Can't a princess ascend the throne?

Chapter 438 I did
After hearing this, Wang Heng fell into a long silence. She was processing what she had just heard; the world was indeed different from what she had seen before. Didn't this mean that she could live the life she wanted in this completely different world?
She had once considered living a conventional life, but everyone and everything around her hindered her, turning her into the cynical, easily angered person she is today. Since the world is like this, why can't she make a change? She's just the first woman in history to divorce her husband; men can divorce their wives, so why can't she? Are men inherently superior to women? There's no such logic in this world.

And if she were to propose a divorce, wouldn't she surely see a look of utter shame and indignation on Xie Kun's pretentious face? After all, what he values ​​most in this life is his reputation as the head of the Xie family. Just thinking about this made Wang Heng want to laugh.

Moreover, having abandoned the identities of both the Wang and Xie families, it would be difficult for her to survive peacefully on her own. However, if she became the first person in history to divorce a husband, the title alone would be enough to ensure a stable life for a long time. Furthermore, even if the other party didn't say it, Wang Heng's keen sense told her that now was the time for Prince Chen to develop his power, and her situation could definitely be used as an opportunity. Wang Heng could naturally use this opportunity to tie himself to Prince Chen. As long as the prince didn't fall from power, her future days would certainly be comfortable and joyful.

So, with so many benefits, what's there to fear, even if it means taking some risks?

Under Chunyu Shuang's gaze, Wang Heng nodded, her face full of fighting spirit.

"I do!"

When the group returned to Jiu Que's residence, Jiu Que naturally overheard their plans from the two women, and was shocked.

Sometimes I really want to ask, is she a time traveler or are her friends the ones who time traveled?

They're amazing! What they did completely exceeded my expectations. This is divorce, the first time in thousands of years, right? But for some reason, just thinking about the expression that Xie Kun might have on his pretentious face makes Jiu Que restless.

She wasn't one to shy away from trouble, and now that she was His Majesty's legitimate daughter, she naturally had even more reason to do what she always wanted to do. Take, for example, her relationship with her husband. Now, if the couple wanted to completely sever ties, there were essentially two options: a divorce or a formal separation. In other words, if the husband refused, the wife could very well receive a divorce decree, and might even be dragged into the marriage until her death, unable to escape its grip.

Putting aside the grudges and entanglements involved, these two methods alone demonstrate the extreme injustice done to women.

"If you are willing to be the first, I will naturally give my full support. However, you should think carefully, as there is no turning back once the arrow is released. If you want to go back on your word, I will not agree."

"Of course. Rest assured, I know what's important. There must be many other women in the world suffering the same fate as me. I am fortunate to have escaped prosperity and gained freedom, but I cannot abandon my suffering sisters. I also hope to help them. Moreover, with Prince Chen in a high position, it is the time to fight for women's rights. If not now, when?"

"In that case, I agree."

The three seemed to have forgotten that Xie Mingchen, with a detached expression, was sitting nearby. Xie Mingchen, overhearing their conversation, offered no objection or questioning. Perhaps, as Xie Kun said, he was inherently heartless. He preferred to stand by his mother's side rather than his cold-hearted father. Besides, his two best friends were present; would he really help men he didn't even know who betrayed his friends? Xie Mingchen couldn't do that. Now that his mother was rescued, Xie Mingchen's attention had shifted to the medical school that Jiu Que had promised him. He was waiting for the three to reach a conclusion before asking them, when intermittent shouts came from outside.

The commotion outside was certainly significant, but the Prince's mansion occupied a much larger area, and the sounds, having passed through the corridors, rockeries, and gardens, became extremely faint by the time they reached the living room. However, upon seeing the steward approaching with a troubled expression, all four understood that representatives from the Wang and Xie families had arrived.

At this point, Wang Heng hadn't even changed her clothes, which shows how fast those people were moving.

"Does the layman wish to remain here? I will handle that."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have the courage. Moreover, the Wang family has never dared to come and see me for so many years. I suppose they think they wouldn't dare to do anything to me, a daughter of the Wang family. Now I want to go and see what the people from the Wang family will say."

Wang Heng was never a weak person. After leaving the Xie family, her fighting strength increased dramatically. She had already recovered to 70-80% of her former strength. Dealing with a few people from the Wang and Xie families would be a piece of cake for her. Moreover, she didn't even care about the face that noblewomen valued most. What could stop her?

This time, we'll go out and expose the shame of the Wang and Xie families, stomp on them hard, and let the whole world know how filthy the supposedly most prestigious and upright families are inside.

She actually hoped that his biological parents and brothers would come this time. After all, they had kept it a secret for so many years, which made her quite angry.

As she walked out, Wang Heng couldn't help but glance slightly at her son, who was silently following behind her. Her feelings towards him were quite complex. Initially, she certainly didn't like Xie Mingchen and felt no sense of kinship or blood ties. But as the child grew up and gradually displayed a completely different demeanor and temperament from the Wang and Xie families, Wang Heng couldn't help but feel gratified. She felt he was truly her child, especially since it was this child who had brought the prince to the Xie family to rescue her today. Therefore, her feelings were even more complicated now.

But even after opening her mouth, she couldn't say anything. Fortunately, Xie Mingchen, who was standing next to her, was very understanding and told his mother not to worry about him and to bravely go out.

“Mother, go ahead boldly. I will always be watching from behind. You don’t need to worry about me. The most important thing now is to get rid of the Wang and Xie families as soon as possible. If you are willing, you can live with me. I can support you now.”

"...We'll talk about it later. Anyway, you're great, completely different from your father. I can rest easy knowing you're like this. No, I can also be at ease now. At least I didn't give birth to someone like Xie Kun."
