Chapter 515 Extra 1: Su Qianqian's Divorce
Su Qianqian woke up and saw Su Mu standing beside her bed crying.
Images flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope of colours, of a woman with her identity making such desperate days come alive.
"Don't cry." Su Qianqian comforted Su Mu in a hoarse voice.
Su Mu immediately looked up and asked in surprise and joy: "Miss, do you feel anything wrong? I'll go get a doctor right away!"
"No need..." Su Qianqian waved her hands. The skin on her neck felt as if it was cut. She couldn't help but put her hand on it. Her throat was dry and swollen, and it was difficult to say a word.
"Girl, you are still weak. Let me get you the freshly cooked bird's nest porridge." Su Mu hurried to the outer room to get the porridge.
Su Qianqian managed to eat two mouthfuls of porridge, then waved her hand to let the maids go away, and closed her eyes to think about things.
On the afternoon of the second day, Su Qianqian changed into a goose yellow soft gauze dress. The same color tube top and outer shirt set off her snow-white skin, but also exposed the dark purple marks on the front of her neck.
When Qin Hanzhang walked into the main hall, what he saw was Su Qianqian sitting calmly on a chair, looking at him with calm eyes.
"Are you... feeling better?" For some reason, Qin Hanzhang, who came here with anger, suddenly changed what he was going to say.
"Thank you for your concern, My Lord. I'm fine now. I think you have something to say to me during this visit." Su Qianqian's words were not a question but an affirmation.
Qin Hanzhang frowned slightly, noticing that Su Qianqian's attitude was very different from the previous few days.
"There are indeed some things... Why do you have such thoughts of committing suicide? Although Zhiqing did not inform you when she entered the mansion, I have explained it to you clearly. Why do you have to be so upset about it?"
"My Lord, this matter was indeed caused by my recklessness. I have caused my grandmother and mother trouble because of this matter. My Lord, have you made a decision?"
Su Qianqian sat quietly on the chair, like a small goose yellow flower, only the striking purple made the flower look fragile.
"Su, since you are in such a difficult situation in the Marquis' Mansion, why don't we just get divorced..."
"Okay." Su Qianqian agreed readily without waiting for Qin Hanzhang to finish speaking. Instead, Qin Hanzhang was stunned and didn't know what to say next.
"Are you really willing to leave the Marquis' Mansion?" Qin Hanzhang couldn't believe it. He had put so much effort into getting in, so why didn't he want to stay now?
"That's right. I was forced to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, but now I have come to terms with it. Since the Marquis has this plan, then it will be as you wish." Su Qianqian replied calmly.
She did not have the cheerful personality of the girl in her dreams, although that was herself, the lively and naughty Aning, the tenacious, intelligent and brave Su Yu Nuan, but not Su Qianqian, who had been tortured by her stepmother for many years and had lost her kindness and courage.
She wants to find her whole self again.
"Here are eight shops, three farms, a three-story house in the east of the city, and five thousand taels of silver notes, which I have prepared for you as compensation for your hard work for the Qin family over the past five years."
Qin Hanzhang took out the stack of bills and the divorce papers, but for some reason, he was very reluctant to hand them to Su Qianqian. Was it because he felt sorry for these belongings?
"Thank you, My Lord." Su Qianqian took it, picked up the paper and pen that had been prepared long ago, and signed her name on the divorce documents.
Qin Hanzhang watched Su Qianqian sign the divorce papers. He thought she would suddenly put down the pen and say, "Why should I leave? What have I done wrong?", but that never happened.
Su Qianqian gave the divorce papers to Qin Hanzhang, and gave the banknotes and land deeds to Su Mu, asking her to keep them well.
"My Lord, this divorce agreement still needs to be witnessed by relatives and sent to the government for filing. I'm afraid it will take two or three days to complete. I will not stay in the Marquis' Mansion. I will pack up tonight and leave tomorrow.
Please just send the divorce letter to the house where I live. I would also like to trouble you to set up a female household for me, as it is not convenient for me to go back to the Taifu Mansion at this time. ”
Qin Hanzhang had no choice but to nod.
"If you have nothing to do, please go and handle your official business. I still have a lot of things to sort out here." Seeing that everything that needed to be done had been done, Su Qianqian began to order the guest to leave.
That night, the Qin family members in Fushou Hall were talking about Su Qianqian.
"I don't believe she would be willing to divorce. She must have some new ideas. Didn't she go to the Minister of Justice's Mansion to complain that our Qin family treated her badly?" Qin Yuzhuo curled her lips in disbelief.
"It's a good thing that she is willing to divorce. Don't think too much about it. Although a lot of things have happened in the past few days, she has no deep hatred against us, so why would she blame us like that?" He felt that Su Qianqian was not that bad.
"Based on what she did to Miss Lu, I absolutely don't believe that she can leave the Marquis' Mansion so easily." Qin Hanjin's eyes were full of disgust when he mentioned Su Qianqian.
"Let's just leave it at that. Don't discuss it anymore. Although Su's words and deeds have been rude recently, nothing has gone wrong in the Marquis' Mansion in the past five years. On the contrary, she is the one who manages the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, which is also a credit." Qin Hanzhang's grandmother said.
No one dared to discuss it anymore. Some of them were dissatisfied and were ready to make fun of Su Qianqian the next day.
On the second day, Su Zi went out to hire an ox cart and loaded all of Su Qianqian's belongings. Su Qianqian only took Su Mu with her and left Wuning Marquis Mansion and went to the house in the east of the city.
Qin Hanjin and Qin Yuzhuo waited for most of the day, but they didn't see Su Qianqian regret and turn back.
Su Qianqian was very familiar with this small courtyard. The newly bought maids had tidied up the courtyard, Su Mu had fumigated the bedroom, and the cook had cooked a table of dishes. Then they could start their life.
Two days later, Su Xinxin and Yin Yueniang received the news and hurried to the courtyard. They walked into the backyard and through the corridor, and saw Su Qianqian teasing the ducklings barefoot in the pond, with an innocent smile on her face that had not been seen for many years.
"Aning, you don't have to be so sad. Let's go find Marquis Wuning to argue." Both of them thought that Su Qianqian was too sad, so they quickly comforted her and prepared to support her.
"How could I be sad? You don't know how much effort I put in not laughing. I almost got internal injuries from holding it back. I've dreamed of a day like this for years, and finally my dream has come true!"
Su Qianqian sat by the pool, kicking the water with her two snow-white feet, and smiling with a pair of dimples.
"Divorce... can it really make you so happy?" Yin Yue Niang was a little unconvinced.
"I'm really happy. I don't have to take care of the household chores, I don't have to serve the elders and aunts, I don't have to worry about not following proper etiquette, I can eat whatever I want, I can sleep until noon... Oh, I can't even describe it!"
Su Qianqian counted on her fingers, and Yin Yueniang and Su Xinxin both looked at her with envy.
"By the way, Yue Niang, how about you follow my example and get a divorce?" Su Qianqian suddenly turned around and said to Yin Yue Niang.
"Divorce? Why would I divorce? I haven't given birth to a son, and I can't hold my head up in front of my parents-in-law. Fortunately, my husband treats me very considerately." Yin Yue Niang lowered her head.
“Maybe, some things are not what you see. Take your time. There is still time for everything!”
Su Qianqian raised her head. There was a clear blue sky above her. A cloud floated by gently. The sun shone through the cloud, casting a golden glow on the water...
