Hit out of the blue, Chen Shaohuo stood frozen on the spot, as if petrified.

His dashing groom's attire stood in stark contrast to the rough and tattered woman across from him.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she trembled and said, "If you despise me as your wife, I won't blame you. Give me a divorce letter, and I'll accept my fate."

But this child, he is your blood, you can't ignore him!

Saying that, she shoved the child beside her into Chen Shaohuo's arms.

The action scared the child, and he immediately burst into tears.

The scene was heartbreaking.

At this very moment, a woman wearing a phoenix crown and red wedding robes burst out of the Lin residence. It was clear that she was today's bride.

To be frank, in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, this woman completely outclasses Chen Shaohao's wife.

She pursed her lips and walked all the way to Chen Shaohao.

Given the circumstances, she must already be aware of what's going on.

"I..."

"I also know that from the beginning, you approached me because of my father's power, hoping to use our family's influence to advance your own career."

Chen Shaohao's face grew even darker, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Originally, since you have the means to do so much, I was willing to marry you. After all, you did pass the palace examination. As long as my father fully supports you, you might even be able to change your fate for the better."

"But you should never, ever have done this. You shouldn't have abandoned your wife and left this mess unaddressed. Now not only have you disgraced yourself, but you've dragged me, my father, and the entire Lin family down with you!"

Ms. Lin's words made Li Chen look at her a few more times. This woman was interesting.

"Let's go."

Li Chen said to Su Jinpa: "There's nothing much to see."

Su Jinpa gritted her teeth and said angrily, "A person like this should absolutely not be allowed to enter the court as an official!"

Li Chen laughed and said, “People who don't work for themselves will be destroyed by heaven and earth. On one hand, there is staying in the capital with no food to eat, and on the other hand, there is the daughter of a wealthy family. Even if she marries as a son-in-law, she will have no worries about food and clothing. They are all people who have suffered, so it's not surprising that they would make such a choice.”

Su Jinpa reluctantly said, "He's clearly a scoundrel who abandoned his wife, but in your mouth, he seems to have a lot of hardship."

"Whether it's justified or not, abandoning his wife and children is a fact. I have no intention of defending him."

Su Jinping suddenly realized and said, "You knew all along"

"This batch of exam takers is quite a small group, I've basically read through the papers of every single one, and also had the Eastern Factory investigate their backgrounds. This Chen Shaohuo, he rings a bell."

"He has some writing talent, but as you can see, he lacks character."

Su Jinpa said angrily, "I thought this was a good story about a poor student working hard to improve himself and achieve success against all odds, but it turned out to be so disgusting."

"The stories of lovestruck men and women in novels and tales who ultimately find happiness are all made up. In real life, there aren't so many happy endings."

Su Jinpa bit her lip, still holding some resentment.

"What do you think he'll do" Su Jinpa suddenly asked.

"What else can be done The clever ones simply divorced their wives. He's now safely entered the imperial examination, and even if he fails, he still has the honor of a jinshi degree. Since the Lin family is willing to marry their daughter to him, they wouldn't fail to understand this."oard“Currently, within the Qin state, the Crown Prince possesses the moral high ground. However, in terms of political power, he is undeniably the weaker party. Furthermore, with years of natural dis...
