"His father-in-law, if he were a little more sober, wouldn't care about what happened today. As long as Chen Shaohuo divorced his wife, he could still be the son-in-law who rides the dragon fast to the Lin family."

"After passing the imperial examinations, he would start as a county magistrate with his jinshi status. With some help from the Lin family, he could possibly secure a position in the Hanlin Academy as a compiler for a few years. This would give him more experience and make it easier to advance."

Li Chen's words made Su Jinpa feel indignant. She angrily said, "His wife worked so hard to raise him, but in return she got a divorce letter You men are really heartless."

These can all be compensated for later.

Li Chen said calmly, "Not to mention that I am not him. People are different."

Glancing at Su Jinping, Li Chen said in a warm voice, "In fact, this is the life most people face."

"Love is nothing more than a beautiful fantasy of unmarried girls."

"What you face in life isn't trivial matters."

"Once you reach a certain level of status and power, you can indeed escape these constraints, for example, you, for example, me."

But I will face even more unavoidable situations, such as our marriage.

"Chen Shaohuo still has a choice, you and I don't."

Su Jinpa irritably said, "Why do I feel like you're trying to teach me indirectly"

Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "You're so intelligent, things you've already figured out don't need my instruction. As for things you haven't figured out, would my instruction be helpful"

"Pursing her lips, Su Jinpa said, 'This Chen Shaohuo is so morally corrupt and selfish. It's obvious from his nature that he wouldn't make a good official even if he were to enter the government.'"

"Do you mean to tell me I shouldn't use him Strip him of his fame" Li Chen asked.

Su Jinpa let out a soft hum. "Shouldn't it be"

Shaking his head, Li Chen said: "Perhaps in the future, I will consider a person's character and morality when employing them, but now, as long as they are capable and can be used by me, I will use them."

As for his abilities, you'll get a sense of them by how he handles this situation.

At this point, Li Chen, who had already walked quite far, waved his hand. Immediately, a Jinyiwei appeared beside Li Chen.

This Jinyiwei bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Chen Shaohuo has left with his wife."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Su Jinpa's face lit up, "He still has a chance."

"How do you know he's not going back to his wife"

Li Chen's question angered Su Jinpa.

"Go find a yard to rest in for the day."

After seeing off the Jinyiwei, it was already evening. Li Chen took Su Jinpa into a restaurant for dinner.

In the restaurant, some diners were still discussing what had just happened.

Every word was a barb aimed at Chen Shaohao and a mockery of the Lin family.

I found a quieter spot and ordered a few small dishes at random. As I was waiting for the food to arrive, Li Chen suddenly heard a conversation that sounded different from the rest.

"Hey, have you heard The imperial court achieved a great victory in the campaign against the Xian dynasty. In a few days, they will be returning to the capital. And the main commander from the Eastern Isles is almost at the city gates. What do you think the court will do with him this time"

Li Chen and Su Jinpa looked at each other, both fell silent, and listened quietly to the people's opinions on this matter.

After someone uttered this, another person immediately chimed in and said: "The imperial court has suffered so many defeats over the years, and now that they've finally won one, they will definitely publicize it widely. But defeating just one Eastern Kingdom is meaningless. If you really have the ability, defeat the Xiongnu and Hu people, as well as the Liao and Jin dynasties, then that would be truly impressive."
