Chapter 740: Divorce
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Xuanjing had never been a person who was afraid of trouble. Compared to last year’s corruption case, this case was nothing to those ministers because it was not a threat to their interests.
If the people had complaints, it was because they were wrong.
If the customs of the people were wrong, they had to change.
Zhao Xuanjing had a casual expression and did not care about the opinions of these outsiders. Xie Pinggang was even more impressed.
He was also looking forward to the day when the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne in the future.
Ever since he knew the Crown Prince, he had never seen him have any personal emotions. He was like a natural king, born to work hard for the country.
Every decision he made was like a cold spring under the ice. It was clean and cold, and the coolness was close to one’s heart.
Xie Pinggang immediately brought people out.
First, he had the female official from the administrative office go to the Bao Residence.
Ms. Du’s face was still injured. As her husband had been taken away, her mother-in-law had been crying the whole night. Therefore, she was not in good spirits and looked very haggard.
The two children were young, but they could also feel that the atmosphere in the house was not right. They were so quiet that they were like kittens that had been frozen and did not dare to speak.
Especially when she saw the official coming over, Ms. Du was even more afraid.
“Ms. Du, we came over to ask you if you have any ideas on what you want to do. If you want a divorce, I will speak up for you later and help you get the doc.u.ments done. Don’t worry. As your mother-in-law Ms. Bao Liu and your husband Bao Lunsheng are both guilty, you will have to take care of the children yourself.” The female official had also received the news in advance. At this moment, she said according to the arrangements.
Ms. Du was a little surprised. “I’ll take them? Can I take them away?”
“You’re the mother of the child. Of course you can,” the female official said with a smile.

The mother-in-law, Ms. Bao Liu, had not yet been arrested. When she heard that, she bared her teeth and brandished her claws. “Pfft! You heartless harlot. You have a lover out there and you still want to take my grandson away. Dream on!”
Ms. Du buried her head.
The official from the administrative office directly tied Ms. Bao Liu up. “You have a lawsuit on you. The lowest sentence is one and a half years in prison. If you don’t want your grandson to go with your daughter-in-law, do you want him to stay at home at such a young age and die?!”
“What lawsuit?! I didn’t kill anyone! Back then, Ms. w.a.n.g couldn’t give birth and died in childbirth!” Ms. Liu hurriedly shouted.
In her heart, she did not treat the baby as human at all.
Even though she had a nightmare last night, the thoughts in her heart still remained the same.
Ms. w.a.n.g was indeed alive when she had her abdomen cut open, but it was the same for all women in childbirth. They had to go through the Gates of h.e.l.l. If it was a difficult childbirth, they could only choose to save the mother or the child, right?!
At that time, in that kind of situation, even if she did not save the child, Ms. w.a.n.g still had to die. It was not her fault!
“Ms. Bao Liu, if we get to the bottom of the crime of Ms. w.a.n.g being cut open, I’m afraid your head will be chopped off.” The administrative office member sneered, “You conspired with the midwife and your son to kill your two granddaughters, didn’t you?”
As she spoke, she tied her up to prevent her from escaping.
Seeing this scene, how could Ms. Du not realize what was happening?
She immediately nodded and wanted to leave.
The administrative office had already prepared the doc.u.ments, and Bao Lunsheng’s signature was on them.
Ms. Du was illiterate, so the female official read it to her word by word. After listening to it, she was very shocked.
In addition to the divorce doc.u.ment, there was also a doc.u.ment to divide the property. The officials said that because she had a pair of children, it would be difficult to raise them, so they gave her 20 acres of land and 20 taels of silver to provide for the three of them!
As for the Bao family’s land, it was only 40 acres in total.. She thought that she would just pack up her things and leave. She did not expect to be able to obtain the property!
