Chapter 342: Finally Divorced
Plus, Peiqin had someone call Yang Zheming, saying that Yu Ge'er had inexplicably fallen into the canal in the mansion. Yu Ge'er also said that there was no one behind him, but it seemed like someone pushed him...
The more Yang Zheming thought about it, the more he felt that it was because Ling Jie'er brought bad luck to Yu Ge'er.
Peiqin cried as if Yuger was about to die, and Yang Zheming felt very sad when he heard it.
Peiqin and Yang Zheming were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. Otherwise, she would not have been unable to restrain herself from giving birth to a bastard before Yang Zheming got married. She would not have scolded Fan Pingfang, the mistress of the house, many times after bringing the maid and bastard back because of Peiqin's instigation.
Yang Zheming gritted his teeth in the end, thinking that it was because of Sister Ling's presence that he failed the imperial examination this time. When Sister Ling left the Yang family and he passed the exam, the Yang family would naturally rise. He was so talented, did he have to use the dowry brought by Fan Pingfang to help him?
Even if this is true, Yang Zheming, who thinks he is noble, naturally would not be willing to admit it.
Yang Zheming gritted his teeth and said, "You can take Lingjie away, and you can take her dowry back. But you can't take back the house on the outskirts of the city!"
He said as if it was a matter of course, "Brother Yu is growing up, and the doctor said that the baby in Peiqin's belly is a pair of boys. When the family grows, there will be too much room in the mansion, so it's just right for you to stay here."
The house was much bigger than the Yang residence, and was brought here as a dowry by Fan Pingfang. Yang Zheming and his mother had asked Fan Pingfang to pay for someone to renovate the house a few days ago, and they planned to move in soon.
Although Fan Pingfang found Yang Zheming's greedy tone disgusting, if it could help her get Lingjie out of trouble, then the price of a house was not a bad deal...
She was about to speak when Xingxing pulled her sleeve.
Fan Pingfang then shut her mouth.
Xing Xing pinched her waist, tried to straighten her face, put on a ferocious look, and snorted coldly: "Your Yang family is not big enough, can't you buy a house for yourself? You let the concubine bully the wife, and let the illegitimate son murder the legitimate daughter. Now you want the wife to leave the house in her dowry for you to live in! You are so shameless! I'm making this clear today! If there is one item missing from Sister Fan's dowry, you must make up for it! Otherwise, I will let my eldest brother bring people to move it!"
Xing Xing protected Fan Pingfang with her arms and legs bared.
Fan Pingfang looked at the little girl in front of her who was not even as tall as her shoulders and was trying hard to maintain her appearance, and her nose felt sore.
She didn't feel so wronged even when she was bullied by those bastards Yang Zhe and Ming Peiqin.
But as Xingxing defended her in this way, she finally sensed the long-awaited grievance that she had suppressed.
...On what basis? When Yang Zheming proposed marriage, he had said that he would remove the contraceptive soup for concubines when he was forty years old and had no legitimate son. It was also Yang Zheming himself who said that a bastard could enter the mansion, but he was just a bastard, and he could be raised casually. How could he compare with Ling Jie'er?
But now look at it again, everything the illegitimate son and concubine wear and use are all fine products from her warehouse, which means she is supporting them with her dowry.
That's it, the bastard was only four years old, and he was determined to murder her daughter!
After Fan Pingfang felt wronged, the raging anger in her eyes seemed to be able to devour Yang Zheming in front of her!
Yang Zheming took a step back.
At this moment, someone came hurriedly from outside to report that someone outside the house had brought a group of people, saying that they were here to take my sister home.
Xing Xing's eyes lit up and she smiled: "It must be my big brother!"
Sure enough, it was Yu Yonghuai. After hearing that Xingxing and Fan Pingfang had come to Linzhen, Yu Yonghuai was worried that Xingxing would come back late and would not be safe on the road, so he personally brought people to pick her up.
Yang Zheming's face looked even worse.
But he couldn't leave such a general out in the cold, so he gritted his teeth and asked someone to invite Huai Ge'er into the mansion.
When Huai'er came in, Xingxing immediately greeted him happily, and then whispered to Huai'er about Fan Pingfang's experience in the Yang family.
The Fan siblings and the Yu children have always had a good relationship. When Huai heard this, he glared at Yang Zheming and scolded him, "Shame on you! Go sign the divorce papers now, or I'll tear your house apart!"
As he spoke, Huai Ge'er lightly pressed the edge of the table and pinched it, leaving two marks on the table, which showed how strong his hand was!
Huai'er's bloody aura was acquired from years of fighting on the battlefield. Yang Zheming, a scholar, could not bear it and was afraid that his head would suffer the same fate as the table.
His legs immediately went weak and he trembled, and he hurried to the study to write a divorce letter with Fan Pingfang.
Xing Xing was watching from the side. Seeing that Yang Zheming had almost finished writing and had not mentioned the dowry, she said unhappily, "Write it clearly! The bride must take all the dowry back!"
Xingxing emphasized the word "all".
Yang Zheming felt a little embarrassed to be scolded by such a little girl, but Huai Ge'er glared at him fiercely, so he didn't dare to say a word. He quickly followed Xing Xing's instructions and wrote this down in the divorce letter.
After finishing writing, Yang Zheming took out a piece of ink and put his fingerprint on it.
Fan Pingfang had also been watching from the side. When she saw Ling Jie'er and her dowry were all shown in the divorce certificate, her eyes fell on the last line "From now on, marriage and taking possession of each other have nothing to do with each other", and hot tears burst from her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.
Fan Pingfang cried with joy while pressing her fingerprints.
Although they still had to go to the government to get the divorce letter to change the marriage contract, for most people, this was already a divorce.
Fan Pingfang was very satisfied with the result.
Xingxing and Huai'er were also very satisfied.
But it was not early today, Ling Jie'er was still asleep, and Fan Pingfang had to stay at Yang's house for a few more days to count her dowry, so she could not go back to Mapo County with Xing Xing and Huai Ge'er.
"Sister Fan, I will go back with my elder brother." Xing Xing said goodbye to Fan Ping Fang with a sincere look in her eyes, "I hope you can live happily with Sister Ling in the future."
Fan Pingfang's eyes were filled with tears and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just smiled with tears in her eyes, nodded, and said okay.
Huai'er took Xingxing back to Mapo County. Xingxing could ride a horse, so she let out a sigh of relief and felt very happy. She borrowed a horse from Huai'er's soldiers and rode back to Liu's villa with Huai'er.
Since they were going to the capital together, the people from the Liu family's villa had been packing up their things these days, and they were almost done. If nothing unexpected happened, they would leave for the capital in two days.
Xingxing said goodbye to most of her sisters today and returned to the Liu family. When she thought about what happened today, she still felt a little disappointed.
Xing Xing said: "We have to go to the Wuming Taoist Temple tomorrow."
Huai Ge'er glanced at Xing Xing.
