Chapter 54 Divorce Letter
After her affair was discovered, Sun pretended to cry at first, but when she heard that she didn't have to go to the Northwest anymore, she soon smiled like a flower.
Although the hunter was ugly and poor, at least I could live a stable life by following him.
Early the next morning, she set up the scene in the lobby as the hostess, and ordered the seven or eight waiters of the inn around in circles.
Dabao lowered his head and desperately stuffed the rice in the bowl into his mouth.
Although Erbao didn't eat anything, he just watched the waiters hanging lanterns with great interest.
Seeing this, Li hurriedly fed him.
"Here, this is a reward for you!" Seeing Xie Mubai, Sun immediately put on a condescending attitude and handed over a meat bun. "Since you were once my brother-in-law, I'll give you a bun."
"What a pity! You'll be leaving soon, and you probably won't be able to eat such delicious buns again."
Seeing that this woman started to act crazy and commit suicide again, even though Xie Mubai didn't get angry, Shen Wan couldn't sit still.
"You think you can bribe us with just a bun?" She squinted her eyes and sneered with contempt, "Without a hundred or eighty taels of silver, we won't drink at this wedding!"
Upon hearing this, Sun became angry.
"It would be better if you didn't come!" She stiffened her neck and cursed viciously, "I'm not stupid, how could I possibly pay you for it!"
Not to mention Sun, everyone thought Shen Wan was mentally ill, even Hu Dahai frowned.
If they had 180 taels of silver, why would the mother and son settle down in the mountains?
"Don't be so ungrateful!" Shen Wan rolled her eyes and looked at her provocatively, "I'm giving you a discount because you were once my third sister-in-law."
Seeing that the ugly woman didn't seem to be joking, the hunter also got angry: "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask us for money?"
"Oh my God, Third Sister-in-law, you didn't tell me, did you? You don't have the divorce certificate in your hand!" After hearing this, Shen Wan pretended to be surprised and looked at Sun.
Upon hearing this, the scene fell into a dead silence.
They only remembered that the Duke's Mansion was defeated, but forgot that Xie Mubai was still alive.
According to the customs of the Wei Dynasty, if a widow wanted to remarry, she had to have a letter of divorce from her husband's family.
Otherwise, she would have to remain faithful to her late husband and live a lonely life!
If Xie Mubai didn't sign the divorce agreement on behalf of his deceased brother, today's wedding would definitely be canceled.
"Brother Gou, what should we do?" Sun panicked and immediately looked at the hunter.
Although he had his eyes on Xie Murong at first, after discovering that Sun was a virgin, the hunter was quite satisfied with the marriage. After all, she was really good-looking.
But if it requires money, then he still has to consider it.
She's just a convict, how can she be worth so much money?
"You'd better talk to mother about this!" He turned away with a gloomy face.
When Sun saw this, she quickly chased after him.
Seeing this, Xie Mubai winked at Shen Wan.
Shen Wan understood and followed quietly.
In the room, Sun was crying bitterly, while the hunter just stood aside coldly and had no intention of speaking for her.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, the problem is that I really don't have that much money." The old housekeeper said coldly with a dark face, "You've been in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for many years, don't you have any private money saved?"
When Sun heard this, she cried even more sadly: “If I had money, would I still be bullied by that bitch Shen Wan?”
"You don't have any, but your cheap mother-in-law does!" The old housekeeper smiled coldly and began to set a trap for her. "When she was resting in my room that night, she said she had a lot of things in her hands."
"She also said that she had given most of her things to her daughter-in-law for safekeeping."
Upon hearing this, Sun was so angry that she almost fainted.
"How could she do that!" Her face flushed, and she flew into a rage. "This woman ate and used my money all the way, but after getting the money she gave it to someone else!"
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have bothered her!"
After hearing this, the old housekeeper and his son couldn't help but look at each other.
It seems that the thing is not in the hands of this stupid woman.
"Then who do you think she will give the money to?" the old housekeeper asked calmly, "Since you are my future daughter-in-law, I must seek justice for you."
Sun thought about it.
Zhao was foolish and stupid, so Aunt Zhou naturally would not give her anything. Li was timid and cowardly, and was a hopeless case, so she was not someone who could handle a big responsibility.
Apart from them, the woman seemed to have no one else to trust.
"Forget it if you don't know." Seeing her bewildered face, the old housekeeper sneered, "Go back to your room and rest first. Ergou and I will discuss it again."
Although Sun didn't want to leave, she could only lower her head and walk out because she could see that they were in a bad mood.
"Dad, are we overthinking this?" the hunter asked, lowering his voice. "We have the saltpeter mine now, so even without the map, it's fine."
"If we don't tell him, the Third Prince won't know!"
Saltpeter?
Upon hearing these two words, Shen Wan suddenly remembered the large amount of gunpowder in the cave on the mountain.
No wonder Mr. Lin was so nervous. Saltpeter is an important raw material for making gunpowder. If this map falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would be a major blow to the Third Prince.
What does a prince need so much gunpowder for?
Even if it's not said, everyone can guess the answer.
The old housekeeper's face darkened and he cursed, "What an idiot!"
"I'm too lazy to explain to you. Since that stupid woman doesn't know either, let's just destroy them all together."
Although the map cannot be found, if all these people are dead, no one will know about this matter.
After hearing this, the hunter nodded quickly.
"Is there anything left?" the old butler asked coldly.
After hearing this, the hunter quickly opened the cabinet and took out a large paper bag.
The old housekeeper looked at it and a sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Let's go and tell Mrs. Sun that the wedding will continue..."
"Um... can Sun stay?" the hunter asked hesitantly.
Although I can't say I like her, it seems nice to marry a lady from a prominent family.
The old housekeeper's face darkened: "Do you want a woman or your life?"
After hearing this, the hunter stopped talking.
He put the paper package back into the cabinet and followed the old butler out.
Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
He accidentally kicked over the chamber pot next to him.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound in the room.
"who?"
The old butler turned around suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his turbid eyes.
Shen Wan was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
Looking at the chamber pot that was kicked over, the old butler slowly stepped forward and looked around vigilantly.
Just when he walked in front of Shen Wan, he suddenly stopped.
They were so close that he could even clearly see the pores on the human skin mask on his face.
Looking at his sharp eyes, Shen Wan's heart was in her throat.
No way?
This space is isolated from the outside world, and it is impossible for outsiders to see themselves.
Could it be that this old butler has special abilities and can sense his own presence?
