Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Jiang Fenghua personally stepped forward to help Yunfang up, and said softly, "Don't kneel down. When you were in the palace, we were also master and servant. You and Ji Chen are now husband and wife. It's a pity that aunt has such a beautiful face. I thought Ji Chen would treat you well, but now your hands are all frostbitten. You are wearing such thin clothes in such a cold weather. Sigh!"

Her words touched Yunfang's heart. Yunfang just felt wronged. The thought of marrying a loser like Ji Chen made Yunfang so angry that she almost died. The person she wanted to marry was His Royal Highness Prince Heng.

But now the rice is cooked, she has to compromise. Her life in the Su family is not easy. She lived a wealthy life in Prince Heng's Mansion. When she thought about the fact that she didn't even have to wash her own clothes in Prince Heng's Mansion, she now lives worse than an ordinary maid. She regretted it very much.

Ji Chen had no ability to earn money for her, but instead she gave Ji Chen a lot of money.

Yunfang showed all her dissatisfaction on her face, but she did not forget the purpose of coming today. She pulled her hand away, not wanting to be led by Jiang Fenghua. She was the best at disguising herself, and begged, "Please have mercy, Princess. I believe my husband will never assassinate you. Please let him go!"

Jiang Fenghua knew the resentment in her eyes, and he looked very embarrassed and concerned about Yunfang. "After we investigate, if it really has nothing to do with him, the government will definitely not wrongly accuse him. Don't worry! How about we go into the government office and talk slowly?"

Yunfang was unwilling to go and wanted to talk here.

At this time, more and more people gathered around, and several familiar faces came forward and grabbed Yunfang's hand, "Aunt Yunfang, is it really you?"

Yunfang looked at the other party with a frown on her face and just wanted to ask who are you.

A group of women came, talking at once, "We know that it was Master Ji who drugged and raped you, so you were forced to marry him. Alas, ever since you left the palace, we all felt guilty for not speaking up for you. Later, we wanted to explain this matter to the prince, but we were afraid. We should muster up the courage to expose Master Ji. It was his lustful audacity to rape you. It was not your fault at all. He dared to use the Hehuan Powder on you. He is really not a human being..."

The old matter was brought up again, and Yun Fang was pointed at by the people again. These people were attracted by her beating the drum to appeal for justice for Ji Chen. What is the situation now?

Now the real reason why she married Ji Chen was revealed. Before she could react, someone said, "No wonder Princess Heng just said that the world is unpredictable and it was a pity to marry Ji Chen. It turns out that she was drugged and raped by her husband before she married him."

"Now she's here to speak up for that man. Look at how poorly she's dressed. It's so cold, and she doesn't even have a decent cotton coat. Her hands are covered in frostbite. She must be having a hard life. How pitiful!"

In fact, Yunfang wanted to play the victim and arouse people's sympathy, so she deliberately wore torn and thin clothes, but now she has backfired.

The people were talking about it, and someone who knew the situation broke the news, "You may not know this yet, but when the Zhang family held a wedding banquet, a man named Ji Chen sneaked into the backyard of the Zhang family and was caught having an affair with Madam Zhang. Many people saw it, and the scene was unbearable to watch."

"Yes, I saw it too. She took off all her clothes, with her buttocks exposed. She was having a lot of fun, and she even said she was a scholar. She called him Ji Chen, and Master Zhang was so angry that he divorced Madam Zhang on the spot..."

"I also know about this matter. It has caused a lot of uproar. I didn't expect that this is Ji Chen's wife. It's really unlucky to marry such a man."

Someone else continued, "Actually, Yunfang didn't want to marry him. It was Ji Chen who drugged Yunfang and defiled her body. Yunfang had no choice but to marry him because her innocence was gone."

"Yunfang was a high-class maid in the palace, with luxurious clothes and delicious food. Her life was so good that she looked even more elegant than a rich lady. When she was in Prince Heng's mansion, the princess never treated her harshly. Now that she is married to Ji Chen, she has become like this. Alas! Ji Chen is such a bad person. He has harmed Yunfang!"

"Yunfang is so pitiful!"

"She is still trying to speak up for him. People like him should be handed over to the government and cut into pieces."

"Yes, we must not let him go. Such a beautiful girl was ruined by him. She had no choice but to marry him, and she didn't know how to cherish her after marrying him. She wears such shabby clothes. She must have suffered a lot with him!"

Everyone started to blame Ji Chen.

Yunfang suddenly became the victim and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Fenghua's eyes were full of heartache. "Yunfang, if you are willing to return to the palace, I am willing to ask the government to sentence you and Ji Chen to divorce. He forced you in the first place. He was lustful and drugged you. It's not your fault. Seeing you live such a hard life, I really feel sorry for you. I feel bad when you are not happy. When you were in the palace, you never suffered such a hardship!"

Someone else said, "The princess is right. Let's divorce. It's hard to live with him. He even slept with Madam Zhang II. Such a person is a disgrace to scholars. He should not be allowed to take the imperial examination."

Yunfang was so confused that she felt her ears were going numb. Could she still go back to Prince Heng's mansion? Thinking about those days, the days she and Concubine Su had lived together were so wonderful.

In fact, she also wished Ji Chen would die. She heard that Concubine Su had returned to the palace and was picked up by Prince Heng himself, which meant that she had regained the prince's favor. Even if she didn't become Prince Heng's woman, being a maid beside Concubine Su was a thousand times better than her current situation.

If she continued to stay in the Su family, she would always be Ji Chen's woman, providing him with food and drink, and he would beat her whenever he was unhappy. Why should she have to live like this?

What Jiang Fenghua said touched her heart.

"Princess, you really didn't lie to me. Can I divorce Ji Chen?" In fact, she and Ji Chen were not married at all. When she beat the drum to appeal for justice just now, she admitted that she was speaking out for her husband. Only by letting the government arrange a divorce could she get rid of the relationship that he was her husband.

"Of course, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty have long stipulated that if a couple cannot live in harmony and divorces, they will not be guilty. As long as Ji Chen signs the letter of divorce, you will be free. From now on, you can marry freely and have nothing to do with him anymore." Jiang Fenghua said.

The people started to make a noise again, "Miss Yunfang, get a divorce. You are so beautiful, you will definitely be able to find a better husband."

"Yes, Princess, you are kind-hearted and will definitely help you."

"Let's get a divorce. Don't feel any psychological burden. A person like Ji Chen might do something evil in the future."

At this moment, an official from the Ministry of Rites suddenly came to greet Jiang Fenghua, "Your subordinate pays respect to Princess Heng."

Jiang Fenghua asked, "Excuse me, sir, who are you?" He was wearing an official uniform, so she really didn't recognize him.

Zuo Si slowly spoke, "I am Zuo Si from the Ministry of Rites. I am here on the orders of Grand Tutor Pan to issue a ban on the student Ji Chen from taking the exam. His son has committed adultery. People with such behavior are not qualified to take the imperial examination, let alone become officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

This matter reached the ears of Master Pan, who was the chief examiner, so Ji Chen would definitely not be able to take part in the imperial examination.
