ning's face instantly lost color, and he asked in disbelief, "Did Si Yan tell him to do this?"

Caiyun shook her head: "Not sure."

Even without her saying it, Shen Ning already had the answer in his heart. It must be that, otherwise how could Luo Baizhi dare to make such a fuss.

She sneered, the light in her eyes gradually faded, and she muttered, "Luo Baizhi has bad intentions. No matter what method she uses, there is only one result."

Caiyun panicked: "What should I do then?"

After the disappointment, Shen Ning calmed down instead. She sat at the table with a calm face, sorted out the things in front of her, and slowly said: "Bring me paper and pen."

*
When Shen Ning found Si Yan with the divorce papers, Si Yan felt like he had been slapped in the face. Shen Ning's move was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority as the head of the family.

Shen Ning had a cold expression on his face and said in a tone that couldn't be more calm: "Since you don't believe the child is yours, just divorce us. We should part ways and owe nothing to each other. And don't suspect who arranged me to be a spy."

Si Yan sneered, then stood up and faced Shen Ning across the table. He supported himself with both hands on the table. His broad shoulders and tall stature brought a lot of pressure to Shen Ning.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Si Yan. She thought that since he was so tired of her now, divorce should not be difficult. She had also come to terms with it. There was no point in turning the tide. As long as she could live a good life, that was enough. Her sister had already lived in seclusion in the mountains, and her brother was disobedient. She might as well take her mother to hide away in peace.

Just throw away the pot and forget about it. No matter what the fight for the throne is, it has nothing to do with her. If she can't win, just lie down and love whoever she wants.

But Si Yan's next words really surprised her. Si Yan said coldly, "What's this new trick? You're trying to resist but you're also trying to welcome me?"

Si Yan walked out from behind the table holding the divorce papers, and approached Shen Ning step by step. Shen Ning noticed that he looked unhappy and backed away.

Si Yan tightened his fingertips, rubbing the piece of paper into his palm bit by bit, and said sinisterly: "You can challenge me with this, you know."
