Chapter 13
As soon as the word "divorce" was uttered, the emperor and all the officials' eyes popped out.
Since ancient times, only men have divorced women, and I have never heard of a woman divorcing a man.
The system is puzzled: [Does Dasheng allow divorce? ]
Chu Huan calmly stated, "There's no law in Dasheng that forbids divorce. Everything has a first time. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen again. She can be the first woman to do so, and from then on, lead a trend of divorces throughout Dasheng."
emperor:"……"
Officials: "..."
Still divorcing your husband? You little girl are so bad!
Divorcing just one person would be a big deal. If the women of Dasheng really divorced as many as Chu Huan said, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.
Unfortunately, the above content was all a mental dialogue between Chu Huan and the system. They didn't want to expose the fact that they could hear it, so they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. At most, they asked Chu Ping to give a few words of advice in private to prevent Chu Huan from really doing it.
Another thing is to keep a certain distance between the daughter of the Minister of Justice and Chu Huan, so that she won't be led astray and ask for a divorce.
The system was silent for a moment, then issued a sincere question: "Can I divorce you? Everything is difficult at the beginning, even the first time. Furthermore, this was in ancient times, when the husband was the head of the wife. Even in modern times, when women's self-awareness is awakening, many women refuse to divorce for the sake of their children. They refuse to divorce even when faced with domestic violence, infidelity, or PUA. Divorcing a husband in ancient times was incredibly difficult."
The emperor and his officials pondered silently. Ancient and modern times, this was not the first time the system mentioned these two words.
Ancient refers to the past, so modern refers to the present?
In the past, the husband was the head of the wife, and isn't that still the case now? Or are they misinterpreting modern times?
They really wanted to understand these unfamiliar words, just like the hospital, supermarket, system, and medical seedlings that made them collectively sleepless last night. They always felt that they could dig out a lot of information that would be beneficial to the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Compared with the above, divorce, domestic violence, infidelity, and fart love are not very attractive to them, because as soon as they hear the words, they know that they are more related to women and divorce.
Soon, their thoughts were withdrawn because Chu Huan said something that forced them to face the matter.
She said: "It's okay. If I really can't divorce my husband, I can still remain a widow."
emperor:! ! !
Officials:!!!
They all fell back in shock. What do you mean? Are you going to instigate Madam Yu to kill her husband?
I felt a chill down my spine, and the head on my neck felt a little chilly for some reason, as if someone hiding in the dark was coveting it.
Yu Jiayan was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.
Chu Huan wanted to kill him just because he called Chu Ping a coward. How cruel!
The system thought the same thing as them, and said in a panic: [No, murder is against the law.]
Chu Huan comforted him: [Don't worry, I won't dirty my hands for a scumbag.]
The emperor, all the officials, and even Yu Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before they could relax for a moment, they breathed a sigh of relief again because Chu Huan laughed inexplicably, as if she had thought of a good idea but didn't say it.
They didn't know what she had done to make Mrs. Yu a widow, and they were very nervous and a little curious.
Officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court have been quietly discussing several ways to be a "legal widow."
"Not wanting to get her hands dirty means she won't do it herself."
"Inciting others to kill isn't considered dirty hands, at most it's dirty mouth."
"Is hiring a killer considered dirty hands?"
"What about creating an accident?"
Yu Jiayan: “…”
He really didn't want to hear the many ways he could be killed, but he had no choice. What if he actually was killed?
If he had known it would be like this, he would have stopped scolding Chu Ping for being a coward. Now he is going to be fined, demoted, and may even lose his life. It's too miserable!
Chu Huan suddenly changed the subject: [Let's not talk about that scumbag anymore, it's bad luck. What's the story behind my dad visiting prostitutes?]
System: [I just checked, twice, and there's no such news. Your father didn't visit a prostitute.]
Chu Ping nodded vigorously. He repeated it several times that he really did not visit prostitutes!
Thank you for my daughter's trust, thank you for the system's clarification, and thank you for my daily upright conduct!
The emperor and all the officials couldn't help but look at the second prince. The second prince was a little dazed and confused. Chu Ping didn't have any affairs with prostitutes, so who was the Chu Ping he saw in Chunfeng Tower?
Chu Huan, transformed into a famous detective, pursued suspicious clues: "The Second Prince has no reason to slander my father, so it's possible he's mistaken. My eldest brother and I look like mother. Chu Qi looks like my father, but not much, not enough to be mistaken. Ah, could it be my father's spoiled younger brother?"
System: [Do the two people look alike?]
Chu Hua: [He's the relative who looks most like my dad. His name is Chu An. Look him up.]
While the system was busy searching, Chu Ping was also trying hard to recall.
His younger brother Chu An is indeed somewhat similar to him. He has never been interested in literature or martial arts since he was a child and has only known how to play all day long.
Because his father and mother spoiled their younger brother because he was a late-born child, they told him not to study if he didn't like it, not to learn horse stance if it was hard, and to play if he liked. They always said that their brothers and sisters would support them... There were countless such stories, and eventually Chu An became a playboy.
His mother was not good at business, his sisters got married one after another, and his younger brother spent money like water. When it was his turn to get married, the family had very little money, so his father arranged a wife for him, a merchant girl named Wen, and also arranged a wife for his younger brother, a merchant girl named Dou.
Dou is a gentle person and good at making money. She cannot control Chu An or change his temperament.
If it were Chu An, it would really be possible that he would spend a huge sum of money on the top prostitute in a brothel.
Chu Ping held his forehead and said, this is Brother Keng!
The system also found out: [He really is your father's younger brother. ]
Seeing that the system was about to reveal more information, the emperor and his officials immediately cut the Gordian knot.
The Emperor said: "Yu Jiayan, as an official, has been visiting prostitutes for twelve years, knowingly and willfully breaking the law. He disregards the law. From today on, he will be dismissed from his position as Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple and demoted to a commoner. I hope you will take this as a warning."
Officials: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward to take Yu Jiayan away and stuffed the socks around his mouth tighter to prevent him from saying anything nonsense.
The emperor called out again, "Chu Qin."
Chu Huan stepped forward again: "I am here."
The emperor glanced at the distance between himself and Chu Huan, confirmed his eating position, and nodded with satisfaction.
"There's irrefutable evidence that Yu Jiayan was involved with prostitutes. As for Chu Ping's involvement with prostitutes, do you have anything else to say?"
The system did a reading comprehension test: [Sister Huan, is the emperor threatening you?]
Chu Hua: [That's right, what he meant was: I've already completely wiped out Yu Jiayan, the last prostitute. If you can't produce solid evidence, your father's official position will be gone, and yours will be in jeopardy too.]
emperor:"……"
Officials: "..."
You did a good job of guessing the will of God. Don't do it again next time :)
As far as the benefits that the melon-eating system may bring to the Great Sheng Dynasty are concerned, no one else's official position can be taken away from you.
Just be at ease! You little noob from the sixth rank!
Chu Huan replied to the system internally while also replying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in this matter, I believe that my father never visited prostitutes, and the Second Prince did not lie, because the person the Second Prince saw in Chunfeng Tower was most likely not my father, but my father's younger brother Chu An."
He didn't forget to brag to the system: "Did you see that? This tactic not only emphasizes my father's character to the Emperor, but also demonstrates my trust in the Second Prince. I won't offend him, and I'll be a perfectly neutral party. Right now, the Second Prince doesn't seem petty, but his father is so stingy and vindictive, there's no guarantee he won't take revenge later. I'm going to nip this in the bud!"
System: [I understand.]
The stingy and vindictive emperor: "..."
The second prince, who was settling scores later, said: "..."
The officials who knew what was going on said: "..."
You are the only one who can rule the country. With just a few words, you can easily offend the current emperor and the next emperor's strong contender. So stop thinking about it.
Chu Huan, however, didn't sense anything wrong and continued, "Chu An and my father are 50% similar. The Second Prince isn't familiar with my father, and he went to the brothel secretly. He might have made a mistake by mistake."
She put emphasis on "unfamiliar" and "accidental", emphasizing that the second prince's admission of mistake was not intentional, but everyone's attention was on "sneaking into the brothel".
The emperor and all the officials sighed secretly. It was a good thing that Chu Huan was not a real official, otherwise she might not be able to live for many days.
Emperor: "Xiao Ling, you also visit prostitutes?"
How come his ministers and sons are all involved with prostitutes? Is it really that exciting?
The Second Prince hurriedly said, "I don't have any."
Emperor: "Then what are you doing at Chunfeng Tower?"
The Second Prince was stuck, and after a while he lowered his head in shame: "Have some tea."
The whole room was silent.
The emperor and all the officials had the same expression: If you want to lie, at least find a better excuse!
If a man goes to a brothel and doesn't visit prostitutes but only drinks tea, what's the difference between that and a man saying "I just want to rub in, I can't get in"?!
Chu Huan's curiosity piqued: [Tong'er, what's going on?]
The system replied immediately: [I know, I know! ]
[The Second Prince didn't go alone, he brought his wife with him!]
emperor:? ? !
Officials: ? ? !
You two actually play so wildly?!
