"The prince has arrived!" Suddenly a voice came from the door.

Hearing this, everyone in the Xiao family looked happy.

The old lady and Mrs. Lan looked at each other. The prince is the crown prince of a country and is the most honest and upright person. He will definitely not let Chu Feiyan, a bitch, do anything wrong. Mei Niang's child is saved!

Chu Feiyan raised her eyes and saw a handsome man in an apricot-yellow four-clawed dragon robe striding into the hall.

This person is none other than the current crown prince, Long Shirui, who is 23 years old this year and is the eldest son of the emperor. Following behind him is Xiao Changchuan's half-brother, Xiao Changlin.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Everyone knelt down to greet him!

Chu Feiyan's mind moved slightly, and she didn't understand why the prince suddenly came to Xinwu Hou's Mansion.

The emperor had a weak constitution since childhood. He ascended the throne at the age of 37. Now, he has been on the throne for only five years. Because of his heavy workload and excessive worries, his health has become worse and worse! Most of the state affairs are handled by this prince. Is he a busy man now?

Because the emperor was often ill, all the princes were ready to make moves, including the local princes, who were secretly trying to win over court officials and form their own factions. Naturally, the prince's position was also threatened.

But Xinwuhou Mansion is just an empty shell. It has no real power and no financial resources in the court. Why would the prince come here in his busy schedule?

"My cousin, you are here!" She also bowed to the prince.

"No gift!"

Long Shirui glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally looked at Chu Feiyan with an unhappy look on his face, "Feiyan, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything! I just divorced my husband!" she said in a cold voice.

Although her uncle the emperor treated her well, she did not have a good relationship with these adult princes and princesses. One reason was to avoid suspicion; the other was that she really could not get along with these princes.

Especially the prince, he always looks unhappy when he sees her.

"Divorce your husband?" Long Shirui looked at her suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

This woman likes Xiao Changchuan so much that she has been waiting alone in an empty house for two years. Now that he has finally come back, why is she asking for a divorce?

"Your Highness, you are here at the right time. You need to make the decision for our Xiao family!" The old lady knelt down and cried:

"I know that the princess is of noble status and holds the power of life and death, but Mei is pregnant with the flesh and blood of my Xiao family. Please, Your Highness, save the child's life!"

"Child? Chu Feiyan, what's going on? As a princess, how can you take human life so lightly?" Long Shirui frowned at her.

"Xiao Changchuan took a concubine on the battlefield, and got her pregnant in front of me, his legal wife. He trampled on the face of Princess Min'an and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. Do you think I have the right to deal with this child? If I report this matter to His Majesty, what crime will Xiao Changchuan be charged with?" Chu Feiyan asked back in a cold voice.

Long Shirui was stunned. When did Chu Feiyan change so much?

As far as he knew, she did not have an easy life in the Xiao family. Anyone in the Xiao family could bully her, and she would remain silent even when they pointed at her and scolded her. Even the servants did not take her seriously, which really brought shame to the royal family.

Today she was making a fuss about getting a divorce and even falling out with the Xiao family. Was it because she was jealous that her concubine got pregnant before her?

"Alright! Father has been in poor health recently and hasn't attended court for several days. I will take care of Xiao Changchuan's concubine before the battle. Please don't bother Father with other trivial matters in the harem!"

"Cousin Prince, divorce is not a trivial matter. It concerns my lifelong happiness. I still say the same thing. As long as Xiao Changchuan signs this divorce agreement, I will never interfere in the affairs of the Xiao family again." Chu Feiyan said.

"What nonsense! Your marriage with Xiao Changchuan was granted by the Emperor. Not to mention that you are not qualified to write a divorce letter, even the Emperor cannot let you divorce at will."

Long Shirui glanced at Xiao Changchuan and Mei Niang. He also couldn't stand a man who favored his concubine over his wife. "She's just a lowly concubine. You can just send her away if you want. Why make a fuss about it and make it known to everyone? It would bring shame to the royal family!"

Xiao Changchuan panicked when he heard this and knelt down to plead, "Your Highness, I have made a mistake, but the child is innocent. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and let Mei Niang give birth to the child."

The child that Mei Niang is carrying is the future prime minister and the future glory of their Xiao family. He cannot just disappear like this.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he decided to keep the child.

As for Chu Feiyan, since she insisted on getting a divorce, let's do as she wished! I wanted her to stay in the Marquis' Mansion to ensure her a safe and worry-free life, and not let her experience the tragedy of the extermination of the whole family two years later and lose her life.

But now it seems that he still can't stop what happened in the previous life. He has already seen her tragic ending, but he can't change it. Maybe this is her fate!

"I am willing to divorce Princess Min'an."

Upon hearing this, the old lady and the Lan mother and daughter all changed their expressions!

They had used so many of Chu Feiyan's things, and once they divorced, those things would have to be taken back.

Xiao Changchuan stood up and walked to the table. He picked up a pen and signed his name on the divorce papers. He cut his finger and pressed a blood mark on his name.

"Give it to me!" Long Shirui took the divorce letter and read it carefully. "Since you are heartless and I am not interested, then the marriage is over! Even though you have signed the divorce letter, you still need the consent of the emperor and the emperor's decree to allow the divorce. Only then can you be officially divorced."

"Uncle will agree to our divorce." Chu Feiyan said firmly.

She glanced at all the people in the Xiao family and said, "There is one thing I need to tell you. This princess and Xiao Changchuan have divorced. From now on, I will have no relationship with the Xinwu Marquis Mansion, and the title of Xinwu Marquis will also be taken back."

"what?"

The faces of the Xiao family members changed drastically, and Xiao Zhengde also looked incredulous.

"Princess, your words are not a joke! The title can be inherited for five generations because of the decree of the late emperor. The decree is still enshrined in the ancestral temple. How can you just take it away?"

The old lady, Lan family, and Lan Yurong all hated Chu Feiyan so much and secretly cursed her as a little bitch.

They thought that the title was given to them by the late emperor and had nothing to do with Chu Feiyan? Even if it was related to her, the emperor's words were golden, so how could he take back the things he had bestowed?

But because the prince was here, they dared not speak out.

"Princess, I know you hate me in your heart, but what you did is too heartless, isn't it?" Xiao Changchuan never thought that Chu Feiyan would ask this question.

If the title is taken back, this mansion will also be taken back by the court. Then where will such a large family of theirs move to live?

By the time of my great-grandfather, the mansion had already begun to decline. My grandfather had died early and my grandmother did not know how to run a business. Due to poor management, the shop could only barely break even and the farm had no income. In order to maintain the daily expenses of the mansion, a lot of land and shops had been sold. Now the mansion was just an empty shell and there was no money to buy such a big mansion to live in.

"Don't forget! The title of Marquis Xinwu was hereditary for five generations. It was the dowry given to this princess by the new emperor's grandfather. Now that my fate with Xiao Changchuan has ended, I naturally have to take back the dowry that belongs to me." Chu Feiyan said.
