Chapter 269 Farewell!
After hearing what Luo Jinqiu said, Su Mo quickly wrote their marriage certificate and took it to the government office to complete the household registration. After some arrangements, the person in charge of the government office quickly added the names of his cousin Luo and her daughter to his household registration.
Wife: Luo Jinqiu, stepdaughter: Su Qianqian.
When Luo Jinqiu saw the household registration, she was stunned: "So fast?" Could it be that after she put her fingerprints on the marriage certificate and left, her cousin Su went to the yamen immediately?
Su Mo: "Qianqian, since you followed your mother into my Su family, we want to register you as a resident. The government's condition is that you have to change your surname from Lou to Su. But if you don't like it, you can still call yourself Lou to others in the future."
Lou Qianqian: "It's okay, I don't want the surname Lou either, Su is also good."
Just as he finished speaking, Lou Qin's miserable cries were heard outside the shop:
"Fellow villagers, please come and help this poor old man like me! After my business failed, my daughter actually despised me, a father with nothing!"
"Woo woo! I have raised her for sixteen years and never let her down. I have given her everything she asked for. Now she just walks away with her mother who committed adultery and refuses to acknowledge me as her father!"
The people were not so angry when they heard that Lou Qianqian did not acknowledge her father, but when they heard that she followed her mother who had an affair, they were furious:
"What? A daughter like this is probably the same as her mother, right?"
"Hey, who is this man's daughter? I have to make a note of this. When my son is looking for a wife, he must avoid this man's daughter."
Luo Jinqiu rushed out and glared fiercely at Lou Qin who was sitting on the ground in front of the shop and acting like a rogue:
"You're talking nonsense. You killed your wife and concubine for that prostitute, and you almost killed us mother and daughter. Now, the son born by that prostitute is not yours, and all your family wealth has been swept away. You want to blame us mother and daughter again!"
Hearing this, Lou Qin covered his face and sobbed, crying as if he was about to die: "Everyone! I just made a mistake that all men in the world would make. Can you tell me which man can be as sincere as me? I have only had her as my wife for more than 20 years and never took a concubine."
"That prostitute was just an accident when I was negotiating business with someone. Besides, I only have one daughter. Let me ask you, if someone suddenly told you that you could have two biological sons, would you not be excited?"
"I just wanted to give the woman who gave birth to my two sons a status as a concubine. Who knew that as the principal wife, she was too intolerant and almost killed my two sons! And I caught him having an affair with someone else. Was it wrong for me to divorce her?"
"But even though I divorced her, I never said I was willing to let her take my daughter away!"
When everyone heard these words, coupled with Lou Qin's crying, they all felt heartbroken.
Su Mo: "Who said this is your daughter? It's obviously my daughter, Su Mo."
Lou Tan: "What do you mean your daughter? Her name is Lou Qianqian, my Lou Tan's child!"
"Oh, I just happened to have my household registration with me, and it clearly states that she is my daughter, Su Mo, Su Qianqian!! As for the Lou Qianqian you mentioned, I'm afraid it's someone else! If you recognize my daughter, please open your eyes and don't recognize the wrong person."
Su Mo opened the household registration and waved it in front of Lou Qin. Lou Qin saw that it said legal wife: Luo Jinqiu, stepdaughter: Su Qianqian. He pointed at Luo Jinqiu beside him with disbelief in his eyes:
"Slut!! You're getting married again so soon, it seems like you two have been hooking up together for a long time???"
Su Mo: "She and you have not been married for almost half a year. She is such a good woman, she will never have trouble finding a husband. I have a good eye for talent, so why can't I marry her?"
"Moreover, this is also the law that the current empress asked the late emperor to change. A woman can remarry regardless of whether her husband is dead or divorced. Why, in your eyes, a woman who remarries is a slut?"
"So, you are against the laws of Fenglin Country, and against the laws that the current empress originally requested and changed. Is that right?"
Everyone was so scared when they heard this that they quickly shut their mouths. This is fatal! Who dares to say that the remarried daughter is a slut? Isn't this a slap in the face of the empress? This is a challenge to the empress! Who dares! That is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family!
Lou Tan was also shocked when he heard Su Mo's words. Thinking about what he said, he was saying that the empress was wrong in disguise! The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Sweat broke out on his forehead!
Just when everyone was in a stalemate and kept silent, a group of yamen runners came over:
"Who is Lou Tan?"
Lou Tan was shocked when he saw the seven or eight officials appearing. Could it be that the empress had super hearing? She heard it so quickly!
"Sir, I was just impulsive and said that! I really didn't mean to slander the Empress!"
The leading officer asked again in a cold voice: "Are you Lou Tan?"
“Yes…yes!”
The leading officer waved his hand and said, "Take him back to the government office!"
Lou Tan: "Sir, I...I didn't do anything wrong, why are you arresting me?"
The common people watched as the man was taken away by the police! Originally, they all sided with Lou Tan because of his pitiful and heartbroken crying. But now that they saw him being taken away by the police, they all sided with Luo Jinqiu and started to point fingers at Lou Tan who was being taken away.
Luo Jinqiu looked at Lou Qin who was suddenly taken away, confused, and looked at Su Mo and asked: "You did it?"
Su Mo shook his head: "No! I'll send someone to find out what happened. It would be best if he spends the rest of his life in jail!"
On the other side, Xu Zhiyi, Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan were saying goodbye to Ji Silan.
"Okay, take care of yourself," he said, looking at Shen Changan, "Changan, if you have anything in the future, write to your brother."
Shen Changan nodded: “Okay, brother, have a safe journey!”
Shen Wuyou: “Brother, have a safe journey!”
Hearing this, Ji Silan went over and patted Shen Wuyou’s shoulder, nodding heavily: “Okay, I didn’t expect that this time I would not only recognize my own brother, but I was also lucky enough to have a younger brother like you. From now on, I, Ji Silan, will also be your brother!”
After saying that, he looked at Xu Zhiyi who was standing beside him and reminded her, "Sister-in-law, I checked on that man last time, but I haven't found anything wrong with him yet. You have to be more careful in the future!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, I understand, but he hasn't shown up in so many days, maybe he left!"
Ji Silan: "You better be cautious!"
As he said this, he stepped onto the carriage, waved to Xu Zhiyi and the other two, and told the coachman, "Let's go!"
Shen Changan looked at the carriage going farther and farther away, feeling reluctant to leave. Although he was not very close to this so-called brother at the beginning, after spending these days together, he completely accepted this brother in his heart.
