"What...what did you say?!" Shen Qiyin's words were undoubtedly a fatal blow to Madam Shen: "How could you say such heartless things? How could you help outsiders to take away my position as the legal wife!"
Her face was deathly pale, as if she couldn't withstand such a blow at all.
In truth, she knew better than anyone how much Shen Qiyin cared for her as her mother, which was why she couldn't believe it when she heard her say this.
In the end, she cried herself to the point of fainting.
Even so, it did not dissuade Shen Cang from divorcing his wife.
He eventually wrote a letter of divorce.
The author of this book, Shen Cang, was originally from Hanzhou. He was betrothed to a woman surnamed Sun by a matchmaker when he was young. However, after the marriage, his wife committed many faults, which met the criteria for divorce.
Out of consideration for their marital bond, she could not bear to speak openly and willingly returned to her original clan, allowing herself to remarry without objection. The letter of divorce is true.
Marked on the seventh day of the tenth month of the eleventh year of Anping (1862).
Although he successfully divorced his wife, Shen Cang was still unhappy. After all, not only did he not earn any money, but he also didn't know how much he would lose. He was lucky that he didn't die immediately.
Jiang Wan: "Husband, Madam... oh no, I mean, the Second Miss's birth mother has been divorced, so what about this mansion..."
"Oh dear, let's not talk about that now." Shen Cang didn't care about anything else in the manor and hurriedly walked out: "I'll go out and inquire first, and see how much silver I can get back."
He still holds a sliver of hope that he might be able to preserve his capital.
Shen Qiyin felt that he was a dreamer.
In my previous life, the salt monopoly was organized by the Ministry of Revenue and supervised by the Thousand Eagle Guard.
The reason why Xiao Yan was alarmed was because it was he who proposed this matter to the Emperor from the very beginning.
Some salt merchants sold coarse salt at the price of refined salt, seemingly selling salt, but in reality colluding with officials in the capital to help local officials bribe officials.
And the person Madam Shen was looking for was among them!
When it comes to bribing officials, the mood changes completely. The man's house was raided, all his property was confiscated, and the silver that Shen Cang had been longing for was gone, not even a single penny left.
It's already a stroke of luck that he wasn't implicated and imprisoned because of this.
Thus, he hated Madam Shen even more, feeling that giving her a letter of divorce was too lenient; she should be drowned in a pig cage!
Now that things had come to this, Madam Shen finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Before being kicked out of the Shen family, she struggled desperately, begging Shen Cang to show leniency: "Master, I know I was wrong. Please don't kick me out. I can make amends."
“I have a dowry, and I will use my dowry to fill this hole.”
"If that's not enough, isn't there Yin'er? His Majesty rewarded her with so much silver before, just tell her to take it all out!"
