Chapter 40: The Turmoil of Divorce
The old lady was slightly stunned, but Zhou felt that she almost stopped breathing, her eyes were full of disbelief, Le Xian bit her lip, is her father going to take the opportunity to help Gu take the position? Gu and Le Yu were very surprised, Gu looked at her husband and blinked vigorously, and held back the tears that were about to come up.
The old lady pondered for a while, raised her eyes and looked at the Gu family who was barely calm, the Gu family has been keeping to herself all these years, she is not a very unreasonable person, and her hostility and hatred for her have faded a lot, the reason why she still lets the Zhou family housekeeper is just that she can't look down on the Gu family's softness and lack of courage, but she is already her daughter-in-law, and she can't take care of this family forever, and she still has to hand it over to her in the end.
When the old lady thought about it, the knot in her heart for many years had faded a lot, and she decided to give Gu a chance: "Gu family, if you are asked to deal with this matter, what are you going to do?"
Gu Shi was so excited that his fingertips trembled, tears filled his eyelashes, but Le Yu was half happy and half worried, Gu had never taken care of family affairs, let alone such a major matter that was related to face and reputation between the noble and noble gates, Le Yu was a little worried that Gu would not handle it well, and even Le Yu thought so, not to mention the sneer in other people's hearts.
Gu Shi clenched her fists, somehow a little nervous, she subconsciously looked towards Chopard, but was greeted by a smile full of encouragement and trust. Rao'er won't have a good time marrying in the past, if she wants to retreat, she will retreat, with our family's family background, it will not be difficult for Rao'er to find a better family..."
Before she could speak, Zhou had already interrupted her with a scream: "How can you withdraw from your family?!" How can we see people after retiring, and what face do we have?! Isn't it distressing if it's really not your daughter?!"
The old lady had lost patience with the Zhou family, and when she saw that she was quite unreasonable, her eyes were about to burst into flames, and she pointed to her nose and scolded: "Shame? You also brought on yourself to lose face! What kind of face do you have?! What you can lose, what you can afford to lose, is not the face of our Xiao family! Your sister-in-law is right, if you don't withdraw from your relatives, do you still want to send your daughter to the door to make people miserable?
Seeing that the old lady was angry, she didn't give herself any face in front of everyone, especially Chopard Wei Gu's family, and poked her heart every sentence, and there was no exaggeration, Zhou's face was so red with shame that he didn't dare to splash Gu's again, so he had to cover his face with a handkerchief and cry bitterly.
The old lady glared at her fiercely, and seeing that she looked like a wolf with sideburns and tears, it was not easy to scold again, Le Xian hurriedly used her hands to straighten the old lady's back, held the tea cup and waited for the old lady to drink two sips, and the filial appearance attracted Chopardway's eyes to look at her more softly.
The old lady asked Gu again, "But if Pingyang Bofu wants to withdraw from his family, outsiders who don't know the inside story will always damage Rao'er's reputation." Gu shook his head and said what he thought in his heart, "Although this marriage will definitely not be completed, but Pingyang Bofu has done something wrong, what qualifications do you have to withdraw from our marriage? If you want to withdraw, it should be our family who takes the initiative to withdraw from the marriage and withdraw from his family's marriage." “
Because it was Pingyang Bofu who came to withdraw from the marriage, everyone was thinking about how to deal with it, but no one thought of jumping out of the circle drawn by Pingyang Bofu and taking the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.
The old lady's eyes also lit up, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "What if Pingyang Bofu refuses?" Chopin Wei kept looking at Gu with a smile, and at this moment took over the words and said proudly: "He dare! If he Pingyang Bo refuses, then we have to let the people of the whole Beijing division come to evaluate the theory, see how his son reads poetry and books, and knows the way of the sage, such a person still wants to take the top prize, and he has to ask me if I agree?!" He has lived on people for a long time, and this will be a gesture, the graceful bearing that is not angry and self-exceeding, and the domineering eyes, make people save the father in front of him or the powerful and powerful Sima of the court in front of him.
The old lady patted her head, shook her head and smiled, "Old and old, Gu, this matter will be handed over to you, please invite Mrs. Pingyang Bo to come in a few days, you tell her, this matter will be handed over to you, you must do it properly." “
Gu happily agreed and cast a grateful look at Chopardway, Le Xian saw that she had already bitten her silver teeth, and the nails curled up in her palms pierced deeply into the delicate palms, with a wet touch.
Le Yu was happy for Gu's family, but also became more and more vigilant, Gu family saw that there was hope to be accepted by the old lady, Le Xian was afraid that she would not be willing to see such a scene, calm, it would not be too long.
When Chopin Hong came back and knew what was going on, he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Zhou in the face, and scolded: "You don't know anything! I, an official, can only rise step by step by relying on the affection of my eldest brother, and you have to rely on the troublesome sister-in-law to clean up for you, and you dare to blame the sister-in-law? I am a concubine, and I have been cautious and respectful in front of my mother, so that I have been able to get the name of the Xiao family for so many years, otherwise I would have been separated from the family! You can still manage the family in a beautiful manner and take some things that do not belong to you? ”
Zhou's grievances are extremely aggrieved, this family affair originally looked excellent, who knew that it would become like this, now everyone blames her, even her husband blindly blames herself, the more she thinks about it, the more aggrieved she is, she simply makes a fuss, hits her head on Chopard's waist, and cries: "You blame me for everything! I have to be careful with everyone who has followed you all these years, the main courtyard is someone else's treasure, I can't touch it, I suffer hardships and suffer without merit and hard work, you are a concubine, I am still the eldest daughter of the country's son of the priest wine, but I am not married!" Yes, every qiē in this family belongs to other people, and I'm just a housekeeper and a slave!"
Chopard was cold, and she hit her headlong on the screen of flowers and birds, and her footing was unstable and overwhelmed the screen, and even the people with the screen fell to the ground, and the screen fell to pieces, and the flowers and birds on it were also robbed and shattered. Chopard's heart was full of anger, pressed the back of the stiff feet on the red sandalwood screen, held the hands of the servants who swarmed up to support him, supported him to get up, endured the pain, and raised his foot to kick Zhou's heart, Zhou's screamed so painfully that his eyes trembled, and the husband and wife were red-eyed, regardless of the persuasion of the servants, they scuffled together, and they lost the dignity of the old lady.
The house was turned upside down, seven or eight servant women couldn't pull away the two of them, Zhou received a few punches on the head and chest, a kick in the lower abdomen, Chopard's hair was also scattered, a few three-inch-long blood marks were scratched on his face, and his eyes were blue and black.
was making a lot of noise, only to hear a loud "bang", everyone was startled by this huge sound, Qi Qi let go of his hand to see, Xiao Lerao's face was full of tears, gritted his teeth fiercely and desperately threw a grinding plate-sized Hetian Qingyu open-carved mountain stone pavilion ornament in Zhou's room to the ground and smashed it, and a pair of pastel maid flower bottles were also broken, and grabbed a delicate and abnormal glaze red four-fish pattern round belly tank to be smashed but was distressed Zhou stepped forward to hug him despite the pain all over his body, crying: " Wrongdoer, evil obstacle, what are you doing here?!"
Le Rao trembled all over, and cried in a hoarse voice: "It's all my fault, it made the chickens and dogs jump at home, and my father and mother turned against me, so I wiped my neck clean, and I also lost my reputation." Saying that he broke away from Zhou's, he was going to look around for scissors and knives, etc., and immediately bluffed everyone to come forward to stop, hugging his waist, hugging his legs, and finally hugging his hands and feet, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, endless sadness and hesitation, and the girls and mothers-in-law also accompanied them to shed tears, and the room was full of gloom and misery, miserable and pitiful.
