After 8 Years of Widowhood, The Marquis's Wife Demands a Divorce

On the eve of her wedding, an urgent report arrived from the border, and the Marquis of Pingyang led his army to battle. To show appreciation and importance, the Crown Prince personally officiated the wedding.

The Marquis of Pingyang was stationed at the border for eight years. During this time, Qin Wan saw off her mother-in-law and cared for her grandmother.

After eight years, the Marquis of Pingyang returned victorious, bringing back a woman with him. This woman could make gunpowder, produce paper, and had assisted the Marquis in quelling the rebellion.

In the imperial court, the Marquis of Pingyang requested that this woman be granted the title of "co-wife."

Qin Wan sneered, "There has never been a 'co-wife' in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I nursed your mother until her end. Since you cannot divorce me, you try to insult me with a co-wife? I refuse to step foot in your Marquis of Pingyang's estate anymore!"

Divorce and dismantling the household were completed in one go. When the Marquis of Pingyang brought his new wife through the door, he finally understood four words: "bare walls and empty house."

Qin Wan, on the other hand, became the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince said, "Eight years ago, I welcomed you through the gate on behalf of another. Eight years later, I come to complete the ceremony."

The Marquis of Pingyang looked at his dilapidated estate, then turned and knelt before Qin Wan: "Wanwan, I was wrong!"
