Lin Ze watched as the people left behind by Brother Shen moved away all of Xu Jinyi's dowry bit by bit.

Then they calculated how much of Xiao Jinyi's dowry they had used in the past three years, and then searched the entire Lin Mansion.

All valuables were taken away as payment for the debt.

"Cousin, what should we do? They've moved all their things away. What should we do with Rui'er?"

Jiang Hui didn't know why things turned out like this. She came to the capital to enjoy the good life.

But how did it turn out like this now? She didn't know whether her son was alive or dead, and her cousin had a concubine. The capable Xu Jinyi asked for a divorce.

If they divorced like this, what would it matter if she got the position of legal wife?

Her Rui'er was gone, the Lin family's reputation was ruined, and her two children were born out of wedlock.

Lin Ze pushed her away and roared angrily: "It's all your fault. I told you to wait and be patient in the countryside."

"Send the child here first. Once everything is settled, I'll slowly bring you over. Now it's all gone, aren't you happy?"

Lin Ze has always been selfish and puts his own interests first.

He did have some love for Jiang Hui, but it was definitely not as great as his future.

Jiang Hui never thought that the person she loved so deeply would say this to her. She felt so aggrieved that she cried freely.

"Can you blame me for this? You took my innocent body and gave birth to two children for you. You are enjoying life in the capital, surrounded by beautiful women, while I have to live with my children in the countryside and suffer the cold shoulder of others."

"If you weren't greedy for fame and fortune, would you have become what you are now?"

"You clearly promised me that if I passed the imperial examination you would give me a title, but year after year, how many years of youth can a woman have?"

"How can I not be anxious when I'm far away in the countryside? You said there wouldn't be another woman, but what about her? One accident, what about the second and third?"

This time everyone thought of the culprit Du Juan. When Du Juan became a witness to confirm their affair, Lin Ze understood.

He was fooled by this bitch. It was she who spread the words and set up the trap.

Dujuan saw that they looked like they were going to eat her and thought to herself that something was wrong.

She turned around and tried to run away, but Lin Ze was not willing to let her go.

He grabbed her hair and pulled her back.

"You did it, you bitch."

Lin Ze had a distorted face and beat Du Juan until her face was bruised and swollen. He grabbed her hair, pressed her down, and slammed her head against the tree again and again.

Before Dujuan fainted, she looked at the blue sky with endless regret in her heart.

If she had not been so greedy for fame and fortune, she would not have ended up like this.

At night, Lin Ze came to the door of Xu Jinyi's manor and knelt down, saying tearfully that he was wrong.

Let Xu Jinyi forgive him for the sake of the grace between husband and wife. From now on, he will spend his whole life to compensate her.

He also said that if Xu Jinyi didn't forgive him, he would kneel down forever.

He had to kneel until Xu Jinyi was willing to come out to see him.

Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, Xu Jinyi silently prayed for rain.

Soon, thunder rumbled, lightning flashed across the sky, and heavy rain fell mercilessly.

Lin Ze originally wanted to gain sympathy and bet that Xu Jinyi had feelings for him.

Thinking that this rain could give him some support, it could soften Xu Jinyi's heart.

In order to win forgiveness, he did not leave even in the heavy rain, but unfortunately he underestimated Xu Jinyi's cruelty.

The door was never opened until he fainted in the rain.

It was after daybreak that someone passing by spotted Lin Ze and notified the Lin family to come and pick him up.

In the palace.

The Queen Mother suddenly held a flower-viewing banquet and invited ministers from all families to bring their families into the palace.

Many people received invitations. Since the Queen Mother invited them, they had to give her face. If they didn't go, they had to have a reason.

When Lin Ze received the invitation, he excitedly came to find Xu Jinyi, thinking that as long as he could see her, he would have a chance to explain.

I thought I would have to go through some difficulties before I could see anyone, but I didn't expect to be invited in so easily this time.

"How can a dignified emperor embrace the wife of one of his courtiers? He's ready. Brother Ayan, are you sure you don't want to move away?"

Fu Shiyan couldn't wait to marry the woman in front of him into the palace so that they could see each other and sleep in each other's arms every day.

So he told her his identity, and Xu Jinyi was surprised and ashamed.

How could a divorced woman like her be worthy of the emperor? She immediately cut off all ties with Fu Shiyan.

However, Fu Shiyan told her about his fear of women and said that Xu Jinyi was his true love and if she did not marry him, the country would have no successor.

They are said to be a perfect match, a couple made in heaven, and their meeting is a fate given by God.

The country has no successor, and offspring is a big problem. Now that he has finally met a woman who he does not reject, Xu Jinyi should help him solve his problems.

Only then did Xu Jinyi agree.

After all, she is the daughter of a court official, so she certainly understands the importance of being the future crown prince.

So I agreed.

"What's there to hide? He'll find out sooner or later. Besides, would he dare to spread rumors after he gets out?"

Xu Jinyi: Of course not. Lin Ze is a man who values his life very much.

Hearing the footsteps approaching Fu Shiyan, Jiang Xu Jinyi suddenly pulled him into his arms and kissed him with his thin lips.

Fu Shiyan had to admit that he was jealous. He was jealous that Lin Ze could marry her, so this happened.

This was the scene Lin Ze saw when he stepped in.

I saw a tall man with a strong back hugging his wife's waist and kissing her.

The postures of the two were extremely ambiguous, and what was even more outrageous was that the man's big hand had already reached into his wife's clothes.

Although she couldn't see his hands, she could clearly see from the rise and fall of the fabric on her chest how the man's big hands were loosening and tightening.

Lin Ze stood there in a daze, and then he became furious.

"You fickle woman, you dare to cheat on me, you——"

When Fu Shiyan turned his head, Lin Ze was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

When Lin Ze saw clearly who the wild man was, not only did his legs go weak, but he also broke out in a cold sweat.

Fu Shiyan looked at Lin Ze sharply, his eyes like swords.

"What? What did Lord Lin want to say just now?"

Fu Shiyan slowly withdrew his hand and fixed Xu Jinyi's collar.

Lin Ze looked at Xu Jinyi, whose face was as rosy and charming after being kissed, and his anger surged again.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Your Majesty, she is my wife. You are a wise ruler and you would never do anything like stealing the wife of a court official, right?" Lin Ze said cautiously.

"Oh!"

"How can it be considered robbery? Isn't Lin Aiqing here to deliver the divorce papers? Jinxiu, please bring in the pen and ink."

Lin Ze's eyes widened in disbelief. "Your Majesty, although you are the emperor, you cannot force us to divorce and take someone else's wife. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined."

Fu Shiyan looked at him with dark eyes: "Are you sure you don't want to write?"

Lin Ze trembled and looked at the cold Xu Jinyi: "She is my legitimate wife, I will not divorce her."
