“A divorce.” Madam Qin’s gaze fell on her daughter.
Qin Yu had already mentioned it to her once on the way here today.
It turns out that her daughter already had thoughts of divorce when she went back to visit her that time.
Fine, let them divorce then. Anyway, she couldn't bear to let her daughter stay in this den of wolves and tigers in the Yin family any longer.
"Divorce?"
Madam Yin actually laughed, "Madam Qin, there must be a reason for any couple to divorce, right? If we divorce because of such a misunderstanding, how will my Yin family maintain its standing in the capital?"
Divorce? Didn't she consider it from the beginning?
However, Qin Sheng has been married into the family for less than a year, so it's untenable to use her inability to have children as a basis for accusations.
Furthermore, Qin Sheng has done an impeccable job since marrying into the family. Divorce? How can they get a divorce?
Madam Yin had many things to consider: her son's future, his reputation, and many other matters.
But she didn't have that much time to wait.
Although she came up with this idea, Old Madam Yin was tormented, but what could she do?
Madam Yin paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, Qin Sheng divorced her husband less than a year after marrying into the family. What will outsiders think of her and your Qin family?"
"My dear in-law, do you really want to make this a huge scandal?"
This statement is somewhat like the saying "the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes."
Anyway, no one from the Yin family holds an important position in the court now, but the Qin family is different. Not to mention the clan members, Qin Sheng's father and brother are both high-ranking officials of the second rank, and there is also a military general of the fourth rank.
So what if it causes a huge uproar?
Qin Yu came over and helped his mother back to her seat. "Don't even think about giving up now."
“Our Qin family is not afraid of trouble. It would be best if Yin Wenxiao wrote the divorce papers today. If he doesn’t, I, Qin Yu, will risk my official position and your Yin family will not have any peace!”
"..."
These words immediately startled both Old Madam Yin and Yin Wenxiao.
Qin Yu has been a troublemaker since he was a child, daring to beat up even royalty and nobility, let alone the Yin family.
"You, you..." Old Madam Yin's fingers trembled, looking extremely angry. "Young Master Qin, this is going too far!"
"I dare not accept such praise."
Qin Yu said coldly, "When it comes to going too far, how can I compare to you and your precious son?"
"..."
Old Madam Yin stiffened her neck. Now that things have come to this point, for the sake of Yin Wenxiao and the reputation of the Yin family, the divorce agreement should not be written!
She said, "This lowly maid who dared to plot against the mistress, along with her entire family, should all be beaten to death with sticks. Would that appease the lady of the house?"
"lady……"
Upon hearing this, Abi panicked and immediately crawled on her knees toward Qin Sheng.
Now she knew she was going to die, but the lady had promised that if she told the truth, she would save her family's lives.
Qin Sheng did not look at her.
Abi gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted in the direction of the old lady, "Old Madam, although I don't know why you asked me to poison you, I was blinded by the promise of temporary benefits. Now that the matter has been exposed, I know I cannot escape death. I only beg you to spare my parents and brothers, otherwise—"
Her eyes suddenly hardened. "Otherwise, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you and the Lord go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, aimed at the corner of the table next to him, and slammed his head into it hard...
With a "poof" sound.
Everyone was caught off guard. By the time they realized what was happening, Abi was already covered in blood, with a huge bloody hole on her forehead.
"Abi!"
Qin Sheng was the first to react. She rushed over and hugged Abi tightly, then turned to the maid and ordered, "Go and call the doctor!"
"No, no need..."
Abi's entire face was almost completely covered in thick blood. She was too weak to move, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"Madam... please, please don't forget your promise... I promised... in my next life, I will definitely, I will definitely serve you like a cow or a horse... to repay your great kindness and virtue..."
Just before she breathed her last, Abi tried to turn her head, her gaze fixed on the direction of Old Madam Yin.
"..."
Madam Yin was startled, and with a "thud," the sandalwood prayer beads in her hand fell to the ground. The knot broke, and the smooth beads rolled everywhere.
Abi's face, smeared with blood, and her wide-open eyes stared at her like a demon.
"Madam..." Granny Shi quickly supported Madam Yin's swaying body.
Qin Sheng never expected that Abi would end her life in such a tragic way.
Qin Sheng had already sent someone to pick up her family members in advance. All the servant contracts of the Yin family were in Qin Sheng's hands, which were given to her by the old lady of the Yin family earlier.
When the time comes, we'll give them indentures and some money, and they'll be free. Where they go and what they do will be their own business.
However, this freedom came at the cost of Abi's life.
For some reason, Qin Sheng thought of her past life.
The feeling of being burned alive suddenly made her feel suffocated. She lowered her head, raised her hand, and slowly closed Abi's unseeing eyes.
"Little sister..." Qin Yu walked over and helped Qin Sheng up.
Qin Sheng looked at him, then shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She slowly walked up to Yin Wenxiao and said, "I don't want to say anything more. Whether it was Abi you instructed or the old lady, I don't want to dwell on it anymore. Yin Wenxiao, let's get a divorce."
"..."
Yin Wenxiao stared at her blankly.
At that moment, he had no thoughts of restoring the Yin family's prestige or his own meteoric rise in officialdom.
Qin Sheng said she wanted a divorce.
He didn't love her in the first place, did he? If his mother hadn't cried and threatened him back then, he wouldn't have compromised to marry her.
He never loved her.
But why did he feel uncomfortable when Qin Sheng looked at him so calmly and said the words "divorce"?
"Are you serious?" Yin Wenxiao asked.
"Really," Qin Sheng said. "My Qin family can guarantee that not a single word of what happened today will be leaked. We will only say to others that we were destined to meet but not to be together, and that our relationship ends here."
"What are you standing there for?" Qin Yu urged impatiently. "Hurry up and write!"
He really didn't want to see any of the Yin family members again. Each and every one of them looked like they were human, but their hearts were more vicious than wolves.
"no!"
Madam Yin said loudly, "You two have been married for less than a year, it's too early to say you're destined to be apart! Qin Sheng, if you're unhappy about Wenxiao taking a concubine, you can say so. At worst, you can send all the concubines in the mansion away. Divorce is not a child's play, it's not something you can just talk about so easily!"
