Chapter 20
"divorce your wife?"
Su Yining was extremely surprised.
Although Mrs. Zheng was not very affectionate towards the three brothers and sisters, she was very considerate of her face. Over the years, I have served my grandmother and taken care of my husband, and I have indeed done nothing wrong.
How to talk about divorce?
"Yes, divorce your wife and let Mrs. Zheng go back and forth wherever she wants!" Su Yiyun's flamboyant temperament cannot bear the slightest injustice, and she will say whatever comes to her mind.
But let’s not say that Mrs. Zheng didn’t make any mistakes on her business trip. Even if she did, she was also their stepmother. How could it be the younger generation’s turn to mention divorce?
Isn't this disobedience to your elders? No wonder Su Che was so angry just now.
"Sister, why did you say that?" Su Yining asked while pulling Su Yiyun towards her yard.
Su Yiyun must have been extremely aggrieved, with tears falling down like broken beads. In the past, she was arrogant and domineering because she made others cry, and she never shed tears easily.
"A few days ago, I went out to relax, and met my brother's former companion in a small town on the edge of Langya Mountain."
"My brother passed away three years ago, and his companion was kicked out of the house. But the book boy was obviously from Jinling City, but his family moved to such a poor place as Langya Town."
"I became suspicious and sent people to investigate several times, only to find out that when my brother went to see Da Lang and Xie Yu off late at night, and then met the bandits, it was not a coincidence, but man-made."
"It's Ms. Zheng. She bribed her companion early in the morning and asked him to inform her of her brother's daily whereabouts. Then she would wait for an opportunity to arrange for someone to take action."
"Originally, she planned to assassinate her brother on his way to Bailudong Academy the next day. But that day, Xie Yu came to the house to beg his father not to break off the engagement, and fell into a high fever and fainted. The eldest son of the Xie family came to look for him, and his brother went to meet him. Mr. Xie’s farewell.”
"Ms. Zheng took action in advance and pushed everything to her brother. She told her father that her brother insisted on leaving the house late at night to go to the Xie family to break your engagement."
Suddenly, countless messages rushed towards her, and Su Yining suddenly grabbed Su Yiyun's wrist.
"Have you checked clearly?" Her voice trembled slightly, "Brother's death was really not an accident?"
Su Yiyun cried so hard that her eyes were blurred. She looked up at Su Yining, angry and anxious: "Why should I tell such a lie? Of course I will find out!"
As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeves: "I knew that my father would not listen to me. I will go back to the Weibei Hou Mansion right away. As the daughter of the Su family, I can't do anything to her. How can I, as the Weibei Hou family, do nothing to her?" Can’t the eldest concubine of Beihou Mansion do anything to her?”
This is her temperament. She just can't calm down and plan well when encountering problems. She always rushes into things. Su Yining frowned and pulled Su Yiyun: "Sister, please wait a minute and listen to me."
"What about the accompanying reader? Is he there? Do you have a confession?"
Hearing her question, Su Yiyun sat down on the stone steps beside the gravel road, crying sadly: "I caught him, and I wanted to take him back to Jinling to confront him in front of his father. But we took a boat back to Jinling. At that time, just as the boat was about to dock, for some reason there was a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and the boat sank."
"I was rescued by a passing hero and was able to return home, otherwise I would have been told to be there!"
"As soon as I returned home today, I came to see my father, but he didn't believe me!"
As her words fell, Su Yining's heart sank along with the shipwreck.
Now, there is no proof of death.
You don't need to think about it to know that there are so many coincidences in this world. Su Yiyun must have alerted the snake, and Zheng sent someone to silence him.
Now, it will be difficult to catch her.
"Tell me, can we report it to the official?"
If you sue your stepmother without any basis or evidence, you will be punished. Moreover, this matter also involved the life of Mr. Xie.
Su Yining shook her head and pulled Su Yiyun up from the ground, with a deep look in her eyes: "Sister, you will go back to Weibei Hou Mansion as normal tomorrow, but don't act rashly. If you have anything, you must discuss it with me in advance."
"Since there is no witness or confession now, let's wait and see and don't let her go easily."
Aren't they going to the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet? Then let them go, not only let them go, but also let them go in a glorious way.
It hurts the most when you hold it up high and then drop it hard. Simply divorcing your wife is not enough.
Su Yiyun was pulled by her to stand up, with tears still hanging on her face. Although she spoke fiercely, she had no scheming intentions and could only rely on Su Yining for these matters.
The two supported each other and walked into Su Yining's yard.
"Sister, you just said that my brother left the house that day because it happened that the eldest son of the Xie family came that day and my brother went to say goodbye to him?"
"Didn't Xie Yu happily sign the divorce form back then? Why did he appear in our house again? And he fainted due to high fever?"
Over the years, no one had ever mentioned this to her.
That day, she and her grandmother hurried back home, only to see a freshly written divorce document. They also returned all the betrothal gifts sent by the Xie family one by one.
They only told her that the master had given up on the marriage once he mentioned it, and Xie Yu immediately signed the divorce document.
The letter of annulment written by Xie Yu himself is still placed in the Duobao Pavilion beside her bed.
On the bright red paper, there were hot black fonts. He clearly wrote, "One by one, two widths." From now on, they will get married and have nothing to do with each other.
It turns out that he didn’t agree to break off the engagement without fighting for it?
"Well," Su Yiyun nodded. She had already married to the Marquis of Weibei and didn't know much about the matter. "I always thought that you were annulled and your reputation was ruined. It’s not easy to talk about marriage.”
"On that day, I interrogated my brother's companion and found out that it was my father who was instigated by Zheng and wanted to take advantage of the fall of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to regret his marriage and marry another."
"Prince Xie came to beg his father and knelt outside your yard for two days. Finally, he fainted and was picked up by the eldest son of the Xie family."
"The Xie family is quite benevolent and did not publicize this matter. They only said to the outside world that the two families had not reached an agreement. Otherwise, if you were convicted of the crime of adding insult to injury from the beginning to the end, it would be worse than having the engagement annulled."
Su Yining was extremely upset when she brought up old things again. Compared with the shock and anger when she just heard that her brother's death was not an accident, she was even more distressed.
Over the years, she had always thought that she was the one who was given up so easily. It turned out that it wasn't just her who had tried to struggle, but so had he.
If she had known earlier, would things have been different? She and Xie Yu were supposed to be a perfect match.
For no reason, Su Yining suddenly remembered that when they got engaged, the Xie family sent someone to propose marriage without any warning.
Su Yining thought there was a mistake. Xie Yu climbed over the wall from outside the yard in the middle of the night. Half of his body was hanging on the wall, and the other half was still outside the wall, grinning at her.
At that time, he was in high school in Chunwei and got the second place in the first class. In the main hall, Emperor Longshun looked at his nephew who had already emerged from the fifth server with a smile and asked him what he wanted.
Xie Yu said that he would fight for what he wanted. The young man was angry and scolded Fang Qiu, causing Emperor Longshun to laugh heartily again.
Later, he did go for it. All he wanted was a marriage contract with the Su family.
He was beaten severely by Marquis Yong'an and lay in bed for three or four days without being able to get off his feet.
But the injury was healed, so he ran to beg Yong'an Hou again.
Just like this, he begged, begged, and begged, back and forth seven or eight times, until Marquis Yong'an finally couldn't stand him and relaxed.
On the night of the official engagement, Xie Yu's buttocks were still swollen. He lay on the wall of Su Yining's yard and knocked on Su Yining's window with a stone.
Talk to her.
"I didn't break my promise, I said, we will always be the best in the world."
"If I marry you as my wife, we will never be separated."
Su Yining blushed. She didn't expect that his joke back then actually meant this. She threw the pebble at him and leaned down to close the window.
If it had not happened that they broke off the engagement, if they could have persisted, perhaps they would always be the best in the world.
But soon, this idea was abandoned.
Even if she could know earlier, things might not be able to change. In Daliang, the husband is the main link and the father is the main link. A woman obeys her father at home and her husband when she gets married.
She wanted to fight for the marriage, but Su Che insisted on breaking off the engagement, so she had no other choice.
Unless she could abandon everything and elope with Xie Yu. But she can't, and neither can Xie Yu.
So even if she knew everything, the ending between her and Xie Yu would still not change. It's just that the heart that had already accepted his fate became more unwilling.
I don't know if Xie Yu felt any resentment in his heart when he was kneeling outside his yard, but he never came out to take a look at him.
There should be.
But in the countless days and nights that followed, this resentment, along with those vague and charming affections, all disappeared with the wind.
If we meet again and say another word, we are afraid of hurting each other.
