After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

Shen Nanxing endured the severe pain in his feet and walked steadily to the court step by step.

There were spots of blood on her snow-white embroidered shoes, dotted on the surface like bright red flowers, but she walked steadily and there was no abnormal expression on her face.

But the path he passed was dotted with bloodstains.

Upon seeing this, the ministers began to discuss the matter in low voices with their colleagues.

A man in black stood at the head of the ministers. He did not look back like the others, but he squeezed the tablet in his hand tighter and tighter, quietly revealing some of his thoughts.

Xie Tingyu stared anxiously at the slender but determined figure, his hand hidden under his sleeve quietly waving at her. However, no matter how anxious he was, she didn't even glance at him, let alone notice the gesture he made.

Shen Nanxing walked straight to his grandfather, knelt down, and bent over to perform a standard salute.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant, long live Your Majesty!"

The emperor frowned and said, "Nanxing, since you have married Prince Jing, you and Prince Jing will both call me father."

"I summoned you to the palace because Lord Shen reported Prince Jing to me, saying that you and Prince Jing were married yesterday, but Prince Jing left you alone in your empty room and stayed elsewhere. Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, it is true!" Shen Nanxing kowtowed and answered very quickly.

Xie Tingyu sank to his knees with a thud, and said, "Father, I was making arrangements for the flood in Liang Province last night. I had no intention of neglecting the princess. Please understand!"

"This matter is one of your son's inner household affairs. I have not properly handled my household affairs and have disturbed the court. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

After he finished speaking, he slightly turned his head and whispered to Shen Nanxing who was kneeling beside him: "We'll talk about it when we get back home. Don't make a fuss anymore!"

But Shen Nanxing remained unmoved. Although she was kneeling, she held her back straight and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I witnessed Prince Jing sleeping with another woman on his wedding night. I dare not lie to Your Majesty!"

"Shen Nanxing!"

Xie Tingyu's face turned extremely dark. He could no longer bear it and growled.

It would be fine if she just made a fuss about it in the mansion, but how could she bring it up in the court? She didn't even care about her reputation as a woman.

Sure enough, all the ministers started discussing it.

"Tsk tsk, the daughter of the Shen family has been showing off in public for many years. She is really no match for the daughters of aristocratic families. She actually brought such a scandal to the court. She is really shameless."

"Yes, such foul language makes my face burn. How can a young lady from an aristocratic family say such words? Shen Nanxing is really outrageous!"

"This daughter of the Shen family is truly fierce. She actually witnessed such a thing with her own eyes and even brought it up before His Majesty... This, this is truly a misfortune for the Nanyang Marquisate!"

"I'm wondering why the new princess's foot got injured! I'm afraid she went to catch an adulterer so early in the morning without even wearing shoes!"

"Now, the old marquis will probably regret going to court to seek justice for this granddaughter! How shameful! If I had such a shameless granddaughter, I would beat her to death..."

The court officials looked at the three people kneeling in the hall as if they were watching a show.

However, Lord Shen did not scold his granddaughter at all. Instead, he stood straight and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, this old minister's granddaughter has suffered such a great humiliation. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"

Xie Tingyu wanted to argue: "Father, this is simply..."

"Shut up!" The emperor's face was gloomy and he shouted harshly.

Then he looked at Lord Shen, his eyes dark and unclear: "Marquis Nanyang, how do you want to deal with this?"

Old Lord Shen trembled.

Your Majesty calling him by his title means that Your Majesty is angry, but this matter is about his granddaughter being wronged, which is truly intolerable. If Your Majesty wants to be angry, then so be it...

Lord Shen exhaled, his eyes firmly fixed on the seat above him, and he said solemnly, "This old minister humbly requests Your Majesty to grant your granddaughter the right to divorce Prince Jing."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Lord Shen finished speaking, the emperor slammed the armrest of the dragon throne, clearly furious: "Since the founding of the Northern Yue Kingdom, there has only been divorce, never divorce by amicable consent."

"Besides, since ancient times, which princes and nobles didn't have three wives and four concubines? If you want to divorce your husband just because he has a concubine, then my country of Beiyue will be in chaos!"

After a few scoldings, the emperor's tone softened again: "Shen Nanxing, it was wrong for Prince Jing to abandon you on his wedding night. I will fine him a year's salary. How about that?"

Shen Nanxing laughed angrily. He wanted to get rid of her by just deducting one year's salary?

How could Xie Tingyu, a prince, be so concerned about such a small salary? Any painting in Xinlan Garden is worth more than this little money.

Only she was so foolish in her previous life that she actually thought he would be short of money...

At this time, Xie Tingyu whispered in her ear again: "Nanxing, the emperor has punished you, so let's end this matter here!"

Shen Nanxing ignored him and looked at the emperor with a resolute expression, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty, if there is no precedent for peaceful divorce in Beiyue, and this makes it impossible for me and Prince Jing to divorce, then I request a letter of divorce."

"Please grant me your permission, Your Majesty!"

Shen Nanxing leaned over and kowtowed deeply to show his sincerity.

"No nonsense!"

Old Marquis Shen glared at her and whispered a rebuke, then quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter is young and was just talking nonsense. Please don't pay attention to her!"

Young? Isn't this old Lord Shen a joke?

His granddaughter got married at the age of 18. She is already an old maid, okay?

For a moment, the court officials burst into laughter and the court was in chaos.

After watching for a while, the emperor finally understood. To put it bluntly, Shen Nanxing was jealous and was holding a grudge. He was just sulking now!

He pondered for a moment, then said, "We were married yesterday, and you're divorcing me today. Isn't that ridiculous? If you really can't swallow this, I'll order that woman to be executed. Is this satisfactory to you?"

Before Shen Nanxing could speak, Xie Tingyu was the first to get angry: "Father, no!"

"Father, what happened last night was my fault alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please don't implicate others. If you want to punish someone, punish only me!"

But the emperor remained silent for a long time, only looking at the grandfather and grandson kneeling in the hall.

"Xing'er..." Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Xie Tingyu looked at Shen Nanxing pleadingly: "This matter is all my fault. I can do anything you want me to do, but please don't let my father kill her..."

Shen Nanxing glanced at him and saw tears in his eyes.

She suddenly felt her breath hitch.

How ridiculous! In her previous life, she was hung on the city wall for five days, brutally tortured by the people of Donglai until she bled to death, and he didn't shed a single tear for her...

Oh, it’s flowing.

That was when Fu Jiuli forced him to kneel in front of her grave, and he burst into tears.

But those tears were never shed for her, but for himself, because of fear...

This is probably the difference between love and not love!

Shen Nanxing blinked and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although that woman had an affair with Prince Jing without a matchmaker, her crime is not punishable by death. Please be lenient with her!"

Xie Tingyu was overjoyed. He thanked her repeatedly: "Nanxing, thank you. I knew you had me in your heart. I will definitely treat you well in the future..."

But Shen Nanxing continued, "But Nanxing is jealous, and has committed the seven grounds for divorce for a woman. I am requesting a letter of divorce, and I beg Your Majesty to grant my approval!"
