Chapter 257: Divorce
"Your child?"
Duke Xingguo's hawk-like gaze was fixed on Xu Chunxue, with a mocking expression on his face. He made two sarcastic remarks without any hesitation. He could see through Xu Chunxue's thoughts at a glance.
"On the one hand, I was thinking about divorce, but on the other hand, I was leaving myself a way out."
"If life becomes unbearable someday, you can use the child to threaten the Duke of Xingguo's mansion."
"Xu Chunxue, I've seen many women like you who like to act smart."
"You can divorce me if you want. I can get someone to make you an abortion pill right now."
Ling Qi's face was filled with pain at the cold and indifferent words of Duke Xingguo. "Dad, don't force Chunxue like this."
"That's my child, too."
He had been waiting for this child for so long.
Ling Qi's expression was sad, the corners of his lips were bitter, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. "Chunxue, whether you believe it or not, from the beginning to the end, I never thought of killing you."
"Chunxue, when I first met Yanran, I just wanted her to give birth to a child for us."
Ling Qi's eyes were filled with pain, and he finally told the truth.
"At first I just thought that since she's pretty, the baby she gives birth to would definitely be pretty too, and you'd like her too."
Ling Qi said, squeezing his eyes shut. "I never thought of letting her live. When a woman gives birth, she's halfway to death. Even if she didn't survive, no one would say anything."
After all, all women in the world have gone through this.
In this world, at least half of the women lose their lives during childbirth.
Xu Chunxue didn't say anything, just stared at him silently.
Ling Qi lowered his eyes in pain again, "I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you would think I was vicious. That's why I was so angry when I mistakenly thought you were bullying Yanran."
Because he planned for Yanran to have a baby, but he didn't plan for Yanran to live.
Because of this contradictory mentality, he felt guilty towards Yanran. Before Yanran became pregnant and gave birth to the child, he naturally agreed to her every request.
"I'm going to cut off your flesh and let your blood detoxify her. I really thought you were the one who harmed her, Haruyuki. I just don't want you to become someone with blood on your hands, so I keep going astray. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Xu Chunxue couldn't understand his painstaking efforts.
She was even more disgusted.
She closed her eyes. If she still had some feelings for him, she would feel pain when she hurt him.
At this moment, her heart was completely dead.
"Ling Qi, you really make me sick!"
How can there be such disgusting people in this world!
"You keep saying I'm vicious, but you're the most vicious person!"
"I used to think you were different from those dandy young men who took human life lightly and never cared about the lives of the poor. Now I realize I was wrong!"
What exactly is the difference between his actions and those of Ling Ran, who conspired with Jiang Rou to kill Jiang Nian?!
So disgusting!
Xu Chunxue's eyes trembled violently, and for a moment she even thought that if she really aborted the baby in her belly, it might be a good thing.
After all, the Ling family is so cold-hearted, so how can the children of the Ling family really grow up to be gentle and kind people!
But this thought only lasted for a moment.
What child of the Ling family? This child was born by her, conceived by her, and is a true relative connected to her by blood.
That's her child!
Not a child of the Ling family!
Xu Chunxue became more and more determined to divorce.
She held the hairpin in her hand, pressed it against Ling Qi, and calmly threatened the Duke who had once frightened her so much, "I want the divorce letter, and I want the child too."
"Don't worry, my Lord. Everything about your Ling family disgusts me, and I don't want to endure it anymore."
"Now that I've stepped out of this door, I'll never come back in this lifetime!"
Of course, if it was the Duke who died, due to the current situation, she might go and burn a stick of incense.
"Asshole!" Duke Xingguo was furious. "Qi'er has already told you that he took a concubine only because he wanted her to bear a child for you. Who knew Qi'er was so simple-minded that she fell for the vengeful ghost's trick?"
"As his wife, it's fine if you don't dare to complain about his hard work, but how dare you be so persistent!"
"I've already asked someone to invite your parents over. Since I can't convince you, I'll ask your parents to come and talk to you in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an angry voice came from the air.
"You black-hearted old bastard, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!"
"You bastard!"
"Your whole family are all bastards!"
As Duke Xingguo wished, Xu Chunxue's parents came.
But he was not here to teach Xu Chunxue a lesson.
But he came to support Xue Chunxue.
As soon as Xu's mother saw Xu Chunxue, who was so thin that only a bag of bones was left, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She couldn't hold back her tears for a moment and almost fainted on the spot because of the heartache.
Xu Chunxue's request for divorce was suppressed by the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion and was only circulated among wealthy families, and had not yet spread to the general public.
Xu Chunxue always reported good news but never bad news, and she lived a secluded life and seldom went out, so Xu's father and mother really thought she was living a good life.
Who would have thought that such a good child could be abused to such an extent by these beasts.
Mother Xu spat fiercely on the ground, wishing she could spit in the Duke's face, and even more so, wishing she could pick up a knife and kill that beast Ling Qi.
"Your whole family is full of evil and rotten hearts!"
"Who wants to stay in your Ling family forever!"
"My poor daughter, she almost lost her life!"
Father Xu held his wife behind him, his back straight, and he stood tall and proud. "We Xu family are indeed from humble beginnings. We have never been to the capital before, but we may be poor, but we are not poor in spirit."
"You wouldn't sell your daughter just for your own wealth!"
They can now afford to buy a house and a carriage in the capital.
Even if their daughter leaves the Xingguo Mansion, they will be able to support her well.
I can better raise my grandchildren.
Duke Xingguo had never expected such a scene.
He had never expected that the Xu family would come so quickly. He had just sent someone to invite them not long ago. Moreover, his excuse was that Xu Chunxue was jealous and insisted on getting a divorce.
Why do these Xu family members seem to know everything?
As if he saw the doubt on Duke Xingguo's face, Su Tan stood up at this time.
She slowly raised the corner of her lips, with an innocent look on her face, "Since we are ordered to kill the vengeful ghost, I think Miss Xu will be frightened tonight. With her parents by her side, perhaps she can sleep peacefully."
"I really didn't expect that things would develop into this situation."
Duke Xingguo was furious. It was obvious that Su Tan did it on purpose!
Whenever the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion encounters her, nothing good will happen!
He let out a deep breath, looked at Su Tan slowly, raised his hand and pressed his solar plexus, and said in a gloomy tone, "County Master Jiayi, you have been divorced yourself."
"Of course I know how difficult it is for a woman after a divorce."
"You should try to persuade Haruyuki. Don't let her make a decision that she will regret forever because of a momentary impulse."
Su Tan hummed.
Of course she had to be persuaded.
She looked at the Duke of Xingguo calmly and said slowly, "I can persuade Miss Xu, but if I do so, I'm afraid the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion will be in trouble."
Perhaps it was because Su Tan's expression was too serious and solemn, and Duke Xingguo's brows twitched violently.
"What does this mean?"
"Miss Xu is destined to bring prosperity to the family. Whoever she marries will soar to great heights. If she is treated well, the family will be peaceful and her fortune will continue to rise."
"on the contrary……"
Su Tan didn't continue talking, but her tone actually made people shudder.
"Miss Xu has been married to the Ling family for so many years. I wonder if she has ever suffered any harm. Has anyone wronged her on a daily basis?"
Duke Xingguo: “…”
Is it interesting to ask questions even though you already know the answer?
He even laughed out of anger, "There's no need for County Lady Jiayi to lie to me. She's just a country girl, how could she have such great abilities!"
Instead, Su Tan raised his eyebrows and looked at the Duke of Xingguo with some confusion.
"Duke Xingguo actually misunderstood Miss Xu to such an extent. If she were truly an ordinary country girl, how could she have met Prince Ling?"
Duke Xingguo: “…”
He really couldn't accept what Su Tan said.
His son is naturally a rare talent.
"Miss Xu has a peculiar fate. Anyone who harms her will not have a good ending."
"If the Duke wants peace and tranquility in his family, letting her go home is the safest course of action. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
Duke Xingguo was just about to say that Su Tan was talking nonsense.
But when he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that those who had harmed Xu Chunxue did not have a good ending!
The worst one was Jiang Rou, whose body was torn to pieces!
As for Ling Ran, who supported Jiang Rou, he ended up in a miserable situation.
Ling's mother had always been arrogant and looked down on Xu Chunxue, so she punished her by making her lose her only son.
And I, along with my two children, have suffered. Isn’t this punishment great enough?
Duke Xingguo took two deep breaths. As soon as the knife fell on him, he immediately felt the pain.
He looked at Xu Chunxue gravely, "Since you insist on being reasonable, then I'll do as you wish."
"There's only one thing: from now on, you can never set foot in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion again!"
