Chapter 60 A trivial matter, making a mountain out of a molehill



"Jiaojiao, get up first."

"I'll have him come over and explain to you that he really didn't do this. Please trust him one more time."

"Even if you want a divorce, it's a matter between the two of you, not something that's caused by a third party. That would be a huge loss."

"Aren't you just letting that bitch get what she wanted?"

Su Yujiao refused to get up no matter what. She didn't want to hear any explanations, she just wanted a divorce agreement and to get far away from this place of trouble.

Zhou sent people to urge him again and again, and Lu Ziqian finally arrived late.

Why are you kneeling on the ground? What happened?

Lu Ziqian was completely baffled. She had rarely mentioned divorce in the past few days, so what was she up to today?

Zhou pulled the person close and said anxiously, "Quickly explain to Jiaojiao that you didn't do it."

"Explain what?"

Do you recognize this?

Lu Ziqian immediately recognized the straw doll in Zhou's hand and the black pottery jar.

His expression changed drastically: "You went to the Ghost Temple?"

"Who went?"

Zhou's expression changed: "Did you really do this?"

Lu Ziqian's expression was serious: "Who did I ask?"

Su Yujiao suddenly stood up, looked directly at him, and said with trembling lips, "I went!"

"What, are you furious now that your conspiracy has been exposed?"

Looking at the woman's angry expression, Lu Ziqian felt inexplicably guilty: "Jiaojiao, it's not what you think."

"What is it?"

"I brought everything back, and you're still trying to deny it?"

Lu Ziqian felt somewhat helpless, but more so annoyed. Whenever Chen Yunniang was involved, she would act like a hedgehog, ready to prick up at any moment.

Who would have thought that something from so long ago would be discovered by her?

"Can you calm down? That's all in the past, so don't dwell on it."

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be angry."

"Besides, you can't take ghosts and gods seriously; it's just to give her some psychological comfort."

Su Yujiao sneered, her eyes slightly red and swollen, her lips trembling: "You want me to let this go?"

"She wants me dead, and you're telling me not to bother with her?"

Lu Ziqian disliked her aggressive attitude and roared irritably, "Enough! Aren't you alright?"

"It's been so long, what's the point of you always bringing up old grievances?"

Hearing his impatient roar, Su Yujiao closed her eyes in despair and clenched her palms tightly.

I told myself that this is the consequence of being a jerk!

How many times do I have to be hurt by him before I finally give up on him completely!

"Mother, please do me justice!" Su Yujiao knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"If you don't agree, then come and collect my body tomorrow."

Zhou was still in shock and completely dumbfounded.

Did Lao Qi really do it?

"If you want to die, go die now. Who are you threatening?"

"Making a mountain out of a molehill over such a small matter!"

Frustrated, Lu Ziqian kicked the madman over, cursed, and stormed off.

By the time Zhou realized what was happening, Lu Ziqian was already far away.

Mrs. Zhou was completely at a loss. It really was her son who did it, and this was his attitude after being exposed.

Under these circumstances, could she still persuade Jiaojiao to stay?

Isn't that too selfish?

Su Yujiao sat on the ground, hugging her knees with both hands, burying her face in her palms, and large tears slid down her fingers.

"Jiaojiao!"

Seeing Su Yujiao's heartbroken and distressed appearance, Zhou wanted to offer some words of comfort, but she didn't know how.

"Mother, please."

"This is truly torture!!"

"I'm so overwhelmed I can't breathe, I'm really going crazy..."

Seeing her daughter-in-law's distress and breakdown, Zhou also started to cry.

The two of them had clearly stopped arguing during this period, so why did things suddenly turn out like this?

"Mother, I'm really going crazy. If it weren't for my older brother and parents, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

"Mother, please help me."

Zhou said helplessly and with heartache, "Jiaojiao, let me help you deal with him, don't cry."

"Why don't you go back to your parents' house for a couple of days? After a couple of days, your mother will personally bring him to pick you up."

Su Yujiao shook her head: "Mother, I want a divorce!!"

"If all else fails, you can give me a letter of divorce."

"I don't care about anything now, I just want to leave him as soon as possible."

Zhou shook her head repeatedly: "You're not the one in the wrong, how can I give you a divorce letter?"

"Moreover, it is a great disgrace for a woman to be divorced. What will you do in the future?"

Ms. Zhou firmly disagreed with issuing a letter of divorce.

Su Yujiao was emotional and didn't want to stay in this house for even a second longer.

“Then let’s get a divorce. I’ll imitate Lu Ziqian’s handwriting to write a divorce agreement and sign his name on it. You’ll accompany me to the official media to get it stamped.”

"With your testimony, the state media will not ignore this."

"As long as it's stamped and the divorce papers are signed, it's valid; there's no need to go through him at all."

Zhou's eyes widened, speechless with surprise. It seemed that Jiaojiao was determined to get a divorce, and she could even come up with such a method.

"This...this is not possible."

"Someone, someone come quickly, go and find Old Seven for me."

This brat made a mess of his own business and then dumped it on her to clean up. Isn't that making her the villain?

Su Yujiao suddenly stood up, her face resolute: "Mother, if you don't agree, I will hang myself at the gate of the General's Mansion tomorrow."

Lu Ziqian did not return home all night and had no idea that things had turned upside down at home.

Su Yujiao kept her word. The next day at noon, while everyone was putting up couplets and hanging lanterns, she hung a white silk ribbon at the entrance of the General's Mansion and stood on a stool to prepare to hang herself up.

She didn't really want to die; she just wanted to push Zhou Shi to her limit.

Su Yujiao knew that Zhou was soft-hearted and wouldn't really cause a death.

She did this without giving the General's Mansion any face; she wanted to force herself to go all the way and leave no way back!

It's time for her and Lu Ziqian to end things.

"Jiaojiao, don't be silly!!"

"Come down quickly, and your mother will agree."

Su Yujiao stood on the stool and didn't get down. Instead, she had Xiao Tao hand over the divorce papers and inkpad, and asked Zhou Shi to put her fingerprint on them.

"Xiao Tao, prepare the carriage and head to the yamen."

Left with no other choice, Zhou could only follow Su Yujiao into the carriage.

As she left, she gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper was so anxious that he developed blisters on his lips.

They searched all night but couldn't find him. Where was he supposed to find the general in such a short time?

It's too late, absolutely too late!

Oh no, it seems the general and the young mistress are really going to get a divorce this time.

That general is really something. He's not home when it matters most, and when he comes back he's a bachelor again, his wife has already run away!

Zhou kept complaining of dizziness the whole way, asking the driver to slow down.

The coachman understood Madam Lu's meaning and was already trying his best to stall for time.

A large horse-drawn carriage was dragging its feet on the bustling street, prompting passersby to urge and shout: "Your carriage is made of paper, it's slower than a person walking!!"

"Yes, my eighty-year-old mother is faster than your carriage!"
