Chapter 333 Disrupting the Wedding
Cai, standing beside Du Wanchun, looked at the newlyweds in front of her with a burning hatred.
She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly, and tears slowly streaming down her face.
Han Yan'er took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Madam, it's better to be without a man like that."
Cai took the handkerchief, her eyes slightly dazed, as memories flooded her mind, including the day she was sold to a servant.
She raised her eyes, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Yes, a man like that is better off without."
Du Wanchun turned her head to look at her and said slowly, "Madam, with so many guests here today, someone will surely uphold justice for you."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cai's eyes narrowed, and she abruptly turned around and went to the inner room behind her, where she took paper and pen from the table and wrote down the divorce agreement.
Fortunately, she had learned to write from the village's old scholar since childhood, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to write this divorce agreement today.
Inside the courtyard, firecrackers were going off, and the officiant was shouting for the couple to bow to each other.
Holding the divorce papers, Cai dropped her pretense and rushed over, shouting, "Wait!"
Upon hearing the voice, Lord Li looked up abruptly and saw that it was his first wife, whom he had sold.
He was immediately alarmed and hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Guards, someone is disrupting my wedding. Take her away immediately!"
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that Cai was dressed simply, everyone really thought she was some crazy old woman causing trouble.
Just then, an old man dressed in gray clothes stroked his beard and said from the crowd, "Lord Li, look, don't mistake him for someone else. This is a guest who came with me."
The gentleman in gray was a trusted confidant of Wei Xun, and his surname was Fan.
After Wei Xun arrived at the mansion disguised as a servant, he made contact with him and asked him to protect this Lady Cai.
Master Fan was, after all, a third-rank official. If he said the woman was a guest, then she was a guest.
Lord Li was speechless for a moment. His eyes darted around, and just as he was thinking about what to do, Madam Cai took out the divorce papers and placed them on the table, saying, "Mr. Li, if you want to marry another woman, you have to divorce me first."
Upon hearing this, the people below the hall began to murmur, "What? A divorce agreement? Could it be that Lord Li is already married?"
"Lord Li is well past twenty years old, and may even be married."
"If you're already married, why did you marry the adopted daughter of Prince Rong?"
"Really? What kind of talk is that?"
......
The voices of the guests below grew louder and louder.
The bride, her head covered by a red veil, bit her red lips, unable to bear it any longer. She yanked off her veil and looked at Cai Shi. Seeing that she was just a peasant woman, her face immediately filled with disdain. She sternly asked Lord Li, "Who is this shrew? Is what she said true?"
Lord Li stammered, unsure how to respond, "This...this is..."
Not to be outdone, Madam Cai interrupted, "You, surnamed Cai, want to marry another woman without divorcing me? Do you intend to disregard the law and marry a concubine? You have no respect for the law."
After saying that, he raised his cold eyes and looked at the bride, "Or, do you intend to take this girl as a concubine?"
"A concubine? You want me to be a concubine? Do you know who I am?" The bride was so angry that she almost forgot her proper demeanor and cursed out loud.
Lord Li immediately helped her up, saying, "My lady, don't worry, don't worry."
The bride shoved him away, "So you're one to mess with me now that you have a wife at home! I'm going to tell the Prince and have him punish you!"
As she spoke, she turned to leave.
Lord Li pulled her back, looking nervous, and said, "Wait, this woman is talking nonsense. Don't believe her. I have never married."
As he spoke, he turned to Cai and retorted, "You woman are really being unreasonable. I don't even know you, so how could I have a divorce? Get out of here, or I'll make things difficult for you."
Madam Cai snorted coldly and said, "You surnamed Li, you don't want me to marry you, do you? Then should I call over the clan head of your old mansion and have him bear with me and see if I am truly your wife?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to the guests below and shouted loudly, "I have been married to him for years, taking care of his grandparents and serving his parents-in-law. I have always worked hard without complaint. Now that my parents-in-law have been laid to rest, he does not acknowledge me!"
"Not only that, he also sent someone to lure me outside the city, intending to sell me to his servant! So that I would never be able to recover!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her finger trembling as she pointed at Lord Li, "This man is a heartless traitor, he doesn't deserve to be a local official at all!"
The servants below sighed in dismay and began pointing at Lord Li.
"I never expected Lord Li to be so heartless. Not only did he abandon his wife who had shared his hardships, but he also sent someone to sell her."
"Yes, didn't he also want this lady dead?"
"They say a night of marriage brings a hundred days of kindness, why has it come to this!"
"yes."
Lord Li's face turned green upon hearing their gossip. He frantically shouted to the guards beside him, "Go! Throw this woman out of here, now!"
