Senior Servant Qiao had taken all the blame onto herself through her confession and she had painted a very pitiful picture.

However, He Changdi and He Changqi remained unmoved. If this had happened in the past before the relationship between Dalang and his wife had become strained, then perhaps Senior Servant Qiao would have gotten some understanding and sympathy from He Changqi. However, after experiencing major disappointment from the last incident, he no longer believed in Madam Zou.

If Madam Zou could treat their very own daughters that way, then there was no limit to what she wouldn’t do!

It was even less likely for He Changdi to believe in Senior Servant Qiao’s words.

The one who had been framed earlier was his wife! If they could take pity on Madam Zou right now, then why hadn’t anyone taken pity on his wife earlier?!

There was still a pool of rage seething in his belly that he hadn’t been able to vent. Senior Servant Qiao and the others were standing in the line of a volcano!

He Changqi kicked Senior Servant Qiao away. He had a strong and burly figure, tanned skin and a square jaw, so he looked even more frightening when he kept a grim expression on his face.

“Tell that Madam Zou to come out. Don’t make me go in myself to get her!”

He Changqi’s voice was piercingly cold.

Senior Servant Qiao understood that there was absolutely no way to save this situation now.

She laid prone on the floor for a long while before stumbling into the inner room.

Two hours later, in the study of the main branch’s courtyard.

The brothers, He Changdi and He Changqi, sat across from each other.

They each had extremely terrible expressions on their face.

He Changdi turned to look at his eldest brother, who was resting his eyes, “Eldest Brother, what are you planning to do?”

He Changqi’s eyes slowly slid open. He let out a mocking bark of laughter, “I thought that we would be able to spend a lifetime together. I never thought that we would end up like this. Third Brother, I’ve already decided. We’re getting a divorce! It’s better for everyone involved.”

The current dynasty was more open-minded, so while there weren’t many divorced couples, they did exist. Moreover, there were many who remarried after a divorce.

In actual fact, for cases like He Changqi’s, the husband could choose to forcefully divorce his wife. However, he didn’t want to do that. A mutual divorce and a one-sided divorce initiated by the husband had two completely different outcomes.

After a mutual divorce, the woman could remarry. However, a woman forcefully divorced by her husband would essentially become a social pariah. There were only two choices for wives who were kicked out from noble houses: become a nun or commit suicide.

In the end, He Changqi had still thought of their many years together as spouses and he had given her some leeway.

Actually, the main reason He Changqi wanted to divorce Madam Zou was due to her abuse of their children.
