Chapter 1 Divorce

"Ruan has been married into the Qi Mansion for three years and not only has she not had any children, she is also seriously ill and unable to manage the Qi Mansion. What's wrong with me divorcing her?"

"Besides, I only demoted my wife to a concubine and married Wan'er. Wan'er is the current fifth princess, how can she be a concubine?"

"Since Ruan doesn't want to be my concubine, then I can only divorce her!" The handsome man in a blue robe threw a divorce letter to the ground, which brought the dazed Ruan Mian back to his senses.

She looked at the divorce letter on the ground in shock, her brain working rapidly. She...she was in a book?

What she saw before her was no longer a terrifying, ugly monster, but a novel she had read before the monster came.

The cannon fodder female supporting role, Ruan Mian, has the same name as her and was killed by Xiu at the beginning.

The original owner's misery was caused by the man in front of her.

After the original owner died, the Ruan family was falsely accused and exiled. Her father, who loved her so much, died of anger that night.

The eldest brother was taken to the Sky Prison and cut into pieces.

My second sister was humiliated by officials and died with hatred in her heart.

My mother starved to death for my eldest brother's child...

Thinking about her family's miserable situation, Ruan Mian couldn't help but feel violent. If the timing wasn't wrong, she would have definitely killed the man in front of her.

Seeing Ruan Mian didn't react, the man grabbed her collar viciously and said, "I'm telling you, since you don't want to be my concubine, then get out of the Qi Mansion. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Ruan Mian snorted coldly, picked up the divorce letter and tore it into pieces.

Everyone present widened their eyes as they saw her staring coldly at Qi Nanfeng.

"On the day we got married, you and your father left the Qi Mansion. Half a month later, news of your death reached us. It wasn't until you returned home yesterday that I realized you had faked your death."

"Before I even had time to be happy, you started blaming me for not having a child for three years."

"Let me ask everyone here, if I really give birth to a child, won't your Qi family become the biggest joke in the capital?"

She ignored Qi Nanfeng's vicious gaze and continued, "I believe I've been married into the Qi Mansion for three years, taking care of my mother-in-law, helping my brothers, and keeping the Qi Mansion in good order."

"As soon as you came back, you wanted to marry the princess and demote my wife to a concubine. This is your fault, what does it have to do with me? If you want me to vacate my position as my wife, then we can divorce!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Her mother-in-law, Qi Liu, stepped forward, held her hand, and cried, "Mianmian, please don't say such nonsense. I remember all your kindness. You've been busy running the Qi Mansion these past few years. When the news of Nanfeng's death reached us, not only did you not leave, but you also served me, his mother, on his behalf. I'm very grateful."

"But... what Nanfeng did today is understandable. It was the Fifth Princess who saved Nanfeng at the border. The Qi family needs to continue the family line. Your body can no longer withstand the ordeal, but our Qi family still needs to continue the family line..."

Qi Liu was about to speak but stopped, sobbing non-stop. Qi Nanfeng stepped forward to support his mother, "Mother, I didn't mean to divorce you. I just wanted her to be my concubine. The princess is a daughter of gold. After she enters the mansion, I will definitely not embarrass her."

Ruan Mian had had enough of the drama between the mother and daughter, so she signaled to her maid Cuizhu to bring pen and ink and write a divorce letter.

"Since you've made up your mind, let's break up and sign it!"

Qi Nanfeng was stunned. He had thought that Ruan Mian would threaten to commit suicide, but he had never thought that she would dare to propose a divorce!

"You don't want to be divorced, but you are willing to write a divorce letter. It's obvious that you want to take the dowry away!" Qi Nanfeng pointed at her nose and scolded her righteously.

Ruan Mian suppressed the urge to break his fingers and asked, "If I remember correctly, the dowry was originally brought by me from my parents' home. With the way you look now, I'm afraid you don't want to divorce me because you want to take my dowry for yourself?"

"You!" Qi Nanfeng's face flushed with shame at these words: "Stop accusing me. If you don't want to be divorced, then be your concubine. If you want to divorce me, dream on!"

He was so angry that he wanted to snatch the divorce papers away, but suddenly a gentle voice came, "Brother Nanfeng."

Ruan Mian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a white dress walking towards the hall with light lotus steps.

She put on a little makeup and looked like a young and innocent girl, but the viciousness in her eyes completely destroyed this temperament.

When everyone in the Qi Mansion saw her, they all became respectful. Qi Nanfeng also changed his previous attitude and put on a gentle smile: "Wan'er, you have been on the road for so long, why don't you rest for a while?"

Jiang Wan glanced at Ruan Mian and said with a smile, "Nanfeng, I just suddenly wanted to see you, so I came here, but... I came at an unfortunate time."

She moved closer to Ruan Mian first, smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, and taunted her in a voice that only Ruan Mian could hear, "A mere lowly person, you dare to compete with this princess?"

"You know, if I want you to die, it's just a matter of a word."

She thought that this would make Ruan Mian obedient, but she didn't know that the person in front of her had changed his heart a long time ago and was no longer the soft persimmon that could be squeezed and kneaded at will.

Hearing this, Ruan Mian sneered in his heart and looked down at the jade bracelet on the princess's hand.

Compared with other accessories on the princess, this bracelet is of average quality and inconspicuous.

But Ruan Mian, who had read the original book, knew clearly that this was the original owner's ancestral jade bracelet, which was later stolen by Qi Nanfeng and given to the fifth princess, calling it a "token of love."

Shortly after the original owner's death, the fifth princess discovered the secret of the jade bracelet. She not only helped Qi Nanfeng solve a series of problems such as the locust plague, but also helped him sit on the throne of the Supreme Emperor.

What a coincidence...
