Chapter 284 Xiu Cui
Song Yongnian thought for a moment and took out the food sent from his hometown. "This time my wife prepared a bunch of dried meat and braised meat. Let's eat this. This is not bad either."
Everyone treasures the things sent from their hometown. They usually take them out and chew a few when they miss home, and save them to eat for a year.
Su Sheng patted Song Yongnian on the shoulder, took out his share, and laughed, "We are all family, what you have I have too, if we talk about our tent, only Shen Yi has more things, the others probably have about the same amount."
"That's right! They are all made by sister Su Tai. They were just sent to us through another person." Shen Dagou said honestly.
Everyone else couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The depressed mood has dissipated a lot.
Shen Yi didn't return to the tent with Pan Wanli until the fifth day of the new year.
Patrolling is hard work, and the soldiers who have been out for such a long time can have a good rest for three days without having to go to the training ground.
As soon as Shen Yi changed his clothes and lay down, Su Sheng and the others came back from training.
A group of people gathered around his bed and talked about what had happened during this period.
"General Cen probably took a fancy to Zhu Yixuan as his son-in-law. When Miss Cen left the military camp that day, Zhu Yixuan followed her to see her off. No other captain had such treatment." Su Sheng said in a low voice with a serious expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent curtain was opened, and Zhu Yixuan walked in with high spirits, "Brother Shen, you are finally back!"
The others quietly dispersed to both sides, and Shen Yi also got up from the bed, "Mr. Zhu, what's the matter?"
Zhu Yixuan looked at the others and hesitated to speak.
Shen Yi understood and let Su Sheng and the others go out first.
Zhu Yixuan's smile deepened a little, and he clasped his fists with Shen Yi and said thoughtfully: "Brother Shen, there is something I think I should tell you."
Shen Yi looked like he was listening attentively.
Zhu Yixuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "To be honest, General Cen's daughter came to visit her relatives in the military camp a few years ago. General Cen intends to marry his daughter to me. I have already written a letter back home to tell my parents and ask them to arrange it for me."
Shen Yi's expression changed slightly, "Mr. Zhu, if I remember correctly, your original wife seems to still be here."
Zhu Yixuan sneered indifferently, "Yes, Cui has always been here, so I plan to divorce her."
Shen Yi's face showed a little more anger.
Zhu Yixuan looked into the distance with a deep gaze, "Cui is my first wife, I respect her, and for her sake, I followed her wishes and did not dare to have a concubine's child. I know her methods and I also know that she cannot tolerate others. The reason why I secretly placed Yunyun in the concubine's room was because I thought that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.
After all, the legitimate son is weak and Cui is unable to have another child. I always have to consider the Zhu family. Kang Cheng is a good child, smart and healthy, but it's a pity that Cui can't tolerate him.
After I left Zhaohua County, Cui used all her connections to find out the whereabouts of the mother and son, intending to kill them and adopt the child of the Cui family to raise under her lap.
My Zhu family is not without relatives. We all know what she is planning. My parents have long wanted to divorce her, but I stopped them. Now I am just going with the flow."
In the past, he had been dragging his feet on dealing with Cui for the sake of Zhu family's reputation and to appease Cui family. But things are different now. In order to curry favor with the big tree of Cen family, he must cut the Gordian knot.
Shen Yi laughed angrily, "Mr. Zhu, what a good plan! What about them and their son? How do you plan to deal with them?"
Zhu Yixuan's eyes flashed with shame, but he quickly covered it up. "You should know that unless I die, they will never have a chance to succeed. Although I cannot recognize them, I will give all the compensation to Yunyun without giving a penny, and ensure that they will live a life of wealth and health."
Shen Yi looked at Zhu Yixuan deeply, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhu Yixuan stood up and said, "I just came here to tell you my plan. After all, they are still in your home, so I shouldn't hide it from you. As for what you think, I can't interfere."
After Zhu Yixuan left, Shen Yi pounded the table angrily and got up to look for Pan Wanli.
Now only Pan Wanli can help him send a message back to his hometown.
Zhu Yixuan acted quickly. Before the busy spring farming season was over, Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu received his letter.
After reading it, Master Zhu was overjoyed, "Great! Great! I told you my son is extraordinary. Madam, hurry up and deal with Cui first, then get rid of the concubine and the child. Our family will be very successful, hahahaha."
Mrs. Zhu was also delighted. "Don't worry, Master. I will take care of Cui Ruyi and Ke. You should take care of the family affairs first. The people sent by General Cen should be here in a few days."
"Yes, yes, yes! We don't have much time left!" Master Zhu quickly called the butler and gave instructions one by one.
Mrs. Zhu took the nanny to the backyard.
Cui Ruyi was painting. Seeing Madam Zhu coming over, she smiled softly, "Mother is in a good mood today. She actually came to me on her own initiative."
Madam Zhu frowned, full of displeasure, "Is this how you talk to your mother-in-law? Cui, have you learned all the rules that the Cui family taught you?"
Cui Ruyi threw her pen in anger and stopped pretending. "Mother, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush and accuse me of disrespecting elders."
She has always been like this, and no one from the Zhu family said anything about her before. But now that the Cui family has fallen on hard times, the people from the Zhu family immediately changed their attitude.
Madam Zhu was so angry that she took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Cui, you have been married to our Zhu family for so many years and you only gave birth to Kangsheng, a child. Now Kangsheng is gone, but the Zhu family cannot be without descendants forever, so I decided to let you go. You will have nothing to do with our Zhu family in the future."
Zhu looked at the divorce letter handed to her, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out.
"Mother has really taken great pains for the concubine and her son! Not only did she hide from me that she hired a gentleman and gave them money, but now she wants to divorce me for them! Very good! I want to see if your precious bastard can help the Zhu family to a higher level in the future!"
Cui gritted her teeth, snatched the divorce letter, and never bowed to Madam Zhu.
Although Madam Zhu was extremely angry, she did not explain. She only irritably instructed the nanny beside her, "Ask the accountant to check Cui's dowry. We will not keep anything that belongs to her. Let her take it all away. In addition, we will give her the Zhu family's villa in the city and the shop in the east of the city. And we will take out another 5,000 taels from the account."
After the nanny left, Madam Zhu looked at Cui and said in a deep voice, "Cui, the Zhu family has done their best for you. With your dowry and the money the Zhu family gave you, you can live the rest of your life in peace and stability."
Just as Cui was about to speak, Bilian rushed forward, covered her mouth with her hands, and shook her head desperately.
After Mrs. Zhu left.
Cui struggled to break free from Bilian and subconsciously wanted to slap her, but in the end she couldn't do it. "What are you doing?"
