Chapter 634 Xie's audacity
“Father, this is the last time your daughter-in-law will call you. Chang Yunxuan and I have come to hate each other and can no longer live together. He not only hates me, but also has Yanran insult and beat my daughter. No matter what, my daughter is of the Chang family bloodline, but Chang Yunxuan has pushed Qing'er down the steps several times.”
“Today, Chang Yunxuan even stormed into the Xie family and attacked me. It is clear that there is no affection left between us as husband and wife. I implore Father to allow us to divorce. Otherwise, I, Xie Lingyun, will go to the Dali Temple and beat the drum to have the Dali Temple Minister try this case.”
Xie Lingyun's words were eloquent, powerful, and resounding, leaving everyone present speechless.
Song Chunxue was shocked.
This child has become quite remarkable. After all, she is a well-read woman who uses retreat as a means of advancement, advancing step by step. Through back and forth, she advances layer by layer, seizing the opportunity to make the matter irreversible.
Xie Lingyun was determined to get a divorce, even going so far as to move out of the Dali Temple.
She was surprised and relieved, but also a little sad.
How disappointed must this child be to be so determined to divorce her husband?
Moreover, her kneeling on the ground to plead her case today also prevented the Chang family from using the child to control her.
She was very clever; she blocked all escape routes in one fell swoop.
A mother can disregard the consequences for her child, focusing only on the outcome.
She adored the child; he had the appearance of a rabbit, but the courage and strategy of a lion or tiger.
Xie Zheng froze on the spot. "What did you say?"
He stared intently at Chang Yunxuan. "He actually listened to a woman's instigation and beat his own child?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the stick not far away, "You damned man, you're worse than a pig or a dog, you're unworthy of being a father!"
"Oh no, no, no, Third Brother, please calm down."
"Third brother, third brother, calm down. It's not worth it for someone like that. A divorce is the right thing to do. Why dirty your hands?"
"Get out of the way!"
"No, Third Brother, you can't hit him! Take the stick away!"
The scene quickly spiraled out of control, and Xie Zheng, holding a stick, was repeatedly restrained by everyone.
Song Chunxue took a few steps forward. "Why bother fighting with this kind of person? Let's just report it to the authorities."
"Yes, yes, report it to the authorities... Huh? Report it to the authorities?"
...
As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.
Bamboo Garden.
Xie Lingyun looked at the child sleeping on the bed, her expression firm and calm.
Song Chunxue sat on a stool not far away and finally took a sip of tea.
The two children adored her and insisted on being held by her, and they also needed her to feed them dinner.
After eating and playing for a while, they insisted that Song Chunxue coax them to sleep.
She is indeed very good at coaxing children, but she doesn't plan to wholeheartedly coax her grandson in this lifetime.
These two children probably sensed something that adults often overlook; children have pure and insightful hearts.
The people in the front yard were trying to persuade Xie Zheng, saying that since they hadn't seen each other for so long, they should definitely get together to drink and reminisce about the past.
She didn't like the liveliness over there, and with Xie Lingyun's insistence, she had dinner here instead.
"Aunt, do you think I went too far or was too ruthless today?"
Song Chunxue put down her teacup. "No, you must have thought this through carefully, otherwise you wouldn't have handled it so well and naturally. I can tell that you have no lingering feelings for Chang Yunxuan anymore. Leaving room for maneuver will only cause you endless entanglements in the future, and you'll be exhausted from fighting over the child."
“That’s right. The Chang family is extremely concerned about their reputation. Sometimes they’re willing to risk their lives for it. I don’t want to be separated from my child. They will take the child back to get revenge on me, so I have to act decisively.”
Seeing her lowered eyes and twisting her handkerchief, she must have been terrified.
Is it true that Chang Yunxuan abused children?
Xie Lingyun sneered, "If it were fake, Chang Yuxuan would definitely try to explain. I just seized the opportunity, knowing he wouldn't be able to react tonight. I chose him because he wasn't that smart, but he was sincere."
But who knew he was so foolish, so fickle, that he would take back the sincerity he gave her and give it to another woman.
“Actually, he is usually quite good to the child, but that day, Yanran said in front of me that the child did not look like Chang Yunxuan. The child ran over to ask his father to hold him, but he pushed him away. The child fell down the steps and bumped his head. Several maids in the mansion saw it.”
Her voice trembled slightly, "If it really comes to a trial in court, we have witnesses and physical evidence, including the bruise on the child's forehead."
Song Chunxue sighed, "Don't be afraid. Now that things have come to this, they have no face to bully you anymore. Even if they don't divorce now, they will let you go in the future."
However, the Chang family will definitely have to put on a show, pretending to sincerely repent and try to win back Xie Lingyun and the child.
But if they wanted to criticize Xie Lingyun, or even tell others how immature Xie Lingyun was, those who heard the rumors wouldn't believe it.
She was thoughtful and did a great job.
"Relax and get some sleep. You did very well today. From now on, leave things to your father. Even if your father has to leave the capital, he will find you a prestigious backer. Also, you need a bodyguard with excellent skills, so that they don't act recklessly."
Xie Lingyun nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Aunt Song."
“Actually, two months ago, I consulted a fortune teller who said I would meet a benefactor who would help me out of my predicament. I never expected it to be you,” Xie Lingyun said sincerely. “I have also gone through hardships and come to my senses. When my child is a little older, I also want to practice Buddhism.”
Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant aroma?
No one awakens suddenly; it is only through a tortuous fate and intense suffering that one gradually comes to their senses.
"That would be perfect. Life is a journey of self-cultivation. You are very intelligent and you realized this very early, which is a good thing."
After leaving the bamboo grove, Song Chunxue practiced swordsmanship in the garden. After enjoying herself to the fullest, she felt refreshed and relaxed, and then she began to meditate.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the moonlight, as clear as water, shone upon her. She greedily absorbed the essence of the moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, feeling as if a bucket of water was almost full—a feeling that she was about to break through.
She didn't know what level she was at; she just meditated and cultivated diligently.
After finishing her meditation, the front yard quieted down, and she put on her shoes to go back to sleep.
"Are you going to rest?"
Suddenly, someone spoke up across from her.
Upon closer inspection, Xie Zheng was also sitting cross-legged on the bench opposite.
"You scared me! I'm going back to sleep."
Xie Zheng spoke gently, "If you're not sleepy, talk to me for a while."
She wasn't sleepy at all; she went back to sleep simply because she didn't want to meditate anymore, and lying in bed for a while was quite comfortable.
But Xie Zheng was acting strangely tonight. He was dazed after drinking, leaning his head against a pillar and looking at her with a dreamy smile. It was rare to see him so relaxed and carefree.
He seemed quite happy.
I've never cursed as freely or spoken as rudely in my entire life as I have today.
"How much did you drink? Are you drunk?"
“I’m not drunk,” he said, his lips curving into a wider smile as he propped his head up with one hand and looked at her. “I’m very happy today. I haven’t felt this good in four years. Thank you, Xue.”
"Tsk!" Song Chunxue looked disgusted, but her tone was still gentle as she leaned against the other pillar and looked at him. "I still think Sister Song sounds better."
"Sister Song, you are the most legendary teacher in my life, the most amazing teacher I have ever met. May I ask if you could sit next to me and we can talk?"
