Chapter 507 My brother-in-law has an excellent face!
Liao Youhe watched Shen Mingxuan throw a tantrum and cry without any regard for her image, his disgust deepening: "Such crying and tantrums are unbecoming! Even a three-year-old child is more dignified and has more human dignity than you! What kind of daughter of an official is she? She's nothing but a disgrace!"
Shen Mingxuan could hardly believe what she had heard. Liao Youhe usually didn't like to talk to her, and when he did, he was always polite and courteous. She had always thought of him as a gentle and refined gentleman, but she never expected him to be so mean when he was angry!
She cried even harder: "Liao Youhe, can't you treat me with half the love you have for Shen Wantang? What do I lack compared to Shen Wantang? Why do you treat her like a treasure while trampling me underfoot like grass? Why?! What did I do wrong?"
Liao Youhe's face darkened: "What nonsense are you spouting? Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?! You're always having these fits of hysteria, acting like a madman! If you're sick, go see a doctor, don't go around accusing innocent people!"
He had considered what things would be like if he had married Shen Wantang. After all, a wife should be virtuous, and Shen Wantang seemed well-educated, kind, and gentle. Marrying her would definitely be much better than marrying Shen Mingxuan.
But that was just his most secret thought deep in his heart. He never dared to mention it to anyone. He never expected that Shen Mingxuan would openly shout it out like that.
They have absolutely no brains!
If she keeps yelling like this, she'll get him killed sooner or later!
"Liao Youhe, is that too much for me? I've already asked for very little! I've tolerated your refusal to have children with me, and I've tolerated your fondness for the male prostitutes at Wanye Tower and your nightly revelry with them. What more do you want from me?"
Liao Youhe's expression changed drastically: "Shen Mingxuan, shut up!"
“Your mother and all your younger siblings are making things difficult for me every day, always trying to freeload. They’re like reincarnated starving ghosts, like locusts, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake! They’ve practically emptied our house, I’m so fed up! I haven’t mentioned divorce, how dare you? How dare you mention divorce?!”
"Shen Mingxuan, you can insult me all you want, but why drag my mother and siblings into this?! My mother raised the five of us siblings all by herself with great difficulty. Since you married me, you should be filial to her and listen to her, instead of picking on her all the time! If you dare to insult my mother or my siblings again, I will write a letter of divorce immediately!"
Shen Mingxuan suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face as she laughed, appearing completely deranged: "Liao Youhe, do you think I don't understand the law? Is a letter of divorce so easy to write? I did nothing wrong, you can't divorce me!"
"At most, you can only beg me for a divorce, but forget about it. Even if I die, I will never divorce you!"
"You can forget about getting rid of me and marrying someone else! I won't allow it! I won't allow it, do you hear me?!"
"I'll stick with you for the rest of my life! I'm suffering and toiling with you now, and I would never let you become successful and marry someone else to enjoy a life of luxury! I will never be someone else's stepping stone!"
Liao Youhe clenched his fists upon hearing this. He repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, barely managing to suppress the urge to hit someone.
Before marriage, he was a bookish and refined gentleman, praised by everyone wherever he went. But after marrying Shen Mingxuan, he became irritable and easily angered.
He had lost all interest in studying, spending his days entangled in trivial matters, listening to Shen Mingxuan's complaints, and enduring his mother-in-law's sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.
He could only barely forget his troubles at home when he was indulging in debauchery with male prostitutes at Wanye Tower.
But he couldn't stay at Wanye Tower all the time; he always had to go home. Once home, he would face the turmoil and arguments that gave him a splitting headache.
He has endured it for far too long!
He didn't want to endure it any longer, because if he did, he would go completely insane.
"Shen Mingxuan, you are disrespectful to your mother-in-law. For this alone, I can divorce you!"
"My mother-in-law treats me badly, why should I be filial to her?! Liao Youhe, your heart is completely biased!"
“Since ancient times, daughters-in-law have been expected to be filial to their mothers-in-law. Even if the mother-in-law is strict, it is for your own good. It is only natural for a mother-in-law to set rules for her daughter-in-law! Daughters-in-law should pay their respects to their mothers-in-law morning and evening, serve their mothers-in-law, and respect their mothers-in-law! Which of these rules have you followed?”
"Did Shen Wantang ever show filial piety to your mother? Did you teach her any rules? Did you make her pay her respects morning and evening? No! She didn't do any of that, and I don't need to either!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Shen Mingxuan, you're utterly unreasonable!"
Liao Youhe finally realized that he was trying to reason with a madman.
He was annoyed and exhausted: "You'd better watch yourself. I'm taking my mother, younger brother, and younger sister and leaving. I'm not staying at the Shen family home anymore!"
After he finished speaking, he carried his mother, Zhen, on his back, held his younger brother's hand with his left hand, and his younger sister's hand with his right hand. The other two older children followed behind him, and the family left the Shen family home without looking back.
Shen Mingxuan screamed from behind, "Liao Youhe, you're not allowed to leave! Who gave you permission to leave? I've raised you for so long, you can only be mine for the rest of your life!"
She wanted to chase after them, but Qi grabbed her arm and said, "Tell them to get lost, don't chase them!"
Shen Wantang's voice rang out at an inopportune moment: "Sister, didn't you say that brother-in-law would rise to great heights in the future? You just let him go like that? Then all the suffering you've endured these past few days has been for nothing?"
Madam Qi snapped at her, "Shut up! Isn't the house chaotic enough already?!"
Shen Wantang ignored her completely and continued, "Whether we divorce or he takes your wife back in the future, as long as he passes the imperial examination, he won't lack women. Are you just going to watch someone else replace you and become his Mrs. Liao?"
“I recently learned face reading from a master, and my brother-in-law has an excellent face. He looks like a pillar of society with the potential for great wealth and honor. His current hardships and poverty are only temporary. My brother-in-law will soar to great heights.”
"Sigh, my sister is really unlucky. The duck that was in her hand flew away."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingxuan pushed Qi Shi away abruptly: "Mother, don't stop me! I must win Liao Youhe back! After I win him back, I will apologize to him and make sure he changes his mind!"
Madam Qi was both shocked and furious: "What did you say?! You want me to apologize to Liao Youhe?"
"Not only should we apologize to Liao Youhe, but we should also apologize to his mother and his younger brother and sister!"
"What?!"
"You shouldn't have ordered people to beat them up! Your actions have destroyed all our marital bond. Otherwise, Youhe wouldn't have been so cruel to me. It's all your fault!"
Madam Qi nearly choked with rage. She roared, "Shen Mingxuan! I'm your real mother! Everything I've done is for your own good! The entire Liao family is a bunch of scoundrels! Wake up!"
