Chapter 253: Annulment, and Divorce
could that be! Such a low-level trick, how could our Emperor use it It's a kind of ban, this old slave doesn't know much either, but it's just a spell cast out, ordinary people can't do it" 。Let us p...Moreover, Jiang Wanting's attitude was a direct announcement of the result, leaving no room for her to maneuver. 。So she thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with anything. She just nodded her head, and that was that. 。Master Yu looked at her, his face full of disappointment. 。She turned her head away, unwilling to meet his gaze, pretending she hadn't seen him. 。Although she was the one who brought up the engagement, she also thought that the Yu family was easy to manipulate and control. She just didn't want the eldest son to marry a capable wife who would influence her and her second son's position in the family. 。Unfortunately, the Yu family was greedy and wanted more. They saw the position of a first-rank general's mansion as an easy target. If she continued to meddle in this matter, she would be considered foolish. 。The old matriarch remained silent, but Ye Lianmian spoke up for her grandmother, muttering angrily, "How did this become Yu family's fault Is it over just because my brother was frivolous with a young lady You are all twisting the truth!" 。" Who answers is the fool, " 。“ ”
"You..."
"Ye Lianmian, shut your mouth!" The old lady banged on the table, "This is none of your business, just keep your mouth shut!" She also rolled her eyes fiercely, her face full of disgust. 。 Mu Shi's heart was particularly uncomfortable. Her good daughter was taken away, raised like this, and in the end, the old woman disliked her first Night Lian Mian listened to the old lady's words the most, so she shut up when she was told to. Although she wasn't very happy, she still didn't say anything more... 。Jiang Wanting just smiled and turned back to Yu Da Ren: "Father, the reason why I directly dismissed your official position instead of first investigating everyone in your household is all because of your wife and eldest daughter's face." 。Otherwise, if the Ministry of Justice gets serious, I'm afraid none of your family will be able to leave Lin'an unscathed. 。Master Yu, you should be grateful. 。" Mr. Yu fell to the ground with a thud, muttering incessantly: "It's over, it's all over." 。"Yes, it's all finished." 。A sixth-rank official is not required to attend court, and the Minister of Punishment has absolute power to appoint or remove you. 。Your family's rise and fall depend on our Jiang family, and our Jiang family is on good terms with the Night Family's main branch. 。So I really can't understand, what got into your heads to put on such a show 。“This must be really embarrassing for him, huh”
Jiang Wanting stopped talking to him and turned to Ye Wenyan instead: “Wenyan, I’m so sorry about my father. This is all his fault for not controlling his subordinates well. I apologize for the trouble he’s caused your family.”
Don't worry, the Ministry of Justice will definitely give you justice, and Flying Jade brother as well. 。“Done, and I'm still bowing deeply to Madam Mu. Please forgive me for this.” 。Mu Qianqiu quickly said: "This matter is not the fault of Lord Jiang. With so many people in the Ministry of Justice, how could they possibly manage everything" 。Besides, our two families were already betrothed, so he couldn't interfere too much. That's how these people got away with it. 。It's late at night, asking you to run an errand, Aunt Mu feels really guilty. 。"Aunt Mu, please don't do this. It would be embarrassing for both our families." 。It's late, I shouldn't stay long. I'll head back now and visit Aunt Mu another day. 。“We’d better deal with Princess Guiyue quickly, I can't bear it any longer.” 。" After everything was said and done, I was about to leave, but just then another servant rushed out from the hall, followed by a woman. Behind the woman were more servants, each carrying a large chest." 。Old Master Yu, who was sitting on the ground still muttering "It's over, it's over," noticed that this woman also looked familiar. He thought to himself, how could the Jiang family send a big sister and not be enough They even sent another woman! 。When Result entered the Mingtang hall, he saw this was not Jiang family's mistress. This was Feng Mama, who always followed by Lady Hai! He glared at the woman and felt a surge of anger. He had somewhere to vent his fury and immediately shouted, "What brings you here"Feng Mama ignored him, just scanning the hall for a moment before walking over to pay respects to Madam Mu. 。"The old slave is a servant of Mistress Hai, the head of the Yu family. I've met Madam Ye twice before. Greetings, Madam!" The person knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Shi. 。Mu Shi pretended to support herself and said, “I remember you, Hai Jia’s sister, how are you doing”Feng Mama spoke honestly: "Thank you, Madam, for remembering. My mistress… is not doing well.” 。She took a deep breath, “But I’m not here to complain tonight. My mistress and eldest sister have something they want me to tell you.” 。"Lady of the Night, allow this old servant to attend to the important matters first!" She said, getting up on her own accord and waving her hand, motioning for the servants who were following outside to come closer. 。“These are all the dowry items that the Ye family brought into the Yu residence when they were betrothed, they are our eldest sister's most precious possessions” 。The mistress wanted to give all the betrothal gifts as dowry to her elder sister, but unfortunately, the master, influenced by his concubine, insisted on putting the betrothal gifts into the family treasury and giving more than half of them to the younger sister as dowry. My wife and elder sister fought tooth and nail to save it. 。I brought everything back today and returned it to Ye's family. 。"What does this mean" Mu Shi was stunned, and Ye Feiyu was also taken aback. 。Then Grandma Feng said again, "My mistress has no face to marry into this family anymore, and the eldest sister also has no face to marry again." 。“ She reached into her bosom and quickly pulled out a letter. 。"This was written by my eldest sister before she left home. She instructed the old servant to read it aloud in public, and asked Madam Ye to allow the old servant to do so." 。"Female, Xiongnu Chi, seventeen years old, the daughter of Yu Changwen, Minister of Punishment..." 。I am the legitimate daughter of the mistress, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, with a noble status. 。Therefore, my father favors concubines over his wife and has not only confined me and my mother to the house, forbidding us from going out or seeing guests, but also plots to frame the young master of the Ye family, who is betrothed to me, in order to marry my half-sister into the Ye household. 。My mother fell seriously ill from anger and is still bedridden. I have argued with my father many times, but to no avail. I've tried several times to sneak out of the house and send a message to Ye family at night, but I haven't succeeded. 。Both inside and outside the courtyard, there were people guarding with aunts and fathers. If one took another step forward, they would be stopped. 。With no other choice, I took advantage of the night when my father and aunt had taken my younger sister out. I threatened them with death, holding a knife to my neck to frighten the servants, before managing to carry the betrothal gifts from our house to the night family's residence. I also asked Ma Feng to deliver this letter to the Night family. 。For three years since our betrothal, I've embroidered my wedding clothes and bed quilts. I've also made two sets of four seasonal garments for Fei Yu gege each, along with six pairs of shoes. Even the canopy for our new house is ready. 。Though the materials may not be extravagant and might not match the grandeur of a high-ranking general's manor, it comes from the heart. It represents my sincere wishes for a beautiful marriage. 。My mother made up a dowry for me, which wasn't very rich. My mother was rather poor, but it was the best we could offer. 。Fortunately, the dowry from Ye's family is substantial. In the future, it can all be brought back, and at least we can save some face. 。However, on the night of a major funeral at his home, the originally scheduled wedding date had to be postponed for several more years. 。Mother and I don't want to be unhappy or blame anyone. It's all according to the rules and traditions of human relationships. Our family doesn't want this big funeral either. 。So I lit seven seven forty-nine high incense sticks at home and also made preparations for postponing the wedding date. I even thought that during these two years, I could embroider more clothes and quilts, and add a few more patterns to my wedding gown. 。I am very happy to have such a good match, because I heard that Young Master Ye is not only handsome but also an upright gentleman. 。 。How could a child raised by such a person not be good I'm truly out of my league. 。I have already made up my mind. After I marry into your family, I will definitely serve my mother-in-law well, be kind to my sisters-in-law, and live a happy life with my husband, respecting and loving each other. 。Unfortunately, none of these plans are useful now. 。But I don't regret it. A person should be upright and honest. Even if we lose in love, we shouldn't lose our integrity. I can't marry into the Ye family knowing my father is acting this way, and live with a guilty conscience. 。It's my own misfortune, I can't blame anyone. 。Many thanks to Brother Feiyu for not looking down on me in the past and being willing to become betrothed to me. Today, the dowry has been returned, the marriage contract has been destroyed, and even the engagement gift went with the dowry, all delivered by Grandma Feng. 。That's it for our marriage. From now on, every time we meet, I can only call you "Night Master." 。"
Once you've read this, everyone in the room feels pretty bad.>>> 。Jiang Wanting sighed first, then Mrs. Mu: "Why does Xuanji have to do this"Feng Mama sniffed and bowed, "My mistress repeatedly emphasized that she must thank the mistress and young master for not despising her and giving her such a generous dowry" 。These dowries were all snatched from the in-laws' family back then. My wife went over the list with great care and found nothing missing. 。Today, everything is back to square one. From now on, we owe each other nothing. 。" She finished, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mu Shi. Looking at Ye Feiyu again, she sighed repeatedly, "My sister is unlucky, such a good young master, she will never meet someone like him in her lifetime." 。“
She stood up, walked a few steps in front of Lao Ye Yu, and said in a deep voice: “My mistress asked me to bring a message to the master! My mistress has had enough of life in the Yu Mansion, she’s tired of you, this hypocritical man of morality. She wants a divorce from you!” 。"If you refuse, she will go to the Lin'an Prefecture yamen and beat a drum to complain, accusing you of favoring concubines and destroying your wife!" "She dare!" Lord Yu became furious, "What is she She dares to accuse me" "What official are you, you won't be an official for long!" 。"Jiang Wanting spoke up to remind, "It's just a few hours away, and you won't be an official anymore."> 。My father personally went to court to plead for you. The Emperor will surely give the Ministry of Punishment some face. 。" “I…… then I will absolutely not divorce!” “Then go report it, if the Lin’an Mansion can't win, we'll go to sue the imperial court! Madam, even if she boils you in oil and nails you to a board, she will have you sued!” &l!--ver--&gnket, and then got up and went to the flower hall. 。Last night's dinner was very abundant, a whole table full, twenty dishes in all, plus two jars of wine. 。When he arrived, he heard Ye Feiyu ask Lian...
