Chapter 430 Wei Heng Loves Her
Just then, a veiled woman stood a few steps away from them.
This person was none other than Mei Qingyun, who was being talked about. Listening to the two ladies' discussions and watching Meng Jinyao being helped into the carriage by her maid, she felt a tightness in her chest.
Gu Jingxi, who was abandoned by her because of a hidden illness he suffered from, has now not only married a wife but is also about to become a father.
I heard that Meng Jinyao was diagnosed with pregnancy after returning to the capital. She conceived the child in Huzhou. While in Huzhou, Wei Heng repeatedly mocked Gu Jingxi as a good-for-nothing in front of her, but it turned out that Gu Jingxi had already recovered from his illness.
how so?
Why did God have to play such a cruel joke on her?
Gu Jingxi has a wife and children, and will have both a son and a daughter in the future, while her life is a mess.
What merit or ability does Meng Jinyao possess?
She actually managed to marry Gu Jingxi by sheer luck and become Mrs. Gu.
Mei Qingyun watched the carriage of the Marquis of Changxing's residence disappear into the distance, feeling saddened by her own fate.
A moment later, Mei Qingyun glanced at the two noblewomen a few steps away. They looked somewhat familiar, but she hadn't seen them for many years and couldn't remember who they were. However, from their conversation, one of them seemed to have a grudge against her, but she had no recollection of them and didn't know when she had become enemies with such a person.
The two ladies didn't notice Mei Qingyun's presence. Since Mei Qingyun was wearing a veil and didn't show her true face, they were even less likely to notice her. After Meng Jinyao's carriage left, they didn't bring up the topic again and walked away.
Seeing her mistress staring intently at the two ladies as they left, Mei Qingyun's maid whispered, "Miss, please don't take their words to heart."
Hearing this, Mei Qingyun snapped out of her daze. More than a decade had passed since she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and now being called "Miss" again made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if the person being addressed wasn't her at all.
She returned to her family home in the capital with a letter of divorce. Her family all thought she was being divorced because she had been childless for many years, but she knew that Wei Heng had suddenly changed his mind and spared her life.
That day, Wei Heng learned that Gu Jingxi had arrived in Hangzhou, and without saying a word, he pulled her to bed.
After their passionate encounter, she angrily berated Wei Heng: "Wei Heng, what time is it? How can you still be in the mood for this kind of thing? When Gu Jingxi arrives in Hangzhou, he will definitely investigate your brother-in-law's actions over the years. At that time, the Han family and we will all suffer."
Wei Heng handed her a letter of divorce and said calmly, "You can leave now."
When she saw the letter of divorce handed to her, she was completely stunned. She didn't reach out to take it, but just looked up at Wei Heng with a blank expression, not understanding what Wei Heng meant at all.
Soon, Wei Heng said, "Madam Mei, you have been married into the Wei family for more than ten years without having children, which violates the seven grounds for divorce because you are childless. Pack your bags today and go back to your Mei family tomorrow. From now on, we will sever all ties. I will go and tell my mother about this later."
She was both surprised and astonished when she heard this.
You should know that she had been childless for many years, and Wei Heng never thought of divorcing her. Now he is divorcing her because she is childless.
Over the years, the couple had argued countless times. She wanted a divorce, or at least to be divorced, but Wei Heng refused, telling her to stop dreaming and vowing to be entangled with her for life, to torment each other for life, and even to be buried with her after death, continuing to torment each other in the afterlife.
For so many years, Wei Heng had never given in, but at this critical juncture, he gave her a letter of divorce. There must be something fishy going on!
She stared blankly at Wei Heng for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Wei Heng, I ruined your children and concubines. Didn't you used to want to strangle this poisonous woman? Why would you give me my freedom at this critical moment? This letter of divorce must be a trick you used to toy with me. You just wanted to see me happy about my new life, and then suddenly you come to hurt me, telling me the letter of divorce is fake and to stop dreaming, right? Don't think you can fool me. After being married for so many years, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Wei Heng simply looked at her quietly for a long time without refuting her, and said only, "The ship will set sail tomorrow morning. I have already made the arrangements. Have someone pack their bags properly."
After saying this, Wei Heng put down the letter of divorce and left without looking back.
Seeing that Wei Heng didn't seem to be joking, she felt a little strange. Out of curiosity, she opened the letter of divorce and read its contents. She found that it was a proper letter of divorce, and she suddenly felt like she had survived a disaster.
With Wei Heng convicted, his family will also suffer. She faces two paths: either exile or being sent to the brothel.
Now that Wei Heng has given her a letter of divorce and severed ties with her, she no longer has to suffer as a result.
Because of this letter of divorce, although she would be ridiculed when she returned to the capital, it was a good thing for her. The more others ridiculed her, the more they would curse Wei Heng as a bad person when they later learned that he had been embezzled, bribed, and murdered an official.
Her ex-husband was no good, and everyone would think that she must have had a hard time living in the Wei family for so many years without having any children. She could gain sympathy, and some people would comfort her and feel fortunate for her that she didn't have to suffer with Wei Heng. Before Wei Heng was escorted back to the capital, she only needed to play the role of a heartbroken abandoned woman after being divorced.
Her mother loved her dearly. After she returned to her parents' home, her mother made it clear that if she didn't get married, the Mei family would support her for life. However, her sister-in-law probably wasn't too happy that she wouldn't get married, but as long as her mother was still alive, she could protect her. There was no rush to get married for the time being.
But she never expected that she would suffer such a heavy blow after returning to the capital: Gu Jingxi recovered from his illness, and Meng Jinyao became pregnant.
Originally, everyone was supposed to fail, but unexpectedly, in the end, only she failed.
Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were a loving and harmonious couple, and they were about to become parents. When everyone learned that she had been divorced, they ridiculed her and even compared Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao's marriage to her marriage with Wei Heng. This was undoubtedly like rubbing salt into her wounds.
Seeing that she remained silent and unresponsive, the maid asked again, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Mei Qingyun's thoughts slowly returned. She glanced blankly at the maid, then gently shook her head: "It's alright, let's go back too."
Afterwards, Mei Qingyun also got into her own carriage and headed back home.
On her way home, Mei Qingyun thought of her ex-husband Wei Heng again.
After Wei Heng gave her the letter of divorce that day, he never appeared in front of her again. Before she returned to the capital, she wanted to find Wei Heng, but he did not see her. He just sent someone to take her to the dock to board a boat.
They had tormented each other for so many years, and Wei Heng had never thought of giving her freedom. Now, however, he was letting her leave, which made her somewhat unable to understand Wei Heng.
Could it be that Wei Heng has feelings for her?
But how could that be possible?
Wei Heng clearly hates her so much, he wants to strangle her, how could he possibly have feelings for her?
That's impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Mei Qingyun shook her head repeatedly, denying her own guess in her heart, and immediately thought of other things, suppressing herself from thinking about the problem any further.
She is now a member of the Mei family, not a daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and has no further connection with the Wei family.
