Chapter 49: Divorce! Grandmother is mighty and domineering!
Lu Xinran, who was hiding behind a tree outside the yard, saw Pei's words from the system and gave her a thumbs up crazily.
[This should have happened a long time ago. He already has children and grandchildren. Does he really dare to divorce? Unless he doesn't want to continue to be a second-rank official. ]
[Why do you have to suffer such humiliation? Even when dealing with a servant, you have to look at the concubine's mood. Whose legitimate wife would be bullied by the concubine? ]
[It's really heroic of you to help your aunt in such a mess! ]
[You really love your two concubines. Why don't you make them your wives? Go and ask the emperor for concubines. The three wives and four concubines are already full. ]
[Anyway, if you are shameless, you are invincible. Don’t just be shameless at home, be shameless outside too. ]
A series of inner voices came again, and the blue veins near Lu Jinchuan's temples twitched wildly.
Didn't you tell her to get out?!
Pei felt extremely relieved after hearing these words. She asked Nanny Xu to get the key to the mansion's account warehouse and asked her to inform the housekeepers.
Seeing that Nanny Xu was about to leave after receiving the order, Lu Jinchuan's face became even more gloomy.
"Has that been enough?"
"Master, I just want to save my face, so that next time people know that the daughter of our family is eating rotten rice, people will think that I am abusing my granddaughter.
"If you hand over the housekeeping power to me, I can make up for it later and let people know that I am also poor."
With a bang, Pei threw all the account books and cards at Lu Jinchuan's feet.
"Don't you want to subsidize them? Don't you think they are wronged by having to be concubines?
"Today I will give them the position of principal wife and the power of housekeeper!
"Lu Jinchuan, I, Pei Mingyue, have never done anything wrong to you or the Lu family, so today, either you deal with them, or we can get a divorce."
Her words landed loudly on the ground, and everyone in the room held their breath, fearing that they would become cannon fodder if they were not careful.
Outside the yard, Lu Xinran heard these words and began to applaud and cheer for Pei again.
[Grandmother is so majestic and domineering! Divorce, divorce! Hurry up and divorce! If you really divorce, I will leave the house with you. Whoever loves this stupid Lu Mansion will be stupid! ]
[Do you really think that the identity of the second daughter of the Lu family is so important? I have never eaten rotten rice in the countryside! ]
Lu Jinchuan bit his upper lip tightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a long time before he suppressed his surging anger.
"At the court meeting today, the historian Yu impeached Marquis Dingkang for not managing his family strictly, and asked Your Majesty to punish him severely to serve as a warning to others."
[So, you feel unbalanced because Yu Shi only impeached Marquis Dingkang and not you.]
[He favored his concubine and killed his wife. It seems so glorious to say it out loud. It is like a crow falling on a pig. He only sees the faults of others but not his own.]
Pei was originally shaken by Lu Jinchuan's words, but when she heard his inner voice, she smiled sarcastically.
"So, are you planning to threaten me for them? Even if there is no place for me to stay in Dingkang Marquis's Mansion, my dowry house is enough for me to stay."
[Yes! Why do I have to stay here every day, looking at that disgusting face? Do you really think that everyone will like you because you are as handsome as Pan An? Pah! Pah! ]
Lu Jinchuan could no longer maintain his composure, as he was so angry at the grandfather and grandson singing the same tune that he was fuming.
[Tsk, I feel so sorry for my grandmother. It has come to this, but he is still reluctant to deal with these two servants. I wonder how long the Lu family will continue to go downhill.]
Lu Xinran sighed, and felt that there was nothing interesting about this excitement.
Pei's sacrificed her face but couldn't get Lu Jinchuan to say "drag them away and sell them". The future of the Lu family is already foreseeable.
[My father is like this, and my son follows suit. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. How can you have the nerve to laugh at Marquis Dingkang? The Lu family will definitely be worse than the marquis' mansion in the future. ]
The last sentence was intermittent, and the voice became quieter and quieter until it could no longer be heard.
Everyone in the room knew that she had really left.
Pei sat back on the couch, thinking about what she had just heard, and the sneer at the corner of her lips turned into self-mockery.
"Madame Xu, pack up all my dowry and we will move to the manor today."
"Yes, ma'am."
Madam Xu lowered her brows, as if she could not feel Lu Jinchuan's murderous gaze. She called the maid and took the dowry list to the warehouse to take inventory.
Lu Jinchuan threw up his sleeves in annoyance: "Do you really have to do this?"
Mrs. Pei ignored him, took off the beads from her wrist, lowered her eyes and slowly twirled her fingers.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Jin never imagined that such a small matter would become irreparable.
Both of them panicked and fell to their knees.
"Master, it is my fault. I shouldn't have sent someone to look for you for such a small matter."
"We will go back and reflect on our mistakes. We will not leave until Madam calms down. This is my fault, and I know I am wrong."
The two cried bitterly, and sisters Lu Xinlan and Lu Xintong felt regretful.
Why did the second sister/sister leave? She was such a good mouthpiece and could curse out all the hatred in their hearts.
Pei's private storehouse had been opened, and boxes of things were being carried out and piled in the yard.
Lu Jinchuan looked at everything inside and outside the house and felt a huge headache.
Blame Pei for making a fuss out of nothing, and also blame him for only pushing himself and being too narrow-minded to tolerate others.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, today's farce could not end with her leaving the Lu Mansion with her dowry.
He almost gritted his teeth, waved to call the steward of the mansion, pointed at Wang Dazhuang and Zhao Sanfu and spoke.
"Give them twenty lashes each, and sell off their entire family!"
"Master!"
"Master, please spare my life. I know I am wrong."
The two aunts and Wang Dazhuang all cried out for mercy.
Lu Jinchuan ignored them and looked coldly at Pei, "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied? Why should I be satisfied? If it were someone else's mansion, and the servants were vicious and dared to ride on the master's head, it would be the master's kindness if they were not beaten to death. But in our mansion, oh, since the Shangshu's wife is so depressed, why not go to the manor to seek some leisure time."
Pei's eyes were equally cold as she stared straight at Lu Jinchuan without giving in.
"You really do make me sick!"
"Pei Mingyue! You are crazy!"
Lu Jinchuan was so angry that he lost control. His daughter-in-law was in the room, his granddaughter was in the room, and all the servants were in the room.
How dare she!
Pei Mingyue stood up and walked straight past him, "Whatever you think, from today on, I want to live a carefree life. Either I clear out all the servants in the mansion, or you and I will divorce, and this Lu family will have nothing to do with me anymore."

Someone who likes to stir up trouble: Come on, grandma, come on, grandma, kill them! Make the old man mad! Make him mad, and from now on everyone will have to listen to you!
Pei: Okay, watch me!
