Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan walked into the courtroom and was surprised to see that Zhang was already sitting behind the desk. Thinking that Zhang was quick, she could only walk to the desk next to her and sit down. When she saw the woman kneeling below, she said, "Bring a chair for this pregnant woman."

Although Manager Zhang was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not refuse. After all, the pregnant woman was kneeling there, and he was afraid that something might happen.

Seeing that Lord Zhang did not object, the yamen runners in the hall respectfully withdrew, brought a chair, and said to the woman, "Sit down, this is a reward from the princess."

The pregnant woman then supported her 5-month-old belly and stood up with difficulty, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Liu Yanyan looked at Jiao Xin and glared at the kneeling man. She turned her head and looked at the woman and said gently, "Sit down! It's so uncomfortable to kneel while pregnant."

The woman then sat down on the chair tremblingly, looked fiercely at her kneeling husband, and then looked away.

At this time, Mr. Zhang looked at the sun outside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the gavel, and knocked it on the table with a loud bang. "Who are you and what do you want? Tell me quickly and don't waste time."

The man kneeling on the ground bowed his head respectfully and said, "Sir, I am Chen Yi from Chenjiachong. The one sitting here is my wife, Chen Heshi, formerly known as He Jiao, who is currently five months pregnant."

Zhang, the head of the court, slammed the gavel in anger, looked at Chen Yi and scolded, "You, you, your wife is five months pregnant, are you a human being? You come here to ask for a divorce, what are you thinking, how can there be a scum like you under your rule, you are such a bastard, take your wife back quickly, why can't you have a divorce when your wife is pregnant."

Chen Yi kowtowed and complained, "Sir, sir, it's not me who wants a divorce. It's my wife who wants a divorce. I have no choice but to bring her here. I want her to give up this idea. Sir, sir, it's not me who wants a divorce. I don't want a divorce!"

Zhang was so frightened that he dropped the gavel in his hand. The gavel fell on the table with a loud noise. He turned to look at the thin and gentle He and said uncertainly, "Chen He, you are pregnant. You can't make a fuss about divorce. How are you going to live after the divorce? Come back with me quickly. I will pretend that I didn't hear anything."

Liu Yanyan looked at Chen Heshi but did not speak first, wanting her to speak on her own. After all, she was so pregnant, and she would not think of coming to the yamen to divorce unless she was desperate.

Chen Yi knelt beside her and said with a pitiful face, "Wife, wife, look, the adults said so, so don't get divorced, just come home with me! I'll buy you whatever you want, okay? Don't be willful, really come home!"

Chen He immediately stepped back nervously and almost fell. Liu Yanyan hurriedly said, "Don't step back, you might fall down. Chen Yi, kneel down and don't move. Kneel well."

Only then did Chen Yi dare not move forward.

Chen He then covered her mouth and cried out loudly. She didn't want to look at Lord Zhang. She looked at the princess and said, "Please, princess, help me. I don't want to live with him anymore. I heard everything he and his mother were plotting in the room last night. I want to divorce and go home. It's not like I can't have another child at home. I must divorce! I don't want to live with him for even a single day."

Zhang was angry. Seeing that she was five months pregnant, he did not scold her. “You need to think about it carefully.”

Liu Yanyan looked at her pitiful appearance and said, "You call me Lord Liu. We are in court. Tell me, what did they plot yesterday? What scared you so much? We must divorce. Explain everything clearly. Only after we have explained it clearly can we decide whether the divorce can be granted."

Chen Yi was in a panic, staring at Chen Heshi, "Heshi, don't talk nonsense. Why did our family treat you badly when you married into our family? You insist on getting a divorce, how embarrassing! How can I hold my head up in the village and follow me home?"

Chen He was so angry that she covered her lips with a handkerchief and cried, tears falling. "You actually don't admit it, you bastard, I lived in your house, I was neither human nor ghost, you and your mother want to push me into the fire pit, why can't I come, we didn't get divorced before, now the princess is here! The princess will make the decision for me."

Manager Zhang said helplessly, "Chen Yi, stop making a fuss and let your wife tell you the whole story."

Chen Yi gritted his teeth in anger and looked at Chen Heshi warningly.

Chen He looked at the regent princess sitting above, her tearful eyes full of trust, "King, Lord Liu, you have to make the decision for me! Since I married into his family, I have been using my dowry. He has been idle at home all day long. When he has no money, he beats me. I have no choice but to use up most of my dowry. Now I am pregnant and have no dowry. He and his mother conspired that after I gave birth, if I gave birth to a son, he would keep it, but if I gave birth to a daughter, they would drown it, and I would also be sent to be pawned. That's why I followed him to the city and beat the drum of this government office desperately."

Chen Yi vehemently denied it, "He, you must be crazy! How could I, a scholar, use your dowry? It's disgraceful, disgraceful! Don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Zhang looked at Chen Yi with even more disappointment. He couldn't believe that he was a scholar. He didn't even know that scholars didn't kneel before officials. He didn't know how this scholar came to be. "Chen Yi, it's not your turn to speak. Shut up now."

Only then did Chen Yi shut his mouth angrily and looked at his wife sitting next to him with displeasure.

Liu Yanyan looked at Chen Heshi crying sadly, and felt distressed. She said, "Don't worry, we will investigate it thoroughly. After the investigation, if what you said is true, I will definitely let you divorce. You are not a slave, he can't sell you. I am very relieved that you can come to ask for a divorce."

Chen He then revealed a bitter smile and said, "Thank you, Princess, for being willing to make the decision for me. I must divorce. If I continue to live like this, I will be living a life worse than death."

Chen Yi knelt on one side, angry but not able to say anything, his teeth itching with rage.

When Lord Zhang saw that the princess had made a promise, he thought of the bad habit of pawning wives in the previous dynasty and that there were still people who wanted to use them, so he closed his mouth helplessly.

Liu Yanyan whispered in Liu Wu's ear, "Ask the yamen runners to go to Chen Yi's house and call Chen Yi's mother over, and invite a few more villagers over as well."

Only then did Liu Wu bow respectfully and leave.

Liu Yanyan looked at Chen Heshi and said, "The yamen runner has gone to invite someone. You are pregnant, so just sit and wait! If you are hungry, you can ask the yamen runner to bring you a meal."

Chen He was about to refuse when her stomach growled. She raised her head in shame and said, "This, this, this is causing trouble for the princess."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "No trouble." She waved to the yamen runner next to her to go get the food.

The bailiff understood, bowed, and left.

At this moment, Chen Yi's stomach began to growl. When he wanted to ask the bailiff to bring him some food, he found that no one paid any attention to him. He could only shut up and kneel on the ground, holding his stomach.
