Chapter 49 Divorcing His Wife in Public
In the huge city of Shangjing, the most lively family would undoubtedly be the imperial merchant family of Fan. Ever since their new daughter-in-law came into the family, the liveliness has been continuous.
Look, the sun is almost setting, and there are still quite a few people gathered in front of the Fan Mansion, watching the fun.
However, when everyone saw the servants of the Fan family carrying out a stretcher covered with white cloth, they were all shocked.
These people waited here for so long just to see what Yu Qingyuan could come up with, but they didn't expect that what they got was a corpse.
His wife cheated on him, but he didn't throw her into the pig cage, he just divorced her. At first, everyone thought that Master Fan was a kind man, but now they all sighed.
I feel that this is the style of the rich and powerful. Which prominent man can tolerate his wife cheating on him?
Butler Hong was in a hurry to repeat what the young lady had told him before he left. When he was about to tell the people at the door what Yu had done and the causes and consequences of her death, a group of people rushed out from the crowd.
As soon as the old lady in the lead appeared, Fan Ruoxue's face turned pale.
"Mother, why are you..."
Seeing her mother-in-law's unhappy expression, Fan Ruoxue's heart started beating for no reason, and she hurried forward to flatter her, but before she could finish her words, a roll of yellow paper was thrown at her face.
Fan Ruoxue had previously looked down on this rural old woman and had never treated her well. But now that her son had passed the imperial examination and became an official, the old woman straightened her back and repeatedly urged her son to divorce her.
If it were before, Fan Ruoxue would have no fear, because with the support of the Fan family, she could be free and at ease even if she had to divorce and take her dowry with her.
But now her mother has been divorced, and her relationship with her father has become extremely strained due to her own ignorance, and she no longer has her family to support her.
What you fear is bound to come true. When Fan Ruoxue picked up the piece of paper and took a look, the two big words "Divorce" came into her sight.
"Your mother and your sister did such a shameful thing. We, the Wei family, dare not accept a woman like you who was raised by the Yu family."
Fan Ruoxue's mother-in-law, Ma, lost her husband early in life and it was not easy for her to raise several children alone. If it weren't for her eldest son working in Fan's Trading Company and being appreciated and often helped by the head of the Fan family, her family wouldn't have the good life they have today.
Originally, when the head of the Fan family said that he wanted to marry his daughter to his son, Ma thought it was a great honor. However, after the woman came into the family, she looked down on her family and even beat and scolded her son at will.
If she hadn't remembered the kindness of the Fan family, she would have kicked this daughter-in-law out of the house long ago.
Now that her son has become an official, she looks down on this merchant girl even more.
The speed at which gossip spreads is always unimaginable.
As soon as she heard about what happened at the Fan family, Ma rushed over with her men without stopping.
Although Mrs. Yu was brought down, Mrs. Ma went too far. She actually brought people to block the door of someone's house and divorced their daughter. This was such a disgrace to the Fan family that not only the servants of Butler Hong, but even the people who were watching the show looked unhappy.
"Why did you divorce my sister? What did she do wrong?"
Jiang Si was just about to go back to the room to rest when she received a report from the servant. Just as she walked to the door, she heard Yang Yueyue's questioning voice.
Ma snorted coldly and looked at Yang Yueyue sitting in the sedan chair. Every time she saw this girl, she always looked down on her and never looked at her straight in the eye. Now, seeing her slumped in the sedan chair, she felt so relieved.
"She disrespects her mother-in-law and beats and scolds her husband. How can I not divorce her? Moreover, her mother and sister have done such dirty things. Our Wei family dare not want such a daughter-in-law."
Disrespecting mother-in-law? Beating and scolding husband?
The crowd watching were always gossipy, and many of them recognized that this was the mother of the top scholar. When they heard Fan Ruoxue beat and scolded her husband, they were also indignant on her behalf.
Some people in the crowd even shouted "Good rest".
Fan Ruoxue stood there in a daze holding the divorce letter, her pretty face turned pale.
What's all this about?
She just went back to her parents' home, and her mother was gone, her sister became a half-sister, and now her husband's family wanted to divorce her. Why? Why did all this happen?
"Madam came to our house today and divorced her son's wife in front of everyone. This humiliated our Fan family. We will remember this act of repaying kindness with enmity."
Although Jiang Si disliked Yu's mother and daughter, she hated being slapped in the face even more.
When Ma heard this, her face became a little embarrassed. She was too angry just now and came to the door in a rage.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by repaying kindness with hatred? Our family has received a lot of help from Master Fan, but if my brother didn't have the ability, he wouldn't have been interested in our family. If it wasn't for repaying a favor, how could my eldest brother marry this shrew?"
As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen standing next to Ma immediately refuted her. This girl was Ma's youngest daughter Wei Jiao.
"Besides, Fan Ruoxue has been married to our family for three years, but she has disrespected my mother and often beats and scolds my eldest brother. No matter how great the kindness is, it has been repaid."
"Your Fan family can divorce wives in public, but our family can't?"
Ma originally felt a little guilty, but after hearing her daughter's rebuttal, she suddenly felt more confident. Now her son has become an official, a scholar, farmer, merchant, or even an imperial merchant. Fan Ruoxue is not worthy of her son.
"I did act inappropriately today, but our family absolutely dares not accept Fan Ruoxue."
"Heh~" Jiang Si took a few steps forward, looked at the mother and daughter opposite, sneered and asked: "If our family can do it, then other families can do it too. Then do you know why our Fan family divorced his wife in public?"
"What Yu did has spread all over the capital. Who doesn't know about it?" Wei Jiao looked at the corpse covered with white cloth with disdain.
"So, you got evidence that Fan Ruoxue cheated on you? Did she also poison your eldest brother's first wife and your eldest brother's son? This is a capital crime, so it's not too much for your Wei family to come to your house and divorce her in public."
Jiang Si's implication was very clear. The Fan family had their reasons for divorcing his wife in public, but the Wei family's act of coming to the door to beat her was just too much.
"Why? Your Fan family's daughter is more noble than others. You can divorce other people's daughters, but we can't?" Ma saw that the young woman opposite was getting more and more biased, so she quickly changed the subject. "What do you, a little girl, know about this kind of thing? Call the elders of the Fan family out."
"I am the head of the Fan family now, and when did I ever say that you can't divorce Fan Ruoxue in public?"
Hearing Jiang Si's words, Ma was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to give the young woman a way out. She couldn't let the elders of the Fan family come out to argue with her. After all, this was a private matter between the two families. She would just invite herself into the house to negotiate. Who knew that this girl would not play by the rules.
However, Ma didn't think too much about it. Since she agreed to divorce Fan Ruoxue, it was enough as long as the goal was achieved. Anyway, she said she could make the decision. If something went wrong, there would be someone to take the blame, right?
