Xu Ruyun: "Yes! I'm heartbroken! Qi Jiating, you've disappointed me so much! I need a divorce, I must get a divorce today!"
Everyone turned to look at Xu Ruyun, casting sympathetic glances at her.
Grand Tutor Chen picked up a document and hurried over.
"Excuse me, excuse me, I've found my document. But what's going on here? Don't look at what you shouldn't see!"
When Grand Tutor Chen saw Xiao Zhenzhen and the other woman, who were dressed in disheveled clothes, he quickly covered his eyes.
[Haha! Grand Tutor Chen, what are you pretending for? Wasn't this all your doing? Luckily you helped my mother plan all this, otherwise when would anyone ever know about her grievances?]
Although Xu Ruyun pretended to be very sad, she was actually quite relieved inside.
Upon hearing what Qiuqiu said, she cast a grateful glance at Grand Tutor Chen.
She was just worried about not having a chance to deal with the couple, and now, the opportunity has come.
Xu Ruyun: "I want a divorce! I can't live like this anymore!"
Qi Jiating quickly got dressed and tried to coax Xu Ruyun: "Yun'er, I acted impulsively today. There are so many people here, let's not let them laugh at us."
Xu Ruyun: "A joke? Aren't I a joke too? All these years, I've worked so hard for the Qi family, and this is what I've gotten in return! Qi Jiating, tell me, are those two children of hers yours?"
Now that things have come to this, Qi Jiating no longer wants to hide anything.
So he said, "Yes, they are my biological children!"
The crowd sighed again upon hearing this.
Xu Ruyun: "So, you two were already together a long time ago? And you even had two children outside of marriage?"
Qi Jiating nodded.
Xu Ruyun: "Back then, you promised me that I would be your only woman. It seems you were lying to me then! So I'm divorcing you now. I feel disgusted even a day longer as your wife! Bring me a pen!"
The paper and pen were quickly handed to Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun turned around and saw that it was Chen Taifu who handed her the paper and pen.
Grand Tutor Chen nodded to her.
Xu Ruyun wrote the divorce papers without hesitation, then threw the pen at Qi Jiating's face and turned to leave.
Qi Jiating got ink splattered all over his face from the pen, which made onlookers laugh more and more.
Qi Jiating didn't even bother to wipe his clothes before tidying them up and catching up with Xu Ruyun.
In the hall, Old Madam Qi also heard about the artificial hill.
Qi Jiating: "Yun'er, you can't abandon me, you can't abandon the entire Qi family!"
Xu Ruyun: "Yes, although we are divorced! But I'm taking the children with me. Anyway, the children are either disabled or mentally challenged, so they're no longer of any use to you."
Madam Qi: "Good!"
Xu Ruyun: "In that case, let the elders be our witnesses!"
Madam Qi agreed very readily: "Okay!"
Qi Jia tugged at his mother's sleeve: "Mother—"
Madam Qi: "Anyway, you've all lost your feelings for each other. Now that she's gone, isn't it perfect for Zhenzhen to take over as the mistress of the house?"
Qi Jiating fell silent.
[Does that scumbag father really want Mom to leave? Mom, let's go! Don't forget to take all your dowry with you when you leave!]
Xu Ruyun thought to herself: Qiuqiu is right. I should take my things with me when I leave; I can't let them benefit from this.
Madam Qi: "Elders are here today. I ask you to witness that my son, Qi Jiating, and Xu Ruyun are getting a divorce. From now on, they are free to marry as they please."
Grand Tutor Chen, who was listening nearby, was secretly delighted.
Madam Qi gave a wink, and the Qi family obediently signed and pressed their fingerprints on the divorce papers.
Madam Qi: "Now, I also ask the elders to remove Xu Ruyun's name from the family genealogy!"
Elder: "This..."
When Xu Ruyun was the matriarch, she treated these elders well.
Every time they came, Xu Ruyun would pay out of her own pocket, taking money from her dowry to give the elders large red envelopes.
Therefore, the elders looked at each other, all in a dilemma.
Others were talking about it.
"This really shows how things change when someone leaves!"
"The tea gets cold when the person leaves. The person hasn't even left yet, and the tea is already cold."
Xu Ruyun calmly said, "Alright! In that case, I'll take all four children with me. Elders, please remove these four children from the family register as well!"
The surrounding area was in an uproar.
"What? Did I hear that right? Removing children from the family tree? That's unheard of!"
"Yes, I've heard of divorces. But I've never heard of taking children with you when you divorce."
Qi Jiating: "Ruyun, we're already divorced. How are you going to live alone with four children?"
Xu Ruyun: "You don't need to worry about that!"
Madam Qi: "Xu Ruyun, why are you doing this?"
Xu Ruyun: "Madam Qi, my children are all useless. My eldest son is now crippled, my second son is mentally challenged, my third son is good-for-nothing, and my youngest daughter is just learning to speak. They are of no use to the Qi family now."
Besides, after I take them away, there won't be anyone left vying with that woman's child for the position of heir apparent, right?
This was exactly what Xiao Zhenzhen wanted to hear, and she pestered Old Madam Qi and Qi Jiating to agree.
After thinking for a while, Madam Qi said, "Alright! Elders, since she insists on this, let's do as she wishes!"
The elders shook their heads, sighed, and helplessly took out the family genealogy, crossing Xu Ruyun and the children's names off the genealogy.
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Xu Ruyun with a smug smile.
Madam Qi: "I will have to trouble the elders to add Xiao Zhenzhen and my son's two children to the family genealogy and officially establish Qi Gaoming as the heir!"
The elders were also shocked and all looked at Xu Ruyun.
Old Madam Qi pretended to be angry and tapped the floor with her cane.
"What are you looking at her for?! She's no longer a member of the Qi family! By the way, the Qi family is still lacking a matriarch, so today we will officially recognize Xiao Zhenzhen as the matriarch of the Qi family and add her to the family tree!"
Elders: "This..."
Qi Jiating: "Hurry up, do as Mother says right away!"
The elders could only sigh and add Xiao Zhenzhen's and her two children's names to the family genealogy.
Hmph! I hope you won't regret what you've done today!
