Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 266 - 258: "Cheng’er, Is It Really You?

"Sister, you must seek justice for me! Sister..."

In the original book, the Commandery Princess’s sister died a wrongful death because of Chen Bozong, but due to the sister being born of a concubine, Prince Shuo never acknowledged her identity. She was raised beside the Commandery Princess with the status of a servant.

The sisters grew up together, deeply bonded. In the original book, it was because of the tragic death of her sister that the Fifth Princess staged a supernatural act, found a scapegoat, and made the Commandery Princess mistakenly believe that the person she caught was the true culprit who killed her sister. Thus, the Fifth Princess made her one of her own.

In this life, the Fifth Princess is far away in the Capital City. With this opportunity, Ruan Mian might as well seize it, making Princess Jiaceng the knife in her hand.

The matter of her sister was never revealed by the Prince Mansion, not even how her sister was humiliated to death and the nature of her wounds. She managed to match them perfectly.

For the past two years, the Commandery Princess had not found the assailant. Now, upon hearing this, her whole body turned cold. She looked at Ruan Mian in disbelief, hurriedly pulling her close.

"Cheng’er, is it really you?"

"It is I, your blind and heartless sister, who failed to see that the very person lying beside me was the true murderer who killed you all these years!! Everything is my fault."

"Cheng’er, can you come back? Come back to your sister’s side, will you?"

She grasped Ruan Mian’s hand emotionally, the guilt and yearning for her sister over the years became tangible at this moment.

"Cheng’er, it’s all my fault, I made you suffer. I’m sorry, I’m sorry... Promise your sister you’ll come back, will you? I will definitely seek justice for you, I will..."

But before she finished speaking, Ruan Mian suddenly collapsed to the ground, startling Nanny Li and the others!

The Commandery Princess immediately struggled to help her up.

And the next moment, Ruan Mian slowly opened her eyes, her expression gradually returning to normal.

She held her forehead, looking somewhat unwell, and only after staggering to her feet did she meet the Commandery Princess’s panicked and worried gaze.

"Madam."

This one word made the Commandery Princess collapse onto the bed, tears welling in her eyes: "Cheng’er... my Cheng’er..."

Ruan Mian hadn’t expected that the Commandery Princess, who had no compassion for others, held this sister close to her heart.

But what use is it? In this world, there are always causes and effects. The person has passed; saying more is to no avail.

Ruan Mian bowed and said calmly, "Madam, if you wish to dissolve the grievances of the spirit and unlock the illness of the heart, only self-redemption can transcend the spirit."

Princess Jiaceng, with tearful eyes, muttered to herself, "Self-redemption... self-redemption..."

Ruan Mian wrote some so-called "talisman paper" and handed it to Nanny Li.

"Nanny, the madam’s condition is not only caused by the mind but also by the restless spirit. In the coming days, according to my instructions, mix talismanic water with her medicine and have her take it daily, she will recover."

At this moment, Nanny Li stared blankly at Ruan Mian, also frightened by her foresight.

The matter of the Commandery Princess’s sister was a secret locked down by the entire Prince Mansion.

This Miss Ruan was just an obscure exiled prisoner. If not for that extraordinary foresight, how could she know so much?

Ruan Mian’s highly refined acting skill was something even she admired.

Using the Commandery Princess’s belief in the supernatural as a handle, she wielded the knife, waiting to see how the next act would play out.

Before leaving the mansion, she touched the Jade Bracelet and summoned a few little butterflies.

As they fluttered and scattered within the Governor Mansion, the Commandery Princess gradually regained her composure.

The next day.

She arrived at Chen Bozong’s study.

Chen Bozong’s eyes darkened, and he unhesitatingly ordered the servant to throw her out.

However, the Commandery Princess slapped the servant aside, standing expressionlessly before Chen Bozong, questioning him.

"Was it you who humiliated Cheng’er to death?"

Her sudden inquiry caused Chen Bozong’s brush to violently tremble, and he looked up in disbelief: "What nonsense are you spouting!! Are you mad?!"

The Commandery Princess stared intently at him, noting his evasive gaze, all of which reflected in her eyes.

She suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Answer me, Chen Bozong! I want to hear the truth from you."

Chen Bozong, furious and ashamed, snapped his brush in anger and slammed it on the study table: "You jealous woman, do you think I won’t divorce you at once?!"

"Since we married, I have tolerated you in every way, where have I treated you poorly? Yet you! You rely on the Prince Mansion’s influence, not giving regard to me as your husband, even dispersing my concubine, I could endure that, but now you won’t even spare the offspring of my Chen Family!"

"Now that the problem is exposed, I intend to divorce you, but you come to splash dirty water on me, trying to turn the tables?"

"Fine, Princess Jiaceng, is this the rule of the Prince Mansion, the demeanor of a high-born noblewoman?!"

His eyes bloodshot as he continuously accused, the Commandery Princess knew him well. His rage stemmed from her probing into the secret he tried to bury deep down.

The truth, just as Miss Ruan foretold!

Yesterday, it was indeed Cheng’er who took over Miss Ruan’s body, crying out for justice!!

Thinking of this, the Commandery Princess could no longer suppress her emotions. She grabbed a candlestick with one hand and fiercely swung it toward his face.

The sharp edge left a quick slash across Chen Bozong’s face, blood spilling, drenching his palm...

"Chen Bozong, you scoundrel! Cheng’er is my sister! How could you be so cruel?!!"

"If not for me giving you the position of Marquis, you wouldn’t even be able to set foot inside the gates of the Capital City!!"

"Because of the offspring of a Dancing Girl, you dare to speak to me so boldly, do you realize! My child, also perished because of that Dancing Girl’s poison!!"

Chen Bozong was slightly startled, but then sneered again, viciously grabbing her wrist, and without hesitation, slapped her backhand!

Princess Jiaceng was immediately knocked to the ground!

"Your child? I think you utter such nonsense because you’re completely insane. Do you think you’re still in Prince Shuo’s territory? This is Wuheng! My domain!"

The guise of a gentleman he maintained for days finally completely collapsed at this moment.

He grabbed the Commandery Princess and drew her closer with one swift motion, viciously throwing a punch.

The Commandery Princess was harshly struck against the pillar, her forehead bleeding.

Outside the room, Nanny Li, terrified, hurried in: "Marquis! Marquis, please stop! This is..."

But before she could finish, Chen Bozong grabbed Nanny Li’s hair bun and kicked her out of the room.

As he closed the door, the Commandery Princess’s painful cries instantly echoed inside.

She wrestled with Chen Bozong as much as she could, but her feminine strength was no match for Chen Bozong’s full force.

With his relentless verbal abuses, the Commandery Princess’s voice grew fainter and weaker.

The little butterflies, fluttering their wings, flew out of the mansion... Ruan Mian watched the butterflies circling above her head, knowing something had happened at the Governor Mansion.

She glanced at Xie Huai’an, and with a mutual understanding, they quickly made their way there.
