At one moment, Ms. Dong really wanted to die, because in her mind, death was the only right thing to do. Such thoughts from the heart required courage. But when she finally figured out how to live on,
I feel that people need to be stronger to live than to die.
After she slapped Zhang Ning, she had no choice but to forget it, but she had to face the rest by herself. Mrs. Dong clearly understood that the Yu family was her only destination. She still had her own son in the capital, no matter what.
If you think about yourself, you also have to think about Yu Mian's reputation; and her husband is also a well-known figure in Shilin. If her affair is exposed, it will be difficult to survive... It will be more difficult than a prostitute. Although a prostitute is
Being despised by others, and even famous ones, can be tolerated by people; but who in the world can tolerate the immorality of a scholar's wife?
Mrs. Dong finally made up her mind to face her husband, at least once. After getting permission, she easily met Yu Qian.
Yu Qian had been doing nothing in the small yard for many days. The indifference of the first few days had faded a lot, and his subtle behavior revealed his inner anxiety. He didn't show any surprise when he saw Mr. Dong. In fact,
If he really wanted a woman, he would have been told by the head guard that the two girls serving him in the yard could have sex with him at will. Zhang Ning really had no intention of treating him badly in life.
When he saw Mr. Dong walking down the corridor with a forlorn look on her face, and no one else around her, he immediately asked: "Madam has not returned to Changde, has she mentioned this matter to Zhang Pingan?"
Ms. Dong bent her knees slightly, nodded and said, "I said it, but he didn't agree. We'll talk about it later."
Yu Qian's expression changed and he immediately said: "He can't do anything to me. He must be trying to get ideas from you. You...it's been a few days and you haven't confessed to him? I remember when I was discussing business with Yangde at home,
You heard it several times!"
When Mrs. Dong heard this, her heart tightened. What should come will eventually come. She knew that she could not deceive her husband at this time. As long as he was still alive, sooner or later she would know that Zhang Ning had learned about the official affairs. Mrs. Dong lowered her head and bit her
She pursed her lips, waiting to muster up the courage to admit it.
Yu Qian looked at her as if he had realized something. He clenched his fists and shouted coldly: "You confessed everything!"
Dong was speechless and looked at the ground and nodded.
There was something more serious in her mind. Not only did she confess but she also lost her innocence. She was already prepared to ask Yi Qian: Why did you confess? She planned to say that she was threatened with torture... As for that matter, she was not willing to be beaten to death.
Admitted.
She was very panicked. She had been married into the Yu family since she was a teenager, and her husband had always been a god. She had almost never lied to someone who was too modest, especially for bigger things. She was very scared to lie to her face this time.
.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qian sighed and stopped asking at all, as if he didn't care.
At this time, Mrs. Dong had an indescribable feeling. She was afraid of lying, but when it came time to say it, she felt very lost. With the courage she had never had before, she raised her head and looked directly at her husband, and proactively said: "Their men are threatening
I want to be tortured...not only that, but they also say they want to stain my innocence! What can I do?"
"You... have a woman's opinion!" Yu Qian's eyes widened with anger, "You don't know the basics! I'll divorce you!"
Mrs. Dong had mixed feelings in her heart. As soon as tears came out, she broke down. She didn't know where she got the courage and cried, "Please divorce me and write a letter of divorce now."
Yu Qian paced back and forth on the ground, as if he didn't really intend to do this. He just said, "You are so stupid. Why did you come to Chenzhou by yourself in the first place? It is your own fault! Since you have made a mistake, you should bear the responsibility to make up for it. wrong."
Dong choked up and said: "How to save it? Is it to commit suicide in advance?"
"I've already told you." Yu Qian said coldly, "You don't understand the multiple consequences this matter will bring. Is that Zhang Ping'an an ordinary person? If he understands our strategy, Wuyang Marquis alone He is simply not qualified to deal with him!"
"But the government knows that you have been arrested. Couldn't they have thought of the leaked military plane and made countermeasures?"
Yu Qian flicked his sleeves and turned his head: "I can't tell you clearly."
Mrs. Dong whimpered and cried bitterly, "Well, I will go and die now to satisfy you."
"What's the use now? You don't have to mess around with me to your death." Yu Qian said, "You go away, let Zhang Ning take you back to Changde, and then take a letter to ask your father or brother to go to Yangzhou to see Duke Yang. Don't worry about it from now on, just take good care of Mian'er." Tears flowed from Dong's eyes, and he just said in a daze: "I am a useless person, I died to satisfy you."
"Alas!" Yu Qian shook his head, "After all, he comes from a scholarly family, but it's not enough to be embarrassed when he cries?"
Mrs. Dong saw a side room next to her, with a curtain hanging in front of the pavilion, so she walked in by herself, then pulled down the curtain and tore it out to make a white silk ribbon for hanging. Yu Qian turned his head and looked at it silently for a while in astonishment, then turned around angrily and left. .Perhaps he didn't think that Mrs. Dong really wanted to commit suicide, after all, it was not necessary for her; it was also possible that Yu Qian was just so angry that he didn't want to care about her.
"Husband!" Mrs. Dong suddenly stopped him. Yu Qian stopped but did not look back. She then asked: "I have been married to you for many years, and now you are reluctant to even say a word of condolence? As long as you say a word , I will stop making trouble and I will not die." After hearing this, Yu Qian walked away along the corridor under the eaves without saying a word.
Mrs. Dong, who was tearing up the curtains and tying the ropes in the room, fell to the ground and burst into tears. She was so sad... Yu Qian really understood her weak character. She really had no intention of dying. If it had been a time before, she would have Once you make up your mind, you have the courage to do it; but once you change your mind, it is difficult to make another decision. She is indeed not the kind of person who does things regardless of the consequences because of temporary anger. She has a different personality.
She cried until her eyes were swollen. She was ashamed, sad and extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, she somehow thought of Zhang Ning again. His tender care after doing bad things was very different from what she was experiencing now. Thinking of this, Ms. Dong felt better. She felt that she couldn't help her husband, and she was so treated by him. She could feel less tortured by guilt. Slowly she got up and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Thinking about it, she really should have hated Zhang Ning, and then she shouldn't have slapped him to calm him down. She should have kept her hatred in her heart. But for a while, Mrs. Dong couldn't hate her anymore... Comparing Zhang Ping'an with her husband, she was originally He was an insignificant person; but because of the physical contact, she could never forget that person, and suddenly it seemed that he had become an important person.
While she was sad, various emotions of being exposed to that shameful thing appeared inexplicably in her heart. All the feelings were too strong and lingering. She felt that something was still in her body. Her heart was in a mess.
