But he had lofty ambitions since he was young, and as proud as he was, he didn't want to be forced to do things he didn't want to do.

I don’t want people to say that I gained my wealth through women. I believe that I can bring glory to my family through my own efforts!

But he was slapped hard in the face by reality. After two years of guarding the border, he realized how difficult it is to achieve success.

During a conflict with the Northern Qi Kingdom, he was shot by an arrow due to his poor martial arts skills and nearly lost his life. Only then did he realize the huge gap between dreams and reality.

The conditions at the border were even more cruel than he had imagined. If he were reborn two years ago, he might have lived a good life with Chu Feiyan. At least it wouldn't be like this, where he had to serve in the army for two years before being promoted to the rank of sixth-rank captain.

At first, I thought that his superiors appreciated his talents, but later I found out that he got this official position because Chu Feiyan secretly helped him to smooth out the relationship.

Two years passed without any achievements and no hope of promotion, so he applied to return to Kyoto to take up a position.

In Longyuan Country, it is almost impossible for a soldier to transfer his position, but Chu Feiyan is his wife, so the higher-ups quickly approved it.

"I'm sorry!" He owed her this apology from his previous life.

"Hmph! Two men are vying for you, and the entire mansion has been turned upside down by you. Are you satisfied now?" The old lady said sarcastically.

"Madam Xiao! Believe in Marquis Wu! Xiao Changqing has just admitted that it was he who gave our princess an aphrodisiac and wanted to do something indecent to her. We at Princess Min'an's Mansion and Duke Weiguo's Mansion will not let this matter go!" Qiu Ling said.

"How dare you, a lowly servant, speak to me like that? Is this how Princess Min'an teaches her servants manners?" The old lady's face flushed red when she was questioned by a maid.

Xiao Zhengde was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Mother, what happened last night has already happened. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. Even if it is brought to His Majesty, it cannot be salvaged. It will only make the Xiao family lose face in Jinxiu City."

Chu Feiyan glanced at the old lady coldly. This old thing was unaware that she was about to die. She had to be taught a lesson.

"Come here, arrest this rapist who has evil intentions towards this princess and send him to jail!"

"Yes!" Several guards from the princess's mansion walked in from the gate and were about to capture Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Zhengde quickly knelt down in front of Chu Feiyan, "Your Highness! Please spare my son's life. He has been seriously injured. If he is locked up in prison and his wounds cannot be treated, I'm afraid he won't live for a few days!"

"Princess! We all know we are wrong! Please, let Qing'er go!" Fu also crawled over and kowtowed to her.

"Since you believe in Marquis Wu's plea, this princess will give you a favor and spare him this time." It was not that she was kind enough to spare Xiao Changqing's life, but there was still a use for this man.

She still remembered what Chuntao said, that the love Gu was obtained from the imperial teacher.

Xiao Changqing must know who the boss they are talking about is.

The person who gave them the poisonous insect might be related to the mastermind behind the annihilation of the entire Weiguo Mansion.

"Thank you princess!"

Fu quickly stood up and asked a few servants to carry Xiao Changqing away, fearing that if she stayed any longer, her son would really die.

Chu Feiyan looked at Xiao Changchuan, "Xiao Changchuan, it's time to come to an understanding of our affairs."

Xiao Zhengde thought she was bothered by the two years that Xiao Changchuan had been away, so he assured her, "Princess, please rest assured. As long as I am here, you will always be Chuan'er's legitimate wife. Even if there are many women around him, no one can surpass you."

"My Lord, you are overthinking. I am a princess of a country, and the man I want to marry should be upright and honest, not a good-for-nothing and self-righteous loser like him." She married into the Xinwu Marquis's mansion just because she liked Xiao Changchuan's face.

Now that she has been reborn, she suddenly realizes that this man is nothing special. Apart from his face, he is simply a waste. She was so blind in her previous life.

Xiao Yurong couldn't help but say, "Father, didn't you hear what my second brother just said? She's not clean anymore, why do you want to keep her here? How can my eldest brother face people after he leaves?"

"Yurong is right. She committed adultery with a man outside her family, which is one of the seven grounds for divorce. Our Xiao family can divorce her! The royal family cannot say anything bad about the Xiao family either." The old lady also said.

"Enough! Shut up! I am the one who has the final say in this family. Anyone who says another word will get out!" Xiao Zhengde was extremely angry.

Normally he wouldn't dare disobey his mother, but now it concerns the survival of the Xiao family, and he can't let them do whatever they want.

Seeing that he was really angry, the old lady shut up. Xiao Yurong shrank her neck and dared not speak again.

Chu Feiyan was too lazy to care about this family anymore and wanted to settle her marriage with Xiao Changchuan first, "Xiao Changchuan, let's get a divorce!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at her.

Doesn't this woman love Xiao Changchuan the most? How can she bear to divorce him after waiting for him to come back?

"What did you say? You want to divorce me?" Xiao Changchuan was also incredulous.

He suddenly realized that many things had deviated from the track of his previous life.

"Xiao Changchuan, it's been two years. Since you don't like me, there's no need to continue this marriage. Let's part ways and live our lives happily!" Chu Feiyan said.

"Fei Yan, your marriage with Chuan'er was granted by the late emperor. You can't just get a divorce if you want to." Xiao Zhengde advised.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will go to the palace and explain the divorce to my uncle the Emperor. Xiao Changchuan and I are destined to be together, and he will agree to our divorce." The Emperor and her mother were born of the same mother, so he was quite close to her and had asked her about the matter between her and Xiao Changchuan many times.

But in her previous life, she loved Xiao Changchuan so much that she swallowed all the grievances for such an unworthy man.

Xiao Changchuan felt very upset when he saw that she was not lying. If it was in his previous life, he would have been more than happy to divorce her.

But thinking about what happened after her death, he knew that he couldn't divorce Chu Feiyan, otherwise! His life would have to be rewritten.

"I had to marry you when you wanted to marry me. Now you want a divorce, so what do you think of me?"

"Xiao Changchuan, I admit that I liked you before, but I didn't know you already had someone you liked, and you never came to me to explain this matter. Otherwise! I would have asked the late emperor to revoke his order, and we wouldn't have come to this point."

Although Xiao Changchuan didn't like her, he had never done anything to hurt her. Besides, he was forced into this marriage, so he still hoped that they could part ways in peace.

"Since you liked me before, why don't you like me now?" Xiao Changchuan clenched his fists slightly.

He knew that Chu Feiyan still loved him, and proposing a divorce was just a trick of playing hard to get!

Chu Feiyan showed a sneer on her face, "Xiao Changchuan, how dare you ask such a question? On the day of our wedding, you left without even entering the bridal chamber, making me the biggest laughing stock in the entire capital. You only came back today, how dare you ask me why I don't like you anymore?

My love for you has been met with your indifference for two years, trampling my dignity underfoot. Xiao Changchuan, no one will stand still and wait for you. Since you have no interest in me, I will not wait for a man who does not love me. Let's part ways in peace!"

"I won't divorce you, and divorce is bad for a woman's reputation. I promise that you will always be my legal wife, and no one can surpass you." Xiao Changchuan refused to divorce.
