Chapter 9: Divorced and then remarried
"Young General, I repeat, I will not be a concubine. If you want to be with my elder sister forever, then divorce me. As for how I will live after the divorce, the General's Mansion and the young general don't have to worry about it."
Xu Miao sat there with no expression on his face, not even a word of defense. Any more explanation would be a waste of words.
Seeing Xu Miao like this, Zhang Chengyi stood up angrily: "You ungrateful thing, just wait for your divorce."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left. All the masters in the Zhang Mansion were of the same character.
A few days after Zhang Chengyi left, Madam Zhang and Zhang Ruyi came to Xu Miao's yard with a large group of maids and servants.
Chun'er was young and was so frightened by the scene that she burst into tears: "Second Miss, what are they going to do? Are they going to kill someone?"
Madam Zhang sat on a chair, looking at Xu Miao, who was wearing a light green dress. She asked, "Do you still want to divorce your wife and not become a concubine? You have to think this through. After you divorce your wife, you will never have the chance to stay in the General's Mansion again. From now on, the General's Mansion has nothing to do with you anymore."
"Madam, I've made up my mind. I don't want to be a concubine." Xu Miao bowed slightly and replied.
"Mother, why are you still wasting your time arguing with this servant? She doesn't know what's good for her now. She will regret it later. Just divorce her quickly." Zhang Ruyi sat next to Madam Zhang, looking at Xu Miao with a smug look on his face.
After divorcing his wife, Xu Mingzhu promised to give her the Shu brocade dress from Jinxiu Pavilion.
Not to mention how rare the Shu brocade material is, the picture of birds welcoming spring embroidered on the skirt took the best embroiderer in Jinxiu Pavilion several months to embroider.
Moreover, there was only one such dress in the capital, and it would take several months for the next one to be made. She would wear this dress to the end-of-year palace banquet, where she would surely outshine all the other beauties.
"Mom, just give her the divorce letter right away. Why are you still wasting time talking to her?"
When Zhang Ruyi thought about the skirt being worn by her, she wanted to sign the divorce papers for Xu Miao.
Mrs. Zhang handed the divorce letter to Xu Miao.
Xu Miao took it and looked down. He was jealous and disrespectful to his elders. Moreover, the divorce letter was already signed by Zhang Chengyi.
What a bunch of heartless villains. Xu Miao cursed inwardly.
Jealousy means she is jealous of her elder sister, and disrespectful to elders means she did not follow the arrangements of the Zhang family to become a concubine.
The reason the Zhang family gave her for divorcing her was truly cruel. Divorcing her on the pretext of jealousy and disrespect. The Zhang family was clearly trying to prevent Xu Miao from remarrying.
Xu Miao walked to the table, picked up a pen, and readily signed her name on the divorce letter. From then on, she had no further connection with the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Zhang always thought that Xu Miao was controlling the Zhang family, but she didn't expect Xu Miao to sign the divorce letter so readily.
Forget it, just give up. You ungrateful slave.
"After signing the divorce, you can leave the General's Mansion. Since you have made some contributions to the General's Mansion, you can take your dowry and the two shops I gave you as compensation."
"What you do after leaving the mansion depends on your own ability. You can't use the General's Mansion as an excuse to tarnish the reputation of the Zhang Mansion."
Xu Miao: "Madam, don't worry. I will never mention the General's Mansion after I leave the house. I also want to thank you for letting me take my dowry and shop with me."
As long as you let me take the money, I will divorce you.
Xu Miao's dowry was not much, most of which she exchanged for banknotes, and the two shops also became Xu Miao's private property.
It was a good deal for Xu Miao to go from being a completely poor peasant to being in the bourgeoisie after getting married.
Xu Miao brought Chun'er with him, each carrying a small package. They slowly walked out of the Zhang Mansion under the watchful eyes of the servants.
"Second Miss, why do I feel like we are in such a bad mood? We haven't done anything bad and we shouldn't feel guilty. But why do I always feel like we have done something bad?" Chun'er didn't even dare to raise her head while walking.
She wanted to run out as soon as possible. Why was the general's mansion so big? She hadn't seen the main gate for a long time.
"Silly Chun'er, you still want the general's mansion to beat drums and gongs to send us out. It's best to let us go on our own. If two more women come to hold you captive, you will cry."
Xu Miao didn't care what expressions the servants in the general's mansion gave them. After leaving the mansion, who would know who?
After leaving the general's mansion, Xu Miao saw his half-brother driving a carriage parked there.
"Second sister, you finally came out. This general's mansion is really slow. They said they wanted to divorce my wife, but why didn't they move faster? I've been waiting here for several days."
When his half-brother Xu Xiaoman saw Xu Miao coming out of Zhang's house, he hurried over and took the packages from Xu Miao and Chun'er.
Seeing Xu Xiaoman coming to pick her up, Chun'er suddenly came alive. With a grin on her face, she started yelling, "Brother Xiaoman, how could you be at the gate of the General's Mansion? Are you here to pick up the Second Miss?"
Xu Xiaoman and Xu Miao all grew up in the backyard and have been familiar with Chun'er and the others since childhood. They don't call them "young lady" or "young master" in private.
As Xu Xiaoman helped Xu Miao and Chun'er onto the carriage, he replied, "I've been waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion for several days. I was worried that no one would pick you up when you got out, and you wouldn't know where to go."
"Brother Xiaoman, where are we going?" Chun'er really didn't know what to do after they came out of the general's mansion.
"Let's go to the new house that your father bought for you. It's not far from the Xu Mansion, just two streets away. I have packed it up in advance, so you can move in when you get there." Xu Xiaoman drove the carriage and left the general's mansion in a moment.
Xu Miao was not unprepared for his divorce.
Just half a month ago, Xu Miao received a message from her father Xu Jingyi, saying that he wanted to meet Xu Miao.
When Xu Miao went out of the house and met Mr. Xu, she found out that her father had been involved with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion again.
After Xu Jingyi left court that day, he was invited to a teahouse by Duke Dingguo Zhou Chenli. Duke Dingguo didn't say much to Xu Jingyi during their meeting.
"I heard that General Zhang's family wants to divorce your daughter who was brought here for good luck?" Duke Dingguo asked Xu Jingyi with a smile.
"To reply to the Duke, this... I don't know yet." Xu Jingyi looked at Duke Dingguo with a confused look on his face.
A married woman is like spilled water, let alone a concubine's daughter. Xu Jingyi never paid much attention to her.
Besides, General Zhang had smiled and said he would speak well of him to the emperor and promote him two days ago. Why would he want to divorce his wife?
That damn girl must have offended the master in the general's mansion.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingyi hurriedly stood up and said, "Sir, it must be my unworthy daughter who has offended you. Wait for me to pass on the message and ask her to confess her crime. You can't divorce her."
Seeing that Xu Jingyi really didn't know the news, Zhou Chenli waved his hand hastily, blocking Xu Jingyi's words: "Divorce is fine, who said you can't divorce? Your daughter has left the general's mansion, so you should take good care of her. Don't agree to anyone else's request and wait for my son to get married."
Xu Jingyi felt as if a huge pie had hit him on the head.
This is the Duke's Mansion, a noble man that he would never be able to marry in his lifetime even in his dreams.
