Chapter 127 Divorced
Then her eyes slowly became dull and she drooped her head.
Zheng Lian stopped crying after hearing what Feng Zuwen said.
Ruan Ruoying felt relieved after hearing that.
She didn't have to die, as long as she was alive, everything would be fine.
Her son was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, and her Yue family was still the Duke of Zheng's Mansion. As long as the Royal Concubine Zheng was not overthrown, their family would have a good life.
Maybe she would have a chance to come back to the mansion in the future.
No one could predict what the future would be like.
"Second brother, let's go, let's leave the mansion." Ruan Ruoying couldn't wait to come over and pull Feng Zuwu up from the ground.
They were no longer a family, so why were they kneeling? He wasn't his father, he was just his brother, and he wouldn't even be his brother in the future.
But Feng Zuwu was reluctant to leave the Marquis' Mansion, which was his home.
Once he left the Marquis' Mansion where he was born and raised, he would lose his ancestors. Where would he put his face when he went out in the future
? But if he didn't leave, his mother would have no choice but to die, and he couldn't just watch his own mother die and remain indifferent.
If this matter got to the family, even the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion would not be spared.
If the emperor knew about it, it would be even worse, and he would be sentenced to death directly. The first generation Marquis made great contributions to the country and the court, so he couldn't tolerate such a woman tarnishing the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.
After learning from the pain, Feng Zuwu still took his mother and wife away from the main courtyard of the big house.
When he left, he looked back at his son.
Tears fell to the ground.
But no one in the big house would sympathize.
If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
"Dad, why let them go?" Feng Yuanhan said angrily.
Thinking of the suffering of his sister, he really hoped that his second uncle's family would suffer.
"The real culprit is the Duke Zheng's Mansion.
Since your second uncle married Zheng Lian, he has become what he is today under the instigation of the Duke Zheng's son.
After all, he and I have the same father. Although he is ruthless, I can't kill him all." Feng Zuwen sighed.
"Dad is a man of affection and righteousness." Feng Tianxing concluded.
The next day, Feng Zuwu packed some luggage and left the mansion with the two women.
He lived in a wedding courtyard of Zheng Lian.
From then on, he became closer to the Duke Zheng's Mansion.
Three days later, Feng Zuwen also found several elders in the clan and told them about how Feng Zuwu had swapped the baby, how he had someone plot to break Feng Yuanhao's leg, and how Ruan Ruoying had poisoned Feng Yuanhan.
After hearing this, the elders scolded the second branch and agreed to remove it from the family tree.
From then on, Feng Zuwu had no more relationship with the Marquis's Mansion. As
soon as Feng Zuwu was settled, she went to a city not far from Beijing to find a doctor to prescribe abortion medicine for Ruan Ruoying to take.
However, she was old after all, and ended up bleeding heavily. They had to ask Doctor Hong to come through the Zheng Mansion to pull her back from the brink of death. From then on, her body collapsed, she was sick every other day, and died within a few years.
This is a later story.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world.
The news about Feng Mansion inevitably spread out, especially to some wealthy families, who all knew what was going on in Feng Mansion.
The person who was most affected was Feng Ruyue.
She knew about it the day after Feng Zuwu moved out of Feng's house, and hurried back to ask why.
As a result, Song Shuqing dismissed her with one sentence: "Go ask your mother."
When she finally found where Feng Zuwu lived, she saw that her mother seemed to have aged ten years suddenly.
But no matter how she asked, Ruan Ruoying didn't say a word, just told her to go back and live a good life in Dong's house. Be filial to your parents-in-law and give birth to a legitimate son for Dong Zhi as soon as possible.
But Feng Ruyue was not so easy to dismiss.
Unable to get anything out of her mother, she ran to find her second sister-in-law.
Although Zheng Lian was a little sentimental, how could she not complain about her mother-in-law doing such a thing.
He told her everything that happened in the past few years from beginning to end.
Including the matter of their child exchange.
Feng Ruyue's eyes widened after hearing this
. She couldn't believe that so many things happened in the Feng family without her knowing anything.
And these things hit her like a thunderbolt.
She returned to the Dong Mansion like a puppet who had lost her soul.
Zishu and Ziqin saw their master who hurried out and came back in a daze, and they came forward to greet them with concern.
Ziqin was pregnant, but the Dong Mansion didn't let her give birth at all. A bowl of medicine solved the problem.
Therefore, Mrs. Dong didn't recognize Ziqin's status as a concubine. She could only follow Feng Ruyue and serve her.
When Dong Zhi asked her to serve, she had to resist.
Feng Ruyue didn't bring any maids with her when she went out. She went out directly without even saying hello to her mother-in-law. Because she was so anxious after hearing the news, she ran away without caring about anything.
Mrs. Dong was very disappointed with her daughter-in-law. After asking around, she also found out what happened in Feng Mansion.
Then she went straight to Master Dong.
"Dad, Zhi'er's wife is really not a good one. It has been several months since they got married, but she doesn't allow Zhi'er to touch her. Our Dong family can't afford such a daughter-in-law, so let's divorce her."
"Oh? What happened?"
Master Dong knew very well that his daughter-in-law couldn't divorce his grandson's wife because of this. She was the biological sister of Marquis Wu'an, and he had to give her some face no matter what.
Their family didn't have a title. In terms of nobility, Marquis Wu'an was more noble than their Dong Mansion.
"Alas, it's also a misfortune for our family." Then, Mrs. Dong told her father-in-law all the news she had found out.
"Dad, how can we have a daughter raised by such a mother? She is arrogant, disrespectful to her elders, and ambitious. She is really not a good match for Zhier."
Mrs. Dong has been able to tolerate Feng Ruyue for so long. She has reached her limit. Now she knows that she has such a mother. Now she is divorced, and the second branch has moved out of the mansion and has been removed from the family tree. It can be seen that things have reached a point where they cannot be reversed.
Master Dong thought for a while before saying, "Go and ask Zhi'er what he thinks. If he agrees, then divorce her. Let her take away all the dowry she brought. We in the Dong Mansion don't have to be too harsh."
At that time, if a woman was divorced, her dowry would not be returned. Only if she divorced would it be returned in full. In other words, being divorced means that the woman has lost her virtue.
Generally, women without children will not be divorced. As long as the husband has children, the concubine's son can be adopted.
But losing virtue is different, that is reputation.
Dong Zhi had wanted to divorce his wife for a long time. When the old lady came to ask him what he thought, he agreed without even thinking about it.
And when Feng Ruyue, who was still in grief, saw Dong Zhi appear in front of her, she didn't think he was ugly.
Instead, she wanted him to comfort her.
But her idea was beautiful, but the reality was a big slap in the face.
"You married into my Dong family unwillingly, but now I'm setting you free.
Go away, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on.
Ziqin is your maid, but she followed me after all. If she is willing to stay, the Dong Mansion will still have food for her. If she doesn't want to, you can take her away."
Dong Zhi put the divorce letter on the table directly after he finished speaking. He didn't want to listen to what Feng Ruyue had to say, so he turned around and left.
Feng Ruyue was still in a daze. She
came to her senses when she saw Dong Zhi's figure disappear at the door. She picked up the paper on the table and unfolded it: divorce letter.
She couldn't control herself anymore and burst into tears.
All this was her own fault.
She should be happy that the Dong Mansion gave her a divorce letter, but she was not happy at all.
Because she had no home.
Could she go back to the Marquis' Mansion? No one would tolerate what her mother and the second brother's family did to the eldest brother. As her stepmother's younger sister, would she still have the face to go back?
But where could she go? To her second brother's place?
That was the other house that the second sister-in-law brought as a dowry. How could she, a divorced sister-in-law, have the nerve to go there?
