Chapter 142 Unity is strength
Zheng knelt and crawled in front of the old lady and the old Duke, kowtowed and begged, "Please, old master and old lady, make the decision!
I can't live like this anymore. If you don't agree to divorce me, Mingwei will be dead! If anything happens to him, I won't live anymore! Please allow him to divorce me!"
She had hit her head hard and it was well maintained. After a few hits, her forehead was bruised and her head was buzzing. After a few more hits, blood came out of her forehead.
The old lady and the old duke looked at each other.
The old Duke nodded slightly.
The lady looked at Zheng whose face was covered in blood, then looked at Shi Mingwei whose face was covered in blood, and slowly let go of Le Anning's hand.
With tears in her eyes, she said apologetically: "Mingwei's wife, I'm sorry for wronging you. You and Mingwei should just get divorced."
When the word "divorce" was uttered, the hearts of the men in the hall fell back into their stomachs.
Le An Ning burst into tears and regretted not bringing a knife. He thought that killing one would be a profit. If he stabbed a few members of the Shi family to death, the feud would be settled!
Fu Nanjun and Wang Fan looked at each other, then they both knelt down and said with tears in their eyes, "In this case, please have mercy on us, old lady, and let us divorce together!"
Everyone's face changed again and they felt it was difficult to breathe.
What are these two getting involved with?
Shi Mingmo was horrified and hurriedly tried to pull Wang Fan away: "My Sixth Grandma, why are you threatening to divorce me? I have never thought of divorcing you. Hurry up and stop interfering!"
Wang Fan couldn't stand him being touched at all, so she slapped his hand away and said, "Madam, I've been married for more than two years, but I still don't have a child. I don't dare to delay Sixth Master. I feel guilty, so I beg you to make the decision and let Sixth Master divorce me!"
Shi Mingmo was so shocked by what he heard that he froze in a daze. Then he knelt down beside her, tugging at her sleeves and begging in a low voice:
"They are making a fuss, why are you making a fuss? When have I ever said I would divorce my wife?"
Fu Nanjun stroked his chest. The whip wound had healed, but it would leave scars on his chest for the rest of his life. He said earnestly:
"My granddaughter-in-law was whipped by the master. I have no face to be the wife of the prince, no face to face the relatives and friends inside and outside the palace, no face to serve my uncle and aunt. I beg the old master and the old lady to divorce me for the master and find another virtuous wife for the master!"
The old Duke and others looked livid, and finally understood what Fu Nanjun and Wang Fan were here for.
How to take a break?
Three brothers in the Duke's Mansion divorced their wives one after another. If this news gets out, will anyone in their family be able to hold their heads up high in public?
These three daughters-in-law are using their reputations to threaten them!
And what the Duke's Mansion has lacked most in the past six months is a good reputation.
The old Duke slammed the table and was about to speak, but the lady could no longer hold on, her head tilted, and she fainted.
Aunt Tang screamed, "Old lady! Old lady!"
There was chaos in the hall again.
The old Duke cursed, "You useless things! You are not a mother-in-law, not a daughter-in-law, not a husband, not a wife, not a father, not a daughter! Get out of here!"
The divorce ends here. Xiaoer, if you can't live and can't stand your wife, then you can die! We don't have a coward like you in the Shi family. When you die, I will open the ancestral hall and remove your name from the family tree!"
The Shi family's father and son were horrified and dared not say a word. They dragged the unconscious Shi Mingwei out.
Rong was unable to escape and had no choice but to call for the doctor. She also called the maids and servants, and carried the lady on her back to the side room to lie down.
He pinched her philtrum and took out a snuff bottle and placed it under her nose to stimulate her.
The old lady woke up faintly, sneezed, opened her eyes, and burst into tears. She choked and said, "Old man, you can't divorce me, you can't divorce me..."
The old Duke sent his daughter-in-law and the maids away, leaving only Aunt Tang, who sat by the bed, held his wife's hand, and sighed:
"Don't worry, I haven't divorced my wife, nor have I asked anyone to divorce. I'm not dead yet, so this family won't break up."
The lady choked up for a while and said in a trembling voice, "People's hearts are scattered."
The old Duke used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his wife's eyes. "When there are many people, there are many tricks. When I was a son and a grandson, I made more trouble than this. We have gone through all the storms and waves. What's this? Why did you faint from anger?
It is not worth getting angry over those unfilial descendants. A couple fights at the head of the bed but makes up at the foot of the bed. No matter how much they quarrel, they can never make a big difference.
I don't think the eldest brother and his wife really want to divorce, they just want to scare Mingwei's wife - we had the same idea, and we said we would persuade them. Mingwei's wife should have prepared for it, and she asked her two sisters-in-law to help.
From the beginning to the end, they knew what was going on, but we old couple took it seriously and used it as a pawn for them, and in the end it was you who fainted from anger. What do you think we were up to?"
As the old Duke spoke, he also became discouraged.
The lady said with tears on her face, "Although the eldest daughter-in-law was partial and domineering, she was also quite stable and had no major mistakes. Recently, things have not gone well for her. She fell seriously ill and has gradually lost her sense of order.
As an elder and a leader, she doesn't know how to restrain herself. Wouldn't the younger ones under her be in chaos?
I've heard rumors about Mingwei abusing the maids, but I didn't know it was so serious. I guess it was all because of the eldest brother's wife's ruthless actions. If she had continued to indulge him day by day, Mingwei would have grown into the bastard he is today.
This child is hopeless. If he were a cat or a dog, he would be locked in a cage, but he is a living being, and there is no way to break him free. His legs are on his body, so who can control him?"
The old Duke scolded, "It's said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, look at you, you are worried again. Why bother with him? He is a violent fool and an old mother who indulges him. I won't be surprised at any time if he dies in the hands of someone."
The lady patted his hand and said, "He is your grandson after all, why curse him?"
"Well, well, well, I won't say anything more."
When the old Duke saw that his wife had stopped crying, he chuckled, and when he heard outside that the doctor had arrived, he stopped talking, lowered the curtain, and invited the doctor in to take her pulse.
?
During dinner, Shi Yao saw that all the brothers of the Shi family were gathered together in a very orderly manner, and she knew that the Shi family members were going to unite to deal with Le An Ning.
Divorce your wife.
At this moment, the Shi family would definitely not really divorce his wife. As for Shi Minghui, she had not yet secured a marriage, so they were just trying to scare Le An Ning and make her behave herself.
But what if the break succeeds?
Therefore, Shi Yao said that she couldn't sleep, so she measured the land in Guanju Courtyard and casually asked the maids to go out and visit friends.
In less than half an hour, the gossip came back.
At that time, the lady had driven away the servants and left only Nanny Tang to serve in the hall. The servants were far away and could only hear screaming and yelling, and cries for help. They had no idea what was going on and were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks and wished they could climb up the window to listen carefully.
However, the result is clear at a glance.
"The second master had a broken forehead, and was covered in blood. When he was carried out, he was unconscious. I heard that he tried to commit suicide by hitting the corner of the table."
"The eldest wife's forehead was bruised and blue. She cried and howled. As soon as she walked out of the gate of Ganlu Hall, she fell down. She had to ask the Duke to hold her up, otherwise she would have been covered in bruises."
"Oh my! Our Duke is still strong despite his old age, and his reactions are quick! Sister Muxiang, please tell me quickly, is there anything else? I'm so worried!"
