Chapter 38 Divorce

After hearing this, Xiao Song's guilt reached its peak. He lost his balance and grabbed the chair and sat down on the ground. He hugged the chair and started crying.

"Uncle, if you have any grievances, please feel free to tell me. Although your niece doesn't have any great abilities, she will definitely seek justice for you. The Xiao family's reputation cannot be damaged in vain." Xiao Jiuyue was like a caring junior.

Xiao Jiuyue had already found out clearly that when Gan Li first entered the mansion, she and Xiao Song were in love for a while. Unfortunately, after Gan Li became pregnant and gave birth to one son after another, and Gan Li discovered that Xiao Song could not rely on the power of the Xiao family, and at most he could have face in Hongdu, Gan Li changed.

Gan Li was domineering when she was still in the boudoir. Later, her temper gradually revealed itself. She did not allow Xiao Song to take a concubine or drink!

Xiao Song was weak in character, so he allowed Gan Li to be domineering, until Gan Li knocked out a concubine's child in front of Xiao Song. Xiao Song got very angry. Gan Li didn't let him drink or take concubines, so he went to drink and have fun with other women!

Gan Li made a fuss and quarreled, and several of Gan's brothers-in-law also stepped in. Unfortunately, Xiao Song had given up because of the matter of the concubine and the child. Xiao Song often stayed in brothels and was often drunk.

Because of the Gan family's dominance, Xiao Song must have felt wronged over the years.

"Cousin." Xiao Song was not fully sober yet, and was forced by Gan Zongrong to come over to ask for someone. After listening to Xiao Jiuyue's words, Xiao Song felt even more ashamed of the Xiao family and Si Niang.

Si Niang saved him, but because of his cowardice, he harmed Si Niang and the baby in her belly!

"Uncle, the Xiao family shouldn't be bullied by outsiders." Xiao Jiuyue said angrily, "Is Madam Gan too mean? Is she treating you badly?"

The Xiao family is not the one to be bullied by outsiders.

Xiao Jiuyue's words made Xiao Song want to talk even more. He said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. She's more than just a bad person."

Xiao Song talked about what happened over the years, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Yeah, that's right."

Xiao Jiuyue nodded in agreement from time to time, listening to the trivial matters that Xiao Song talked about. The only serious thing he talked about was the concubine Si Niang and the child who was not in trouble. Otherwise, it was Xiao Wenxing and his children who were spoiled by Gan Li and became lawless, which led to this disaster and even the loss of their offspring.

Now, his temperament has changed drastically, and even his father has disappeared.

Xiao Jiuyue looked at him crying with tears and snot all over his face. Thinking about these things carefully, they all highlighted Gan Li's tyranny and despotism, and even her disregard for human life. However, she was the main wife, and the government could do nothing about it even if she beat or sold the concubine.

"Uncle, you don't have any handle against Madam Gan, otherwise, it will be difficult for your niece to vent your anger!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Song with embarrassment. A grown man, when encountering something, he could only cry and snot. No wonder he was controlled by the Gan family.

"Handle?" Xiao Song wiped his nose and looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a confused look.

"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared her throat and said, "I remember that my grandfather would send me money every year and even bought some farmland, real estate, and shops in the old house."

"Miss." Xiao Song immediately raised his hand to wipe away his tears upon hearing this, and said embarrassedly: "I, I have four sons. The farm and the shop have been divided among the four children. Only a few dozen acres of land are left..."

Xiao Song's voice weakened a little.

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "Father is right to plan for the child. Are the deeds in the hands of my cousins? Didn't Madam Gan take them?"

"No." Xiao Song shook his head. Hearing that her tone did not contain any blame, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Gan Li wanted those things, but Xiao Song thought about his father's last words before he died, and his heart was always empty.

"Miss, originally these were the Xiao family's things, but my sons are not at home." Xiao Song felt more and more guilty as he spoke.

"Since my cousin is so thoughtful, let's forget about other things. This land has to be cultivated as the Xiao family is large." Xiao Jiuyue counted the heads of the Xiao family. Including the master and the servants in the Xiao family's old house, there were still more than a hundred people.

"I, I'll give it to you when I get back." Xiao Song didn't dare to look at Xiao Jiuyue's eyes. Xiao Jiuyue continued, "Uncle, to be honest, it really hurts me to see you being bullied by the Gan family. Even if the Xiao family is in decline, as long as you ask, your niece will make the decision for you and divorce Madam Gan."

"Divorce?" Xiao Song looked up in disbelief, and his eyes were filled with shock when he looked at Xiao Jiuyue.

"As the legal wife, you can't tolerate a child born out of wedlock. This is jealousy. Secondly, as a junior, you made my grandmother so angry that she vomited blood. This is disobeying the elders. Thirdly, even if my cousin wants to have a drink of wine, he needs her consent. How can such a wife take good care of my cousin?" Xiao Jiuyue looked like she was standing up for justice for him.

Xiao Song was silent for a long time, then said, "The Gan family won't agree."

"Uncle, you can take a look at this." Xiao Jiuyue came out with an account book that recorded the total amount of money that the Xiao family in Shengjing had sent to the old house over the years. She said, "Uncle, do you remember all of this money?"

When Xiao Song saw the amount, he swallowed. If he remembered correctly, Gan Li had been shouting that there was no money in the old house.

"And this." Xiao Jiuyue took out a few more offerings and said, "This is what the mother next to Madam Gan admitted. She personally admitted that Madam Gan used the Xiao family's money to subsidize her family over the years."

"Gan Li!" Xiao Song gritted his teeth in anger. He said, the Xiao family gave so much silver every year, and also had farms and shops, so how could they be so poor that they had no food to eat?

"Uncle, as long as you agree, your niece is willing to sacrifice her reputation for you and ask Magistrate Zhuang to cancel this marriage."

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Song with a smile and said in a coaxing tone, "It's okay if your cousin is wronged, but you can't let several cousins ​​you've never met be wronged. The Gan family is doing well now, but they are all sucking your blood!"

"Uncle, think about it carefully. If you have figured it out, come find your niece. Your niece will definitely stand up for you." Xiao Jiuyue said, then stood up and left, leaving Xiao Song alone, sitting on the ground, flipping through the account books, lost in thought.

"Miss, when did you get to know the prefect?" Lianxin looked at Xiao Jiuyue in shock. She was always by Xiao Jiuyue's side, so how could she not know that the young lady also knew Prefect Zhuang?

Xiao Jiuyue smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "Have you heard of an idiom?"

"What?" Lianxin looked at her in confusion.

Xiao Jiuyue said: "The fox is relying on the tiger's power!"

Lianxin's pupils dilated instantly, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, afraid that she would say it out loud. She followed Xiao Jiuyue all the way, and was shocked at the young lady's courage!
