Chapter 40 Divorce
Mrs. Fu came back after dark.
His face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and the pearls and fine clothes on his body could not conceal his fatigue and uneasiness.
Taoist Lingxu's lies were exposed, and the vicious curse he had placed on Xue Liu as the "seven evil stars" was all reflected back on her. Everyone in the Xue Mansion looked away and felt uneasy when they saw her.
There are scandals in the back house of any wealthy family, but it is rare for someone like Mrs. Fu to rack her brains to harm a concubine and put money on her own face...
Privately, even the most cunning girls and women said that the eldest lady was vicious.
When Mrs. Qian got the news, the white gauze wrapped around her head had not yet been removed, so she made a special trip to Mrs. Fu and insulted her with a sour tone and a smile.
"Hey, sister-in-law is back? Did Lingxu's tricks bring you back?"
"The mother of eight lucky stars has returned home. Could it be that auspiciousness has descended from heaven today?"
Mrs. Fu glared at her with deep eyes.
For a businesswoman to dare to speak to her like this is really contrary to Tiangang.
She didn't say anything back and walked over coldly, pretending she didn't see him.
Mrs. Qian sneered behind her, "You're just pretending, what kind of pure daughter of a noble family is she? She's no different from the vicious prostitute in that family..."
Fu's back was stiff, and she wanted to turn around and tear Qian's mouth off.
But she couldn't do that.
When things were revealed, she was wronged and had to behave with her tail between her legs...
-
Xue Qingzhi was in the old lady's house in Shouanyuan.
Lighting the glazed lamp, he was chatting with his old mother and having midnight snacks.
Mrs. Fu led the girls and servants in, and the originally warm atmosphere turned cold.
"Why did you come back?" Old Mrs. Cui made up her mind not to give her any face. She was too lazy to show any face. She put down the tea cup in her hand and said angrily:
"If I were you, I would simply stay at my parents' house. How dare I go back to my husband's house with such shame."
Mrs. Fu glanced at Xue Qingzhi, "Master, what do you mean by what my mother-in-law said?"
After being married for more than 20 years, she understood Xue Qingzhi's personality.
He is good at face, and he cares more about the Xue family's face.
Not to mention that she and Liu Shijuan didn't have an affair. Even if they did, Xue Qingzhi wouldn't say it openly. As far as the Yongding Marquis Mansion and Princess Duan are concerned, she can still hold her position as the eldest lady.
She is the biological daughter of Marquis Yongding and the biological mother of Princess Duan.
As expected, Xue Qingzhi did not respond.
When Mrs. Cui saw this, her expression became even more ugly.
"Ms. Fu, these years you have been domineering in the house, arranging disputes, and treating concubines harshly. I have always turned a blind eye or closed my eyes to give you the face of being a daughter-in-law. But this time you have touched the third child. If it’s on your head, I can’t spare you...”
The corners of the eldest lady's lips were slightly twitched, giving a hint of a broken pot. Her smile was full of self-mockery and no fear at all.
"What the old lady said is true. But who asked the daughter-in-law to be the wife of a minister? There are so many mistakes. If others see it, they will only say that the Xue family has a bad family tradition and a loss of ethics! Otherwise, I am a womanly woman, and I have great abilities. , what kind of trouble can I cause? I am vicious, it is because I am living in this vicious nest, and I am forced to look like this! "
The old lady was choked back by her, her chest was swollen, she pressed her heart and pointed at Mrs. Fu, her fingers were trembling slightly.
"Da Lang, I want you to divorce your wife! Divorce your wife immediately! My old woman can't count on this noble daughter-in-law! What a misfortune our family has! There is such a troublemaker! How many lifetimes of good reputation will my Xue family have?" , it was destroyed by her alone!”
Xue Qingzhi quickly stepped forward to support the old lady and looked at Mr. Fu with stern eyes.
"Kneel down quickly! Admit your mistake to your mother!"
Mrs. Fu was silent for a moment and slowly knelt in front of Mrs. Cui.
"Mom, it's my daughter-in-law who is ignorant and talks without hesitation."
Xue Qingzhi's face looked better now, and he comforted in a low voice, "Mother, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Mrs. Cui was so angry that she was breathing rapidly.
"You can bear this evil woman who brought harm to my San Lang and had an affair with that fake Taoist priest, but I, the mother, cannot bear it. If you don't divorce her today, I will treat you as my son!"
"Mother..." Xue Qingzhi frowned and stopped her from talking.
"There is no evidence on this matter, so do not jump to conclusions."
Fu's Luopa was found on the body of Taoist Lingxu. Of course, it cannot be directly said that Fu was having an affair with the Taoist priest. At least, Xue Qingzhi didn't think that was the truth.
It doesn't matter what the relationship between him and Mrs. Fu is.
But Fu's face is also his face.
"It is important to preserve the Xue family now."
Xue Qingzhi followed the old lady's back, waited for her to calm down, and then advised: "Don't tell jokes to outsiders. Mrs. Fu is wrong, but she is the biological mother of the eldest sister's son, and Brother Lan... Mother does not care about others. If you think about it, you have to think about their future.”
Mrs. Cui also cares about the future of her grandchildren.
Seeing that Mr. Fu looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, she let out a long sigh.
"I'm old, and I can't control what happens in your room anymore, but I have something to say first. If you dare to reach into the third room again, don't blame me for being rude. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, Third Brother He is young, and if you, the elder brother, don’t take care of him, I, the mother, have to support him!”
Xue Qingzhi glanced at Fu.
Mrs. Fu slowly straightened her neck and looked at him.
"The daughter-in-law and the third brother-in-law are somewhat at odds with each other. But the daughter-in-law does not acknowledge the third brother's affairs."
Old Mrs. Cui was too lazy to look at her quibbles, and waved her hand without wanting to take another look.
"I'm tired. Please step back." Xue Qingzhi comforted the old lady a few more words, stood up, said goodbye, and walked out of Shou'an Yuan with Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu straightened her back, her eyes still arrogant, "Master, I and the Liu Shijuan have no feelings. I..."
"No need to explain." Xue Qingzhi interrupted her.
He didn't ask, didn't listen, and had no interest in her and Liu Shijuan's affairs.
"I am not divorcing my wife today for the sake of my eldest sister and brother Lan, and also to give some face to Marquis Yongding. But you have to understand that you and I have come to an end as husband and wife."
Fu's heart felt cold.
Big drops of tears rolled down like that.
She choked up silently, thinking about being a girl, and she knelt down in front of the Buddha with a shy face, clasped her hands together, and begged the Bodhisattva to bless her and her beloved husband to live a long life together.
She married him as she wished and had children for him.
Until now in this life, each other has changed.
Mrs. Fu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and smiled coldly: "Master, there is no need to make such a gesture, I don't owe you anything. Today my father and brother have gone to You Taichang's house to tell Jing Zhaoyin truthfully. I'm guilty My father and brother will take care of everything for me!”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After saying that, she straightened her back.
"I also want to tell the master that I am the pampered daughter of the Yongding Marquis Mansion and am not a vassal of your Xue family."
Xue Qingzhi was silent for a moment.
After a long while, he nodded without any trace.
"That's very good. You and I owe nothing to each other."
After saying that, he turned around and went to Aunt Zhao's yard.
Mrs. Fu looked at his back and sneered.
This is a couple who have been together for more than 20 years.
He didn't care about Liu Shijuan, not because he trusted her, but because he didn't care.
There are women who warm the tent for him, and there are warm and fragrant soft jade places to go to, so why deal with forcing a smile on her face?
Now that I have given him an excuse not to come to Qinglanyuan, maybe he will feel happy...
Mrs. Fu returned to Qinglan Courtyard with her eyes red with tears, and asked Cui Xi, the girl in the room.
"What did the eldest girl say when she came back?"
Cuixi was a little afraid of her and hesitated for a long time, unable to explain clearly.
"The princess said that the palace had treated the sixth girl badly, and asked the eldest lady to arrange a dowry for the sixth girl. She also said..."
Mrs. Fu felt a chill in her heart and her teeth were almost broken.
"What else did she say? Tell the truth, don't make a mistake in a word."
Cuixi lowered her head, "The princess said that the eldest lady has acted biasedly in recent years, and she should not ruin the reputation and future of the entire Xue Mansion for her own selfish reasons..."
Mrs. Fu lowered her hand and the veil fell to the ground.
The evil fire that was running wildly between his chest and abdomen actually dissipated.
Instead, it was desolate and depressing.
After all the hard work, in the end, even her own daughter came to accuse her...
-
The eldest lady is ill.
Bowl after bowl of soup and medicine was delivered, but nothing was good. There was no sound in Qinglan Courtyard, and even the entire Xue Mansion fell silent.
On the other side of the Jingzhao Mansion, I don’t know how Xue Qingzhi explained that Master Yin did not cause trouble for her, and You Taichang was comforted by Dingyuan Marquis. However, many rumors emerged in the market.
The eldest lady of the Xue Mansion used a trick that was not very clever to let her biological daughter climb a high branch, and then trampled the concubine to a state of disrepute. She abandoned her as a child and raised her outside. This incident became a topic of conversation in street tea shops for a while.
Somehow, as we talked about it, the rumors got out of hand.
The abandoned concubine gradually became the "Eight Luck Star". After finding out, the eldest lady found a Taoist priest to steal the concubine's luck and promote her own daughter...
But a lucky star is a lucky star, and the way of heaven is hard to change. He returned ten years later and began the reincarnation of cause and effect.
The backbones of the Xue family were almost broken.
In the misty rain building, Yaoguang looked at Xue Sui's face and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you going to do next? Are you still getting married?"
Xue Sui glanced at the amber wine with the aroma of green plums brewing on the table. He put one hand on the table by the window and picked up a piece of Yanyulou's honey-glazed meat with the other hand. He ate it slowly before spitting out two pieces. word.
"Married."
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
The closer you get to the palace, the more you see mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But from the moment she took that step, there was no turning back.
Yaoguang was curious: "But King Duan rejected you? How to marry?"
Xue Sui laughed and said, "Calm down and see again in a few days."
