Chapter 223 You Don’t Deserve It

Wang Jianan, did he invite them in not to reconcile and persuade them, but to divorce? Moreover, he was required to sever ties with the son born to Wang Shuangqing, and was not allowed to visit him again, let alone claim to be the father.

This is simply too much!

Qin Shangzhi suppressed his anger and bowed to Wang Jianan, "Father-in-law, I don't want to divorce. Although I am not talented, I am sincere to Qing'er. How can you persuade me to divorce Qing'er?"

"Qing'er and I have been married for several years and we are deeply in love. However, we just had some disagreements over trivial matters, which is far from a divorce. But my father-in-law is so anxious for me to sign the divorce papers. Could it be that my father-in-law wants to kick me out of the house because he sees that I am now in such a bad state? If so, I will really go to the emperor to ask him if there is such a reason in the world!"

"Besides, whether to divorce or not also depends on the opinions of my son-in-law and Qing'er. I would like to trouble my father-in-law to ask someone to invite Qing'er out. I will ask Qing'er in person what she thinks."

As long as Wang Shuangqing came forward, Qin Shangzhi believed that with his own abilities and years of relationship as husband and wife, he would be able to make her change her mind.

"Sign it." Wang Jianan repeated.

Qin Shangzhi's expression turned stern, and he was also very angry, "My father-in-law is trying to break up the lovers!"

"Father-in-law, you are in a high position, so you think you can do whatever you want?"

When Wang Jianan saw Qin Shangzhi like this, a hint of impatience flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes, and even a hint of mockery appeared at the corners of his mouth.

I don’t say more to you, not because I’m afraid of you, but because I think you are not worthy of it.

This Qin Shangzhi really thinks he is a big shot.

Standing up, Wang Jianan paced a few steps in front of Qin Shangzhi, "During your tenure as prefect, in March of the year before last, you took advantage of the opportunity to embezzle more than 10,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Works to repair the riverbank for your own use. In September of the same year, two families in the area under your jurisdiction had a dispute over a marriage, which resulted in a death. You took 3,000 taels of silver, hastily closed the case, and let the murderer go unpunished, causing the victim to die in depression."

"If I had disclosed these two things to the Ministry of Personnel and the current emperor, your current fate would not just be dismissed and reprimanded, but you should be imprisoned and exiled to the northwest."

Qin Shangzhi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

He believed that he had done things secretly at the time, and that everything had been properly arranged, and that all the officials involved had not had any problems until now, so he always thought that the matter was over and no one knew anything about it anymore.

I never thought that Wang Jianan was so clear-sighted and knew so many details.

The current court laws clearly state that the emperor hates corruption, and anyone who embezzles more than 5,000 taels will be imprisoned and exiled, and anyone who embezzles more than 50,000 taels will be beheaded. His 20,000 taels of silver are enough to get him exiled to the northwest, never to return.

Not to mention the disregard for human life and the exoneration of murderers...

Seeing Qin Shangzhi's pale face, Wang Jianan snorted coldly, "If you don't want the memorial stating these two things to appear in front of His Majesty tomorrow, then sign this divorce letter, put your fingerprints on it, take your good mother and good cousin, and leave far away. You are not allowed to set foot in the capital again! Otherwise, His Majesty will punish you, but my Wang family will not let it go!"

"My Wang family has been loyal for generations. My father has been a minister for three dynasties and has some face in front of the emperor. I accidentally killed three people. I think the current emperor will not do anything. He will just fine us a few months' salary and ignore us for a few months to appease the public anger. When everyone forgets about this matter, my Wang family will still be loyal to the emperor and it will not affect us at all."

"You should think carefully about what is more important. However, I have always been impatient and impatient. Your mother and cousin are in the Qionghua Garden. I have already given orders that if I do not give orders within an incense stick of time, they will be thrown into the mountains to die on their own."

"She's just a cousin. I don't think you, Qin Shangzhi, would care. But the widowed mother who raised you... You have always considered yourself a filial son. I don't think you would want to be known as someone who abandoned your mother."

Wang Jianan put his hands behind his back and said, "At this moment, half an incense stick of time has passed."

A servant brought up some tea. Wang Jianan took a cup and drank it slowly.

The top-quality Biluochun tea was full of fragrance, but Qin Shangzhi found it extremely bitter.

He has now been demoted one after another. Since he lost his official position, he has spent a lot of money on bribery. Most of the money he had embezzled has already been spent, and it is difficult for his family to make a living.

The reason why he came to the capital this time to look for Wang Shuangqing was not only to regain his official position, but also to continue to enjoy the various subsidies from the Wang family and Wang Shuangqing's dowry.

But now they were going to get a divorce, and all their plans had gone in vain, so Qin Shangzhi naturally refused.

But if he refused, his life would be in danger, including the lives of Zhao and Zhao Yunchu...

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The Wang family is prosperous now, but it is not impossible for them to decline. Although his Qin family is a small family now, he is still young. Don't look down on the poor young man...

After thinking quickly in his mind, Qin Shangzhi grabbed the brush on the tray, dipped it in ink, and wrote his name neatly on the divorce letter. After the ink dried, he pressed the vermilion seal on it.

Wang Jianan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the divorce letter and looked at it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he raised his hand.

A servant came over and said, "Please come in."

After the falling out, they didn't even show the proper etiquette for treating guests!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Qin Shangzhi angrily waved his sleeves and followed the servant away angrily.

Here, the maid who received the letter led Zhao and Zhao Yunchu out.

The aunt and niece originally thought that Zhou had found some clean clothes for them and was going to take them to bathe and change clothes, so they followed happily.

As a result, they didn't walk far before they reached a corner door. The maid opened the door and pushed the two of them out.

"What are you doing! I am the mother-in-law of your master Wang!" Zhao shouted, clinging to the door frame and refusing to leave.

Two strong servants simply lifted Zhao up and threw her out like a sack.

After Zhao rolled on the ground twice like a wheel, Madam Li spat and said, "My young lady has divorced Qin Shangzhi. The divorce has been signed. The two families have no relationship anymore. Get away quickly, or else don't blame the servant for arresting you as a thief!"

Qin Shangzhi signed the divorce agreement?

Zhao and Zhao Yunchu were both stunned, and then became angry.

How could they sign the divorce agreement? Without the Wang family, how could the Qin family survive? The aunt and niece were angry when they saw Qin Shangzhi looking for them.

Zhao walked forward and gave Qin Shangzhi a loud slap in the face!

"Mom." Qin Shangzhi stood there in a daze, covering his burning cheeks.

I miscalculated the generations before. Zhao and Zhao Yunchu have the same surname, so they should be aunt and niece. Therefore, Zhao is Zhao Yunchu's aunt. The previous title of aunt has been revised~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
