Chapter 69 Divorce Letter

That night.

Qin Mingzhu personally rode a carriage to the gate of the Governor's Mansion and entered the prison under the guidance of several guards.

After all, she is still Yan Qinghao's family member, so it is reasonable for her to come and visit.

Currently, only a few people know about Yan Qinghao's arrest. However, once he is brought to the palace tomorrow, it will soon be known to the whole city.

It had been less than half a year since the defeat.

The bodies of those 50,000 soldiers are still warm.

Just think of how much the people respected him as Marquis Dingyuan before, and how much they will hate him next!

The news of his death in battle spread throughout the world, causing a sensation, and he even regarded himself as a hero.

It was because although the soldiers he led were defeated that day, they fought desperately and killed many enemies. When everyone arrived, the ground was full of corpses. The enemy also suffered heavy losses and was unable to break through this line of defense.

Therefore, even though he was defeated in the battle, he still made contributions, and the emperor sent him many rewards after his death.

And now, he is back alive!

Before this, he was clearly not dead, but he did not send back any news, which was obviously an act of desertion!

The rusty cell door was opened.

Qin Mingzhu walked in front, while Yan Fengxiao, the master of the Governor's Mansion, followed closely behind her.

As the two walked, Qin Mingzhu asked softly, "Commander-in-Chief, have you gotten anything out of him?"

Yan Fengxiao shook his head slightly, "Not yet."

Qin Mingzhu was a little surprised.

But it was just a little surprising.

After all, Yan Qinghao was very confident and knew that if he confessed, he would definitely die.

Therefore, as long as he is not stupid, in order to survive, he will know that he cannot tell it even if he is beaten to death.

And he knew that Yan Fengxiao could not kill him before sending him to the court to await trial.

Qin Mingzhu chuckled, "It's okay, I know what his trump card is."

Yan Fengxiao raised his eyes slightly and stared at Qin Mingzhu's figure.

The woman in front of him had a slim figure and a resolute expression, and her eyes were brighter and more penetrating than before.

"That Northern Frontier Princess wouldn't let this go. On the way back, the Governor's men must have encountered numerous attacks."

Yan Fengxiao nodded: "I encountered it five times in total."

And those people are very difficult to deal with, they are all black-clad warriors.

Qin Mingzhu lowered her eyelashes and clenched her fingers hidden in her sleeves.

She couldn't help but slow down her pace.

"Yan Qinghao remains fearless and is sure to find a way to avoid this charge. I suspect he'll use the intelligence he got from the Northern Frontier Princess to exonerate himself, claiming he stayed there to investigate Northern Frontier..."

Yan Fengxiao glanced sideways and suddenly stopped.

"Pearl."

Qin Mingzhu was stunned.

This cell is underground, very deep and long, and it takes a while to walk from the exit to the innermost cell.

There are no people in the cells on both sides now. After all, this is the Governor's Office, and the prisoners are all special ones.

"What happened to the governor?"

A hint of coldness shone in Yan Fengxiao's beautiful and sharp phoenix eyes.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "If Yan Qinghao is convicted, you and the child will inevitably be implicated. Before that, I will allow you and the child to leave the Marquis' Mansion safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Qin Mingzhu took a look at the paper and saw three big words written on it: "Divorce Letter".

She was slightly stunned and burst out laughing.

"The governor actually prepared this for me."

Yan Fengxiao had a serious expression and a cold look.

"I will force Yan Qinghao to sign this divorce agreement. Even if he commits a serious crime, it will have nothing to do with you."

Qin Mingzhu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Yan Fengxiao with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.

"What if he doesn't want to?"

Yan Fengxiao said calmly, "It's not his turn to say he doesn't want to."

He was asking Qin Mingzhu.

It was obvious that he had gone to great lengths to capture Yan Qinghao alive and had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"He committed a serious crime, and you were completely unaware of it. Divorce will have the least impact on you. Once he's convicted, you and the child will be able to escape without any problems."

Qin Mingzhu nodded.

She knew what Yan Fengxiao meant by saying this to her.

There was clearly worry hidden in those phoenix eyes, worried that she would soften her heart after seeing Yan Qinghao and reconcile with him.

This...how is it possible?

She wanted to tear him into pieces, and even if she turned his bones into ashes, it would not be able to relieve the hatred in her heart!

Qin Mingzhu smiled and took out a stack of divorce papers from her arms, then stuffed them into Yan Fengxiao's arms.

"I've already prepared it. I'd like to ask the governor to do me a favor and have him sign it properly later."

She had waited in the Marquis' Mansion for so long just for this day.

Of course, the reason why Madam Yan fell ill was not just because of the dog bite.

In order to appease her, Lin Hongrong said she would help her and tampered with the medicine that the old lady usually drank.

For Lin Hongrong, this was just a convenient thing and was also quite beneficial to her.

It's pure bullshit to say that you have no thoughts about the head of the family.

Yan Fengxiao was stunned by the stack of divorce papers.

He was a dignified commander-in-chief, a ruthless killer on the battlefield, but at this moment he showed a look of surprise.

"Why... so many?"

Qin Mingzhu continued to walk inside and said with a smile: "I'm worried that his hands will shake and he might break something, so it's better to be prepared."

Each of these letters was written by her own hand, proving her determination to divorce Yan Qinghao.

Yan Fengxiao pursed his thin lips, and a smile that was difficult to conceal appeared on his cold and handsome face.

He quickly and carefully put away the divorce letter and followed Qin Mingzhu's footsteps.

Yan Qinghao was imprisoned in a cell inside.

It was very quiet here, with no one around, so even if he shouted, not much could be heard.

The sound insulation underground was very good, so only a few screams from the surrounding cells could be heard, although this made them sound more ghostly and creepy.

The air in the cell was filled with a fishy smell, especially the smell of blood.

Qin Mingzhu stepped carefully on the brown ground and arrived at the cell door.

When the gatekeeper saw that his own commander had also followed, he immediately nodded and bowed to open the door for Qin Mingzhu.

"Ma'am, please come in!"

The cell was very spacious, and the back wall was covered with a variety of torture instruments.

A man was hanging on the wooden frame in the middle, his hands were spread wide and tightly tied to the wood on both sides with ropes. His head was drooping and there were many whip marks crisscrossing on his chest.

I seemed to hear a sound at the door.

Yan Qinghao forced himself to open his eyes.

The moment he saw Qin Mingzhu, there was obvious hope in his eyes.

His dim eyes gradually brightened. He opened his cracked lips and said in a hoarse but gentle voice, "Mingzhu, I seem to see you. Am I dreaming? I miss you so much..."

Qin Mingzhu looked at the scene in front of her and walked forward calmly.

Then……

“Bang!”

A heavy slap landed on Yan Qinghao's face.
