Chapter 365 Chapter 364 Song Lingshuang Divorces
Seeing her eldest son being beaten again, Mrs. Ding did not dare to insult An Xin anymore. She just stared at Song Lingshuang with cold eyes and said through gritted teeth, "You want a divorce?!"
Seeing Mrs. Ding's drooping mouth, her small triangular eyes, gloomy and mean, looking at her fiercely, Song Lingshuang, who had been bullied for a long time, subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing her wrinkled face, Mrs. Ding couldn't help but sneer with disdain, "You are an orphan without a mother's family to rely on, and you still want to divorce my son. You are really asking for your own death."
Song Lingshuang pursed her pale lips, thinking that since she married into the Ding family, she was like entering a devil's den. Because she had no dowry, she was often treated harshly by her mother-in-law and her husband disliked her.
Even though her father-in-law later passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate, she no longer suffered from hunger as often as before.
But Mrs. Ding, who was used to bullying her, would always cause trouble for her.
Since her husband Ding Youren had a father who was a county magistrate, he was targeted and soon led to learn the ways of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Ding Youren, who had a bad temper, not only often went out to play with women, but also liked to beat people when he came back drunk. Song Lingshuang's life became even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Song Lingshuang said again in a firm tone: "Yes, I want a divorce. Even if you don't want to give me a divorce letter, a divorce letter will do."
Hearing Song Lingshuang's firm words, Mrs. Ding paused. She looked carefully and saw that her eldest daughter-in-law's face was bruised by the beating from her son, but the seductive fox eyes of her eldest daughter-in-law were filled with firmness and determination.
Mrs. Ding then realized that Song Lingshuang really wanted to divorce her son. Her mean old face twisted and she flew into a rage: "Bitch, I knew you were restless. You want to divorce my son at this time? You're dreaming."
Song Lingshuang knew that it would be difficult for her to divorce Ding Youren and escape the shackles of the Ding family on her own, so she looked to An Xin for help.
She didn't know why this person was willing to help her, but Song Lingshuang didn't care about that. She knew that if she continued to stay in the Ding family, her final outcome would definitely not be good.
So she knelt down in front of An Xin and begged sincerely, "Miss, please save me, as long as you can get me out of this den of tigers and wolves of the Ding family.
I am willing to be a slave and give you a gift of grass and a ring to repay your kindness."
An Xin originally intended to help this poor woman escape from her abusive husband and mean in-laws, so she did not pretend to be noble or refuse.
She ignored Mrs. Ding who was looking at her with fear, and walked calmly to Ding Youren, who was unable to get up due to the pain, and raised one foot to step on his chest.
He said slowly, "Do you agree?"
Ding Youren was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a question asking him whether he agreed to the divorce.
He turned his face with difficulty and looked at Song Lingshuang with a sinister look in his eyes, saying viciously: "I won't..."
As soon as Ding Youren finished speaking, he suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, and then he heard a faint but chilling whisper coming towards him, "Think it over before you speak."
Ding Youren wanted to say that if he didn't divorce, Song Lingshuang would have to stay in their Ding family and work like a slave, being bullied all her life. This was her fate.
But at this time, Ding Youren could only open his mouth but no sound came out, because An Xin increased the force on his feet, causing him to breathe out more than inhale, his face turned purple and his eyes rolled back.
Leng Xiangbai and his group intentionally blocked the curious glances from all around by standing in different positions.
Even Mrs. Ding and Ding Youyi, who wanted to move forward, stopped where they were and dared not move when they met the cold gazes of Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou.
It was only then that they realized that An Xin and his group were not people they could afford to offend.
The Ding family members, who always bully the weak and fear the strong, collectively huddled aside and chose to turn a blind eye to Ding Youren hovering on the brink of life and death.
When Song Lingshuang saw her husband, who used to beat her at every turn, being looked down upon and stepped on by An Xin, she suddenly felt that she had been very cowardly in the past.
She looked up with admiration at the woman who had a calm expression but acted bravely and decisively.
Song Lingshuang found a target to pursue in order to relieve herself from the dull and bleak life she felt after her divorce.
An Xin: "Have you thought about it?"
Ding Youren: "Hehe..."
Ding Youren, whose eyes turned red because he couldn't breathe, realized that his life might be as insignificant as Lou Yi's in the eyes of some people.
"Boss, should we just ignore it?"
As a former soldier who defended his country, Liu Huai still had some basic sense of justice and morality. However, during the long period of escorting prisoners into exile, he saw too many heartless, shameless and dirty things, and gradually became indifferent.
He also despised Ding Youren's behavior of beating his wife, and now that someone was asking him why he sent people to intervene.
The young officer who was asking questions saw Liu Huai glance at him, then still leaning there leisurely with his eyes narrowed and humming a little tune, as if nothing had happened. He immediately understood, so he pretended nothing had happened and went about his own business.
The officer on the other side glanced at what was happening on An Xin's side, frowned, and when he saw that Liu Huai had not arranged anyone to stop it, he silently withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.

Before he almost fainted, Ding Youren finally managed to utter a few words to survive, "I...I, agree...to divorce."
Hearing this, An Xin slowly withdrew the strength from his feet, turned to Chen Runzhi and ordered: "Go find a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone."
Little girl Chen Runzhi hated men who beat women the most. When she heard that Ding Youren agreed to divorce poor woman Song Lingshuang, she happily turned around and went to get the things needed to write the divorce documents.
"etc."
Chen Runzhi had just taken a few steps when she was stopped. She turned sideways and saw an official who was exiled with them took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone he had brought with him from his bag and handed them to her.
"Take it and use it."
"Although I can't help the woman who was beaten, it is shameful for a man to beat a woman. As a man, I also feel ashamed."
Chen Runzhi was stunned, but still took it.
"Thanks."
"Need not."
An Xin heard the conversation between the two and looked over there. The man was in his thirties, with a handsome and honest appearance. For some reason, he had not thought of angering Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Xian, and ended up being exiled with them.
An Xin knew that the son of a scholar must be able to read and write. She raised her foot and said, "Write."
Ding Youren, who was released, took the paper, ink, brush and inkstone handed to him by Chen Runzhi. Even though he didn't want to let Song Lingshuang go, this woman who was not as easy to bully as her parents was.
But in front of An Xin, the living devil who could take his life at any time, Ding Youren had to write the divorce letter himself.
