Chapter 198 Madam, Please Read the Divorce Letter First
"Although the princess is a noble person, you should at least give a reason to make me kneel down, right?"
Yun Wantang looked unyielding.
Before she left Beijing, she was the center of attention wherever she went. In recent years, she has become even more popular in Wengzhou. Being beaten last night was already very humiliating for her, and asking her to kneel in public was really hard for her to accept.
Others also wanted to speak up for Yun Wantang, but thinking of Princess Hengyang's temper, they didn't dare to say anything and could only look at Wen Yanshu.
Princess Hengyang also looked at Wen Yanshu: "Does the Prince Consort want to be a hero and save the beauty?"
Although Wen Yanshu took out the notice of clarification from that year, Princess Hengyang still didn't quite believe that he really had no sympathy for Yun Wantang.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanshu looked at Yun Wantang.
Yun Wantang's eyes were already red, and now tears started to fall.
She had thought that Wen Yanshu, who had just publicly distanced himself from her, would soften his heart after seeing her being bullied. Unexpectedly, she heard Wen Yanshu say, "The princess has been carrying this stigma for nearly ten years, and the Yun family has never publicly clarified it. Madam should apologize to the princess."
“…”
My dear husband, aren't you and the princess having a bad relationship? When did you become so obsessed with your husband?
Wen Yanshu stood on the princess's side, and the others didn't dare to speak. After a moment of stalemate, Yun Wantang finally knelt down.
After dealing with Yun Wantang, Princess Hengyang found out all those who took advantage of the chaos to secretly attack Chunxi and punished them one by one.
Princess Hengyang calmed down, and the prosecutor dared to let the people go back.

Chunxi woke up from hunger in the evening.
Her head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode. A glass of water was brought to her mouth. She drank three glasses before she finally came to her senses. Then she found herself back home, with Shen Qingyuan by her side.
Didn’t she go to the princess’s residence to taste wine? When did she come back?
Chunxi was very hungry and wanted to find something to eat. As soon as he got out of bed, he felt pain all over his body.
"Hiss~" Chunxi gasped, frowned and asked Shen Qingyuan, "Husband, why do I feel so painful all over my body? Did you beat me when I was drunk?"
"Madam, think about it carefully. Was it me who hit you?"
Shen Qingyuan asked back, his tone ambiguous. Chunxi felt inexplicably uneasy and hurriedly recalled everything carefully.
She went to the princess's house to taste wine. The princess had a great time chatting with her. The princess said she would take her to a nice place to watch the stars. Then they went out on horseback, and then...
Chunxi's eyes widened, and she looked at Shen Qingyuan in disbelief: "The princess and I got into a fight together?"
At the end of his speech, Chunxi's voice trembled uncontrollably, and he hoped very much that it was just a dream he had after getting drunk.
However, the next moment, Shen Qingyuan poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Madam not only beat him up, but also made it known to the whole city. I'm afraid even His Majesty and the Queen Mother know about it now."
“…”!!!
Chunxi froze in place.
She vaguely remembered beating Shen Qingchi and many other prominent ladies from aristocratic families.
Although she was drunk and was still with Princess Hengyang, those who were beaten could not do anything to the princess and would definitely hold her accountable.
Didn't she offend a lot of people last night?
Drinking really does cause trouble. How could she get into such a big trouble?
Chunxi lowered her eyes and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to break the deadlock. After a while, she mustered up the courage to look up at Shen Qingyuan.
"Husband."
Shen Qingyuan remained silent, just looking at her quietly. Chunxi clenched her fists and said word by word, "I got drunk and caused a lot of trouble. I don't know how many powerful ladies I offended. Please divorce me."
Without waiting for Shen Qingyuan to speak, Chunxi continued.
"Although this crime isn't punishable by death, it will have endless consequences. I don't know how many people in the court will secretly try to trip you up. The only way to avoid your wrath is to divorce me..."
"good."
Before Chunxi finished speaking, Shen Qingyuan agreed.
Although Chunxi was the one who brought up the topic, Shen Qingyuan answered so readily that Chunxi still felt a little uneasy.
"Husband agreed to divorce me?"
Shen Qingyuan asked back, "This was Madam's own suggestion. Could it be that Madam was just saying it and doesn't want me to agree?"
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I feel that after all, we have been married for half a year, I can at least keep her together.
Chunxi felt a pang of grief in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She shook her head and said, "No, I really don't want to burden my husband. I hope everything goes well for him in the future and he will have a prosperous career."
Shen Qingyuan followed her words and said, "Thanks to Madam, I am now living alone in a separate residence. My stepmother has passed away, and I am also highly valued by His Majesty. Not only will my career be prosperous in the future, but it will also be easy for me to remarry."
“…”
My lord, I haven't even left yet, and you're already talking about remarrying. Isn't that a bit too heartless?
Chunxi's heart felt like it was soaked in a jar of vinegar.
Although Shen Qingyuan's promotion and current wealth had little to do with her, she felt suffocated when she thought that another woman would be sleeping next to him in the near future.
But no matter how depressed she was, she had already made a big mistake, and she couldn't drag Shen Qingyuan down with her.
Chunxi forced herself to cheer up: "Yes, my husband is so good, there will definitely be many girls who like him."
Shen Qingyuan was very decisive and immediately went to the study to write a "divorce letter".
Chunxi's nose turned sore when she saw him stamp his private seal on the "divorce letter".
Shen Qingyuan handed the "divorce letter" to Chunxi: "Madam, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Chunxi was almost crying. She had no intention of reading it. She took the "divorce letter" and folded it up directly.
"My husband was the top scholar in the imperial examination. This letter of divorce must be written with great literary talent. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it. I'll go pack my bags now."
Returning to the main courtyard, opening the wardrobe and looking at everything familiar, all the details of my time with Shen Qingyuan over the past few months flooded into my mind.
Chunxi suddenly realized that she had already regarded this place as her home, and Shen Qingyuan was the closest and most inseparable person to her in this world.
Tears rolled down uncontrollably, Chunxi was so sad that she couldn't breathe, and her shoulders were shaking.
At this time, Shen Qingyuan's voice came from behind: "Is Madam crying?"
Unable to stop crying, Chunxi simply stopped pretending and said in a muffled voice, "My husband has been very good to me these past few months. I love him and can't bear to leave him. It's only natural for me to cry."
"If you're so sad why don't you stay?"
"Although I am sad, I don't want to bring trouble to my husband and ruin his future. A good person like my husband should become a high-ranking official and benefit the country."
“…”
Shen Qingyuan stopped trying to persuade her and just watched Chunxi crying while packing her things.
In just a few months, Chunxi bought a lot of things, and with the rewards from the Queen and the gifts from Madam Xiao, it would take a while for her to collect them all.
She turned her head to look at Shen Qingyuan and asked softly, "Sir, there are too many things. Can I stay here for a few more days? Three days is okay?"
Chunxi was really sad, her eyes and nose were red from crying, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful.
Shen Qingyuan sighed secretly and said helplessly: "Madam, please take a look at the contents of the divorce letter before you get busy."
What's so good about a divorce letter?
But thinking that she might have few opportunities to see Shen Qingyuan in the future, Chunxi still took out the "divorce letter" and looked at it obediently.
Father-in-law, your daughter Ah Xi is so heartless.
When I saw the first sentence of Chunxi, my mind was stuck.
Wait a minute, what is this written about?
