Chapter 47 I'm annoyed, let's split up.
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Min Hui immediately knelt down at Min Qiao's feet and reached out to hug her legs.
Min Qiao turned her body and moved her legs away, leaving Min Hui empty-handed.
Min Hui's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in mid-air for a long while before he withdrew it.
He knelt obediently, looking up at Madam Min with a guilty expression and sincere eyes. "Mother, I didn't mean to blame you. I was just in a moment of anger and spoke rashly. Please don't be angry with me."
Looking at Min Hui, who was apologizing to her with great emotion and eloquence, Min Qiaoshi's eyes and heart were suddenly filled with disgust at this moment.
In her past life, she really hadn't realized that Min Hui was such a flexible and capable person, and also a very good actor.
If Min Hui hadn't stood in front of her hospital bed and told her that he had hated her since childhood and wished he could tear her to pieces and devour her alive, she would never have known that Min Laosan, whom she had raised with such care as her own son, was actually a ruthless person!
Originally, she only wanted to stay out of it, ignore it, and let the Min family fend for themselves. But at this moment, Madam Min Qiao felt extremely annoyed and suddenly didn't want to deal with him anymore.
"Let's split up!"
The words just slipped out.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The first person to react was Yang.
She looked at Madam Min with delight, her eyes shining, "Madam, are you serious? Is it really possible to separate the family?"
Immediately afterwards, Madam Wu looked at her with a look of surprise and delight, "Mother, are you kidding me?"
Min Qiao looked at Yang with some surprise.
It's normal for the Wu family to want to divide the family property. But why does the Yang family also want to divide the family property?
In her view, a son of a concubine like the second wife could only have convenience in his actions outside the Marquis's mansion by staying there and using the name of the Marquis's son.
If they were to separate from the Marquis's mansion, the second branch would be nothing. Their lives wouldn't necessarily be any better than if they stayed in the Marquis's mansion.
She originally thought that since there were only three brothers in the Marquis's mansion, they should work together to protect the mansion.
Living together without separating the family, the three brothers would see each other all the time, which would make their relationship closer and allow them to help each other out when difficulties arise.
But seeing the longing look on Yang's face, Min Qiao knew that she had only been wishful thinking all along.
Just then, Min Hui seemed to realize something, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted as he roared, "I won't separate the family! Why should we separate the family? What right do we have to separate the family?"
"Mother! Madam! Madam Min! You've got a clever plan!"
"You went to great lengths to steal everything from me and my mother, and now that your son has secured his title in the Marquis's mansion, you want to throw me out?"
"Ha! You're dreaming!"
"Want to separate from the family? Fine! Give us back everything you took from my mother and me!"
At this moment, Min Hui finally stopped suppressing his emotions and roared out the resentment, hatred, and truest thoughts in his heart with all his might.
Since feigning innocence and cleverness won't get him the results he wants, and since Madam Min Qiao has turned ruthless and wants to get rid of him...
Then he'd tear off all pretenses and have a huge fight with her. Let's see how she'll face the world's scorn then!
Compared to Min Hui's frenzied state, Ming appeared much calmer.
She slowly stood up, looking down at Min Hui, and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "What? What about a title? Isn't your mother's memorial tablet still enshrined in the Min family's ancestral hall?"
"Did someone strip her of her status as the first wife? Or was she taken as a concubine by the first wife while she was alive?"
Madam Min Qiao sneered, "And you, you keep saying I stole everything from you? Then let me ask you, what do you think I stole from you?"
"Is it a title of nobility?"
Madam Min Qiao scoffed, "Ha, the heir to the Marquis's mansion was personally chosen by the old Marquis! Do you think I can influence the old Marquis's decision?"
"In the end, I'm just a concubine. Even your mother can't influence the old marquis's decision. Do you expect me to fight for your title?"
"Don't forget, your mother passed away when you were just over two years old! When your mother was alive, the old Marquis never even considered making you his heir. What makes you think that after your mother's death, the old Marquis would still remember her kindness and make you his heir?"
“You always feel that I owe you and your mother something, which is simply because you think that I was able to marry into the Marquis’s family and be promoted to the position of official wife, all thanks to your mother.”
"But don't you think about it? Even without me, there would have been someone else! Without me, your mother might not even have had the chance to give birth to you!"
"Your mother only brought me into the household to help her consolidate her position! Ask yourself honestly, do I really owe her anything?"
"As for the matter of making her the official wife, that has nothing to do with your mother."
"I came to the Marquis's mansion with a large dowry to help them out of their immediate crisis!"
"To put it bluntly, I am the one who made the greatest contribution to the Xuanping Marquis's mansion! Without the dowry I brought into the mansion, it's hard to say whether the Xuanping Marquis's mansion would even be where it is today!"
"I married into the Marquis's mansion, saved it from danger, and gave birth to its eldest son!"
"Even without your mother's dying request, the old Marquis would have definitely made me his official wife after her death!"
"You're saying it was your mother who helped me?"
"Ha, I was going to say that it was your mother who was trying to repay a debt of gratitude and wanted me to take care of you after she died, so she said that on purpose!"
Min Qiao's words were reasonable, well-founded, and resounding, leaving Wu and Yang speechless and quietly covering their mouths in disbelief.
Min Hui was so shocked by these words that he couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long silence, he shook his head frantically and stubbornly said, "You're lying! You're talking nonsense! You're twisting the truth and making up stories! My mother is the first wife, I am the legitimate son, and the Xuanping Marquis's mansion should have been mine! It was you and your son who stole everything that should have been mine! You are all robbers!..."
Madam Min looked at Min Hui coldly, her eyes filled with sarcasm.
Just as you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, in Min Hui's deeply ingrained belief, he always firmly believed that his mother was the first wife, he was the legitimate son, and the Marquis's mansion should belong to him. All other external factors were not within his consideration.
In this situation, Madam Min Qiao was too lazy to waste words with him. She glanced at Madam Wu and Madam Yang and said, "You should also go back and tell the eldest and second eldest sons what I mean. Tell them to arrange their duties in advance, ask for leave from their superiors, and separate the family in three days."
"Yes, I will definitely explain it to the Marquis." Madam Wu replied happily.
Madam Yang was also all smiles. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go back and talk to Second Master and Aunt about the division of the family property. It won't affect the division of the family property in three days."
Madam Min nodded expressionlessly and waved for them to leave: "Alright, all of you, go."
"yes."
"Daughter-in-law, take your leave."
Yang and Wu left happily.
Because of the division of the family property, Yang had even forgotten the original purpose of coming to see Min Qiao, let alone the matter of monthly allowances!
Wu completely forgot her original intention of pleading poverty to Min Qiao and incidentally throwing Min Hui's marriage to Min Qiao.
Only after the two had left did Min Hui slowly stand up, looking at Min Qiaoshi with icy eyes, and ask in a chilling tone, "Do you really think you can throw me out of the Marquis's mansion as easily as throwing away trash?"
