Chapter 433

Empress Wei could help but look at Qin Jiu, remembering that if her niece had not escaped, she would have been betrothed to a fool by the Li family’s cheap slaves.

Just thinking about it made Empress Wei scared, this good girl was ruined because of those cold-hearted people.

Ordinary people would have feelings for a cat or a dog, let alone a living person. The Li family, Fang family, and the people from Wang Yu’s palace were all inhumane!!

At this time, she heard Qin Jiu’s crisp voice. “No!”

Meeting the confused gazes of Empress Wei and Fang Hanjun, Qin Jiu said with a straight face. “The so-called “harmonious separation” means literally, “harmony” must first be achieved before the “annulment”.”

“As I see it, just repudiate him.” Qin Jiu said.

Fang Hanjun’s eyes suddenly lit up like the stars in the sky shining brightly.

After a momentary confusion, Empress Wei began to think seriously.

Harmonious separation was also known as mutual consent for divorce, was base on the principle of peace in which husband and wife reach an agreement after reconciliation. A separation means that both man and woman were equal.

In contrast, the word “repudiate divorce” carries an air of superiority; a man divorces his wife means that the man was superior and the woman was inferior and that the fault lies with the woman. And the reason why the woman was divorce was because it was her fault.

Since ancient times, according to customs and laws, it has been customary for men to divorce their wives. There was no precedent for women to divorce their husbands in this dynasty, but there was one case in the previous dynasty. At that time, when the husband betrayed the country, the princess divorced her husband under the pretext of his unfaithfulness and unrighteousness.

Fang Hanjun’s separation would inevitably push her to the forefront of the storm and even she would be criticized verbally and written by those pedantic literati, at the same time, it was also the attitude of the emperor and Fang Hanjun. The fault lies in Wang Yu’s palace forcing Fang Hanjun marry during her filial piety.

Therefore, Fang Hanjun must take initiative to strike first and attack Wang Yu.

After thinking about it, Empress Wei thought it was good. Turning her head, she asked Fang Hanjun. “Hanjun, what do you think?”

Fang Hanjun nodded without thinking, “Okay.”

She did not think too much about it as mush as Empress Wei did and only felt that it was more pleasing, otherwise, she could only hold her breath.

She had left that hellhole, and now that the emperor was backing her, what was there that she could not do!

Empress Wei immediately had someone bring her paper and brush, You Bai served these to Fang Hanjun, the latter then wrote a letter of divorce right there and then.

After she finished writing, You Bai presented the divorce letter to Empress Wei for review.

Qin Jiu’s eyes darted around before she added, “Hanjun, do you want to separate yourself from your father?”

Fang Hanjun: “…”

“Since you want to repudiate your husband, why don’t you just repudiate them both at once, a daughter repudiating her father on her mother’s behalf. ”

Fang Hanjun: “!!!”

Fang Hanjun’s cherry lips pursed slightly, her throat tightened, unable to speak for a moment, even her hands could not help but tremble.

When she was talking about her own affairs just now, she was calm and resolute, with sharp and decisive attitude like a sharp knife cutting through the mess. However, at this moment, when it comes to her late mother, she could not control her emotions and her chest rose and fell violently, even her eyes began to turn red.

Qin Jiu continued, “In the future, Hanjun can be recorded under the name of the Eldest Princess Yongle, following the eldest princess’s surname, Gu. From now on, you will have no relationship with the Fang family.” Nor does she need to be subjected to the Fang family’s jurisdiction anymore.

In other words, if the Fang family were to suffer a crime that would spread throughout their entire generation in the future, it would not implicate Fang Hanjun. The emperor did not have to worry about Fang Hanjun and lightly spared the entire Fang family.

“That’s right!” Empress Wei’s eyes also grew brighter and brighter with Qin Jiu’s every sentence, she could be sure that the Emperor would also support this proposal of Qin Jiu.
