As Chu Qingniang finished speaking, the entire yard fell into deathly silence.
Qi Che's face turned pale, as if someone had stabbed him in the chest, and even his breathing stopped.
"You...how dare you be so rebellious!" Old Madam Qi finally reacted. Her hand pointing at Chu Qingniang trembled violently, and her chest heaved violently.
It has always been men who divorce their wives, so where does a woman get to divorce her husband?
This is simply the opposite of Tian Gang! This is simply the opposite of Tian Gang!
"My Qi family treats you well, how dare you...how dare you..."
Before she finished her words, Madam Qi suddenly covered her chest, her face suddenly turned pale, and she fell straight back!
"Mother!"
Qi Che was horrified and didn't bother to argue with Chu Qingniang anymore. He rushed forward and supported Madam Qi.
Gu Yanran also panicked and screamed, "Quick! Go call a doctor, the old lady has fainted!"
Today is her first day at the old lady's house. If news spreads that the old lady is seriously ill or in bad condition, it will have a bad impact on her as the new bride.
Although this matter was caused by the bitch Chu Qingniang, there is no guarantee that others will not bring me into the discussion when they talk about it.
The yard was suddenly in chaos. The maids and old women gathered around in a hurry and tried to support Madam Qi.
Qi Che picked the person up and turned to glare at Chu Qingniang, his eyes full of disbelief and anger: "Chu Qingniang, if anything happens to my mother, I will never let you go!"
Chu Qingniang said nothing, but just watched the farce coldly.
Instead, Zhixia snorted coldly and said, "If anything bad happened to her, it was because of your greed and hypocrisy. What does it have to do with my lady?
Moreover, if it weren't for my daughter's financial support, your mother would have died three years ago. The grass on her grave would be three meters high by now. She has been given three more years of life. People should know how to be content and grateful."
"You——" Qi Che was so angry that he was shaking all over, but the mother in his arms was already blue in the face and breathing rapidly. He did not delay any longer and gritted his teeth and said, "Someone! Call a doctor immediately! Carry the old lady back to Shou'an Courtyard!"
A group of people quickly surrounded Madam Qi and left. In an instant, most of the yard was empty, with only Chu Qingniang and Zhixia standing there.
Zhixia snorted coldly, "You are just pretending. You are not in good health, but you can't bear it when you hear that the young lady wants to divorce her husband. If you know the young lady's identity, won't you die on the spot?"
Chu Qingniang withdrew her gaze calmly, "Whether she really fainted or pretended to faint, it has nothing to do with me."
She served Madam Qi for three years, but failed to warm her heart.
From now on, she will no longer care about the affairs in her yard.
Madam Qi fainted, and the divorce agreement was not signed. Chu Qingniang had planned to wait for him for another night, and then go to him to sign it after Madam Qi woke up. But she didn't expect that before the old lady woke up, the housekeeper of the mansion came.
The steward came to collect the silver.
He came hurriedly, with beads of sweat on his forehead: "Madam, the old lady is in critical condition and needs a hundred-year-old blood ginseng to save her life, but the money in the Zhonggong account is not enough..."
Qi Che returned home in glory this time, and the expenses for the wedding money distributed by the mansion and the banquet held were not small.
When Zhixia heard this, her eyebrows immediately turned upside down: "Bah! Shameless and unfaithful man, you used to despise my young lady because she was the daughter of a merchant, saying that she was not worthy of your top scholar, now you need money, and you think of our young lady?
With such a big face, why don’t you go to heaven? "
The housekeeper's face turned red after being scolded, and he stammered, "This, this can't be helped..."
"No way?" Zhixia sneered, "Why doesn't Qi Che go to your newly arrived daughter of the prime minister to ask for money? Didn't he say he would marry her as his equal? Now he's pretending to be a filial son and a good grandson?"
As she spoke, Zhixia turned around and took out a handful of silver from her dressing box and put it in the housekeeper's hand: "Take it, go back and tell Qi Che that his family is only fit to pick up the silver that our young lady doesn't want to give away!"
Looking at the few pieces of silver in his hand, the butler's face turned pale and blue, and he felt very embarrassed.
He also knew that Qi Zhuangyuan had gone a little too far, but he was just a servant after all, so he couldn't say much.
Helplessly, the butler nodded and prepared to go back to report.
But at this moment, Chu Qingniang suddenly said, "I can pay the money, but there is a condition - I want to see the signed divorce agreement today. Go back and tell Qi Che to make a decision as soon as possible."
The butler took the silver change, nodded, and retreated as if escaping.
Zhixia was a little puzzled: "Miss, Qi Che will never compromise for such a small amount of money."
Chu Qingniang nodded: "I know, it's worth using this little money to buy peace and quiet."
Things turned out just as Zhixia had expected. After the housekeeper took the change and reported back, Qi Che was so angry that his face turned blue. He was about to come to Yilan Garden in person, but was stopped by Gu Yanran.
"Are you planning to agree to sign the divorce agreement?"
Qi Che frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, I just want to have a good talk with her."
Gu Yanran's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but she still had a gentle smile on her face. She gently advised, "My husband, my sister is angry now. If you go there rashly, it might backfire. Why don't you... let me go and persuade my sister first?"
Qi Che glanced at Gu Yanran, his gaze lingering on her bun for a moment. The bun that was messed up by Zhixia earlier had not yet been fully restored.
Given Qingniang's temper, if Gu Yanran were really allowed to go over there, who knows what kind of conflict would break out between the two of them.
"No need, this matter is between me and her after all."
It's not good for others to interfere.
