Chapter 59 Let's Divorce

Shen Shilang bowed to Madam Wei and said, "Shilang came here today to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Mrs. Wei was happy at first.

Shen Shilang is finally leaving the Wei family! Shen Shilang has always been like a thorn in her flesh in the Wei family, visible but incapable of removal.

Even though Shen Shilang never tried to make his presence felt in front of her, she couldn't feel at ease since she knew he was there.

Wei Zhaoxian even sent Wei Jianming to the army for Shen Shilang.

Mrs. Wei's hatred for Shen Shilang reached its peak.

Now hearing that he was leaving, Mrs. Wei was so happy that she almost jumped up.

But after a few seconds, she suddenly calmed down and became a little panicked.

Wei Zhaoxian would never agree to this! "Why do you want to leave suddenly?" Mrs. Wei frowned, "But my family has been unkind to you?"

If Wei Zhaoxian thought that she was the one who drove Shen Shilang away...

She will not be spared! She just wanted to arrange a marriage for Shen Shilang, but Shen Shilang was leaving? Madam Wei thought to herself and heard Shen Shilang say to the matchmaker, "You should understand what Madam Wei means. I am just a guest at the Wei Mansion, not a member of the Wei Mansion. Madam Wei and I are not related, and she has no right to arrange a marriage for me. If you want to propose marriage, you should come directly to me. It's useless to go to Madam Wei."

Mrs. Wei: “!!!”

Only then did Mrs. Wei realize that she had said the wrong thing just now.

Shen Shilang was actually waiting for her here!

"No..." Madam Wei quickly changed her words, "Since you are the general's cousin, how can you say that you have no relationship with me?"

"My parents have passed away long ago, and they are not surnamed Wei." Shen Shilang said calmly, "I am grateful to the general for taking care of me and giving me shelter in the Wei family over the years. But I am not a member of the Wei family after all, so my relatives can't really cause trouble to Madam Wei."

"That's right!" Su Jinshi said angrily, "If that girl is so good, introduce her to Wei Jianming!"

Hearing Su Jinshi's voice transmission, Shen Shilang couldn't help laughing.

"Shen has been living in the Wei Mansion for many years and has been blessed by the Wei Mansion. Now that I have won the title of Jieyuan, I should be independent." Shen Shilang said in a deep voice, "So I came here today to say goodbye to my wife."

After that, Shen Shilang said to the matchmaker: "Don't bother Madam Wei with the marriage. If you have any questions, just come to me directly."

After saying this, Shen Shilang strode away.

Su Jinshi hurriedly asked: "Shen Shilang, are you really going to leave?"

"It's time to leave." Shen Shilang explained in a low voice, "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to leave the Wei family. Now is a good opportunity to leave, and I can also separate the Wei Mansion from me. If I encounter suspicion, at least I can protect the Wei Mansion a little bit."

Su Jinshi understood, "You are thinking that if someone investigates you in the future, and if the investigation leads to the Wei Mansion, it is because Madam Wei wants to force a bad marriage on you, and you leave the Wei Mansion to avoid the conspiracy. Therefore, it is considered to be a break with the Wei family. As long as your true identity is not found out, the enemy only targets you, and the Wei family will not be in danger."

"Since General Wei saved me, he has already risked the death of his entire family. There is not much I can do. I just hope that I can protect them before I succeed in my revenge." Shen Shilang said.

When he succeeds in his revenge, there will be no need to protect him anymore.

This means that the current emperor is dead and no one can harm the Wei family anymore.

Shen Shilang went back to the courtyard to pack his luggage. This kind of thing needed to be done without further delay.

Shen Shilang didn't have much luggage, and he didn't take away any of the silver given to him by the Wei Mansion.

What he took away was some money he earned from writing letters, copying books and painting for others.

Just after packing up, Shen Shilang was about to leave with his luggage when Butler Ning hurried over, "Master Shen! Are you really leaving?"

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, Steward Ning." Shen Shilang said, "Especially today. If it weren't for Steward Ning, I'm afraid I would be in trouble. I left in a hurry today and couldn't thank Steward Ning properly. But I will remember your kindness today and will repay you one day."

"It's not worth mentioning." Butler Ning waved his hands hurriedly, "It's just that the general has returned to the mansion and is talking to his wife in the main courtyard. Why don't you talk to the general first?"

"Okay." Shen Shilang also felt that he should say goodbye to Wei Zhaoxian.

Butler Ning was delighted, thinking that he had persuaded Shen Shilang.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shilang did not put down the bag and continued to carry it towards the main courtyard.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard Wei Zhaoxian's angry voice: "I have long given up expecting you to be nice to Shi Lang. I just ask you to pretend that he doesn't exist and just live your life peacefully."

"Who knew you couldn't even do this and you're plotting against his marriage!" Wei Zhaoxian said angrily.

"How can this be called calculation? How can the girl from the county magistrate's family not be worthy of him?" Madam Wei said stubbornly, "He himself knows that he has no parents and is all alone. It's good enough that others don't dislike him!"

Wei Zhaoxian tried his best to restrain himself. He took a few deep breaths before saying, "I just don't deserve him! Not to mention the county magistrate, even the prefect's daughter is not worthy of him! Not to mention that she is not the county magistrate's daughter, but his niece, and her family is in business!"

"In your eyes, Shen Shilang is so good that he is not even worthy of the daughter of a prefect. But in other people's eyes, it is not the case!" Mrs. Wei felt that Wei Zhaoxian did not make a fair judgment at all. "He is only a provincial champion, not a champion! What's wrong with being a county magistrate? It is not easy to be a county magistrate. Besides, his niece's family is in business, which can just support his career as an official, right?"

"Given Shen Shilang's family background, I chose him after careful selection. He doesn't appreciate it, and you blame me!" Madam Wei was still shouting, making an innocent argument, "Do you know how much trouble I put into finding a suitable marriage for Shen Shilang?"

Wei Zhaoxian sneered, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Don't you know that when Shilang passes the imperial examination, with his character, appearance and talent, how many noble families in the capital will be willing to marry him?"

Madam Wei was stunned by the question. She was silent for a long time before she said, "But he is alone, without a father or a mother. How could a nobleman like him? Marrying him will not help in the court!"

"He is a top scholar. Do you think he will be interested in her?" Wei Zhaoxian looked at Mrs. Wei disappointedly.

Mrs. Wei was frightened by his disappointed look. Wei Zhaoxianhai had never looked at her like that before.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help showing panic on her face, and then she heard Wei Zhaoxian throw out a thunderous sound, "Let's get divorced."

"What did you say?" Madam Wei screamed like crazy, "Just because I want to find a marriage for Shen Shilang that hasn't even happened yet, you want to divorce me!"

"You can ignore him, but don't plot against him." Wei Zhaoxian said, "You treated him so harshly before, time and time again, and I let it go every time. Now you are even plotting his marriage, if I still let it go, I won't be able to face his elders in my grave!"
