The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1891: Chapter 1891: Not Chen Bing’s Children

Qi Lie paused abruptly after his words, and Chen Bing, who had felt as though the sky was falling upon hearing about a two-year prison sentence, was startled by his last two words, sensing something ominous.

In the next moment, he heard Qi Lie say, ”However, in this Chenggu County upheaval, numerous rebellious rebels are involved. Constable Li is also one of the rebels; your collusion with the rebels makes it difficult for people not to suspect you of having ulterior motives...”

”Lord.” Before Qi Lie could finish speaking, a sudden exclamation from outside interrupted him.

He squinted, ”Who dares to disrupt the order of the court?”

”No, my Lord, this commoner and my sister have something to say.”

The crowd parted, and everyone looked back, only to find that it was Eldest Pan who had spoken.

At this moment, Eldest Pan was drenched in sweat. He sensed disaster the moment he heard that Constable Li was a rebel. Chen Bing’s association with the rebels would not end simply with financial ruin avoiding disaster.

Recently, the city was in a state of panic; even though Eldest Pan didn’t understand much about politics, he had heard that many had been arrested, all somehow linked to rebellious plots.

He never imagined that events once so distant would one day fall upon his own head.

Dealing with rebels, Chen Bing was truly acting recklessly.

Chen Bing courting death was one thing, but implicating the Pan Family would be disastrous.

Eldest Pan didn’t care about interrupting the court’s judgment; he just wanted to sever ties with Chen Bing as quickly as possible.

Therefore, he dragged the already terrified Ms. Pan inside, knelt down, and said, ”My Lord, please discern the truth. My sister knew nothing of Chen Bing’s actions. It was only upon hearing this that she realized the kind of sinister person she had married. Our Pan Family was completely deceived by Chen Bing. Such a person, our Pan Family could never dare associate with again, and my sister does not wish to remain his wife. Please, my Lord, permit my sister to divorce Chen Bing.”

Shu Yu watched on, finding it amusing how quickly the Pan Family sought to avoid harm.

Qi Lie, appearing intrigued, looked at Chen Bing’s incredulous face and asked Ms. Pan, ”Is this your wish, or your brother’s?”

Eldest Pan gave Ms. Pan a push, bringing her back to reality with a start. She didn’t dare meet Chen Bing’s gaze but echoed her brother’s words, ”Yes, the woman seeks a divorce. The woman was unaware of his previous cruelty towards Sister Fang, and after learning this, she felt a chilling fear. If he could treat Sister Fang so, what might he do to this woman in the future? She truly wishes not to continue with him.”

Qi Lie, with a half-smile, looked at the tearful and enraged Chen Bing, and said to Ms. Pan, ”Regarding divorce, as long as both parties agree, I have no objections. However, you have two children, and this matter...”

”I agree to my parents’ divorce. I am still young; I will go with my mother,” Chen Qiu was the first to speak. She was quick-witted among them. Qi Lie’s remarks made her realize that her father was already implicated in the grave crime of treason. Such a great crime would certainly implicate her as his daughter. She didn’t want execution; she didn’t want to die.

Chen Bing, in disbelief, yelled in anger, ”You ungrateful girl, fine, fine! From now on, you’re not a daughter of the Chen Family; our Chen Family only has your brother as a son.”

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Chen He also came in from outside, suddenly kneeling down, ”My Lord, I have no connection to the Chen Family; we’re not Chen Bing’s children.” Therefore, Chen Bing’s crimes have nothing to do with him.
