Quick travel to save a miserable life

After Wang Xiuyuan left the Dong Mansion, Dong Yue'e couldn't wait to come to Mr. Dong's study from the backyard and asked him what he thought of this Wang Xiucai.

Mr. Dong stroked his beard and said: "My son's vision is really good this time. This Wang Xiucai is a man. He is rich in knowledge and has a thorough understanding of the world. He is a rare talent. If it were not for his poverty, his future would be in doubt." It’s limited!”

Dong Yue'e heard the words and laughed softly: "What are you afraid of if you are poor? Our Dong family has a lot of money. Let alone raising people, we can even afford Jinshi, as long as he can pass the exam. Then...it's settled, My daughter chose him!”

Master Dong shook his head slightly when he heard this: "My dear daughter, don't worry, getting married is no different than anything else. You must find out all his details before proceeding. What's more, you have already been married once, so you must be more cautious this time. Let’s wait until the exact news comes back in two days!”

Dong Yue'e felt that what her father said made sense, and it was no less than these two days, so she didn't say anything more.

Only Dong Chengyu heard this and asked his father hesitantly: "Dad, I heard that Wang Xiucai has a wife..."

Mr. Dong disagreed: "So what, just divorce!"

Dong Chengyu opened his mouth when he heard this, not knowing what to say, then closed it again, and just sighed softly and unnoticeably.

As a new scholar in Changyuan County, Wang Xiuyuan is also a handsome and prosperous person. His reputation is far higher than that of other scholars at the same time. Therefore, it is not difficult to inquire about his family's situation. However, one day later, the Dong family's steward will inquire. Come and report everything to Mr. Dong.

Mr. Dong nodded while listening. He frowned slightly when he heard that Wang Xiuyuan relied on the money his wife earned from embroidery to go to school. When the housekeeper reported all other information about the Wang family, Mr. Dong would Everyone was sent down, and one person meditated for a while.

Later, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and invited the young master and young lady over.

"This is the situation of the Wang family. Yue'e, you decide for yourself whether to marry or not?" Mr. Dong relayed to his children what the housekeeper said about the Wang family's family affairs. He did not even hide the role that Wang Xiucai's wife played in Wang Xiuyuan's study.

"Dad, what's the point? Ask Wang Xiucai to pay her back the expenses he has spent over the years when he reconciles with her. At most, he can give her some additional money." Dong Yue'e said nonchalantly.

Dong Chengyu disagreed and was about to say: "Sister..."

"This is your sister's business, let her make her own decision!" Mr. Dong interrupted Dong Chengyu.

Dong Chengyu had no choice but to shut his mouth again, feeling a little dissatisfied. He wouldn't let me speak, so why did he ask me to come here?

"Dad, I have decided that this is Wang Xiucai!" Dong Yuee said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my daughter. You must be decisive in doing things and stick to your decisions." Mr. Dong said happily.

"Chengyu, you meet with Wang Xiuyuan tomorrow and hint to him to take care of his family affairs and choose a date to propose marriage." Mr. Dong's own son.

"But, dad..." Dong Chengyu wanted to say something.

"Okay, stop talking. This matter has been settled. If I hadn't come forward to tell him that these were inappropriate, I wouldn't have let you do it." Mr. Dong said flatly.

Dong Chengyu watched his father and sister settle the matter in just a few words. He had no room for comment, and he couldn't disobey his father's wishes, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The next day, Dong Chengyu had someone send a message to Wang Xiuyuan, asking him to go to a teahouse for tea in the afternoon.

Wang Xiuyuan asked the person who sent the post to wait for a moment. He immediately went back to his room and replied to the post, saying that he would be on time for the appointment.

Wang Xiuyuan probably understood in his heart that the Dong family had probably made a decision to ask him out to meet at this time.

In fact, he had a premonition in his heart, but when Young Master Dong gave him a vague message and asked him to handle the family affairs, he couldn't help but feel happy.

This is because the Dong family has taken a fancy to me and allowed me to marry Miss Dong!

Wang Xiuyuan got the confidence and returned home feeling a little dizzy.

However, when I got home and saw my wife's old complexion and old clothes, my head suddenly sobered up: I still have this trouble waiting for me at home!

Wang Xiuyuan had long known that if he wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Dong family, he would have to get rid of his current wife, but he didn't have any specific clues about how to do it.

If you directly tell her that you want to divorce her, she will definitely not agree. She finally became a scholar, and she will not be successful in divorce so easily. But if you say that you want to divorce her, there is no justifiable reason. It's really Take your brains!

Lin Hui looked at Wang Xiuyuan's uncertain expression. This man received the post in the morning and went out for most of the afternoon. When he came back, he couldn't help but look at himself secretly, and then he sat here thoughtfully. He didn't know what he was doing. What are you holding back?

Lin Hui estimated that [-]% of the Dong family's affairs were settled and they were ready to deal with him, otherwise he wouldn't have looked like that before!

Lin Hui was right. Wang Xiuyuan finally made up his mind on how to get rid of this woman Lin!

He had thought about it for a long time and thought of many countermeasures, but all of them had shortcomings. Later, he even came up with the unreliable idea of ​​killing his wife, but as soon as this idea came up, he was beaten back by himself. .

The risk of killing people is too great. No matter what method is used, once a life is lost, it is not a trivial matter, and there is a possibility of leakage.

Besides, the clerks and policemen in the yamen are not just for free. Once they find out the clues, not to mention their own future, they may even lose their lives!

This is not worth it!

But Mrs. Lin would never leave on her own. How could she be forced to leave?

Suddenly, Wang Xiuyuan's mind suddenly flashed into something that his mother accidentally said during dinner one day. It was about a farmer's wife who stole someone behind her husband's back and was divorced back to her parents' home after being discovered.

At that time, Mrs. Wang Liu was still aggrieved and felt that the treatment given to the woman was too light. She should at least be immersed in a pig cage and soaked in water for several hours to suffer.

Mrs. Wang Liu was young and widowed. She worked hard to raise her son by herself. She always regarded herself as a chaste woman and looked down upon those women who did not abide by women's ethics.

If this dynasty had not lowered its requirements on women's chastity due to the declining population when the country was founded, and even encouraged widows to remarry, Mrs. Wang Liu would have even wanted her son to apply for a chastity memorial memorial for her.

Wang Xiuyuan suddenly thought of what his mother said about the woman's affair. If Lin was also found to have cheated on someone, would it be possible for him to divorce her soon?

As for the reputation of his wife being unfaithful to him, Wang Xiuyuan didn't care. Such a reputation was neither painful nor harmful, and would not hinder him at all. At most, the world would sympathize with him a little bit.

As long as he can successfully marry Miss Dong and help his career, these so-called reputations don't matter!
