Cut off my tendons in my hands and feet to make me marry? Prepare to die!

Lanyue Garden of Dingbei Palace.

Song sat in Yue Zihuan's study, laughing with relief:

"That little bitch should have learned by now what it means that a mouthful of spit can drown a person!"

Yue Zihuan sat in front of the window holding a book, reading quietly, a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but he didn't say a word.

Yue Ran eliminated his spies in Prince Dingbei's Palace one by one, but so what?

Standing behind him was the crown prince of Great Chu and the most intelligent woman in the entire capital of Great Chu.

On the day when he was confined by his father, he asked his most trusted servant to pass the message to Feng Xiaolou.

He knew that Xiaolou would never let him suffer such a huge loss in vain.

Song said with great joy:

"Yesterday, Madam Ling sent me another message, saying that Yue Ran was so unfaithful to her husband that she soiled her body before she even got married. Her nephew was so angry that he smashed several sets of fine porcelain. But he was still willing to endure some grievances and was willing to consider letting Yue Ran marry into their family. But there was a condition. He had to make the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son his wife. Yue Ran's current reputation meant that she could only be a co-wife!"

Song curled her lips after she finished speaking. In her opinion, being a co-wife was already an honor for Yue Ran. She was no longer a virgin, and being able to become a concubine was considered a compliment to Yue Ran.

Upon hearing this, Yue Zihuan couldn't help but pinch his nose.

My mother thinks too simply.

This incident directly tarnished Yue Ran's reputation, but her confidence did not come from her reputation, but from the military power in her hands.

Emperor Shengwen allowed her to marry freely, and unless she was willing, Madam Ling's nephew was obviously a daydream.

However, it is not a bad thing to let Mrs. Ling jump out and continue to humiliate Yue Ran.

She can make Yue Ran sink deeper and deeper into the vortex, leaving her speechless.

Her husband, who was a member of the Privy Council, was a very rigid and pedantic person. He had long been dissatisfied with the fact that Yue Ran was given the title of General of the Cavalry despite being a woman. Now that Yue Ran was notorious, it gave Lord Cheng ample room to maneuver.

If he could use this incident to remove Yue Ran from his military position, then his suffering would not have been in vain.

Next, he just needs to watch the show quietly.

"Mother, Madam Ling can do whatever she wants. Please don't interfere. Don't forget that it is your father you should pay attention to..."

Yue Zihuan lowered his voice and looked at his mother with a sinister look in his eyes.

Song raised her eyes, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, then she pursed her lips and nodded.

In the court, Cheng Wei from the Privy Council had a red face and was pointing outside the hall while making an impassioned speech:

"Now the whole capital has spread the news that Yue Ran is living and eating with an orc in the northern border. It is totally disgraceful and indecent!"

"How can such an unfaithful woman have the nerve to be a cavalry general?"

"I beg Your Majesty to dismiss Yue Ran from his post. Please don't let me and other civil officials feel disappointed, Your Majesty!"

After Cheng Wei finished speaking, his chest was still heaving violently.

He was angry without any selfish motive. He just knew that there would be no good things happening if a woman hung around in the military camp all day.

A military officer nearby stood up and glared at him:

"Bah! You are a pedantic old man, just like a gossipy old woman. We fought together with General Yue. That orc lived alone in a tent. General Yue never lived with him. I don't know who spread the rumors. What's even more ridiculous is that the Grand Secretary of the Privy Council brought the rumors to the Golden Palace to gossip. Lord Cheng's actions have chilled our hearts!"

Cheng Wei glanced over, raised his lips and smiled contemptuously, without any fear on his face.

"So it's General Xuanwu Zhou. I know that he also served in the Dingbei Army. You two are from the same family. Who knows if you are protecting Yue Ran? You can't trust what you say!"

"You!" General Xuanwu was so angry that his square face turned red, and he wished he could smash the pedantic scholar's face with one punch.

Cheng Wei bowed to Emperor Shengwen again with a serious look:

"I heard that Yue Ran's orcs personally admitted that Yue Ran had a close relationship with him. This is a living witness. I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!!"

Emperor Shengwen sat upright on the dragon throne, his expression difficult to discern.

Under the gaze of the ministers, he suddenly spoke:

"Lord Cheng, do you still remember what this pendant in front of me represents?"

Cheng Wei's breath was choked. For a moment he didn't know what Emperor Shengwen meant, so he could only say:

"The tassels on your majesty's crown represent that the emperor does not see wrong, does not see evil, and can clearly distinguish right from wrong."

Emperor Shengwen nodded slowly, his eyes swept across the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court:

"Do you remember who led the Dingbei Army to defend the northern border when the Northern Liang cavalry invaded the northern border of our Great Chu?"

Cheng Wei pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

General Xuanwu said loudly:

"It's General Yue Ranyue!"

No official in the court could refute this point.

Emperor Shengwen continued:

"The orcs have a low status, and their words cannot be used as evidence in court. Moreover, I heard that the orcs were disrespectful to Yue Ran and repeatedly rudely contradicted her. Yue Ran also terminated the contract after returning to Beijing, which shows that she has no special attachment to the orcs."

"Such private matters have nothing to do with the fate of our Great Chu. If you have nothing else to do, please leave!"

Cheng Weiru was hit by a club.

Yue Ran was so immoral, yet His Majesty just let him go so easily!

So what he hated the most were the vulgar military generals. Apart from fighting, everything they did in their daily lives was disrespectful to the civilized world!

However, Emperor Shengwen had already made his decision in the court, and Cheng Wei did not dare to say anything more.

During the entire verbal sparring, Crown Prince Chu Hantian stood calmly at the bottom of the stairs, showing no intention of taking sides.

No one knows the father better than his son. As soon as Emperor Shengwen opened his mouth, Chu Hantian already understood the implication of his father's words.

Yue Ran has made great military achievements, and my father does not want to punish her for the so-called woman's reputation, otherwise the generals in the court will definitely have objections.

Yue Ran managed to avoid this incident.

But Chu Hantian did not feel frustrated.

The plan against Yue Ran was originally just a gamble in the court. If it failed, it would be fine. However, as Yue Ran was a woman, her reputation in the capital was ruined.

It's also good if she can't be stripped of her official position and can't hold her head up in front of people.

Yue Ran, who was at the center of the rumors, was in a good mood at the moment. She sat in an elegant seat in the teahouse, sipping hot tea and exquisite cakes, and listening to various rumors about herself.

Diaolan and Yuqi stood behind Yue Ran, their faces almost pale with anger.

Diaolan endured it again and again, and finally spoke through gritted teeth:

"My Lady, the rumors in the capital are getting more and more outrageous. We should have beaten that Hall to death!"

She had never seen such a shameless person. He first tried to plot against her princess's status and wealth, and then he tried to slander her reputation.

All the care and concern that the princess has shown to Hall over the past five years might as well have been fed to a dog!

Suddenly, there were some heads moving on the street not far away, and people were gathering around someone and walking towards this direction.

Yue Ran held the teacup and squinted at the crowd.

The werewolf boy in a plain white robe walked palely among the crowd, followed by a carriage. The people around him were all filled with righteous indignation, and some even raised their arms and shouted:

"What kind of female general is this? She abandoned her lifesaver without hesitation. I have never seen such an ungrateful person in my life. We must seek justice for Hall!"

Many people joined in the commotion, but more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and for a moment they didn't understand what was happening.

Finally, Hall walked to the entrance of the teahouse and stopped. He looked up at the second floor and his eyes met Yue Ran.

The noble and beautiful lady looked down at the werewolf boy and even smiled slightly.

Hall's eyes were dazed for a moment.

Yue Ran changed back into women's clothes and she was so beautiful.

A soft cough was heard from the carriage behind him.

Hall suddenly came to his senses, with a look of grief and anger on his face. He looked at Yue Ran and said loudly:

"Yue Ran, I know you hate me for being so ruthless to you, but we could have parted ways amicably. Why did you insist on forcibly breaking the contract and ruining my cultivation?"

"Because I don't love you?"

"You forgot that you and I were honest with each other in the military tent!"
