Chapter 2616 Mediation
Lord Tang nodded slightly and looked at Madam Mei. "Then, Madam Mei, are you willing to divorce?"
Madam Mei lowered her head, tugged at her handkerchief, and said, "I listen to my father."
This was a very insightful statement. Lord Tang smiled slightly, looked at the young man and said, "Fang Sanlang, you heard what Madam Mei said. The divorce agreement was agreed upon by both of you. Now that you've divorced, you're no longer related. If you continue to pester the Mei family father and daughter, the yamen runners can arrest you for harassment."
"I think Mr. Fang is also a scholar. He should know about propriety, righteousness, and honesty." He said, "Since we have already divorced, it is better to part ways and wish each other well."
Fang Sanlang looked grim and said nothing.
Madam Mei, on the other hand, looked up at him, then stepped forward, knelt down and bowed before saying, "Fang Lang, you and I are not destined to be together. I only hope that everything goes well for you in the future, that you can marry a beautiful wife, and have two children of your own."
Mr. Mei's expression brightened considerably. He pulled his daughter behind him again and said to him, "Fang Sanlang, I'm putting this on hold. If you're willing to reconcile, then that's fine. Otherwise, if you continue to pester me, I have ways to deal with you. Let's not talk about the long-term consequences. After the divorce, shouldn't you repay the money your family owes my family?"
Fang Sanlang shuddered and his face changed drastically.
Mr. Mei stopped talking and bowed to Mr. Tang, saying, "Thank you for coming to bear witness today."
Mr. Tang smiled and stood up, returning the greeting: "Mr. Mei, you are too polite. After all, I am an official of Jingzhao Prefecture. The disputes in the capital are my responsibility."
Fang Sanlang left in a daze.
Mr. Mei was in no hurry to leave, as he knew there must be many other guests waiting to see the joke of him and his daughter.
Fortunately, this is the capital, and not many people know him. If he were in his hometown...
Mr. Mei's expression grew increasingly cold, and he disliked Fang Sanlang even more in his heart.
Madam Mei was also stunned. She was weak and somewhat incompetent, but she was not completely a fool.
Fang Sanlang had hurt her once when he agreed to sign the divorce agreement, and this time she was hurt even more, so she was stunned and speechless.
Bai Shan and Lord Tang knew that the father and daughter needed time to calm down, so they said goodbye and left.
As soon as they returned to the next room, everyone turned their heads and looked at him with sharp eyes. Master Tang waved his hand reservedly and said, "I have sent him away."
Mrs. Tang asked, "How did you get rid of him?"
Lord Tang smiled and said, "I just explained the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty to him, appealed to his emotions, and explained his reasoning. How else can I get rid of him?"
These words were not sincere at all, so Mrs. Tang looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan said to Man Bao, "I think Mr. Fang will have a hard time in the future."
Bai Jilang: "Mr. Mei wants to take revenge on him?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Even if I don't retaliate, he won't be able to have an easy life."
He said, "From what Mr. Mei said, the Mei family paid a lot for the marriage between the Mei and Fang families, and the Fang family has debts to the Mei family. Even under such circumstances, Fang Sanlang is thinking of taking a concubine and having a child, so that the concubine's child can inherit the Mei family..."
Bai Shan shook his head, feeling somewhat lost for words. "Moreover, when they divorced, Mr. Mei gave him a sum of money, but it seems he only came to the capital to seek reconciliation after spending almost all of it. He's so... incompetent. Even if Mr. Mei hadn't helped, he wouldn't have had a good life."
Lord Tang nodded in agreement and said to them, "You have to make your own way through life. I've tried so many cases and have seen many people like Fang Sanlang."
He snapped open his folding fan, fanned it, and then smiled, "In this world, everything is subject to dissipation. Money, power, even the love between husband and wife, or between father and son, only one thing will only accumulate and never dissipate."
Everyone looked at him curiously, "What?"
Lord Tang raised his chin slightly and said, "Skill!"
Manbao, Baishan and others seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Tang also nodded, but only halfway. Then she looked at Mr. Tang with a half-smile and asked, "Besides money and power, what else will dissipate?"
Mr. Tang froze, looking around and talking about something else. "Should we order some refreshments? I'm a little hungry after all this running around."
Bai Shan smiled and was about to call the waiter in to take his order when there was a knock on the door.
The maid guarding the door opened it, and a waiter came in with fruits, snacks, and tea, saying with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is what the distinguished guest in the private room next door ordered for you."
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Has the guest next door left?"
"Just left."
Bai Shan nodded and looked at Manbao.
Manbao looked down from the window, paying close attention to Madam Mei's expression. Seeing that she looked a little worried, but not too bad, he nodded and said with a smile, "Madam Mei is beyond my expectations."
Madam Tang peeled a lotus seed and ate it, saying nonchalantly, "This isn't a marriage based on mutual love. Even if we've been married for a few years and don't have children, can that be stronger than the love between father and daughter?"
Mr. Mei was also a little worried about his daughter, so when he got home he pulled her aside and asked, "Do you blame your father?"
Madam Mei shook her head. "I know Father is doing this for my own good, but..."
She bit her lip and whispered, "But what about the child?"
Mr. Mei felt helpless and said to her, "I'll just marry another one later. Besides, whether we have children or not, I don't really care right now. I just hope you have a safe and smooth future."
He reached out and touched her head, sighing, "You are my father's child. Raising a child is not easy. You are more important to a grandson or granddaughter you have never met. If you really want to raise a child, you can choose a child from the clan to adopt."
But Mr. Mei didn't really want to use this method. His daughter was too soft-tempered. If he was gone, and she adopted a child, not only would the adopted child's biological parents be likely to suppress her in the future, but the adopted child might also suppress her if he couldn't establish himself.
It would be better not to have children.
Mr. Mei became worried and decided to come to see the doctor tomorrow. He had to ask her when Mrs. Mei's condition would be cured.
There is a big difference between biological children and non-biological children.
As long as she gives birth to a child, no matter it is a boy or a girl, and raises it well for more than ten years, the old lady's future will be secure.
After Manbao was sure that her current acupuncture and medication were effective for Madam Mei, she stopped asking Keke to scan her. After all, she also needed to earn points, right?
During this period of consultation, she has been making judgments based on the pulse.
So when he heard Mr. Mei's question, Manbao listened carefully to the pulse, then took Mrs. Mei to check it out. After pondering for a while, he said to Keke, "I think it's unblocked, but there's still some uterine cold. How about you take a scan?"
Koko: “Points.”
Manbao said generously: "Go ahead."
So Keke stopped and showed Zhou Man the scan results.
I am too tired to go out today, so I won’t add more. I will add more tomorrow.
