Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cripple Zhao panicked and hurriedly scolded He Cuilian for being uncouth.
A woman’s virtue was like a mountain, a shackle in the hearts of many won.
He Cuilian bit her lip. After a long while, she retorted, “You are the one without any virtue.”
Everyone laughed loudly. Cripple Zhao was so angry that his face was ashen. He scolded the n, “Laugh, you’re still laughing. Your wives will try to divorce you when you return ho later!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the n’s expressions imdiately changed. They changed their stand and slandered He Cuilian for being shaless, that she was already anxious to find a man before the divorce.
He Cuilian was a weak woman after all. She was shocked by the n’s eloquence, but no woman stood up for He Cuilian because they were afraid of being implicated.
Until Cui Lingyi stood up from the crowd and said angrily, “The virtues of won have long been abolished. Are you questioning the Great Empress?”
In an instant, the n obediently shut up.
He Cuilian looked at Cui Lingyi gratefully. Cui Lingyi comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. The marriage law will uphold justice for you!”
He Cuilian mustered her courage again and said firmly, “Lord, I want a divorce!”
If she had so hesitation before, now, Cripple Zhao had completely stripped away that hesitation.
Cripple Zhao was furious. He rushed forward and wanted to hit soone, but he was stopped by the officials on the spot.
Cui Lingyi was the Great Empress’s good friend. Her presence here ant that the Great Empress had been secretly paying attention to this case.
Lord Shi imdiately felt his scalp tingle and asked Cripple Zhao if he would accept the divorce.
If half of his assets were to be taken away, he would beco the greatest joke in history. Of course, Cripple Zhao refused.
If he refused, Lord Shi could only follow the divorce procedure.
First, they had to confirm all the assets of Cripple Zhao and He Cuilian and confirm if La Zhao had really made a mistake. Finally, they need to obtain all evidence before making a decision.
It was impossible to finish the case in a day.
The won followed the discussion eagerly, while the n waited uneasily to berate the marriage law.
Finally, seven days later, the case was tried again. Lord Shi confird He Cuilian’s decision to get a divorce and confird all the assets under her na.
Cripple Zhao realized that the apartnt he had bought for Su Yue and all the things he had bought had been converted into silver and included in the assets. He said in disbelief, “This is my silver. Don’t I have the right to use it?”
Lord Shi said what the won were looking forward to. “All your assets were saved up after marriage. He Cuilian has the right to control the couple’s common assets, so these things should be included.”
Cripple Zhao was petrified. At the sa ti, he regretted showing off so openly when he bought sothing for Su Yue. If he had not been so flamboyant, Lord Shi would definitely not have been able to find out.
The won’s eyes lit up. They couldn’t wait to go back and snatch things from the vixens.
The n imdiately wailed. In the past few days, their wives were about to fly above their heads. If they waited for this case to be settled, how could they live freely in the future?
After four hours of careful trial, He Cuilian’s divorce was finally approved and she obtained 60% of the couple’s joint assets. Her daughter, Zhao Yuxiang, was already an adult and could freely choose to follow either party.
Even if the couple remarried after the divorce, Zhao Yuxiang had the legal right to inherit the assets. Of course, she had to bear the corresponding responsibility of taking care of her parents.
After the children left their fathers, they could still get a share of the family assets. The won’s eyes were about to shoot lasers.
Especially those won who had always wanted to leave their husbands but could not bear to part with their children, their hearts were in turmoil.
Although she was being pointed at, after Cripple Zhao and He Cuilian had successfully divorced, Su Yue was still happy.
After all, Cripple Zhao’s remaining 40% family assets were considered generous. They could still live a good life.
Su Yue took the initiative to look for the dejected Cripple Zhao, but the way he looked at her changed. He angrily told her to get lost.
Cripple Zhao wanted to be envied by everyone, not beco a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes. There were even people who took their anger out on him because of the Great Empress’ marriage law and even threatened to teach him a lesson.
All of this was because of Su Yue!
Su Yue was a jinx. If not for her, how could he have been bewitched and want to divorce He Cuilian, causing the Great Empress to be involved and the current outco?
40% of his assets! The villa could only be sold and divided evenly.
Even if he worked in the workshop for his entire life, he might not be able to earn back 60% of his assets.
At the thought that He Cuilian would marry another man and use his money to give birth to a child that did not belong to him, the more Cripple Zhao disliked Su Yue.
In order to ensure Cripple Zhao’s divorce, Su Yue had done everything except for the last step. Now, she had not gained any benefits and her reputation had been ruined. How could Su Yue be willing to accept this? “Are you still a man! Weren’t you the one who said that you will be responsible for and marry ?”
Cripple Zhao sneered. “I’m already divorced. What kind of woman can’t I find? Why should I find a withered woman?”
Previously, he liked Su Yue and could choose to ignore it. Now that he disliked Su Yue, Su Yue’s past beca the sharpest knife in his mouth.
Su Yue was only strong on the surface, so how could she not care? She staggered back a few steps. Cripple Zhao still said angrily, “If I play with soone like you, I’ll only feel dirty!”
The gazes and comnts of the people around her were like sharp arrows that pierced her heart.
She just wanted to make herself live better. What was wrong with that!
Su Yue’s eyes turned red as she squatted on the ground with heartache. Granny Su squeezed in and protected her daughter in her arms. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Mother has a job. Mother will raise you for the rest of your life!”
Su Yue hid in Granny Su’s warm arms and finally couldn’t help but cry. “Mother She regretted it so much.
When Xu Ke returned ho, his concubine, Lin Zhen’er, was carrying a bag in her right hand and holding her daughter’s hand in her left. She bade him farewell. “Let’s part ways. Qiaoqiao won’t co back to fight for the family assets in the future. Master, don’t look for us in the future.”
Xu Ke was imdiately stunned. “What did you say?”
Lin Zhen’er thought that she had made herself clear enough. After thinking for a mont, she opened her bag and said, “These things were given to by Master, and Madam doesn’t want to fight over it. Just treat it as Qiaoqiao’s dowry. I’ve served Master for so many years, so we’re even.”
Xu Ke was furious. He grabbed her arm. “Don’t even think about leaving with my daughter!”
Lin Zhen’er’s eyes moved with an unprecedented spirit. She smiled and said, “I’ve already submitted a letter to the governnt. If Lord Xu wants to imprison us, you can try.”
The delicate and weak concubine actually beca firm. Xu Ke looked unconvinced, but he quickly reacted and said gently, “You don’t have a job. How can you raise a child? If you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the child.”
However, Lin Zhen’er had already made full preparations. She raised her head and looked straight at Xu Ke with a burning gaze. “There’s no need for you to worry, Sir. I’ve already found a job. I’ll teach at Qinghe Girls’ Academy. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely raise Qiaoqiao well and let her grow up happily..”
