After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 34: Divorce or Get a Divorce
After saying that, Ma Caidie knelt down and said, "This humble woman wants a divorce."

Upon hearing that Ma Caidie wanted a divorce, Wang Qi struggled to go over and beat that bitch to death.

"You slut, you still want a divorce? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Hahaha, your lover is dead. Why don't you just give in to me and let you taste what it's like to be a woman?"

Wang Qi finally saw himself reflected in Ma Caidie's face. Seeing that Ma Caidie was no longer ignoring him, he continued, "Let me tell you, even in death you will only be a ghost of the Wang family. Don't even think about getting rid of me. I will never divorce you."

Ma Caidie was seething with hatred. If Wang Qi didn't agree to a divorce, it would be very difficult for her to get rid of him.

At this moment, Fang Lingchu exclaimed, "Wow, this woman is actually pregnant!"

Fang Lingchu's heartfelt words instantly woke up Lin Daya, who was still unconscious.

Lin Daya looked at her son with excitement; the Wang family now had an heir.

Wang Qi was also surprised by this thought, as he had never had an heir.

Ma Caidie smiled, calmly sat back down, and said, "Are you sure you don't want a divorce? If I'm not mistaken, your body is probably weakened, and it will be difficult for you to have children in the future."

Wang Qi glared at her and said, "It was you, wasn't it? What did you do to my body?"

Ma Caidie rolled her eyes inelegantly and said, "Your mother took my dowry the day after we got married. Now that you have money, you don't think about how to make it grow, you only think about indulging in pleasure. With your body, what do you need me to do?"

Everyone looked at Wang Qi's body; his eyes were sunken, and he was so thin that he looked like skin and bones. Even though he was wearing clothes made of fine fabric, it couldn't change the fact that he was inherently weak.

He was pinned to the ground by a bailiff and couldn't move at all.

Wang Qi felt his male dignity was challenged, and he was so angry that he wanted to immediately take the woman in front of him and let her know how powerful he was as a man.

At the same time, Wang Qi felt even angrier as everyone's gaze fell on him. He said to the onlookers, "What are you looking at? I am a scholar, a man of high rank. I am far better than you lowly commoners."

Then he looked at Ma Caidie and said, "You bitch, let me tell you, I am a scholar who passed the imperial examination. Our dynasty has clearly stipulated that no one is allowed to interfere with the candidates' examinations for any reason. Let me tell you, dream on if you want a divorce. When I pass the imperial examinations, I will make sure your Ma family is wiped out."

Fang Lingchu asked the system, puzzled, "Does the Dragon Kingdom have this law?"

The system said: [Yes, and if a woman wants to divorce her husband, she has to be beaten 50 times before she can do so. Also, if the husband is not at fault, the woman cannot divorce him, but the man can. Tsk tsk tsk, anyway, the law is very harsh on married women.]

Fang Lingchu sighed and said, "Even in our time, the law couldn't protect women, let alone in this patriarchal era."

Then no one could hear what the two people were saying.

Fang Lingchu realized that the divorce cooling-off period in her world was no different from this one!

This is also why she doesn't want to get married; she is very afraid of death and is afraid of marriage.

Ma Caidie continued, "Are you sure? If you don't get a divorce now, do you believe I'll make your only son an illegitimate child?"

After all, Ma Caidie was a young lady from the General's Mansion, someone who started to get arrogant even before becoming an official.

Wang Qi looked at Ma Caidie in disbelief and said, "You dare?"

Ma Caidie said nonchalantly, "What do I have to be afraid of? If you don't agree to a divorce, I will still divorce you, but I will definitely make your son an adulterer and beat him to death." According to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, if a man gives birth to a child without his wife's consent and without the wife's recognition, he is considered an adulterer.

Children born out of wedlock are not entitled to inherit their parents' property, cannot keep vigil after their parents' death, and in serious cases, are not even eligible to participate in the imperial examinations.

Wang Qi glared fiercely at Ma Caidie and angrily wrote down the divorce papers.

After all, General Pingxi was about to return, and His Majesty valued military prowess, so he dared not gamble with his future.

Wang Qi glared at Ma Caidie through gritted teeth, and at the same time, he also hated the Ma family.

Fang Lingchu looked at it and said to the system: "[This Ma Caidie is really ruthless, and she's also incredibly smart. She's also a sister-complex character. It's amazing, she completely hits my sweet spot.]"

Although Ma Caidie didn't know what "Xinba" was, she could feel Fang Lingchu's affection for her, and blushed with embarrassment.

Seeing Ma Caidie blushing slightly, Fang Lingchu started screaming again, saying, "A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. I love her personality so much! I wonder if the Emperor would allow me to bring her to the Ministry of Works?"

Fang Lingchu recently heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family had become the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and the second daughter of the Su family had become the Imperial Academy, which is why she had this idea.

The system said: [I don't know, but she's good at farming. There's no use in you going there; it's better to make the most of her.]

Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed. Then she remembered the Crown Prince's pot of potatoes, which he would probably take away.

She had finally met such an interesting young lady, but she couldn't have her, and Fang Lingchu was a little tearful.

Fang Lingchu will no longer have this idea in the future.

Everyone was surprised that Fang Lingchu had this power, and those with ulterior motives were already trying to curry favor with her.

Ma Caidie never expected that she would be chosen by the princess. She was a divorced woman who could not return to her parents' home and was all alone. If...

Ma Caidie was very excited. If she really had the opportunity to work with the princess, even if it was just to accompany her, she would have the chance to enter the officialdom and become like the princess.

Hearing the rest, Ma Caidie's heart sank to the bottom. She knew it was impossible; she was a divorced person.

This country is not very friendly to divorced women; they only have two options: either remarry or enter a nunnery.

However, Ma Caidie quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with living a life of quiet contemplation and religious devotion.

After Wang Qi finished writing the letter of divorce and showed it to everyone, it finally reached Ma Caidie.

“You’re a perfectly reasonable slut. Do you think anyone will want you after you leave me? Your mother will send you home, but where else can you go but a nunnery? You’ll be begging me to remarry you.”

Ma Caidie didn't look at him again, and then said, "You've used up almost all of my dowry, so the compensation you've used up is all gone. From now on, I have nothing to do with your Wang family."

Upon hearing Ma Caidie's words, Fang Lingchu asked the system, "Why can't Ma Caidie get her dowry back?"

The system stated: "Dragon Kingdom law stipulates that if the woman initiates a divorce, she must compensate the man with half of her dowry to appease his family for the loss of their matriarch and the lack of household management."
