Extra Chapter 5: Emperor without an heir? The minister's divorced wife



"That's right, isn't she crazy? I heard she's only in her early twenties. She's so young and has so much money. Can't she marry into a good family?"

"Will the spit drown her from now on?"

"I've never seen such a person before. He was divorced for having no children and still cried out loudly."

"But I feel like there's something we don't know about here."

"What could happen? Isn't that what it is?"

"Haven't you heard that the Ding family's wealth all belongs to the woman? In other words, Mr. Ding has been living off his wife all these years."

"You can't say that. Lord Ding also has his own salary. How can you say he's just a gigolo?"

"Hanlin is a noble man. What good is Lord Ding's salary?"

"Then Lord Ding also made this woman an official wife, so she didn't lose out."

"That's right. Look at what this place looks like now. How can you kick your husband out like this?"

"What do you mean by kicking her out like that? It was Master Ding who divorced her first."

"That's because she has no children!"

"So according to you, she deserves to be divorced because she has no children, and the little family property should be given to her husband as compensation. Should she move out of the Ding family on her own?"

"I didn't say that."

"I haven't said it yet, but that's what you mean."

"That's too shameless. I've heard it a long time ago. If Madam Ding's father hadn't taken Mr. Ding in, Mr. Ding wouldn't have been able to study and might have starved to death by now."

"Yes, if you ask me, even if Madam Ding has been childless for many years, Master Ding should not divorce her."

Ding Yucheng, who originally wanted to pretend to be righteous and say that he did not want the Ding family's wealth, looked at the current situation and his face turned red instantly.

The whispers around him came at him like a wave, hitting his poor self-esteem again and again.

He had no intention of figuring out which of these comments were speaking for him; he just felt that everyone was mocking him.

They mocked him for losing his father at a young age and having to marry into his wife's family to get the opportunity to study.

At this moment, his resentment towards Tu Qingyu reached its peak.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Tu Qingyu have an easy time, and that the money would return to his hands sooner or later.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way!”

He shouted, covering his face with his sleeves and squeezing out of the crowd.

A few brave dandies said jokingly, "Master Ding, please don't leave. Stay and tell us how you have studied and made progress over the years."

"Yes, Lord Ding, you are being unkind. Since you used every stitch and thread of your wife's, she is your benefactor. How can you divorce her just like that?"

"Since ancient times, scholars have always been so naive. After all, Lord Ding can read."

"Don't insult scholars. Look around, is there any scholar in the world who would behave like this?"

"Yeah, stop calling me a scholar. My father is watching me study every day. Don't let me finish my studies one day and think back to today and think that I am cursing myself."

These playboys all have some power in their families and are not afraid of a small Hanlin at all.

What they despise most in their lives is such ungrateful people who put down their bowls and curse their mothers.

Ding Yucheng looked at them hatefully, then quickened his pace and left.

As soon as he reached the inn, the carriage from the Minister's Mansion came to pick him up.

Tong Yueyi, the daughter of the Minister's residence, was waiting for him at the door of Minister Tong's study. "Ding Lang, what's going on? Why did she let everyone know about this?"

Wasn't it agreed that we should just let the person rest and recuperate in another courtyard?

Why did he announce publicly that he had divorced his wife?

"It's like Mrs. Tu has suddenly changed into a different person. She said that if I don't do as she says, she will go and beat the drum to report the incident."

"Ah? She's so tough?"

At this time, Tong Yueyi was only a girl of sixteen or seventeen, and had not yet thought of taking Tu Qingyu's life.

When I heard Ding Yucheng say this, I was just surprised.

She thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. After all, we are the ones who have treated her badly. Those things originally belonged to her. Since we have to separate, it's better for you, Ding Lang, not to have them."

The words "it was originally hers" made Ding Yucheng's face look a little ugly.

But he quickly adjusted himself and smiled gently at Tong Yueyi, "Okay, Yueyi, don't worry. Even without these things, I will definitely be able to bring you more and better glory."

"Yeah." Tong Yueyi nodded with sparkling eyes, "I know."

After saying that, she looked towards the study and said, "Go in quickly, your father is waiting for you."

Ding Yucheng: "Do you know what Master Tong wants to talk to me about?"

Tong Yueyi: "It's probably the same thing. It's okay, Ding Lang. Talk to father and mention Prince Jing more. Father will be fine."

This reminder was already very obvious, and Ding Yucheng immediately understood it. He nodded carefully, "Okay."

Minister Tong was a thin middle-aged man in his fifties with a long beard.

He was sitting in the middle of the study. When he saw Ding Yucheng come in, his shrewd eyes flashed.

"Tell me what's going on. Didn't I tell you to deal with Tu properly? Why did you have to do this?"

Ding Yucheng bowed and saluted, "It's my fault. I was a little slow, and she reacted quickly and attacked me."

He was also soft-hearted, thinking that they had been married for so many years, it would be better if she could leave willingly and part ways amicably.

In fact, it is also to make myself feel less guilty.

Who would have thought that a weak person in the past would do such a thing when pushed into a corner.

If he had known earlier, he would have dealt with the person earlier.

Now he no longer feels guilty, and even has some resentment, but his reputation is also half ruined, which is not the result he wants.

"Forget it." Tong Shilang was an experienced man after all. "These are not big things. Most people forget things. When you rise to higher positions and do more good deeds in the future, who will remember what happened today?"

"But..." Minister Tong's eyes sharpened, "Keeping Tu around will ultimately be a nuisance. As long as she lives, the world will remember that you were the one who received the Tu family's favor. Find an opportunity to put an end to Tu."

"This..." Ding Yucheng was shocked.

Minister Tong: "Why? Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"No, it's not." He quickly bowed, "Your humble servant will follow your instructions."

Minister Tong: "Remember, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. She is just a little girl."

Ding Yucheng: "Yes."

Tu Qingyu lay on the bed watching the VCR that Dabao played for her, listening to the conversation between the two people, and sneered repeatedly.

"Even if you eat a couple of peanuts, you won't drink so much."

Still want to finish her off?

Let her see who ends up killing whom.

For the next month, she stayed in the mansion to recuperate, absorb spiritual energy, and practice.

After taking the spiritual liquid and spiritual fruit, he became a different person in just one month.

"Girl, you are so fair now. Just now when you were standing outside, your body seemed to be glowing."

The girl has become very beautiful. Her facial features are still the same, but I always feel like something is different.
