How could Jiang Zhichen be Jiang Feng's opponent as a general? After a while, he was beaten until he lay on the ground unable to move.
The guards on the side saw it and didn't care. The old general and Wen Yuan were standing there without saying anything, so they shouldn't join in the fun.
"Old General, I'm here to lead you."
The eunuch knew that Wen Yuan had a good relationship with the Jiang family and would not care about these things, so she felt at ease and led the way for the old general first. Of course, Wen Yuan did not care about these things. After all, in her eyes, the old general was highly virtuous and highly respected. 's elders.
Jiang Zhichen was carried all the way to Yangxin Hall by two guards. The emperor had heard some rumors before they came, so he looked very bad now.
"Have a seat, sit down quickly, your legs and feet are not good."
Looking at the old general, the emperor wanted to see himself no longer young for some reason, "I made the decision and agreed to this marriage at the beginning, but I didn't expect that it would turn out like this. Alas."
Jiang Mian took this opportunity to hand over the divorce letter he had written to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the divorce letter I wrote. My daughter, Jiang Mian, wants to divorce this heartless and unjust hypocrite. I also hope that the emperor will be my daughter." Call the shots.”
After saying that, she knelt on the ground, and then the old general also knelt down, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the loyalty of generations of veterans, please agree to this request of my daughter. Who would have thought that a child raised by me would have One day he will become the person who hurts my family the most."
The old general had been showing symptoms for many years, and he had shed blood and sweat, but he had never shed a tear. Even the emperor could not help but be moved, "I understand, but... there is no such law in the Dragon Kingdom. Men have always divorced their wives, never before." I’ve heard of women divorcing their husbands.”
"Since women will be abandoned if they do something wrong, why can't men abandon women if they do something wrong? Your Majesty, sometimes thousands of people benefit from making a little change."
The emperor looked very embarrassed. Jiang Zhichen on the side took advantage of the time to quickly defend himself, "Holy sage, I have never heard of a woman divorcing her husband in this world. It is simply contrary to common sense. Besides, it is not for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It's a normal thing, she won't let me take a concubine and elevate my wife, but in the final analysis she has committed the sin of seven outings."
"I think you've lost your mind and gone crazy, you beast!"
No one thought that Jiang Mian would kick Jiang Zhichen in front of the emperor, "If my family hadn't given you a mouthful of food, would you have achieved what you have today?! I said on the day we got married, I wouldn't They will allow you to take concubines, let alone have any equal wives. Now you are saying that I am guilty of jealousy, why did you go there?!"
Jiang Mian was very excited, and Wen Yuan quickly stopped her, "Don't be angry. It's not good for your health. I believe the emperor will give you a satisfactory answer."
It was rare that Wen Yuan did not put pressure on the emperor this time, because she knew that the emperor actually liked Jiang Mian very much, and not out of any interests, but simply liked the child.
Not to mention that his son is still interested in Jiang Mian, so as long as Jiang Mian is good, his son can be good.
But she could also see that the emperor was very embarrassed, so Wen Yuan didn't mind being the villain.
She stepped forward and threatened the emperor secretly, "Your Majesty should also know the relationship between Jiang Mian and me. The two of us are as good as sisters. Even if you don't let her divorce her husband today, I will let Jiang Zhichen You have to pay the price, so for the sake of looking good on everyone’s faces, I might as well just agree.”
The emperor knew that Wen Yuan's attitude when talking to him today had become much more restrained. He was a little moved to save face for himself in front of so many people.
But this is after all a major matter that affects the laws of the Dragon Kingdom. It is impossible to agree so easily. If he really agrees, then he, the emperor, will become a decoration.
Therefore, the emperor did not immediately agree with Wen Yuan's words, but instead asked his confidants to investigate the matter.
This confused Wen Yuan, "Now that the witnesses are here, what else needs to be investigated? If physical evidence is needed, how about I go and bring the bowl of water for the blood test now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has become an indisputable fact that Jiang Zhichen betrayed my daughter, why do we still need to investigate?" The old general was also quite dissatisfied.
If only the old general and Jiang Feng were here, the emperor could dismiss them just by saying anything, but now Wen Yuan is also here waiting for the result, and the emperor feels in a dilemma.
He not only wanted to save his own face and not be influenced by Wen Yuan, but also wanted to avenge Jiang Mian.
Seeing that he still had hope, Jiang Zhichen stopped being paralyzed. He jumped up and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have never done anything to regret Jiang Mian. Ah Rong and I have known each other since we were young. We can't help it. I just It’s just a mistake that every man makes.”
It was so shameless, Wen Yuan wanted to hit him when he heard it.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhichen had no intention of shutting up, and continued: "I really like Ah Rong so much, that's why I took this step. I thought that after she has a child, Ah Mian will never stop me from welcoming her." When I came in, I didn't expect that it would cause today's disaster, but I didn't mean to do it, it's not that I don't love Amian anymore... After a night of kindness, how could I not love her anymore."
It was okay to deceive Jiang Mian in the past, but now she doesn't like this trick anymore, "You said you love me, right?"
Seeing the man nod, Jiang Mian sneered and said, "Then replace the ancestral home with my name, and I will believe you."
"How is this possible? That is my Jiang family's old house."
Jiang Zhichen's words revealed his thoughts. Jiang Mian looked at him with a half-smile, "You gave me the house and we can rebuild our old relationship. What do you want?"
After saying that, the old general pulled Jiang Mian away, "Mien'er, are you crazy about him? He treated you like that and you still want to live with him?"
Only Wen Yuan saw Jiang Mian's true thoughts and said with added jealousy: "Oh, Amian, if you want to reconcile with him, I won't stop you. After all, you still have three children. Broken bones and tendons, and then After all, you are also the mother of his child, can you really let go of everything?"
With Wen Yuan's words, Jiang Zhichen seemed to understand something, "I can give you that house now, as long as you can forgive me."
"There is no proof for what you say. I know that you have always carried the land deed with you in the space. You should take it to the government to change it first. Let's pretend that what happened today never happened."
Before leaving, Jiang Zhichen still had some doubts, "I don't think this is appropriate. Otherwise, you can swear an oath in front of everyone. If you swear, I will take the land deed to the government and change it to your name."
It was just an oath, Jiang Mian said as he said, "I, Jiang Mian, if I still make unreasonable troubles and insist on divorcing my husband after getting Jiang Zhichen's ancestral home, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from heaven and will never be reincarnated."
No one can say for sure about life and death. Normally Jiang Zhichen would not have believed such an oath, but today he was also anxious and took Jiang Mian to the government office with the land deed without thinking.
With Wen Yuan by his side, everything became easier, and soon the land deed changed to Jiang Mian's name.
The two looked at each other and saw calculation in each other's eyes.
Jiang Mian put the land deed away, "Okay, now let's go back to the palace and explain it to the emperor and father and brother, so as not to misunderstand you."
Jiang Zhichen is really shameless. He did those things and now he still has the shame to hug Jiang Mian's waist.
However, for the benefit of the future, it would be okay for Jiang Mian to give him this offer.
The three of them returned to the palace. The old general looked at the land deed with Jiang Mian's name written on it and burst out in anger, "You forgive him just for that shabby house? What does our family want?! You want the house?" , no matter how old a father is, he can buy it for you, so why bother, daughter!"
Jiang Zhichen was about to call his father-in-law, but before he could speak, Jiang Mian knelt in front of the emperor again, "Your Majesty, I still have a complaint to make!"
"What?"
"Jiang Zhichen and Hu Zhirong have a child before they are married. According to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, anyone who commits adultery will be punished with an eighty-year-old cane for both men and women. Those who are married will be punished with a ninety-year cane."
Everyone present was shocked when they heard such words, especially the Jiang family father and son and Jiang Zhichen. They were all wondering whether Wen Yuan had taught Jiang Mian to say this.
But there is indeed such a law. The emperor seemed to have grasped the handle of the two and called people in with a smile, "Come here! Drag Jiang Zhichen and Hu outside and beat them with ninety sticks each!"
She was punished with ninety sticks, and she was disabled even if she was not dead. Hu Zhirong cried and begged the emperor to forgive her, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty! The crime of a common woman will not lead to death!"
"What's the use of begging? That's what the laws of the Dragon Kingdom are like." Jiang Mian proudly walked to Jiang Zhichen's side, "If you want to use the law to suppress me, I will talk to you about the law."
Jiang Zhichen didn't expect Jiang Mian to be so cruel, "Have you forgotten the oath you just swore?! The sky will strike with five thunderbolts and you will never be reincarnated, Jiang Mian!"
"Hahahaha! Fortunately, you are still a military strategist, and you have read poetry and learned a lot. Who can say accurately about life and death? If you believe this, you deserve to end up like you did today!"
After saying that, the man was dragged out by the eunuch to walk with his cane. Jiang Mian knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, I want to divorce my husband."
The emperor had to look at Wen Yuan and found that she was chatting with Shen Huaiyan and did not pay attention to what was going on here. The emperor's voice was full of energy, "Son, I know you are wronged, but... this is indeed unreasonable, otherwise I will order you to How about Renheli and letting him cleanse himself and leave the house?"
"No." In fact, Wen Yuan had been listening secretly. She didn't expect Jiang Mian to be so stubborn this time.
"Why not?" The emperor's voice was a little higher, presumably to scare Jiang Mian.
But Jiang Mian has given up completely. What she wants is absolute justice, "Because those who divorce are all couples whose relationships have broken down. Men divorce their wives because their wives have made mistakes. Now that my husband has made a mistake, I also want to divorce." husband."
The emperor never expected that Jiang Mian, who was usually soft-spoken, would talk to him like this today. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Wen Yuan on the side, "Yes, Your Majesty, Dragon Kingdom is such an open country, why do women Why can't she divorce her husband? Moreover, Jiang Zhichen went too far this time. He lied to Jiang Mian for so long. Besides, it would be good for her future husband if Jiang Mian settled the matter decently. Otherwise, At that time, there were wild rumors among the people that she divorced because of something, and it would be of no benefit to herself, the General's Mansion, or her future husband."
Wen Yuan's words completely moved the emperor. Even if he didn't think about others, he still had to think about his own son. Besides, he was a son he liked so much.
