Jiang Tian said calmly, "I was heartbroken at that time, thinking that this was how my life would be. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and I met a soulmate. Fate cannot be defied, so I had no choice but to follow him."

Xu Jingxiu's face turned ashen.

In his eyes, Jiang Tian should be loyal to him for the rest of her life, no matter what has happened.

But she couldn't hold on for more than two years!

Jiang Tian looked at him and said, "I already know why you asked me to come. Now that we've met, let's make things clear at once."

"By a twist of fate, my current husband and I have fallen in love. I don't want anyone to disturb our time together. Ashu has become the head of the village, which brings honor to the Xu family. You don't need to worry about it; it's what she deserves."

"Your other children will have to earn their military merits on their own; it has nothing to do with her."

"As for you and me, we've already settled our differences. There's really no reason for you to stop me."

Xu Jingxiu's expression grew increasingly unpleasant as he listened to her utter nonsense.

"Without me as her father, would Xu Qingshu have the position of village chief? There's not a shred of gratitude in your words, and you're even trying to distance yourself from me. Do you think I wanted to come looking for you?"

“Go ask her how she gained the emperor’s favor. As a member of the Xu family, she remained silent in front of her father. Is this her duty as a daughter?”

Jiang Tian's tone carried a hint of impatience: "How many days have you cared about her? Since His Majesty has given her that position, then she should accept this favor."

Xu Jingxiu didn't want to talk to her about these useless things.

He stared at Jiang Tian: "You come back with me and make Xu Qingshu explain how she obtained the position of village head. This matter has a profound impact on my career. If I lose my position, her position as village head will also be in jeopardy."

Jiang Tian looked at him and said, "Even if you die, the position of village chief will still belong to her."

Xu Jingxiu's face turned pale. He dismounted and approached Jiang Tian.

His expression was somewhat terrifying: "If I die, the Xu family will have no way out, and so will your daughter. She became the village head by virtue of my merits, so she will not escape the fate of being scattered when the tree falls."

Jiang Tian wasn't afraid of him, but her eyes were filled with disgust: "You've become more and more repulsive over the years. Don't threaten me; her position as the head of the village has nothing to do with you."

Few people dared to curse Xu Jingxiu to his face.

As his position rose, others became increasingly wary of him and tried to curry favor with him.

But Jiang Tian was his first wife. When he wanted to marry Wei Zhirou, the two had a big fight. She completely broke down at that time and cursed him for the first time.

Now, so many years later, Xu Jingxiu's expression remained unchanged when he heard Jiang Tian's insults towards him again.

He leaned closer to look at Jiang Tian and was even more surprised by her changes.

She was once emaciated, skin and bones, as if she wouldn't live more than a few days.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that nowadays, like a withered tree blossoming in spring.

Her skin was snow-white, her hair was jet black, and her eyes and brows became more expressive.

What he initially perceived as plain features turned out to be incredibly exquisite upon closer inspection.

When a person's spirit and energy change, the way they are perceived by others naturally changes drastically.

Xu Jingxiu felt a surge of jealousy that he himself did not know the reason for.

He suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Why hasn't your husband shown up yet?"

Jiang Tian's eyes betrayed her disgust for him: "I've already said, I don't want him to interfere in our affairs. My life with him is peaceful and happy."

When his ex-wife told him that she and her current husband were very happy, Xu Jingxiu's expression twisted for a moment.
