Divorce letter?
The emperor looked at the falling snow and said, "Take her with you and send her to the medical clinic along the way."
The emperor did not deliberately block the news. The powerful and influential people had many eyes and ears, and soon everyone knew that General Zhenwei was going to divorce his wife and remarry. His original wife was driven out of the house in the heavy snow and fainted alone in the snow. She had nothing with her except the divorce certificate. It was really pitiful.
After the story was spread among the maids and old women, General Zhenwei became a synonym for a heartless man overnight.
Yun Yuan planned to be unconscious for a quarter of an hour and had a full rest schedule, but unexpectedly she was rescued. When she slowly woke up, she met deep and dark eyes.
She was startled: "I'm... Thank you for saving my life, young man."
Young hero? The emperor glanced thoughtfully at the sword at his waist and did not correct her.
"It's cold and there's going to be a snowstorm tonight. Does Madam have anywhere to go?"
"Yes." Yun Yuan blushed, "Please, young man, take me to Lihua Lane."
The emperor nodded vaguely, lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand, but his mind was flying somewhere else, and his mind was full of the image of the woman with disheveled hair and half-wet clothes.
When they arrived at the intersection of Lihua Lane, Yun Yuan thanked the kind-hearted person again and again and got off the carriage.
It was completely different from the warm and comfortable feeling in the carriage. When the cold wind blew, the snow flew towards Yun Yuan's neck. She shuddered and had to raise her sleeves to block the snow.
The emperor's bony hands extended an umbrella to Yun Yuan, but she declined it politely and disappeared in the wind and snow, taking one step forward and one step back.
The snow is getting heavier.
It was almost evening when Yun Yuan arrived home. Xinghua and Chunyu were the two maids who came with the original owner as a dowry. They felt so sorry for Yun Yuan when they saw her. One of them went to get hot water for her to take a bath, and the other prepared ginger soup for her.
Soaking in the hot water, Yun Yuan sighed comfortably. If the water wasn't cold, she really didn't want to get up.
When she got dressed and went out, Xinghua had already lit the charcoal fire in the house. After a while, Yun Yuan drank the ginger soup prepared by Chunyu and handed the divorce letter to Xinghua.
"Take it and find a time to go to the government office to register."
Xinghua took it doubtfully, and her hands began to tremble when she saw it was He Lishu.
"Miss, how could you divorce the general?"
In Xinghua's opinion, the young lady had done nothing wrong since she came into the family. She respected her parents-in-law and took care of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The fact that she had no children was also due to the fact that she and the general were separated and rarely saw each other. It was not a reason for divorce at all.
Yun Yuan held the hand warmer in her hands to keep warm and said succinctly, "Zhong Jianmin brought back a woman who is already pregnant. She doesn't want to be his concubine, and Zhong Jianmin doesn't want his eldest son to become a bastard."
Xinghua Chunyu had nothing to understand after hearing this, and cursed Zhong Jianmin's family as ungrateful wolves.
Isn't he just an ungrateful person?
If the original owner had not taken a fancy to Zhong Jianmin, his parents would not have spent a lot of money to hire a martial arts master to teach Zhong Jianmin martial arts. Unexpectedly, Zhong Jianmin was ungrateful after he learned martial arts. Especially after he made great achievements, he looked down on merchants. The whole family said that the original owner was marrying above his station.
Yun Yuan would never indulge them. She had replaced all the dowries they had used in the past seven years with other things, and replaced the decorations with fake ones. After she left, they would find that the General's Mansion was just a good reputation, with nothing inside.
She kept the account books very nicely, so even if she took them to the government, they would ignore her.
At night, the wind and snow were howling outside, and the sound of branches being broken could be heard from time to time. Yun Yuan was wrapped in a warm quilt and slept soundly.
The next day, the snow stopped and the apricot blossoms and spring rain cleared the snow in the yard. In the afternoon, the divorce agreement was delivered to the yamen.
It was really cold outside and Yun Yuan didn't want to go out. Even the meals were brought to her in the room by Xinghua. Without any entertainment, Yun Yuan was busy growing vegetables in the space.
She bought the vegetable seeds a month ago. She was busy selling things in the general's mansion to make up for her dowry, so she only symbolically planted eggplants and beans. Now they are just ready to eat.
The space will rationalize the things taken out. Yun Yuan chose the door-to-door delivery service, ticked the delivery time, and soon the sound of hawking was heard from the back door.
"Selling eggplant and beans, fresh eggplant and beans."
Yun Yuan happily opened the back door and bought all the eggplants and beans. The money she spent would be automatically recycled into the space.
The others who heard the sound and were about to go out were a step slower. They watched Yun Yuan bring the eggplants and beans into the house and felt extremely regretful for a moment.
"Old farmer, next time you have eggplants and beans, please send them to the back door of Xue's mansion. We'll take as many as you can."
"And the Li Mansion."
"Zhao Mansion."
"Yunlai Inn."
"And my Zuixian Restaurant."
“…”
Who doesn’t need fresh vegetables on a snowy day? With Yun Yuan’s help, the old farmer happily agreed, and he also had an extra income.
It snowed from time to time in winter. General Zhenwei's mansion was neglected in management and the servants did not clear the snow on the roof in time, causing two rooms to collapse. They were already living in a tight space, and now there was no room at all.
"What did you say? There's no money in the account?"
The accountant knelt on the cold ground and said, "General, since the madam took the dowry away, there is indeed no money in the account."
Wu Yishu was lying comfortably on the couch when she stood up in shock. "What? She actually took the dowry away with her. When did that happen?"
"A month ago."
"Be more specific."
The accountant: "October 25th."
October 25th was the day when he brought Shu'er back to Beijing.
Wu Yishu fell down on the couch. She had already inquired about Yun's background and had long been envious of her generous dowry. She stopped the general from sending the letter back because she wanted to catch Yun off guard. As long as she was driven out, she would be a merchant girl with no background. How could she fight against the general's mansion, let alone take away her dowry?
Unexpectedly, she had already made preparations and had transported the dowry away without anyone noticing.
Zhong Jianmin thought of Hongyi who fell down on the snow that day. She was so pitiful and sad. She knew that she was going to abandon him, and she was waiting for him to speak and then give up completely.
He was a little irritated: "If there is no account, then there is no account. Bring me the account book."
Before he had turned a few pages, his brows were deeply furrowed.
The second brother's minimum monthly expenses are 500 taels of silver, the third sister who is married comes back every month to bring 300 taels of silver, and the old lady also needs 500 taels every month. In addition, there are bird's nests, ginseng, abalone... clothes and jewelry for each season, and charcoal fire in winter. Zhong Jianmin is getting more and more headaches.
He handed the account book to Wu Yishu and said, "You will be my wife from now on, and you should be in charge of the account book."
Wu Yishu happily replied "yes". How could such a big general's mansion be without money? Once the output from the manor shops arrived, she could spend it however she wanted.
Zhong Jianmin reminded her: "Fix the house first. There are officials around here. Don't let them laugh at you."
Wu Yishu took the account book back and looked through it again. He said in disbelief, "Impossible! How could the General's Mansion only have one farm and one shop?"
