Chapter 362 No One Leaves
Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai's heart stagnated.
He didn't care that the carriage was still moving and jumped out.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" The other officers were shocked.
Hu Dahai did not answer.
He stepped on the thick yellow sand and staggered towards Li.
Seeing him running towards her, Li's eyes turned red and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
"I'm not leaving!" Hu Dahai ran to her excitedly, gasping for breath.
That excited look was as if he had picked up gold.
Li didn't dare to look at him.
She bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "What about your mother?"
"I'll have someone bring her over!" Hu Dahai said immediately, "Although the journey is a bit far, my mother is in good health. It shouldn't be a problem for her to take a car and come here slowly."
"Maybe you don't know, but my mother's hometown is also Lanyang, and she has wanted to come back and visit for a long time."
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but want to laugh.
I originally thought Hu Dahai was just a filial son, but it seems he has to be a slave to his wife again.
Fortunately, Li has a good temper, otherwise she would have to kneel on the washboard every day.
Seeing the corners of the little woman's lips curled up, Xie Mubai shook his head helplessly.
Fortunately, she only had one sister-in-law left, otherwise she would have married off all the women in the Xie family.
Seeing Hu Dahai standing in front of Li like an obedient big dog, the officials looked at each other in shock.
"Then... we're not leaving either?" an officer asked hesitantly.
When the others heard this, they immediately said, "Why are we leaving?"
Most of them are orphans, and even if they return to the capital, they have no relatives, so it is better for them to stay in Lanyang County.
Although the conditions here are harsh, being able to be with the boss is more important to them than anything else.
So, an official led the carriage directly back to the backyard.
"Fourth brother, how could you do this!" Xie Murong suddenly stormed out from the crowd, glaring at Li fiercely. "Fourth brother's body is still warm, yet you're trying to remarry? Are you doing this to your fourth brother?"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but whisper.
No wonder Hu Dahai was so nice to Li along the way. It turned out that he had this in mind.
I originally thought that Li was an honest woman, but I didn't expect that like Zhao and Sun, she would hook up with another man so quickly.
"Who said Fourth Sister-in-law is going to remarry soon?" Chen Wan immediately retorted when she heard this, "Fourth Sister-in-law will naturally observe the filial piety she is supposed to observe. Isn't it okay for her to remarry after the mourning period is over?"
Seeing that she actually supported Li, Xie Murong was really angry.
Although this little woman has done her a favor, she will never give in on this matter.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you can't do this!" Her eyes were red, and she looked heartbroken. "Fourth brother died for the Great Wei. He was a great hero."
"How can his widow not remain faithful to him and marry someone else?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but frown.
I've known for a long time that this little saint is stubborn, and now it seems that she is quite stubborn!
"Why not?" Shen Wan barely suppressed her displeasure and asked, "The laws of the Wei Dynasty stipulate that widows can remarry."
"Since it's within the legal scope, why can't Fourth Sister-in-law remarry?"
"Also, don't use Fourth Brother to pressure others."
"If he has any opinions, he can speak up. You are not qualified to dictate what he wants to do. Do you have the qualifications?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Murong was so angry that he almost fainted.
Let fourth brother speak?
How to say it?
Do we need to invite him out from the underworld?
But I am just a sister-in-law and I can't make the decision on such matters.
Helplessly, she could only look up at Xie Mubai: "Fourth brother, are you really not going to take care of this?"
"I'm in charge." Xie Mubai said calmly, "I've already written the divorce papers for Fourth Brother. As long as Fourth Sister-in-law is willing, she can remarry at any time."
As he spoke, he took out a letter of divorce from his sleeve and handed it to Li.
Looking at the divorce letter in front of him, Li hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not take it.
She was already hesitant about this relationship, and now after hearing what Xie Murong said, she had even less courage to continue.
After Shen Wan read it, she took the divorce letter and stuffed it into her hand.
She knew that Li was too soft-hearted.
If I don't give her a push, this woman will definitely hide in her shell like a turtle, and she will probably never be able to accept Hu Dahai until her death.
"Fifth brother, how could you do this?" Xie Murong's face turned pale with anger, and he looked at Xie Mubai angrily, "Are you doing this to Fourth Brother?"
Xie Mubai frowned slightly, his cold gaze falling on her pale little face: "You keep saying it's for Fourth Brother, is that true?"
"When Concubine Zhou and her gang bullied Fourth Sister-in-law, why didn't you come out to protect her for Fourth Brother?"
"The reason you're so emotional is simply because you feel that Fourth Sister-in-law's remarriage has tarnished the reputation of the Zhenguogong Mansion, right?"
Xie Murong didn't feel strange when his secret was revealed.
She knew from a young age that her fifth brother was the smartest.
As soon as she wagged her tail, he knew what she wanted to do.
"That's right, I think this is shameful and a disgrace to our Duke's Mansion!" Xie Murong didn't intend to hide it anymore and said coldly, "Even if the Duke's Mansion has fallen to this point, we still can't lose our integrity!"
Seeing her so stubborn, Shen Wan couldn't help it.
"Really?" She said with a sullen face and a forced smile, "Xie Murong, there are some things I don't want to say."
After hearing this, Xie Murong's expression suddenly changed.
Although Shen Wan didn’t say it explicitly, she knew clearly what she wanted to say.
Yes, considering the fact that she was colluding with the third prince, what did Li’s remarriage matter?
She was stupid. She thought that since her fifth brother had forgiven her, her fifth sister-in-law would not care about it anymore.
But she was wrong.
From beginning to end, Shen Wan never forgave her.
Although Xie Murong was silent, the looks the other prisoners gave Li were no longer as friendly as before.
Although the Wei Dynasty allowed widows to remarry, in the eyes of these people, remarriage was always a shameful thing.
"Don't worry about what others say, just go your own way." Shen Wan took Li's hand and encouraged her, "Didn't everyone scold me at the beginning, but now the prince and I are fine, aren't we?"
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, I will always support you!"
After hearing this, Li nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Let's go, let's go back." Shen Wan ignored everyone and helped Li back to the post station.
The days that followed were not easy for Li.
Whenever someone sees her, there will always be people pointing fingers at her behind her back.
Especially Mrs. Feng San.
She had been whipped by Hu Dahai and hated him very much.
Seeing that he was no longer an official, he became even more arrogant.
"Fourth Madam, how long is your mourning period left?" asked Mrs. Feng San with a vicious look on her face.
Li didn't want to pay attention to her.
She was about to leave when she was stopped by Mrs. Feng San: "Hey, why are you leaving like this? Didn't you hear me ask you a question?"
"Do you think Hu Dahai is still an official and can always suppress us?"
Mrs. Li is a good-tempered person.
Faced with such an unreasonable shrew, she also became annoyed: "Sister San, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything." Madam Feng San didn't try to hide it and sneered, "It's just that Hu Dahai beat me several times back then. Since you're his woman, I'm going to settle that score with you!"
Li didn't want to get entangled with him.
She turned and went downstairs with her crutches.
Mrs. Feng San's eyes turned and she pushed Li's back with both hands.
