Chapter 1797: Divorce

Translator: Lonelytree

“Have you heard?” In the streets and alleys, there was another round of discussion among the crowd.

“You’re not asking about the resurrection of the Great General’s mother, are you?” Someone immediately said.

“Uh, you all know!” He suddenly felt that the mystery had disappeared without a trace.

“Isn’t this nonsense?” Another person retorted,” The imperial edict has already been issued. Who wouldn’t know?”

The imperial edict he was referring to was the edict of Yuan Shutong divorcing her husband and the edict of her being conferred the title of a first-grade imperial madam.

Because of this, it caused a sensation in the entire capital.

Of course, the Guardian General and the Princess of the Guguo, who were the focus of the world, would cause a commotion whenever something happened.

This time was no exception.

On the contrary, this time, it seemed to be even more exciting.

Because everyone knew that the guardian general’s mother had died from massive bleeding during labour.

That was why there were rumours of him harming his mother.

Later on, he was even named the ” Lonely Jinx of the Heavenly Fiend ” by the old monk Xu Yun, who passed by the Duke’s Mansion. Not only would he be a jinx to his mother, but he would also be a jinx to his family. Therefore, his birth mother was killed the moment he was born.

Everyone thought that this was the case!

However, after twenty-eight years, when the Great General’s mother appeared again, the person who was slapped in the face was not only those who were secretly mocking and guessing but also the respected old monk Xu Yun.

Although they didn’t know if Old Monk Xu Yun was dead or alive, Yuan Shutong’s appearance had damaged his reputation.

“Since Madam Jiang and Jiang Yunfeng are both still alive, how can the emperor issue a decree to let the two of them divorce? Oh, no, the decree lets Madam Jiang divorce her husband!” At this point, he paused for a moment. His face was filled with disbelief, moral condemnation, and anger. He continued emotionally,” She’s a woman. How can she divorce her husband? This was simply going against the norm. In the future, wouldn’t women be able to divorce their husbands? Isn’t this making women rebel?”

As soon as he said this, the people around him quickly retreated a few meters away from him, their eyes filled with fear.

When he finally reacted, he saw this scene.

He said in confusion, “You… What’s wrong with you guys?”

Someone said to him pitifully,” Are you doubting His Majesty?”

“Questioning His Majesty?” He was still in a daze.” How is this possible?”

But soon, his face turned extremely pale. Clearly, he had reacted.

He looked powerless as he shook his head repeatedly.” No, no, I’m not doubting His Majesty!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the governor of the capital city brought his men over and asked sternly,” I received the news that someone is questioning the emperor’s decree. Who is it?”

As soon as he asked this question, he heard a man fall to the ground with a thud.

Obviously, it was him.

The governor of the capital city ordered people to take him away.

However, before taking him away, he looked at everyone and said,” I know that you have doubts about Madam Jiang’s divorce. Then I will tell everyone that the suffering and tiredness Madam Jiang has suffered is far beyond our imagination. You should know that Jiang Yunfeng married another woman less than a month after Madam Jiang allegedly passed away. The new woman was already pregnant. Don’t you think it’s strange? His Majesty felt that a heartless man like Jiang Yunfeng was not worthy of Madam Jiang. Therefore, he made the decision to let Madam Jiang divorce her husband!”

As soon as the capital governor finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent!
