Chapter 218 After Rebirth, the Young Lady Will Marry a Dandy Man (31)

He felt that all his previous actions were reckless. He was going to marry Liu Ruyun, so he had to respect her opinions in everything.

So this time, he did not go to look for Liu's parents, but observed Liu Ruyun.

Liu Ruyun has changed a lot compared to before. Her previously gentle personality has become lively and cheerful.

Yan Wei had doubts, but he felt that people have many sides. He actually liked Liu Ruyun and had to accept her different sides.

Later, by chance, he and Liu Ruyun really got to know each other.

He thought it would take him a long time to make her fall in love with him.

After all, no matter what the outside world said, she and the scholar had true love.

He himself knows how difficult it is to let go of someone.

But at that time, Liu Ruyun took the initiative to contact him and even confessed her love to him.

Yan Wei was hesitant at first, but after she expressed her feelings earnestly again and again, he finally wavered.

Who can say no to someone they like?

They got married afterwards, and on the wedding night, Liu Ruyun set several conditions for him. If he couldn't fulfill them, they would divorce.

The first rule is that you cannot take concubines.

The second rule is to listen to her, be nice to her, and never contradict her.

The third rule was that every holiday, including their wedding anniversary and her birthday, must not be forgotten and gifts must be prepared for her.

The fourth rule is that she is in charge of the money and, except in special circumstances, she is not allowed to come home late or spend the night outside.

The fifth rule is that between her and her mother-in-law, she must stand by her side unconditionally.

Yan Wei married her with great difficulty, so he agreed to everything.

In married life, many things are not as expected.

For example, Liu Ruyun always quarreled with his mother. Once his mother said something that made her unhappy, she would take it out on him and ask him to make the decision for her, saying that he was the one who agreed to it.

At first, Yan Wei went there a few times, but later he didn't want to go anymore. It wasn't because he broke his promise, but when you look into many things carefully, his mother was partly wrong, but the bigger fault was on Liu Ruyun.

Fortunately, his mother forgave him, fearing that he would have a hard time being caught in the middle. Afterwards, when Liu Ruyun made many mistakes, she turned a blind eye.

But Liu Ruyun was still saying bad things about his mother behind his back, which made Yan Wei very helpless.

For example, Yan Wei's rise from a fifth-rank official to the current first-rank prime minister was certainly not as simple as attending court every day.

The emperor has sent me to investigate the people's sentiments, punish corrupt officials, etc., so I will inevitably be away for several months.

The treaty stated exceptions for special circumstances, but Liu Ruyun insisted on making a fuss with him, saying that during the time he was away, she had missed some festivals and had not given him any gifts, etc. Yan Wei would not calm down until he tripled the gifts.

He has been married for so many years, and many things have happened during this time, but Yan Wei believes that he has done his best as a husband.

Which court official doesn't have a concubine at home? Those who have both a wife and a concubine still go to brothels, but he only has Liu Ruyun at home, and he has not set foot in those places in recent years.

On weekdays, when an official invited him to dinner, he would ask his servant to go back and report before going.

As for alcohol, he couldn't avoid it except at banquets, otherwise he wouldn't touch it because Liu Ruyun didn't like the look of him when he was drunk.

When he had meals with these officials, he would never go beyond the hour of You, and would always go home before dark, causing a group of officials to laugh at him for being a henpecked man and being controlled by a woman.

But Yan Wei never cared, he only cared about Liu Ruyun's mood.

When we are at home, let alone, whatever Liu Ruyun says is what it is.

He is pampered to his daughter and strict to his son because of her.

What did he do wrong? All these years, she still thought about that poor scholar.

Even if she had a heart of steel, he had been so good to her over the years, she should have some feelings for him.

Since she couldn't forget that poor scholar at all, why did she take the initiative to confess to him!

The more Yan Wei thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he couldn't let go of this matter.

Rest! You must rest!

He gritted his teeth and thought, rushed to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, ground some ink, and began to write a letter of divorce.

He was filled with anger and wrote a letter of divorce.

“Knock, knock.”

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" he asked with his lips coldly, thinking of Liu Ruyun's appearance.

"Dad, it's me." Yan Changye's voice rang out.

Yan Wei lowered his eyes, with disappointment in his eyes.

"Come in," he said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Changye pushed the door open, stepped over the threshold and came in from outside.

After he came in, he closed the door first, then found Yan Wei's position and walked over: "Dad."

"Well, what's the matter?" Yan Wei asked.

Yan Changye opened his lips, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yan Wei guessed what he was thinking: "Are you here to ask about me and your mother?"

"Yes, Dad." Yan Changye nodded slightly and said.

"Alas." Yan Wei sighed deeply, and after a long while, he said, "I want to divorce your mother."

Yan Changye's pupils widened: "Dad!"

"Don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind," Yan Wei said.

Yan Changye's Adam's apple rolled slightly, but he finally swallowed back those words of persuasion.

"I'm not trying to persuade you, but aren't you making this decision too hasty, Dad?" Yan Changye clenched his fists, then unclenched them. "You and Mom have been together for so many years, and just because of these rumors..."

"Changye, I know better than you whether it is a rumor or not. Your mother loved that scholar so much that she insisted on marrying him to the Liu family. I fell in love with her at first and told the Liu family to help us get together. However, I didn't expect that she already had a lover, which almost made her commit suicide. Later, she didn't like that scholar anymore, so I rekindled my hope and pursued her. She really didn't show that she still had feelings for that scholar. But after I found out that the hairpin was given by that scholar, I realized that she had been keeping that scholar in her heart all this time."

"I can accept her temper and unreasonable behavior, but I can't accept that my wife has another man in her heart instead of me. Do you know how ugly the rumors are? They say I am cuckolded!"

Only in front of his son did Yan Wei vent all the sadness and grievances in his heart.

It's not just Yan Wei who can't accept it. Who else can accept it?

Yan Changye sighed and said, "Then, Dad, just give up."

"You don't blame me for being ruthless?" Yan Wei asked him.

Yan Changye shook his head: "This matter is indeed my mother's fault. It has nothing to do with my father."

After hearing his words, Yan Wei felt comforted: "If this were your sister, she would definitely say that I am heartless and don't care about the relationship between Ruyun and me."

"But isn't this mother's fault? Why should we blame father?" Yan Changye really couldn't understand this idea.

Yan Wei didn't say anything because he didn't know how to answer. He was used to being complained by Liu Ruyun and Yan Yun.
