Chapter 822: Chapter 824: The City Lord’s Divorce_1 Chapter 822: Chapter 824: The City Lord’s Divorce_1 Bai Ruozhu hurried to her second brother’s room and saw that he was already sitting up in bed.
She rushed over, reproaching him, “Second Brother, why have you gotten up?
You better lie down quickly, be careful not to tear open your wound, and waste my catgut sutures.”
Bai Zepei couldn’t help but smile, but as soon as he did, it pulled at his wound, and he grimaced in pain, not daring to laugh anymore.
“See, just be honest, wait until your wound has healed, and rember, you have internal injuries too, you must take good care of yourself,” Bai Ruozhu said.
But Bai Zepei did not lie down, his expression suddenly beca serious, and he said, “Little Sister, is there any way I can recover more quickly?”
Bai Ruozhu sighed, Jiang Yichun was right; Second Brother was still determined to go to Jiangnan.
“During the rescue, I used a very precious pill that is very potent.
You shouldn’t take any other dicine.
You will recover quickly, but you must not be impatient,” Bai Ruozhu sighed and said.
“Thank you and Yichun for this ti,” Second Brother suddenly said.
Bai Ruozhu looked at her second brother in surprise.
She rembered that for a good while, her second brother wouldn’t ntion Jiang Yichun’s na or Chang Sheng and wouldn’t greet him.
Him calling him “Yichun” like this was the first ti.
Bai Zepei probably felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, “I am going to rest; you should also go back to your room and rest well.
Don’t exhaust yourself.”
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly helped him lie down, as more sleep would be beneficial for his wounds to heal.
…
Inside the ng Residence, Wang Miaoshuang angrily smashed two teacups and grabbed the collar of the nanny beside her, demanding, “Didn’t you say that he was shot in the chest and not even a mighty Immortal could save him?
Could it be that Bai Ruozhu has beco a goddess if she’s not an Immortal?”
“Madam, please calm your anger.
The Bai Family has not announced any mourning; the Study Palace rely granted a leave of absence, but that does not guarantee his survival,” the nanny said, wiping her cold sweat.
“Stop giving those excuses.
If he were dying, the Bai Family would already be in disarray.
In the end, it’s your incompetence.
Couldn’t you have asked Zhuifeng to poison the arrowheads?
Good for nothing, what’s the use of a killer being so sanctimonious?” Wang Miaoshuang cursed furiously.
The nanny, frightened, knelt on the ground.
“Madam, please keep your voice down.
Heaven forbid soone overhears.
Now that the second lady manages the household, who knows how many in this yard have already betrayed their master.”
Wang Miaoshuang’s face grew even uglier as she released the nanny’s collar.
It was all Bai Ruozhu’s fault; she was the reason she had co to this.
At that mont, an announcent from a maid arrived, saying that Nanny Lu from the old lady’s side had co.
Wang Miaoshuang’s expression tightened.
Nanny Lu’s arrival surely ant no good news.
Nanny Lu entered the room with an air of respectful submission toward Wang Miaoshuang, stealing only a brief glance at the shards on the ground with the corner of her eye, pretending as if she had seen nothing.
She felt scornful inside.
Was the head lady dragging out the divorce proceedings, unwilling to go with the patriarch, just to spend a few more days in the ng Residence, smashing a few more teacups?
“Head lady, the master has sent to inquire when you will proceed with the divorce?” Nanny Lu asked.
ng Liangshen was surrounded by stewards and servants, and there were no prudent nannies by his side.
It was not appropriate for a steward to discuss matters with Wang Miaoshuang, so he had recently borrowed Nanny Lu from You Ran Residence for the task.
Nanny Lu had watched him grow up, and although she was a servant, she was held in high esteem by ng Liangshen.
“I’ve said I’m not feeling well, can’t ng Liangshen wait a few more days?
Is he so eager to drive a respectable woman to her death?
Even if he has no regard for our over a decade of marriage, shouldn’t he at least acknowledge the hard work I put into bearing and raising his children?” Wang Miaoshuang shouted in anger.
Nanny Lu still stood with her hands at her sides, her deanor unchanged.
She spoke respectfully, “The master said your marital fate has ended.
It would be better for you to go your separate ways soon, lest he must divorce you by the severe clause of ‘The Seven Outs.'”
Wang Miaoshuang slamd her hand on the table and shouted fiercely, “How dare he!
On what grounds can he divorce ?
I am a noble lady…”
She didn’t finish her statent before Nanny Lu interrupted, “The madam has violated the first rule: being disrespectful to one’s parents.
And it’s not just a simple matter of disrespect toward the old madam, but poisoning her.
The seriousness of this offense ans that not only divorce but jail would be fitting.
The master and the old madam, out of consideration for the young master and young mistress, have not sent you to the Governnt Office.
If you really care about the young master and young mistress, it would be best to agree to the separation quickly and retain so dignity for yourself.”
“You old thing, who are you to talk to like this?
Have ng Liangshen co himself, is he afraid of or what?” Wang Miaoshuang suddenly acted nonchalant, grabbing a teacup and hurling it at Nanny Lu.
Nanny Lu couldn’t dodge in ti, and the teacup hit her leg before falling to the ground and shattering.
Fortunately, there was no hot tea in the cup, so Nanny Lu was not badly hurt.
She let out a cold snort and said, “If the madam won’t listen to reason, then so be it.” Having said that, Nanny Lu turned and left, completely ignoring the cursing Wang Miaoshuang behind her.
That very evening, a divorce paper was delivered to Wang Miaoshuang’s yard, brought by a steward who left promptly after dropping it off.
Wang Miaoshuang, furious, tore up the divorce paper into pieces and, with her people, rushed crazily to ng Liangshen’s study room.
“After more than a decade of marriage, you must push to my death?
Won’t you think of the children?” Wang Miaoshuang waited for ng Liangshen and began to question him.
“When you were committing evil, did you think of the children?
Haven’t you thought of accumulating virtue for them?” ng Liangshen countered.
“They forced to it!” Wang Miaoshuang could never see her own faults, “I will take my people back to the Capital, saying the climate here doesn’t suit .
Even if we must separate, at least wait until Jinse is married.
You’re not in such a hurry to welco a new wife, are you?”
ng Liangshen hadn’t even seen the shadow of a new wife, and he shook his head, resigned, “No, whatever you’ve done in the Capital, others will only bla it on the ng Residence.
I can’t bear that risk.
I’m fed up too.
The matter of you drugging my mother can’t just be let go.
Either we separate amicably, or I divorce you.
It’s your choice.”
The two of them had a huge argunt, and in the end, neither made any concessions.
The next day, ng Liangshen went to the registrar’s office to record the divorce, removing Wang Miaoshuang’s na from the ng Family.
He also wrote to the Family elders, asking them to remove Wang Miaoshuang’s na from the Wang Family genealogy, so she was no longer part of the Wang Family.
When Wang Miaoshuang received another divorce paper, she ripped it up furiously, but this ti it changed nothing.
ng Jinse and ng Hanhong went to see her, and the mother and children cried together.
“Mother, you must control your temper when you return to the Capital; you can’t be so wilful anymore,” ng Jinse said as she dried her tears, unable to help but give a word of advice.
Wang Miaoshuang imdiately beca displeased, “How am I not good-tempered?
I am a noble lady, and it’s only right for to show them my displeasure.”
ng Jinse sighed and said no more.
To ng Hanhong, Wang Miaoshuang said, “Hanhong, once I return to the Capital, I will help you find a suitable match among the Capital’s noble ladies.
After you marry, you will take over the authority of the ng Residence.
Make sure to drive out that second brother and his wife and never be deceived by your grandmother, that old vixen.
She talks about keeping a low profile, but she’s the most sinister of them all.”
