"ah……"
"Stop, stop, stop hitting me, stop it!"
Zhao Qianhua's face started to swell up before Wang finally reacted and tried to stop Deng Xue.
Unfortunately, Tian An's maids had been holding a lot of anger against this family for a long time. Now that their masters were back, it was their time to hold their heads high and feel proud.
Lixiang glanced over, and Qingning immediately stepped forward to stop Wang, "The head of the family is disciplining the younger generation, please don't interfere, madam."
"Get out of my way! She's my daughter, the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. Why are you hitting her? Stop it, stop it right now. Someone come! Save the young lady..." Wang pushed Qing Ning away madly and moved towards Zhao Qianhua.
Seeing that Qingning was young and couldn't be held back, Lixiang asked Xiyou to join in.
Now that Zhao Yiming and Tian An are back, everyone knows that they are the real masters of this mansion. The servants around Wang, who are fence-sitters, are busy trying to break away from them and dare not help her. No matter how powerful she is, she is only one person, and the two maids are enough to suppress her.
Zhao Ningsong and his mother watched Zhao Qianhua being beaten, pursed their lips and turned away silently, with an indifferent attitude as if it had nothing to do with them.
Tian An shook his head repeatedly after watching this. It turned out that even the most hateful people can have their pitiful side!
It took a whole cup of tea, until Zhao Qianhua's face was bleeding and swollen like a pig's head, before Zhao Yiming called out, "Do you know you're wrong?"
"...Slurp...Slurp..." After being taught a lesson, Zhao Qianhua knelt on the ground with disheveled hair, no longer having the arrogant look she had just now.
“Qianhua…” As soon as Qingning and Xiyou let go of Wang, she quickly rushed to Zhao Qianhua and hugged her in her arms with a look of heartache on her face.
Zhao Qianhua was even more frightened and shrank into her arms, holding her arm tightly. Her face hurt so much that she couldn't utter a word, and only tears flowed down her face.
Looking at her poor daughter and thinking of the indifference of Zhao Ningsong and his mother just now, Wang was completely chilled. "Zhao Ningsong, I want to divorce you."
No matter how Zhao Ningsong beat, scolded and humiliated her before, she endured it all because she didn't want to give up the title of the Duke's wife.
But now, not only did Zhao Yiming come back unscathed, he also wanted to divide the family, and Zhao Ningsong might not get anything. She wouldn't get any benefit from being involved with Zhao Ningsong anymore. Maybe in the future, Zhao Yiming would find out what they had done and get into trouble.
It would be better to separate from him. After all, she still has one last support. Even if she takes her daughter with her, she won't end up on the streets.
However, in a moment, Wang had thought everything through, but unfortunately, Zhao Ningsong would never let her get her wish.
He knew that Wang must have some silver hidden in her hands. If he really couldn't get anything from Zhao Yiming, then that would be their last resort. How could he let Wang go so easily?
"Humph! That bitch Concubine Xu betrayed me, and now you want to divorce me too?
I tell you, don't even think about it. You belong to me, Zhao Ningsong, in life, and you must be buried next to me, Zhao Ningsong, even after death. Don't even think about getting rid of me in this life."
He turned and looked at the concubines and daughters behind him, "You too, if you dare to have second thoughts and follow the example of that bitch and rebellious daughter surnamed Xu, I will personally send you to hell."
The concubines and daughters were frightened by his crazy look and said, "I dare not, my daughter dare not."
Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Zhao Yiming quickly reminded, "Second Uncle's family affairs should be discussed later when you return home!
Let’s first resolve the issue of the family division.”
After that, he announced the assets that would be divided among the three families. These included not only houses, shops, farms, and property in the inner city, but also 10,000 taels of silver in cash.
The stark contrast made Zhao Ningsong feel extremely unbalanced. "Why? He, Zhao Ningyan, a picked-up bastard, got everything, but I, his biological uncle, got nothing. You're biased. This isn't fair."
Zhao Yiming sneered, "Yes, Second Uncle is right, this is indeed unfair."
Hearing this, Zhao Ningsong and the people from the second house were all stunned, thinking that Zhao Yiming was venting his conscience.
In the end, he said, "Third Uncle doesn't have the blood of the Zhao family, but he is devoted to the Zhao family and has dedicated all his hard work throughout his life to the Zhao family.
It can be said that after my grandfather and my father passed away, he single-handedly supported the entire Duke's Mansion.
And what about you, second uncle?
You have been the head of the family for so many years. What achievements have you made?
His official position has not improved but deteriorated, and now he has been directly dismissed from office. Apart from pursuing prostitutes, he only knows how to take the money earned by his third uncle from the mansion and squander it and show off, and he even calls it socializing. May I ask what kind of socializing did you do?
There is no achievement in the court, and the children at home are not well educated and do not even have the most basic etiquette. Haven't you heard how people outside are mocking the Duke of Zhao's Mansion and using it as a topic of conversation after dinner?
You have completely disgraced your father and grandfather.
To be honest, this is indeed unfair to your Third Uncle, because your incompetence makes outsiders look down on your Third Uncle and the third branch of the Zhao family.
You still have the nerve to talk about fairness? Fine! Today I will come to tell you what fairness is.
"Come here, check the account book."
At Zhao Yiming's command, the two secret guards immediately placed all the account books that Wang had made over the years in front of the second wife.
"I originally wanted to save your face, but since you have no shame, I'll just explain everything to everyone today."
Looking at the account book in front of them, Zhao Ningsong and Wang's faces turned pale.
Until this moment, Zhao Ningsong still held on to a lucky attitude, thinking that Zhao Yiming was just trying to provoke him, and pretended to be calm and said, "Nephew, what do you mean by this?"
