Chapter 5: Divorce

Jiang Jiu, dressed in red, walked towards the courtyard of the Lu family's elders.

The people following behind have both joy and sorrow.

Aunt Qian was very proud in her heart. Her young lady was indeed calm and composed. After all, the Jiang family was their benefactor. Let alone exchanging marriages, even if it was to exchange lives, her young lady would have to agree. After all, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring.

Her young lady cannot be an ungrateful person.

Even if she wanted to let the Lu family make trouble, how could her young lady, with her frail body, stand up to it?

The Lu family offered a betrothal gift of three thousand taels to marry the daughter of the Jiang County Magistrate. How could they be willing to do so?

Even if the Lu family tacitly agrees to the marriage, I'm afraid they will have to ask for the betrothal gift back.

However, these have nothing to do with her young lady. Her young lady is the daughter of a noble family. She never leaves the house and has never seen Mr. Lu. How could she know that she was married to the wrong person?

The more Nanny Qian thought about it, the happier she became, and she made up her mind to make a big fuss today.

Chunxiao, the maid who followed behind, was already nervous in her heart.

The Jiang family's marriage arrangement was done quietly and they didn't want anyone to know about it. But now that Jiang Jiu has made such a fuss, everyone knows about it.

The young master of the Lu family is not at home, so her innocence is preserved, but who knows what is happening with the eldest lady?

Do you want to go home and report the news? How should you report the news?

Everyone in the Jiang family had left, and only the three of them, the servants, were left by Miss Cousin's side...

Jiang Jiu entered the main courtyard of the Lu family. Master Lu Liu quickly waved away his left and right, and sat on the main seat with Lu Chen, staring at each other.

Jiang Jiu bowed slowly, frowning slightly: "Master and Madam, please send me back to my parents' home. It's a big day for you. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Jiu kept a very humble attitude. The Jiang family was marrying off two daughters at the same time, so there would be some chaos. The little girl was simple-minded, so he could just send her back and remarry her.

But the two elders of the Lu family looked embarrassed: "Ah, this... We have already sent people to look for Yunyang, why not wait until he comes back."

Jiang Jiu was suddenly startled, holding her handkerchief and about to cry: "How can I wait? It's too late. I've already had the wedding wine with my cousin at the Chang family, and I can't come back."

He looked at the two elders of the Lu family with a wronged look, waiting for them to make a decision.

But in her heart she hoped that Lu Yunyang would not come back tonight. With this handle, it would be much easier for her to divorce him.

Master Lu Liu was visibly anxious. On one hand, he sent people to look for Lu Yunyang, and on the other hand, he urged his elder brother and his wife to come quickly to help solve this difficult problem.

Why hasn’t Lu’s sister-in-law come yet?

Mr. Lu Liu looked eagerly and finally saw Madam Lu coming out of the inner house. He hurriedly went to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at him with disdain, ignored him, and walked straight into the room.

As soon as he saw Jiang Jiu in wedding clothes, his eyes sparkled and he burst into praise.

"This is Lord Jiang's cousin. She is truly more beautiful than Xi Shi and Diao Chan. I only saw her from a distance before, but today I took a closer look and found that she is so dignified and beautiful. Our boy is really blessed."

Mrs. Lu's words meant to keep Jiang Jiu here.

Exchange marriage... admittedly it's not possible. The Lu family can't afford to lose this person, so they can only make the best of it.

Jiang Jiu doesn't want to stay in the Lu family just like this. Now that she has divorced and is setting up her own family, it is a great opportunity. The Jiang family has no right to arrange marriages, and who would be willing to marry a playboy?

Nanny Qian put her hands on her waist and protected Jiang Jiu behind her.

"No, if you agree, you have to ask our wife if she agrees. You are the ones who married the wrong person, but you want us to take the blame. We should go there to seek justice."

Madam Lu smiled and advised, "Don't worry, Madam. Although our Lu family is a merchant family, we have endless gold and silver, and endless silks to wear. This will ensure that the young lady will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life."

Aunt Qian rolled her eyes and spat, "We don't want him. You know, the young master of the Chang family is a scholar. If he can pass the imperial examination in the future, it will be better than being a poor man in the Lu family. Besides, what about the young master Lu? He didn't show up on his wedding day. How can it be a disgrace."

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face began to fade and her expression darkened slightly.

"As far as I know, your daughter is boarding at the Jiang family, and she is not considered a proper daughter of the Jiang family. It is her destiny that she can marry into our Lu family. If we really send her back like this, I am afraid that Master Jiang will not look good."

Nanny Qian showed no sign of weakness: "That's better than being bullied by eight concubines before you even get married. Our girl is gentle, well-educated and well-mannered, but she has never seen such a battle. If she has a concubine before marrying a wife, if she is an official, she will be questioned by the historian."

Madam Lu was also angry that Lu Yunyang was young and ignorant, and had been caught in a trap. Otherwise, she would have simply canceled the engagement, but now she had no other choice. She snorted and came to Jiang Jiu to try to please him.

"Let alone eight concubines, even if there are eighteen, they are no better than the wife married by our Lu family. Miss Jiu, things have come to this point, and the Lu family has been wronged. When Yunyang comes back, he will definitely give you compensation and admit his mistake."

"Although our Yunyang looks unremarkable, he is very caring towards his family. Especially since he is handsome, I guarantee that the girl will like him as soon as she sees him."

And coax Jiang Jiu to stay in Lu's house. The matter is done. After getting married, it will be natural for them to separate from the evil. What happens in the future will not be her responsibility.

When Jiang Jiu and Jiang Mingyue got married together, Jiang Mingyue had already said that Lu Yunyang's actions had long displeased the Lu family's eldest wife.

As soon as they got married, they were separated. The property given to Lu Yunyang was just an empty shell. Later on, Jiang Mingyue subsidized them with her dowry.

Jiang Jiu was unwilling to stay. They would make up for the Lu family's deficit themselves, so it was none of her business. She just used this incident to gain freedom.

"Wuwu, how can that be possible? The marriage certificate is still in the Chang family. Now you want to make the best of a bad situation. I would rather be abandoned than stay with someone else's name..."

After saying that, Jiang Jiu started crying and was about to hit his head against the pillar, seeking death.

Nanny Qian put on a full show, hugging Jiang Jiu's waist and angrily scolding Madam Lu.

"Since you want our girl to stay, why don't you send someone to the Jiang family to send a letter and get the marriage certificate back, so that Lord Jiang can know the truth and make amends."

Once the marriage certificate is exchanged, the divorce is immediate.
