Chapter 47: Divorce or Continue
Qi's words completely froze the atmosphere.
"How can you talk to the Third Young Miss like that?" Wang Qiang ran over from a distance and happened to hear what Qi said. He immediately put on a fierce face and said, wanting to speak up for Qin Xiangnuan, "I'm not from the General's Mansion. I only recognize General Qin. Don't use your status in the mansion to pressure me. Apologize to the Third Young Miss!"
Qin Xiangnuan stood there, her almond-shaped eyes turned cold as she glanced at Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang felt a strong aura, and he lowered his head in shame and stepped aside.
Qin Xiangnuan wanted to say something, but Liu pushed her arm away and protected her behind her. Liu was frail and disliked taking charge of things at the mansion, so Zou was the one who handled all the affairs there. Today, she acted like the mistress of the house and approached Qi, saying, "If you, my third sister-in-law, have any complaints, please tell me. I have some authority, don't I?"
"Or do you want to ask your mother to come out?"
Liu's words were calm, yet oppressive.
Qi couldn't say anything else. She just rolled her eyes twice and pointed at Qin Wen, saying, "You are all family, all surnamed Qin. Naturally, I can't compare with you. You say I enjoy the splendor and wealth of the general's mansion? I don't agree! You also know that Qin Wen likes to act noble. On weekdays, the food, clothing and daily expenses of the third room are ordinary. Even if there are some rewards, they are all pushed around by him."
"I believe I've done my best for your Qin family! I've even walked this long road of exile with you."
Qi was also desperate. With things getting to this point, she closed her eyes and steeled her heart. She said, "Please, sister-in-law, let Qin Wen and I divorce, or he can just give me a divorce letter. From now on, I won't accompany you on this journey. I'll find a villager and take Song'er with me, so I won't be a burden to you. You can also save some food and water, so you don't have to worry about it being insufficient."
Who is this mocking?
This is the first time I see someone who did something wrong being able to blame others with a clear conscience!
Qin Xiangnuan was speechless about the third aunt in front of her, but due to the original owner's identity, she could not say anything. She could only stand behind Liu and silently look at everyone's expressions. When these words came out, everyone, including Qin Wen, was stunned. No one would have thought that Qi would have such thoughts.
"This is impossible! Song'er is the blood of our Qin family, he is our flesh and blood. There is no way he can follow you."
Old Madam Qin listened for a long while from behind, and she was so angry that her breathing became rapid. She stood up with the help of a dragon-headed cane.
Everyone present knew that if Qin Xiangsong stayed with the Qi family, he would become an unlearned and unskillful person in a few years. The Qin family could not afford to have such a person around. Qi held Qin Xiangsong in her arms, hesitating for a moment, but not insisting. "Okay, then, Song'er will follow you, and I'll leave on my own," she said without hesitation. Qin Wen remained silent for a long moment.
"Are you serious?"
Qin Wen took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone, "We were once husband and wife. Do you really want to end our relationship?"
"I've had enough of this miserable life with you."
Qi rolled her eyes and spoke without a friendly attitude towards Qin Wen. She had agreed to marry into the General's Mansion simply to live a comfortable life, not because she was in love at first sight or had a special affection for him. When she married, Qin Wen fell seriously ill, and Qi diligently attended to him by his bedside. Everyone praised her as a good wife, but only she knew in her heart that she had believed that if Qin Wen died, she would definitely not be able to stay in the General's Mansion.
How could a widow remarry and marry into a better mansion than the general's at that time?
No matter what, Qi has always only thought about himself and never considered others.
"In that case, then I..."
Just as Qin Wen was about to nod his agreement, Xu Jian suddenly emerged from behind. He bowed to Old Lady Qin and Lady Liu, performing the formalities first, then said, "This is your family affair, and it's not for us to interfere. But I want to tell the Third Madam that when His Majesty issued the decree, he mentioned the exiles from the General's Mansion, and your name is on the list. Even if something unexpected happens along the way, you can't leave without permission and return to the capital or stay in the village here. In other words, even if it means a divorce, you must follow us to the border."
"But after you get to the border, you can choose another place and not live with the people in the general's mansion."
Xu Jian explained the situation to Qi, who looked embarrassed.
Haha, this is called shooting oneself in the foot, right?
Qin Xiangnuan felt a little gloating and couldn't control the curve of her lips. If Xu Jian had said this a minute earlier, Qi might not have staged the drama just now. Now that things have come to this, their faces have been torn apart. How to go on in the next few months will definitely be a miserable life for Qi.
"You! You only know how to bully me, a mere woman. You don't understand these things!"
Qi sat on the ground, shaking her hands.
Xu Jian took out the list from his bag and pointed at the words on it, "If Third Madam can read, you can take a look. Your name is on the list. We are just doing our duty. Please don't make things difficult for us." After he said that, he left without looking back.
Everyone in the general's mansion also dispersed, not wanting to listen to Qi crying and wiping her tears anymore.
Qin Wen looked at the woman who had been with him for several years with a chilling heart, and asked in a very low voice, "So, do you still need me to give you a divorce letter? Don't worry, if you need it, I can give it to you at any time." He glanced at Qin Xiangsong, and finally gave it to him for the sake of his son. "If not, remember not to put yourself in such a situation in the future. Take care of yourself."
"Ouch...you are all bullies!"
Qi didn't answer that question in the end, just wailing on the spot. Qin Xiangnuan glanced at her, her heart and eyes full of contempt. Although it was normal for a woman to rely on her husband's family in the current situation, she ate and used the Qin family's things, but still complained about the Qin family. What kind of logic was this?
"Little sister, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Qin Feng came over to apologize with Beibei in his arms, explaining the whole story to her, "If we hadn't let Brother Song see it..."
"Even if she didn't see it, she would find a reason to make a scene. It has nothing to do with you."
Qin Xiangnuan was a little tired and pointed at Qin Wen's lonely back in the distance. "If you really want to apologize, go and tell your uncle. He probably needs someone to talk to right now."
