Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

The lady boss chuckled and said, "Drinking, drinking, it's all the Duke's family business. We are from a small family, so we can't talk about it. Just watch the fireworks and have fun."

As they drank, they raised their glasses and said, "That's right! Drinking is so great!"

"That's right, good wine!"

The tavern was bustling with activity, but they didn't know that the protagonist they were talking about was standing at the door, his face livid, and he glared at them fiercely before turning around and leaving.

As soon as I returned to the general's mansion, I saw the old lady standing at the door with a sullen face, "Mom, it's so cold, why did you come out?"

The old lady pushed Gu Beichen's hand away and said coldly, "Tell me what happened? Why are people outside saying that you and Yanyan have divorced? Tell me."

Gu Beichen looked at the people outside the general's mansion who were watching the fun, and pulled the old lady inside, saying as he walked, "Mom, let's go back to the house and talk. Don't let them laugh at you."

The old lady clenched her fists, looked at the crowd of onlookers, and walked towards the mansion, "Okay, go back and explain to me why you want to divorce. Are you stupid?"

In the old lady's room, she sat on a low couch, covered with a quilt, staring at her son with vicious eyes and said, "Tell me! Why do you want a divorce? Now you can only use one hand. What will you do if the Duke doesn't help you after the divorce?"

Gu Beichen said angrily, "Early this morning, I went out on patrol and saw the Duke's carriage heading to the government office. I was curious and followed it in. I saw Liu Yanyan applying for a divorce. I have never written a divorce letter, and I don't know where her letter came from. I wanted to steal it, but it has been registered and has the seal of His Majesty on it."

The old lady clenched the quilt tightly and said, "Impossible! How is it possible! I didn't sign, so her divorce can't be successful!"

Gu Beichen said, "Mom, there is your signature on it. I saw it before I could grab it."

The old lady slammed the bed and said angrily, "She saw that you were paralyzed, so while I was buying you medicine, she took out an IOU for me to sign. She wanted to leave a long time ago! She despised you and kicked you out! Wuuuuuuuu, why is my life so miserable!"

"Son! She, she had been planning to leave for a long time! She is so vicious, seeing that you had no future, she left a long time ago!"

Gu Beichen said dejectedly, "Yes! I am a useless person now. It is only natural for her, a legitimate daughter of a Duke's mansion, to want to leave. It is only natural for her to do so."

Only Lin Rou, who was standing next to him, said, "Cousin, I know that she is fickle. I am the only one who is devoted to you. Now that she is gone, you can marry me. Let's choose a good day to announce it!"

Gu Beichen hugged Lin Rou and said soothingly, "Don't worry, this can't be rushed. I have to find another daughter of a noble family, otherwise you will suffer."

Before Lin Rou could react, Mei Lan and Zhu Ju said, "Rou'er, sister doesn't really love the general, only us do. Sister Rou'er doesn't care about the general, and she still wants the position of the legal wife."

When Gu Beichen heard this, the pain in his eyes faded a little, and he said, "You two, don't talk to Rou'er like this. How could Rou'er not feel sorry for me?"

Meilan and Zhuju cried pitifully, "General, if you don't feel sorry for us sisters, you should feel sorry for Sister Rouer, wuwuwu."

Gu Beichen let go of Rou'er, hugged them and said, "Rou'er is my mother's niece, you two should give way to her. I love you, how can I not love you?"

The old lady watched them flirting, and was so angry that her teeth itched. She said, "Stop hugging me." After they let go, she said again, "Work hard and find another daughter of a rich family. Otherwise, how will you climb up in the future?"

Gu Beichen said confidently, "Mom, don't worry, your son is very handsome, he can marry any daughter-in-law you want!"

When Lin Rou heard this, she was so angry that her teeth itched. She still said with a weak face, "Yes! My husband is so elegant, how could no one like him?" Why, why, he divorced Liu Yanyan and didn't support me as his legal wife. Am I so bad? Why?

The old lady looked up and saw the fireworks still exploding in the sky in the distance. She was shaking with anger. "Liu Yanyan wants to make the divorce known to everyone! She has no shame. Is divorce a good thing? She is so unlucky to marry such a thing." She closed the window in anger. "Beichen, go back and have a good time with them. Have some sons and make her, an abandoned woman, die of anger."

Seeing that his mother was very angry, Gu Beichen pulled Meilan and Zhuju out. Lin Rou could only hold up her skirt and walk behind her, shouting, "Brother Beichen, wait for Rouer."

Gu Beichen then let go of the two of them, and walked back with his arm around Lin Rou. He just looked at the sky full of fireworks outside, and felt an unbearable sadness in his heart.

Outside the Geunjeongjeon Hall

Emperor Hongda stood at the door and looked at the fireworks outside. He smiled and said to Li Chuanyu beside him, "Look, this old guy, Duke Liu, just can't keep secrets. His daughter got divorced, and he treated it like a great thing. He set off so many fireworks in the middle of the night that people who didn't know would think he was getting married."

Li Chuanyu suppressed his laughter and said, "Duke Liu, it has always been like this. If there is anything, you have to speak it out, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable."

Emperor Hongda smiled and said, "Yes! He has always been like that, afraid of working, and always hides away. But he did a good job in disaster relief this time."

Li Chuanyu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the secret guards reported that the Duke spent more than 30 taels of silver on disaster relief this time, and he has tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in his hands."

Emperor Hongda said in disbelief, "This old man is really willing to give up for his daughter! He didn't even mention a word about the matter of hundreds of thousands of taels, and just wanted his daughter to divorce. It can be seen how much he loves his daughter." What a pity, he was pinched so hard that he can't be pinched next time.

Li Chuanyu nodded and said, "The daughter of the Liu family is indeed adorable. She used to come in and play often."

Emperor Hongda nodded and said, "Yes! It's that old man who wouldn't let her in, as if he was afraid that I would eat her." Thinking of the money Duke Liu had spent and how cute Liu Yanyan was when she was a child, he couldn't help but say, "Little Li, go ask the Ministry of Rites to issue an imperial edict to compensate her. I'm an emperor and I can't let my subjects suffer." There are not many people in this city who are willing to pay so much silver at once.

Li Chuanyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty, what do you want to compensate?"

Emperor Hongda stared blankly at the fireworks outside, and after a long while he said, "A princess won't do, and a county lady won't do either. Let's make her a county lady, and choose a small border town as her fiefdom."

Li Chuanyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise! Duke Liu must be very grateful! No one will dare to bully his daughter in the future."

Emperor Hongda nodded and continued to watch the fireworks outside.
