Fortunately, the Xu family's carriage was spacious, so even with five people in it, it didn't feel crowded.
After Yunzhi got into the carriage, she glanced at her two elders before saying, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang looked at Yunzhi with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she would say such a thing.
"Alright, let's get to the point." Xu Liang was also an impatient person and eager to know why Yunzhi wanted a divorce.
Although he suspected it was because of An Xiuyuan, he still wanted to hear what Yunzhi had to say.
"The key point is that An Xiuyuan left home on the day of his wedding and did not return until a month later, bringing back a woman and a child. He then said he wanted to marry that woman and make me his concubine."
Yunzhi succinctly explained the situation, and Xu and the others were all angry upon hearing it.
Xu Liang thought to himself, An Xiuyuan has gone too far. How could he take his wife as a concubine? His daughter, who was raised with such pampering, must have suffered so much injustice. No wonder they want a divorce.
Jiang thought to herself, "These high-ranking families are indeed difficult to enter. An Xiuyuan clearly looks down on the Yun family and the Xu family."
The Xu brothers, Cheng and Lin, were thinking that An Xiuyuan was so mean and bullying Yunzhi that they would never let him off the hook.
After calming down, Xu Liang asked, "Where are your father and the others? What did they say? Did they try to get justice for you? And where are you living now?"
"Them?" Yunzhi said with a mocking look, "They think it's shameful for me to get a divorce. They not only want to confiscate my dowry, but they also want me to become a nun."
"What? This is how Yun Cheng treats you? And your mother just watches?"
“My mother?” Yunzhi sneered and said, “It was my mother who confiscated my dowry and made me become a nun. She said I brought shame to the Yun family and would affect Yunzhu’s chances of finding a husband, so she wanted to use my dowry to make up for it. She also said that my divorce had a bad reputation and I couldn’t stay at home, so I had to become a nun.”
"Xu Ying, how dare she?" Xu Liang was furious. He could understand if others didn't like Yun Zhi. After all, Yun Zhi hadn't grown up in the Yun family and had no connection with those people.
How could Xu Ying do this? She's Yunzhi's mother, and not only did she abandon Yunzhi to the Xu family when she was little, but when Yunzhi got married, she complained about being poor and refused to prepare a dowry, and they didn't even mention it. Anyway, the Xu family has plenty of money, so preparing a dowry for Yunzhi wouldn't cost much.
Therefore, the Xu family didn't say anything to her, nor did they blame her. But she, on the other hand, not only didn't feel sorry for her after what happened to her daughter, but she also didn't stand up for her or seek justice for her. How could she treat her like this?
If you ask me, the person who wronged Yunzhi the most in this world is her.
“Uncle, please don’t be angry. I didn’t give her the things, nor did I become a nun as they told me. By the way, I spent 50,000 taels to sever my ties with the Yun family. From now on, I will cut off all contact with the Yun family and have no further relationship with them.”
"Zhizhi, my poor Zhizhi, why is your life so miserable?"
Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, Jiang couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged Yunzhi, looking at her with heartache. This was the child she had raised since childhood, suffering such a great injustice, yet they weren't by her side. Her parents and relatives were nearby, but not one of them stood up for her.
Xu Liang saw his wife crying because she felt sorry for Yunzhi, and he felt terrible about it too.
At this moment, he regretted not going to the capital sooner. Otherwise, how could he have let his precious daughter suffer such a great injustice?
