Chapter 5 Signature

Jiang Qingning watched Xun Moli perform quietly, observing with indifference Xun Chen clumsily coaxing his son.

Probably in the eyes of the father and son, Xun Moli's academic achievements and character development were just insignificant matters compared to joining forces to resist her, the external enemy.

Xun Chen finally managed to calm Xun Moli down, and his eyes swept over everyone present.

The wet nurse at the door lowered her head guiltily, with cold sweat on her forehead.

He shifted his gaze to Jiang Qingning and said with disdain, "How could there be a mother as cruel as you in this world? You don't care about your own son at all. You're worse than..."

Xun Chen thought of something and stopped talking.

"You're worse than a married woman like you, who shamelessly lives in your cousin's house, coveting your cousin's sister, Bai Qingyi, an outsider. Am I right?"

Jiang Qingning sneered, his eyes full of provocation.

Xun Chen was furious: "Jiang Qingning, is this how you, as a wife, disobey your husband?!"

"If you're concerned about Qingyi, you could just speak frankly since you've been living in the mansion for so long. Why go through all this trouble with divorce?"

"Oh, my husband, do you really think that I want to divorce you because of Bai Qingyi, and not because you have done too many sad things?"

"Isn't it?" Xun Chen asked with a look of boredom on his face.

Jiang Qingning felt a little tired from standing.

After three years of seclusion in the Taoist temple, when she was brought back home a month ago, she was so haggard that she could be described as emaciated.

She had finally managed to regain some energy in the past three months, and she couldn't waste it in front of these people.

"The divorce has been signed, and I'm leaving now."

"Otherwise, maybe it will be just as my mother-in-law said. I will stand by your bed with a kitchen knife tonight to sharpen it."

Xun Chen looked at his wife in front of him with some strangeness.

The woman who used to serve him as a daily servant, was considerate in every way, and took care of the mansion and served her mother-in-law without any complaints.

Now they dare to make such a big fuss over just a few trivial matters.

Seeing that Xun Chen was unmoved, Xun Moli became anxious and burst into tears.

"Mother is so fierce, Daddy, Mo Li doesn't want this mother, wuwuwu..."

Xun Chen came back to his senses, comforted Xun Moli in his arms twice, picked up the divorce letter beside him, and didn't even glance at it.

"Since this is your request, I will sign this divorce agreement. Even if you regret it later, I will not look back."

"No, we must divorce her. She has been eating and drinking for free in our Anping Marquis' Mansion for so long. How can we let her leave with her dowry like this!" Old Lady Xun was furious and kept scolding her.

Xun Chen looked surprised: "Mother?"

Is he the kind of person who would covet a woman's dowry? Besides, the laws of the country are here, so how could Xun Chen be a villain?

"Husband, this is the last time I call you husband."

"If you care about our relationship as a married couple for many years, please sign the divorce agreement quickly and don't let us completely fall out. Otherwise, you never know what I might do next." Jiang Qingning advised in what he thought was a good-tempered manner.

"My son, I cannot sign!" Old Madam Xun was firm.

"Dad, Mom has been eating and drinking for free for so long, how can we just let her go? Take away her dowry, I want to buy jewelry for Aunt Qingyi!"

Xun Chen couldn't believe it: "How on earth did you take care of your son? He didn't even bother to care about you at all!"

Jiang Qingning sneered, "When the child was two years old and just started talking, my mother-in-law sent me to a Taoist temple for asceticism. They say a child's character can be seen at the age of three. Why don't you tell me how my mother-in-law took care of the child?"

You still want to throw dirty water on her? It's a pipe dream!

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the mother is deliberately teaching her child bad things?"

"Think whatever you want, just sign the divorce papers!" Jiang Qingning was completely impatient.

She was so blind in the past that she actually had such naive expectations for a man who couldn't tell right from wrong and couldn't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

What she had endured for the past eight years had finally woken her up. It was all retribution!

If I had known this would happen, I would have poked out my eyes and become a blind beggar. That would be a thousand times better than being like Xun Chen.

Xun Chen was furious. He ignored Madam Xun's exclamation and turned to the last page of the divorce agreement and signed his name on both agreements.

Xun Chen dropped his wolf howl, turned around and said indifferently: "Xun Jiang, at this point, you are no longer a member of the Xun family, so move out of the Anping Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible."

"Son, you are confused!"

Old Madam Xun was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she was quickly supported by Nanny Liu.

Although Jiang Qingning's father and brother were demoted to Lingnan, the demotion in reality meant exile. If nothing unexpected happened, they would never be able to return in this life.

Moreover, Jiang Qingning's dowry can truly be described as luxurious.

Although she had no one to see her off and no one to marry her.

The dowry alone was a huge sum of money. Even though she didn't know how Jiang Qingning got it back from the Jiang family, it didn't mean that she wasn't jealous!

"There's one more."

Jiang Qingning stepped forward and pulled out the last one, reminding, "Register with the government."

"Don't sign, don't sign!"

Old Madam Xun hurried forward.

Xun Chen's face darkened when he was ignored.

He impatiently picked up the wolf-hair brush and wrote his name, the last stroke being very heavy, as if he was beginning to get angry.

The next moment, Jiang Qingning quickly took out the divorce letter after he took away the wolf-hair brush.

Jiang Qingning checked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no trace, and he also avoided being snatched by Mrs. Xun.

She wrote these three divorce agreements very carefully, stroke by stroke. If any one of them was destroyed, she would have to write a new one.

The loss must not outweigh the gain.

Wasting any more ink on Xun Chen would make her feel sick.

"I will never pester you."

Seeing her being so cautious, Xun Chen gritted his teeth with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"I know."

Jiang Qingning glanced at him, his hands moving without stopping, carefully taking out the first two best-written ones, rolling them up gently, and carefully putting them into his sleeves.

"Mrs. Xun, please don't get your old body bumped or hurt easily, or you'll have to ask me to compensate you.

Please remember clearly that after three years of hard training in the Taoist temple, I am actually three points weaker than you."

Jiang Qingning achieved his goal and sneered, full of sarcasm.

Moreover, in the past three years, she has never asked God to bless anyone in the Anping Marquis's Mansion, but has prayed day and night for herself and her parents and siblings.

"You are really stubborn. This is going to cause a big uproar!"

Old Madam Xun was leaning on her cane, knocking on the ground with a bang.

How could she not be angry? Her thoughts were instantly shattered by Jiang Qingning. She was about to bend her knees, but she froze in the face of her sarcasm.

When Xun Chen saw his mother's actions, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"Mother, a woman is to obey her husband after marriage. The food, clothing and other expenses she has are always her dowry." He reminded in a deep voice.
