Chapter 60 Late Night Visit

"If you don't go, you and Daya and the others will be in danger."

"What danger?" Lu Qiniang sat up suddenly. "Is being abandoned illegal?"

"Zhang Heyao will take action against you."

"My brother wouldn't do that," Lu Qiniang said. "It's not fair for him to divorce his wife and remarry, but he won't kill me."

"I'm not saying he'll kill you, but he'll control you."

"What are you holding me to?"

"Daya and the other three are still children of the Zhang family. Including your household registration, they are all in the Zhang family. You have to set up a female household and move out together." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Then can't I just go and talk to him?" Lu Qiniang was puzzled.

"He won't agree."

When Xiao Yan thought of the jealousy in Zhang Heyao's eyes when he took Lu Qiniang away, he knew that he would not let go.

"Abandoned mother, some men are like this. He can abandon you like a worn-out shoe, but he still requires you to stay with him forever."

Lu Qiniang fell silent.

The Zhang Heyao she knew seemed to be such a person.

Zhang Heyao has been domineering since he was a child, and he has an extraordinary possessiveness towards his own things, whether he likes them or not.

"If you go to him and he rejects you, you will be in a hurry and threaten him with the fact that he divorced his wife and remarried. He will be furious and the next step will be to kill him to silence him." Xiao Yan said knowingly.

"So, you have to strike first."

Zhang Heyao also understood Lu Qiniang.

He knew that Lu Qinniang had not only romantic feelings for him, but also familial love.

Even if the relationship between the man and the woman broke down, the affection accumulated from growing up together and having him called "brother" repeatedly would make Lu Qiniang show mercy to him.

"First, go and sue him for divorcing his wife and remarrying, and make the matter a big deal. Zhang Heyao will definitely come to you privately to reconcile. When the time comes, you can propose the conditions for household registration, and he will immediately agree."

Making the matter bigger is the best protection for Lu Qiniang and her daughter.

Otherwise, they might die at any time in Zhang Heyao's "moment of thought".

"Abandoned Mother, sometimes the other party won't let you go just because you want to keep things quiet. You can't judge others by yourself. Not everyone who hides a human skin can be considered a human being."

"Let me think about it." Lu Qiniang slowly lay down, thinking, "My whole day has been like a dream."

There is not even time to be sad, let alone time to "ruminate" on the joys and sorrows that have happened.

"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.

"Someone is looking for you?" Lu Qiniang looked at Xiao Yan.

"Maybe." Xiao Yan stood up and put on his clothes. "You lie down, I'll go take a look."

"I'll go with you and take a look. It doesn't seem like a good thing to be knocking like this in the middle of the night. Bah, bah, bah, what a bad mouth I am."

Xiao Yan handed her her clothes, then put on her shoes and walked out holding the lantern.

Lu Qinniang was a very impatient person. She walked out in slippers, buttoning her clothes.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Heyao standing outside, followed by Sun Shun.

Zhang Heyao's eyes swept over the two of them, his eyebrows and eyes were cold.

"Brother, why are you here?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Are you here to bring me a pig?"

Xiao Yan handed her the lantern, then unbuttoned and buttoned her shirt. "It's cold outside. Let's talk inside."

"No, I can do it myself."

"Master Zhang, please--" Xiao Yan said calmly.

Zhang Heyao sneered, without revealing any more emotion, and stepped in first, with Sun Shun following him.

Xiao Yan entered the house and picked up Ah Huang who was lying on the kang. "There's someone outside, and you didn't go out to guard the house, but instead you jumped onto the kang to sleep. That's too much."

He put Ah Huang in the doghouse in the basement - yes, Xiao Yan even prepared a place for Ah Huang to sleep in advance.

Then Xiao Yan stacked the two pillows together and began to fold the quilt.

Zhang Heyao's eyes fell on the big kang where two people were obviously sleeping together. He could no longer maintain his disguise and directly threw out a silver note and put it on the table.

Lu Qiniang said in surprise: "Brother, you're here to deliver my household registration right now? I was just thinking about it!"

"Here's two hundred taels of silver!" Zhang Heyao gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Qi Niang, as long as you don't marry, I will support you and your daughters with two hundred taels of silver every year. But if you marry someone else, don't even think about getting a cent from me!"

"Oh." Lu Qiniang pushed the banknote back. "Since I'm no longer your wife, I won't accept your money. Whether I get married or not is none of your business. Brother, there's something you said that's not true—"

"We have a marriage certificate. Although my family sold me back then, my father said that buying and selling is a low status, and I will be your wife, so we signed a marriage certificate."

"You said the marriage certificate, where is it?"

"I don't know. I can't read, so I don't know where the deeds and books at home are."

Zhang Heyao sneered, "Because there isn't any."

"Yes, I just don't know." Lu Qiniang insisted calmly, "The thing is definitely not in my hands, and I'm not blackmailing you with the marriage certificate. It's enough for both of us to know the truth."

"Brother, I don't want money. Just move my three daughters and me out of the Zhang family's household registration. I don't blame you. I really don't deserve you. I wish you and the princess's wife a happy and harmonious life."

"It seems that over the years, you've not only gained weight, but also grown a bit of brains." Zhang Heyao's eyes lingered on Xiao Yan. "You are a member of the Zhang family. I will not give you my household registration."

"How could you do this? You're being unreasonable!" Lu Qiniang said, "You married someone else, and you still want to dominate me? You don't like me and you despise me so much. Even though I'm not that great, you can't be so overbearing. I'm also a person, not your cat or dog."

Especially, she has three daughters.

The marriages of her three daughters are also very important.

She followed Zhang Heyao without any status, and let her daughter be called a "bastard" in the future?

"Please consider my words carefully. If you come back with me now, I will give you everything I promised you, including the marriages of your three daughters. I will find good husbands for them."

"No need." Daya opened the curtain and came in. "I would rather remain single for the rest of my life than have you arrange anything for me."

"I'm so pretty, how could I marry a good husband? Why do you have to meddle in my business?" Erya snorted. "You treat women like dogs, and then you come back and show off. Ugh!"

"Er Ya!" Lu Qiniang interrupted her, "Don't be rude to Master Zhang! Go back to your room!"

Now that she thought about it, there were already signs that Zhang Heyao was vindictive.

They can't offend Zhang Heyao too much.

"Brother," Lu Qiniang said, "give me two days to think about it. You don't have to look at Xiao Yan, we are innocent. How could Xiao Yan fall for me? He just took us in because he thought I saved her. You go back first, I will think it over and come find you."

Perhaps her words worked, Zhang Heyao stood up and was about to leave.

"Brother, the banknote." Lu Qiniang returned the banknote to him.

Zhang Heyao took the banknote, turned around and walked away.

Sun Shun looked a little apologetic, nodded, and left.

Erya felt so sad when she saw the silver bills "flying away".

"Xiao Yan, I'll listen to you." Lu Qiniang suddenly said something without any reason.
