Chapter 873 On the Road to Exile 1
Liu Yinyin is an ordinary college student who one day transmigrated into the book "Exiled Three Thousand Miles, the Duke's Heir Rebelled!" Of course, her husband is not Chu Haoxuan, the Duke's heir who successfully rebelled and ascended the throne, but Chu Jingxuan, the second son of the Duke's family. The two have been married for six years and have a son who is now five years old.
The Western Wan Kingdom and the Eastern Ling Kingdom went to war. The Duke and the Crown Prince led 100,000 troops to resist the 300,000-strong army of the Western Wan Kingdom. More than 10,000 soldiers died in the first battle, but fortunately they managed to defend the city.
When the report of the defeat was sent to the capital, some court officials suggested that the Duke of Dingguo and his son were incompetent and should be made to pay for the lives of the fallen soldiers in order to boost morale.
The emperor was wary of the Duke of Dingguo, and the crown prince was constantly eliminating dissidents and also wanted to cultivate his own power in the army.
The father and son hit it off immediately, and an imperial edict was sent to the front lines, ordering the Duke of Dingguo and his son to return to the capital for trial.
An imperial edict was delivered to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, and the entire household was sent to prison.
At the border, before the imperial edict arrived, the Duke of Dingguo and his son fought another battle with the Western Wan Kingdom. Both father and son were killed in battle, and their bodies were seized by the Western Wan Kingdom and hung in front of the battlefield to be extremely humiliated.
When the news reached the capital, the emperor and the crown prince both breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when the imperial edict left the capital, they were really afraid that the father and son would disobey the edict and directly lead troops in rebellion. With the addition of the 300,000 troops of Xiwan, Dongling Kingdom might really be in danger.
Now that they are all dead, there is nothing to fear. So, without waiting for a joint trial by the three judicial authorities, the Chu family was sentenced to exile three thousand miles away, and all their property was confiscated.
Perhaps because their greatest threat had been eliminated and the Chu family army had been taken over by the Crown Prince's men, the father and son were overjoyed and bestowed a special decree allowing the female members of the Duke's mansion, except for the Duchess, to divorce.
Duke Chu Yunsheng of Dingguo had four sons, and his daughters-in-law all came from extraordinary families. Their families had some connection with the other princes. The emperor was annoyed by his sons' pleas for mercy, which is why he issued this imperial edict, also intending to show the world his benevolence.
The night before, when Liu Yinyin was reading this book, she was still lamenting that Ning Shi was brainless, actually divorcing Chu Jingxuan.
The next day, she transmigrated into the book and became the "brainless" fourth wife of the Duke's mansion.
However, the timing of her transmigration was unfortunate, as it was the very day the Duke's mansion was exiled. To highlight her affection for her husband, she abandoned the idea of divorce and embarked on the road to exile with the Chu family.
After all, she was a person with space; even if she were exiled, she wouldn't starve and could still take good care of her husband's family.
The space was the green jade bracelet on her wrist. Because she accidentally cut her hand, blood stained the bracelet, leading to an unexpected contract.
Prisoners are supposed to be searched before entering the jail, but this jade bracelet was not taken.
What's even more outrageous is that she always wore this jade bracelet on her wrist, and many people had seen it, but it was completely ignored by everyone.
With her newfound space at her disposal, Liu Yinyin was emboldened. Instead of divorcing Chu Jingxuan, she embarked on a journey of exile to share joys and sorrows with the future prince.
As a result, she forgot one thing: besides food, there were many dangerous things that could happen on the road to exile.
The journey from the capital to the cold north was fraught with danger, spanning three thousand miles. In the end, she died on the road to exile.
Later, the Chu family successfully rebelled, and Chu Si was successfully enfeoffed as a king. When mentioning his former wife, he would only sigh: "She was unlucky."
Liu Yinyin was filled with regret after her death. The real Ning family member lived a good life in her parents' home after her divorce, and even when the Chu family became emperor, they did not punish her. She lived to a ripe old age.
Liu Yinyin died before she even lived three months after transmigrating into the book, so she refused to transmigrate again, which led to Ning Yan's arrival.
When Ning Yan arrived, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree had just finished reading the Emperor's oral edict, which allowed the Chu family women to divorce, except for the Duchess of the State.
Chu Yun had four sons. The eldest son and the fourth son were born of the legitimate wife, while the second and third sons were born of concubines.
As soon as the Emperor's decree was issued, the second wife took the initiative to propose a divorce.
Chu Er was utterly astonished that his wife would abandon him at this point.
As a result, he was severely scolded by the second wife.
"I'd be a fool to suffer with you like this. Don't you like your concubines? Let them suffer with you."
The second wife had suffered a lot from her husband's temper because she hadn't given birth to a legitimate son. Her husband had taken a bunch of concubines, and those favored concubines had all caused her a lot of trouble. Now that she had the chance to divorce him, she wouldn't cling to this scoundrel.
The Crown Prince's wife lowered her head, concealing the mockery on her face. Of the four brothers in the family, she looked down on the second one the most.
He was born out of wedlock, yet he secretly looked down on his third son, who was also born out of wedlock. He also kept a bunch of concubines and desperately gave birth to sons out of wedlock, mistreating his legal wife. If she were the second son's wife, she would have divorced him without hesitation.
However, her joy lasted only a second. The next second, her own sister-in-law, the fourth son's wife, stood up and said, "Chu Jingxuan, write the divorce papers."
"What? Ning, you're also going to divorce the fourth prince?"
The one asking the question was not the heir apparent's wife, but the old lady of the Duke of Dingguo.
The other members of the Chu family also changed their expressions, with Chu Jingxuan's expression being the most unpleasant!
"Say it again, what are you going to do?"
Ning Yan placed the child in her arms into the old lady's arms, the vibrant green bracelet on her wrist making her skin appear even paler. "I said, I want you to write a divorce agreement."
Did you hear me clearly? If not, I'll say it again!
The original owner was the second daughter of the Marquis of Chengyang. She was pampered from childhood. Otherwise, the original inhabitant Ning Shi in her first life would not have dared to divorce so boldly and would have lived a peaceful life after returning to her parents' home.
Chu Jingxuan's eyes were filled with: How could you be so heartless?
The Chu family members looked at Ning Yan with anger, but the anger was fleeting. Yes, the fourth son had no feelings for his wife at all, so why should she suffer with him?
Furthermore, the road to exile is never easy; one wrong step and you could lose your life. Who wants to die when they can live?
The old lady sighed, "Fourth son, give it to her, don't blame her. You all should quickly write up the divorce papers and let them all go home. Eldest son, you should leave too."
The Crown Prince's wife shook her head vigorously: "Mother, I won't leave. I was born a member of the Chu family and I will die a ghost of the Chu family. My three children can't live without me."
The old lady glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and sighed again, "You, aren't you being foolish? Even if you leave, your brothers and I will take good care of the three children."
The Crown Prince's wife said, "I have enjoyed all the riches and honors since I married into the Chu family. I have enjoyed the blessings, and now I am willing to endure the hardships as well."
The old lady patted her daughter-in-law's hand and stopped saying anything about telling her to leave.
Chu Jingxuan looked at Ning Yan: "Fine, I will write a divorce agreement with you right now, and from now on, we will have no further connection."
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree was holding the Four Treasures of the Study, waiting to see the Chu family make a scene. In such a short time, two couples had been separated. Indeed, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."
