After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

"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!"

"No wonder the new princess hurt her foot! She probably went to catch her husband cheating first thing this morning without even putting on her shoes..."

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.

His Majesty's use of his title indicates His Majesty's anger, but this matter involves his granddaughter being wronged, which is truly intolerable!

Let Your Majesty be angry if you want...

With a firm gaze, Lord Shen solemnly said, "Your Majesty, I humbly request that you grant my granddaughter permission 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 moment, Xie Tingyu whispered in her ear, "Nanxing, Father has already punished her; let's leave it at that!"

Shen Nanxing ignored him and instead looked at the emperor with a resolute expression, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty, since there is no precedent for divorce in Northern Yue, then I only ask for 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.

Her breath hitched.

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!"
