No matter how bad his brain was, he remembered it at this time.

For a moment, Ge Dongqing's face turned purple and white, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground. Then he quickly got up. This was not his home. If someone saw this, he would never be able to stand up straight again in his life.

Lu Siniang gritted her teeth and lashed Ge Dongqing with the whip again. She continued to press him, "You haven't remembered yet, have you? I have a few more words here. I'm sure you'll remember them. 'A thousand gold wedding dress, a dowry, and a hundred treasures. Everything is ready, waiting for your order.'"

With a snap, Ge Dongqing's hand was torn to pieces. Lu Siniang roared, "Do you remember everything?"

Ge Dongqing was beaten so hard that he cried. The wounds on his body were piled up one after another. Unable to bear the humiliation and suffering, Ge Dongqing chose to beg for mercy: "Madam, please calm down! Madam, my wife!"

With a 'snap' sound, another whip landed on Ge Dongqing's body. "I just want to ask you, do you remember it or not? If you don't remember it, I, Lu Si Niang, will continue to help you recall it."

Ge Dongqing was frightened by the beating. He could not bear Lu Si Niang's whipping and could only shout, "I remember it now, I remember it now, Madam, please stop beating me. If you continue, someone will die."

The noise outside had long since drowned out the sound of drums and music in the hall. Wan Lianxing's face gradually grew darker. His poor brother must have been beaten.

The musicians stopped playing, the dancers stopped dancing, and they all just lowered their heads, waiting for Wan Lianxing's decision. The ministers also began to whisper, wanting to know what was going on outside. At this time, Suiying ran in with a smile on his face. The first thing he said was: "Fighting has started, fighting has started."

Hearing this, Wan Lianxing leaned heavily on the dragon throne and said, "Why are you so happy about the fight? Why don't you just pull away?"

Suiying, who wanted to watch the fun, grinned as if he had found money, and said gloatingly: "Why should I get involved in the affairs between a couple?"

At this time, the ministers began to discuss, "Lord Ge is a gentleman, and he beats his wife in the palace, in the hall. Isn't that right?"

Another minister spoke up: "Even rabbits bite people, not to mention that charming Fu Liu is waiting to be married."

When Wan Lianxing heard this, his eyebrows raised and his eyes widened, "Who wants to marry me?"

All the ministers kept their mouths shut, not saying a word. Only Suiying laughed and said, "Fu Liu is in a hurry to marry."

Wan Lianxing hadn't counted the number of times this name had reached his ears. He angrily slammed his hand on the dragon table and said, "Nonsense! Lu Si Niang was married to me, and she's a third-rank imperial consort. Who dares to divorce her?"

Suiying explained: "It's not about getting Lu Si Niang out of the house, it's about divorcing her."

"Nonsense." Wan Lianxing's face turned green with anger. He flicked his sleeves vigorously and stood up to walk out. A group of impatient ministers followed him, fearing that they would miss the good show of Ge Dongqing killing his wife for the sake of justice.

Wan Lianxing was walking in the front. The moment he saw Ge Dongqing, his face turned pale and ugly. He cursed Ge Dongqing in his heart, calling him "useless," and then he raised his voice and shouted, "What are you two doing so early in the morning?"

Ge Dongqing, who was beaten to a pulp, was kneeling on the ground. When he heard Wan Lianxing's voice, he fell to the ground and died. Lying down was much more beautiful than kneeling. Seeing this, Wan Lianxing thought to himself, "He is smart," otherwise his lifelong wisdom would have been half ruined by this brother.

Even the knowledgeable ministers were completely baffled. They whispered to each other like flies, "Oh, that's not right! This doesn't look like Lord Ge scolding his wife. It's clearly Ge Dongqing being beaten! Look at the wounds on his body; blood is seeping out through his clothes."

A minister said calmly, "The injury is serious."

Another minister rubbed his eyes and said, "Hey, was Ge Dongqing kneeling to Lu Siniang just now? Am I seeing things?"

One person shook his head repeatedly, incredulous. "Could it be that our eloquent Lord Ge couldn't withstand a few lashes? Was he begging for mercy just now? He looked miserable!"

A minister with poor eyesight corrected the previous remarks, "Lord Ge didn't kneel before Lu Si Niang at all. Wasn't that person lying on the ground? Sigh? Ge Dongqing's body is twitching. Could he be suffering from some kind of acute illness?"

Ge Dongqing was not suffering from an acute illness, nor was he twitching in pain. He was crying with his head buried in the ground, feeling aggrieved, lamenting his miserable life and marrying such a fierce and shrewish woman.

At this time, Lu Si Niang put the horse whip in her hand into her waist, then knelt on her knees and said with a determined look in her eyes: "I beg the emperor to make the decision for me, Lu Si Niang."

Wan Lianxing looked at Ge Dongqing who was secretly wiping tears on the ground. He hated him in his heart. He had never seen such a useless man. He gritted his teeth in his heart but did not show it on his face, because Ge Dongqing was not whipped for no reason. There must be a reason for him to be beaten.

All the men thought that Lu Si Niang was blaming them, but Wan Lianxing guessed that Ge Dongqing was just being cocky. "Siniang, please speak. As long as you are right, I will definitely stand up for you."

"I wish to divorce Ge Dongqing. From now on, we will be separated by vast distances and never see each other again. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Ge Dongqing no longer cared about his face at this time. He got up from the ground. The moment Lu Siniang wanted to divorce him, he had already lost all his face.

The ministers behind the emperor were all so shocked that they cried out in disbelief. They didn't start to criticize Lu Siniang, but blurted out old-fashioned and dogmatic words, "From ancient times to the present, men have always been the ones to divorce their wives, and no woman has ever dared to divorce her husband. Lu Siniang is so bold! She is going against the grain and is a heretic."

Another minister whispered, "That makes sense for Lord Ge to divorce his wife. Such a fierce woman should be divorced. If she isn't, it will bring misfortune to the family."

Another minister expressed his own opinion. He was an admirer of Fu Liu from Jiao Man Lou and had been meeting with her in secret. Half of his monthly salary went to Fu Liu. Even when he heard yesterday that Fu Liu was going to marry Ge Dongqing, he still stood on Fu Liu's side and spoke for her regardless of right or wrong. "Miss Fu Liu is so talented and educated. I am Lord Ge, and I am divorcing you too."

Wan Lianxing listened to the words of these ministers secretly in his heart. He probably knew why Ge Dongqing whipped her. Fu Liu, a girl from a brothel, had a very high voice. It seemed that this person had deceived his ministers many times and was really a disaster.
