"Xu Jinyi, you are now the daughter of a criminal, and you are married to my brother. It's good enough that my brother is willing to have you. In my opinion, he should give you a letter of divorce. Do you think you are still the daughter of a high and mighty general?" Lu Haoran's sister Lu Xinran said contemptuously.
Xu Jinyi smiled bitterly, and after a long while, she slowly said, "Something happened to my family, but I will never do anything that would bring disgrace to our family. I would rather be divorced than a concubine."
"This little girl is strong-willed and well-educated. She doesn't forget her parents even now." The crowd sighed.
The Lu family was so angry at the brainless Lu Xinran that instead of trying to persuade them, they drove them away.
"Xinran apologizes! Xiaojin will be your sister-in-law after she marries you. Are there any rules?" Lu Haoran roared.
"I don't want her to be my sister-in-law. How can my sister-in-law be called the daughter of a traitor? Brother, you might as well give her a letter of divorce. Let's see what kind of good family she can find after leaving here as an abandoned woman."
The wife of the Marquis was very angry and blamed herself for not greeting Lu Xinran in advance.
He pulled the person to his side and said, "Okay, little ancestor, stop making trouble." The wife of the marquisate kept blinking to signal her not to speak.
Lu Xinran, however, had a bad temper: "Mom, we are afraid of her doing anything. The General's Mansion has collapsed. How dare she ask for the position of wife? Being a concubine is already a compliment to her."
"Isn't this little girl too snobbish? As soon as something bad happened to someone else's family, she couldn't wait to kick them when they're down. She acts like she owes them something."
"Don't you think about it? When you were engaged to someone, why didn't they tell you that they were marrying someone above their station?"
"That's right. The wife of the Marquis's mansion has often told us that she has a daughter-in-law in the capital."
"I heard that Lu Xinran has been spoiled since she was a child and has a very arrogant temper. Anyone who marries her will be in trouble."
The Marquis's face turned ugly, and he raised his hand and slapped him: "You shameful thing, get out of here!"
"father--"
Lu Xinran wanted to say something but was pulled away by the wet nurse.
"I'm sorry, Xiaojin, I've wronged you. Divorce is no small matter. You must not act on impulse. If you leave here, what will you do in the future?"
"Think about it carefully. If you stay, we will take good care of you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord. Xiao Jin is concerned about her parents in the capital and does not want to embarrass you, Lord. I also don't want to force you to take over the position of legal wife. Please, Brother Haoran, write the divorce papers."
Hearing her choice again, the Lu family members looked as if struck by lightning, their faces dark and ugly.
Lu Haoran even stepped forward and wanted to hold Xu Jinyi's hand, but was stopped by Liuli.
"Don't touch my young lady. Since you want a divorce, my young lady is no longer your wife."
Lu Haoran looked at Xu Jinyi, who had an expressionless face. "Xiao Jin, can we just give up our childhood sweetheart relationship?"
"Why did you give up on me so easily? Don't you want to marry me at all?"
Xu Jinyi almost laughed out of anger when she heard this. This damn scumbag really wanted to put the blame on her at this time.
"Brother Haoran, why do you think so? It was the Marquis who asked us to divorce because he was worried that I would bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion. Wasn't it you who asked me to choose?"
"Or are you all just lying? You want to force me to be your concubine, and you're just pretending to let me choose?"
"It is true that a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog." After saying this, Xu Jinyi shed tears.
These words undoubtedly put the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion in trouble and pushed several people from the Lu family into the spotlight.
Lord Lu was so angry that he really couldn't find a way out for a while.
Seeing that the duck that was right in her mouth was about to fly away, the wife of the Marquis was so angry that her face turned blue and she pointed at Xu Jinyi and cursed him.
"Is this what the princess taught you? What good girl would ask to be divorced? We took you in with good intentions and provided you with food and clothing in our mansion, how could you be so ungrateful?"
Xu Jinyi glanced at her coldly and met Lu Haoran's gaze. "So, to be a concubine or to get a divorce, I can only be a concubine by humiliating myself, right? Otherwise, I'm ungrateful, right?"
"Wow... this is too much of a bully. This is bullying the girl because her family has lost power. The Pingyang Marquis's greed is too ugly."
"You said it so nicely, I guess you're doing it for us to see, right?"
The number of guests watching the show increased instead of decreased. Some of them even found a seat and sat down to watch the farce.
What’s even more outrageous is that even melon seeds are used.
Hearing these bad words about Pingyang Marquis Mansion, several people's faces turned pale. If this were to spread out, the reputation of their mansion would be ruined.
Forget about getting promoted, let alone getting on board with the Prime Minister's daughter. I'm afraid everything I've built up over this long period of time will be ruined.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Marquis took a deep breath and took a step forward.
"Everyone, please be patient. This is not our intention. We are just worried about Xiao Jin's future after she leaves here."
"It's no small matter for an abandoned woman to start her own household. I've just given her some more advice. This matter still depends on her wishes."
Lu Haoran hurriedly pulled his father's sleeve: "Father..."
"Alright, since Xiaojin doesn't like our Marquisate, Haoran, you should write the divorce papers."
The Marquis's face wasn't looking good either, but now that the words had been spoken and so many people were watching, they had no choice.
Unless Xu Jinyi changes her mind and is willing to stay, otherwise, for the sake of their reputation, they can only write this divorce letter.
The one with the ugliest expression was the wife of the Marquis. After all, she had worked so hard, but in the end, she ended up with nothing.
It would have been fine if I hadn't gotten the huge dowry, but I spent a lot of money on this wedding.
The meal alone was not cheap: "No, we can't write the divorce agreement. We..."
"Shut up!!"
The Marquis stared at her intently. If it weren't for her idea, things would have turned out like this.
They had actually heard the news half a month ago and knew that something was going to happen there. At that time, he just wanted to cancel the engagement.
It was the wife of the Marquis who came up with the idea. If the engagement was not cancelled, the wife would be demoted to a concubine because she had her eyes on the dowry.
He even made some moves in the capital so that the princess received the news, and then turned all the property that the general's mansion had worked hard for for decades into Xu Jinyi's dowry.
The huge amount of money made him excited, so he agreed to her proposal.
Lu Haoran also agreed to this, after all, he was jealous of the amount of the dowry.
The reason why they revealed the news right after the wedding ceremony was that they wanted to use it to gain a good reputation.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop as expected, but ended up in a mess.
