Chapter 543 Application for release
Even if Zeng Jing was dismissed by the Liao family because she had nothing to do for three years, the Chu family would not say anything for the sake of Liao Fangyi.
Liao Fangyi is Zeng Jing's sister-in-law.
Mrs. Liao had made a good calculation. Mr. Liao tried to persuade her for a long time, but he did not persuade her. However, Mrs. Liao relaxed and let Liao Jingtang go back.
She didn't mention asking Zeng Jing to serve her again.
Half an hour later, the conversation between Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao reached Xia Zihan's ears.
Xia Zihan's pretty face turned purple with anger, and she slapped the table beside her with her palm, shattering the cups on the table.
Fortunately there is no water in the cup.
Vanilla hurriedly picked up the pieces, feeling very sorry for the new set of Diefei pastel cups that she had just taken out a few years ago.
If one of these cups is broken, the whole set will no longer be usable, which is a pity.
It's very expensive. A set of eight cups cost thirty taels of silver.
Hey, Vanilla also packed away the remaining cups.
Seeing that Xia Zihan was angry, Chu Lin looked serious, not daring to laugh anymore, and said, "Master, after all, Miss Jingbiao married from the Chu family, and Mrs. Chu also agreed to this marriage. Now Mrs. Liao wants to The interests of the Liao family have such an idea, which means they don’t take our Chu family seriously.”
"It's not that she doesn't take it lightly, but with Sister Fang here, she's not afraid that the Chu family will fall out with the Liao family." Xia Zihan said through gritted teeth.
"Then what should we do, Master? We can't let that old godly woman succeed. Miss Jingbiao is a good girl. We can't let her continue to suffer and be bullied by the Liao family." Chu Lin said angrily.
Xia Zihan tapped her fingers on the table as a habit, thinking about this matter in her mind... After a while, she said, "Liao Jingtang has to come forward in this matter. Zeng Jing is his wife, and he is Liao Jingtang." The grandson of the old lady, it is best for him to come forward. It is best for him to take Zeng Jing away from the Liao family and drain the firepower in order to stop the old lady Liao's conspiracy."
If she asked her grandmother to come forward, Mrs. Liao would not dare to challenge Zeng Jing again. However, if that happened, firstly, it would be uncomfortable for Liao Fangyi to be caught in the middle. Secondly, since Mrs. Liao had this idea again, I am afraid that It’s not easy to rest your mind.
She was just afraid. She acted in a positive and negative way. On the surface, she was nice to Zeng Jing, but she secretly resorted to tricks.
Just in case...
If Zeng Jing really has nothing to do for three years and Mrs. Liao proposes to divorce her, even if her grandmother comes forward, it's hard to say anything. She can't watch Liao Jingtang have no children.
Therefore, the Chu family should keep it secret.
Liao Jingtang came forward.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Chu Yuexi invited several friends to come to his house for a gathering, including Liao Jingtang.
Liao Jingtang was pretentious and couldn't bring himself to play. After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and left. Before he left the Chu family gate, he was invited by Nuan Yu to see Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan was a good friend with him, so he didn't mince words when talking, and went straight to the point. He told Liao Jingtang the conversation between Mrs. Liao and Mr. Liao, word for word.
Finally, she added, "This is what Chu Lin overheard when she went to Liao's house. I saw cousin Jing's face was pale and weak when she came to the second grade of junior high school, so I decided to let her go and see how she was doing. , you know this girl Chu Lin She said, she always likes not to go through the front door, but she didn't expect that she would hear the conversation between your grandmother and your father. According to your grandmother's intention, she planned to abandon cousin Jing's useless chess piece and find another chess piece for you... ”
"Impossible..." Liao Jingtang interrupted her excitedly, his face flushed, "I have never thought of divorcing my wife and marrying another woman, Chu Yu, I can swear to you, even if Jing'er can't give birth, I will never give birth to a child. Other tribesmen will never divorce their wives and marry another one if they adopt an heir.”
Seeing Liao Jingtang say this, Xia Zihan felt lucky for Zeng Jing.
Fortunately, when her grandmother agreed to the marriage, she was right about Liao Jingtang.
She said, "This is what you want, but how can you stop your grandmother and your father from their thoughts?"
"I will express my attitude to them directly." Liao Jingtang said.
Xia Zihan shook his head, "You have to go to the academy all day long, and Cousin Jing is left alone at home. Why don't you just let other people say it? Cousin Jing is also a tolerant person. Even if she has suffered great grievances, she will not I will endure it and not tell you.”
"What if... what if your grandmother sees that you are determined and becomes cruel and kills cousin Jing directly? Will you marry her?"
Seeing Liao Jingtang's expression change, he hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end, he slumped powerlessly on the chair, his face full of sorrow.
The most painful thing in the world is that one's relatives want to harm his beloved wife, but he can't stop it.
Since getting engaged to Zeng Jing, he has never treated her as a chess piece. She is his wife, the mother of his future child, and the woman who wants to spend the rest of his life with him. How can she be a chess piece?
Xia Zihan said, "Actually, it's not impossible to do this. I just need to see if you can do it."
"What can I do?" Liao Jingtang sat up straight and stared at Xia Zihan with bright eyes.
Xia Zihan only said two words, "Let it go."
Liao Jingtang's face froze, "Do you want me to apply for overseas release?"
"Well, only by removing the firepower can we completely put an end to your grandmother's conspiracy." Xia Zihan said, "It depends on how much you can do for cousin Jing and whether you are willing to abandon the glory and wealth of the capital for her." Most officials live a very miserable life, especially a young and honest civil official with little qualifications like Liao Jingtang.
Liao Jingtang just thought about it for a moment and felt that Xia Zihan's method was very good. It was the best way to completely take Zeng Jing out of the Liao family's nest.
He nodded immediately.
When going to bed at night, Liao Jingtang put Zeng Jing in his arms and told her, "I plan to ask for a transfer to another country after the Lantern Festival. When the time comes, you can come with me."
< br>
Zeng Jing stiffened, and then looked at him with some surprise, "Husband, when did you have this idea? If it's for me, you don't have to..."
"No, don't think too much about it. I've had this idea for a long time." Liao Jingtang interrupted her and lied in good faith.
Even if it was for her sake that he would listen to Xia Zihan because he didn't want to see her continue to be punished by her grandmother, and he couldn't really tell her the truth about asking for a transfer.
This woman is too sensitive and delicate, and also too kind. If she knew that he was going out for her, I'm afraid she would have to think too much.
Sure enough, when Zeng Jing heard that it wasn't because of her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go abroad with you."
Thinking of Liao Fangyi following Zeng Yiran to work abroad, and the couple living outside lovingly, and being pregnant, she was filled with envy and jealousy.
She was also looking forward to the day when she would follow Liao Jingtang to live outside.
She believed that she could also live a happy life with Liao Jingtang, loving each other.
……
After the Lantern Festival, Liao Jingtang actually submitted a memorial to the Ministry of Personnel asking for transfer to a foreign official.
When his father found out, he lost his temper.
"You didn't even discuss such a big matter with me. Do you still think of me as your father?"
"Everyone is eager to be transferred to the capital, but you are actually asking for a transfer from outside. What do you think?"
When the officials told him this, he felt confused. God knows how angry he was at that time.
His son had never had to worry about him since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he would have to worry about it when he was older.
"I'll put that down first. Please transfer the matter to a foreigner, so you just..." Give up on this idea.
Before Wei could finish the latter sentence, he was interrupted by Liao Jingtang, "Dad, I want to go to work abroad, and I ask you to help your son."
Liao Jingtang knelt down.
"You...you want to piss me off to death?"
Mr. Liao pointed at him with trembling fingers and his face was livid, "Do you know that it is easy to be transferred to a foreign post, but it is very difficult to return to Beijing after you can do it. Your third uncle has been working in a foreign post for more than ten years. After a lot of hard work, I was finally transferred back to the capital. ”
"I know, I will work hard to be a good official and strive to be transferred back to the capital as soon as possible." Liao Jingtang said this, but he had already planned in his heart. He would not return until he and Zeng Jing gave birth to a legitimate son. Beijing's.
Mr. Liao glared at him angrily, "Are you really determined?"
"Yes, father, please help your child." Liao Jingtang kowtowed to him three times.
Seeing that his son refused to eat food and salt, and refused to eat soft or hard food, Mr. Liao angrily threw his hands away and said, "Well, this is your decision, I don't care, but I also tell you, you have to transfer to another position now, okay, I will If you don’t stop me, if you want to enter the capital again, you have to rely on your own efforts, and I won’t help you.”
"Thank you, father." He kowtowed three more times until his forehead was bruised.
Mr. Liao almost fell down in anger.
Liao Jingtang's transfer came quickly.
After Mrs. Liao found out that he had applied for a foreign appointment, the day after the transfer documents came out, she sent over a maid named Lan who was next to her, saying that she wanted Liao Jingtang to take him to the appointment and take care of his life.
However, Liao Jingtang did not intend to take her there, but only planned to take Zeng Jing.
Wouldn't he ask for a transfer to a foreigner just to keep Zeng Jing away from the mess at home? If Zeng Jing were to stay and take another woman with him, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts and abandoned Zeng Jing in this place? In the whirlpool, anyone can trample on you.
Then everything he did was putting the cart before the horse?
When he went to say goodbye to Mrs. Liao again, Liao Jingtang said, "Grandma, it's enough for me to have Jing'er by my side. There is no need for so many people to follow me. I am an official, not for enjoyment. That maid is the big sister beside my grandmother." The maid is to serve my grandmother. My grandson dare not let her serve me and take away my grandmother’s love.”
It means that if you don't accept the maid, let Mrs. Liao take it back.
Mrs. Liao's face turned dark immediately, "You went to work abroad. Why, you didn't stay at home to fulfill your filial piety, and you didn't plan to keep your wife at home to fulfill her filial piety?"
