If this man had even a little bit of cunning, he wouldn't have been led by the nose by himself, the Qin family, and the Huang family, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Don't be so sarcastic," Huang Xiaosi said, clearly annoyed. "My cousin hasn't done anything wrong to you."
Huang Xiaosi admitted that her cousin was a bit slow-witted, but that was not something a woman could criticize.
He still remembers what the woman said earlier: his cousin's wife had put a hat on his cousin.
No man could tolerate this, yet this woman acted like her cousin had wronged her, which was disgusting!
"Little Si," Huang the eldest scolded, "when adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."
Even if Qin Shi was not a good person, before her cousin divorced her, she was the eldest grandson's wife of the Huang family. As her younger brother, he should not speak rudely to her.
"Oh!" Huang Xiaosi pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
"What on earth happened?" Huang Shan was trembling all over, his hands covering his face shaking uncontrollably. "How could this happen?"
"It's all fate!" Madam Qin sighed softly, her eyes as still and lifeless as dead water. "I can't escape, and neither can you. Any struggle will only become nourishment for death, tightening the noose around your neck."
These words sent chills down everyone's spines.
"Sister-in-law," Huang Xiaosan said thoughtfully, "you asked us to come here just to say this?"
What is this person trying to do?
complain?
Huang Xiaosan always felt that it couldn't be that simple.
"No, I was just saying that casually," Madam Qin looked at everyone with a complicated expression. "I brought you here to tell you that someone wants to deal with the Huang family."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly didn't know what to say.
They considered many possibilities: complaining, protesting, threatening, but they never expected her to come and offer a reminder.
“We already know about this,” Huang Xiaosan said softly. “In any case, thank you for reminding me.”
“We must not let our guard down,” Madam Qin shook her head. “These people are not ordinary desperados. Qingfeng Temple never harbors useless people. Those who can stay here all have some skills…”
Before Qin could finish speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Gan Luo led the steward and thugs in.
"Qin, how dare you!" the steward said with a frosty expression. "Bringing people into the Taoist temple without permission, do you think I'm dead?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xiao Si and Xiao Pang.
He remembered these two people; they were the ones who barged in last time. He didn't do anything to them for fear of alerting them. He didn't expect them to come again this time. What did they think Qingfeng Temple was?
Don't they realize that if Qingfeng Temple's defenses were really that lax, would they have survived until now?
I didn't hold a grudge against those two brats last time, and they actually took advantage of me. If I had known, I shouldn't have left them to cause trouble.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Madam Qin's eyes narrowed slightly before regaining their composure. "The steward has misunderstood. I sent Huang Shan here simply to settle things once and for all."
"Oh?" the steward asked with interest, "How do you plan to settle this?"
The steward actually admired Qin Shi very much.
This seemingly weak and delicate woman is capable of winning the favor of the powerful and wealthy, and manipulating the Qin family at will. If used well, she can become an asset, allowing him to climb even higher, even in middle age.
The organization is spread all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this place is just a remote corner. Although it is comfortable, it lacks the exhilarating feeling of being in control of the overall situation, which he is unwilling to accept.
But, being exiled here with no opportunities, this was how my life would be. I never expected to see the light at the end of the tunnel so soon.
“I’d like a letter of divorce,” Qin explained without changing her expression. “Now Huangshan and I are on different paths. It would be better for everyone if we severed ties.”
No matter how good the Huang family is, she can't go back. She has no chance of leaving Qingfeng Temple now. The more involved she gets with the Huang family, the more dangerous it will be for them.
The Huang family was the only pure land in her heart, and she did not want the filth of the world to taint it.
"Good, very good!" The steward was overjoyed upon hearing this, and did not suppress his praise for Qin Shi at all. "Bring me the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write it myself."
The steward was very satisfied with Qin's pragmatism.
He clearly saw Qin's potential, but her husband was giving the steward a headache.
He is honest, loves his wife, and is devoted to Qin Shi. Although he is not ambitious, he is still a good husband.
He had initially worried that Qin Shi might be reluctant to part with her, but he hadn't expected her to be even more ruthless than he had imagined. Indeed, when a woman becomes ruthless, there's nothing a man can do.
But this kind of ruthlessness is exactly what's needed to manage things.
“Divorce,” Huang Shan looked at Qin Shi, hurt. “Wife, you don’t want me anymore?”
He made so many efforts just to bring his wife home, but this is the result.
I'm not reconciled, I'm extremely unwilling to accept this.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin darkened her eyes and murmured absentmindedly, "I am so dirty now that I am no longer worthy of you. You should find a pure, beautiful, and gentle girl."
“But all I want is you,” Huang Shan said, biting his lip. “I won’t hold the past against you, as long as we live a good life together from now on.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall stared at Huang Shan in shock.
Especially the Huang brothers.
They were puzzled as to what kind of charm the Qin family possessed that made their cousin act in this way.
This seemed unbelievable to them.
The steward was also surprised. He looked at Huangshan strangely and sighed, "I never thought there was such a devoted man in the world."
Although he admired the Qin family, he kept his distance from such venomous people.
Such a vicious woman, if you get entangled with her, you'll probably be devoured without a trace.
Qin was also shocked, and an overwhelming sense of bitterness spread from the tip of her heart, but it felt increasingly bitter.
Suddenly, a tear fell uncontrollably.
She wiped her already red eyes, still firmly refusing, "No, it's over between us, there's no possibility of anything."
My husband is different from me. He is so pure and shouldn't be tainted by my sins.
"Alright," the steward cleared his throat and said, "Madam Qin is now a member of my Qingfeng Temple. She doesn't want to go back to the Huang family, so don't bother her any further, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Although he was deeply moved by Huangshan's infatuation, that was all. He was a black-hearted person who had long forgotten how to write the word "conscience."
If you do too many things to break up couples, which woman who goes to Qingfeng Temple will have a good ending?
What we're dealing with right now is just a minor inconvenience.
In addition, the manager didn't believe that Huangshan would really let it go. They were all men, and everyone knew each other. No matter how reluctant they were now, as time went on, this thorn would be stuck in their hearts, getting deeper and deeper, and then thickening.
At that time, with such a huge handle on Qin Shi, her fate might be even more miserable than if she had stayed at Qingfeng Temple.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but the manager's expression remained unchanged. He took the paper and pen handed to him by his subordinate, waved his hand, and wrote down the letter of divorce.
