Chapter 804 Li Shi Wants a Divorce
The fact that Shu Yu was exiled was hardly a secret.
Even if everyone intended to keep it from the eldest aunt, so much time had passed, and given how suddenly the second wife left, she would surely find out if she wanted to investigate.
To Shu Yu's surprise, Li Shi reacted after finding out.
In Da Bao's letter, he wrote, "Does your aunt want to divorce your uncle?"
"What???" The old lady was shocked, and the others sat up straight, their expressions becoming serious.
Shu Yu said, "After my aunt found out about my exile, she was afraid that it would implicate the eldest branch of the family, so she demanded that my uncle sever ties with our family. My uncle and Da Niu disagreed, so my aunt threatened my uncle to divorce me."
Li probably never imagined there would be such a path.
But Da Ya had just gone through something like that last year, which opened up new avenues of thought for her.
After reading it, Shu Yu couldn't help but look at the old lady.
The latter's expression, however, was unusually calm, to the point of being abnormal.
After a long pause, she sneered, "So, did they get a divorce?"
Shu Yu was both amused and exasperated. "No."
How could they really get a divorce? That was just something Li said to threaten my uncle. My third uncle is the kind of person who thrives on chaos, and the wording in the letter was extremely exaggerated.
But if Uncle really did get a divorce, Da Niu wouldn't keep quiet about it.
The old lady felt a little sorry about it. "They should be allowed to divorce. That Li woman is even more clueless than your third aunt. Doesn't she realize that if it were really going to affect her, she would have waited until now?"
Shu Yu gently tugged at the old lady's hand to comfort her, "Grandma, don't be angry. We know what kind of person Auntie is. Let's ignore her and keep watching."
The old lady hummed in agreement, and Shu Yu continued.
The following content consists of various miscellaneous events, with Uncle San primarily describing the jokes about the eldest son's family. It's fortunate that Da Niu was kind enough not to write about the third son's family's affairs; otherwise, who knows who would be laughing at whom.
However, Uncle San expressed his gratitude for the tea and local specialties that Shu Yu sent, writing almost half a page of thanks. He implied that he hoped they would send back as many as possible, and that they should send back anything of value they had.
After reading it, Shu Yu couldn't help but shake her head. The next moment, she pinched her fingers and realized that Da Bao's letter had ended, but there seemed to be another one after it.
She was stunned for a moment, not noticing it before. But when she took it out, she saw that it was a neatly written letter, even more elegant and flowing than the two letters that Da Niu had had written for him.
The handwriting looks somewhat familiar.
Shu Yu glanced at the signature and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a letter from Tang Wenqian!"
Tang Wenqian?
The Lu family all craned their necks, asking, "Why did Scholar Tang write a letter? What did he say in it?"
Shu Yu glanced at it briefly and said in a low voice, "He apologized to me. He said he had wanted to write to apologize earlier, but he didn't know the exact address. This time, we sent some local specialties back home, and when we learned that the Lu family wanted to reply, we put the letter in with them and sent it over."
The old lady sighed, "It's not his fault. He never intended to tell anyone. I heard that because of this, the Tang family was taken to the county government office for questioning by Magistrate Xiang."
Tang's mother was quite frightened at the time, and even fell ill after returning home.
Shu Yu smiled and, after reading the contents of the letter, said, "However, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. Tang Xiucai went to the prefectural city to take the provincial examination, and the results have already come out. Although his ranking was not very high, he still passed the exam. Now he has not only become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examination), but he is also helping Lord Xiang with his affairs in the county government."
