It turned out that divorcing was a simple event.

Men spent a lot of time thinking about how to marry their beloved woman at home. But if they don’t cherish it, and reached the point of wanting to leave each other, their marriage can be break by a piece of paper. After that, they will go on their separate ways.

In the Chu Country nowadays, although the customs were not very open yet, it was not uncommon to separate and divorce. Especially with the noble ladies. As long as they don’t live well in their husband’s house, they can leave with the support of their family. However, it was the first case in the Dongfang Family and Changyuan Houfu.

Originally, according to the rules, the reasons for the separation and divorce must be reviewed first, to see whether there is any possibility of restoration, and decide about the allocation of properties to the children if there is.

But the emperor’s seal was already stamped on the document, so how dare they ask for further investigation? They could only handle the case neatly.

After Pei Qinghan took the document, he couldn’t speak for a long time.

Dongfang Wan walked closer to Pei Qinghan, took off the veil hat on her head, and looked at him with clear eyes.

After a month of recuperation, her originally dry yellow and thin cheeks became plumped again. Her white skin was also restored. She was born extremely beautiful and doesn’t need to wear any makeup.

She married Pei Qinghan when she was 16 and gave birth to a daughter when she was 17. She was now 30 years old, but she still looked like 20.

Pei Qinghan looked at Dongfang Wan in a daze. As if he went back to the year when they just married, and back to the year when he first saw her.

“I heard that the person who impersonated my daughter is still living in your house?” Dongfang Wan asked.

Pei Qinghan nodded his head: “Yes, she was… I… …” He didn’t know what to say. How could he say that knew she was a fake, but still brought her back?

“What are you going to do with them?” Dongfang Wan asked again.

Pei Qinghan was speechless, he can’t do anything now. If he cleans up Bai Zhenzhu now, the Bai Family, who was hiding, will definitely spread ‘rumors’ in the street. By then, not only he will become the laughingstock in the capital, but he was also sure that the Dongfang Family will join the fun and will not spare him.

Seeing him silent, Dongfang Wan’s flat eyebrows frowned, then said: “The father and son of the Bai Family, who were killed by you and Prince Xiao last time, do you know why they were put in jail?”

Pei Qinghan was stunned and thought for a while. It seemed that he was really not sure what it was for. When Mrs. Liu came to the houfu and beg him, she seemed to have said something, but she didn’t say it clearly. And he was upset at the time, so he didn’t pay attention to it. Thinking about it now, he can’t remember the whole story.

“Why?” Pei Qinghan asked.

Dongfang Wan sneered coldly and shook her head. “No wonder you were fooled by that bitch. You didn’t even know why those two were arrested, but you killed them. In your eyes, are human lives so worthless?”

Pei Qinghan opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Dongfang Wan. She said: “That father and son kidnapped Bai Zhi while she went out to buy medicine. They tied her up and let her sink in the river. My daughter struggled under the cold water until she was able to escape and recovered her life. But you, you—” As she spoke, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

Bai Zhi walked over and took her mother’s hand: “Mother, why bother? It’s all over. Let’s go back!”

Pei Qinghan stood in the same place stupidly, unable to move for a long time. What did he do? What did he do?
