Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

But Xue Feimu on the side was completely confused.

It took me a while to react and I quickly explained:

"No, no, the Prime Minister has misunderstood. I don't want a divorce. I don't want a divorce.

“I don’t want to be stamped with the official seal;

Ji Yunzhi said indifferently: "Oh, you don't want to divorce, but you signed the divorce agreement. Why is that?"

Xue Feimu hurriedly explained: "This divorce letter was not written by me. It was written by Qing... Miss Jiang who was afraid of bringing trouble to the Marquis' Mansion, so she gave it to me."

"So you were forced."

"Yes."

"Then you can just not sign it. Miss Jiang was in prison at that time. Could she still force your hand to sign it?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you may not know that Miss Jiang and I have a deep affection for each other. I did not want to sign it at first, but I did not want to disappoint her."

Ji Yunzhi had a look of sudden realization: "Oh, so you signed it because you didn't want to disappoint her, not because you knew she was in trouble and were afraid that she would bring trouble to the Xue family, so you forced her to write the divorce letter."

“No, no, absolutely not.

"I didn't force her at all. I didn't even see her."

"Miss Jiang has been in prison for so many days, and you didn't even think of going to see her, yet you said you and her were deeply in love. It sounds a bit contradictory."

Xue Feimu felt a little guilty and avoided the question:

"It's because the Dali Temple prison is so strict that I can't get in at all."

Normally, if you want to go to jail, you have to make connections. If you don't have any connections, it's not easy to see people.

Xue Feimu was extremely grateful to the Dali Temple for this corrupt rule, which gave him an excuse.

“As far as I know, if a prisoner is locked up in the Dali Temple, his relatives can still go in to see him, or even bring him some food, accompanied by the jailer, as long as he is not an unforgivable criminal. However, no one went to the Xue Mansion.

"Don't even mention that after the death penalty was decided, the family members were able to go in and take a look. Even before the charges were decided, no one from the Xue Mansion went there. Master Xue said this to me. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Ji Yunzhi raised his voice, and Xue Feimu was so scared that he fell to his knees with a plop.

"No, no, no, Prime Minister, I dare not, I dare not."

"You're not afraid, you're too brave. You keep saying you don't dare to refuse, but that's all lies. You're obviously afraid of being implicated, but you say it's Miss Jiang's idea.

"I also heard that on the day when Miss Jiang was sentenced to death, Master Xue took in a concubine. The mansion was filled with music and joy, and the servants received many rewards. It was obvious that the master was very happy. Despite this situation, you actually told me that you and Miss Jiang were deeply in love. It seems that Master Xue is a liar and lies without hesitation."

"no no……"

Xue Feimu stammered, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back. Even his forehead was oozing with sweat, and his face was pale.

The Prime Minister's words were very on point, leaving him no room for argument. He could only bite the bullet and answer:

"It was my fault for not thinking things through. I did it for the sake of my family. It has not been easy for the Marquis's family to get to where it is today. We cannot afford any mistakes, so I..."

"It's not easy for your mansion to get to where it is today, and it's not Miss Jiang's fault. Why do you want Miss Jiang to bear the consequences now, according to Master Xue's opinion?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was: murdering the Imperial Concubine is a serious crime, and the Marquis's Mansion cannot be involved."

Ji Yunzhi looked at him with disgust in his eyes, not wanting to give him any face:

“It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and it is understandable.

“But it is totally wrong for Master Xue to plot against Miss Jiang.

"Master Xue said that it was Miss Jiang who wanted a divorce. I wonder if you could take out the divorce letter and see what kind of ink and paper were used, and then you can know the truth.

"The paper in prison is different from the paper outside. If the divorce letter was really written by Miss Jiang, then it should be the rice paper used exclusively in prison."

"This...this, this..." Xue Feimu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely after hearing this.

How could he dare to take it out? As soon as he did, he would be exposed.

The divorce letter was written by him in the study of the marquis's mansion. How could his study have the paper and ink used in prison?

Moreover, there were two copies of the divorce agreement, and Jiang Qingyue had another copy, so he couldn't refute it at all.

At this time, the people watching outside looked at Xue Feimu's expression and knew everything, so they started to curse at Xue Feimu.

"They are so heartless. Not only did they not help, but they also added insult to injury."

"The Marquis' Mansion has been relying on Miss Jiang's support for the past few years, but the Marquis' Mansion has turned its back on us."

"Miss Jiang was wrongly imprisoned, but the Marquis' Mansion did not help to investigate, but instead plotted against her. Such a heartless and ungrateful family is truly despised by others."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Yunzhi snorted coldly:

"Master Xue has tacitly acknowledged that you wrote the divorce agreement, handed it to the prison, and forced Miss Jiang to sign it. This was to sever the relationship and avoid bringing trouble to the Marquisate."

Xue Feimu wanted to say no, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

Ji Yunzhi had already stripped him of all his skin, and even if he wanted to defend himself, he couldn't find any support.

Ji Yunzhi looked at Lord Wang:

"Since Master Xue wants to divorce, then today, while I am here, Lord Wang will stamp the divorce on their household register and complete it."

"Yes, yes, I will find the household registration of the Marquis' Mansion right away."

The wealthy families in the capital city all have specially managed files. If there is a marriage, the woman's name will be transferred to another family. If it is a divorce, the woman's name will be crossed out from the book and stamped with the official seal before the divorce is considered successful.

As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary under him hurriedly ordered all the servants in the government office to find the household registration book of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

Xue Feimu looked at the rapid speed and wanted to stop it immediately:

"No, no, we can't divorce."

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He mustered up the courage to say to Ji Yun:

"To be honest with you, Prime Minister, I went to see Miss Jiang today to explain this matter, take back the divorce agreement, and reconcile with her.

"I did something wrong in this matter, and I know it's wrong. I don't want to be separated from you."

As he said this, his back was already wet with sweat.

Ji Yunzhi stood up and looked at him with disdain:

"If you want to divorce, then divorce. If you don't want to divorce, then that's unreasonable. Master Xue has such a big face.

"When Miss Jiang was in trouble, Prince Xue used all means to get rid of the relationship. Now that Miss Jiang is out of danger, the emperor has specially sent people to express his condolences. I am also seeking justice for my wife's sister. Prince Xue has seen the value of Miss Jiang, so he is unwilling to divorce?

"There is no such good thing in the world. When there are benefits, you come forward with a smile on your face. When there are no benefits, you run away faster than anyone else. Not only do you run away, but you also add insult to injury. Master Xue, people should not be too shameless."

"me……"

Xue Feimu's face turned red after hearing Ji Yunzhi's words, but he couldn't refute a single word.

Ji Yunzhi didn't want to waste any more time talking to him and glanced at Lord Wang. Lord Wang reacted with a start and hurriedly urged people to hurry up.

Before anyone here left, they heard the voice of the yamen runner: "Found it, found it."

Lord Wang held the book in his hand and smiled at Ji Yunzhi:

"The Prime Minister has been found."

Ji Yunzhi didn't say anything, but glanced at the booklet. Lord Wang immediately understood and opened the booklet to stamp it.

"Do not."

Xue Feimu stepped forward to stop him, but Lord Wang didn't listen to him. He quickly turned to the back page and stamped the divorce seal on their marriage contract.

The moment Xue Feimu saw the seal, he felt his heart sink to the bottom.

A feeling of emptiness.

Jiang Qingyue's stunning face appeared in my mind, and my heart was filled with regret.

If he had known earlier, he would have waited a little longer.

If he had waited, would everything have turned out differently? However, there is no if.

Lord Wang stamped the official seal and handed the household registration book to Ji Yunzhi for review. Ji Yunzhi read it and nodded:

"Lord Wang is very efficient. Thank you for your help today."

Lord Wang smiled and replied, "No trouble, no trouble. If the Prime Minister has anything else to ask, just tell me. I will definitely do it for you."

Ji Yunzhi nodded, without even looking at Xue Feimu, and walked out of the court.

Lord Wang and his bailiffs hurried after him and accompanied him for a while.

"Take care, Prime Minister. Come and have tea when you have time."

Only after seeing Ji Yunzhi's carriage disappear into the distance did he retract his steps.

Lord Wang looked at Xue Feimu inside and cursed him harshly.

"Sir, this fellow is full of evil intentions. He even alarmed the Prime Minister to take action. He is really ignorant. He married such a good wife but doesn't know how to cherish her."

"That's right, seeing how the Prime Minister protects his wife's sister, if the Xue family's eldest son really has brains, he should be nicer to Miss Jiang."

"Bah, if you had such awareness, you would have been promoted long ago. Why are you waiting to take up the position of managing eunuchs now? Everyone in the court would laugh at you."

The yamen runners were talking to each other, all of them were unhappy with Xue Feimu.

Lord Wang curled his lips and walked into the hall, where the common people below were pointing and talking loudly.

With a bang, the gavel sounded and the audience fell silent.

"Quiet, quiet."

He looked at Xue Feimu and said, "Master Xue, please go back. You have finished your work. Why are you still standing here? Do you want me to invite you to dinner?"

From the scene just now, Lord Wang could tell that Prince Xue had offended the Prime Minister, and he certainly would not treat him well.

Xue Feimu pursed his lips, glanced at Lord Wang, and his eyes fell directly on the household registration booklet on the table.

Finally he stood up and left the Jingzhao government office.

He didn't know why. It wasn't like this when he signed the divorce papers. Why did he feel so empty now?

At this moment, he finally realized:

He seemed to have really lost Jiang Qingyue.

That person had nothing to do with him from then on.

He felt an indescribable sense of depression and loss in his heart.

In the villa, Jiang Qingyue was having lunch.

There were a table full of dishes, all of which were exquisitely cooked. Jiang Qingyue praised Zisu a lot, and Zisu's face turned red with beauty.

Lu Huan smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang Qingyue asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Huan said mysteriously, "Miss, do you know who the Prime Minister met when he left today?"

"Who did you meet?"

"I met the Xue family's heir."

"He, what is he doing here?"

"Humph, he still dares to come, how shameless."

Lu Huan disliked Xue Feimu very much and always spoke in a bad tone when talking about him.

She recounted in one breath what had happened in the Jingzhao Yin government office today.

When talking about the Jingzhao Yin pressing the official seal, his whole face was beaming with joy.

"Miss, it's all right now. Now that you have gone to the Jingzhao Yin's household registration office and obtained the official seal, you will no longer have any connection with the Marquis' Mansion.

"From now on, Miss is truly a free person, and has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue liked what she heard, Lu Huan repeatedly emphasized that "it has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."

When talking about the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Huan also sighed. Thinking that her young lady had escaped from that cage, she was sincerely happy for her young lady.

A smile appeared on Jiang Qingyue's face.

She took a sip of soup and thought about what Ji Yunzhi said today when he asked her about divorce.

He has always been like this, once he says something, he will definitely do it, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Miss, the Prime Minister is so amazing. I just asked someone to find out more about it, and also asked people who saw the scene. They described it so vividly that I wish I could see it with my own eyes.

"Miss, you don't know that in front of Lord Jingzhao Yin, Prince Xue was unwilling to sign, saying that he did not agree to the divorce and that he still had feelings for Miss. But he was turned away by the Prime Minister after a few words.

"The Prime Minister directly exposed him without giving him any face. Now people outside say that the Marquis' Mansion is good at calculating and scheming against the people in its own mansion. Whoever marries into the Marquis' Mansion will not have a good ending.

"Also, Miss Sun, do you remember that many people have gone to Madam Sun to tell her about this? Some of them realized that they were deceived because Miss Sun brought a lot of dowry when she married into the Xue family.

"Both parties had agreed on a condition before, saying that the cousin of the Sun family would be in charge of the household expenses. At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now I realize that the Marquis's Mansion is a bottomless pit. What does "being in charge of the household expenses" mean that the bride has to use her own dowry to fill the household expenses.

"When everyone thought back to what you did, Miss, it was the same, and they all felt sorry for you.

"Now that the news has spread outside, Madam Sun is not a fool. She immediately asked Miss Sun to go back and warned her not to spend too much money on the Marquis's Mansion.

"The old lady in the mansion was furious, but Madam Sun was holding back the money, so she had no other options. She could only vent her anger on the eldest lady in the mansion, and the eldest lady took someone away to vent her anger.

"Everyone in the mansion is in a panic now. The servants are afraid of being implicated, so many of them have run away..."

Jiang Qingyue listened and smiled, but did not comment.

This was exactly what the Marquis' Mansion had planned, and the Sun family might not be unaware of it. Both parties were just trying to get what they needed, but the Sun family probably didn't expect the Marquis' Mansion to be so greedy.

To Jiang Qingyue, these things in the Marquis' Mansion were just a joke.

What she cared about most was that she had finally completely severed her ties with the Marquis' Mansion.

This is the best news today.
