Chapter 17: Divorce or Divorce
After Wan Qiaozhen dressed up, Cao Linxiang was also busy, came to see Wan Qiaozhen, and when he saw Wan Qiaozhen in full costume, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "Why are you going to eat and dress up so neatly, aren't you afraid of stealing the limelight from the county lord?" β
Wan Qiaozhen said with a smile: "You don't know Wen Hui, she is not afraid of others stealing her limelight at all, she especially likes the friends around her to dress up when they get together, as for herself, the clothes are naturally the most beautiful, but there are not many jewelry, only a few, but they are all boutiques." In fact, even if we are full of pearls, we can't cover Wen Hui's elegance, she has a special demeanor on her, which makes people can't help but be convinced. β
Cao Linxiang saw Chen Wenhui yesterday and felt the same way: "Although I only met yesterday, I felt that Lord Wenhui was different from ordinary women. Ordinary women are either coquettish, gentle, naΓ―ve, or gorgeous, but her style is not, well, it should be said that it is a kind of self-confidence, this is really what our Dachu women do not have. β
Or Cao Linxiang has a lot of knowledge, and Wan Qiaozhen said: "Well, you are right, it is self-confidence." Okay, why don't you go out yet, all the grinding here? β
Cao Linxiang said: "I have already handed over the post to the county lord's inn, Lord Zhao still has some things today, it may be a little later, I will go to our store to take a look now." It's better to wait until noon, and I'll come back so I can see you there. β
Wan Qiaozhen was very satisfied with her husband's favor for her, and said: "You don't have to come back, you are busy with yours, I will take a look at the two brothers in a while and leave them to my mother to take care of." I took the car to Yan's house and found Yu Yan to go over. β
Cao Linxiang was right when he thought about it, so he didn't grind anymore and left directly.
After Wan Qiaozhen arranged a qiΔ, it was already half noon, she got in the car and went to Yan's house, and after a while, Huang Yuyan of the Yan family came out, took the maid, and got into her carriage. The two of them talked for a while in the carriage, and Qinghelou arrived.
One into the water pavilion. I saw a figure wearing a blue makeup and satin gown. The two of them looked at it and it turned out to be colored jade. They were all taken aback, it was not that they had never seen Caiyu in the past few years, and Caiyu was all coarse cloth clothes. I don't want to dress up. But today I was wearing a satin gown. It's weird. Caiyu turned around.
Wan Qiaozhen and the two saw clearly that there was not too much jewelry on Lan Caiyu's head, just a few hostas. There was a silk flower on his sideburns, and the sadness on his face was much less, but there was a little more determined look.
Wan Qiaozhen and Huang Yuyan glanced at each other, and saw that each other had a look of surprise in their eyes. The two of them were busy greeting Lan Caiyu.
Lan Caiyu smiled and greeted the two younger sisters and thanked them for taking care of them.
Wan Qiaozhen couldn't hold things in her heart, she asked, "Why hasn't Wen Hui arrived yet?" β
Lan Caiyu said: "It should be soon, right?" β
Wan Qiaozhen said: "My sister has changed a lot, but has something happened? β
Lan Caiyu smiled and said, "You two have very sharp eyes. Okay, I'll say it. β
So I told Chen Wenhui what she said.
As she was talking, Chen Wenhui had already brought her maid over with her mother-in-law. I saw Chen Wenhui wearing a pink woven gold gown, a moon-white threaded skirt underneath, and a set of red coral hairpins on her head, and the hanging coral beads looked extraordinarily pretty.
Chen Wenhui asked with a smile: "The sisters arrived early." What are you talking about? Sister Qiaozhen, you are dressed up so neatly today, you can go to the palace to attend the banquet. Sister Yu Yan is also so exquisite. And Sister Caiyu, you are in good spirits. But it's already connected? I'll tell you, like that kind of scumbag, don't be nostalgic, there must be a better one ahead. Besides, you and your children must live better than them anyway. β
Huang Yuyan immediately said: "Yes, Wen Hui is right, others are not angry and bully you, you should be more self-reliant, you blindly retreat and forbear, you can only let them see jokes." What you just told us, I think Wen Hui's arrangement for you is very good. It couldn't be better. In fact, with your talent, it is not impossible to become the second Wan Shuhui in the future. β
Wan Qiaozhen also said: "Yes, Sister Caiyu, when we were together, didn't you take care of us properly?" At that time, you started to help your mother with the housekeeping, and even asked your father about his business. Even when the Lan family promoted cotton, didn't you also come up with a lot of good ideas? β
Back then, Wan Qiaozhen's father and Lan Caiyu's father were friends, and they were together more, but Wan Qiaozhen didn't hear her father praise Lan Caiyu, saying that she was atmospheric, steady, and smart.
Huang Yuyan said: "Even if you are suppressed by the Wang family now, aren't your own fields and shops also running very well?" The Wang family doesn't give your mother a few offerings, don't you live a good life just by relying on your dowry? I heard that not only has your dowry not been less in recent years, but you have also added some land. β
Lan Caiyu looked at a few friends, and said with great emotion: "Actually, the day before yesterday, after Wen Hui told me, I was very hesitant. My mother went back and persuaded me. I am very much in favor of Wen Hui's arrangement. But I'm not dead yet. At this time, I received a letter and was completely devastated. β
Chen Wenhui couldn't scream in her heart, it must be the Wang family's moth, so she hurriedly asked: "But what tricks did the Wang family make?" The Wang family is really hateful. β
Lan Caiyu sneered and said: "The Wang family is hateful, I am also hateful, there are eyes without beads, such a person, by the way, Wen Hui said, he is a scumbag, such a scumbag, I still hold on to it like a jewel, I am really blind." The Wang family sent a letter to my mother's house. However, at the time of the letter, they did not know that I would leave Anseong and come to Cheongyang City. The letter is for my parents. β
"The letter said a lot of bad things about me, all of which were false, and finally said that their family was going to divorce me, and they were ready to leave the book. However, thinking of the relationship between the two families, my in-laws came forward to persuade Wang Zhicheng, the scumbag, and asked my mother's family to persuade me to take the initiative to make peace, so as to save my face and the face of the Lan family. β
Chen Wenhui and the three of them were extremely angry, Wan Qiaozhen couldn't hide it the most, she first said: "Who is this?" Still hit a rake? What is wrong with you? Did you not give them children, or were you jealous that you did not give Wang Zhicheng a concubine? Or are you not filial to your in-laws, or you don't know how to knit as a female worker and manage your finances? Their Wang family did disgusting things, but it was counted on your head, and they pretended to be a personal favor, for the sake of the relationship between the two families, let you take the initiative to leave? β
Huang Yuyan was also angry and said: "I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless." It's really a scumbag, your parents-in-law are also extremely disgusting, let's watch and see what they can do? β
Chen Wenhui was also angry at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was a good thing. When I talked to Lan Caiyu the day before yesterday, Lan Caiyu obviously still had illusions about Wang Zhicheng, and now although this letter is angry, it can also break Lan Caiyu's thoughts, which is a good thing. The Wang family is going to fall anyway, but it's just a matter of time. She didn't want Lan Caiyu's mother and son to be unlucky.
Moreover, Chen Wenhui keenly found from Lan Caiyu's words that she no longer called Wang Zhicheng her husband, but called him by his name, what does this mean? It shows that Lan Caiyu has completely died, and maybe he has already gone through the peace and separation procedures with Wang Zhicheng. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui saw the brocade clothes worn by Lan Caiyu again, and thought of the cotton clothes Lan Caiyu was wearing when they met that day, and a thought appeared in his heart, and Lan Caiyu decided to cheer up.
Chen Wenhui said to Lan Caiyu: "What the two sisters said is right, don't be nostalgic for such a scumbag." What did my sister plan? Will you continue to stay in the Wang family, or will you leave? How to reconcile and leave? What did Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan say? β
Lan Caiyu smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to stay, and people won't let me stay?" I'm not the faceless person, since they dislike our girls as eyesore, then I can only leave. My parents sent a letter to the Wang family, and Wang Zhicheng will come back in two days to handle this matter. When the time comes, we may have to go to our hometown of Anseong. All I have is three children, and my dowry. I don't want anything else. β
Chen Wenhui's eyes flashed and said: "The Wang family asked for peace so suddenly, and Wang Zhicheng had to come to Jiangnan on a special trip, which shows that the Wang family has been choked by the neck of the Great Chu Bank." Perhaps, they have no way out, and they want to use Wang Zhicheng's second lady's maiden family. People definitely don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and the second lady must become a doctor before he is willing to save the Wang family. Therefore, the Wang family is now thinking about how to get rid of you quickly. β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Huang Yuyan said: "Wen Hui, what you said is very reasonable. In that case, we're going to have to reconsider. It can't be cheaper for the Wang family. According to the law of Da Chu, the woman offered to take it back and take back the dowry, but she could not take away the child. What's more, you not only want to take away your children, but also the children of Wang Zhicheng's concubines? Generally, there are also such cases, and the woman needs to pay money to buy the child back. β
Huang Yuyan was born in an official family, and when she saw that her father had decided a lot of cases, she knew it clearly.
Lan Caiyu hurriedly said: "I don't even want a dowry, and I want three children." My own children are necessary, and without them, I might as well die. It's the child who came out of the concubine, his mother died because of me, I hurt her, how can I ignore her son anymore? I can't help her even if I come to the other side. β
After saying that, there were already tears left. (To be continued......)
