Tears flowed to the corner of her mouth, but she didn't wipe them away and just stared at Song Shang.

"There are some things I haven't said before. Today, I'm going to open up and speak frankly."

Song Shang looked very calm, but Wei was a little nervous.

"At the beginning, I did ask your uncle for help. The conditions I offered were money or an estate. But the Wei family replied that they wanted a marriage alliance. To be honest, I was reluctant at the time!"

Wei was stunned when he heard this.

She had been in contact with many high-ranking families since she was young, but she was only interested in the pomp and circumstance of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As for the actual affairs, she had no interest and had no contact with them. So she didn't know about the affairs of the Song and Wei families.

"It's not that I'm arrogant and look down on the girl from the Wei family. If it were someone else, they would definitely be overjoyed if a fourth-rank official married a commoner. But I'm not! I'm worried that the Song family has no power and Qi is not a good match. For the family, many things are out of control. Personally, how unwilling would that daughter of the family be to marry a commoner or even a merchant? She is unwilling to step down, and I am even more tired to look up. As expected, it is like this..."

"Song Shang! Ask yourself honestly, before this, have I ever expressed my unwillingness?"

"You just don't want to admit it. But listen to me... I tried to evade it, but I didn't expect that once things started, I had no choice..."

Thinking of the Wei family's open enthusiasm for winning over me, but secretly coercing and suppressing me...

"Later, I gave in and proposed to choose a concubine's daughter of the Wei family, and the Wei family agreed. But when it came time to get engaged, it was you, the legitimate daughter, who was chosen instead. Haha, such a great honor was given to me, but I was really surprised rather than happy."

Wei's mind was working quickly. The Wei family had wanted to marry her to their family in the first place, and this was just a detour.

At that time, she was almost eighteen years old and still hadn't gotten engaged...

She has been gifted since childhood and has a keen eye for clothing and dressing. She is always unconventional and even sets the trend.

This makes her feel very accomplished.

There are many people who like her, but when it comes to marriage, it is often the sons of noble families who are interested in her, but nothing comes of it.

This kind of person who is neither high nor low is getting old, and his mother is very anxious...

Later, when she heard that Song Shang was chosen, she was also dissatisfied and went to find her mother angrily.

But her mother had a deep talk with her and asked her: Which rich mother-in-law could tolerate her? Which young husband could afford her spending?

Even if the position of queen or princess consort can afford it, it is impossible to be without discipline and responsibility.

She just spends money without getting married, and her sisters-in-law at home have long been dissatisfied with her.

In the end, she had no better choice and married into the Song family.

But no one else knows all this.

…

Song Shang was still recalling those unbearable past events: he originally offered 50,000 taels of silver to ask the Wei family to do something.

As a result, he married a concubine's daughter and asked for 70,000 taels of silver.

Finally, he married his legitimate daughter to him and asked for a price of 100,000 taels!

Hehe, Wei Xiangyu, who does she think she is? She really thinks she is marrying down? You are just a thing sold by the Wei family...

But... after all, she is the mother of his daughter, and he doesn't want to hurt her like this.

"I won't go into the details of the process... We got married, and you were beautiful and charming. Besides, after all, you married a white man, and I respected you very much. I also thought about living a good life with you. Even if there were some unsatisfactory things, I could tolerate it. It's just..."

"You may not have known much about the Song family's affairs before you got married, but I didn't hide anything from you when you got married. You must know how difficult it has been for my mother and I. If it weren't for her dedicated protection, I don't know how many times I would have died! So, my mother is the one who gave me several lives. I can do anything in this life, but I don't want her to suffer any grievances. I don't want her to be looked down upon by her own daughter-in-law!"

"How could I look down on her?!" Wei retorted.

"You don't?" Song Shang showed a sad expression for the first time. "Although my mother was born in a low-class family and could not read, she did not have the bearing of an official's wife. But she was kind and never criticized you. She might speak in a mediocre way sometimes and her standards were not that high, but what was that expression on your face? Do you think I can't see it?"

"..." Wei knew that she had shown impatience when her mother-in-law sometimes nags about things she doesn't want to hear. Sometimes... she would find an excuse to interrupt and leave.

It turned out that he had known her thoughts for a long time, but how could she admit it?

"You are just making up a false accusation!"

Song Shang did not argue with her, "She is an illiterate old lady, and she will remain so until her death. She is not a lady of a noble family, and she cannot give you what you want!"

"Don't try that on me! I don't recognize you!"

As one wishes?

Is it that slave girl?!

Wei broke out in a cold sweat.

"You didn't even tell me and you aborted her, killing her directly!"

"I didn't!" cried Webster.

"Ruyi has been with me since she was little. She is smart, hardworking, careful, and loyal. She never tries to be competitive. She never disrespects you when you walk in the door!"

"What a joke! Who am I? How could she disrespect me?" Wei was repeatedly accused and became angry. "I am the legitimate wife, and everything in the backyard is under my control. She can't get pregnant if I don't agree to it! Even if I agree to let her give birth, she can't give birth to a son before I have a legitimate son!"

"Then I want to ask, who do you think I, Song Shang?!" Song Shang asked firmly.

He sat upright, exuding his aura.

Wei had never seen such a husband before and was stunned.

"Am I a lowly husband who can only look up to you and let you control me? Am I a poor fellow who can only control the Song family with the support of the Wei family? Am I the fertile soil under the feet of you, the most beautiful flower in the world? Haha! Wei, you study clothes all day long, and you know about any fashion as soon as it comes out. But you have never tried to get to know your husband deeply. What kind of person is he!"

Millions of assets in operation, hundreds of personnel mobilized, and at the age of twelve, I had lives on my hands... Only you dare to look down on me!

Wei had nothing to say and just sat there blankly.

"Whether it's you or the Wei family, I don't owe you anything!"

"Then what do you want?" Wei held on to his last bit of pride.

"Let's get divorced!"

"What did you say? How dare you?!" Wei was shocked. Was this really his plan? "I dare!" Song Shang said calmly.

“Hehehe…it seems that you don’t take the Wei family seriously at all.”

"The Wei family has helped me a lot, but my contribution to the Wei family is greater. Even if we divorce, I don't want to break off relations with the Wei family!"

Wei just showed a hint of mocking smile.

Song Shang said, "But if the Wei family doesn't want to, I'm not afraid!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wei steadily and said, "I will take care of whatever you have to say. You should stay in your yard for the next two days! After your mother's birthday, I will personally send you back to the Wei family. If there is anything, I will talk to your uncle and father!"

"What?! You can't do this!" At this moment, Wei was completely panicked.

Even though she said it harshly, as a woman, how could she want to get a divorce? Before she got engaged, she was already not well-liked by her sisters-in-law at her parents' home. If she went back to her parents' home, how could she have a good life? She would be finished!

"You can't... We have a daughter, what do you want Sister Han to do? Mother, mother won't agree." She was panicked.

"That's none of your concern! Someone, come here!"

Two men in black appeared out of nowhere, one of them grabbing Li Rui's wife.

Li Rui's wife didn't know how things turned out like this and was terrified.

Song Shang just gave her a cold look. For some reason, he felt very annoyed with the old woman. "Take her away!"

The man in black dragged Li Rui's family away before they knew what was going on.

Wei was shocked: "You, what are you going to do!? Let her go!"

Song Shang just said: "Go back to the yard first."

A man in black came up and said, "Madam, please come in!" The voice sounded like a woman.

Wei was completely dizzy and was taken away without realizing it.

Song Shang stood quietly for a while: Taking advantage of the situation, not bad! 　I talked to the editor and decided to change the title of the book.

Thank you for your support! 　　I forgot to thank those who gave me tips yesterday! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
