Chapter 142 Seven Grounds for Divorce, Dowry Will Not Be Returned

Shen Qing's eyes sparkled with a smile, and she picked up the letter and continued to read. To be honest, she was a little curious about the reason why the Mu family divorced her.

The content of the divorce letter was not long, only one page, but most of it was accusing Shen Qing of crimes.

Shen Qing saw that it was written on the divorce letter——

Soon after Shen entered the family, she changed her past dignity and acted recklessly, committing many crimes:

First, she was disobedient to her husband. After Shen entered the family, she repeatedly contradicted her husband with words, and even relied on the power of her mother's family to break her husband's legs, which was really vicious;

Second, she was unfilial to her parents-in-law. After Shen entered the family, she repeatedly disobeyed her parents-in-law, causing her mother-in-law to faint several times in anger, leaving a root of illness that was difficult to recover;

Third: she made things difficult for the concubine. Shen had been in the family for more than a year, not only did she not give birth to a child for the family, but she also deliberately made things difficult for the concubine, causing her to have a miscarriage, and harmed the children of the Marquisate, which was extremely vicious.

Shen's words and deeds are improper, and her mind is not good. It is really embarrassing for the position of the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. Therefore, she is divorced today. From now on, the man and the woman will marry and have nothing to do with each other.

As for the dowry... a woman who is divorced for the seven crimes has no right to take back the dowry.

It must be said that the Yangling Marquis' Mansion is really a good calculation.

A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Qing's eyes, and he folded the divorce letter and handed it to Chan Yi beside him, "Keep it, and rely on it to empty the Mu family in the future."

The law of Da Chu states that a woman who is divorced for the seven crimes has no right to dispose of the dowry, but what if she has not committed any of the seven crimes? That would be malicious slander by the Yangling Marquis' Mansion.

Divorcing her wife without reason, hiring a killer to kill, and swallowing up the dowry. Since the Yangling Marquis' Mansion took the initiative to hand the handle to her, she will make the Mu family suffer a loss.

She wants to take advantage of the trouble of the Yining Marquis' Mansion to grab all her dowry in her hands. This is really ugly.

Although Chan Yi did not see the contents of the letter, she also glimpsed the word "divorce" at the top, and felt extremely depressed. It was clear that the Yangling Marquis's Mansion had bad intentions, but now they turned the tables and divorced his wife. She had never seen such a shameless person in her life, and it was a big family.

However, she still stuffed the divorce letter into the envelope and put it in her arms. She waited for Shen Qing to slap the face of that annoying family.

She opened another letter, and the content inside was the same as Shen Qing expected. Chu Lingxi asked her if she had considered it. Tomorrow was the deadline. At the same time, he vowed to guarantee that if Shen Shuyu entered the Prince Duan's Mansion, Chu Lingxi would definitely protect her in his palm, etc., etc., a full two pages of paper, and his attitude was very sincere.

And the moment Chu Lingxi sent this letter, he was destined to lose.

Shen Qing asked Chan Yi to bring a pen and ink, and wrote four big words on the blank space of the letter-

Wishful thinking!

Then she put the letter into an envelope and sent it back.

After dealing with the two letters, Shen Qing got up and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

She and Lu Yan had already set up the net, and tonight was the time to close the net.

…

At the end of the Xu hour.

The dark clouds covered the moon, and the night wind was slightly cool.

Shen Qing led nearly a hundred palace guards out of the palace and headed straight for the city gate.

Shen Yian was of noble status, and this case had a great impact, so the assassination case was personally investigated by Liao Hong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Shen Qing had already passed the news to Liao Hong during the day, saying that an important clue to the case had been found, and asked him to go out of the city tonight to arrest the suspect.

When Shen Qing came over, Liao Hong had already arrived, and there were two people standing in front of him who shouldn't be here.

One was Lu Yan, and the other was Jing'an King Lu Tingyu.

Lu Tingyu had been away from the court for many years, and had not attended a palace banquet for more than ten years, so this was the first time Shen Qing had seen him.

She was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, her long hair was tied up high, and the night-shining pearl on the white jade crown emitted a cold light under the moonlight.

She was taller than Lu Yan, and her appearance was even more extraordinary. Although she was nearly forty years old, she did not look old at all. She was still dazzling standing beside the elegant Lu Yan.

Shen Qing took the initiative to step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Prince."

Lu Tingyu smiled and praised: "Your Majesty has given birth to a good daughter to overturn the case for your father."

Shen Qing was rarely reserved, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Lu Yan looked at Shen Qing and stated the purpose of their visit, "Miss Shen, my father was ordered by His Majesty to assist in the investigation of this matter. I and the Marquis of Yining are also close friends, so I thought of going together to contribute to it."

Shen Qing thanked politely.

Liao Hong showed the token bestowed by the emperor to the guards at the city gate, and the group left the city smoothly.

The purpose of Shen Qing's trip was a manor thirty miles west of Shengjing City, which was also the place where Chu Lingxi had cultivated his power for many years.

At the beginning, Shen Qing made multiple preparations. First, he asked Lingyi and Lu Yan to track down the whereabouts of Lu, and asked Fu Yi to monitor the movements of Prince Duan's Mansion at all times. At the same time, he carefully searched the residences of Liu Ting and his brothers for no less than three times.

According to Shen Qing's idea, Lu's status was low, and Prince Duan's Mansion had just been built. Chu Lingxi should not detain people in the mansion, but with Chu Lingxi's personality, he would not let people go too far.

So Shen Qing asked Lingyi and Lu Yan to secretly investigate the remote streets and alleys in Shengjing City and the area within a radius of dozens of miles outside the city.

However, time was still too tight. The two parties investigated for a full ten days and did not get any useful information.

However, on the tenth day, Fu Yi found that Chu Lingxi's confidant quietly left the city.

Fu Yi followed and saw that Chu Lingxi's confidant had arrived at a manor, and Lu was in the manor.

As for why Chu Lingxi made such a mistake at such a critical juncture, it was entirely because Lu Yan's search was too big. At most one day, he would find the manor. Chu Lingxi was afraid of exposing his power, so he had to move overnight.

Fu Yi did not alert the enemy, but kept secretly monitoring the movements of those people.

As for why Shen Qing had found the whereabouts of Lu but still did not let Fu Yi bring the person back, it was because Shen Qing was waiting for the action of Yangling Marquis' Mansion.

And Yangling Marquis' Mansion did not disappoint Shen Qing. This divorce letter was enough for Shen Qing to push Yangling Marquis' Mansion to death.

In addition, Shen Qing also searched out two special wooden plaques from the residence of Liu Ting's brothers. The patterns carved on them were very unique, like tokens of some hidden forces.

One hour later.

Shen Qing and his party arrived outside the manor.

It was midnight at this time, and the whole manor fell into silence.

Seeing that Shen Qing had arrived, Fu Yi disappeared from the dark night without attracting any attention.

Shen Qing brought a lot of guards with him, and the Ministry of Justice and Lu Tingyu and his son also brought a lot of people. Three teams of people broke into the manor from three directions, and the sound of fighting and shouting continued.

Half an hour later, the battle was decided.

The people in the manor fought desperately, and their martial arts were not bad, and only a few people were left alive in the end.

Lu was not injured, but was just a little frightened.

In the manor, Shen Qing found a lot of special wooden signs that were the same as the residence of Liu Ting and his brothers. This also proved that Liu Ting and his brothers were indeed in the same group as the people in the manor. As for who the master behind the manor was, it was not Shen Qing's business. That was the Ministry of Justice's business, or the emperor sent someone to investigate personally.

In short, Shen Yian was innocent.

The matter had come to an end. Shen Qing and his party were preparing to return to the city, and the Ministry of Justice left some people to guard the scene.

Liao Hong knew very well that this force was not simple, and the emperor would definitely investigate it strictly.

When the group returned to the city, it was already the end of the hour of the first month. Instead of returning to their respective residences, they headed straight to the palace.

With the token given by the emperor, the group passed through without hindrance.

The ministers who had arrived early in the morning court saw this situation and immediately discussed it, and were very curious about what had happened.

…

Because of Shen Qinghui's four words, Chu Lingxi was so annoyed that he didn't sleep well all night. Finally, he felt a little sleepy, and heard his confidant knocking on the door and saying, "Master, there was news from the palace just now, saying that His Majesty invites you to the palace."
