Chapter 45 Others are willing to accept their fate, but I won’t!
Xiao Yanci looked at Lu Zhiran, "Miss Lu, thank you."
Lu Zhiran came back to her senses and kowtowed heavily, "Your Highness, I accept your command and thank you!"
After receiving the imperial edict, a bright light flashed in her eyes.
That is the taste of freedom.
Xiao Yanci stood in front of her, his tall figure casting a shadow on her, and his deep and mellow voice penetrated her ears.
"I hope I didn't keep Miss Lu waiting too long."
Lu Zhiran raised her eyes and met that gloomy gaze, and immediately felt a tacit understanding that did not require any words.
Although late, I am here. Waiting for good news.
It turned out that he was the one who sent the letter.
He deliberately delayed the imperial edict just to wait for this opportunity today.
Lu Zhiran was full of doubts.
Choosing today to announce the decree is undoubtedly the most powerful slap in the face for the Chu family, but why would he help himself like this?
Chu Yian stepped forward and interrupted her thoughts.
"The last time you entered the palace, was you asking the Emperor for a divorce decree?"
"yes."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lu Zhiran's face was filled with indifference. "Even if I told you, would you believe it? You would just think I was deliberately provoking you to change your mind."
Chu Yian was choked for a moment.
He really wouldn't believe it, and until now, he still doesn't want to believe it.
This imperial edict was like a slap in the face, shattering his self-esteem and destroying his sanity.
"I just married a concubine. Why did you go so far as to complain directly to the Emperor? What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? All women in the world can accept it, so why can't you?"
Lu Zhiran's eyes were cold. "All women in the world accept this, but do they accept it happily and willingly? This is nothing more than a shackle placed on women by the secular world. Others are willing to accept their fate, but I won't!"
These words were so unorthodox that Chu Yian was filled with disbelief.
Xiao Yanci was also looking at her, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
Jiang couldn't bear this, so she rushed over and yelled at Lu Zhiran, "Do you think you can find a better husband if you leave the Marquis' Mansion? You acted so aggressively and rudely today, no one dared to let you in! An abandoned woman is always an abandoned woman!"
Lu Zhiran was about to refute when Xiao Yanci spoke casually.
"Miss Lu was divorced by imperial decree, but the Marquis' wife has declared her an abandoned wife. How could it be that the Marquis' wife doesn't even take the Emperor's decree seriously?"
Jiang's body trembled, and she immediately denied it.
"I'm not, I didn't mean that."
Xiao Yanci: "This prince understands what you mean."
Chu Dingfeng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My wife is not good at speaking. She has absolutely no intention of disrespecting the emperor."
Jiang also knew that Xiao Yanci was not someone to be trifled with, so she immediately started to back down like a quail.
Xiao Yanci said calmly, "Then slap yourself ten times and reflect on your actions."
Jiang stood there in a daze for a moment, not moving for a long time.
The person in front of him was Xiao Yanci, the most unruly seventh prince. He had a long and bad past, and even Emperor Defeng indulged him.
Many emotions surged in his chest. Chu Dingfeng raised his hand and slapped Jiang with a loud slap. "The Seventh Prince asked you to reflect on yourself, so why are you still standing there?"
Jiang was stunned by his slap, her eyes full of disbelief, but when she met his fierce and warning eyes, Jiang shrank back fiercely.
She raised her hand and slapped herself hard on the face, once, twice, three times...
No one dared to act rashly in front of the Seventh Prince, and the scene was filled with a dull and solemn atmosphere.
After Jiang slapped him ten times, both sides of his cheeks swelled up rapidly.
She could no longer feel any pain, only numbness and a surge of humiliation. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Xiao Yanci slowly took out two more documents from his arms. "This is the divorce agreement. The official seal has been stamped on it. You two just need to sign and put your fingerprints on it. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. Please."
He was so thoughtful that he even prepared the divorce papers early on.
Chu Yian felt like he was stuffing his chest with a ball of cotton, while Lu Zhiran felt it was extremely considerate.
Without hesitation, she picked up the pen, pressed her fingerprints, and finished it in one go.
Chu Yian walked forward with a calm face, quickly signed and put his fingerprints on it, and then didn't even look at it again.
Damn woman, she is so ungrateful, she must regret it in the future!
Lu Zhiran got her own divorce letter, her eyes sparkled with light, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.
Finally escaped from this cage.
Every day in the future will be fresh and comfortable.
very nice.
He turned around and told Cui Fu and Dan Yan, "Go and sort out the things in my yard."
The two responded loudly, "We have already prepared everything and are just waiting for your order. We will have them move out right away!"
This remark slapped the Chu family in the face again. Just as they were about to explode, they heard Xiao Yanci order the people behind him, "All of you go and help count Miss Lu's dowry and move it back to the Lu family. If one item is missing, I will hold you responsible!"
The Chu family swallowed their words back in an instant, not daring to say a word.
Xiao Yanci turned his gaze and looked at Lu Guanxuan.
"Master Lu, Miss Lu has been ordered to divorce and return to her parents' home. Would you not welcome her?"
Lu Guanxuan finally came back to his senses and smiled dryly, "Of course not. How dare I disobey your order?"
"Just because you dare not disobey the order? Lord Lu has no pity for his own daughter?"
Lu Guanxuan's face stiffened at his question, and he quickly tried to make amends, "Your Highness's daughter, I naturally feel sorry for her. It was my inappropriate expression just now that caused you to misunderstand."
Xiao Yanci smiled, "It's okay if I misunderstood you, but please don't let my father misunderstand me. If Miss Lu was wronged in the Lu family, my father would think that you, Lord Lu, were dissatisfied with his will."
Lu Guanxuan raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I dare not, I dare not..."
Seeing Lu Guanxuan being beaten to the point of nodding and bowing in a humble manner, Lu Zhiran felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she had someone backing her up.
It would take some time to count the dowry, so Xiao Yanci walked over to Xiao Baozhu and sat down. The brother and sister ate melon seeds together as if no one was around.
Xiao Baozhu turned around and greeted the other guests, "Everyone, enjoy your meal and drink. Don't be polite."
Everyone: ...
Chu Family: ...
Do you treat this as your own home?
Cui Fu and Dan Yan took Lu Zhiran's dowry list and took back all the things that their daughter had given to Jiang and Chu Yunqing in the past, almost emptying out half of the marquis's mansion.
Nanny Wen wanted to stop them, but Xiao Yanci's men carefully checked and counted them, and found that they were indeed Lu Zhiran's dowry, and the Marquis' Mansion had no right to interfere.
The servants of Yongfuju came hurriedly to report to Jiang, and Jiang's body swayed violently and almost fell down.
When she caught a glimpse of the giant Buddha statue of Xiao Yanci, her face began to burn again.
Even though my flesh was in so much pain, I dared not say a word.
