Chapter 001: Escape Failure

In December of the fifteenth year of Changyuan, Ancheng.

It snowed continuously for more than a month, blocking most of the roads leading into the city. The cold wind mixed with snow foam and bit my face harshly.

Xia Xue was dressed in white, with her hands clenched into fists, shivering in the cold wind.

"Madam, the Prime Minister is still busy, please go back."

After going in seven times, the butler gave the same result.

"It's okay. I'll wait."

Xia Xue raised the corners of her mouth awkwardly, and her lips were stained with blood again.

The butler sighed and entered the study for the eighth time.

Another hour passed.

The butler came out for the eighth time.

"Madam, you'd better go back. It's not good for your health to freeze. We can't afford it."

Xia Xue raised her face. The white frost on her long eyelashes covered the bloodshot eyes, but it could not hide the dense mist.

"I just want to say a few words to my husband."

The housekeeper shook his head, which was nothing more than a plea to the Prime Minister not to divorce. It was just the Prime Minister's decision...

The butler sighed and turned around.

Xia Xue stared at the poplar wood carved door as it closed again, and two lines of tears finally rolled out.

Three years ago, Xia Xue was a noblewoman in a marquis's mansion, and Chu Zhenxuan was the junior historian of the prime minister.

Since they met, she has been unstoppable.

Xia Xue broke through all kinds of obstacles and married Chu Zhenxuan.

After the marriage, the Xia family mobilized all the connections they could, and in just three years, they pushed Chu Zhenxuan to the position of prime minister, making him the youngest left prime minister in Changyuan's history.

The Xia family didn't know that in the three years since they got married, she had met her nominal husband only a handful of times.

The Xia family didn't know that most of the time, they communicated through the housekeeper, even through the door, and they would say what they wanted to say and then leave.

The Xia family didn't know even more that Chu Zhenxuan had long been tired of Xia Xue, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion knew that the Prime Minister and his wife were getting divorced.

"Brother Xuan, please let sister-in-law come in. If we stand here any longer in this weather, something bad might happen." A clear female voice came from the study.

"Don't worry about her, let's continue."

Xia Xue shuddered and her pupils shrank.

The reason why she is missing is because there is another woman in the study?

Lifting her stiff legs, Xia Xue took two steps at a time and pushed the door open.

There were three or four aides from the Prime Minister's Office sitting in the study.

Standing side by side with Chu Zhenxuan next to Fang Ji was Zuo Qing who was speaking.

Xia Xue was a little embarrassed.

Chu Zhenxuan narrowed his eyes.

The housekeeper hurried forward to pull her away.

Xia Xue gritted her teeth and pushed the housekeeper away.

Come forward.

Look up.

"You want to divorce me because of this woman?"

"What's so good about her being neither male nor female?"

"Shut up!" A fierce look flashed in Chu Zhenxuan's eyes.

"She wields swords and guns every day, pretending to be a conspirator. Can she help you become the prime minister? Can her family help you become the prime minister?"

"She's nothing!"

"You divorced me for her..."

"Shut up!" Chu Zhenxuan gritted his teeth, "It seems like He Li is really a bargain for you."

Originally, Chu Zhenxuan felt that the Xia family had done him a favor, and as long as Xia Xue abided by her duties, he would let her occupy the title of Prime Minister's wife and live in wealth and luxury until old age.

Who knew that not only was she not satisfied, but she also did those dirty things in secret, and even did not hesitate to push the entire Chu family into the forefront.

Since she wanted to die, he couldn't be blamed.

Chu Zhenxuan picked up the pen.

Pause.

"My dear husband, you are not really going to divorce me, are you? If you dare to divorce me, the Xia family..."

Chu Zhenxuan was still a little hesitant, but when he heard about the Xia family, he quickly picked up the paper and started writing.

"The emperor presents this edict: my wife, Xia, is without virtue and is jealous and mean. I hereby divorce her and establish this written agreement as a reference."

He signed his name and stamped his private seal.

Throw it to Xia Xue.

Xia Xue picked up the divorce letter tremblingly.

Tears filled my eyes.

"Since the Prime Minister is so heartless, I, Xia Xue, will no longer pester you. We will never meet again in this life."

After Xia Xue finished speaking, she ran out briskly, clutching the divorce letter.

Chu Zhenxuan looked at Xia Xue's trembling back and always felt that something was wrong.

[System Bibi: Warning, warning, the affectionate character cannot collapse! ]

【Bibi: Warning! 】

[Bibi: If you keep laughing, your guts will be exposed! ]

【Xia Xue: When can I leave? 】

【Bibi: Let me try. 】

A moment later...

[Bibi: Warning, escape failed! ]

Bibi was very frustrated, the system showed that the task was not completed.

[Xia Xue: Damn, didn’t we agree that the mission would be completed once I got the divorce letter?]

【Bibi: I forgot to read the mission description. 】

…

【Xia Xue: You're wasting my sincerity.】

Which of your words just now were sincere? Bibi thought in her heart, except for the one that we will never meet again in this life.

【Xia Xue: What is the missing mission description? 】

[Bibi: The target's negative emotion value must reach 100.]

【Xia Xue: How much is it now? 】

Bibi lowered her head and answered in a very low voice, "99!"

The nth power of the day.

Xia Xue stopped, bit her lip, breathed, breathed again, breathed three times...

The corners of his mouth were pulled up hard, tears welled up in his eyes...

Xia Xue turned around and walked towards the study.

Chu Zhenxuan was a little surprised to see Xia Xue's face again, as if something was a little different.

Xia Xue moved in front of him and sobbed, "Is there really no way to save it?" Chu Zhenxuan pursed his lips and did not comment.

Xia Xue took another step forward, "Are you really not going to think about it again?"

Chu Zhenxuan's expression of disgust became even more intense, and he simply turned around and didn't look at her.

A cunning look flashed across Xia Xue's eyes. She raised her leg and kicked Chu Zhenxuan hard on the butt.

…

Before fainting, Xia Xue muttered silently, "How could I forget that he knows martial arts?"

Sitting up suddenly.

Xia Xue looked at the familiar wooden carved bed in front of her, and a big "sun" appeared above her head.

Not yet out!!!

What about her divorce letter?

[Bibi, Bibi]

【Bibi】

No response.

Xia Xue shouted and started to tossing around on the bed.

I don't know where this guy has gone to slack off again.

Where is my divorce letter?

I've been lying down for a few days and I feel like I'm falling apart.

Twisted his neck up and down.

"Boom!"

Her head was buzzing.

In the residual light of the candlestick, Xia Xue saw a horrified face.

Chu Zhenxuan!

"My husband," Xia Xue smiled ingratiatingly. She couldn't offend her target before completing the task.

Chu Zhenxuan raised his hand, "Are you looking for this?"

"Of course not"

No way!

Chu Zhenxuan's brows furrowed even deeper. What sound did he hear?

He was quite sure that the woman had not spoken a word since she had gotten up, but he had heard her speak.

Could it be

Her voice?

He shook his head in disbelief. He had seen many strange things, but this was the first time. Maybe this woman was playing some tricks again.

Staring at Chu Zhenxuan's changing face, Xia Xue had a bad feeling.

Is this stinky man going to change his mind?

Suddenly you realize that your lady is so beautiful that she is beyond compare to the moon and flowers, and so charming that everyone loves her and the whole country is overwhelmed with her. Do you regret it?

She is so much better than that tomboy next to you, huh.

Now I realize that you have a pretty good vision.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to play with you.

Chu Zhenxuan suddenly looked at her.

Xia Xue's flattering expression returned to normal.

"Husband, have you changed your mind?"

Don't do that.

Chu Zhenxuan's face became even uglier.

Well, this Chu Zhenxuan is quite handsome when he gets angry. Why don’t I leave later and make him angry every day, which will give me some rest for my eyes.

Chu Zhenxuan held the divorce letter in his hand tightly.

As for his figure, it's passable. But those aides in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day were also good-looking, young hunks in their teens, wow.

The rise and fall of Chu Zhenxuan's chest quickened.

Although Chu Zhenxuan is only 24, he still looks a bit old.

Thinking of this, Xia Xue glanced at Chu Zhenxuan's face.

Only then did she realize it.

Chu Zhenxuan's eyes were red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Xia Xue shrank her neck.

Get the divorce letter back as soon as possible.

"Husband"

Before Xia Xue finished her coquettish words, Chu Zhenxuan raised his hand and knocked her unconscious again.

Depend on!

Before falling into coma again, Xia Xue gave him the middle finger.
