Chapter 122 I, Lin Siqiong, will not divorce, only lose my husband

Shen Qingmo has always been trying to minimize his presence.

Especially after seeing Lin Yan being demoted one after another, he wished he could disappear right away, for fear that the emperor would notice him.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, he thought he had escaped, but he never expected that Lin Yan would mention him in public.

Lin Yan definitely did it on purpose1

Shen Qingmo hated Lin Yan to death, but the emperor had already called him, so no matter how unwilling he was, he could only walk over and kneel down beside Lin Yan.

As soon as he knelt down, Shen Qingmo bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

The emperor especially enjoyed this kind of dog-eat-dog drama, so he was in no hurry to leave. He smiled and said, "Speak!"

Shen Qingmo kowtowed again.

After standing up, he slowly spoke.

“Although Lin Siqiong and I are husband and wife, everyone in the capital knows that we have only seen each other a few times since we got married.

Lin Siqiong has been living in the Lin family with her daughter, and I have not married into the family, but my daughter has taken Lin Siqiong's surname, Lin.

All these things only show one thing: Lin Siqiong has never regarded me as her husband, and the Lin family has never taken me, a child from a poor family, seriously.

Recently, Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli have been making mistakes one after another, and I am extremely disappointed in them.

Since there is no love between us, it is better to separate.

I, Your Majesty, beg you to allow me and Lin Siqiong to divorce!"

Before Shen Qingmo spoke, everyone thought that Shen Qingmo was going to defend himself.

But unexpectedly, Shen Qingmo actually asked for a divorce directly!

The emperor stared at Shen Qingmo in silence.

The eyes of all the officials were also on Shen Qingmo.

Although no one spoke at the scene, Shen Qingmo had already heard thousands of words in his ears.

Of course he knew that this action would make people think he was heartless and disloyal.

But so what?

Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli have been defeated again and again, but they are still unwilling to admit defeat. There will definitely be more trouble in the future.

If they don't divorce, he will only be implicated by the mother and daughter.

Think about it, Shen Qingmo was born in a poor family. He studied hard for more than ten years and passed the imperial examinations before finally achieving what he has today.

How could he be reduced to his original form because of these two mother and daughter?

Shen Qingmo bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, Lin Siqiong and I have been separated since we got married and have never had any feelings for each other. I only ask Your Majesty to grant us a divorce!"

I've only ever heard of people asking the emperor to grant a marriage, but this is the first time I've seen someone asking the emperor to grant a divorce.

Chen Qingmo is indeed a scholar, he knows so many tricks!

The emperor looked at Shen Qingmo deeply and said, "Marriage is the will of two people, and divorce naturally depends on the will of both parties. Lin Siqiong, Shen Qingmo wants to divorce you, what do you say?"

Hearing this, Lin Siqiong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears rolled down her face. She looked like a little white flower being weathered by a storm, weak, pitiful and helpless.

"I......"

Lin Siqiong only said this one word before tears started streaming down her face. She was choked with sobs and couldn't utter another word.

Lin Siqiong didn't say anything, but Lin Ruoli couldn't help it.

Lin Ruoli looked at Shen Qingmo, "Father! Do you know what you are saying? How can you divorce your mother?"

Shen Qingmo looked indifferent, "This is a matter between your mother and me. You are just a child, don't worry about it."

"Why can't I intervene?" Lin Ruoli said sharply, "You are my father, how could you leave us at this time? Didn't you say before that we would be together as a family forever? Why did you suddenly change now?"

Shen Qingmo took a deep breath, his eyes instantly reddened. "It's not me who has changed, it's you and your mother who have changed. I don't even recognize you anymore. You lied, cheated, and even tried to murder people... Break up. I can't control you. Do whatever you want in the future!"

He seemed to be really tired. After saying this, he closed his eyes tiredly.

The emperor had seen enough of the drama, and only then did he slowly say, "Whether you divorce or not is your business, I don't care. But now, you haven't divorced yet, and they made a mistake, so you, as a husband and a father, have the responsibility.

Shen Qingmo was demoted two ranks and fined two years' salary for not managing his household properly.

After leaving behind these cold and ruthless words, the emperor flicked his sleeves and left.

Chu Huaixu took the initiative to hold Yu Youning's hand, "Youning, let's go too!"

Yu Youning did not struggle and let Chu Huaixu hold her hand and leave with him.

"You two, wait for me!"

Huo Qingchen said this and chased after him, holding his sword.

Wei Zhao looked at the three people's departing backs, his eyes full of reluctance, but there was no way he could catch up with them.

The Nanzhao delegation was still watching closely from the side, and it would not be of any benefit to the three of them if he caught up with them at this time.

He was already deeply involved in it, and there was no need to implicate the three of them.

Wei Zhao withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Master Gou, this prince is also tired. Let's go!"

Lord Gou couldn't ask for more.

He was still waiting to return to the post station to inquire about Wei Zhao's progress in the competition.

Wei Zhao must give him a reasonable explanation as to how those four people died!

After the emperor and others left, all the officials naturally dispersed as well.

Soon, only a few people from the Lin Mansion and Shen Qingmo were left here.

Lin Siqiong wiped the tears from her face and looked at Shen Qingmo with a sarcastic expression, "You want to divorce me?"

Shen Qingmo's expression was unnatural for a moment, but he quickly said, "I'm thinking about divorce for the sake of both of us. Otherwise, I would have written a divorce letter directly."

"Heh." Lin Siqiong sneered, "You still want to divorce me? What qualifications do you have to divorce me? Don't forget how you got to where you are now. It's not possible that after so much time and so many lies, even you think that you got your current position because of your talent and knowledge, right?"

When Shen Qingmo heard this, his face turned ashen in an instant, his lips tightly pursed, but he couldn't say a word.

Lin Siqiong stood up and walked to Shen Qingmo step by step. She bent down and approached Shen Qingmo, and said coldly in his ear, "Shen Qingmo, when we got married, I told you that if you marry me, don't even think about leaving me in this life.

I, Lin Siqiong, will not divorce, only lose my husband. If you truly feel you've had enough of life, just tell me and I will definitely fulfill your wish."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Qingmo to react, she stood up straight and pulled Lin Ruoli up from the ground, "Li'er, let's go."

Lin Ruoli hesitated, "Mother, but father—"

"Your father just lost his mind. Don't worry about what he said. Let's go first."

"Can--"

Lin Siqiong let go of Lin Ruoli's hand, her eyes turned cold, "But what?"

Lin Ruoli was startled by the look, her body trembling slightly, but she didn't dare to hesitate or refute any more. She quickly lowered her head and said, "No, it's nothing. I'll go with my mother now."

Lin Siqiong didn't say anything, turned around and left first, and Lin Ruoli hurriedly followed behind.

Only after seeing the mother and daughter leave did Lin Yan relax.

But when he relaxed, he sat down on the ground in embarrassment.

Over the years, he has always felt that Lin Siqiong is gentle and quiet, well-behaved and obedient, and has never dared to disobey him.

But until just now, when he heard her speaking to Shen Qingmo in a cold and arrogant voice and saw her frosty eyes, he finally realized that he had never really understood Lin Siqiong!

Lin Yan looked at Shen Qingmo and saw that Shen Qingmo was also sitting on the ground in a mess, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

“Chen Qingmo.”

Shen Qingmo suddenly turned around and glared at Lin Yan, "Master Lin, what else do you want to say?"

If Lin Yan hadn't suddenly mentioned him in front of the emperor, he wouldn't have been demoted!

Lin Yan didn't care about Shen Qingmo's attitude. "You don't have to hate me so much. I have no choice. You were only demoted two levels, but I lost the title passed down from my ancestors."

Hearing Lin Yan say this, Shen Qingmo didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two of them seemed to be more miserable than each other...

"Si Qiong... Has she always been so strong in front of you?"

Hearing Lin Yan ask such a question, Shen Qingmo smiled silently, and his smile was very ironic.

"I guess you two are the only ones who think Lin Siqiong is a weak and helpless little white flower. She has never been a good person. But -"

Chen Qingmo's lips curled up, "The reason why she is like this is inseparable from the training of you two. You are probably asking for trouble! She will not let me go, and she will definitely not let you go. Lord Lin, take care!"

Leaving these words behind, Shen Qingmo strode away.

But when he got on the carriage, Shen Qingmo's expression changed again.

Lin Siqiong is like a madman now, and he has no idea what Lin Siqiong will do next.

If he continued to stay in the capital, he would probably be implicated and killed by Lin Siqiong sooner or later.

Since there is no way to get a divorce and he can't divorce his wife, then he should just move away first!

Be sent out for three years and see how things go.

If the situation doesn't improve after three years, then I'll be sent away for another three years!

After figuring it out, Shen Qingmo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go to Changping Lane."

The driver responded and drove the carriage towards Changping Lane.

Changping Lane is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, which is very suitable for hiding a beautiful woman.

Shen Qingmo married a second wife four years ago and settled her here.

The second wife is beautiful, has a hot body, but has a charming and lovely personality.

In the second year of their relationship, they had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

The twins, a boy and a girl, are already three years old. Although they are not child prodigies and don’t know many things, they are both well-behaved and cute.

Every time he came here, Chen Qingmo could let go of his tiredness, with his lovely wife in his arms and his children by his side, and enjoy the happiness of family.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Qingmo's mouth curled up involuntarily.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Qingmo couldn't wait to get off the carriage, walked to the door and knocked.

But after just a light knock, the door opened.

Shen Qingmo's heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that something was wrong.
