Jiang Li suddenly spoke, which made Zhou Qingyuan's vision darken instantly.
He had thought that he could get rid of his mother himself so that the General's Mansion could escape unscathed, but this idiot spoke up at this time! Zhou Qingyuan pursed his lips. Although he didn't know what Jiang Li was going to say, his intuition told him that it must not be a good thing! After hearing Jiang Li's voice, Shen Tingsi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect her to speak at this time.
He turned and looked at Jiang Li curiously, wanting to hear what she wanted him to do.
The moment he looked at Jiang Li, the coldness around Shen Tingsi subsided a little.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the small group kneeling in front of him, and a smile flashed in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.
"Look up."
The moment Shen Tingsi opened his mouth, Zhou Qingyuan's heart was in his throat, fearing that another crisis would come, and the General's Mansion, which he had saved with great difficulty, would be pushed to the brink of a knife by Jiang Li again.
Jiang Li, whose forehead hit the ground, knelt up and looked up at Shen Tingsi in front of her. The moment their eyes met, Shen Tingsi's expression, which had finally relaxed, darkened again.
The redness and swelling on Jiang Li's forehead had finally subsided a little, but now it's red again.
She looked up at Shen Tingsi, with shock and complexity still in her eyes, as if she was frightened by Shen Tingsi's identity.
After seeing the emotions in Jiang Li's eyes, a trace of helplessness flashed across Shen Tingsi's face. This day had finally come.
Now he just hoped that she wouldn't distance herself from him after his true identity was exposed.
Shen Tingsi slowed down his tone and asked, "What is it that requires me to make a decision for you? Just tell me."
"Your Majesty, I insisted on marrying into the General's Mansion despite my parents' objection. I have been walking on thin ice these days in the General's Mansion. Not only is my husband unloving and my mother-in-law treating me harshly, but even the servants are framing me everywhere. I originally thought that I could gain sincerity in return over time, but now it seems that this is not the case."
"What happened today has taught me that human hearts cannot be warmed up, so I don't want to get entangled with anyone in the General's Mansion anymore. So I beg Your Majesty to make the General and I sign a divorce agreement, so that we can part ways and have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
As the last word fell, Jiang Li knocked her head to the ground again. Now she had found out the secret hidden behind the General's Mansion, and could use it to deal a fatal blow to the General's Mansion. It was time to withdraw.
In fact, she should thank Zhou for this incident, which gave her an excuse to escape from the quagmire of the General's Mansion.
It not only preserved the reputation, but also pushed the General's Mansion to the edge of the knife, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Now she had spoken of the divorce matter in front of the Emperor of Chu. As long as the Emperor of Chu nodded, Zhou Qingyuan would have to sign the divorce agreement whether she wanted to or not.
Otherwise, given Zhou Qingyuan's character, there would only be a divorce letter but no separation. If this lunatic was pushed into a corner, he might even drag her to hell with him.
Jiang Li never wanted a situation where both sides would suffer losses. What she wanted was to see Zhou Qingyuan fall from the altar and hit the eighteenth level of hell with her own eyes! !
Zhou Qingyuan widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Jiang Li wanted to say that she wanted to break up with him!
However, after thinking about the life that Jiang Li lived after marrying into the general's mansion, Zhou Qingyuan was no longer surprised. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone a living person?
No matter how tolerant she was before, she would fight back if she was oppressed for a long time, and Heli was Jiang Li's counterattack.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyuan suddenly didn't think there was anything surprising about Jiang Li's decision today.
Now that the matter is done, all Zhou Qingyuan can do is kneel on the ground respectfully and wait for His Majesty to make the decision.
Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li who was kneeling in front of him. He wanted to reach out to support her, but he tightened his hands slightly and resisted the urge to take action.
If he took action now, she would not be able to escape unscathed.
"Okay."
Shen Tingsi uttered two words lightly and agreed to Jiang Li's request.
After expressing her gratitude, Jiang Li raised her head and looked at Zhou Qingyuan behind Shen Tingsi.
"General, can you get me a pen and paper?"
Zhou Qingyuan was stunned. He had not expected Jiang Li to be so impatient that she actually wanted to sign a divorce agreement with him in front of His Majesty! Now that Jiang Li had spoken, Zhou Qingyuan had no reason to refuse. He could only nod and order someone to bring pen and ink.
The divorce agreement was quickly drafted. Jiang Li was the first to write her name on it and then put her fingerprint on it without even reading what was written on the agreement, as if she was afraid that Zhou Qingyuan would go back on his word.
Zhou Qingyuan, who had seen all her actions, said: "..."
"General, it's your turn."
Jiang Li moved the separation book towards Zhou Qingyuan and turned to look at him.
After meeting Jiang Li's watery almond eyes, Zhou Qingyuan's heart seemed to be hit by something. This was the first time he looked at Jiang Li at such a close distance.
In order to maintain the image of being loyal to his deceased wife, he had always avoided Jiang Li. Right after they got married, he arranged for her to live in the remote Nanyuan and never looked at her straight in the eye.
Today was the first time that he looked at her directly from such a close distance. Zhou Qingyuan stood there in a daze. He originally wanted to pick up the brush to sign the divorce agreement, but he stopped the action.
Jiang Li frowned, somewhat disgusted by Zhou Qingyuan's gaze, and pursed her lips and said, "General, please sign."
Zhou Qingyuan came back to his senses, his eyes looked a little flustered, as if he had been caught.
At Jiang Li's reminder, he picked up the wolf-hair brush in front of him. It was apparently weightless, but when Zhou Qingyuan held it, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Zhou Qingyuan bent down and approached the separation book. He pursed his lips after seeing the handwriting on the separation book. The red fingerprint mark was so eye-catching that it was difficult for him to ignore it.
Zhou Qingyuan picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, then wrote his name with a heavy heart. As he wrote stroke by stroke on the book, it seemed as if something was being pulled away from his heart.
Jiang Li stared at his movements, and after Zhou Qingyuan signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the separation certificate, she couldn't wait to pick up one of them. Without even looking at Zhou Qingyuan, she went straight to Shen Tingsi with the separation certificate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me!"
Jiang Li came in front of Shen Tingsi and bowed to him.
Shen Tingsi glanced at the separation book in her hand and said calmly, "No need to be polite, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Finally, Jiang Li got the divorce certificate as she wished, and stood aside obediently.
Zhou Qingyuan calmed himself down and walked up to Shen Tingsi again to apologize and express his loyalty.
Shen Tingsi glanced at Zhou Qingyuan who was pretending to be a lazy dog in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to hear any rumors about today."
Zhou Qingyuan said quickly: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I promise that no one will reveal a single word of what happened today!"
Shen Tingsi said nothing, turned around and walked towards the door.
Now that she had obtained what she wanted, there was no need for Jiang Li to stay here any longer. After Shen Tingsi turned around, she also walked out the door.
I had just taken two steps when my feet suddenly slipped and I fell forward uncontrollably!
