Chapter 21: Divorce is not necessary
Shen Zhixu frowned and looked at her, "Su Qingwan, what do you mean?"
Whatever Bai Xizhi thought of, her heart became more and more hot. She subconsciously held her breath, waiting for Su Qingwan's next words.
Xie Changning gave Su Qingwan an encouraging look.
Su Qingwan smiled slightly. She was not afraid of anyone's gaze. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhixu, saying word by word, "I want to divorce you!"
She thought she would feel a little sad when she said this.
She and Shen Zhixu had been engaged since childhood. When she first married into the Marquis's Mansion, she was full of expectations and wanted to live a good life with him.
What made her sad was that she had wasted her time.
But after she really said it, she felt relieved.
Bai Xizhi suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She knew Su Qingwan would do this. This meant that her dream was about to come true!
From now on she will be the Crown Prince's wife.
"What? You want a divorce, but I don't agree!" Before Shen Zhixu could speak, Qin was the first to stand up and object.
Although Lord Su has retired, his connections in the court are still there. Zhixu is about to enter the court as an official. With these connections, his journey will be much smoother.
Once Zhixu and Su Qingwan divorced, he would completely offend the Su family.
All those supports he had originally provided would become obstacles for him in the future.
Shen Zhixu looked at Su Qingwan in a daze. He never thought that Su Qingwan would divorce him.
She was such a gentle woman. Even though she had been neglected in the past two years, she was still considerate of him and never said a bad word about him in front of outsiders.
He could feel that she was deeply in love with him.
He just wanted Xizhi to be his equal wife, which did not affect her status at all.
Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? He only wants Xizhi, but Su Qingwan wants to divorce him. How can she be so heartless?
"Su Qingwan, do you really want to do this?" His eyes were full of resentment, as if it was Su Qingwan, not him, who was doing something wrong.
"Yes, I want to divorce you. You are heartless and ungrateful, and you are not worthy of being a husband." Su Qingwan's voice became louder and louder. "Chen Zhixu, I will help you, this adulterous couple, to be together because I don't want you anymore."
Xie Changning wanted to applaud her after hearing this.
What Qingwan said is so good.
It's just that the scolding wasn't harsh enough.
Shen Zhixu was furious. He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. "Divorce? Don't even think about it. You can leave the mansion, but it's not a divorce. I'm divorcing my wife."
This is naturally better!
Bai Xizhi's eyes lit up.
"You want to divorce Qingwan? What right do you have to do this? You have done something wrong to Qingwan. I will beat you to death, you beast." Just then the Su family came.
The one who rushed forward to attack Shen Zhixu was Su Qingwan's brother Su Tingshen.
Su's father and mother also came.
"My poor daughter, you have been wronged!" Su's mother, Xu, hugged Su Qingwan distressedly, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
How can I not feel wronged when I meet a scumbag like Shen Zhixu?
Su Qingwan was really sad.
"Your family is really going too far, especially you, a beast. Qingwan is my jewel in the crown, and you treat her like this. Let me show you how I will teach you a lesson today." Su Chengzhou was also a ruthless man. He, a scholar, pounced on Shen Zhixu and punched and kicked him.
"Stop, all of you stop right there." Qin screamed, looking at the guards beside her, "Are you all dead? Stop them now."
Xie Changning glanced around and no one dared to move.
She was satisfied with the beating, and she wanted to let the Su family vent their anger.
As for Shen Zhixu, he brought this upon himself.
The two men pinned Shen Zhixu to the ground, punching and kicking him without showing any mercy.
Su Tingshen was a scheming man, and he took the opportunity to beat Bai Xizhi, hitting her only on the face.
Isn't she shameless?
Then beat her until her face is bruised and blue.
Su Qingwan and Xu were secretly happy after seeing this, and neither of them could cry anymore.
Shen Zhiyan and the others were so frightened that they retreated one after another.
Qin glared at them, then turned and yelled at Xie Changning, "Can't you see they're about to beat your son to death? Why are you still standing there? Go and stop them! If anything happens to Zhixu, you'll have nowhere to cry."
Xie Changning really stopped him.
"Stop, all of you stop." She stood by with a whip in her hand, howling a few times without any pain.
The Su family father and son did not stop until Shen Zhixu fell to the ground and could not move.
Su Tingshen was fine, but Su Chengzhou was gasping for breath. He was beaten too hard just now and was really exhausted. Beating people is really a physical job.
"Chen Zhixu, let me ask you again, divorce or divorce, it's your choice?" Su Tingshen's face was gloomy. He grabbed Shen Zhixu's collar and looked at him murderously.
Shen Zhixu's face was covered in blood. He gasped for breath and glanced at Su Qingwan coldly. "Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will only have one answer, and that is to divorce me. If you have the guts, beat me to death! Otherwise, I will never sign the divorce papers."
"This is not up to you. You have to sign this today whether you want to or not. You have no choice." Su Chengzhou took out the divorce letter that he had prepared long ago, as well as pen and ink.
They came prepared.
Shen Zhixu refused to sign no matter what.
Qin also jumped out and said, "You Su family, you guys are dreaming about getting a divorce! Do you want a divorce letter? I can ask Zhixu to write one for you right away."
The Su family had no choice. Under the watchful eyes of the public, they couldn't grab Shen Zhixu's hand and ask him to sign it.
So everyone looked at Xie Changning.
Xie Changning hadn't spoken a word until this moment when she finally spoke: "It's not necessary for the two of them to get divorced."
