Chapter 86: Crazy Fighting and Face Slapping (Part 2)
Yun Zheng was stunned. This was not her arrangement.
Li Wuyang glanced at her calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
If she wants a divorce, then grant her wish!
The emperor was silent and wavered. There was a precedent for canceling an engagement, and it wasn't a divorce, right?
Since this is public opinion, why not just go down the stairs?
An imperial censor stood up and refuted righteously, "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. When her husband's family falls into trouble, the woman immediately escapes. This loophole must not be allowed, otherwise everyone will follow suit and there will be no peace."
He deliberately leaned towards the big picture and used moral kidnapping.
The Minister of Revenue frowned, "You're blurring the focus. Princess Jinyun's case is a special case. The Jiang family deceived her into marriage. There was no wedding ceremony, and her marriage was not recorded in the family tree. She cut her hair to show her determination and openly broke with the Jiang family. Why can't the engagement be annulled?"
This censor had a grudge against Yun Zheng, and under the instructions of the nobles, he kept pestering Yun Zheng.
"What do you mean by breaking off the engagement? It's clearly a divorce. I remember when the Li family's inheritance was divided, the emperor said that divorce is not allowed in this dynasty, only widowhood is allowed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere changed immediately and the emperor frowned slightly.
The Li family inheritance case? What was that? How come I'd never heard of it before? Yun Zheng's curiosity was piqued.
Guyu suddenly interrupted, "You mean, let Jiang Wenzhou die?"
Jiang Wenzhou looked up suddenly.
The Imperial Censor was shocked. "That's not what I meant. Don't frame me like that. From the moment Princess Jinyun signed the marriage certificate, she became a member of the Jiang family."
Gu Yu suddenly walked up to him and lowered his voice, "Li Yushi, do you still want to share the money?"
Censor Li was stunned for a moment, and said with difficulty, "I... am not the kind of person who would bow down for a few pieces of silver..."
Someone from the Mingjing Division suddenly raised their voices, "Princess Jinyun, thank you so much. I just bought a small courtyard in the capital yesterday. It's small and out of the way, but with my salary, I'll never be able to afford it in my lifetime."
"Hehe, I bought it too. I've been struggling for twenty years, and finally it's all thanks to the princess's help. Thank you so much."
"I bought it too. My mom was so happy."
How much is that? Everyone is itching to know!
Censor Li's eyes rolled around and his heart was beating fast. Everyone knew that Princess Jinyun had the ability to turn stone into gold. Anything that leaked from her hands would be enough for them to eat.
Really, do you want to go against money?
Guyu looked at the others, "Who else has any objections?"
Marquis Jingping and Marquis Pingxi are close friends and relatives, with common interests. "I have, I think this matter..."
"Cough." Li Wuyang cleared his throat, and with an indifferent glance, he said coldly, "Marquis Jingping, the woman you keep in Straw Hat Alley is the daughter of a convicted official. How dare you."
This one sentence made Marquis Jingping's face change drastically and he successfully shut up.
The other nobles looked at each other in confusion. Should they continue to snipe Yun Zheng?
You look at me, I look at you, but no one dares to stand up.
If we continue, we will be making an enemy of Jiu Qian Sui. Who would dare?
He is the leader of the Mingjing Division, and he has a lot of negative information about them in his hands. He can kill them in minutes.
Forget it. It’s not worth it to sacrifice myself for the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.
Pingxi Hou's face was ashen, and Jiang Wenzhou was so anxious that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Just let Yun Zheng get away with it? He was unwilling to accept this!
The one who was even more unwilling than him was Ye Yichen. Jealousy gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake, burning her internal organs.
The emperor looked around and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll grant you my permission..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Yizhen interrupted him, "Your Majesty, if Yun Zheng can divorce, I want one too. You can't treat us differently."
The Jiang family looked at her in disbelief. She wanted to run away too? What an ungrateful bitch!
Jiang Wenzhou was shocked and furious, and said anxiously, "Zhenzhen."
He took great care of her and sacrificed a lot to be with her honestly. How could she leave him?
Is it because he is no longer the Prince of Pingxi? Or is it because he is disfigured?
Is he being disliked?
No, no, she is his in life and his ghost in death. There is no way she can get rid of him in this life.
Ye Yizhen gave him a soothing look, secretly indicating that she just wanted to stop Yun Zheng from leaving.
Jiang Wenzhou calmed down temporarily, but he was still worried.
Ye Yizhen shouted, "Your Majesty, everything must be fair and just to win the hearts of the people. I was also deceived. I was originally promised to be the principal wife of the Second Young Master Jiang, but in the end, they turned around and asked for Yun Zheng's hand in marriage for money."
"At first, my marriage certificate also had the name of the Second Young Master Jiang written on it. On the wedding day, I was forced to change it to the name of the First Young Master Jiang. I suffered so much injustice."
She also imitated Yun Zheng and began to call out names, "Master Qin, you were also present at the scene. Is this true?"
Lord Qin's mouth felt bitter, as if he had swallowed a large bowl of coptis root. Why did they all come to him? He really didn't want to offend anyone.
"true."
Ye Yizhen looked at the Minister of Revenue again, "Master Ji, please be a witness as well."
Lord Ji had a very bad impression of her. She was not innocent. He could still vividly remember how she and Jiang Wenzhou teamed up to bully Yun Zheng on the day of their wedding.
"You live in the Marquis' Mansion. How could you not know about such a big thing? Yet, you still chose to cooperate with the Marquis' Mansion to deceive everyone."
Ye Yizhen's face darkened. "Do you have any evidence?"
Lord Ji was silent. How could there be evidence for such a thing?
Ye Yizhen's eyes reddened, and two tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. "I'm just an orphan living in the Marquis' Mansion. I have to depend on the Marquis's approval for everything. I usually stay in my own little courtyard. How could I possibly know about such a big thing?"
She pleaded pitifully, "Your Majesty, please allow me to divorce as well."
The Pingxi Marquis Mansion was in trouble, and she didn't want to be buried with them.
What's more, some people who didn't know the truth actually believed her words and thought she was also a victim.
Yun Zheng knew that the divorce would encounter huge resistance from all sides. The old-fashioned people wanted to uphold etiquette, and the nobles wanted her to be buried with the Pingxi Marquis Mansion. However, she did not expect Ye Yizhen to dare to jump out.
After finally getting such a good opportunity, she jumped out to disrupt the situation and seek death!
It has to be said that this troublemaker who showed up out of nowhere put the emperor in a difficult position.
One is a special case, and the other... is it still?
Ye Yizhen's mouth corners slightly raised. Either she could escape the crime together, or they would be in trouble together.
Just as Yun Zheng was about to make a move, Li Wuyang spoke first, "Your Majesty, Ye Yizhen disobeyed the Empress's order and even colluded with Jiang Wenzhou to steal Princess Jinyun's dowry."
Ye Yizhen said hurriedly, "Nine Thousand Years Old, you..."
Li Wuyang shouted, "How dare you interrupt me when I'm speaking? Slap me in the face."
"Pa pa." The guard immediately stepped forward and slapped him twice. After that, he wiped his hands with disgust. They were so dirty.
Ye Yizhen's face was swollen, and she felt embarrassed and angry.
Li Wuyang bowed to the emperor and said, "Ye Yizhen was an accomplice of Jiang Wenzhou in the attack on the emperor's carriage. The evidence is irrefutable."
Ye Yizhen was furious. "You're talking nonsense. This is a false accusation."
Li Wuyang handed over a confession with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the evidence."
The emperor took it and looked at it, his face changed suddenly.
