“Your mother-in-law is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.”
If she's upset with you, it must be because you did something she can't stand.
Besides, it is only natural for elders to teach younger generations a lesson.
If you have someone beat her, that's a heinous crime.
Don't think that just because you brought a few dowry items, you're in charge of this household.
My Qijia Village has nearly a thousand people, all of whom are of the same clan.
We can't accept someone like you who is disrespectful to elders and unfilial.
"Wait here, I'll go and call the tribespeople to come and take you home."
Xue Mengyu understood the meaning behind Old Man Qi's words.
She doesn't make the decisions in this family. Whether or not he marries her is their choice.
Even if, in the eyes of outsiders, they have already married and consummated their marriage, they can still go back to their wedding night.
After all, it was she who first ordered people to beat her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, she felt extremely angry.
She knew that if word got out, it would be her fault.
It was also clear how much the people of Qijia Village valued Qi Mingyu.
What if she comes over and sees him like this, and tries to call a doctor, only to find out that she drugged him?
With so many people in the Qi clan, they could probably tear her apart alive.
Furthermore, if Qi Mingyu were to drift apart from her after waking up, it would be an even greater loss.
Besides, if she really were divorced on the second day of her marriage...
For her, that was a dead end!
Knowing what was going on, Xue Mengyu kept a calm face and called out to the old man Qi just as he was about to leave.
"etc!"
Old Man Qi wanted to control Xue Mengyu, but he didn't really intend to divorce his wife on behalf of his son.
He knew his family's situation. If he had any backbone and really divorced Xue Mengyu, their family's life would definitely be difficult from then on.
He'd had enough of being broke and didn't want to suffer like that again.
While it's certainly wrong for Xue Mengyu to hit her mother-in-law, couldn't she have settled the matter with money?
He also thought about making more money so he could find a famous doctor to see what was wrong with his son.
If he can really be cured, he will become the emperor's patriarch in the future.
At that time, the Xue family will no longer be necessary.
His second child deserves someone better!
Unaware of Old Man Qi's plans, Xue Mengyu became anxious when she saw him pause for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
She lifted her skirt and ran outside, but soon stopped the person.
“Father, my husband has been married before. If he really divorces me, it won’t be good for his reputation.”
Yes, I know that I was wrong this time.
Wasn't it my mother-in-law who started it, and I just lost my temper and did that?
"How about this, I'll give ten taels of silver to buy medicine for my mother-in-law to help her recover. What do you think?"
In the past, ten taels of silver would have been a lot for the old man.
However, after learning how wealthy the Xue family was and how much dowry Xue Mengyu had, he became somewhat disdainful of them.
He immediately said with a mocking expression, "This is not a matter of money."
The Xue family is a family of literate people, a family of farmers and scholars.
You are a merchant's daughter, and your family is in the business of selling incense and other precious items. Mingyu's mother and I have always disagreed with your relationship.
It was Mingyu who said that you were gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, which is why he let you into the family.
So, on the second day after the wedding, this is how you treat your mother-in-law?
Tell me, which of these two words best describes you: knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and virtuous?
As Old Qi spoke, he was thinking rapidly.
