My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

Song Tian said emphatically, "He found that bitch again and even threatened that if she disappeared, he would run away from home with her."

Since finding Xu Yi'an, Wang Yuanzhi has stayed by her side for many days, fearing that the Wang family would attack him again. He returned to the mansion this time because he was out of money and was collecting his belongings.

When news of Wang Yuanzhi's return to the mansion reached the inner courtyard, Old Madam Wang hurriedly sent someone to summon him, hoping to persuade him to return to the right path.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Yuanzhi saw Song Tian at the old lady's place, he started shouting that he wanted a divorce.

“I didn’t want to marry her in the first place, but you all insisted that I marry her. Now that we’re tied together, neither of us is happy. It’s better to get a divorce as soon as possible.”

Song Tian had little expectation of Wang Yuanzhi anymore. She was also very proud, and hearing him say that only fueled her anger. "Let's get a divorce then. It's better than living like widows here."

Despite the objections from Madam Yin, the two were willing; one wrote a letter of divorce on the spot, and the other signed it immediately.

Madam Wang originally looked down on Song Tian's background. After she married into the family, she was disrespectful to her elders, did not care for her children and nephews, could not advise Wang Yuanzhi, and did not know etiquette. Madam Wang had long had a problem with her. When she saw the two of them arguing, she stopped them. Anyway, with the status of the Wang family, they could marry whoever they wanted.

She stopped Madam Yin from trying to reconcile them, and watched as the two signed the papers.

Madam Yin initially arranged for Song Tian to marry Wang Yuanzhi in order to cover up his scandalous affair. However, now that Wang Yuanzhi's matter has become public knowledge, some well-informed families already know about it. She is also dissatisfied with Song Tian, ​​feeling that Song Tian failed to win over Wang Yuanzhi.

Therefore, Song Tian took the divorce papers, arranged for her dowry to be packed, rented several carriages, and returned to her parents' home with her dowry.

Mrs. Ma asked anxiously, "But you can't get a divorce! What will you do after you get a divorce?"

Song Tian retorted, "Why can't I get a divorce? Didn't my second brother get a divorce?"

"Are you like your second brother? He's a man, and you're a woman!"

"I won't compare myself to my second brother, I'll compare myself to my second sister-in-law... no, I mean, I'll compare myself to Madam Meng, okay?"

Meng Ruohua still married someone even better than before!

If she could marry into a noble family, there's no reason why Song Tian couldn't. At the very least, she could lower her standards and marry a scion of a prestigious family with official rank, so she wouldn't have to live a life of widowhood.

She hasn't consummated her marriage with Wang Yuanzhi since they got married!

Ma was so angry that she felt dizzy and stumbled back two steps. Fortunately, Jixiang caught her in time.

But with the immediate problem unresolved, she couldn't faint even if she wanted to. She could only muster her strength and say weakly, "Can you compare to the Meng family? They have a father who is a third-rank general, while your father is only a fifth-rank idle official, and now he's been suspended!"

Song Chang, standing to the side, was not having it and emphasized, "The reason I was suspended is all because of you two!"

Song Tian glanced at Song Chang with disapproval. It wasn't her fault; it was her second brother's.

However, if these words were spoken aloud, the mother would certainly object, and the arguing would go on and on.

"Anyway, Wang Yuanzhi and I have already divorced, and I've brought my dowry back."

There's no chance of getting back together!

Song Tian looked determined. After speaking, she wanted to leave Rongxi Courtyard to avoid Madam Ma nagging her.

Song Chang, who had been mostly silent, asked, "When you wanted a divorce, did the Wang family elders know?"

"I don't know. Apart from Wang Yuanzhi, everyone in Madam Wang's courtyard is a woman."

Song Chang sighed, "You guys are being too frivolous."

Since the elders of the Song family were not present, Song Tian returned to the mansion with her dowry. Those who knew the situation would say it was a divorce, but those who didn't would definitely think she had been divorced by the Wang family.

Madam Ma also thought of this and hurriedly turned to Song Chang to ask, "Oh dear, what should we do? If rumors spread that she has been divorced, what will happen to Tian'er in the future?"

Song Chang looked at Madam Ma with disdain, thinking to himself: You also know that a woman's reputation is of utmost importance, yet you used to curse Madam Meng every day and smear her reputation.

Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Ma frowned anxiously, "What are you thinking about? Tell me!"

Song Chang snorted impatiently, "As long as you don't spread rumors, the Wang family certainly won't spread false information."

Even a family that has been established for hundreds of years still has these rules.

Song Tian didn't care about any of that. She was innocent, so how could she let rumors ruin her life?

"Father, you must stand up for me! You can't let Wang Yuanzhi off so easily!"

Song Chang said angrily, "You've already taken the divorce papers and brought back the dowry. How am I supposed to make decisions for you? In the first place, you and your daughter insisted on getting married no matter what I did. Now that things have turned out like this, you know you need me to make decisions for you?"

Madam Ma said unhappily, "Isn't it because you found such bad marriages for Tian'er? They're either from low-class families or have no connections. Are you going to make our daughter suffer after marrying into such families?"

"Those are all talented, and they will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Ma scoffed, "Without a powerful backer, what can one achieve? Even if you're sent to a post outside the capital for one or two decades, you might not be able to return!"

Song Chang was too lazy to talk to her about this, so he snorted and turned away, ignoring her.

Song Tian certainly didn't want to marry those poor scholars; she only liked dashing and debonair young noblemen.

Now that she is a free woman, she has no worries about not being able to marry into a good family.

The capital city has nothing in abundance except for high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy families!

Although Song Chang was very angry about Song Tian's actions, he still felt sorry for the child. The next day, he met with Wang Huajiu for a detailed talk, hoping that Wang Yuanzhi could reconcile with Song Tian.

Wang Huajiu was an extremely shrewd person. He had always known that although Song Chang had not accomplished much, he was a sincere person. He could not bear to bully him too much, so he only vaguely mentioned what Wang Yuanzhi had done.

Song Chang sighed deeply and had no choice but to give up.

Inside the house, Madam Ma sighed and worried until Madam Hu sent someone to inquire and find out the truth.

"Madam heard that the Third Miss brought a lot of things back to the manor and would like to ask the Second Madam what happened. If you have nothing else to say, please go and talk to Madam in person."

The head maidservant beside Madam Hu had a clear and crisp voice, and conveyed Madam Hu's meaning in just a few words.

How could she let the maids relay such a message? Even though Madam Ma was unwilling, she still took Song Tian to the main room.

After hearing Song Tian's words, Hu's brows remained furrowed.

If Song Tian were to divorce and return home, it would definitely affect the marriage prospects of the young ladies in the manor.

But since the person has already returned, we can't send them back for the sake of the family's reputation.

Hearing Madam Ma and Song Tian angrily condemning Wang Yuanzhi and the Wang family's sins, Madam Hu was too lazy to say anything more.

"Alright, now that you're back, just stay home."

After some time, she can just marry anyone. There are still several unmarried young ladies and gentlemen in the manor; we can't let Song Tian delay their marriages.

She looked at Madam Ma again. She had only thought that her sister-in-law was short-sighted, but she never expected that after not seeing her for a few years, she would raise both of her children to be like this.

Song Chen'an wanted to gain merit by following the emperor's lead, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong side.

Song Tian wanted to marry into a wealthy family, but her methods were not very clever and her mind was not well thought out. In the end, she foolishly agreed to a divorce.

Do you really think everyone can remarry into a high-ranking family like Meng Ruohua? She has Meng Xin's solid military achievements to back her up.

What does Song Tian have? A father who has been suspended from his job, and a brother who has been stripped of his title and dismissed from his post!

You're really out of your mind!
