Chu Qingniang looked at him quietly, without any emotion in her eyes.
"Qi Che, are you so sure that I am not worthy of divorcing you?"
Hearing her say this, Qi Che felt that strange feeling in his heart again.
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that you are actually very noble?"
"But so what? Chu Qingniang, in today's Great Chu, the most noble woman is only the princess. Are you trying to say that you are the legitimate princess of the dynasty?"
"Don't daydream. If you are really a princess, let alone divorcing your husband, even if you want my life, I will give it to you without hesitation."
"I advise you to sign the divorce agreement now so that we can part ways amicably. Otherwise, if the princess finds out about your identity, don't blame me for not giving you a chance—"

At the same time, in Qi Mansion, Shou'an Courtyard.

Old Madam Qi was so excited that she immediately took Qi Che to worship the ancestral tablets all night long, saying that Qi Che must have had such great fortune because of the good fortune in his ancestral tomb.
At first, she suggested that Qi Che just divorce Chu Qingniang with a letter of divorce, but Qi Che said that he wanted to divorce her publicly so that everyone in Jiangnan City would know about it. He also had to do so in order to show it to the princess.
As long as Chu Qingniang voluntarily divorced in court, it would not be that Qi Che forced her to abandon his wife, but that Chu Qingniang was jealous and intolerant and she took the initiative to ask for a divorce.
If such news reaches the princess's ears, his chances of winning will be even greater.
