The sudden change shocked both people in the room, but Aunt Chen ignored it and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son's name had not been left on the wife's release book.
He turned and looked at Gao Ying angrily, "What's your intention? You actually want to trick my son into getting divorced from you?!"
Gao Ying never expected that Mrs. Chen would jump out to object, but she still explained patiently: "Now that my Gao family has been destroyed, I am just a weak girl in the capital who has nothing to rely on and cannot bring anything to the third master.
Any help.
Moreover, my husband does not like me, and my mother-in-law is not satisfied with me. No matter from which point of view, it seems that there is really no need to continue the marriage between me and the third master."
"Stop talking so sweetly," Aunt Chen looked at Gao Ying firmly with her eyes, "Are you trying to save my son's money by proposing a divorce at this time?"
At this point, Aunt Chen seemed to suddenly wake up and said, "Oh, I see, have you hidden your private wealth elsewhere? I didn't know that you people from wealthy families, buying a house is like buying cabbage.
.
Did you buy a house somewhere before and then secretly transferred the money at home? Now you want to coax my son to divorce you, and then you use the money to support the pretty boy?
Now that you see that my son no longer has an official position and is no longer an adult, do you think of abandoning my son?"
Gao Ying never thought that this letter of separation would lead to Mrs. Chen's speculation. She couldn't help but feel angry and funny. She immediately said: "I have kept an account of how much money I have at home, and I follow your instructions every day."
To reconcile with you, how much dowry your Chen family sent to my family back then, I didn’t spend a penny on, and it’s still there. This house was bought by my natal family for us, and now I’ve kept it all, so what money do I have left?”
"What you said can't help me!" Aunt Chen immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily, "I asked you why you suddenly said that you sold all the dowry to your parents. It turns out that this is a deception!
Knowing that our Sanlang could not become an official and had no income now, he secretly shipped the dowry out and said it was given to your parents. How could there be such a stupid person in the world, just using all his wealth to squander it?
?
Zhao'er is hiding here! My feelings are waiting for my son to know that you have no money, and then make peace with you, so that you can easily leave us, mother and son, to enjoy your happiness.
Oh, no, maybe you have already raised a pretty boy outside, and you are planning to bully my son!"
The more Aunt Chen talked, the more she felt that she was justified, and she immediately continued: "Don't think that because I am a country woman, I don't know the methods of you city people! I tell you..."
"Mom!" Chen Liu finally spoke. The voice was not loud, but it was enough to shut up Mrs. Chen.
Aunt Chen immediately turned to her son, "Sanlang, I'm telling you, don't be fooled by this..."
Halfway through her words, when she came into contact with her son's eyes that were faintly filled with coldness, she did not dare to continue talking.
Although Gao Ying is considered to be more outgoing in her boudoir, she rarely falls behind when arguing with those noble ladies.
But at this time, facing Mrs. Chen's unfounded speculations and accusations, she felt deeply powerless, and at the same time, it also strengthened her determination to divorce.
She no longer looked at Aunt Chen, but turned to Chen Liu, "Do you think so too?"
Chen Liu said nothing, but it could be seen from his expression that he had not speculated in this way.
After getting this answer, Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed to him in a very polite manner, "In that case, Third Master, please sign it! You can also see that I... am really not suitable for this family.
It was all my fault before. I wasted such a period of time on the third master. Fortunately, there is no bond between you and me. I think it will not have any impact on the third master's future marriage.
As for the official status of the third master, I can only say sorry. I went to Prince Chen's Mansion today and had a few words with the princess. It turned out that I had read the poems written by the third master before, and I was quite arrogant. I thought if the third master could follow suit,
Your Majesty, a trip to the army will be beneficial to your future achievements and your current state of mind.
If this move has caused trouble to the third master, I can only say sorry again. From this, it can be seen that I do have many shortcomings and I am really unworthy of being the wife of the Chen family. Please ask the third master to sign!"
The more she said this, the more Chen Sanniang felt that there was something wrong with Li Shu, "You are not crazy, how could you reconcile with my son like this? Do you have any conspiracy? I advise you to tell it as soon as possible..."
However, before she finished speaking, she saw her son writing on the piece of paper.
Aunt Chen was immediately shocked and said repeatedly: "Sanlang, why are you so confused?! This woman used tricks to get you to marry her. She must have other tricks this time!"
However, Chen Liu had already handed the piece of paper out. Aunt Chen wanted to reach out to stop her, but was forced back by her son's eyes.
Gao Ying seemed to be relieved, and solemnly took the piece of paper, and then solemnly saluted him, "Then please allow me to stay one more night. I will go to the government to register tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left Chen Liu's study.
Aunt Chen watched her leave in a daze, her eyes anxious and angry. She turned to look at her son again and said anxiously: "Why are you so anxious? I know you don't like her, and you are eager to separate from her, but this...
…”
"Mom!" Chen Liu's voice was slightly deeper, and there was already a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Aunt Chen shut up immediately and just looked at her son nervously.
After a while, Chen Liucai said: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early!"
Whenever her son said such words, Mrs. Chen knew that she could no longer stay, so she could only leave reluctantly.
Chen Liu didn't really rest, he just stared blankly at the page on the desk, where the wife's release letter was placed.
After a while, he sighed softly, then shook his head with a chuckle, picked up the small scissors on the side and cut the wick shorter, and then continued to read the unfinished book.
In the other room, Gao Ying and her maid were quietly packing.
The maid never expected that the girl would go to her uncle's study and come back with a wife's letter. Seeing the girl's busy figure, she hesitated several times and finally couldn't help but said: "Girl...I
not understand!"
"What don't you understand?" Gao Ying turned to her and smiled.
"You...don't you like my uncle very much? How come you suddenly...have to separate from your uncle?"
Gao Ying's hand paused for a moment, with an incomprehensible look in her eyes. After a while, she smiled and said, "I just suddenly figured out something."
"What's the point?"
"I like him, but I should like myself more."
The maid looked at her with a confused expression, but Gao Ying did not explain anything.
After a while, the maid asked again: "So, does the girl no longer like my uncle now?"
This time Gao Ying didn't even pause. He just packed up the baggage in his hand and stuffed it into the maid's hand, "Okay, don't talk so much. There are still many things to be busy with tomorrow, and you will also
Pack your things!"
"Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Leave tomorrow!"
Gao Ying's decisiveness calmed down the maid's somewhat confused mind. She had followed the girl since she was a child. As long as the girl made a decision, she would just obey. The girl would never lie to her.
It's just that neither the master nor the servant expected that even leaving the Chen family cleansed would not be an easy thing to do.
