Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

Su Ze was having dinner with his parents at home. When he heard Xiao Lan was looking for him, he hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks and left.

Father Su sighed as he looked at Su Ze's back and couldn't help but say, "You told me to leave him alone, but look at him, he looks a bit like a county magistrate. He ran out without even eating when that woman yelled!"

Ding Qiaoyun carefully skimmed off the oil and poured him a bowl of clear soup. "Drink some soup. It contains herbs that replenish qi and blood."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Father Su said, "Yingqiu turned around and left. Should we go back with her? It's always unsafe for a girl to go home alone."

"It's not safe, so why not let her go?" Ding Qiaoyun picked up some vegetables and put them into Su's father's bowl, and put a piece of pork elbow he had picked up into her own bowl.

"I'll only eat one piece..." Father Su was dissatisfied, but he didn't take the meat back.

"Yeah, I think so too. Don't leave. I'll go tell her tonight that we should spend the New Year in South City and go back in the spring."

"Would her uncle's family be willing?"

"It's okay. Ask her to send a letter back." Ding Qiaoyun said it lightly. Father Su thought it was feasible and agreed.

After dinner, Father Su and Ding Qiaoyun went to find Pan Yingqiu. She had rarely gone out these days, using the excuse of feeling unwell.

But Ding Qiaoyun brought the porridge herself, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to open the door.

"Uncle, aunt, thank you for bringing it here in person." Pan Yingqiu bowed gracefully and spoke in a soft and weak voice.

Ding Qiaoyun could tell Pan Yingqiu was just pretending. Her complexion didn't look ill, and even without lipstick, her lips looked slightly pale. But Ding Qiaoyun knew it was simply due to her inherent lack of energy and blood, resulting in a pale lip color. Women, to look their best, would eat very little daily, maintaining a slim figure. The girls of the capital were all like this now, relying on lipstick to enhance their complexion.

"Oh, why are you so weak? You look so bad!" Father Su hurried into the house, not forgetting to close the door. "Why is it so dim with only one light in the room?"

"Get ready for bed." Pan Yingqiu said perfunctorily.

Ding Qiaoyun placed the porridge on the table. "I heard you haven't eaten all day, so I brought you some. Since you're sick, you should eat more. How can you get better when you're so thin?"

Father Su quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, eat something!"

Pan Yingqiu agreed, picked up the porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and took a mouthful every few minutes.

"Yingqiu, although my son is unlucky and can't marry a good girl like you, you are my niece after all, and I don't want you to leave with such a sorrow. Why don't you spend the New Year here and go back with us after the New Year?" Ding Qiaoyun sat next to Pan Yingqiu and said softly.

Pan Yingqiu didn't raise his head, but said calmly, "When I came out, my uncle told me to go back for the New Year."

"Oh, I'll write a letter to your uncle. He won't make things difficult for you. Don't worry!" Father Su vowed. He just felt that Pan Yingqiu was really pitiful. How could Su Ze look down on such a good girl?

Ding Qiaoyun glanced back at Su's father. "Yes, your aunt wrote to me personally. The New Year is approaching, and the robbers outside are also celebrating the New Year. They are taking advantage of the fact that people return home with a lot of valuables, hoping to make a fortune! If anything happens to them... how will I explain to your mother?"

Hearing this, Father Su felt even more strongly that he couldn't let Pan Yingqiu go. "Oh, it's all my fault for not being well, otherwise I would have personally sent you back. Please don't leave. Your aunt and I are so worried!"

Pan Yingqiu finally put down her bowl and said, "Uncle and aunt, Master Cui's carriage and escort team have been found, it's okay. Besides, my cousin is now the county magistrate and is busy with all kinds of things, so I can't continue to be an eyesore here. You all know how my cousin treats me." As she spoke, her eyes were red, full of tenderness and grievance, and she only looked at Father Su.

Father Su was so distressed that he wanted to break Su Ze's legs and throw her in front of her to admit his mistake. This was the girl he had raised as his own daughter for several years.

Ding Qiaoyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the empty tears from Pan Yingqiu's eyes. "Master, please go back first. I'll have a few private words with Yingqiu."

Father Su sighed softly and stood up with the help of the chair armrest. "Oh, okay, let's comfort her."

After Su's father left, Ding Qiaoyun closed the door and turned around to look at Pan Yingqiu.

"Yingqiu, I know what you want to do when you go back. I only have this one son, and I won't let you ruin his future." Ding Qiaoyun's voice was cold and emotionless.

When she passed by Su Ze's study that day, she heard what Pan Yingqiu said to Su Ze. She felt that Pan Yingqiu was so easy to talk to suddenly, and it was impossible for her to just leave like that.

"What are you talking about, aunt? I just want to go back and spend the New Year with my uncle." Pan Yingqiu looked up with indifference, and there was no respect when he looked at Ding Qiaoyun.

"You want to go back to the capital and ruin his reputation!" Ding Qiaoyun said angrily.

"Do I need to ruin my cousin's reputation? Everyone in Nancheng knows that he ignores his fiancée from the capital and flirts with that widow who has brought bad luck to her husband and father." As Pan Yingqiu said this, she wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief to hide the contemptuous smile on her face.

"That's the woman he loves, so he can disregard ethics and morals and sacrifice everything for her." Ding Qiaoyun argued with a frown. Pan Yingqiu's words were like sharp thorns, which hurt her heart.

"Oh, that's a nice thing to say. I never thought that a lady of such wealth like my aunt would be so protective of her shortcomings, completely disregarding propriety and morality."

Pan Yingqiu stood up and approached Ding Qiaoyun. "Ever since I came to your house, I've fallen in love with my brother. For so many years, I've been like a maid, trying to make you happy. Do you think I'm willing to cook for you every day? Or chat with my uncle about those boring topics?"

She was tall, and she looked down at Ding Qiaoyun with resentment in her eyes. "I've given so much for so many years, and you agreed so easily to let your cousin marry a widow?"

Ding Qiaoyun didn't expect Pan Yingqiu to say that. She knew that this girl was not a simple person, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious.

"I brought you to the capital so you could live a good life...How could you be so ungrateful?"

"I'm grateful? What am I grateful for? When I came out, everyone around me thought I was here to get engaged. And now? I'm a joke when I go back, and I'm still grateful?"

"You..." Ding Qiaoyun was so angry with her that she pointed at her with trembling fingers and couldn't speak.

"What about me? You can't do anything to me, or you can kill me?" Pan Yingqiu walked to the door and opened it. "My uncle's heart disease has just improved, and he still has to take medicine every day. If he knew that my well-behaved niece was harboring such thoughts, I wonder if he would be so angry and angry. Will he be so lucky this time?"

"Are you crazy? Your uncle loves you the most..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Since you know what I want to do when I get back, why not give you two choices?" Pan Yingqiu stood by the door and turned to look at Ding Qiaoyun. Her back was to the moonlight, casting her long, narrow figure in the room.

"Are you threatening me?" Ding Qiaoyun narrowed her eyes and clenched her teeth.

Pan Yingqiu wasn't afraid of her at all. "Either ask my cousin to marry me and let me be the county magistrate's wife. Given my cousin's personality, even if he doesn't like me, he won't make things difficult for me. We can live our own lives..." At this point, she curled the corners of her mouth, and the smile looked ferocious on her beautiful face. "Or wait until I get back and spread the good news about my cousin throughout the capital, so that everyone can see what kind of court officials the Su family has! I'll be a poor girl, and people will naturally pity me..."
