Chapter 320: We Must Divorce My Wife
Uncle Ling and Uncle Ling II met with the Lu couple together.
Uncle Ling didn't beat around the bush.
He directly told them that Fang Zhang had bribed the wet nurse and maliciously replaced his younger sister.
The Lu couple were very shocked.
"This, can this kind of thing be done?" Mrs. Lu is a woman. She has always believed that mother and child are connected by heart, and her child will not admit her mistake.
"Back then, Madam Ling had no idea? If she had said she was switched at birth, perhaps she could have concealed it."
"How could it be during the confinement period..."
Uncle Ling sighed: "This is also a coincidence."
"My sister was born prematurely. She was wrinkled and ugly when she was born. She was an ugly ball."
"When my mother gave birth at an advanced age, she fell out of a carriage and suffered a severe dystocia. Furthermore, she was caught in a heavy rain, which left her with a chronic illness. Most of the time, the child was taken care of by a wet nurse."
"My mother spent a lot of time in a coma every day. The person who cooked for her was Fang Zhang's mother. We trusted her because she had helped us before. Our wet nurse also kept it a secret, so we didn't notice anything wrong with the food. We just thought she was weak and drowsy all day."
"Plus, Ling Miaoyan was already dark and thin when he was a child, so this was just a coincidence."
Uncle Ling felt very regretful.
He was the one who stayed with his mother back then.
If he had been more attentive and taken better care of my younger sister, perhaps this wouldn't have happened and my younger sister wouldn't have suffered for so many years.
Mr. Ling Er patted Mr. Ling Da's shoulder.
No one can say for sure what happened back then.
There's no point dwelling on this now.
Fortunately, they already knew the truth, and fortunately, their own sister was blessed with great fortune. She entered the palace and became a favorite concubine, and lived a good life.
Mrs. Lu also sighed.
I sighed and felt relieved.
Back then, she was very happy when her eldest son married into the Ling family.
After all, the Lu family and the Ling family are old friends. The Ling family has a very good family tradition. The three sons of the Ling family are all successful and outstanding people. The youngest daughter of the Ling family will definitely not be too bad.
Before they got married, Ling Miaoyan acted quite generously, and she was quite satisfied with him.
Who would have thought that after getting married, Ling Miaoyan became like a different person.
She would fuss over the smallest details, and never thought it was her fault when she did something wrong, but always thought it was someone else's fault. She treated her servants harshly, and her sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law harshly as well, and she would even scold her mother-in-law.
Ling Miaoyan also favors boys over girls and treats her daughter badly.
She felt sorry for the children and wanted to take them to her side to raise them.
Not only did Ling Miaoyan disagree, she also tortured the child to death in front of her.
She was afraid that this lunatic Ling Miaoyan would do something even more outrageous, so she could only turn a blind eye and dared not say anything more.
Those daughters were raised by Ling Miaoyan to be very petty, and the families they later married were also chosen by Ling Miaoyan herself. None of the sons-in-law were decent.
Ling Miaoyan had four daughters, one of whom was accidentally beaten to death by her brother-in-law who was drunk.
One of them died during childbirth.
The two surviving ones were not in a good situation either. They were tortured by their mother-in-law and beaten by their husbands. She had secretly visited them and found that they had both become emaciated due to torture.
As for Ling Miaoyan's only son, he was spoiled since childhood and became a selfish waste.
With Ling Miaoyan, the troublemaker, around, Mrs. Lu felt she would never be able to rest in peace.
After learning that Ling Miaoyan was not the daughter of the Ling family, Mrs. Lu's mind instantly became open, and even the gloomy weather seemed extremely sunny.
Master Lu said, "Brother Ling, I'll just speak frankly."
"Ling Miaoyan has messed up our Lu family beyond measure. We don't want to divorce because Ling Miaoyan once threatened us that if we dared to divorce, she would wipe out our entire Lu family."
Uncle Ling's eyes widened: "Is there such a thing?"
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly.
There are so many such things.
Because of their friendship with the Ling family, they have endured what they could over the years, and gritted their teeth when they couldn't.
"Our Lu family must divorce the wife."
Uncle Ling was in a complicated mood.
He had also heard some of Ling Miaoyan's bullying in the Lu family.
But, people's hearts always tend to favor their own people.
Besides, Ling Miaoyan never let anyone interfere in her husband's family affairs, and it was not convenient for him, a grown man, to get involved, so he turned a blind eye.
Uncle Ling said, "It is our Ling family who has wronged your Lu family."
The so-called marry a virtuous wife.
An unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to at least three generations and may even ruin the entire family.
Madam Lu said, "It's not your fault."
"Back then, it was Lie'er who first fell in love with Ling Miaoyan and begged us to come to the Ling family to propose marriage. When it comes to marriage, it's hard to say who is right or wrong."
"We came here, first, to find out what happened, and second, to tell you that our Lu family wants to divorce my wife."
Uncle Ling nodded and said, "When Ling Miaoyan got married, the Ling family prepared a very generous dowry, with a total value of over one million taels of silver."
"I'll have someone prepare a new dowry list for the Lu family and file it with the government. From now on, the dowry will belong to the Lu family. It can also be considered as compensation from the Ling family. If there is any shortage, the Ling family will make up for it."
"Apart from the dowry, the gold and silver Ling Miaoyan wants from the Ling family will be taken back by our Ling family."
The Lu couple did not refuse.
It was really because Ling Miaoyan had tortured them too harshly over the years.
All the money of the Lu family is controlled by Ling Miaoyan, and they live worse than others.
Ling Miaoyan dares to be so arrogant because he relies on the power of the Ling family, and the Ling family is not innocent either.
They deserve Ling Miaoyan's dowry to make up for the suffering they have endured over the years.
Uncle Ling continued, "We will hand over the money Ling Miaoyan has obtained through other means over the years to the government for disposal."
The Lu couple responded.
They also disdain to take ill-gotten gains.
The Ling family acted very quickly.
All the formalities were completed quickly.
The Lu family had had enough of Ling Miaoyan's torture over the years and divorced her as quickly as possible.
Ling Miaoyan has only one son, named Lu Yaozu.
After the Lu family divorced Ling Miaoyan, they immediately decided to separate from Lu Yaozu.
After all, the Lu family was not cruel enough. When the family was divided, they gave a lot of money to Lu Yaozu's family.
If they lived an honest life, the money would be enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But how can a person who is corrupt from the root live an honest life?
After the family split up, Lu Yaozu quickly lost all his money. He wanted to go back to the Lu family to get money, but was turned away. He then borrowed money at high interest rates to make up for his losses, but ended up losing everything and having his leg broken by the debt collector.
Lu Yaozu's wife was handpicked by Ling Miaoyan. She was not a person who could live a comfortable life. Seeing that he had no money, she abandoned her youngest son and ran away with someone else.
Lu Yaozu ran out of money and sold his youngest son to Nanfeng Pavilion.
The Lu couple couldn't bear it, so they bought the child secretly and sent him to the farm to be well educated.
The money Lu Yaozu earned from selling his children was soon squandered. His legs were broken and he had difficulty moving. One night, he knocked over an oil lamp and died in a fire.
——These are all later stories.
on the other hand.
Ling Miaoyan, who had been brought to the capital, formally met with the Fang family.
