Chen Simin, who was standing by, felt a lot of emotion after hearing this, and was a little reluctant, because she knew very well the pain that an unhappy marriage brought to a woman. She stroked her back and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will do our best to help you."
Ming Rulan's eyes were red. Thinking of the past, both good and bad, her heart suddenly felt extremely sour, especially the fact that he wanted to kick her out of the house for that woman. He completely disregarded the relationship between husband and wife. Why should she have any expectations of him anymore?
She pursed her lips and said firmly, "Now that things have come to this, I have finally figured it out. He and I are what is called an ill-fated relationship, and he already has a beautiful wife. If that's the case, then I should be cruel and live my own life. I want to divorce him."
If someone else did something like favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife, he would have to cover it up to some extent for fear of ruining his reputation.
The prefect refused to do so. He was extremely arrogant and looked down upon anyone.
Perhaps, he had anticipated Ming Rulan's character, knowing that she had broken with the Ming family for him, and would never tell the matter to anyone even if she died, which would only add to the worries of the two elders of the Ming family. Therefore, he was even more fearless and wanted to use such means to force Ming Rulan to disappear on her own. It was really clever!
Since Ming Rulan has expressed her opinion, Jiang Xueying nodded in agreement. A woman should never let herself be wronged by a man at any time, especially such an ungrateful man. Not only should she divorce him, but he should also pay the price he deserves.
"Okay, you're right to think so. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't have thrown you to such a remote location and not cared about your life or death."
"Yes, such a person is obviously cold-hearted. If he had any feelings for you, you wouldn't have fallen to this point. Moreover, you treat your wife like this for a prostitute. It's really shameful."
Chen Simin sighed as she spoke. She still remembered how the prefect had beaten and scolded Ming Rulan in the street because of that concubine. At that time, she thought that man deserved to die. Now, she felt even more like slapping him twice with her own hands.
"Excuse me, Sister Ming, it's really not worth it for you to commit suicide for a man like this. You should still live well. As long as you are alive, there will be hope. If you die, there will be nothing. Moreover, you are making your relatives sad and your enemies happy. If you die, they will definitely not feel guilty at all. Only your parents will be the most sad and upset."
Ming Rulan was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. They were absolutely right. She was confused. If she died, he would probably be happier to make that woman his principal wife, and her parents wouldn't even be able to see her for the last time. What a huge blow that would be for them!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but choke up and said, "When I married him, he was very affectionate to me and said that he would stay with me until old age. I believed his lies at that time and thought we could really grow old together. Now I know that I was wrong. He has never been sincere to me. I was sincere but got a fake one in return."
Speaking of this, she was already sobbing and must have regretted it extremely.
Jiang Xueying and the other person looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh that a good marriage is certainly enviable, but if it is an evil marriage, it will only bring pain in the end.
Lan Yue, who was standing by, also started crying, saying how rampant the concubine Lan was, and how she even sent people to kill her wife.
Chen Simin became furious when she heard this and wanted to go find the concubine to settle the score, but Jiang Xueying grabbed her and shook her head at her.
"No, don't go yet. We have to stay calm and not act rashly. Now that we are in the dark, they won't be prepared. Only if we take action now can we catch them off guard."
She suggested that they discuss what to do next. After all, they were women with no power, so how could they go against a prefect?
Of course, the most important thing is that it is still ridiculous for a woman to want a divorce in this era. If she wants everyone to agree, she has to make careful plans.
Hearing these two strangers caring so much about her, Ming Rulan knew that she had met a noble person. After listening to their advice, she suddenly realized that she had done something stupid and should not seek death for a cruel man.
But she was really desperate before, and felt that her feet were stuck in the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
Jiang Xueying understood her thoughts and said softly, "Madam, you don't have to worry. You must know that there is always a way out. There must be a way."
"That's right, Sister Ming, you should relax first. The roads in this world are all made by walking."
Ming Rulan nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her pale face.
"Thank you two girls for your enlightenment. I have let it go. You are much younger than me, so I will accept you as my sister."
Women are always more likely to sympathize with each other when they are empathetic. Jiang Xueying looked at Ming Rulan's expression and attitude and concluded that she must be an easy-going person. Compared with the concubine Hua she met last time, she was much more virtuous and gentle. I really don't know how the prefect could be so blind?
Seeing Ming Rulan frowning, Chen Simin tried to comfort her with a few words, and suddenly realized that there was actually a better way.
"Sister Ming, why don't we tell your family about this? Even though you are married, you are still raised by your parents. They must love you very much. How can parents just stand by and watch you suffer?"
This reminded Jiang Xueying that this was the truth. This matter should be informed to Ming Rulan's family. After all, Ming's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If Ming's family could help, it would be much easier.
Moreover, if Ming Rulan really wants to divorce the prefect, the presence of the Ming family will be the best support. If she wants to live alone in the future, it will be better to have a strong family. Otherwise, the situation will be difficult, after all, people's words are scary.
"this……"
Ming Rulan was still a little hesitant. She chose to commit suicide because she didn't want her parents to know. Moreover, she had a very unhappy quarrel with her parents because of marrying him. If she went back now, would she...
"Sister Ming, don't worry. We can test your parents' attitude first. If they can help, that would be great. If not, we can think of other ways!"
"Yes, Sister Ming, with your family backing you up, that man wouldn't dare to mess around, and don't you want to take this opportunity to admit your mistake to your parents?"
"Yes, Miss, what the two ladies said makes sense. If the Master and the Madam knew about your situation, they would definitely help you!"
After listening to the three people's persuasion, Ming Rulan finally settled her hesitant heart.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
So, after they discussed for a while, Jiang Xueying arranged for someone to send a letter to Madam Ming, asking her to come over early to discuss something.
