Chapter 49 Being Realized by the System

"The couple's property should be divided in half." Jiusu suggested, "It can be converted into cash. I don't mind taking a little less."

What a big appetite, Chen Zhao thought, but he still agreed.

"I'm sorry for you. I just took office, and I only have rewards. The salary hasn't been issued yet. I'll give you five thousand taels tomorrow."

"Sure, sure!" Jiusu nodded happily.

Before leaving, Chen Zhao reluctantly turned back and leaned against the doorway, unable to conceal his complex emotions. He choked up and said, "Aren't you curious why I agreed to the divorce?"

Jiusu leaned against the door frame and pursed her lips, "I'm not curious."

When the door is about to close.

Chen Zhao said, "Mother actually wanted to kneel down and beg me, saying that if I didn't agree, she would poke her eyes out. Jiusu, you must have been very good to her this year to let her treat you like this. Although we have divorced, if you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me. Of course, if you regret it, I welcome you back anytime."

No one responded.

Jiusu leaned against the door, her heart ached, her mind filled with her mother-in-law's sad look. She was so moved that the greatest blessing she had in ancient times was to save her mother-in-law, and at the same time, to save herself.

Chen Zhao looked at the extinguished lights in the room and sighed.

“How cruel.”

I thought I would stay for my mother.

It rained all night, and the yard was filled with rainwater. Jiusu got up early, holding an umbrella, and followed Chen Nan out of the house. She turned around, looked at her mother-in-law who was standing by the window looking at her, and waved gently, "Mom, I'm leaving."

Mrs. Lu straightened up, waved her hand, and opened her mouth.

Instantly, tears streamed down her face as she murmured, "Su'er, you must be happy. I've already told Zhao'er that if you want to raise Bai Luoxue, you have to wait a year! I've finally gotten your revenge."

As soon as the news of divorce came out.

The Jiu family could no longer sit still. Jiugui brought a group of people to make trouble. After being surrounded and warned by the soldiers, they became scared.

"Brother-in-law, are you dissatisfied with your poverty now that you have become a general? Do you look down on the Jiu family?"

"Brother Jiu, you are really overthinking it. It was Jiusu who proposed the divorce. Here is one hundred taels. This general also wants to warn Brother Jiu not to cause trouble for Jiusu because of this matter. If I find out, I will put you in jail for life." Chen Zhao handed over the banknote and put his hand on his shoulder, giving him a warning.

Jiugui was so scared that he grabbed the banknote and ran away.

Isn't it just being a general? What's so great about it?

Bai Luoxue was coaxed into drinking the medicine. She clutched the man's hand, tears falling, wetting the gauze. Her lips trembled and she sobbed, "Husband, why don't you discuss this with me? I've waited for you for a year. How can I agree to a divorce? How am I supposed to face my sister in the future?"

Chen Zhao gently stroked her back, looked at her trembling shoulders, and comforted her.

"Why are you crying even more bitterly than she is? She's quite happy about the divorce, and what's more, I gave her five thousand taels of silver, so she'll never lack money for the rest of her life."

"What?" Bai Luoxue's eyes widened, her fingers clenched into fists, and her face turned pale. "Five thousand taels!"

Chen Zhao frowned, "Luoxue, don't you want to?"

Bai Luoxue realized that she had lost her composure and forced a pale smile.

"How could that be? I still think it's too little. When I see my sister in the future, I will make it up to her."

"Luoxue, you are kind-hearted, unlike Jiusu who is not at all unromantic." Chen Zhao thought of the stubborn Jiusu, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. He touched the belly of the woman in his arms, but thought, if he had not been caught and sent to fight, his child with Jiusu should have been born, right?

Behind him, Fangfei covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sir, you know my young lady is good, why don't you make her your wife?"

"Fangfei, don't talk nonsense. My sister might have just left because she was angry for a moment. She will definitely come back. Besides, it's not appropriate for me to take over right after my sister left." Bai Luoxue scolded softly.

After a moment, Chen Zhao said with satisfaction: "Luoxue, you are right. I have promised my mother that I will make you the general's wife in a year."

In just a few seconds, Bai Luoxue's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed unpredictably. She laughed dryly a few times, clutching her collar tightly, and said nervously.

"Oh, haha, so that's it. I, I, I don't really care about the status of being a wife or a concubine."

She touched her belly and suddenly had a reason.

"I'm just afraid that if the child is born, it will be a bastard. Will this joke be with me forever?"

Fang Fei fanned the flames, saying, "The old general will definitely be angry, young lady. He might even cut off all ties with you."

Chen Zhao straightened his back, thinking of the old general who always kept his word. Sweat broke out on his forehead. If his father-in-law knew that his precious daughter had been wronged, he would definitely be furious. Most people could not bear such anger.

Once, he drank some wine.

He was beaten with twenty military sticks. If it weren't for the falling snow, he would probably have fallen ill. Thinking of this, he softened his heart.

"Luoxue, don't worry. I'll discuss this with Mother in a few days." Chen Zhao held up three fingers and promised, "You need to rest well now. Don't worry about anything else. Leave it to me. Once you're stable, we'll return to Shengjing."

Bai Luoxue hugged him and acted coquettishly.

"Husband, please sleep with me. I can't sleep alone."

"Okay, I'll sleep with you." Chen Zhao looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and had long forgotten about Jiusu.

——

Jiusu pointed to the intersection ahead and said, "Chen Nan, just drop me off here."

After all, she didn't want Chen Zhao and others to know the address.

Chen Nan couldn't understand, "Jiusu, why did you give up the generous position of general and choose 5,000 taels? You should know that after becoming the general's wife and arriving in Shengjing, 500,000 taels won't be worth mentioning."

Jiusu held the luggage and shook his head.

"I don't like him and don't want to waste my time. Besides, I can earn 500,000 taels."

Chen Nan: “???”

He was confused. After hearing the words "earn fifty taels", he was no longer surprised why Jiusu left the general. Isn't it normal for someone who can say such crazy things to do some crazy things?

Jiusu clenched his fist and waved at the speeding carriage.

"What's that expression?"

Passing by Jiang's house, she paused and thought, forget it, she looked too haggard now, she would go see Jiang Jing after she had calmed down.

Chang Bo came back from buying groceries and passed by Jiusu. He felt familiar with it and fell back. He said excitedly: "Miss, you, you are back. It's really you! Is my uncle back?"

Jiusu shook his head. "I have successfully divorced him. Don't mention him anymore."

In other words, she didn't like Chen Zhao. Logically speaking, Chen Zhao was a scumbag who had betrayed the original owner and had had promiscuous relationships. The original owner was so chaste that she even threw herself into a well to avoid being sold. Even more so, if she saw Chen Zhao bringing back another woman, she probably wouldn't have survived.

Well, it’s useless to think about these things.

Zitan and Kou Shao were the happiest when they heard about the divorce. Zitan said, "We support all of your decisions, young lady. The bed is ready. You can go and have some rest."

Jiusu took off his shoes and socks, lay on the bed and entered the system.

I was shocked by the message bar that popped up. "More than 20 messages? Am I being fooled by the system?"
