Chapter 70: Bad dad and bad brother, slap them all!
"What?!"
Hearing this, Shen Yu'an stood up and smashed the teacup in his hand with a clang.
His face was filled with shock and disbelief.
I even doubted my own ears.
"What divorce letter did you say? Say it again!"
His follower Qingyun was even more anxious than he was.
If this young mistress really divorces the young master, then given the young master's lavish spending habits, he will soon be left with nothing and have to beg on the streets.
"Butler Sun secretly told my subordinates...Butler Sun has watched you grow up since you were a child, and I really can't bear to see you and the young mistress part ways like this!
Young Master, please think of a solution quickly!
"I see that the young lady is determined this time, and it doesn't seem like she's just saying this out of anger. If Your Majesty really approves the young lady's divorce letter, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
Shen Yu'an was so angry that his face turned green and his fingers were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
"Divorce letter? She actually wants to divorce me?! I know, it must be the eldest princess who instigated it... She can't bear to see Zhizhi and me having a good time when she herself is not having a good time!"
Damn gossip, tell her to mind her own business!
Why didn't he realize before that his silent sister-in-law had such a vicious side.
It’s all brother’s fault. He can’t even manage a woman. He’s so useless!
"Oh, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang oneself are all common ways women do. The princess has only submitted a divorce letter, and there's no guarantee that His Majesty will grant it."
Ji Lingzhu stepped closer and said something to comfort him.
I don't think this is that easy.
After all, Song Zhizhi is just the daughter of a merchant. Without the Marquis' Mansion, she is nothing. How could His Majesty allow her to act so recklessly without even considering her own worth?
Shen Yu'an calmed down a little after hearing this and nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty will not let her do whatever she wants..."
Ji Lingzhu didn't want Song Zhizhi to divorce him at the moment. That woman could be sick, disabled, or die, but she could never leave the Marquis' Mansion with her dowry.
After thinking about it, Ji Lingzhu changed her tone to one of aggrieved and pretended to persuade him.
"They say a harmonious family brings prosperity. It's fine that my sister-in-law wants to divorce me over such a trivial matter. It's normal for a girl to lose her temper, but she brought the matter of 'divorcing' to Your Majesty. It's really outrageous... To put it bluntly, my sister-in-law is throwing your dignity on the ground. You must not indulge her!"
Shen Yu'an slammed the table and immediately became angry and embarrassed.
"You're right, I can't spoil her like this anymore! I'm going to find her now!"
Seeing him about to walk out, Ji Lingzhu hurriedly chased after him, grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"Hey, Brother...don't be so anxious! What's the point of going to my sister-in-law right now? She's furious and won't listen to you!"
Shen Yuan paused, frowning deeply.
"So what do you think we should do?"
Ji Lingzhu suggested.
"Actually, this isn't that difficult to do... I heard it was the Song family who took the initiative to propose this marriage. Now that the Marquis is so powerful, the Song family must be rushing to curry favor with him. How could they let my sister-in-law act so recklessly and ruin this good marriage?"
Shen Yu'an immediately understood what she meant.
"So, you want me to go to the Song family and ask Zhizhi's father and brother to come forward?"
Ji Lingzhu raised her hand, patted his shoulder, and praised him.
"As expected of you, Senior Brother! You're really smart! As long as we get someone from the Song family to come, are you still worried that my sister-in-law won't listen to them? Otherwise, she'll lose both her husband's family and her natal family... How will a mere merchant's wife cope?"
Shen Yu'an nodded.
"Okay, I'll go to the Song family now!"
…
Marquis' Mansion.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the room waiting for news.
Murong Qing went into the palace early in the morning with the divorce letter, and she hasn't come back yet. I wonder if she got into any trouble.
Song Zhizhi was nervous at first, and now she was anxious. She was getting more and more restless the longer she waited.
Holding the plate of snacks in my hand, I couldn't help but eat piece after piece.
His eyes kept looking outside the yard.
She couldn't explain how she felt right now. She seemed to be looking forward to leaving Shen Yu'an as soon as possible, but she also felt a little lost, not knowing what to do in the future if she really left the Marquis' Mansion.
"Mother, do you think His Majesty will grant my request?"
Jiang Wanning was cracking melon seeds. Although he was a little worried, his expression was much more relaxed.
"It's hard to say, but this is the quickest way. Let's try it first... If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways. As long as you want to kick that rebellious son out, you can always kick him out."
"oh."
After hearing what she said, Song Zhizhi immediately relaxed a lot.
After hesitating for a moment, he expressed his concerns.
"I didn't dare tell my father about this... He values this marriage very much and is always urging me to have a child. If he knew that I divorced Shen Yu'an, he would probably beat me to death..."
"Pooh!"
Jiang Wanning spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells. He got angry whenever he mentioned those worthless people in the Song family.
Although the Song family is wealthy and powerful, most of their assets came as a dowry from Song Zhizhi's mother's family.
Unfortunately, her mother passed away early, and she only had one daughter, Song Zhizhi. In the end, she was given to that bastard Song Qingde who was greedy and wanted to make a fortune!
Before his first wife's body was even cold, the old man couldn't wait to marry several concubines and siphon off a bunch of useless sons, just to suck Song Zhizhi's blood! He also always relied on his father's and brother's status to boss her around, asking her for money, hundreds or even thousands of taels at a time. Chunchun treated Song Zhizhi, the little god of wealth, like an ATM.
I really don’t want to be angry, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"Why do you care about that old guy? If he dares to attack you, I will—"
The sentence is not finished yet.
Nanny Lin hurried in from outside and said excitedly.
"Madam, come to life!"
Jiang Wanning paused, not understanding for a moment: "What?"
“No, no…”
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Nanny Lin immediately changed her words.
"It's the Song family! There are quite a few of them, looking very aggressive, as if they want to hold the Second Young Master's wife accountable... Ptah, none of them are good!"
Jiang Wanning pinched his wrist, a sneer in his eyes.
Her hands were itching.
This family of vampires came to her house and served as her punching bags. Shouldn't she treat them well?
"Come on, Zhizhi! Go meet your father and your brothers... If they treat you badly, I'll slap them!"
Looking at Jiang Wanning's murderous expression, Song Zhizhi gulped down the pastry in her mouth and almost choked herself.
She patted her chest several times before she caught her breath and hurriedly chased after him.
"Mother, wait for me—"
…
lobby.
As expected, quite a few people from the Song family came, and they were all men.
Shen Yu'an and Ji Lingzhu were there too.
Seeing the two of them, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but glance at Butler Sun coldly: "Who told you to let them in? Get them out!"
Butler Sun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was about to plead for mercy.
"lady……"
Song Qingde took the initiative to step forward and dissuade him.
"Oh my, mother-in-law! Why are you so angry? It's just a little kid who doesn't know what's going on. He's just playing around in private! Zhizhi has been spoiled by me since she was a child, that's why she's so unruly."
"Don't call me so intimate, it's disgusting!"
Jiang Wanning interrupted him directly, not wanting to give him a good look.
Song Qingde's tone paused. He felt embarrassed and annoyed at being humiliated.
He turned around, glared at Song Zhizhi and scolded her.
"Nonsense! Why are you trying to learn something else and divorce someone else? She's the eldest princess, so she has the right to ask for permission to divorce her husband. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you say such a thing! Get down on your knees and admit your mistake to Yu An!"
Song Zhizhi's eyes turned red after being scolded by him, and she turned her head away and said stubbornly.
"I'm not wrong, why should I admit it!"
"You rebellious girl! You don't even listen to me. You're really rebelling against heaven! Today, I will discipline you on behalf of your deceased mother—"
As Song Qingde spoke, he raised his hand, as if to slap Song Zhizhi in the face!
“Bang!”
