Chapter 70 Divorce (2)
After hearing this, the eldest aunt turned around and said in a tone that did not allow for negotiation: "Sister-in-law, please come up and sit down. Xiangyue should also sit down. We have to make arrangements today on how to deal with the divorce."
At this moment, a long female voice suddenly sounded: "Oh, did I hear it right? Whose wife are you divorcing? Some people really don't treat themselves as outsiders. It's not enough to make trouble in their own house, they also have to make trouble in other people's houses!" It turned out that the second aunt who came a few steps slower had also arrived in the main room.
The eldest aunt naturally did not show weakness. She brought out the biggest concern of the second uncle and second aunt and mercilessly retorted: "Someone else's house? Not to mention that this is not someone else, it is my mother's family; let's just say that this is a side branch that has been separated from the family for a long time. When did it become possible for them to comment on the affairs of the main branch?"
"I'm not like some people who always stretch their hands so long! I came here because I heard that Cheng came to our house again and yelled something like 'something big happened!' Out of concern for my sister-in-law, I was willing to leave my two-month-old kitten and come here to see if I can help! This is completely different from some people who always try to take over the show!" They are old rivals, and Second Aunt is best at using softness to overcome hardness, so she explained it to Mrs. Xie by the way.
"Yes, yes, we are all family, so please don't speak in such a distant way. Thank you for your concern, second aunt. You came at the right time, just in time." Mrs. Xie was still the peacemaker.
"Well, it saves the trouble of notifying the whole family." The eldest aunt lowered her eyes, turned around and said to Mrs. Xie, "Sister-in-law, I think we should also inform Qu'er's uncle and my cousins about the divorce. Ask them to send someone. We need to make this matter more formal, so as not to be caught and have our claims counted."
"Tsk tsk, you are really determined to kill her! I would like to ask, how did such a kind-hearted child like Huanhuan offend you? Why do you have to divorce her?" Second Aunt always speaks with thorns.
But the eldest aunt was not in the mood to fight with her now, she had more important things to do. She just snorted and said, "I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing this for the Xu family! This bitch must be divorced!"
The second uncle couldn't stand it anymore and said, "For the Xu family's sake, we have to explain it clearly. Huan Huan just came in, so 'childless' doesn't count. Apart from 'childless', which of the seven grounds for divorce did she violate?"
The eldest aunt said angrily: "Although it is not among the seven reasons for divorce, it is even worse than them."
The second uncle said seriously: "Since it is so serious, we must explain it clearly."
The eldest aunt snorted and said, "I can't even tell you, why don't you go ask her."
The second uncle walked up to Huanhuan who was kneeling, and said in a gentle tone: "Xuanhuan, good boy, tell me what's going on."
Listening slowly to his second uncle's concerned tone and thinking about the trouble he had brought to the Xu family, he felt extremely embarrassed. The word "I" got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter another word.
"It's okay, take it easy, don't be afraid. Your mother-in-law is a sensible person and will not allow others to make trouble here. What do you think, sister-in-law?" Second Aunt also came closer, not forgetting to win over Madam Xie.
Mrs. Xie sat in the main seat and spoke to her aunt hesitantly, saying, "Well... Sister, it's not easy for Qu'er to get married. Do you think we can discuss the divorce again?"
The eldest aunt smiled at Madam Xie with great understanding, and she said in a very emotional tone: "Sister-in-law, I also know that you have put a lot of effort into Qu'er's marriage before, so it is understandable that you find it a bit hard to let go. But you definitely can't have this daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with Qu'er's future marriage, and I won't let you bear it alone."
"Humph, that's easy enough to say. How can you help? When you're gone in a few days, you'll leave a mess behind. Won't we have to clean it up?" said the second uncle coldly.
The eldest aunt seemed to be holding back great anger as she closed her eyes. She took a long breath and opened them again. She took the opportunity to glare at the second uncle and said, "Why would I need to inform you whether I'm leaving or not! If you want a niece-in-law who will visit Yihong Pavilion tonight, go and ask for her yourself. Our Xu family won't tolerate such a young lady!"
"Ah? This..." Uncle and Auntie obviously never thought that this would happen! They were so shocked that they stood there in a daze, unable to say anything.
After listening to these words slowly and looking at the reactions of his uncle and aunt, he felt a surge of self-blame and guilt, which made his already dizzy head swell and ache.
Then the eldest aunt deliberately ignored the second uncle and the second aunt, and looked at Madam Xie intently, saying in a calm but unquestionable tone: "After divorcing her, our Qu'er will not be lonely. Far away in the horizon and close at hand, Bihua has always been the most suitable candidate."
Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, but Second Aunt couldn't help but interrupt, "If Xie Jin could get married, she would have married a long time ago. She would have married into a high-ranking royal palace long ago. Why are you still talking about this?"
The eldest aunt didn't even bother to glance at the second aunt, and continued, "When Bihua comes out of the palace, she and Qu'er will renew their relationship. This marriage will be a perfect match, a perfect match that will add icing on the cake."
The second uncle and second aunt heard this plan that made them speechless. They looked at each other silently, feeling puzzled. It seemed that Xie Jin had been involved for a long time? And they had to leave the palace? What was going on here?
Mrs. Xie naturally knew that her aunt had this plan. She looked at her helplessly, her eyes showing her disapproval of what she said. But she had already said what she should have said. Her aunt insisted on doing it her own way, and she had no choice.
Xiangyue was also speechless. Although she did not agree with her aunt, she could not speak for her because of her sister-in-law's matter. So she sat aside looking very confused.
Huanhuan could only blame herself for being too careless last night. When she heard that her aunt intended to divorce her last time at the Shen Mansion, everyone around her opposed it. But now, no one would speak for her. It seemed that she was really going to be divorced. The reputation loss brought to the Xu family after being divorced was resolved, and she didn't want to go back to her parents' home to cause trouble for her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law. Where would she stay in this big world in the future?
The second uncle was the first to recover. He said, "It's up to Qu'er to divorce my wife. I asked him to take care of an urgent matter. I sent someone to chase him back before he came. Let's wait until he arrives."
It was rare for the eldest aunt to "share the same hatred and enemy" with the second uncle, and her tone of voice towards the second uncle was also much softer: "What is there to wait for? Would you tolerate your wife dressing up as a man and strolling around the Qin Building at night? For such a matter, how can a child make the decision? It is us, the elders, who have to step in!"
But the second uncle was not on the same page as the eldest aunt. He said, "Before, you advocated that Qu'er was over 20 years old and had already started a family, so you should let him participate in the family business. You also said that he was thoughtful and had a good eye for talent, so he was capable of accomplishing things, and you supported him to let go and manage the workshops. Now you say so again. Isn't it contradictory? I think we should wait until Qu'er comes before we talk about it."
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt showed displeasure, rolled her eyes at the second uncle, and said angrily: "I gave you a chance but you didn't want it. Seeing how timid you are, it seems that I have to rely on myself for this matter!"
Huanhuan looked ashen, and felt disappointed. He didn't know what Xu Qu's attitude was. But he could guess a little: Which man could tolerate such a thing? Or should I say, which normal person could tolerate such a thing? Even if he was soft-hearted and endured it, the rumors outside and the pressure from the clan would force him to divorce his wife, right?
"Here he comes, the young master is back!" Suddenly Cheng's voice came from outside the door.
Then Xu Qu almost broke through the door and walked in with the wind. When he saw Huan Huan kneeling in the middle of the hall, the elders gathered around him, and Xiang Yue with a sad face, he understood immediately.
He bowed with both hands and asked the host, "Can you please let Madam stand up and speak?"
The aunt, who was already angry, became even more furious after hearing this. She waved her arm and pointed at the seat next to Xiangyue and shouted, "Go sit down!" The arrogance in her words was obvious to everyone, so Xu Qu had no choice but to sit down in the seat next to Xiangyue.
Then, the eldest aunt said, "Since our main people are all here, the divorce is settled. I will write a letter to my cousins today and send it out urgently. Xu Si will go and gather the other clan members. My sister-in-law will also inform her second aunt. The divorce will be formally completed in three days."
