Chapter 2615 Witness
Mr. Mei helped him up. Fang Sanlang's hands and feet were weak, and he did not dare to disobey under his gaze, and stood up tremblingly.
Mr. Mei let go of his hand and said coldly, "Go upstairs."
He turned and went upstairs. Yin Huo winked at Bai Erlang and Liu Huan, and the two of them immediately helped the man upstairs, one on each side.
Bai Shanze fell behind and called the waiter over, saying, "Is there any empty private room over there? Can you give us another one?"
The waiter said cleverly, "Yes, yes, the one on the right is empty, but it's a little small."
There's nothing to be afraid of, there are only a few people.
Bai Shan nodded at him, caught up with them, went upstairs, walked past Mr. Mei, and smiled as he pushed open the door of the box next to him to let them in.
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan helped the person in and turned to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan nodded to them, and the two of them put the young man down, bowed to Mr. Mei and left.
Bai Shan also bowed to Mr. Mei and said with a smile, "If you three have anything to say, why not say it here, or sit down and rest for a while, and then talk later when both sides have calmed down."
What this means is that if they feel it is inconvenient here, they can just sit for a while and find an excuse to leave, and then deal with it at home.
Mr. Mei was very grateful for Bai Shan's thoughtfulness and returned the greeting, "Thank you very much for today, Lord Bai. This is not something that should be avoided. If Lord Bai doesn't mind, why not stay and be a witness for us?"
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying, "If you need a witness, I can recommend someone. There's a Mr. Tang who's also in this building. He was once the magistrate of Chang'an County and is currently the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture. Although this is just an ordinary family matter, it's most appropriate to ask him to be a witness for something like this. If Mr. Mei doesn't mind, I'll invite Mr. Tang over now."
Mr. Mei thought for a moment and then nodded, "Thank you, Master Bai."
The young man stared at Bai Shan in a daze. He didn't expect that this handsome man was already an official. He didn't look very old, between the age of a teenager and a young man, and looked particularly young.
Bai Shan smiled at him kindly, then left the box to look for Lord Tang.
Manbao had already dragged Princess Mingda and the others back to their private room as soon as Mr. Mei turned around to go up the stairs.
She knew that Madam Mei had a delicate face. If she knew that she had watched the whole thing, she would definitely cry to death when she went to see her for a follow-up consultation next time. If she didn't cry to death, she would just not want to see her for treatment again, so it was better to avoid her.
Bai Shan came over to invite Tang He. Tang He's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up and straightened his clothes. He smiled reservedly and said, "I didn't expect that you would be judging cases outside a month after resigning."
Mrs. Tang gave him a warning look, "Don't be so complacent. Divorce is not a good thing. Take away that look on your face."
Tang He said: "Am I that kind of person?"
He said, "I am the most serious person."
Bai Shan glanced at Manbao, then went over with Tang He to be a witness. He was actually a little curious as well.
Tang He walked over with a serious face, showing his authority. When the young man saw this, he felt even more uneasy.
Mr. Mei invited Tang He and Bai Shan to sit at the head of the table, then sat down beside him and said, "Let your Excellency know that the marriage between our Mei and Fang families was actually cancelled more than two months ago. The two children divorced, and both parties agreed."
The young man fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Father, I never thought of leaving with Auntie, but they were not at home at the time. I had no choice but to agree temporarily. However, I rushed to the capital almost immediately. I..."
Mr. Mei raised his hand to interrupt him, sighing, "Fang Lang, I don't mean to bring up the various conflicts you've had over the years since you got married. I just want you to part ways amicably. If I really tear apart everything you've said and done over the years, the little friendship we've built up over the years will almost be gone."
Fang Sanlang looked at Madam Mei with red eyes and said affectionately, "Madam, Madam, are you willing to leave me? Have you completely disregarded the love we've had as husband and wife for so many years?"
A flash of anger crossed Mr. Mei's face, and he pursed his lips, and the trace of kindness in his expression instantly disappeared.
Madam Mei glanced at her father, bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "Fang Lang, my father is right. I can't have children. Now that you have money, you can marry a wife to carry on the family line."
"I don't need children," Fang Sanlang said, looking at her affectionately, "I just want my wife."
Mr. Mei said expressionlessly, "Really? But didn't you mention taking a concubine and having children last year?"
"Father, even if I take a concubine and have a child, it will be mine and my aunt's child, and his surname will also be Mei."
Not to mention Mr. Mei, even Lord Tang and Bai Shan twitched their faces, not knowing what expression to make.
Bai Shan said, "This statement is indeed unusual, but it also shows Mr. Fang's good intentions. In that case, Mr. Mei might as well consider it."
He smiled and said, "It's not that Madam Mei is infertile, it's just that it's difficult to keep the fetus. In my opinion, it could be that the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious. Why not let Madam Mei take in a few male concubines? Maybe they can give birth to children? Then these children will also be Master Fang's children, and they will all have the surname Mei. I believe Master Fang will treat these children as his own."
Fang Sanlang widened his eyes, and Mei Niangzi was even more stunned.
Mr. Mei looked serious, but he was speechless for a long time.
Instead, Lord Tang glared at Bai Shan, warned him, and said to the three of them, "This kid is a bit reckless. Mr. Mei, don't take it to heart."
He asked, "Have the two families divorced?"
"Yes," Mr. Mei came back to his senses and immediately replied, "The letter of agreement is at home. If you want to see it, I'll send someone to get it for you."
Lord Tang nodded slightly, looked at Fang Sanlang, and asked, "Since you already have a written agreement, why are you still harassing your ex-wife's family?"
Fang Sanlang said quickly, "Sir, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. When my father sent someone back to ask for a divorce, it was my parents who made the decision on my behalf. At the time, I was powerless and only wanted to quickly go to the capital to find my father-in-law and wife to ask the reason, so I signed the agreement."
Mr. Mei said, "Sir, the agreement was signed over three months ago, and he only arrived in the capital ten days ago. The longest he'd been here from Jiangnan was only half a month, yet he'd been gone for three whole months."
Who would believe him if he said he was anxious?
Fang Sanlang quickly explained that it was because he fell ill on the way, which delayed him.
Mr. Tang glanced back and forth at them, then asked with a smile, "Why did Mr. Mei want the couple to divorce?"
Mr. Mei paused and decided to be frank, so he said, "Sir, I only have this one daughter. She is in poor health and may not be able to have children in the future. But Fang Sanlang has always wanted to take a concubine and have children. He even encouraged my daughter to change the surname of the second child to Fang."
"Perhaps I am being petty, but parents who love their children always plan for the long term. I always have to consider my daughter's future, so I don't think they are suitable to be together anymore."
