I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ji Xiaobei comforted.

"Sister, you stay in the house and take care of the child. Don't let him take the child away. I'll go out and take a look! Also, don't go out..."

She said to all women.

"Aunt Song, please look after the child. Jiaojiao and I will go out!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Jiao, Bei, as long as we are here, their family members will never be able to enter the house." Aunt Song said, patting her chest.

Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao walked out the door.

Ji Deyan and Little Curly also ran out one after another.

Ruo Xiaolian was standing at the door with a sad face. As soon as he heard footsteps, he couldn't help crying.

"Third Master, hold on. You must remember the task the old man assigned to you!" an elderly steward reminded.

Ruo Xiaolian tried hard to hold back his tears.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the old steward took a few steps back.

I heard that the woman would slap someone in the face whenever she disagreed with him, and she made the old man's face swollen.

Jiaojiao stepped out of the door and asked coldly, "Ruo Xiaolian, what are you doing here?"

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry. I had no choice. The old lady just let me out..."

Ruo Xiaolian said with tears in his eyes.

"If our fate as Xiaolian is over, let's get divorced. I've already divided the money in the Golden Leopard Bank, half for each of us. I don't want anything left in the house, I'll give it all to you!"

Ruo Xiaolian burst into tears: "I don't want to divorce, I..."

"It's up to you whether we can get along or not. I will not go back to the Ruo family!"

Jiaojiao said in a firm tone.

Her grandfather left her so many farms and shops, so she could support An An and herself.

The steward behind Ruo Xiaolian secretly pushed Ruo Xiaolian on the back and reminded him in a low voice: "Third Master, let's talk about business!"

Ruo Xiaolian cried and turned away angrily, "This is my main business. Jiaojiao is about to divorce me. Cuijinlou's affairs are Ruo's family's affairs. What does it have to do with me?"

The old steward’s face turned red with anxiety:...Well, didn’t the old man tell us everything when we came?

Ji Xiaobei said directly to the steward: "Old steward, go back and tell your father that I will not do business with Cuijinlou anymore!"

The old steward smiled and stepped forward courageously and said, "Miss Ji, we can still discuss this further!"

Ji Xiaobei slammed the door shut.

The old steward touched his face: That was close!

The two carriages at the door drove away dejectedly.

When Jiaojiao heard the carriage leave, she burst into tears. She felt sorry for her daughter. Her father came over but didn't ask a single question.

Her daughter has never been loved by her father since she was young, so she has to be extra nice to her daughter.

.

Liang Yuyao went to Dongcheng Villa twice. In addition to checking the accounts of the villa, he also asked Dazhuang to inquire about the whereabouts of his cousin Bai Jiantang.

That day, Da Zhuang brought news saying that Mr. Bai had been found.

Mr. Bai studied at the Qiuxian Academy in Dongcheng.

Liang Yuyao planned to meet him and inquire about his grandmother's news.

The two met in a teahouse in Dongcheng.

Liang Yuyao walked in with Danfeng and saw the young man in white sitting in the corner.

He looked up and saw Liang Yuyao, was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

"Cousin!" he called out.

Liang Yuyao bowed and called him cousin.

After sitting down, Liang Yuyao asked about his situation and learned that he had come to Anzhou to study and prepare for the autumn imperial examination the following year.

He asked Liang Yuyao if everything was fine at home.

Liang Yuyao smiled bitterly and briefly explained the current situation. She only said that she had a bad relationship with Mrs. Liang, had a conflict with her father, and moved out of home.

Bai Jiantang was shocked: If her grandmother knew her situation, she would definitely be heartbroken.

When he came, his grandmother asked him to find out about his cousin's situation.

But after he arrived, he was so busy with several exams that he had no time to look for Liang Yuyao.

"What are we going to do there in the future?" Bai Jiantang asked.

"What else can we do? Let's just take it one day at a time!" Liang Yu said with a smile, without a trace of worry or panic.

Bai Jiantang said, "Why don't I write a letter home and ask you to go live with your grandmother. She's very idle every day, so you can keep her company!"

Liang Yuyao said, "Cousin, I am now working as an accountant in a shop. I can support myself and will visit my grandmother when I have the chance. Tell her not to worry about me."

Before Bai Jiantang could say something else, Liang Yuyao had already started asking other questions.

There were several people in the teahouse drinking tea and chatting.

"Malacca, do you really not want to take the imperial examination? You have passed the imperial examination this year, it would be a pity to give up!" asked a classmate.

Malacca shook his head and said with a smile: "I am not a scholar. It is a great honor for me to pass the examination. How can I dare to hope to pass the imperial examination? I should give up now and give the opportunity to those who are truly talented."

"It's such a pity. Are you going to make a living by copying books from now on?"

Malacca said: "All roads lead to Rome. Besides copying books, I have other ways to make a living. I won't starve to death for the time being..."

Seeing that Malacca had no regrets at all, his former classmates stopped trying to persuade him.

Malacca looked up and saw a familiar figure.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Miss Liang.

The young man who sat with her drinking tea was very elegant, and the two of them were talking and laughing.

For some reason, he felt sour.

When he talked to Shitou, he deliberately avoided mentioning Liang Yuyao.

Although he had already let go of Liang Yuyao in his heart, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable every time he saw the look in Shitou's eyes.

The young man in white poured her tea, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

The classmate saw Malacca was distracted and looked over.

"Hey, isn't that Bai Jiantang from Xuanhua Prefecture? He has just come to the academy and has a beautiful handwriting... Who is that girl?" The classmate pointed and asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her. The girl is pretty, and the two of them are a good match..."

"I seem to have seen that girl somewhere before. She looks very familiar..."

"You guys chat, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Malacca left the teahouse uneasily.

He returned to the textile workshop and was always unhappy.

Shitou teased him: "Haixia, what's wrong? You went to get the manuscript and met with your classmates, why did you become so quiet? Are you thinking about taking the imperial examination again..."

"No, don't bother me!" Haixia turned over and covered his head with the quilt.

Shitou didn't let him off and continued to joke with him.

Ma Haixia was feeling restless, so he got up from the bed, put on his shoes and was about to go out, but he accidentally stepped on a stone.

Shitou yelled, feeling more distressed than if Haixia had stepped on him, and said angrily: "Those are the shoes that Miss Liang made for me, and you stepped on them and broke them..."

Ma Haixia turned around and said unhappily, "Miss Liang, Miss Liang, don't think about it. Miss Liang already has a lover. I met him in a teahouse today. He is handsome and is studying in the Qiuxian Academy. Don't let your imagination run wild..."

Stone's heart was broken into pieces...
