Two servants came in with a boy of seven or eight years old. When the boy saw his mother kneeling on the ground, he immediately threw himself into Li Yan'er's arms.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Please get up! Dad, please tell Mom to get up. Please don't punish her, okay?"
Yu Wen Ze closed his eyes and said, "Come here, bring the two people from the woodshed."
After a while, the two tied people were also brought in. Yu Wenzhe looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. They didn't look like Yu Hao, so he asked the servant to bring in the other two servants.
Yu Wenzhe took a look and found that Yu Hao and the man named Wang Liu had similar features and eyebrows, which made him completely furious.
He called the housekeeper and said, "Beat these people to death with sticks, including this little beast."
Li Yan'er: "Master, you can't beat Hao'er to death. Hao'er is your son."
Yu Wenzhe grabbed Li Yaner's hair and faced Yu Hao and Wang Liu.
"Look at how similar their eyes and noses are. And you say they are my sons. Do you still think I'm as stupid as before? I will make you live a life worse than death."
Li Yan'er was really panicked now and kept kowtowing to Yu Wen Ze. Yu Wen Ze walked out without even looking back.
All the maids in Li Yan'er's yard were brought into the study, and from one of the maids he learned the residence of Li Yan'er's lover.
In exchange for a servant, Li Yan'er's lover was brought back in half an hour.
After checking the accounts of the mansion, the housekeeper discovered that nearly 400,000 taels of silver were missing. This news shocked Yu Wen Ze.
Yu Wen Ze was an honest official, and the family finances were basically all left by his ancestors. All the expenses of the mansion over the years were profits from the farm and shops. Not to mention how much he saved, at least he would not use the money in the treasury.
He didn't know who Li Yan'er had given all the money in the mansion to, but he knew that the money would never be recovered.
Yu Wen Ze was extremely regretful at this time for giving the housekeeper power of the mansion to Li Yan'er. Wang had reminded him countless times that Li Yan'er was not as innocent as she seemed.
But he never listened to Wang's words, and when Wang said that Li Yan'er was not a quiet woman, he slapped Wang.
Yu Wen Ze unknowingly walked to the outside of Wang's yard and looked at the candlelight lit in the room. They had been in love before, but at some point, a certain distance had appeared between them.
It seems that it was after Li Yan'er came. I missed Li Yan'er's beauty, missed the fact that she listened to me in everything, missed the fact that she was so beautiful all the time, and missed her boldness and openness in matters between husband and wife.
Yu Wen Ze must have become a laughing stock in the entire capital today! His own concubine cheated on him, and even his two children were raised by someone else.
It's really funny that he raises other people's children and lets other people's children bully his own children. I'm afraid that everyone in Jingcheng knows that Yu Wen Ze is a cuckold today!
He was so happy before. He had a wife he married in a formal ceremony and four sensible and lovely children. Why did it come to this?
At this time, Yu Wenzhe's face was already covered with tears. What had he done to his first wife and children in the past ten years?
He is truly unfit to be a husband, nor a father. In all these years in the officialdom, he has never abused his power for personal gain and has always been kind to his subordinates. Why is he so cold to his first wife and children?
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Mrs. Wang came out. Seeing that he had been standing outside the yard, Mrs. Wang sighed.
Wang: "Come in."
Yu Wen Ze touched his cold face and stepped into the yard which he had not been to for almost three years. The yard was still decorated as it was when he first got married, but the furniture was already old.
Wang poured him a cup of tea. Yu Wenzhe took the tea and took a sip. It was still his favorite Snow Mountain Cloud Green. On the table was also his favorite Hibiscus Cake.
There were already traces of time in the corners of Wang's eyes. She was no longer the bright and cheerful girl she used to be. He had long forgotten the promise he made when he married her.
Wang took out two pieces of paper from the box and handed them to Yu Wenzhe. Yu Wenzhe took the paper and saw that it contained a divorce agreement.
Yu Wenze glanced at Wang in surprise. Wang smiled at him and said, "Let's get a divorce, shall we?"
Yu Wenzhe lowered his head, looked at the divorce papers in his hand, said "hmm" softly, picked up the brush on the table and signed his name on the two divorce papers, and pressed the seal he carried with him on them.
You call all the children over. After a cup of tea, except for the eldest son who was an official in another place, the rest of the one son and two daughters came.
Yu Wenze: "I've divorced your mother today. Will the three of you follow your mother or your father?"
Without thinking, the three of them said they wanted to follow their mother. Yu Wen Ze closed his eyes and looked at his children who were wary of him.
"Then you will live with your mother from now on. You can take all the farm, shop, and land with you! And your eldest son will follow you too."
After saying that, Yu Wen Ze left.
He went straight to Li Yan'er's yard. The bloodstains in the yard had been cleaned up and Li Yan'er was locked in the room.
When she saw Yu Wenzhe, Li Yan'er knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Master, please let me go. I will serve you well in the future. Master, let's start over, okay? Yan'er will listen to you from now on."
Yu Wenze looked at the woman kneeling on the ground expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever loved me even a little bit?"
"I have always loved you, Master. It was my fault, Master. I have failed you. Please give me another chance, Master."
Yu Wenze sneered, "Your sweetheart has told me everything. You orchestrated our meeting and stole my fortune. But you didn't know that your sweetheart has already married and had children outside."
Li Yan'er was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said immediately, "Master, I was also deceived by him. Master, please forgive me this time, okay? Let's start over, okay?"
Yu Wen Ze just gave him a cold look and left. After a while, the butler came into the room with a tray in his hand, on which was a white silk, and two servants.
Two cups of tea later, the butler came out with two servants.
Seeing the master still standing in the yard, the housekeeper whispered, "Master, Aunt Li has gone."
Yu Wen Ze closed his eyes and said, "Throw them all into the mass grave. Even if that man's limbs are broken, throw him out too."
The next morning, Yu Wen Ze went to court and submitted a memorial to the emperor, stating that he wanted to resign.
The emperor asked, "What does it mean to kiss?"
Yu Wenze: "Your Majesty, I am blind and incompetent, and I am afraid I cannot sit well in this position of Shangshu."
The Emperor said, "I already know what happened yesterday. My dear, you are indeed blind and heartless. But I have to admit that you are a good official. Now that you know you are blind, you should make amends to those you have let down. My dear, please rest for three days."
The author has something to say: "Many people have said that there are too many typos and incorrect punctuation. That's true. I update over 8,000 words a day, but I haven't done any careful checking. I'm also writing my second book recently, so I'm really pressed for time. If you find any errors, please leave a comment. Thank you for your support, whether it's a good comment or a bad one. I'll be grateful to you all for the rest of my life."
