Two days later.
The court sent a new proclamation.
The Yuzhou Governor was replaced by the Fan Family's second young master, who was also Fan Xinhui's younger half-brother.
Ke Yong was dismissed from office and exiled to the borderlands according to his crimes; everyone in Peng City cheered.
Along with this proclamation came an imperial decree from the Emperor.
Upon hearing that Ke Yong and Fan Xinhui had confronted each other in open court, the Emperor decided that Ke Yong was not worthy of Fan Xinhui, and thus granted them a divorce.
Therefore, none of Ke Yong's crimes implicated Fan Xinhui in the least.
A day of misty rain, hazy as smoke.
Bai Zhi'er and Feng Fuce stood at the ferry, preparing to take a boat back to the Capital.
Fan Xinhui, dressed in simple plain clothes, had come to see them off.
"Thank you, Princess." Fan Xinhui said, "You clearly knew the child truly wasn't Ke Yong's, yet you still kept the secret for me."
