When Ye Shu heard that he came to her to give her a divorce letter, she was immediately furious.
Now she finally understood what it meant to be pushed down by everyone when the wall fell.
"Don't even think about it. I won't sign this divorce!"
If she doesn't have a good life, then no one can have a good life.
However, she did not think that her current situation was not something she could do as she pleased, and she was already in a passive state.
"This is not up to you. You must sign this divorce letter today. You have already violated the seven grounds for divorce. As your nominal husband, I would not mind throwing you into a pig cage. I am afraid that everyone would applaud. I am only preparing to divorce you now. You should feel content. You and I are a couple who have always been resentful of each other. It was your father who forced us to get married. Since we are torturing each other, why not end it now?"
"What if I don't?" Ye Shu looked at him with resentment.
"I said, it's not up to you. I don't mind going to court again and letting the prefect judge and end our marriage."
Luo Ming is very tough now. It was Ye Shu who made the mistake. According to Daqing laws, the case could have been reported to court.
Ye Shu now finally knows what it feels like to be deserted by everyone.
It's the court again. Everything can be related to the court. Ye Shu now has a traumatic memory about the place that brought her disgrace.
"Are you sure you want to divorce me now?" Ye Shu was still thinking about revenge in the future.
But does she have a future?
She probably didn't know how serious syphilis is. If it is not treated in time, it can be fatal.
"It's not a divorce, but I unilaterally divorced you."
There is a difference between divorce and being divorced. The former is a peaceful parting, while the latter is that the divorced party has made a serious mistake, so the divorced party is not in the right and has to bear the blame.
"I don't care. Anyway, I don't agree. When my father gets out of prison, he will definitely make you suffer."
Luo Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with her anymore. He endured the unpleasant smell, took out the ink pad, forced Ye Shu's hand down, and forced her to put her fingerprint on the divorce letter.
Ye Shu was a useless person. Without Ye Congwen's protection, she was nothing and could only be manipulated by others.
Finally, amid her heart-wrenching cries, Luo Ming took the divorce letter and left.
From then on, he finally got rid of the shackles imposed on him by the Ye family father and daughter.
He did not delay and went to the small courtyard where Yanzhi was. He wanted to take her out and marry her.
As for the Luo family, he had no intention of going back. In the past, when he was in danger, they chose to give up on him without hesitation. Now he would not go back to face them again.
After losing the election, the court gave him a sum of money as a pension. Although it was not much, it was an encouragement.
After returning to Jeju, he continued to study hard, striving to pass the next imperial examination and get a place on the list.
Without Xiao Hechuan, he participated in several poetry competitions and won first prizes. As usual, he obtained some gold and silver, which was enough for him and Yanzhi's daily life. Maybe it was not a life of luxury, but they could ensure that they would have enough food and drink.
He came to the courtyard and found Yanzhi. At that time, Yanzhi didn't know about the changes in the Ye family. In order to prevent Ye Congwen from doing anything bad to her, she made herself haggard and looked sick.
There were still marks of self-harm on her wrists.
Luo Ming hadn't seen her for a long time. When he saw her again, he felt so heartbroken at how haggard and thin she looked. He couldn't express it in words.
This star-crossed pair of lovers can finally be together openly, and stay together forever, living their own lives, and loving each other without a doubt.
Yanzhi left with him without hesitation. She took some of her own jewelry with her, but she didn't want the ones Ye Congwen gave her and left them all in the courtyard.
…
Ruxing and Ruyue brought their indentures to the Xiao Mansion to find Xiao Hechuan.
Xiao Hechuan asked someone to invite them in. At that time, Jiang Sui was also there. She had always known Xiao Hechuan's plan.
She already knew everything about Ye Shu. She had arranged Ruxing and Ruyue to be Ye Shu's spies. With them around, the plan could proceed smoothly. They had suffered a lot because of this.
When Xiao Hechuan met them, he took their indentures in his hands and told them that they no longer needed to worry about the release of their indentures. From now on, they would be free and could be ordinary women, find good husbands in the future, and live a stable life without having to serve others.
In addition, Jiang Sui gave each of them one hundred taels of silver.
For Ruxing and Ruyue, this was already a lot. The two sisters were sold to the Ye Mansion as slaves when they were young. Because their family was poor and they had two older brothers, their parents decisively chose to sell them.
Ever since the two sisters entered the Ye Mansion, they never thought that they would be free in the future.
Now, at the age of twenty, they have gained their freedom. They are still young and there is still time for everything.
It costs two hundred taels per person to free themselves from their indentures. Adding this one hundred taels, the total is three hundred taels. As long as they can gain their freedom, it will be a great happiness for the two sisters.
The two of them knelt down in gratitude and kowtowed to the couple:
"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lady. We are grateful to you. If you need us sisters in the future, please let us know. We two sisters will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
Jiang Sui quickly stood up and supported the two of them.
"Don't be like this. You two are no longer slaves. You are good citizens. My husband has already arranged everything at the government office. From now on, you two should live your own lives well. Don't talk about going through fire and water. You have helped us."
"Ma'am, you are so kind and beautiful."
If Ye Shu could be half as good as Madam Xiao, they wouldn't have betrayed her.
Ruxing and Ruyue later returned home. Their brothers had already married, and with their support over the years, they were living a pretty good life.
The two men did not intend to tell anyone in their family about the money they had, because it was a guarantee for their future.
Xiao Hechuan asked someone to take the indenture to the government office. The government office knew that the indenture was sent by the number one scholar, and in order to curry favor with him, they did not even confiscate the silver and directly stamped the document.
In the afternoon, the couple went to Qi's house again. They brought a pair of silver bracelets for children and a gold lock, and asked Lu Yao to go with them to visit Qi's family.
An gave birth smoothly. The baby is already three months old and it is indeed a son.
Qi Xiuyuan lost the bet, and Lu Yao deliberately mentioned the bet in Kyoto.
According to the agreement, he and Xiao Hechuan will be the child's godfathers in the future.
"I'm willing to accept the loss. From now on, my son will be your godson. I won't lose anything. One godfather is from a wealthy family and generous. Another godfather is the top scorer in the imperial examination and a new noble in the court. His own father is not bad either. He is also an official now. This will give him a strong backing. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I will perform the ceremony of recognizing him as my godson. You can discuss and decide what nickname to give him."
