Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 451 - 353: End of the Story

The Fifth Princess was shocked!

"What?!"

How could they... how could they have such ability? Was it planned from the very beginning?

Her face changed dramatically as she immediately shouted angrily at Li Ren.

"What are you doing? The reinforcements have become accomplices, and tonight, everyone will die here!"

Li Ren had not yet recovered from the fact that he was being used. He looked dazedly at the city, full of bloodshed, only feeling all the blood in his body rushing in reverse.

Is this what he wanted?

No, he clearly wanted everyone to live well, to escape these days of suffering.

But now he had become the executioner, an accomplice!!

As he struggled to bear the weight in his heart, the Fifth Princess knew she had only one path left.

She activated all the Jingwei behind her, planning to take the Emperor’s head at all costs.

She raised her sword and rushed toward the sleeping quarters. Two groups of soldiers intertwined, and the river of history seemed to surge at that moment.

Ruan Mian’s emotions surged, unable to look at those who were dying in vain.

How innocent they were!!

Amidst the shadows of swords and swords, blood spattered everywhere. Tonight, the Imperial Palace seemed to become a living purgatory.

She clung to the White Tiger’s neck. Suddenly, the White Tiger, like a feathered arrow, charged directly at the Princess with lightning speed!

Ruan Mian held a sharp blade and slashed the Princess’s throat.

The person did not have time to react, and the body had already fallen from the horse.

"Fate is unfair to you, but that is not a reason to take revenge on the innocent."

The countless wronged souls who died at her hands, what difference did they have from the time she was forced to another country?

The Fifth Princess’s eyes were fixed on her, full of bitterness and resentment.

Before dying, she even mocked: "Ruan... Mian, do you think that your husband was with me every day during the three years of your widowhood, he was every day..."

Ruan Mian looked coldly: "Are you talking about Qi Nanfeng?"

"Is it so good to spend three years with such a villain? Princess, you have hatred in your heart, but why not look further? Do you think it is the subjects who wronged you? Then why not win them over and earn their respect through your own efforts? Make everyone in the world refrain from bullying you? If you want revenge, kill those who sent you into the fire pit at the beginning, not the innocent ones."

"Do you think I care about those three years of widowhood?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I am glad to have seen less of Qi Nanfeng for three years, and I have to thank you for fulfilling those three years of marriage for me, allowing me to find such a good husband as Mr. Xie."

Upon hearing these words, the Fifth Princess choked and fell back, dying with eyes open in resentment.

The reinforcements turned against them, and Xie Huai’an arrived with more Jingwei, and the rebels including Li Ren were taken down at once.

The sleepless night in the Capital City was lit up by firelight.

Until dawn the next day.

Ruan Mian awoke from Xie Huai’an’s embrace.

At that time, he had already taken her in a spacious carriage.

Looking at the staggering view outside the window, Ruan Mian exclaimed, "Did we leave the palace?"

Xie Huai’an tightened his grip, fearing she would leave him again.

"Yes, we’ve left the palace."

After the Princess’s death last night, the rebels were all captured. Xie Huai’an settled her in a room in the palace to rest, while he went to report to the Emperor.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Ruan Mian unknowingly fell asleep.

She didn’t even know when she got onto the carriage or left the palace.

She felt a little dizzy and heavy-headed.

Frowning, Xie Huai’an proactively explained, "Last night, in the tea you drank, I added something to make you sleep until now."

"Mianmian, I just didn’t want you to suffer. Please rest assured; I’ve taken care of the rebel matters. Now I’ll accompany you back to Wuheng to live our own life."

Ruan Mian looked at him in shock: "You knocked me out last night and then handled everything?"

"Yes, I promised you that once the matters in the Capital City are resolved, I’d return to Wuheng to be with you."

"From now on, I am no longer Xie Huai’an of the court, but merely your husband, a commoner in Wuheng."

"You won’t mind if I’m not well-off, will you?"

Ruan Mian was amused by his words; she hadn’t expected the rebel issues to be resolved so quickly.

"It doesn’t matter if you’re not well-off, since I am and can make sure you live well."

"But Ah Huai, are the rebel issues truly all resolved?"

"Yes, thanks to our long-term planning. Do you remember when you helped me fake my death to enter the Capital City? I had already gathered a lot of evidence. When I arrived in the Capital City, the Holy Emperor secretly assigned many Jingwei to investigate, gradually dismantling many of King Yan’s secret factions."

"Though we were far apart, you never forgot to communicate with me, and with the help of Wen Yuan, Qin Fu, and others’ actions, you helped me gather evidence, which gave the Emperor and me enough confidence, just waiting for the east wind."

So, the sudden military uprising yesterday was the east wind.

It set the accumulated evidence alight, casting it into the eyes of everyone in the court with the east wind.

This is how the military uprising ended in such a short time.

"What about King Yan?"

"Although the Prince resided far from the Capital City, the Emperor had already sent someone to the fief. As soon as the east wind rose, the Imperial Decree was issued, and now, the execution has been completed."

An unprecedented emotion welled up in Ruan Mian’s heart, as if the breath that had been caught in her throat was finally released.

Perhaps this is the end of this story.

Evil received its due, those who deserved to die and those who did not all have their own destinies, residing in the river of history.

Including her, as well.

But Ruan Mian didn’t think too much about it.

Ah Huai returned to her side, and they could live intimately in Wuheng, without disturbances from evil people, giving them more space to build Wuheng City better.

They also had the ability to protect every one of their family members, so they could all live well for a lifetime.

This was enough.

Ruan Mian embraced him back, nestling in his arms, and the longing she had kept hidden in her heart flooded out at that moment.

She hadn’t felt it before, but now, thinking about it carefully, she found she had unknowingly regarded Ah Huai as the most important person, someone inseparable from her family.

"Ah Huai, are you really deciding to return to Wuheng with me, just to be a simple commoner?"

Xie Huai’an smiled slightly, his gaze resolute: "That’s right, as long as you’re by my side, I could be a commoner, even a beggar. However, I will never let you live like a beggar, I will certainly protect you, for you are the most important person to me."

Only heaven knew how Xie Huai’an managed during those days apart from her.

Now, finally, they could be together, never to part again.

And outside the carriage, Yun Xiu smiled with relief while on horseback.

The gentleman has returned, and it’s wonderful.

To be family with them and spend the rest of the life in Wuheng is truly wonderful.

To live a happy and stable life for the remaining years is the best.
