Cui Yulu quickly stepped forward and supported the swaying Cao Qiaoniu.
"Sister, don't listen to her nonsense. She won't be allowed into the Han family."
Cao Qiaoniu shook her head, not looking at Tao Wan, but at Han Hu.
Did those things she described really happen?
Han Hu's eyes dimmed; he dared not look at Cao Qiaoniu's reproachful face.
"Qiao Niu, you have to believe me. Nothing really happened between us. I drank too much that night and I don't remember what happened. But when I opened my eyes the next day, she suddenly appeared in front of me. Qiao Niu, you have to believe me. Nothing really happened between us."
Han Hu was about to cry, and kept begging Cao Qiaoniu to forgive him.
Cao Qiaoniu suddenly felt nauseous, pushed Han Hu aside, rushed outside and vomited, bringing up all the medicine she had just drunk.
Tao Wan looked at everything in front of her and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips.
Leng Yang watched as the Han family descended into chaos.
What are the benefits of doing this?
Cui Yulu had long noticed Tao Wan's unusual behavior; this woman must have been acting under someone else's orders.
"Miss Cui is indeed a kind and intelligent girl. No wonder the prince likes you."
Cui Yulu was stunned for a moment, wondering if she was also an admirer of Fu Xiaoyu. But if she was, she should be taking revenge on herself, not the Han family.
The only possibility is that this person has a grudge against the Han family and is also at odds with Fu Xiaoyu.
Who could this person be?
Cui Yulu couldn't immediately think of who this person was.
"You don't need to think about who instructed me. You just need to know whether you agree to let me into the Han family. If you agree to let me in, I will naturally stop making trouble. Otherwise, I don't mind going to the authorities. I remember the Han family is about to produce a top scholar. If you are not afraid of the impact, you can give it a try."
Tao Wan raised an eyebrow; she didn't believe the Han family wouldn't care about Han Yu'an's future.
"Hmph, are you threatening us?"
"It's not really a threat, it's more like a win-win situation. I've joined the Han family, and their bright future remains the same, while I'll at least have a place to settle down."
"If you want to find a place to settle down, why do you insist on becoming Han Hu's concubine? In this huge town, isn't there a suitable man for you?"
Cui Yulu realized that her purpose was not there.
In such a large town as Jingyuan, how could Han Hu be the only man who catches her eye?
"Hehe, I just happen to like men like Han Hu, there's nothing I can do about it."
Cui Yulu was so angry that she didn't want to talk.
This woman is utterly unreasonable.
Upon hearing her words, Cao Qiaoniu was momentarily at a loss for whether to be happy or sad.
"This is the first time I've realized that Han Hu is so charming that women are willing to become his concubines."
"I don't care about that. I'm willing to join the Han family. Everyone in Jingyuan Town knows that the Han family is a good family. I certainly won't miss such a good family."
Everyone was shocked, knowing that regardless of whether Han Hu had actually had that kind of relationship with her, Tao Wan was bound to cling to the Han family.
"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Han Hu, take her back. Don't delay Yu Lu's business here."
After Cao Qiaoniu finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the house, no longer paying attention to what was happening here.
"Are you satisfied now? You can leave now."
Tao Wan glanced triumphantly at Cui Yulu, then turned and followed Han Hu and the others back to the Han family home.
Nothing more was said that night, but Cui Yulu didn't sleep well, and neither did Cao Qiaoniu; she could feel Cao Qiaoniu tossing and turning.
The next day, Guo Mudan arrived at the clinic early and handed Cui Yufang a divorce agreement.
Cui Liu was the first to react, and quickly took the divorce papers and read them carefully over and over again.
After confirming again and again that the Xing family had granted Cui Yufang her freedom, she shed tears of emotion.
"Good girl, take a look. This is a divorce agreement. It really is a divorce agreement. You are free from now on. From today onwards, you have nothing to do with the Xing family."
Cui Liu hugged her daughter tightly, but Cui Yufang still looked half-dead.
It's hard to tell if they're happy or unhappy.
Guo Mudan glanced at Cui Liushi and Cui Yufang with disdain.
"You two must not do this again. You were lucky to run into me and Yulu this time. If it happens again, I won't help you."
"Of course, we also have to thank Madam Guo. If it weren't for you, my daughter and I wouldn't have gained our freedom so quickly."
Cui Liushi knelt on the ground in gratitude and kowtowed to Guo Mudan.
Guo Mudan gently stroked her belly: "Oh dear, get up quickly. Don't thank me. I'm just doing this to accumulate good karma for my unborn child. You should thank Jiyu for doing more good deeds in the future and not causing any more trouble for Yulu. Otherwise, I will sell you to human traffickers and send you to other places to be slaves."
"Of course, we will definitely behave well from now on and will not cause trouble for Yulu again. You can rest assured about that. If we break our promise today, then may we suffer a terrible death."
Cui Yulu felt that it was a bit too early to say that, and their troubles were already upon them.
Cui Yushan staggered into the clinic, his face badly swollen and his clothes torn, presumably a result of retaliation from the Xing family.
"Mother, what have you done? Why is my nephew not as attentive to me as before today?"
When he spoke, his breath reeked of alcohol, so Guo Mudan had to cover her mouth with a handkerchief.
"How much alcohol did he drink? And he calls himself a nephew? Does he even recognize you as his uncle?"
She glanced at Cui Yushan with disdain. What a useless man! How dare he criticize his mother like this? He's utterly unfilial.
"None of your business. I'm asking my mother: did you take my sister back from the Xing family?"
As he spoke, he lunged at Cui Yufang again.
"Tell me, do you not want to stay in the Xing family anymore?"
Cui Yufang felt nauseous from the smell of alcohol on his breath, and with great difficulty, she pushed him away and rushed outside to vomit.
Cui Yulu calculated the time; two months had indeed passed, which was precisely the time when the reaction was most intense.
As luck would have it, Xing Dali witnessed this scene, which further confirmed his suspicion that the woman was pregnant.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be my own child.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed.
Since he and his wife got married, they had two daughters in a row, and his wife's belly had not shown any signs of pregnancy. Wasn't this a good opportunity? If this child was a boy, wouldn't he be able to keep his position as the eldest grandson of the Xing family?
Then wouldn't all of Xing's property be his? The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Anyway, this woman and the old man had no relationship now. He could keep her outside until the child was born, and then bring her back. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
