Chapter 446 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting
Zhao Anping and Zhao Zhifu both looked at Zhao Zhimo in surprise. Neither of them had expected that their son/eldest brother would agree.
Zhao Lingmeng saw the decisiveness in her nephew's eyes, and she actually began to admire him a little. Whether or not a letter of severance is truly severed isn't something that can be determined by a piece of paper. Whether I'm filial or not is my own business, but it's wise not to let others manipulate me at will.
"Big Brother" Zhao Zhifu still wanted to plead for his mother. After all, his filial character cannot be destroyed so easily.
Zhao Zhimo held his younger brother tightly, afraid that he would do something stupid. This younger brother was good in every way, except that he was too soft-hearted. In that case, let him do these things.
"Mother, please write it! From now on, my brother and I will not block your path to prosperity." Zhao Zhimo was not stupid. It was obvious that his father wanted his mother to go to the ancestral temple. Besides having no freedom, she might not even have a hard life.
But his mother was unwilling to compromise for him and his brother. She never thought about how embarrassing his and his brother's position would be if his father remarried in the future.
Since their father kept making concessions for him and his brother, it became even more obvious who they would choose.
Seeing that her eldest son had no intention of giving in, Jin glared at Zhao Lingmeng again, thinking that any child who didn't grow up under her wing was unfilial.
She could only place her final hope on her caring youngest son: "Fu'er, what about you? Don't you want your mother anymore?"
Zhao Zhifu is not a fool. His mother has been unreliable for many years, and he has grown up under the protection of his father and brother. He is not a child who is controlled by his mother, but a child who is controlled by his brother.
Over the years, he has been restraining Jin Shi, coaxing Jin Shi, and pretending to be extremely filial. He just doesn't want his mother to mess around and shake his brother's position. The position of the crown prince can only belong to his brother.
If we were to ask who hated the Jin family the most, Zhao Zhifu would definitely be at the top of the list. Everyone was fooled by this filial son.
But no matter what Zhao Zhifu was thinking at this moment, he still put on a look of reluctance and then knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jin.
"Mother, take good care of yourself from now on! A son can only obey his father." Zhao Zhifu climbed up and immediately gave all the valuable jade pendants, hairpins, banknotes, and small change he had on him to Jin. Who among those present would not think that this child was filial? Even Young Master Jin's eyes were moved.
At this moment, Zhao Zhifu was thinking, "I'm already such a filial son. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me!" It's best not to bother his brother. And if he's disobedient, he can just let his father take the blame! If Jin ever makes any unreasonable demands, he can just say "Father doesn't allow it" and that's it.
Jin held the gift her youngest son had given her without hesitation, and her heart was filled with grief. She felt that even if she wrote a letter of severance, what would it matter?
The eldest son cannot be relied upon, and the younger son is so filial, how can he ignore her?
She bit her cheek and mustered up her strength, "I'll write it!"
The servants around Marquis Wu'an had already prepared the pen, ink and ink pad. When they heard that Jin agreed to write, they hurried forward.
Jin glared at the follower of Marquis Wu'an hatefully, thinking to herself, sooner or later, my youngest son will deal with you.
Wu Anhou had also written the divorce letter, so the process began with everyone signing and putting their fingerprints on it. Once the process was complete, Wu Anhou didn't want to wait any longer and immediately called the clan elders to open the ancestral hall and cross out Jin's name.
Then Marquis Wu'an immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, explaining the matter and requesting the cancellation of the imperial edict on Jin.
The emperor also knew that Madam Wei could not hold on for much longer, so he did not make a fuss and approved it that day.
That's why a series of events happened in the morning that led to the divorce. At noon, when Zhao Lingmeng was preparing to take the child back, the imperial edict came down from the palace to revoke Jin's title of Consort.
The entire Yuan capital admired the speed of the Wu'an Marquisate. Jin's mother wanted to come to the Wu'an Marquisate to cause trouble, but Old Master Jin held her back. He had heard that Madam Wei was seriously ill. If she accidentally angered her to death, the eldest princess alone would be enough to end the Jin family.
Jin gritted her teeth as she accepted the imperial edict, looking resentfully at Zhao Lingmeng, who was chatting and laughing with her husband. "Princess Funing has finally caused my eldest brother's wife and children to be separated. Are you satisfied?"
In response, Qiuyue stepped forward and slapped Jin twice, "Who do you think you are? How dare you bring yourself to associate with our eldest princess?"
Qiuyue has wanted to beat up the Jin family for a long time. What kind of people are they? They are annoying their prince all day long.
Jin still habitually looked towards Marquis Wu'an for help.
Marquis Wu'an spread his hands and said, "You are not my wife now. If you cause trouble, it is not my responsibility. I will give you one day to move out of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion."
And you'd better not disturb your father and mother. Your mother is seriously ill now. If you accidentally make her angry, do you think you will be buried with her?"
Zhao Anping felt so good about not having to clean up the mess. If only he had known better, he would have just done it for the sake of his two sons.
Jin Shi was struck by Zhao Anping's inner thoughts. She was indeed planning to go to the old Marquis Zhao and make a scene before leaving. But after hearing Zhao Anping's heartless words, she didn't dare to take the risk. Who wants to die when they can live well?
Looking at these people who had changed their faces and didn't recognize her, it was impossible for her to say that she had no regrets in her heart, but she had no way back. She could only stare at Zhao Anping with hatred, as if she wanted to carve this hatred into her bones.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about what was happening in Big Brother's house! She just smiled and looked at Jin, "I'm going to fight, so I'll reward you with a kneeling farewell!"
Now Jin is no longer a noble lady, and it would only take Zhao Lingmeng a few minutes to deal with her.
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng said this, someone immediately pressed Jin down, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
In fact, if Jin hadn't picked on her, Zhao Lingmeng wouldn't have bothered to argue with her. But Jin had to pick on her! Zhao Lingmeng always believed in revenge.
Jin's resistance was futile and she could only look to her youngest son for help.
Then Jin saw Marquis Wu'an and the people around him kneeling and bowing, "Farewell, Princess."
This clearly told Jin, "What are you thinking? That's the eldest princess."
Zhao Lingmeng saw this and immediately took her people back, preparing to visit her mother tomorrow. Anyway, she had nothing to do afterwards, so she would bring her husband to accompany her mother for a while every day, and then return home.
On the way back in the carriage, Zhao Houyang said to Zhao Lingmeng, "Mom, I also want to take a leave of absence and stay home to accompany you to visit your grandmother every day."
