After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

It was only at this moment that Huang, as if waking from a dream, realized with astonishment that behind all this was actually a sinister and cunning conspiracy carefully planned by Concubine Su! This woman, as cruel as a snake and scorpion, had only one thought in her mind and eyes - to pave a smooth road for her own daughter, and to achieve this, she would use any means, even the most extreme.

She had no regard for the lives of others, even abandoning other people's children with such ease. However, for Huang, the person she cherished so deeply, the only one she cared about, had left her and disappeared from this world forever.

At that moment, Huang's eyes, once dull and lifeless, like ashes, suddenly focused, as if a mysterious and powerful force suddenly ignited the long-suppressed rage deep in her heart. Then, without any warning, she raised her right hand high and, with all her might, mercilessly slapped Liu Jiaqi's hateful face. With a crisp "slap," a resounding slap landed firmly on Liu Jiaqi's cheek.

"Liu Jiaqi, you are an ungrateful, treacherous and despicable villain! Back then, I resolutely married you despite my family's opposition, and accompanied you through all the ups and downs and hardships. But now, you treat me so cruelly, you are so heartless! Today, even if I have to risk everything, I will completely sever our marital relationship!" Huang's eyes widened, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out, her face full of anger. She put her hands on her hips, her body trembling with anger, and roared at Liu Jiaqi at the top of her lungs.

Before she finished her words, Huang knelt without hesitation, her knees slamming heavily on the hard ground with a dull thud. She raised her head, tearfully gazing at the official seated in the hall, and sobbed uncontrollably, "Sir, please, I beg you to make this decision for me! Please be discerning and carefully examine the entire matter, and fairly dissolve my marriage with this heartless man! He's truly gone too far, completely disregarding our years of marriage and trampling my sincerity into nothingness!"

Tang Wenshu, standing nearby, witnessed this scene and felt a surge of compassion. She sympathized with Huang's misfortune, yet was also filled with indignation at the injustices of the world. Unable to contain her inner excitement any longer, she took a step forward and eagerly demanded, "Are you going to let that despicable Concubine Su off so easily? You know, she's the culprit behind this series of tragedies! If it weren't for her obstruction and instigation, how could you and your wife have ended up like this? In my opinion, she deserves a more severe punishment!"

However, facing Tang Wenshu's questioning, Huang just shook her head gently, with a sad smile on her face, and said slowly: "After all, the ones who are really wrong are those unfaithful and unrighteous men. Even if there is no concubine Su, there will be other women with bad intentions and ulterior motives in the future. Men in this world can often make mistakes as they please, and society is always particularly tolerant of them; but once we women are not careful, we will be blamed and despised by everyone and suffer endless suffering. This world is too cruel and ruthless for us women..." After that, Huang covered her face and cried again, and the cry was as shrill as the cuckoo crying blood, which was very moving.

Just as everyone fell silent, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps approached from afar. In a blink of an eye, a group of people dressed in splendid clothes appeared in the courtroom. Leading the group was a haggard, stumbling old lady, her face covered in tears. Her voice trembled as she called out, "Nan'er, my poor child, please come home! The door of our Huang family is always open to you!" A middle-aged man following closely behind her quickly echoed, "Yes, sister, everyone in the family is looking forward to your return soon!"

"Okay, okay, you treat me this way? Don't blame me for being heartless! I'm going to divorce you right now!" Liu Jiaqi roared in rage, his eyes filled with anger and determination sweeping across the crowd. Meanwhile, Concubine Su was being held captive by two ferocious yamen runners, unable to move an inch.

She first glanced up at Master Liu, seated in his high position, a flicker of resentment and resignation in her eyes. Then, quickly turning her gaze to Madam Huang, standing beside her, a look of despair and helplessness on her face. In that moment, she suddenly realized how feeble and meaningless her so-called victory was. This heartless and disloyal man before her was not worth her all, even her own life.

"Sister, I will always support you!" At this moment, Aunt Su shouted with all her might. However, as soon as she said this, she seemed to remember something important and hesitated: "Actually...actually, it's all the old lady's fault..." Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Liu Jiaqi suddenly flew into a rage and rushed forward like an out-of-control beast.

At this critical moment, Liu Jiaqi, like a ferocious beast, suddenly reached out with lightning speed and firmly grasped the heavy iron chain that bound Aunt Su's hands. Then, he burst out with all his strength, as if he was fighting a mortal enemy, and pulled back with all his might!

In an instant, the originally cold and incomparably hard iron chain, like a vicious python, instantly wrapped tightly around Aunt Su's slender and fragile neck, which seemed to be vulnerable to any blow. Poor Aunt Su didn't even have time to struggle or cry for help before Liu Jiaqi had already cruelly and ruthlessly strangled her neck.

The entire process happened so quickly and suddenly that it was almost too sudden and overwhelming to follow. As a result, no one present could react to what was happening and could only watch helplessly as this horrific and bloody scene unfolded before their eyes.

When the yamen runners finally regained consciousness, realizing the situation was dire, they rushed forward in a panic, trying to pull the frantic Liu Jiaqi away. However, it was too late… When they finally got close, they discovered to their horror that Aunt Su's once fair, slender neck had been severed by the iron chain! Scarlet, scalding blood gushed out of the wound like a flood, splattering everywhere, leaving the scene in a horrific mess.

Even if a highly skilled doctor like Hua Tuo or Bian Que were present at this moment, facing such a serious and fatal injury, they would probably be powerless and helpless, right? In the end, the yamen runners had no choice but to quickly re-chain Liu Jiaqi and keep him under close guard to prevent him from doing anything crazy and terrifying again.

Although Concubine Su ultimately failed to finish her words, Huang and the others seated in the hall, Tang Wenshu, had already grasped the general truth from the fragments she had revealed. They assumed that the high-ranking old lady had made some enticing promise or offered her enormous benefits, emboldening her to commit such heinous acts. After all, how could Concubine Su, a mere concubine of low status, dare to act so recklessly without the backing and guidance of someone behind the scenes?

"Sir, I want to divorce you!" Huang held her head high, her gaze firm, as if she had finally released all the pent-up emotions she had been holding. Her voice was clear and resonant, echoing throughout the hall and drawing the attention of everyone present.

Huang's audacity to speak so confidently wasn't just due to the support of her family, but more importantly, she had endured years of injustice and humiliation. Since marrying into the Liu family, she had diligently managed the household, but the family's poor management led to repeated deficits. In desperation, Huang had to offer her generous dowry to fill the gaping hole. However, even with this, the Liu family showed no sign of gratitude. Instead, Old Madam Liu subjected her to constant torment. Had Master Liu not arranged a good marriage for her daughter, she would have been treated inhumanely.

Now, Huang had finally decided to endure this. She wanted not only to divorce her husband, but also to divorce him! According to Zhao law, if a husband was imprisoned for a crime, his wife had the right to request a divorce. But Huang didn't want to simply divorce. This decisive act made her position known to the world: she would no longer endure the pain and suffering brought on by this marriage.

Tang Wenshu, sitting in the hall, was slightly taken aback after hearing Huang's words. He had initially assumed Huang would at most propose a divorce, but he hadn't expected her to be so resolute. However, after a moment's reflection, Tang Wenshu nodded and said, "Approved." He actually admired Huang's courage and decisiveness.

Seeing Tang Wenshu so readily agree to her daughter's request, Mrs. Huang burst into tears of joy. She held Mrs. Huang's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Nan'er, our Huang family will always be your support. As long as you are willing to come back, there will always be a place for you here. And your brothers have been looking forward to your return!"
