Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Bai Qing'er looked at everyone in the Mo family with resentment as she spoke.

It seems Qian Yu'er spoke ill of her family quite a bit back then, which is why Bai Qing'er hates her family so much. She's really something, twisting the truth like that.

However, Mo Lan didn't explain, because there was no need to explain to Bai Qing'er, and even if she did, Bai Qing'er might not believe her. She asked, "Then what about what happened between you and my brother? Was that also something you planned?"

Hearing Mo Lan ask this question, Erlang clenched his fists. Although he had already written a letter of divorce and knew what kind of person Bai Qing'er was, he was still somewhat concerned.

Bai Qing'er glared at Mo Lan, determined to get her to admit it herself. Did Mo Lan have to say it out loud before she was satisfied? It wasn't like she couldn't guess; she just wanted her to admit it herself. She wanted the Mo family to hate her even more; her intentions were truly malicious.

"Just say it. Anyway, things have already turned out this way, so what is she still worried about?" Bai Qing'er said, "After Auntie's matter, I often went to the Mo family's shop in town. Originally, I wanted to see what kind of person Chen Xuan was and to find out more about the Mo family. Who knew that I would run into Erlang later?"

My first encounter with Erlang was by chance, but I made a point of making an impression on him. Afterwards, I would often observe him. If he went to the shop that day, I would go to buy something and use it as an excuse to let him see me. However, I didn't talk to him much, but left him with the impression that I was a very proper woman.

After meeting him several times, I found that Erlang was a very kind-hearted person who would not think badly of others. He never suspected that I had deliberately come to get to know him. On the contrary, he felt sorry for my background and took pity on me.

To be honest, I also think Erlang is good. We developed feelings for each other, and I really fell for him and developed feelings for him.

But you actually arranged for him to meet women from other families. Where does that leave me?

Later, Mo Lan came to see me. Her haughty demeanor annoyed me. It was the first time I had met her, but I loathed her. I disliked her from the bottom of my heart. However, I had truly fallen in love with Erlang, so I suppressed my disgust for the Mo family and agreed to marry into them.

Initially, I didn't intend to do anything to the Mohists. I just wanted to get more things, thinking that one day when I was in charge of the Mohists, you would all act according to my wishes. That's all.

But you went back on your word, having Erlang tell me to find someone else. Isn't that clearly showing you look down on me? How can I tolerate this? What's wrong with me? You won't let me marry into the Mo family, but I'll insist on marrying into it anyway. How can I let you have your way?

Yes, I spread the word that I had found them, which put your minds at ease. Then, I found a moment to discuss it with my father and we sent my brother back to my maternal grandmother's house. I prepared some food and wine and went to find Erlang.

My father and I agreed that if Erlang refused to stay that night, we would stop him just as he was about to leave and say that we, a man and a woman, were entangled in something inappropriate, and make him take responsibility for me.

If Erlang is willing to stay, I will get him drunk and let him spend the night in my room. That way, we will be in the same room, and he won't be able to refuse.

Erlang got drunk and passed out. My father helped him to bed; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to move him. We agreed that my father would come and ambush us the next day, then we'd stage a ruse, and Erlang would surely comply.

As Bai Qing'er finished speaking, Erlang's veins bulged on his forehead. Although he had already guessed it, hearing Bai Qing'er say it herself still humiliated him. He was such a fool to be played like this; it was utterly shameful to be told.

Bai Qing'er looked at the bulging veins on Erlang's forehead and felt a sense of satisfaction. Who told him to divorce her? He didn't care about her feelings for him, so why should she care about his feelings? The more he suffered, the better she felt. Otherwise, why should she be the only one heartbroken?

The Mo family already knew that Erlang was being clung to by Bai Qing'er, so they weren't surprised by her words and remained silent, listening to Bai Qing'er continue.

"Erlang is an honest man and did not suspect anything. He agreed to the marriage, and I was finally at ease. Fearing that things might change, we chose a day to get married."

I've inquired about the Mo family; they're very wealthy. Yet, before the marriage, you didn't send much to my family, and the gifts weren't of high quality. The Mo family is incredibly stingy with me, their eldest daughter-in-law. They're unwilling to give me anything.

The Mo family only cares about Mo Lan; all the good things belong to her. Don't forget, she'll be married off eventually, and all those things will go to someone else's family. At that point, the Mo family's property won't be registered under their name anymore. Even any other daughter-in-law would complain; this is blatant favoritism.”

Bai Qing'er spoke angrily, because although she had already received the letter of divorce, she still felt resentful about the small amount the Mo family had given her.

“Our family affairs are none of your business. We can give them to whomever we want. Why should you worry about it?” Qiu shouted.

Bai Qing'er curled her lip, thinking he didn't appreciate her kindness. However, she didn't refute him, but continued from where she left off, saying, "After marrying into the Mo family, I thought that living on the estate would give us a better share of the property. Erlang is the eldest grandson, so we can't be at a disadvantage. But the very next day, I saw Mo Lan taking two boxes out of the wet nurse's room."

At the time, I thought Grandma had given it to her without my permission, which is why I had this idea. I thought that even if I took it, she would have no recourse. After all, Grandma had given it to her secretly, and I thought she wouldn't dare to tell anyone. Even if she did, I had already planned to say that she was the one who gave it to me.

I intended to take that jade hairpin back to my parents' home for my brother, to be passed down as a family heirloom. I truly never imagined that the hairpin originally belonged to her; I was wrong to plan it that way.”

Bai Qing'er's eyes were filled with regret as she spoke. She hated herself for not understanding the situation at the time and for being too impulsive. She wished she had waited until she had figured things out before acting.

Erlang's eyes dimmed. Guessing and hearing her say it herself were two different things. She explained everything clearly, which only proved how foolish he had been.

"Afterwards, Erlang ignored me and went back to the academy. I wanted to talk to my aunt, but we couldn't agree on anything. I ended up helping my aunt, but instead of being grateful, you beat and punished me. How can I not hate you!"

I thought to myself, once I'm in charge of the Mo family, I'll definitely deal with Mo Lan properly. I'll definitely not give her a dowry, and ideally, after she takes all her husband's family's things back to her parents' home, I won't allow her to go back to her parents' home again.

My mother-in-law treats me badly. When the time comes, I'll make her do chores every day. You won't let the Mo family divorce their wives and take concubines, but when I'm in charge, I'll take a concubine for my father-in-law. Let's see if my mother-in-law still won't allow it! If she doesn't allow it, I won't let her live a good life.

Of course, these were just thoughts in my mind, and I no longer had the chance to realize them. What I least expected was that Erlang wasn't on my side. I thought he had feelings for me and would listen to me like Dalang listens to his sister-in-law, but who knew that he only had the Mo family in his heart.

But I was too impatient and used the wrong method. I originally wanted to force my mother-in-law and grandmother to agree to my request that Erlang not divorce his wife or take a concubine, but Molan saw through my plan and dragged my aunt into it.

Here's the thing: I didn't marry into the Mo family to avenge my aunt. I genuinely fell in love with Erlang and also took a liking to the Mo family. I wanted to live a good life, but because of my aunt's situation, I disliked the Mo family, which is why I couldn't hide my emotions.

Mo Lan, now you know what happened. I didn't harm the Mo family. On the contrary, I, a virgin, was married into the Mo family but was divorced. I'm the one who suffered.

I hope you won't bring up my father and brothers. Besides, if Erlang wants to divorce me, I won't stay with the Mo family anymore. However, everything the Mo family gave me must be mine, and the shops and houses in town must be transferred to my name. That way, we'll be even. How about it?"

After Bai Qing'er finished speaking, she looked at Mo Lan, knowing she couldn't leave out anything.

Mo Lan looked at her and said softly, "Don't even think about it! If you were a good person, I wouldn't mind giving you more, but with you like this, I won't give you anything. The shops and houses in town are all under my brother's name. You haven't lived in them yet, so they're reserved for my new sister-in-law."

"You!" Bai Qing'er bit her lip, she was very angry, but she didn't dare to argue with Mo Lan now, for fear of implicating her father and brothers.

"Go back to your room and pack your things. If they're not yours, you'd better not take them. I'll send a car to take you back to the Bai family later. I don't care what you say when you get back, but you'd better not say anything bad about the Mo family, or I really can't guarantee anything."

And this letter of divorce, my brother will write two more copies, and you'll put your fingerprints on all three copies later. My brother will then go to the clan head to sign them. You take one copy, leave one at the Mo family, and one will be sent to the county government for stamping. Leaving it at the county government will prove you're no longer a member of the Mo family.

If necessary, the Mohists will publish the contents of the letter of divorce, so you'd better not try anything funny in the future. We won't say anything more; you'd better take care of yourself.

After Mo Lan finished speaking, she glanced at Er Lang, who nodded and then wrote another copy.

Looking at the two divorce papers on the table, Bai Qing'er trembled with anger. The Mo family wanted to keep an extra one because they were afraid she would speak ill of them and seek revenge later.

She didn't want to put her fingerprint on it, since divorce papers don't usually require the woman to put her fingerprint on them. But the Mo family was afraid she would cause trouble in the future, so they insisted that she put her fingerprint on it. With this proof, she wouldn't be able to say anything recklessly.

If he doesn't comply with the Mohists' demands, they won't let him off the hook. Erlang is determined to divorce him. When the time comes, even if the Mohists knock him unconscious, they can still use his own fingers to leave a fingerprint.

Bai Qing'er hardened her heart and pressed her fingerprint firmly. Since she couldn't defeat the Mo family anyway, she would just keep quiet and not sue them. Once her finger was pressed down, she would have nothing more to do with the Mo family; she hadn't gained anything. It was all her own impatience that had led to this situation.

If she's divorced like this, how will she ever marry well? Bai Qing'er was filled with regret. But there was nothing she could do.

Bai Qing'er went back to her room to pack her things, looking miserable. Mo Changhe accompanied Erlang to find the clan chief. The divorce papers needed the clan chief's signature, and the one from the yamen needed the official seal. It wasn't something Erlang could just sign off on with a single divorce paper.
