He curled his lips and glanced at Su Yingxue as if mocking her.

She had thought it would be easy to persuade Liang Jin to close the case and remove Su Han from the imperial clan, but it wasn’t that simple!

“I have brought the registry of the imperial clan,” Chu Yihan said.

Clad in a flowing black robe, Chu Yihan appeared before everyone, prompting them all to kneel and bow in respect.

Chu Xiaotian glared at the registry in Chu Yihan’s hand, his eyes bloodshot. “Even if the imperial uncle has the registry, so what! You don’t have the sole authority over the entire imperial clan! You… You can’t act unilaterally!”

“Is that so?” Chu Yihan’s tone rose as he summoned a servant. He informed Chu Xiaotian, “This matter has been approved by the emperor and stamped by Prince Xi, who oversees the clan. Once Lord Liang concludes this case, Su Han can be removed from the imperial clan.”

“What… What did you say?” Chu Xiaotian staggered back. “How could this… happen so fast?”

He had thought he had more time to plan, to keep Su Han by his side, even if only for a month, a day!

Why… was this happening so quickly?

Taking the letter from Prince Xi, Chu Xiaotian saw the seal and realized it was authentic.

!!..

He couldn’t keep Su Han anymore…

Reading the letter, Chu Chengye considered Chu Yihan’s influence over the imperial clan and his ability to secure Prince Xi’s seal in such a short time… Just how powerful was he?

Chu Chengye felt choked up. He decided then and there not to interfere in Chu Xiaotian’s affairs!

After suffering multiple losses, he wouldn’t dare oppose Chu Yihan rashly again!

“Lord Liang, once this case is closed, 1 will see to it that Su Han is removed,” Chu Yihan declared, turning to Liang Jin, who respectfully nodded in response. “For now, we await the signature of the Prince of Yong’an County on the divorce decree.”

Holding the clan registry, Chu Yihan exuded an air of superiority as he commanded, “Sign and stamp.”

“I don’t…” Chu Xiaotian’s eyes reddened. He couldn’t protect his mother and sister anymore. He couldn’t let go of his wife, his Han’er!

“Your Highness, Han’er has something to show you.”

As everyone pressured Chu Xiaotian to sign the divorce decree, Su Han approached him with graceful steps.

Her attire today was reminiscent of her pre-marriage days, it was fresh, beautiful, as delicate as a lotus.

Chu Xiaotian’s oppressive feelings vanished completely after her words. She still cared for him!

He was sure of it!

Su Han held a brocade box, seemingly ordinary but emitting a cold aura.

As Chu Xiaotian opened it, his eyes widened, and he stepped back. “What is… this?”

Amidst a pile of ice cubes lay a piece of meat!

The meat’s shape was peculiar, a small ball resembling a gourd but with bite marks and dark wounds, unsettling to behold.

Chu Xiaotian didn’t understand why Su Han showed him this.

Su Yingxue understood.

Though she had intended to bury it, Su Han insisted otherwise, preserving it in the ice room.

Su Yingxue hadn’t expected her to keep it until now.

Su Han gently caressed the meatbail, her eyes reflecting maternal love. “Your Highness, this is our child. It was in my womb for less than two months when I fell into the water. Those worms grew inside me and killed the child..”
