Hearing that Mrs. Shen actually insulted her parents, Jiang Shu frowned angrily and looked at Mrs. Shen with sharp eyes.
"Not being able to swallow your anger is rude, and not being docile and obedient is immoral?"
"I dare to ask the old lady, when the Marquis and Qingrong behaved inappropriately, did I say that it was you and mother who failed to teach them the right way?"
"The old lady keeps talking about etiquette and moral virtues, but can she reflect on herself?"
"Or is it that the old lady's so-called etiquette and women's virtues are about disciplining others but not oneself?"
"You... bastard!" Mrs. Shen's old face flushed red, and her chest heaved violently with anger.
Jiang Shu snorted coldly: "I respect you as an elder, and I hope you respect yourself."
Mrs. Shen almost lost her temper and stared at Jiang Shu angrily, speechless.
"That's enough!" Shen Changze warned angrily: "Jiang Shu, my patience has its limits."
Patience, who is enduring?
Jiang Shu replied coldly: "My patience has its limits."
Seeing her stubbornness, Shen Changze suppressed his anger and asked, "Do you really want to divorce?"
"Yes." Jiang Shu's pretty face was cold, she met Shen Changze's gloomy gaze, and said clearly: "I want to make peace."
"What if I don't agree?" Shen Changze's face turned pale.
"Then please ask the Marquis to return all the expenses I have spent on the Marquis Mansion over the years. If the Marquis Mansion allows my wife to support her with her dowry, it will make people laugh if word spreads." Jiang Shu ridiculed.
"You threaten me?" Shen Changze was furious, with veins popping out on his forehead.
"Yes." Jiang Shu said bluntly.
The two looked at each other tensely, and Shen Changze saw the unwavering determination in Jiang Shu's eyes.
That determination scared Shen Changze and made him understand that Jiang Shu really wanted to leave him.
Suddenly, Shen Changze felt panicked and did not dare to continue the quarrel. He got up and walked away as if running away.
Lu Mingke never expected that things would develop to this point. He opened his mouth to persuade, but he didn't know who to persuade.
If it were him, he wouldn't want to waste his life in this snake and rat nest.
"Heli, you are worthy of it. A divorce letter is fine."
When Lu Mingke wasn't paying attention, Shen Qingrong jumped out and stood up for Shen Changze who was fleeing.
There is a huge difference between quitting and leaving.
Jiang Shu looked at Shen Qingrong with cold eyes and said contemptuously: "Return your dowry first, and then talk to me about it."
"you……"
"What are you, you are soft-spoken and short-handed, don't you understand?"
Mother Shen was dumbfounded in shock. She never knew that Jiang Shu could be so eloquent and eloquent.
Cheng Jinchu was also surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Shu to be so violent. The entire Hou family was speechless and speechless.
Cheng Jinchu didn't dare to talk to him at all, for fear that he would be upset and get sick.
"Mom, look at her." Shen Qingrong blushed with humiliation and asked Shen's mother for help.
But Shen's mother didn't dare to answer the question, fearing that Jiang Shu would ask her to pay back the money.
She couldn't even remember how much money she had spent on Jiang Shu over the years.
"Grandma." Shen Qingrong turned to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen asked her maid to help her back to the house on the pretext of having a headache and asking for medicine.
The last layer of fig leaf was pulled off, and Mrs. Shen could not be ashamed of herself no matter how thick-faced she was.
Lu Mingke was shocked. He didn't expect that such a large Marquis Mansion was actually supported by Jiang Shu's dowry as rumored by the outside world.
They lied on Jiang Shu's body to suck blood and eat flesh. Not only were they not grateful, but they joined forces to humiliate her. It was really shameful.
After Jiang Shu left, Shen Qingrong angrily asked Shen's mother, "Is she crazy? She wanted to divorce because of a hare."
At this time, Shen Qingrong still didn't know the heavy price she would pay for a hare.
After returning to Tingzhu Tower, Jiang Shu was so sad that Bubai died tragically and couldn't sleep, so he simply asked Chu Yu to find out the spending records of the Hou Mansion over the years, compiled them into account books overnight, and sent them to Shen Changze early the next morning.
After hearing what Chu Yu said, Shen Changze threw his bowl and chopsticks and left the house without eating a bite.
Later, I heard from Dr. Fang, who was changing Tan Yu's dressing, that Shen Changze accidentally fell off a horse and injured his leg, and was carried back to the Marquis Mansion to recuperate.
"Retribution comes so quickly." Tan Yu asked energetically: "How serious is the injury?"
Doctor Fang said: "It's not serious. It will be fine after a few days of treatment."
"It's such a pity that it would have been better if it was broken." Tan Yu looked regretful.
Chu Yu scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense and cause trouble for Madam."
The relationship between Jiang Shu and the Hou Mansion is currently tense, and many pairs of eyes in the mansion are staring at them, waiting to catch them for their mistakes.
"I know, I know." Tan Yu stuck out her tongue, and finally asked, "Does Madam really want to reconcile?"
Her feet were not yet healed and she could not wait in front of Jiang Shu, so she didn't know many things.
Chu Yu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said: "I think Madam is serious. She stayed up all night last night to sort out the account books and give them to the Marquis. She just broke up and didn't plan to leave any room for retreat."
"That's fine. Our wife has endless money and can live a comfortable and comfortable life anywhere. There is no reason to suffer here."
Zhong Yue gnawed on a carrot and said, "It can't be that easy. I think ordinary people can't live together as a couple. Even if they want to get divorced, they have to peel off their skin and it may not be successful."
Not to mention high-ranking nobles.
"What should we do?" Tan Yu's brows were about to become knotted.
"Madam will find a way, as long as we don't cause trouble for her." Chu Yu firmly believed.
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
At noon, Jiang Shu woke up and got up to eat.
Chu Yu told her about Shen Changze falling from his horse.
After hearing this, Jiang Shu's eyes widened and he ate half a bowl of rice more.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yu understood that she no longer had any affection for Shen Changze.
After the meal, Jiang Shu asked Chu Yu to study ink and write a letter home to Jiang's father.
The letter stated her intention and explained why.
"This letter is very important. There must be no mistakes. You must go there in person and deliver it to your father or mother."
Jiang Shu warned carefully.
"My slave understands." Chu Yu carefully collected the letter and turned around.
After sleeping for half a day, Jiang Shu went downstairs to get some fresh air and relax his muscles. When he walked under the buried sweet-scented osmanthus tree, he saw a carrot stuck in front of the mound of soil under the tree.
Who did it?
Jiang Shu stepped forward and squatted down, trying to remove the carrot, but found that there were words engraved on the carrot.
Tomb of Bubai.
She seemed to know who did it.
Jiang Shu laughed dumbly, his almond-shaped eyes moistened.
Raising his hand and stroking the word 'Bubai', Jiang Shu recalled Bubai chewing carrots and said softly: "Bubai, I will definitely make them pay the price."
Chu Yu went away for a long time and came back in the evening.
"Madam, this is the master's reply." Chu Yu took out the sealed letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu took the letter with Chu Yu's body temperature, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
Jiang's father said in the letter that he regretted marrying her into the Hou Mansion, and also hated the Hou Mansion for deceiving and humiliating her. Tell Jiang Shu not to worry and just do whatever you want. Jiang Mansion will always be her home.
Jiang Shu's eyes were slightly red, and he asked Chu Yu to bring a candlestick and burn the letter.
The Hou Mansion is not her home, and no traces can be left behind.
Looking up at the vast sky outside the window, Jiang Shu ordered: "Start tomorrow and secretly inventory the warehouse, pack everything, and be ready to leave at any time."
Chu Yu was startled and responded respectfully.
Jiang Shu's dowry items were numerous, and they were all stored in her private treasury. It would take some time to quietly take stock of them.
