Chapter 211 Shen Jinyu's Visit
It was easy to find out information about Li Wanyue, and the two of them brought back the news that evening.
Shen Jinyu couldn't believe it: "What? A divorced woman?"
"Yes, her previous husband's family was from a mountain village, and they later divorced. According to what I heard, Li's ex-husband was inhumane, or he disliked Li, so he never consummated the marriage with her. She couldn't stand it, so she filed for a divorce.
But I have inquired with the people in the county government, and they found that there is no marriage certificate registered for Li's previous marriage in the county government."
Xie Zhenghuai asked: "Anything else?"
"Also, the Li family started doing business after Li divorced and returned home. Later, they cooperated with Baiweilou and the Qin family. The business was very good and they made a lot of money. They also built a big house in the village. There is nothing else."
Xie Zhenghuai waved his hand: "You can go down."
The servant left in response.
Shen Jinyu said angrily, "Who would believe that they haven't consummated their marriage after three years of marriage? How could Yan'er fall in love with such an abandoned woman? He must have been deceived by her and doesn't know her background.
There is no news of marriage certificate. Who knows if she bribed the deceased County Magistrate Cao to have someone help her erase it? I never thought that a country girl would be so scheming. "
Her eyes were full of disgust.
How can an abandoned woman do business? Who knows who is behind her? For such a person to dream of marrying her son is simply a pipe dream.
She must tell Yan'er and teach her a lesson, and make her leave Yan'er and get out of Anping County.
"Master, this matter should not be delayed. We have to return to Beijing in two days. Let's resolve it as soon as possible."
"Well, you're right. Let's go to their house tomorrow and explain things to them. Otherwise, give them some money and let them move to another place to live."
"good."
Xie Zhenghuai will not interfere in this matter and let Shen Jinyu handle it. If Xie Yan blames someone in the future, he will only blame her.
The next day, there was a knock on the Li family's door. Yuanbao opened the door and saw several maids surrounding a woman in gorgeous clothes. There was also a young girl standing outside the door, and several guards not far away.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
A maid said expressionlessly, "My wife wants to see Li Wanyue."
"Wait a moment, I'll go and report."
Shen Jinyu gave a look, and a guard stepped forward and pushed Yuanbao aside. Shen Jinyu walked in, and Xie Shuyan followed behind her.
The Li family vaguely heard the noise and walked out of the room.
Shen Jinyu looked around the yard. It would cost a lot of money to build such a big yard.
What business can ignorant villagers understand?
Zhao Suying saw the visitor and asked, "Mrs. Xie, what are you doing here?"
Li Wanyue stepped forward and said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Shen Jinyu looked at her with disdain: "What qualifications do you have to talk to this lady?"
"Because what you are talking about is my business, and I make my own decisions. My parents support me unconditionally. Madam, please go to the backyard."
Shen Jinyu took a deep breath, Xie Shuyan took her arm, and followed Li Wanyue to the backyard, with the maids and nannies following closely behind.
In the pavilion, Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Madam, just speak frankly if you have anything to say."
Shen Jinyu didn't expect her to be so direct, and said: "Yan'er said he wanted to marry you. I have asked someone to investigate. You have been married. For someone like you, even if you marry a man from your village, no good family will be willing to marry you. At most, you can marry a widower. I don't know what means you used to coax Yan'er to make him marry you, but his father and I will not agree.
You also saw yesterday that Su Yuyan is the granddaughter of Su Taifu. She is gentle and virtuous, with outstanding appearance, and is also a famous talented woman in the capital. Do you know how high an official position Su Taifu holds? Only such a noble lady from an aristocratic family is worthy of Yan'er and will help him rise to the top.
I don't want to find someone to deal with you, so you should be more sensible and take the initiative to talk things over with Yan'er, and move away from here to live in another county. I will give you 500 taels as compensation."
Xie Shuyan on the side was stunned.
What did she hear? The second brother wanted to marry the woman in front of her?
When did it happen? Why haven't I heard my parents tell me about it?
What about Sister Yuyan?
Li Wanyue didn't expect Shen Jinyu to be so stingy. If she had given him 50,000 taels, she would have admired her.
She said, "If Madam had really sent someone to investigate, she would have known that I did not use any tricks, and I had no private dealings with Master Xie. Everything is out in the open. As for why he likes me, you should ask him.
Besides, what does it matter if you've been divorced? Do women who have been divorced have to be relegated to the dust? Men who have been divorced as well, why aren't they inferior? Madam, you look down on women so much, so in order to please your husband, you ignore your own son's feelings and blindly favor the eldest son born to your first wife?
Shen Jinyu didn't expect that she even knew this, and slammed the table angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yan'er has a misunderstanding of me, but I worked hard to give birth to him and raise him, and it's not something you, an outsider, can comment on."
"Madam, you are so angry. Did my words hurt you? Xie Yan is very talented. If he wanted to rise to the top, would he leave the capital and come here? You don't understand why he left the capital and the home and family he grew up in, do you?"
"What do you know?"
"I don't understand anything. I just saw Madam and Mr. Xie yesterday. It seemed that Madam's efforts over the years didn't seem to be rewarded with anything. Mr. Xie's attitude towards Madam was just respectful."
"What did you say? At such a young age, how can you understand how the master and mistress of a wealthy family get along with each other?" Shen Jinyu clenched his fists.
No one had dared to tell her this so bluntly. She and Xie Zhenghuai got along very well, and the children at home were filial to her. Apart from Yan'er, who was disobedient and gave her a headache, her life was good.
Xie Shuyan frowned as she listened to this. She had never thought about these things before. She just thought that her second brother was disobedient and always made their parents unhappy.
Later, my second brother went to study at the Imperial College and spent less time at home. His life became much calmer. Later, even when he was at home, he was always indifferent to his parents.
Later, her second brother won the third place in the imperial examination, but left the capital. She thought that he wanted to gain experience outside before returning to the capital.
Mother favors the eldest brother? And ignores the second brother? How is this possible?
Although my mother is very good to my eldest brother, that's because my second brother is not at home.
Why does it sound like there's some hidden story?
Li Wanyue said: "The eyes can't lie. The feelings in the heart, even if they are not expressed verbally, will be expressed through the eyes. If Madam has seen it, she should not deceive herself.
Blindly giving out of self-admiration, thinking that if you give enough, you can gain affection in return. However, if what you give is not what others want, no matter how much you give, others will only feel annoyed, or even think that you are no different from a servant. They will not treat her as an equal to themselves, or as she should be treated, and naturally they will not see the good in this person.
A long-lasting and comfortable relationship is never based on one party's self-satisfied efforts, but on commonality and attraction. If you have shining points, you don't need to please others, and other people's eyes will be on you.
I just hope that when Madam cares about other people, she can also spare some time to look at her own son and listen to Xie Yan's thoughts. "
