Hua Ling looked at the appearance of those men in black and looked at Li Rongyuan with disdain.

Li Rongyuan said, "I didn't want to come out, but I didn't expect that you would hurt my son for a broken cat. Do you think I will let you walk out of here alive?"

"Oh," Hua Ling shrugged, "He's just a stupid son, so I'll beat him. He hurt my cat, so I didn't kill him. He's lucky." He gently parted the cat's fur, revealing red marks all over it. Hua Ling's eyes were full of hostility, and the kick just now was too light.

What Li Rongyuan hated most was that people said his son was a fool, so he always let him stay at home. He didn't expect that he would be discovered by the woman in front of him.

He stared at Hua Ling with sinister eyes, "Kill her for me."

At this time, several of Hua Ling's men had already gone to resist the men in black. Now Hua Ling was the only one left there. Several men in black appeared out of nowhere and attacked Hua Ling with fierce sword moves.

Hua Ling stood there without dodging or avoiding, "Mr. Prime Minister, do you think you can bear the consequences if I die here today?"

"I'm just a pariah. I really can't imagine what the consequences will be," Li Rongyuan didn't take her words to heart at all.

"Really? I hope the Prime Minister will still speak so firmly later," Hua Ling said with a smile.

I only heard a few "swoosh" sounds, and several arrows rushed towards me like lightning! The arrows flashed with cold light, and with fierce momentum, they shot straight towards me!

In an instant, the men in black were hit by the arrows before they could even react. They screamed and fell to the ground. After their bodies twitched a few times, they were no longer able to breathe.

"Catch them," a large number of imperial guards arrived. There was no shortage of experts among the imperial guards, and the men in black were quickly subdued. The commander of the imperial guards finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hua Ling was safe and sound.

"Princess, are you okay?" said Li Sheng, the commander of the imperial guards.

"It's okay. I'm fine now. It's just that your country's prime minister is so ridiculous. His son stole my cat. I came to ask for the cat, but he actually wanted to kill me," Hua Ling said innocently.

"You... stop talking nonsense," Li Rongyuan finally remembered that he had seen the woman in front of him before, Hua Ling, the princess of Hua Dynasty. He was afraid that what happened today would not end well.

"The Prime Minister really wanted to kill me just now. So many people saw it. If you don't believe me, go ask those people," Hua Ling said casually, pointing at the frightened people.

Li Rongyuan's face turned pale and he looked at Su Wanrou with resentment. It was all because of her that she insisted on coming here today. If he hadn't come today, perhaps these things would have nothing to do with him.

Su Wanrou was even more frightened at this moment. She had originally asked Li Rongyuan to come here just to show his love for her, but who would have thought that he would cause such a disaster? She didn't know if anyone had heard what the old lady had said just now. What would happen to her? When she thought of this, she felt very anxious.

The current Prime Minister Li Rongyuan has a mistress outside, and even the son of the mistress is older than the children of his wife. This news quickly spread among the onlookers.

When the prime minister found out that the matter had been discovered, he even wanted to silence the people and even kill the little princess of Hua Dynasty.

Yun Ting was furious when he found out about this. He immediately suspended Li Rongyuan from his post and asked him to deal with the woman outside on his own.

Things here were not over yet. General Shen Beichen wrote a letter directly to the emperor, requesting him to issue an edict to allow his sister and Li Rongyuan to divorce. Li Rongyuan naturally refused, and Shen Beichen again petitioned based on his military achievements. Finally, the emperor agreed to allow the prime minister and Shen Ruolan to divorce.

On the day of the divorce, the Shen family sent more than a hundred servants to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take away Shen Ruolan's dowry and all the tables and chairs that had been purchased in the mansion over the years.

"Dad, I want to go with mother," Li Xueyan stared resentfully at Li Rongyuan who was standing in front of her.

Li Rongyuan looked depressed at this time because of the divorce, "You can't go with her!" He couldn't let his daughter leave, this was his last dignity.

Shen Ruolan looked at him coldly, "Li Rongyuan, our fate has ended. From now on, Xueyan and I have nothing to do with you."

"Ruolan, we are husband and wife after all, do you really want to be so ruthless?" Li Rong had never expected Shen Ruolan to be so efficient and swift. After being married for many years, it was as if he had just met her.

"The child you have outside is even older than Ying'er. Come to think of it, how can what I have done compare to what you have done? And it was clearly you who did something wrong, but you say this as if I am sorry," Shen Ruolan looked at Li Rongyuan, the man she once loved deeply, but now without the halo of her love, he was so unbearable.

"As long as you don't leave, I will listen to you in everything from now on," Li Rongyuan said anxiously.

Shen Ruolan said with contempt, "What? You still want me to stay and take care of other people's children for you?" Do you really think I'm a fool? The Li family's assets for so many years have been invested in the bottomless pit of supporting the prince. Now that he has been suspended from work and has no money, he starts to pretend to be affectionate with me?

Li Xueyan was sent away by her mother to check if anything was missing.

"My sons have grown up. Now they have their own choices. I won't force them. I will take those who want to leave with me away, and I won't force those who don't want to leave. Also, don't act like a fool in front of me. I raised Xueyan by myself. Even if she is not my biological daughter, I will still treat her as my own. I hope you can keep her life story a secret from her. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what my brother will do to the crown prince."

Shen Ruolan said coldly that when she overheard her mother-in-law say that Li Rongyuan drowned his own daughter with his own hands, she didn't know how desperate she must have felt in her heart. What kind of person would strangle his own daughter with his own hands?

I have raised Li Xueyan for so many years, and she is my daughter that I can't bear to part with, so naturally I have to take her away.

Li Rongyuan said, "You...you know everything?"

"Not only do I know, I also know that Xueyan's twin brother is the one from the East Palace. Li Rongyuan, if you still have a conscience, you should find a way to cancel their engagement. Now that we've divorced, if you want a woman from outside to take my place, you can do as you please," Shen Ruolan continued to direct the servants. "I bought that tree, too. Dig up those flowers, drain the water from the pond, dig up the lotus roots, demolish this house, and take the soil away..."

When the old lady came to the mansion from the villa, the Prime Minister's Mansion had become a complete empty shell, and she was furious.

"What's going on? Has the house been robbed?" The old lady smashed the ground with her cane so hard that the floor was gone, leaving only a patch of potholes.

"Shen took away all the things she bought, and the house was emptied out," Li Rongyuan never thought that everything in the house was actually managed by Shen Ruolan. Not a single flower, grass, tree, or bamboo was left by her.
