Sink into the river!
Yu Jinshu searched his mind for all the people he knew, and it seemed that only Chen Jiangliu could save his father's people.
Chen Jiangliu's sister is the emperor's most beloved concubine. On the day of her wedding with Chen Jiangliu, she was not convicted because Chen Jiangliu used his sister's connections to save her.
Yu Jinshu stood up from the ground and looked around the small, shabby courtyard. There was really nothing there.
Even her maid who came with her as a dowry was sent to the farm by Jiang Manhua.
Jiang Manhua wanted to let her, a legitimate daughter of a royal family who had never had to do housework, starve to death.
Yu Jinshu went to the bamboo garden where Chen Jiangliu lived.
Originally, Chen Jiangliu was supposed to live in the main courtyard of the back house, which was the courtyard where the general and his wife lived.
Yu Jinshu lived in the main courtyard, but Chen Jiangliu had never set foot there since their wedding day. He had been living in the more secluded Bamboo Garden in the General's Mansion to avoid her.
When they arrived at the cave entrance to the bamboo garden, they saw Jiang Manhua and her maid heading towards the bamboo garden.
The maid was holding a plate with tea, fruit and snacks on it, which must be sent to Chen Jiangliu.
Jiang Manhua saw Yu Jinshu and stopped in her tracks. She pointed at the two guards at the gate and said, "Yu Jinshu has been divorced by the general and is no longer a member of the general's mansion. She is not allowed to set foot in the backyard again. She is only allowed to move around in the small courtyard next to the kitchen. You must kick her out immediately."
The two guards looked at each other, a little hesitant.
After all, Yu Jinshu is the original wife and has just received a divorce letter. If she is kicked out like this, wouldn’t it seem too inhumane?
"If you still don't go, do you want me to call the general to punish you?"
The two guards had no choice but to walk up to Yu Jinshu and said, "Madam, please don't embarrass us."
"How dare you." Jiang Manhua came over and scolded the guard who had just spoken, "She has been divorced by the general. You are not allowed to call her Madam anymore."
"Yes." The guard lowered his head.
Jiang Manhua looked at Yu Jinshu arrogantly: "Yu Jinshu, you are no longer the general's wife, what are you doing here?"
Yu Jinshu looked at Jiang Manhua coldly: "Even if I am no longer the general's wife, you, Jiang Manhua, will never become the general's wife."
"What? What did you say?" Jiang Manhua had finally persuaded Chen Jiangliu so that she could become the general's wife. How could she tolerate Yu Jinshu talking about her like that?
Yu Jinshu sneered, "Are you hard of hearing? I said it so clearly, but you still couldn't hear me. I just said you can't become the general's wife."
Jiang Manhua looked at Yu Jinshu and suddenly felt that Yu Jinshu seemed like a different person.
Before, Yu Jinshu was someone she could manipulate, but now he seemed to have become very tough.
"Why do you say I can't become the general's wife?"
Yu Jinshu laughed heartily: "Jiang Manhua, you are truly blind. You can't even see what you look like. No wonder when you entered the house, Concubine Yue came back and scolded Chen Jiangliu for marrying a piece of crap."
When Concubine Yue was mentioned, Concubine Jiang Man's face changed.
Yu Jinshu looked at Jiang Manhua with a look of sarcasm on her face. "Jiang Manhua, you've miscalculated. If I were still a wife in the General's Mansion, you could still control me a little bit because my family has lost power. But if I leave, Concubine Yue will definitely not let you be a wife. She will find a suitable marriage for her brother. A girl who can become a general's wife will have a family background that is not inferior to that of the General's Mansion. By then, will you still dare to control her?"
He paused and continued, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that Concubine Yue once liked the second daughter of the Prime Minister's family very much. I know that girl very well and have often dealt with her in the past. She looks as gentle as water, but in fact she has a ruthless strength. If there is not ten maids, at least eight have died at her hands. Just wait and see when you have to deal with her!"
She ignored Jiang Manhua and walked straight towards the bamboo garden.
Jiang Manhua was guessing what Yu Jinshu was saying, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Yu Jinshu was right. Concubine Yue would not let her be her wife. What should she do?
When Jiang Manhua looked at Yu Jinshu again, she saw that Yu Jinshu had already walked into the bamboo garden. She quickly ordered the two guards: "Quick, go and stop her."
As soon as Yu Jinshu entered the bamboo garden, she disappeared into the bamboo forest. When the guards arrived, she was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Jiangliu was fishing by the lotus pond in Zhuyuan.
"Shen Jiangliu."
Yu Jinshu's voice came from behind him, and Chen Jiangliu picked up the fishing rod.
There was no bait on the fishhook, which made Yu Jinshu a little strange.
Chen Jiangliu looked at Yu Jinshu, feeling a little angry in his heart. This woman actually called him by his name.
Yu Jinshu always called him "General" affectionately.
But there was nothing to be angry about. He divorced Yu Jinshu, so she must have been angry that she called him by his name.
"Why are you looking for me here?" Chen Jiangliu said in a cold voice, his eyes cast at Yu Jinshu, inexplicably feeling that her expression today was a little different from before.
"Chen Jiangliu, according to the law, a husband can divorce his wife only if she violates one of the seven grounds for divorce. And I haven't violated any of them."
Jiang Manhua rushed over and shouted, "Yu Jinshu, you've been married to the general for half a year, and not having children is the first of the seven grounds for divorce."
Yu Jinshu looked at Jiang Manhua, then at Chen Jiangliu, and said with a smile, "Jiang Manhua, the first of the Seven Reasons for Divorce is childlessness. This requires a substantive marriage, and the wife doesn't need to be pregnant to be considered childless. But Chen Jiangliu never comes into the main courtyard to sleep with me, so how can I have a child alone? If you're the one who broke the rules, it's you, not me."
She looked at Shen Jiangliu.
Chen Jiangliu frowned slightly and looked at Yu Jinshu, wondering when this woman became so eloquent.
Normally she always keeps her head down humbly and says nothing.
Yu Jinshu continued, "The first of the seven grounds for divorce is childlessness, which I have never done. The second of the seven grounds for divorce is adultery. I never left the main gate or the secondary gate of the General's mansion and never had contact with other men, so I have never done anything wrong. The third is disobeying my parents, while I serve my parents-in-law wholeheartedly and diligently, so I have never done anything wrong. The fourth is talking too much, but I never say a word more than necessary, so I have never done anything wrong. The fifth is theft, the sixth is jealousy, and the seventh is a serious illness. If I have any of these three, just ask anyone in the mansion and they will know. I have never done anything wrong."
She picked up the divorce letter in her hand, tore it into pieces, and threw it directly at Shen Jiangliu. "If you want me to leave the General's Mansion, it's not impossible, but it shouldn't be a divorce, it should be a divorce."
Chen Jiangliu looked at the stubborn Yu Jinshu and inexplicably felt better. He nodded and said, "You are right. I shouldn't divorce you. I should write a letter of divorce."
Yu Jinshu pointed to the paper, inkstone, and inkstone on the table and said, "Then please write now, General."
Chen Jiangliu looked at the determination in Yu Jinshu's eyes and suddenly felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle.
He once loved this woman, but he didn't expect that on the day of their wedding, the Yu family would be convicted.
He is a great general, how could he tolerate his wife having such a family?
Everything about the Yu family was like a grain of sand in his eyes, which he could not tolerate. As a result, he began to ignore Yu Jinshu and even did not want to share a room with her.
