Chapter 15 The twists and turns of the separation
Zhu Mingqing covered his mouth and yawned. "Since everything is fine, let's go back and rest. We still have to travel tomorrow. If you are not tired, you can help the officials prepare dinner."
After saying that, she was about to take the children back to the house.
"Stop right there!" Tian's face was gloomy. She stared at Zhu Mingqing and said, "Zhu, are you refusing to hand over those two children today?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and shrugged: "No! Unless..."
Her voice gradually lengthened.
Tian: "Unless what?"
Luo Xiao and Luo Fu's breathing quickened, and their eyes changed when they looked at Zhu Mingqing.
Sure enough, she would abandon them as always.
The group of people gathered outside the door all looked at Zhu Mingqing, waiting for her to tell them what was going on.
Zhu Mingqing pursed his lips and smiled, jokingly saying, "Unless the sun rises from the west!"
After saying this, he leisurely pointed to the setting sun.
Luo Xiao and Luo Fu were stunned. This was different from what they expected.
"Pfft——" Wu couldn't help laughing.
Third Master Luo Wentao nudged her with his elbow to remind her to be careful.
Tian glared at her third daughter-in-law, what a disgusting thing.
Wu covered her mouth and hid behind her husband.
A head popped out and continued to watch the fun.
Tian looked at Old Prince Luo and said coldly, "See? This is the house you've been so obsessed with protecting. What else do you have to say?"
Old Prince Luo was silent.
Tian's eyes swept over everyone in the main house one by one: "Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me."
She took out the paper that had been prepared long ago. Zhu Mingqing had sharp eyes and immediately saw the word "separation" clearly written on it.
Sure, Luo Huai, did you do it?
"Old family, this is the family division agreement. If you don't hand over the two children today, you will get out of the Luo family!" Tian was firm in her attitude.
Zhu Mingqing was overjoyed.
Just go away, she can't wait for you to do so.
It’s true...there’s always a silver lining.
However, you can't show too much happiness, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.
She looked deeply shocked, but said something completely different: "If this is what my mother wants, I am willing to accept it."
Tian was stunned: ...
Shouldn't he beg for mercy on his knees, repent and ask her not to divide the family?
But it's great that she is willing, so she doesn't have to think of other ways.
Zhu Mingqing reached out to take the agreement. It was clearly written on the agreement that the eldest wife would be almost completely kicked out of the house, and her life, death, illness and old age would no longer be related to the Luo family.
Ever since Tian found out that the silver had not been shipped out, the first thing she thought about when she woke up was how she would live in the future.
She also had two hundred taels of silver notes hidden in the soles of her shoes, and her two daughters-in-law's families also gave her some money, but the total amount was only one thousand taels of silver.
They have old and young people, this money is definitely not enough.
Therefore, I have to get rid of the burden of being the eldest wife first, and then find other ways to make a living.
Tian was just feeling worried when she learned that several children were fighting.
This is a good opportunity to use this matter to test the old man.
She never expected that Zhu would agree to split the family.
After all, Zhu didn’t really care about those children in the past, but I didn’t expect that this time she would rather split up the family than hand them over!
Just when Zhu Mingqing and Tian thought they would separate smoothly, Old Prince Luo suddenly said, "I won't allow it!"
Both of them frowned.
Old Prince Luo looked at Tian, turned around and went into the house: "Come in with me!"
Tian curled her lips and said, "Just go inside. Don't think she will change her mind!"
After a while, crackling sounds were heard in the house, and the two of them broke out into the biggest quarrel in history.
Tian roared, "If you don't agree, I'll die here today!"
Outside, the sky gradually darkened.
Song looked at Zhu Mingqing resentfully and said, "Father and Mother are arguing over you, you must be very proud of it. Zhu Mingqing, you just promised Mother that we would split the family property. If you have the guts, just sign the agreement. If you don't dare to sign, kowtow and apologize immediately. Maybe I'll even plead for you."
"Yes, the road ahead is very difficult. Tingshan's wife, you should apologize and hand over the two children."
"We are all family. As a grandmother, I just want to teach my children and I will definitely not make things difficult for them."
Others tried to persuade him, but Zhu Mingqing leaned against the doorway and said in a light voice, "It was my mother's wish to divide the family, and I dare not disobey."
Her pitiful appearance made Luo Xiao begin to regret it.
He didn't expect that this time his mother would accept the division of the family for them.
No matter how ignorant he was, he knew the consequences of exile, and he could lose his life if he was not careful.
It would be really tragic if they were separated.
"Brother, why don't you hand me over to grandma?" He looked up at Luo Huai. "I'm tough, so the worst that can happen is a beating. I'll take my little sister's punishment for her."
Luo Huai looked at his third brother who was frightened by his mother and curled the corners of his lips.
The family is obviously rich, but it is hard not to think too much when the mother is like this.
Why did he feel that his mother did it on purpose?
"Don't worry, mother and I will take care of everything."
Luo Xiao's face was full of confusion: "But..."
"No buts!" Luo Huai said confidently, "Don't you believe me, brother? We will definitely reach Guancheng safely."
Luo Xiao's eyes turned slightly red and he nodded heavily.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never be impulsive again.
…
The second floor of the station.
Seeing that the big show outside was about to end, Chang Wucai said, "Boss, dinner is ready, let's go downstairs."
Captain Liang nodded and asked as they walked, "Does Madam Zhu want to split up the family business?"
Chang Wu chuckled and said, "I think he definitely does."
Captain Liang also laughed and asked, "Do you think she can succeed?"
"It's hard to say." Chang Wu couldn't figure out the twists and turns of these wealthy families. "The old prince has already spoken. It's hanging!"
Captain Liang laughed heartily: "Although it is difficult, there may be a turning point tomorrow."
Chang Wu's curiosity piqued. "What's the turning point? Boss, do you know anything?"
Captain Liang: "I don't know, but... Madam Zhu is not someone who will easily accept her fate."
She was able to marry into the only royal palace of a different surname in the Southern Xia Dynasty as a merchant girl, and she also had exclusive access to General Zhengyuan's backyard, becoming the sole mistress.
Although he is not liked by the old princess, he has been able to live peacefully until now.
Even in difficult situations, he will not complain and will remain calm when faced with danger.
She doesn't look like a noble lady living in the backyard at all.
…
The Song family is still chattering here.
Zhu Mingqing didn't want to pay any attention to her at all, but the more she talked, the more excited she became, which made him feel annoyed.
When she saw Captain Liang walking towards her from a distance, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
Song was talking excitedly when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
I only heard the other party say earnestly: "Sister-in-law, I know you are hungry, but Captain Liang has done his best. Besides, if you are hungry, you can buy more."
Song shook him off with all her might, saying disdainfully, "Don't touch me. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have Captain Liang as your backer. Before, he wasn't even worthy enough to carry my shoes!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd that was lively just now suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Mingqing also took the opportunity to stay away from her.
When Song turned her head, she was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
She frantically explained, "Captain Liang, I was just talking nonsense. I'm not worthy. I'm not even worthy of carrying your shoes."
