The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again
Chapter 69: Taking shelter from the limelight
Sang Wan trotted all the way home, his face pale.
She ran to Sang's mother's room and immediately started packing her clothes.
"Mom, let's pack up and go back to the countryside."
Seeing her hurried away, Sang's mother became anxious: "What's wrong, Wan'er? Did something happen to your brother again?"
"Mother, Tianshengtang was raided by the government. Doctor Cheng and Madam Cheng ran away, and everyone else was arrested."
Sang Wan packed the few clothes and valuables in the house into a bundle and carried it on her shoulders:
"I've hired a car, mother, and we're leaving now."
"What about your brother? He hasn't come back yet."
"It's all right. He'll come back on his own. I left a message for the porter to meet us in the country as soon as he gets back."
Sang Wan was helping her walk out when Liu Yumei stormed in, "Where are you going?"
"Sister-in-law, something happened at Tianshengtang. Let's go back to the countryside to avoid the limelight."
Liu Yumei glared at him and pointed at Sang Wan's head:
"I told you that there's not a single good person in that shop. You damned girl, you're going to bring trouble upon our entire family! Murdering the Duke's son is a heinous crime punishable by death."
She turned to Sang's mother and said angrily:
"Mom, this is her fault. It has nothing to do with us. If you want to leave, you go. We won't leave."
Mother Sang was helpless. She knew about the Tianxuan Sect, but she couldn't tell Liu Yumei. She could only be patient and speak softly:
"Wan'er didn't harm anyone, so how could it be related to her? In the end, it was all because of that bad woman Cheng who dragged Wan'er into this."
"Mom, Daqing hasn't come back for two days. Could he have been arrested by the government?" Liu Yumei turned pale with fright when she thought of this.
"No, brother will come back on his own. Sister-in-law, hurry up and pack your things."
"Oh, damn it, Sang Wan, you must have implicated your brother. No, you have to go to the county government office with me now and get your brother out."
Liu Yumei pushed Sang's mother away, grabbed her collar and pulled her out.
Sang's mother lost her support and fell to the ground. She watched Sang Wan being dragged away and pounded the ground anxiously:
"Yumei, you must not go to the county government office!"
Sang Wan was furious: "Sister-in-law, I told you that my brother is fine and he wasn't arrested by the county government. Why don't you believe me?"
"You are such a liar. Back then, I asked you to marry into the Hua family as a concubine. Now you are the Hua family's concubine. You can have whatever you want, and we don't have to worry about you.
But you, on the other hand, sold yourself to the Pei Mansion as a maid, and chose to serve the prince instead. Aren't you in the same group as Madam Cheng?"
When Liu Yumei thought of the slap she received at Pei's house, she felt so angry that her teeth itched and she hit him harder.
"Sang Wan, I'm telling you, you have to go today even if you don't want to. I just enjoyed a little bit of happiness, and I can't let it be ruined in your hands."
She walked to the door, then felt uneasy and called the maid over: "Bring a rope, tie up the girl and send her to the authorities."
The maid said timidly, "Madam, why bother? This is your own sister."
Liu Yumei slapped him:
"Ah, bah! Do you have the guts? This is the Sang family, and I'm the mistress! It's not your turn to talk! Hurry up and go!"
The maid was beaten until she cried and had no choice but to go get the rope.
Sang Wan couldn't bear to watch: "Why did you hit her? I'll go with you, okay? Let me be frank, my last name is Sang, and the county magistrate doesn't care if I'm the only one involved. If they arrest the whole Sang family, don't blame me."
Liu Yumei was stunned again when she heard this. This might not be impossible.
Although Sang Wan was picked up, it is a fact that his surname is Sang, and they cannot deny the relationship.
"Oh my, what should I do? You're going to kill me!" She sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.
Sang Wan was overwhelmed. Ever since her sister-in-law married into the family, she had been throwing tantrums and throwing pots and pans, beating chickens and scolding dogs. She and Sang Daqing were truly a perfect match.
"Why are you howling in broad daylight?"
Sang Daqing came in from the door, covered in dust and dirt, his brocade robe in tatters.
As soon as Liu Yumei saw him, she immediately stood up from the ground, tears still streaming down her face. "God damn it, you're back?! You weren't arrested by the government?"
"Pah, pah, pah, can you please be kind to me? Why should I be arrested by the government?!"
Now that Sang Daqing had some money in his pocket, he thought Liu Yumei was vulgar in every way and not as gentle and considerate as the lady from the music hall.
"Did you know something happened at Tianshengtang Pharmacy? The Cheng couple ran away, and the remaining maids and servants were all arrested. I was afraid the county magistrate would come to arrest Sang Wan, and I was wondering if you had been arrested since you hadn't returned in two days. It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva! You're finally back!"
Sang Daqing glanced at Sang Wan and frowned:
“Why were they arrested?”
Before Sang Wan could respond, Liu Yumei started to answer:
"Of course it's to murder the Crown Prince. Oh my god, do you still remember that sickly guy in the Pei Mansion?"
"It's him! The Duke's Mansion is not an ordinary family. The ferocious bearded man next to him last time had a very strong grip." Sang Daqing couldn't help but touch his face.
When he thought of Li Jiu's creepy appearance, he felt for no reason that a slap would hit his face in the next second.
"Won't sending him to the authorities implicate our Sang family?"
Sang Daqing rolled his eyes at Liu Yumei.
He was a little flattering to Sang Wan, saying that this girl was possessed by the God of Gamblers and would be of great use in the future.
"How about this, you go to the countryside tonight and hide for a while, and come back when the storm has subsided?"
Sang Wan thought about it and it was a solution:
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Mom will rely on you to take care of her."
"Of course. With my elder brother here, I'll naturally treat you like an ancestor. Just go back to the countryside and stay for a few days to relax."
Seeing his arrogant words, Sang Wan sneered:
"The ancestor is still lying on the ground."
"What's going on?" Sang Daqing understood immediately when he saw Liu Yumei's guilty look.
He deliberately frowned and said, "What are you standing there for? Go and help Mom back to bed."
Liu Yumei stamped her feet and left reluctantly.
"Hey, Wan'er, your sister-in-law just has a quick temper, but she doesn't mean any harm. Why don't you stay in the countryside for a few days and then come back to play a few games at the gambling house with your brother?"
After days of living a life of debauchery, the money in my pocket has visibly decreased.
"Didn't you swear to me that you would never gamble again?" Sang Wan's face turned cold.
"I didn't, I didn't. What I meant was, when you come back, I will play with you." Sang Daqing smiled with a lick on his face.
Sang Wan refused to argue with him and held out her hand to him:
"Give me some silver."
"What do you want the money for?"
Sang Daqing covered his pocket.
"I need food and drink even when I go to the countryside, but how can I do that without money?"
"Didn't I give you a few dozen taels a few days ago? Where did you spend it? You weren't going to subsidize that poor scholar, were you?"
Sang Wan was so angry that she almost died, her face flushed with shame:
"Nonsense. Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not?"
Sang Daqing wanted to refuse, but when he thought that all the money was earned by Sang Wan, he didn't dare to anger her.
He fumbled around in his purse and pulled out a few taels of silver: "Here, if you use it sparingly, it'll be enough."
Sang Wan clutched the change and went back to his room without saying a word.
When she thought of the fifty-liang silver note and looked at the few pieces of silver in her hand, for a moment, she couldn't tell who her real brother was.

In the elegant room on the second floor of Zuifeng Tower at the city gate, Pei Jinzhi gently fanned himself. Li Jiu came to report, "Miss Sang has left the city."
Pei Jinzhi opened the curtain, looked down, and frowned:
"She's the only one?"
Baili Xi leaned forward and said, "Let me see. Oh! She's really the only one here. Where are her family?"
Li Jiu said, "Sang Daqing has already returned home. I guess they can't let go of the wealth in this town and don't want to go with her."
Pei Jinzhi watched the graceful figure disappear outside the city without saying a word.
I wonder if she has the fifty taels on her?
The road ahead is long, where will she go?
