Chapter 31: Divorce (1)

A few more days passed.

The weather is getting hotter, and the students in the private school are all huddled together, and a few students have fainted from heat stroke while listening to my husband's lecture.

For this reason, the lecturer of the private school gave the students in the private school a few days off and told them to go back and rest for a few days.

After a few days, when the weather cools down, I will go back to the private school.

In the study room of the Sheng family's mansion, Sheng Mingyu was lying on the desk, sketching out those charms to ward off evil spirits and disasters one by one.

Anxin held the tea in his hand, stood beside Sheng Mingyu, and watched intently at Sheng Mingyu drawing spells.

In the past few days, Sheng Mingyu got a piece of news, saying that Yongding Marquis Shizhang had been ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangzhou for disaster relief, but he was bitten by the homeless people and bit on his arm, and he didn't get better for several days.

On the contrary, the wound bitten by the homeless person gradually suppurated and bled endlessly.

Shi Zhang's spirit is getting worse and worse.

When he arrived in Tokyo City, Sheng Mingyu heard that Shi Zhang was too sick to die, and he was delirious, shouting that he wanted to eat human flesh and drink human blood.

When the matter reached the palace, the official family Long Yan was furious and went out of the palace to see Shi Zhang.

Seeing that Shi Zhang was already delirious, he asked the Imperial City Division to pick up Shi Zhang from the Hou Mansion and send him to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, where he was personally watched by several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital.

But these days, there is news from the city again.

said that Shi Zhang's injuries had been healed and he had moved back to the Hou Mansion.

However, when she asked Anxin to go to see Shi Quan, she secretly inquired with the servants of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and Shi Zhang has not returned to the Hou Mansion so far.

Those news, about touch, are fake news handed over by the Imperial City Division.

However, why the Imperial City Division handed over such news, Sheng Mingyu didn't know very well.

Probably, the official family doesn't want the news of Shi Zhang's serious illness to spread throughout the city of Tokyo, right?

When she got the news that Yongding Hou Shizhang had never returned home, she was relieved to inquire about another thing.

After hearing that she was going to withdraw from the marriage, Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Yongding, reprimanded Shi Quan a few words, and then agreed to Shi Quan's request.

In the heart of Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Yongding, she must also be looking forward to being able to withdraw from this marriage.

She had long known that the Xu family looked down on her, and the reason why she had not proposed to withdraw from the marriage was because this marriage was decided by Sheng Mingyu's parents when they were there.

At that time, the Eiding Marquis Mansion was just an ordinary family in the city of Tokyo.

And the Sheng family's room was in full swing at that time.

The Yongding Marquis Mansion climbed to the relatives of the Sheng family's house, which can be regarded as climbing a high branch.

At that time, they would never think of quitting the marriage.

But now that the Sheng family's house has declined, the second room of the Sheng family, that is, the Sheng Guo Mansion, with the grace of Sheng Guifei in the palace, has crossed the position of the first family of Da Chen in one fell swoop.

With the Yongding Marquis Mansion's habit of praising high and stepping on low, he naturally thought that he would divorce Sheng Mingyu, and then he could marry Sheng Ruyu back openly.

Yongding Houfu's careful thoughts, how could she not know?

However, it is also worth it to get the three thousand taels of silver from Sheng Ruyu, and to get back the pair of rose gold hairpins, and to withdraw from this marriage with Shiquan.

Besides, she didn't have any feelings for Shi Quan.

If you withdraw from the marriage, you will not suffer.

The next thing she had to do was to go to the Xu family, ask for the consent of the uncle of the Xu family, go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion with her, and withdraw from the marriage.

Xu's house is on Danyang Street.

Two days ago, she communicated with Xu Min that Xu Min would return to Xu's house from Shouchun Bo's Mansion today, and she would talk to Uncle Xu about her own affairs.

After Sheng Mingyu asked Mingjue to stay in his house honestly and study, he hired a carriage with peace of mind and went to Danyang Street.

The Xu family is a family of military merit, Xu Dingyuan, the uncle of the Xu family, was a general who could fight well in the west in his early years, and after pacifying the Xichuan Rebellion, Uncle Xu was injured and returned to Beijing to recuperate.

At that time, the official family took pity on Uncle Xu and let Uncle Xu recuperate from his injuries in Beijing, and he had been recuperating for so many years.

However, Sheng Mingyu knows that today's official family is not so simple as letting Uncle Xu recuperate in Beijing.

Uncle Xu was extremely prestigious in the Western Army, and the soldiers under his command were all under the jurisdiction of Uncle Xu.

When the Great Chen Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizu also started as a military general.

Therefore, I am worried that my subordinates will follow suit, and I have been using Wenchen to suppress the generals.

The generals who guard the border are changed every three years.

Uncle Xu won the hearts of the people in the army, and the official family must be jealous in their hearts, so they let Uncle Xu stay in Beijing, nominally to let Uncle Xu recuperate in Beijing, but in fact, he secretly sent people to spy on Uncle Xu.

After entering the Xu Mansion, the mother-in-law who led the way led Sheng Mingyu to the Little Flower Hall.

The mother-in-law said that Master Xu and Mrs. Xu, as well as Xu Min, were already waiting for her in the small flower hall.

Entering the Little Flower Hall, Sheng Mingyu really saw Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.

Although Xu Dingyuan and his mother are not siblings of the same mother, they still had a good relationship in their early years, and later their mother married into the Sheng family, and the relationship gradually deteriorated.

Xu Dingyuan wore a cyan robe with a slight smile on his face, because he was sitting next to Xu's aunt Li, Xu Dingyuan's hand was holding Li beside him tightly all the time.

Li looks to be in his early thirties, but in fact he is over fifty, and he is good at maintenance, soup cooking, and medicinal food.

Therefore, Li's face does not look as old as Xu Dingyuan.

Li saw her mother-in-law leading Sheng Mingyu into the flower hall, hurriedly beckoned to Sheng Mingyu, and asked the maid to move the embroidery stool over, and Sheng Mingyu sat on the embroidery stool and replied.

"Mingyu, I've already heard Min'er say about you. The Yongding Marquis Mansion is indeed not a good place to go. ”

"Your father and mother went early, and you have been supporting the Sheng family and protecting Mingjue alone all these years. If you really don't want to marry the Marquis of Yongding, this marriage, quit if you leave! ”

As Li spoke, Sheng Mingyu noticed Xu Min on the side.

Xu Min glanced at Sheng Mingyu and signaled her to rest assured.

After Li finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Dingyuan who was sitting next to him, Xu Dingyuan also glanced at Li next to him, and turned his head to look at Sheng Mingyu who was sitting in front of him.

"Mingyu! Min'er told us everything about you. This marriage between you and Shiquan was decided when your father and mother were there. If you want to withdraw from the marriage, you need to come forward with your elders. ”

"Over the years, my uncle has never taken any care of your sister and brother, and now my uncle has accompanied you to the Yongding Marquis Mansion and retired from your marriage with Shiquan. It's an explanation to your father and mother under the nine springs. ”

Listening to what Uncle Xu said, it was obvious that he had promised her that he would go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion with her and withdraw from the marriage.

Sheng Mingyu got up from the embroidery stool, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Uncle Xu and Li in front of him.

"The kindness of the eldest uncle and aunt, Mingyu has remembered it in his heart for the rest of his life, and he dare not forget it."

Seeing Sheng Mingyu suddenly kneeling, Li hurriedly got up and picked Sheng Mingyu up from the ground.

"Silly boy, what is this for? Hurry up! These things are my business with your uncle. If we help you, we can be regarded as worthy of your father and mother under the nine springs. ”

Li picked up Sheng Mingyu and personally patted the dust on her dress when she knelt down.

"Since it's going to get out of the marriage! Then go for it today."
