After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The system continued: [Cui Hao was born in a poor family. His family only had a few acres of thin land to make a living. However, he was smart and studious. He was determined to change his fate by passing the imperial examination since he was a child. His wife, Xiu'e, was a gentle and virtuous woman. She never despised Cui Hao's poverty and always supported and encouraged him silently.]

Nan Rongxi was getting a little angry as she listened: [This Cui Hao is really blind. He doesn't even cherish such a good wife! ]

Baiguan: That’s indeed not right!

When Cui Hao heard this, he felt a little guilty. He was in a difficult situation and didn't think about the past at all when he got divorced. Unfortunately, it was too late.

System: [Cui Hao studied hard day and night, and finally took the imperial examination. With his talent and hard work, he passed all the tests and finally won the first place in the imperial examination. When the news came, the whole village was in an uproar, and Cui Hao became the focus of everyone's attention. From then on, he rose rapidly, his career was prosperous, and his family's life became more and more prosperous. ]

Nan Rongxi looked at Cui Hao: [Humph! All men are pigs. So, when they get promoted and become rich, they don’t want wives anymore. This is really a common routine! ]

System: [Indeed, as his status and life improved, Cui Hao's mentality also changed subtly. He began to dislike his wife's poor background and felt that her appearance and temperament were no longer in line with his current status. What made him even more unbearable was that they had been married for many years and had no children. Cui Hao began to blame his wife, believing that it was her problem that caused him to be childless.]

Nan Rongxi felt a little sorry for Cui Hao's wife: [This bastard, Tongzi, wouldn't his wife be very sad? ]

System: [Xiu'e felt Cui Hao's change, and she felt extremely bitter. She knew she couldn't change Cui Hao's mind, so she could only endure everything silently. She tried to win back her husband's heart with gentleness and consideration, but Cui Hao became more and more distant from her.]

Emperor Rentong: Now I understand what a scumbag is!

Officials: Cui Hao really went too far by doing this.

Nan Rongxi continued to ask: [His wife is so pitiful, so did this bastard also cheat on her?]

System: [You guessed it right. This is what happened. One day, Cui Hao met a young and beautiful woman in the court. The woman came from a prominent family and was elegant and generous, which made Cui Hao's heart flutter. He began to interact with the woman frequently and gradually forgot about his wife at home.

Xiu'e was heartbroken when she learned of Cui Hao's betrayal. But she did not cry or blame Cui Hao, but endured it all silently. She knew that Cui Hao's heart was no longer with her, and she could not force him. 】

Emperor Rentong: This Cui Hao is really a piece of shit.

Baiguan: Poor wife, such a good wife!

After being told this by the system, Cui Hao began to feel a little ashamed.

The more Nan Rongxi listened, the more distressed he felt for Xiu'e: [Tongzi, in the end, did this scumbag just reveal his cards? ]

System: [Yes, one day, Cui Hao finally proposed a divorce. He said to Xiu'e coldly: "It's your fault that we don't have children. I have found a new lover who can bring me more happiness. Let's get a divorce."

Xiu'e was devastated when she heard this. She quietly packed her luggage and left the home that was once full of warmth. Cui Hao looked at his wife's departing back, and there was not a single wave of emotion in his heart.

Baiguan: How pitiful...

Nan Rongxi: [This bastard, I hope his life will be a mess in the future! ]

The system seemed to be amused when it heard this: [After the divorce, Cui Hao got married to the young and beautiful woman as he wished. However, he did not get the happiness he imagined. The new wife was spoiled and had a bad temper, which did not help Cui Hao's career. Moreover, she did not know how to run a family, and the family affairs were in chaos. Moreover, he still could not have children. ]

Nan Rongxi: [Serves him right! Serves him right! Such a scumbag should not have a good ending! What happened next? ]

System: [Later, Cui Hao began to miss the days with Xiu'e. Although Xiu'e was born in poverty, she was hardworking, kind, and considerate to Cui Hao. She was able to manage the family in an orderly manner, allowing Cui Hao to focus on his career without any worries. Now, Cui Hao has to worry about trivial matters at home.

What made Cui Hao even more distressed was that he found out how cruel and ruthless he was in betraying and hurting Xiu'e. He thought of how Xiu'e silently endured the pain, and his heart was filled with guilt and regret.

Emperor Rentong: That’s all fine…

Officials: What’s the use of regretting!

Nan Rongxi continued to ask: [Tongzi, what happened next? ]

System: [He recalled every moment he had spent with Xiu'e, and a strong feeling of missing her surged in his heart. He decided to find Xiu'e, apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness.

After some twists and turns, Cui Hao finally found Xiu'e. He saw that Xiu'e was still beautiful. Cui Hao knelt in front of Xiu'e and cried, "Xiu'e, I was wrong. I am sorry for you. I ask for your forgiveness."

Xiu'e looked at Cui Hao, and her heart was calm. She knew Cui Hao had regretted it, but she also understood that she had entered a new life. She was silent for a while, and then said to Cui Hao: "Cui Hao, we can't go back. I have a new life, and you should also have your own future. Let's be well."

Cui Hao felt heartbroken when he heard this. He knew that he had lost Xiu'e and the happiness he once had. He regretted it deeply, but it was too late to make up for it.

It's too late now. Xiu'e has already found the man who treats her well and gave birth to a big fat boy. 】

Nan Rongxi almost laughed out loud: [Hahaha, what a happy life! No wonder he took Chinese medicine. It turns out he knew he was dying, right?]

System: [You guessed it right, so Cui Hao immediately went to find a Chinese doctor to see if he could save the child. After all, he also wanted to have a child!]

Nan Rongxi: [Yeah, well, then he deserved to meet a Chinese medicine doctor who cheated him out of his money, and he deserved to have no descendants! ]

Emperor Rentong: This ending is pleasing to the people. Cui Hao should reflect on himself.

Baiguan: I heard another big piece of news today, not bad!

Cui Hao felt helpless after hearing this. Indeed, his life was originally very happy. All these consequences were caused by him alone. He fell into deep thought...

Emperor Rentong looked at the sunlight outside the palace and said, "My dear ministers, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll leave the court!"

Nan Rongxi: [Why do I feel like today's court session was a fake one, as if nothing was discussed! ]

Emperor Rentong: ...

Officials: ...

Suddenly, Emperor Rentong thought of Feng Yi, the No. 1 Scholar in the previous session, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. “Oh, Zhang Hong, why haven’t I seen the Deputy Minister of Works for a long time? How come this young man has been recuperating all the time and hasn’t attended court?”

Zhang Hong was also confused. Feng Yi's repeated illnesses were really hard to understand. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Yi said one moment he had food poisoning, another moment he broke his leg, and then another moment he said he was scalded!"

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, is Feng Yi just making up an excuse because he doesn't want to go to work?]
