Chapter 113 You will regret it
On the way to the dungeon, Song Shiwei asked, "Shen Linchuan has been locked up for some time. Is he still behaving well?"
Han Qingyan frowned and said, "Be content, but the way I'm content is a little unusual.
When Zhao Huaijin was first imprisoned, he kept shouting and protesting his injustice, and would lose his temper from time to time.
But Shen Linchuan was very quiet, not making any noise, and he didn't seem to be worried about dying at all."
Song Shiwei felt that Shen Linchuan's reaction was indeed a bit strange.
Based on her understanding of Shen Linchuan, he is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Although colluding with Zhao Huaijin to cheat in the imperial examination was not a capital crime, his official career would be over, and this was what Shen Linchuan cared about most.
Either he is extremely sad, or there is some other way out.
While they were thinking, they came to the dungeon where Shen Linchuan was imprisoned.
Song Shiwei stood in front of the prison door and looked at Shen Linchuan sitting on the ground.
His hair was a little messy and his body was dirty. He sat there curled up like a beggar.
This kind of Shen Linchuan is completely different from the high-spirited and radiant top scholar in his previous life.
And she finally sent him to hell with her own hands.
Shen Linchuan raised his head and looked at Song Shiwei who was standing outside the door.
When he first saw her dressed like this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked: "Madam, why are you dressed like this?"
He stood up, staggered over and asked, "Are you here to rescue me?"
Song Shiwei sneered: "Don't call me wife, I feel disgusted."
Shen Linchuan's expression changed. He held the bars of the prison door and said, "My wife, please listen to my explanation. Zhao Huaijin was plotting against me."
"enough."
Song Shiwei interrupted him and said, "Now that things have come to this, don't make excuses anymore.
You know the truth of the matter very well. I came here today to give you the imperial edict."
She took out the bright yellow scroll, unfolded it and said, "Shen Linchuan, kneel down and accept my order."
Shen Linchuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt on the ground.
Song Shiwei read out the contents of the imperial edict: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Qingzhou student Shen Linchuan colluded with the son of the Minister of Rites to cheat in the imperial examination, which is a violation of moral conduct.
He conspired with his brother to use someone else's body as a substitute on their wedding night, and allowed his mother and sister to bully his wife. His behavior was improper and his morals were corrupt. He is unworthy of being a scholar, and I detest him deeply.
Song was specially granted the right to divorce her husband and the engagement was annulled. This was announced to the world to serve as a warning to the world.
Shen Linchuan's status as a juren is revoked, and he is forbidden from entering the government for life, and his descendants are forbidden from taking the imperial examinations for generations. This is my decree!"
She closed the imperial edict and said to the pale-faced Shen Linchuan who was kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Shen, accept the edict!"
Shen Linchuan suddenly raised his head, looked at Song Shiwei with horror and said, "This... this is impossible.
How could His Majesty issue such an imperial decree for you? I don't believe it."
Song Shiwei raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you think my clothes look familiar?
You have always dreamed of becoming the top student in high school, and now I have made your wish come true.
How about it? Isn't my top scholar uniform very impressive? "
Shen Linchuan's eyes widened, and he realized that Song Shiwei was wearing the top scholar's uniform.
But how come she is wearing this top scholar uniform?
Han Qingyan explained to him, "You probably don't know since you're in prison.
Miss Song won the first place in the women's examination. His Majesty appreciated her talent and ordered her to take part in the palace examination.
Miss Song amazed the audience with her policy essay in the palace examination, and His Majesty made an exception and appointed her as the new top scholar this year.
Song Zhuangyuan just returned from the parade, and he has come to give you this imperial edict."
He clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and said, "You really don't know how lucky you are.
He married such a talented wife but he didn't know how to cherish her and even looked down on her in every way.
Instead, he hooked up with that idiot Song Mingzhu. It was really stupid.
The top scholar Song pleaded on behalf of women all over the world in the hall and was appreciated by Your Majesty. From now on, women in Nanli will have the right to divorce their husbands.
Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you are the first man in Nanli to be divorced. You will definitely go down in history and be passed down to future generations."
Shen Linchuan was really shocked when he heard what Han Qingyan said.
Song Shiwei was actually designated by His Majesty as the new top scholar, and she was given the right to divorce her husband, and even the ancestral rules were rewritten for her?
How is this possible? She is just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. How could she have such ability?
He looked at Song Shiwei, thinking of everything that had happened since she married into the Shen family, and suddenly shuddered and said, "Have you been planning how to divorce me from the beginning?"
Song Shiwei snorted coldly: "Didn't you start plotting against me since our wedding night?
Do you think I will believe it if you put all the blame on Shen Linzhou?
You brothers are in collusion with each other, trying to bully and humiliate me. Just because I grew up in the countryside and am not favored by Cheng Enbo, do I deserve to be teased and played with by you brothers?"
Shen Linchuan was surprised. He thought that what happened on the wedding night had been resolved.
It turned out that she knew from the beginning that it was a conspiracy between the brothers.
And she has been enduring it all the time, not only that, but she also confused him, leading him step by step to where he is today, ending up like this.
He underestimated Song Shiwei, thinking that she was just an ignorant, unloved country girl.
But I didn't expect that she was so resourceful and strategic.
Shen Linchuan gritted his teeth and said, "You can't blame me, you can only blame your father.
You were not the one I originally wanted to marry, but it was Lord Cheng En who insisted on marrying you to me."
"Why, if you marry Song Mingzhu you can become a man?"
Song Shiwei chuckled and said, "You are obviously talented, but you have fallen into depravity and become Zhao Huaijin's plaything.
You obviously have a bright future, but you are unwilling to work hard and just want to soar to the sky.
You ruined your own life, don't blame others.
If you don't want to marry me, you can just tell me the truth and we can be a fake couple.
But you set up a vicious plan and wanted Shen Linzhou to destroy my innocence."
She looked at Shen Linchuan with cold eyes: "Although I, Song Shiwei, am a woman, I will not allow others to trample on me at will. Everything that happened today is your own fault."
Song Shiwei snorted, stretched out her hand and handed the imperial edict to Shen Linchuan, saying: "Accept it. If you don't accept it, you will be disobeying the order."
Shen Linchuan clenched his hands and looked at the imperial edict handed over by Song Shiwei.
Disobeying the order will only lead to death, he is not that stupid.
He reached out and took the imperial edict, with intense hatred in his eyes.
Song Shiwei glanced at him and said, "From now on, you and I will part ways and have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Shen, please respect yourself."
After leaving these words, she turned and left.
Shen Linchuan suddenly called her: "Song Shiwei."
He slowly raised his head and looked at Song Shiwei, raised his lips with a strange smile and said: "You will regret it."
Song Shiwei narrowed her eyes. She ignored Shen Linchuan and walked out of the dungeon, but she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
I don't know why Shen Linchuan said that. Could he still turn things around?
