Xiatian put down his paintbrush and walked out of the study without even washing his hands.
"Yang Yiyi, why are you here again?" Xia Tian stood on the steps at the door of the study and said in a somewhat displeased tone.
"Xia Tian, I want to talk to you." Yang Yiyi said in a strong attitude.
There is no trace of the soft and gentle voice as before!
He doesn't even call her "cousin-in-law" anymore.
"What do you want to talk about? What can I talk to you about?" Xia Tian rolled his eyes, "Goodbye!"
What a waste of her time.
She is obviously very busy now, so who has time to argue with her?
When Cuiyun and Cuiling heard her say this, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to ask Yang Yiyi to leave.
"Wait, if you don't talk to me today, I will die here." Yang Yiyi suddenly pulled out a hairpin from her head and pressed it against her neck.
That resolute look forced Xia Tian to stop and go back to the study.
Although she had no control over whether Yang Yiyi was dead or alive, she couldn't let anything happen to this person in her own house.
Xiaorou, who was standing behind Yang Yiyi, was also startled by her young lady's actions. "Miss, what are you doing?"
Xiaorou hurried forward and wanted to take the hairpin from her hand, "Miss, can you give me the hairpin?"
"Don't move!" The hairpin that Yang Yiyi had placed against her neck moved one step closer and was about to pierce her skin. Xiaorou was so scared that she was about to cry.
"Miss, don't do anything stupid!" Xiao Rou said with a trembling voice, and then knelt down to beg Xia Tian, "Madam Shen, please save my young lady and talk to her. I beg you."
Xiaorou knocked her head to the ground, her face covered with tears.
Xia Tian frowned, but couldn't just leave it alone.
It looks like we have to talk about it today.
But she also wanted to know what she had to say?
"You want to talk, right? Okay, come with me." Xia Tian said in a cold voice and walked into the main room without looking back.
Yang Yiyi was still holding the hairpin and hadn't reacted yet. She probably didn't expect Xia Tian to agree so easily.
It was Xiaorou, who was kneeling on the ground, who reacted first. She immediately got up and said anxiously, "Miss, Madam Shen has agreed. Take off the hairpin quickly!"
Looking at her young lady's resolute look, she was really afraid that she would stab her without hesitation!
Yang Yiyi only reacted after hearing Xiaorou's voice, and slowly put her hand down, but the hairpin was still tightly held in her hand. Looking closely, the hand hidden in the sleeve was trembling slightly.
"Miss, let me hold the hairpin for you!" Xiaorou tried to take the hairpin from Yang Yiyi's hand.
That thing is too dangerous in the hands of a young lady!
But Yang Yiyi acted as if she didn't hear it, tightly grasping the hairpin, and followed him to the main room.
When Xiaorou saw her young lady leave, she quickly followed her in.
She didn't dare let the young lady and Mrs. Shen be alone together now. If something happened to one of them, she would be held responsible.
The door to the main room was open. Yang Yiyi went in and Xia Tian sat on the chair in the main seat.
Yang Yiyi also found a chair and sat down.
Ningxiang also quickly made two cups of tea and brought them in.
He put down the tea bowl and stood upright behind Xia Tian.
Xia Tian looked at Xiao Rou who was standing behind Yang Yiyi with a wary look on her face, and glanced at Ning Xiang who was standing straight, feeling a little amused and touched.
This is because he is afraid that she will suffer a loss, so he stands behind her to give her courage!
"Let's talk about whatever you want to talk about now!" Xia Tian looked at Yang Yiyi leisurely.
This girl has been acting aggressively since she entered the yard. I wonder what she is thinking when she looks at me like this?
"I want you to give cousin Shen Nian to me!" Yang Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but still said what was in her mind.
She knew that if she was asked to be a concubine for her cousin Shen Nian, her family would never agree.
Only if I become the legal wife will her family agree.
After much thought, she decided that this was the only feasible solution.
When Xia Tian heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that this girl would be so bold and asked her to give up the position of wife right away.
Xia Tian suddenly wanted to know what kind of train of thought could allow her to disregard her identity as a young lady from an aristocratic family and say such explosive words?
To be honest, even a modern person like her can't say such words.
How could she, a young lady from a noble family, just speak so freely?
Xia Tian was so angry that she almost laughed, but she really couldn't stop laughing.
In order to maintain his image, he turned his head away, covered his face with his sleeves and smiled secretly.
Ningxiang stood behind her, looking at her wife's inexplicable laughter with a bewildered look on her face. She thought to herself, "What is the wife laughing at? What's so funny about this? Someone is trying to steal her husband, and she still thinks it's funny?"
Xia Tian laughed for a long time before putting down his sleeves and trying hard to hold back his laughter, “Why do you think I will give Shen Nian to you?”
Although it's a joke, we still have to make it clear what needs to be said.
"You and my cousin have been married for four years, but you still have no children. This is already a violation of the seven reasons for divorce. If you give your cousin to me, I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Yang Yiyi said this with a proud look on her face, as if this was a great favor.
Xia Tian suddenly felt that having someone like this to entertain her on her dull days didn't seem like a bad thing.
So he continued to ask patiently, "Did your cousin agree to this?"
"Why do you need my consent? As long as you're willing to leave, I can't stop you. I'll then give you a large sum of money, enough to support you for the rest of your life. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Otherwise, when I divorce you, you won't have that much money as compensation."
She had found out clearly that her cousin's wife came from the countryside and was of low status, and was not worthy of her cousin from the Shen family.
The reason Shen's cousin married her was simply because she saved her life, and the luxurious life she had enjoyed over the past few years was enough to repay the favor, not to mention that she had also promised to give her a large sum of money for her retirement!
Xia Tian fell silent for a moment. She didn't know what she had done wrong. She always made others think that she was easy to bully!
Even a lady from a rich and powerful family dared to casually say that she wanted to divorce her!
Yang Yiyi thought Xia Tian was weighing what she said in silence, so she didn't urge her, but raised her chin slightly and waited for the answer.
She believed that she would agree. After all, they had been married for so many years without having children, which was the weak point of any married woman.
"Then how much silver can you give?" Xia Tian asked after thinking for a while.
She wanted to know how much her marriage was worth!
In the past, Shen Hui wanted to give her one thousand taels to let her leave Shen Nian, but she did not agree. Later, she increased it to ten thousand taels!
Now she wants to see how much money Yang Yiyi can offer?
When she returns to the capital, she can tell Shen Hui about it as a joke.
"Two thousand taels." When Yang Yiyi heard her asking about silver, she immediately raised two fingers excitedly and said.
It seemed as if he was afraid that if he went any slower she would regret it.
Yang Yiyi's impatience made Xiaorou, who was standing behind her, a little confused. Could it be that Madam Shen was so confused that she was fooled by her young lady?
