He had lost everything. Even the woman he loved was fake. Cheng had taken advantage of him.
very good.
Cheng is cruel and vicious enough.
The same goes for him.
Chu Zhiyin picked up the divorce letter and looked at it carefully. Fearing that there was something wrong, she gave it to Chu Zhinan and asked him to help take a look.
Chu Zhinan and Chu Zhixi looked at it and handed it to Imperial Physician Wang. He glanced at it casually and wrote his name in the witness column.
Then it was passed to Chu Zhiyin, who finally wrote her name on it and waited for the ink to dry.
The maids in the yard had already packed up their things and were waiting to move them home.
When she came back on the fourth day of the New Year, she began to secretly make arrangements. She knew exactly what was in the dowry list and what was not.
The maids and old women were also asked to tidy up the things in the storeroom, including the boxes and objects in her yard, clothes, jewelry, etc., all of which were put away one by one.
Since they have already divorced, she doesn't want to leave any of her things in the Zhang family.
It's really unlucky.
She wants to take it all back.
As soon as the Zhang family's gate opened, the people at the gate saw a lot of dowry being carried out and loaded onto the Chu family's carriage, and they knew that the girl from the Chu family had divorced.
"So fast? It seems that the second young lady of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion must have received some news."
"I was deceived into marriage for eight years. It's really unfair. It's better to divorce and go home, so as not to be upset."
"Everything has been moved away. It seems that what that silly woman said just now is true. The Zhang family's backyard is really a mess."
As the news of Chu Zhiyin's divorce spread, the Zhang family's affairs broke out, and everything, no matter how big or small, was dug up.
At the court the next morning, someone immediately impeached Zhang Deji, saying that the couple had vicious minds and deliberately concealed the fact that the eldest son Zhang was infertile, and deceived the second daughter of the Duke of Huguo for eight years.
The people who impeached him were all his mortal enemies. When the emperor heard this, his face turned cold and he asked, "Does Minister Zhang have any words to refute?"
Zhang Deji knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I only found out yesterday that it was all done by my humble wife."
"Nonsense! How can you clean up the world if you can't even clean up your own house? Lord Zhang can't even manage his backyard, how can he be an official in the court?"
"You put all your faults on your wife. Is Mr. Zhang still a man?"
"Your Majesty! Such a person cannot stand in the court. We are ashamed to be associated with him."
The emperor stared at Zhang Deji coldly: "The Huguogong Mansion is the pillar of Dongsheng. Fraudulent marriage? Lord Zhang is really capable. From now on, return home and reflect on your actions."
The meaning of how long he had reflected on it was very clear: he would tell the emperor when he remembered it.
Zhang Deji's face turned pale and he dared not argue. He knelt down and walked out of the hall backwards.
He returned home and divorced his wife immediately.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhang Chunrong found a few people and gave Zhang Chunqiu the same medicine.
He has no children, so Cheng's son can forget about having one.
He also instigated Zhang Deji to get the eight million taels of silver to compensate Chu Zhiyin. Cheng had accumulated a lot of property over the years. In addition, he wanted revenge and wanted to find out all the secrets of Cheng.
After compensating Chu Zhiyin for the loss, the Zhang family was left with nothing but an empty mansion. Zhang Chunrong didn't care at all. What was the point of having these things for a man without fertility?
What's more, with such a big thing happening, can he still stay in the capital?
After arranging for someone to return the compensation and dowry to Chu Zhiyin, Zhang Chunrong left the capital with a servant.
Chu Zhiyin returned home after the divorce, feeling anxious and worried that it would affect the marriages of her nephews and nieces.
Fortunately, her brothers and sisters-in-law at home didn't mind and treated her as an unmarried girl, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Chu Xiaoxiao was held in Chu Yifei's arms and taken to the street to watch the lanterns. They were accompanied by Chu Yimo, Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang.
【Wow! What a beautiful light! 】
On both sides of the street, all kinds of lanterns are hung on the branches. The lanterns are painted with various beautiful patterns, including auspicious dragons and phoenixes, wealthy peonies, and various auspicious symbols.
People dressed in festive costumes flocked to the streets from all directions.
The children held small lanterns in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces. They moved among the crowd, shouting happily from time to time.
The adults gathered in groups of three or five, admiring the lanterns and discussing how this year's lantern festival was different from previous years.
Some people were performing dragon and lion dances, some were playing and singing traditional folk arts, and some were setting up stalls selling various snacks and souvenirs.
The air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, and people's laughter, cheers and applause were heard one after another.
Chu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and eyes wide, looking around, overwhelmed by what she saw.
Among the sea of lanterns, the most eye-catching one is the huge dragon-shaped lantern.
It is about several meters long and magnificent, like a real dragon descending to earth.
People stopped to watch and marveled at the sight, and children jumped around it happily, wanting to dance with the dragon.
Lanterns light up the night sky, and every corner is filled with joy and peace.
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled happily, waved her hands, and kept saying “Ah! Ah!”
Su Qingran also came to see the lanterns, and she was accompanied only by her maid Zhenzhu, no one else.
Chu Yifei was very satisfied and looked at her: "What kind of lantern do you like? I'll buy it for you."
[Hmph! My elder brother has forgotten about his younger sister since he got a wife. Xiaoxiao ignores you and doesn’t even think about buying lanterns for me, only for my sister-in-law. Hmph! I’m angry, the kind that can’t be appeased.]
Chu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head. Sure enough, he saw the little person with a fierce face, a puffed-up mouth, and a very cute look.
He poked her cheek and asked with a smile, "Sister! What kind of lantern do you like? I'll buy it for you!"
[Ah! Big brother is still very good to me, I like, like, like...]
The little face that was angry just now suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and the big black eyes became much brighter.
She looked around and saw that she liked every lantern. What should she do? Should she buy all of them?
Su Qingran reached out and took her from Chu Yifei's arms: "Xiaoxiao! Can sister-in-law buy you a rabbit lantern?"
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.
[Okay, okay! Rabbit lantern, I like it! ]
Holding her in one hand, Su Qingran picked up a rabbit lantern with the other hand, asked Zhenzhu to pay for it, and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao.
She was still young and couldn't hold it, so she had to help.
Chu Yifei was guarding two women, one big and one small, on the side, fearing that they would be accidentally squeezed by others.
Chu Yimo brought Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang away from them. His sister-in-law had come, and they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable with their presence.
A good brother must be sensible and know when to back off and when to make a scene.
"Qingran! What kind of lamp do you like? I'll buy one for you!"
Su Qingran smiled and shook her head: "No need, just buy it for my sister."
[Brother! Buy a lotus lantern for my sister-in-law. The color is beautiful and she will definitely like it.]
