"Qin Yurou has someone backing her up, we can't arrest her right now."
"Why?" Shen Hao didn't understand.
Tang Qingyuan explained, "Qin Yurou went to the Imperial City Government Office on the tenth of October to file for divorce. Which means she severed ties with the Wen Family before their arrest."
"What?!" Shen Hao was a little shocked. He'd kept track of Qin Yurou's whereabouts, had people following her even, but in the Imperial City, all they could do was watch; as for what business she had at the Government Office, he really hadn't known. So he hadn't heard about this before.
According to the Jingjiu Dynasty's marriage laws, as long as a couple—man or woman—had registered at the Government Office, they could divorce at any time. Of course, concubines didn't have that right. So this kind of divorce was pretty common, especially among the nobles.
