Qin Su'an's hope was rekindled.
How could Xie Wanyun not know what these people were thinking, but she had already decided to put an end to this matter today, so how could she back down?
The elder who had spoken first said, "Xie, you heard what I said earlier. You should know that I am not siding with Qin Su'an. This move is simply too unthinkable. Why do you insist on it?"
Another person said, "Yes, in fact, it's nothing more than a dispute over dowry and interests. We can do what we have to do. We just don't need to divorce her in name only. What do you think?"
Xie Wanyun thought that this person was quite straightforward and had a realistic view of things.
Unfortunately, most of the time, what a person is obsessed with and cares about is a reputation, and what they want is an explanation.
If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. Divorce means divorce, there is no room for compromise.
Besides, she is not short of money, but even if she donates all her money to charity, it will not be given to the Qin family for free.
The clan leader looked at her hopefully, waiting for her nod, and the matter would be perfectly concluded. They didn't care how much benefit Qin Su'an could get, since it wouldn't reach them anyway, but they still had to save face for the Qin clan.
Xie Wanyun remained silent, and everyone thought she had accepted the suggestion and breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wanyun stood up and walked directly to the center of the hall, his sharp and cold eyes sweeping across everyone's faces.
Everyone present felt a chill for no reason.
Xie Wanyun, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and straight, with a calm demeanor. He spoke slowly, his voice clear and powerful, neither hurried nor slow.
"Everyone, I, Xie Wanyun, stand here today, asking for justice, because I believe that all of you elders are fair. But now, you have disappointed me."
The expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable. Although what he said was true, wasn't this too disrespectful?
The clan leader said, "Xie, you can't say that. Everyone here is doing this for your own good. The suggestion was made by everyone. Whether you accept it or not is up to you two parties involved."
Xie Wanyun said bluntly, "Except for divorce, I won't accept any other conditions."
"Xie, don't be so stubborn!" The patriarch's face was already showing annoyance.
Others were also talking about it.
Qin Suan gnashed his teeth in hatred. Xie Wanyun, I gave you a fucking favor, didn't I? Why are you so arrogant?
Xie Wanyun continued, "What I'm asking for today is nothing more than justice. If a woman commits even one of the seven grounds for divorce, she'll be divorced and driven out like a stray dog. But a man, on the other hand, can only be divorced amicably if he meets all seven of the grounds, and more. I know there's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world, but I cannot accept such a stark disparity in treatment."
These words were so logical, so powerful, and so irrefutable that the noisy hall suddenly quieted down.
The clan leader was also helpless. He looked at Qin Su'an, meaning, "I have tried my best, there is nothing I can do."
Qin Su'an was already furious. How could this woman be so cruel?
He was so angry that his mind felt a little confused and his breathing became heavy.
Ever since he was disturbed at the gate of Mu Garden the day before yesterday, he has been often confused.
Now he first knew that the old lady was poisoned, Liu Yuner was the main culprit, and his biological mother was behind the scenes. Both of them have been imprisoned. This blow was already unbearable for him, and then Xie Wanyun insisted on divorcing her husband!
He couldn't bear this huge humiliation. But he knew he couldn't fall down at this moment, so he could only stare at Xie Wanyun fiercely with his bloodshot eyes.
If his anger could turn into a sharp blade, Xie Wanyun would have been badly injured by now.
But that was just fantasy. In the face of strength, any anger was meaningless.
Xie Wanyun waited for a moment, and seeing that no one was talking, he continued, "Divorce and divorce are worlds apart, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. However,"
She paused deliberately, and seeing everyone's attention drawn to her, she continued, "Before, the Wei family spread the rumor that I had taken over their property and refused to share any dividends. Today, I will take this opportunity to explain everything. Those properties were entrusted to me by the Qin family as an investment. The monthly dividends are clearly listed in the account, and I have not given you a single cent less."
