The clan leader frowned, and everyone looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Qin Su'an's attitude was too rude. The clan ancestral hall was such a solemn place, and the clan leader was highly respected. How could he speak rudely and shout here?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Qin Su'an realized that he had gone too far, so he sat back down, picked up his tea, took a sip, and calmed himself down.
He had never imagined that his mother, Wei, would be implicated in the poisoning case. He had never imagined that Liu Yun'er would be so audacious as to poison the old lady, even though he had been trying to redeem her a few days ago.
This woman is simply crazy!
To be honest, he didn't believe that his mother Wei would poison someone. They had always lived in harmony with each other, so Wei shouldn't have done such a thing.
In order to escape punishment, Liu Yuner lied that it was Wei who ordered it.
Wait, why did this matter suddenly come up? Could it be that Xie Wanyun was behind this as well?
His gaze shifted to Xie Wanyun, who was completely enveloped in black, save for her face, which was nearly transparently pale. Between her brows lay a thousand-year-old frost, a chill that was pressing.
Qin Su'an couldn't help but shudder. What kind of woman was Xie Wanyun?
Seeing Qin Suan quiet down, the clan leader asked Xie Wanyun again, "Ms. Xie, Qin Suan wants to divorce his wife. Do you have anything to say?"
Xie Wanyun stood up calmly and bowed to the clan leader. He then looked around at everyone in the clan. His voice was clear and resonant.
"Clan leader, elders, I'm sure everyone is already clear about what happened between Qin Su'an and me, so I won't elaborate. We've long since severed our bond, and there's no reconciliation. I can only divorce him. But there's one thing: he's not the one divorcing his wife, but me, Xie Wanyun, who's divorcing her husband!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar.
Qin Su'an gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Xie Wanyun, you're crazy! Since ancient times, only men have been able to divorce their wives, never women. How could you divorce your husbands? You're so crazy! You're so arrogant! Do you still have any respect for the law or the ancestral hall?"
Xie Wanyun gave him a cold look and said, "Although the laws of our dynasty don't say a woman can divorce her husband, they don't say she can't either. If Mr. Qin doesn't believe me, you can investigate thoroughly."
Qin Su'an was speechless.
When a man divorces his wife, it is equivalent to driving her out alone.
Although the law stipulates that dowry is a woman's private property, if a woman commits one of the seven grounds for divorce, the dowry can still be confiscated after the ancestral hall has agreed, and the wife cannot take anything away.
Qin Su'an had this idea before, so he kept clamoring to open the ancestral hall to convict Xie Wanyun.
But if they divorce, Xie Wanyun can take her dowry away, and the Qin family will get nothing.
What's more, she's divorcing her husband? Her face wasn't just slapping loudly, it was practically shattered! No man could endure such humiliation.
Qin Su'an gnashed his teeth. "Xie Wanyun, you've met all the seven grounds for divorce, and yet you still dare to talk about divorcing me?"
The clan leader said, "The Qin family has gathered here today to sort this matter out. Su'an, you said Xie committed one of the seven grounds for divorce. You can provide examples. Xie, if you disagree, you can refute it. Our ancestors are above us and will make the fair judgment."
Xie Wanyun said loudly, "Qin Su'an, you keep saying that I committed the seven offenses. Let me ask you, the first one is childlessness. Uncle Qin, maybe you remembered it wrongly? Qin Junhao, nicknamed Quan Ge'er, is registered under my name."
"This..." Qin Su'an was speechless. Who had made them insist on giving Quan Ge'er to her in the first place? They were really digging their own grave.
Looking at the other members of the clan, they all nodded frequently. Even if they were adopted, as long as they were in the family tree, they would be the sons of the Xie family.
"The second is debauchery. I'm busy managing the shop and the bank every day, so how could I be debauched? But Master Qin often goes in and out of brothels, visiting prostitutes, gambling, and doing whatever he wants!"
"You're talking nonsense! You manage the shop every day? You just flirt and hook up with men..." Qin Su'an was so angry that he started to curse.
"Su'an! Speak with evidence, don't make false statements." This was the voice of an elder from the Qin family. He had once asked Qin Su'an to find a job for his son and had given him a generous gift.
As a result, Qin Su'an not only took the money but also did not do the job. He also embezzled the money later. The two families had already had a grudge against each other.
