Chapter 458 Divorce
Su Qianqian held the stack of papers, feeling mixed emotions.
A year ago, these were what she had been longing for. She wanted to take the divorce papers and some money for settling down, and live a carefree life. She didn't expect that it would really come true today, but she felt sad.
"Thank you for your consideration, Lord. I am really surprised by the amount of resettlement allowance. In this case, I will pack up and prepare to leave."
Su Qianqian didn't ask any more questions. She bowed properly to Madam Qin and Mrs. Du who were sitting upstairs, and also bowed to the masters and mistresses of the second and third rooms, then took her leave and left.
After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, Su Qianqian called several maids to her side.
"I just returned to the mansion not long ago, and I have to leave again. This time I am leaving the mansion completely."
Su Qianqian's words shocked the four girls. No one dared to speak, and they listened nervously to Su Qianqian's explanation.
"You should all remember what happened in June last year. The Marquis and I were originally going to divorce, but it was delayed until today. In the past year, you have suffered a lot with me."
The girls were shocked at first, looked at each other in disbelief, and then tears filled their eyes.
"I will settle the matter between Su Xing and Qing Feng for you today. I will give you a house as your dowry. Buy some things and get married."
Su Qianqian first settled Su Xing down.
"Madam, I will not marry. I will follow you." Su Xing shook his head repeatedly until tears came out.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you leave with me, you really won't be able to get married. This matter is settled. It's not like we can't see each other in the future."
Su Qianqian smiled and comforted Su Xing, then turned to look at Su Ye and Su Zi: "You are all the children of the Qin family. If you don't want to follow me, stay. If you want to follow me, I will take your indenture."
Su Ye cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound. After thinking for a while, she sobbed and said, "Madam, my parents are both in the Qin family. I can't follow you."
"I am willing to follow Madam!" Su Zi nodded firmly.
"Okay! Su Muyuan is the one I brought from my mother's home, but if you want to stay..." Su Qianqian turned to look at Su Mu, but didn't say the rest of the words. She saw Su Mu had already gone to the back to pack up.
Su Qianqian had a lot of things to bring this time, and she felt it would be too troublesome to move in a big way, so she took the key and went to Qin Hanzhang's private vault first, and put all the things into the space locker.
Sure enough, this storage cabinet is like a glutton. Even with so many things in it, it doesn’t feel crowded, as if the space inside is extending infinitely.
After coming out of the private vault, Su Qianqian locked the door and took the key away.
The dowry she brought was not much, except for the deeds and the things her mother left her. There's nothing to take.
There were only the valuable ornaments that Qin Hanzhang had bought for her room, as well as the clothes and jewelry. She would still have time to pack them up when she went out tomorrow. All she would need was a carriage as a decoy.
The maids were all packing up when they heard the old woman guarding the yard outside come in to report that Madam Qin and several other ladies had delivered some things.
Su Qianqian thought about it and asked someone to bring it in. Everyone held a large wooden box and presented it respectfully.
Su Qianqian opened Madam Qin's wooden box. On it was a gold and ruby headdress. She knew that this was the jewelry Madam Qin wore when she got married. Below it, besides a stack of silver bills, there were also land deeds and the deed to the farm.
A rough calculation shows that these properties are worth at least 50,000 taels of silver.
Then he opened the gifts from the three old ladies. Although not as much as that from Madam Qin, each of them still got about 20,000 taels.
"Are you giving all your private property to me?" Su Qianqian really didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she put everything into the space.
Su Qianqian did not go to Fushoutang for dinner in the evening, but Madam Qin had food sent to her room. They were all her favorite dishes. She did not hesitate and picked up the bowl to start eating, but Qin Hanzhang walked in at this time.
"Why is the Marquis here? Is he in a hurry for me to move out?" Su Qianqian glanced at Qin Hanzhang indifferently, did not stand up to greet him, and continued to eat her meal.
Qin Hanzhang walked to the table and sat down without saying a word. Seeing that the maids did not move, he took a bowl and filled it with rice, silently accompanying Su Qianqian to eat.
After finishing her meal and rinsing her mouth, Su Qianqian got up and went back to her room. This time, Qin Hanzhang did not move. He sat for a while and then went out.
Su Qianqian slept uneasily that night. When she closed her eyes, she saw Qin Hanzhang, covered in blood, protecting him. She was so angry that she scolded herself for being useless.
[Wake up, they don't treat you as a relative at all, otherwise they wouldn't make decisions based on their own wishes without discussing anything with you. Do they respect you? What are you still worrying about? 】Su Qianqian questioned herself loudly.
[You’re right!] Let’s go! Although the merit power is still a little short, as long as we work together and concentrate on eating melons, it won’t be a problem!
Why should I follow them here and be worried? I have to worry about losing my job and having my license revoked... Isn't this the result you have always dreamed of? 】The system secretly strengthened Su Qianqian's determination.
[Yes, this is what I want. With these, I don’t have to struggle and I can just lie down and relax for the rest of my life! Of course, it is not impossible to accumulate enough merit and melons and beans as soon as possible, and then go home to become rich through knowledge! 】Su Qianqian tried to calm her restless heart.
When she heard the sound of light footsteps, Su Qianqian immediately recognized it as Qin Hanzhang. She grabbed a pillow in her hand and waited for Qin Hanzhang to come in and open the tent, then she would throw the pillow out!
But his footsteps stopped at the bed and there was no movement for a long time. Just when Su Qianqian thought that Qin Hanzhang might have fallen asleep while standing there, she saw the curtain was opened a little, and a hand put something on the bed and then pulled it back.
After a long time, the footsteps gradually faded away.
[Ha, you don’t even give me an explanation and you’re going to return the token? I have nothing to give back! 】
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth, picked up the thing on the bed, and took a closer look in the dim light outside. It turned out to be the jade talisman for mobilizing troops.
She suddenly remembered that Qin Hanzhang had once reminded her that some of the things he gave her were very useful and she must not forget them.
What is so useful? That's silver! Su Qianqian curled her lips and put the jade talisman into her space without refusing it.
I don't know when I fell asleep. I woke up in a daze and heard it raining outside.
"Pack up your things and cover them with oilcloth to prevent them from getting wet. Send someone to the house we are going to to prepare today's lunch."
Su Qianqian instructed Su Mu, put on her cloak and looked around. She moved all the valuable items into the space where she had lived for a year.
Su Zi held an umbrella for Su Qianqian. She did not take the sedan chair but walked to the second gate. She found that except for Madam Qin and Qin Hanzhang, everyone in the Qin family was standing in the drizzle.
"Third sister-in-law, take care of yourself!" Wang Yuke's voice was choked with sobs, and she was supported by Qin Hanyue to say goodbye to Su Qianqian.
