"Hanhan, what exactly happened to Sister Luo?" Cai Xiaolian sensed something was wrong. The entire Li residence was acting strangely today, even the usually lively Li Han was like this. It probably wasn't a business matter.
Although it's not appropriate to pry into other people's family affairs, Cai Xiaolian still decided to ask.
Li Han pursed her lips, somewhat hesitant.
"Sister Hanhan, my mother is worried about Aunt Luo. Has something happened to Aunt Luo?" Gu Xin stepped forward and took Li Han's hand.
Upon hearing the word "concern," Li Han couldn't hold back her tears: "My second aunt and her men are confronting my second uncle's men. Because my second uncle's concubines are pregnant, and my brother is said to be cursed to harm the children in their wombs, my second uncle wants to arrest my brother and send him to the estate. My brother's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so he hasn't been able to subdue those people."
She felt that her second aunt had had a really tough time, and she really felt sorry for her.
Cai Xiaolian was taken aback: "You mean, they were fighting inside?"
Li Han nodded.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go! Aunt Luo and Li Muyan need some help!" Gu Hui stood up and asked Li Han to lead the way.
Gu Hui quite liked Madam Li because she was generous and forthright, unlike other pretentious noblewomen.
Li Han: "...Yes, yes, helpers, come on, I'll take you there!"
In the backyard, the Li family's residence had been divided into two distinct sides.
Madam Li and Li Muyan stood to one side, followed by mostly the family's old servants.
On the other side stood Li Erye's concubines, with a few servants from the mansion.
Li Muyan sat on the ground, his lips were bright red, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were torn.
Madam Li was also somewhat embarrassed; her eyes were red as she glared fiercely at Second Master Li.
Two delicate women, one on each side of Master Li, took his arm and said, "Master Li, why don't we go stay at the manor?"
Master Li glared fiercely at Madam Li: "The surname here is Li, not Luo!"
Madam Li scoffed, "Li Changtai, are you determined to drive Mu Yan and me away today?"
Li Muyan said coldly, "As long as I, Li Muyan, am alive, the Li family will never have a place for a piece of trash like you to speak!"
Master Li was furious. Pointing at the mother and son, he yelled, "You shrew, you unfilial son! I want a divorce! I want a divorce!"
The two women beside him were extremely happy, looking at Madam Li with smug satisfaction.
Li Muyan raised his hand, letting A Dong help him stand up. He spat out blood, limped forward step by step, and said, "Divorce your wife? Have you never been to school? Oh right, you're a good-for-nothing. Even if you were educated, you wouldn't understand the principles. The second of the three types of divorce is not divorce during the three-year mourning period. My mother observed three years of mourning for my grandfather, and you dare to divorce her? Aren't you afraid your father will crawl out and punish you? The third type of divorce is divorce during the transition from poverty to wealth. When my mother married into the Li family, you, Li Changtai, didn't even have enough money for drinking and carousing. In nearly twenty years, my mother has developed the Li family into the richest family in Qingzhou, and you dare to divorce her? Aren't you afraid your father, your father's father, your ancestors for eighteen generations will crawl out of their graves and teach you a lesson?"
Master Li was still somewhat afraid of Li Muyan, so he pushed his two concubines in front of him and said, "You, you unfilial son! This shrew has committed one of the seven grounds for divorce!"
Madam Li walked over and stared intently at Second Master Li: "Which one?"
Master Li couldn't say it, no matter how hard he racked his brains.
"Second Master, Madam's actions are tantamount to theft! She uses the family's property to make things for outsiders, which means she's stealing from the Li family to subsidize outsiders. I wonder if that family has a young master!" The red-clad concubine beside Second Master Li stood behind a burly man, her eyes glancing towards the Gu family.
