Su Man returned home, and before she could even sit down, Nie's mother sent Cuizhu, her servant, to invite her to have dinner with them.
Yinggu was a little worried, "Madam, this..."
Su Man adjusted the white jade hairpin on her head and said, "What is coming will eventually come. Let's go."
At the dinner table, there was not only Nie's mother, but also Nie You with a stern face.
When Nie's mother saw Su Man, her face was full of smiles. "My wife is here, please sit down. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes today. Come and try them."
Suman sat down.
Mother Nie attentively served her some food. "I oversaw the preparation of all the dishes in the small kitchen today. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
Su Man smiled and said, "Mom, don't be busy. I want to say a few words to you. Look..."
Seeing Su Man looking at the maids around her, Mother Nie turned around and ordered, "All of you get out."
After everyone had left, Mother Nie couldn't wait to ask, "Well, what did General Yu say?"
"My brother said that it's not impossible for me to help."
The heavy burden on Mother Nie's heart finally fell to the ground. She smiled and said, "I knew that General Yu is a chivalrous man with a kind heart. He would definitely not stand by and watch someone die."
Nie You frowned when he heard this, obviously disagreeing with Nie's mother's exaggerated statement.
"only..."
Su Man's face showed embarrassment.
Mother Nie's heart was lifted again, and she kept asking, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"
"Brother has a request."
"What request do you have? Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it." Mother Nie was so anxious that she almost patted her chest and wrote a letter of guarantee.
Su Man's eyes swept over Nie You's face, "My request is a divorce."
"No problem." Mother Nie agreed before realizing what Su Man had said. She raised her voice, "Divorce? You want to divorce my son?"
"Not bad." Su Man said calmly.
"You!" Mother Nie was about to get angry, but she was worried about the silver she hadn't received yet, so she could only suppress her anger and said, "Yuman, how could you say such outrageous words? Is this what a daughter-in-law should say?"
"Yes, I also said that as long as the general is willing to talk to His Majesty about the divorce, my brother will naturally help with it."
"presumptuous!"
Nie You slammed his hand on the table, causing the cups, bowls, and saucers on it to tremble. "You have no talent, no looks, no moral integrity, and no ability. You've been married to me for several years and only gave birth to a daughter. I've already been lenient with you by not divorcing you, yet you actually want to divorce me?"
Su Man glanced at him and said, "It's really hard for you to tolerate me for so many years. Coincidentally, I am even more tired of you than you are. In this case, let's stop tolerating it and get a divorce as soon as possible."
Seeing Su Man's rude words, Nie's mother finally couldn't help but get angry. She slammed the table and shouted, "You are so rebellious! My son is a general in the current dynasty, and you actually say such things."
Su Man laughed so hard she fell backwards. "General? Your son became a general thanks to my father, but then he became ungrateful, favoring concubines over his wife, and even wanted to marry a second wife, making me a laughing stock in the capital. Now our family is in debt, and you want my Yu family to pay it off for you. Your son is really arrogant as a general."
"Shut up!"
Nie You rushed over and raised his hand to hit.
Su Man jumped up, looked up, and said with disdain, "What? You want to hit me?"
Nie You angrily said, "I can beat a bitch like you whenever I want!"
"Nie You, I advise you to be cautious. I wonder who can settle the score for you after you slap someone like that. You've already been reprimanded by the Emperor today. If you're given a reputation for not paying back your debts, I wonder how long you can remain a general!"
Mother Nie clutched her chest and howled, "You're such a traitor! How dare you threaten us!"
"I'm threatening you today. Either we wait together for His Majesty's punishment, or you ask for a divorce from His Majesty. It's up to you!"
After saying that, Su Man turned and left.
"Come back...come back." Mother Nie reached out to grab Su Man's clothes, but Su Man walked too fast, she missed and sat down on the ground.
"Ouch, I fell to death."
Nie You went over and helped Nie's mother up, "Mom, are you okay?"
Mother Nie yelled a few times, pointing outside the door and cursing, "This bitch is taking advantage of the situation to rob me! Tell someone to bring her back and give her twenty lashes! Ouch..."
-
When Yinggu helped Suman back, she tried to suppress the curve of her lips several times but failed.
Su Man glanced at her and said, "Laugh if you want to. We won't be staying in this house for long. Why bother holding it in?"
As expected, Yinggu burst into laughter. "I was just listening outside. The young lady was so majestic. She finally has some of the shadow of her former self in the mansion."
"Yes, when a woman stays in someone else's house for a long time, she slowly forgets what she was like before."
When entering the courtyard, a servant came to report that Nie Shuangling had been there and was waiting there to pay her respects, but then she left.
Su Man was a little surprised and asked, "How long did she wait?"
"It takes a cup of tea."
Su Man frowned. It was only a cup of tea, not a long time. Why did he leave?
"What did she do?"
"The young lady said she was bored waiting and went to the mistress's room to get a book to read."
Su Man was confident, "From now on, no one can enter my room without my permission. Please go down."
After the maid left, Su Man told Yinggu, "Go and watch the door."
"Why."
Su Man pulled out Yu Man's dowry box from under the bed, and sure enough, there were signs that it had been rummaged through.
The cash and jewelry had been mostly used up over the years, leaving only a few hairpins, rings, and bracelets. However, in the small box at the bottom, there were still a few silver notes: four of 1,000 taels each, and a few of 50 taels each.
