After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 16 Punishing the scumbag and divorcing the husband

"Why don't you pay the money? Are you kidding me?"

Shi Nuanyu questioned, her voice low and condescending.

Li Rong was shaking like a sieve, and half of his pants slipped down, revealing his white flesh.

"Princess, please spare my life. Princess, please spare my life. I really can't afford a thousand taels of silver. I beg you to spare me for all my hard work and dedication to Nanyue."

These words caused an uproar among the people present, and they all despised this shameless guy.

The wealthy merchants and patrons who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands watching the show cast contemptuous glances at him.

Li Rong felt so uncomfortable that he forced himself to hold back two tears.

Shi Nuanyu glanced at him with disdain, "You have money to spend on prostitutes but don't have money to pay me back. Do you think I'm a vegetarian?"

She pressed on, "You've devoted your heart and soul to our dynasty. Tell me, what have you done to benefit the people?"

Under repeated questioning, Li Rong stammered and could not explain clearly.

Laughter came from the second floor again, and Shi Nuanyu threatened in a vicious voice.

"If you're laughing, I'll cut off your tongue."

The man made a silencing gesture with his mouth to show that he was being well behaved and would not cause any trouble.

"Princess, the treasure is here."

Zhenbao ran happily into Chunyu Tower and accurately found the location of his princess.

"Princess, Jewel has missed you so much."

She handed over a piece of letter paper and happily acted coquettishly towards her princess.

When she saw her sweet little treasure, Shi Nuanyu's anger disappeared.

"Zhenbao is indeed my sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket."

Pointing to the dried fruits on the table, "These are all yours."

Zhenbao was touched, "Princess, you are so kind."

Instead, he immersed himself in eating and showed off.

Shi Nuanyu opened the letter and saw a line of words written on it: Let’s be happy and part ways.

Miss Wen has figured it out.

Hua Lingyan caught a glimpse of these words out of the corner of her eye and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Let’s be happy and part ways.

Could it be that the princess came here for the owner of this letter?

Li Rong was crawling on the ground, waiting anxiously. Shi Nuanyu glanced at him and spoke.

"I heard that the Imperial Academy's Bachelor of Arts wrote many articles and was highly sought after by scholars. Is this true?"

The black-robed man had a confused expression, "Princess, maybe you remembered it wrongly? As far as I know, the tutor has no talent for writing.

On the other hand, Miss Wen, the legitimate daughter of the great scholar Wen Yuan, who married him, is very talented. Could it be that she was the one who stole the things?"

Stealing is a serious crime in Nanyue, not to mention impersonation.

Shi Nuanyu frowned slightly and looked at Li Rong with a curious look.

"Master of the Imperial Academy, stealing articles is punishable by thirty strokes of the cane and five years in prison. How dare you steal Wen Yiqiu's articles and poetry collection?"

Li Rong was suddenly at a loss. After thirty lashes of the cane, he was only half dead, not to mention the five years in prison.

"Princess, I didn't. I didn't steal the articles and poetry. I wrote them all. I can prove it."

"Proof?" Shi Nuanyu asked back, "How do you prove it?"

We must not show mercy to men who commit domestic violence, especially since everything they just said was true and they had never wronged him.

The man was surprised and said incredulously, "Could it be that the Imperial Scholar wants to ask Miss Wen to bear false witness? Under the feet of the Emperor and in front of the Princess, is Lang Lang Quan Kun trying to confuse right and wrong?"

Shi Nuanyu's eyes narrowed, with a cold look in them.

"Li Rong, Imperial Academy Scholar, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Rong's mind went blank and he could no longer think.

All the scholars and poets are knowledgeable, but he is good at mathematics and has only a vague understanding of literature and calligraphy, even this official.

His mind was in a tizzy, and he was growing increasingly panicked, as if something was bewitching him. Li Rang suddenly got up from the ground, his face twisted with anger.

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, affiliated with the Hanlin Academy. I have worked diligently for the past three years. Even if I have not achieved any merit, I have worked hard."

He became more and more indignant.

"You are nothing but an illiterate, sinister and vicious princess. Only the Emperor and Empress can punish me. What qualifications do you have to question me?"

Shi Nuanyu was calm, as if she was watching a clown.

This was the first time she had seen such a suicidal cannon fodder.

"Just because I am the only princess of Nanyue and the future crown princess, I can ask you even if you are a mere scholar of the Hanlin Academy, let alone a relative of the royal family."

She stood up and walked forward, looking directly into Li Rong's eyes.

"You are unscrupulous and immoral, with despicable character. You abused your wife and stole other people's works. You are not worthy of Wen Yiqiu."

A cold smile appeared on Shi Nuanyu's face. "I am the one who makes the decision today. Allow Wen Yiqiu to divorce her husband."

There has never been a precedent of a woman divorcing her husband in Nanyue, let alone a woman divorcing her husband.

These words drew strange looks from everyone present.

Hua Lingyan and the man looked at her at the same time, their eyes filled with different thoughts.

"You are not worthy, you have no right to make the decision. A woman cannot divorce her husband. Even if she dies, she must die in the mansion. In life, she is my Li Rong's person, and in death, she is my Li Rong's ghost."

"Shi Nuanyu, how dare you defy the laws set by the late emperor?"

Li Rong shouted angrily and even brought up the late emperor.

If Shi Nuanyu was the original owner, she would be wary of what the late emperor said, but she was not the original owner and had no reverence for the late emperor.

"You dare to call the princess by her name, and offend the royal family with an even greater offense."

Hua Lingyan rushed forward coldly and kicked his knees, forcing him to kneel down. The sword in her hand was already on Li Rong's neck.

He would slit his throat as soon as Shi Nuanyu gave the order.

Li Rong was so frightened that he froze and dared not move.

"You want to use the late emperor to pressure me? Have you forgotten who I am?"

Shi Nuanyu raised her foot and crushed the back of his hand. It was very appropriate to punish the domestic violence scumbag in the name of viciousness.

There was a sharp pain in the joints, and if you listened carefully you could hear the sound of bones breaking.

Li Rong's face was distorted with pain and he screamed, but he didn't dare to move his body for fear that the blade would cut his neck.

Shi Nuanyu retracted her foot, and her voice was like a devil's whisper, rushing into Li Rong's brain.

"Now you know who I am."

The pain woke Li Rong up. He was so frightened that his teeth were chattering, his back was cold and fear was written all over his bones.

Only at this moment did he realize how terrifying the princess was.

Even Hua Lingyan was reminded of the painful memories of the past by Shi Nuanyu. The same expression and the fragrance of osmanthus cake still lingered in her palms, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

How could he forget Shi Nuanyu's true nature.

Reason made Li Rong grit her teeth and insist, "I don't agree to divorce my husband."

If he agreed to divorce her now, those charges would be proven.

His reputation and fame will eventually be ruined.

"Wen Yiqiu asks Her Royal Highness the Princess to make the decision for me."

Outside Chunyu Tower, a woman in indigo clothes and with a cold face was kneeling. Her shoulders were straight and her thin figure blended into the drizzle.

Wen Yiqiu was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was clear to everyone's ears.

"I have been married to Li Rong, a scholar at the Imperial Academy, for three years. Three years ago, he came to ask for my hand in marriage and promised my father that he would treat me well.

But three months after the marriage, he started beating and kicking me, and even stole the articles I wrote and put his name on them.

A year ago, he had the idea of ​​taking a concubine, so he plotted to harm a commoner girl, but fortunately, she noticed it."

"Your Highness, I present to you evidence of Li Rong, a scholar at the Imperial Academy, accepting bribes, selling official positions, and abusing me during his tenure."
