Chapter 1203 The Meal Replacement Lady is Not Likeable (18)
Yuan Shichu never expected that, she had just said in front of Yuan Shiwan that if Zhan Shulin dared to take a concubine, she would divorce him. Less than a month later, Zhan Shulin actually brought back a pregnant woman for her.
"Second son, are you so foolish?!" Madam Zhan looked at her second son with great sorrow and said, "If you really like her, why don't you just take her home with a legitimate reason? Why do you have to keep her outside without any status and only bring her home now that she's pregnant? Do you still take your wife seriously? Are you worthy of your wife?"
Old Madam Zhan glared at Zhan Shulin in disappointment. She really couldn't understand why her second son, who had always been rational and sober, would do such a foolish thing. Keeping a mistress was something only those playboys would do, but it happened to her sensible and capable second son. Old Madam Zhan was a little disappointed in him for a moment.
Zhan Shulin touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Son, isn't this just a moment of confusion? Besides, Yuan is really jealous. How dare I let her know that I like someone else..." As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Yuan Shichu.
Yuan Shichu crossed his arms with a blank expression. He glanced at the woman beside Zhan Shulin who was standing there with her head down and not saying a word. She was pale and had a five or six month pregnant belly. Then he said to Madam Zhan in a very calm tone, "Madam, I want to divorce Zhan Shulin."
"What? No! I don't agree!" Before Mrs. Zhan could answer, Zhan Shulin immediately retorted.
Yuan Shichu sneered, "What's the point of you disagreeing? As long as I want to divorce, I will succeed in the end."
At this time, Zhan Yuanning, who was watching the excitement on the side, was shocked when he heard Yuan Shichu's words, and hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. Divorce is such a big thing that can't be said casually... Although my second brother is a little confused, he still cares about you very much. Don't worry, even if this woman enters the mansion and gives birth to a child, it won't affect you. You are my second brother's legitimate wife. Even if he has many concubines and illegitimate children, they must respect you."
"You men are all the same. Of course you will speak up for him. What's the point of me staying with a man who doesn't follow his chastity? Will it annoy me? You might as well get a divorce now while we don't have any children." Yuan Shichu said sarcastically.
Zhan Yuanning immediately suspected that Yuan Shichu was not only scolding his second brother, but also himself, making him look very embarrassed. He thought to himself: Second brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that my sister-in-law is too strong...
On the contrary, the eldest sister-in-law Chen, who was originally watching Yuan Shichu's jokes, particularly agreed with her words. Didn't she feel disgusted with her husband's concubines? She felt disgusted as well, but she didn't have the confidence to resist or divorce, because she couldn't give birth to a child, so she had no confidence; her family was also unreliable and couldn't support her, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to stay in the Zhan family and suffer for giving birth to a child, and in the end she would still have to raise a child for the concubines...
When Chen thought of her own suffering, she looked at Yuan Shichu with more empathy and sympathy.
Madam Zhan spoke at this time: "Second brother's wife, although the second brother is a little confused, he has corrected it, hasn't he? He is a man, it is normal for him to be lustful. Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Not to mention the distant ones, just take your eldest brother, he also has two concubines, right? Your sister-in-law doesn't take it to heart at all, you should be more open-minded, learn from your sister-in-law, don't be too jealous."
After all, the old lady is Zhan Shulin's mother. Although she is not happy that he has caused a scandal with his mistress, she still considers his interests and persuades Yuan Shichu to endure it.
How could Yuan Shichu bear it? His face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Old Madam, you don't have to persuade me. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. I won't want a man who has been tainted by other women. I'm not discussing divorce with you, but informing you that I will move out after I pack up my things."
"No! How can Yuan Shichu be so cruel? Is the love we've had for more than a year fake?" Zhan Shulin's face was extremely ugly, and his handsome brows were tightly furrowed. "I, I have my reasons. Things are not what you think. Don't be impulsive, okay?"
Yuan Shichu was almost laughing at his words and taunted him, "Marriage love? I'm cruel? Are you talking about yourself? Who is it that disregards the marriage love of more than a year and has another woman outside? You always blame others and say you have your own difficulties. So what are your difficulties? Tell me about it."
Zhan Shulin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he said nothing. He just said dryly, "Believe me, I didn't betray you."
Yuan Shichu pointed at the woman's bulging belly and said, "You didn't betray me? Now the evidence is in front of me, and you're still lying with your eyes open. Zhan Shulin, I didn't expect you to be such a coward. I misjudged you before. Anyway, just wait for your divorce from me!"
After she finished speaking, she left the old lady's yard without looking back, regardless of Zhan Shulin and Old Madam Zhan's attempts to keep her, and told Zhichun and the others to pack up their things.
Zhichun originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing that she was determined, he gave up the idea of persuading her and instead focused on packing her things.
"Second brother, what you did was really unkind..." Zhan Yuanning patted Zhan Shulin on the shoulder and said, "My sister-in-law is angry and might say anything. When you go back, you can comfort her and let her vent her anger."
Zhan Yuanning passed on his experience to his younger brother, and couldn't help but take a look at the woman Zhan Shulin brought back. After seeing her, he muttered, "This woman is not even as pretty as my sister-in-law. Why did you choose her, second brother?"
Zhan Shulin glared at his unreliable elder brother and warned him. Zhan Yuanning waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright. I didn't expect you to be so possessive. I don't want to take care of your business..." Then he left with Chen.
"Take her away and settle her down. Don't let her get in my way here." Old Madam Zhan glared at Zhan Shulin unhappily.
Zhan Shulin had no choice but to take Liu away to make arrangements.
After finally returning to Yuan Shichu's main courtyard, I found that the servants had indeed started to move and were packing up their things in an orderly manner.
Zhan Shulin suddenly became anxious, and rushed into the inner room, found Yuan Shichu who was looking through her family assets, grabbed her shoulders and explained anxiously: "Yuan Shichu, please make them stop, I can't divorce you..."
Yuan Shichu just sneered at him, shook off his hand and said, "Don't touch me, you're dirty."
Zhan Shulin's face turned pale instantly. The word "dirty" was too harsh. He didn't expect that his wife would use it to describe him.
But he reacted quickly, kicked out all the servants, slammed the door, and then whispered to Yuan Shichu: "I really didn't betray you. Liu is not my concubine, and her child is not mine. She just needs the identity of a concubine to cover up her tracks..."
