Chapter 1416: Chapter 1416: Assault and Jail Ti (2)
“I won’t.” Dong Xun kept holding onto Dong Wenxiu without letting go. “If you leave, I’ll leave too.”
People say he’s childish, and at this mont, Dong Xun really resembled a child, sowhat willful.
Dong Wenming also knew that this ti he had truly offended his sister and niece severely. He scolded Dong Yushi harshly and then promised that such an incident would never happen again.
Yang Ruxin was actually sowhat disappointed with this uncle, a typical case of negative emotional intelligence. It’s no wonder that for so many years, the Dong Family’s business had only maintained the status quo. Although there was developnt, it was very slow. She also guessed why the Dong Family had lost the Imperial rchant status during Dong Wenming’s tenure.
However, due to Dong Xun’s obstinacy, the matter of moving out just fizzled out.
Dong Wenming was once again disappointed with Dong Yushi. They had already separated, and now he was even less likely to return to her. Afterwards, he always slept in the front courtyard.
Dong Yushi felt her days becoming even more difficult.
Zui Family saw her master in a constant state of low spirits and felt sad too. She could only try to offer comfort from ti to ti: “Madam, that cousin of yours ca to help you recuperate and bear a son. If you worsen your relationship with her now, there’s no benefit to it…”
Dong Yushi touched her belly. She regretted it too, but she just couldn’t hold back at that mont.
“Madam, forgive this servant for saying sothing unpleasant. If the master takes a concubine, even those teenage girls would be willing. But what about you, madam?” Zui Family sighed, “All these years, how the master has treated you, you should understand. Besides, how many days could that young miss stay here? Even if you just play along for a while, it’ll pass. Why…”
Dong Yushi simply broke into loud sobs. She understood everything; if Dong Wenming really took a concubine, how could she compare with those young and beautiful demons? If the other woman also gave birth to a son, her position as the chief wife would be in peril. But why couldn’t she hold back? Now, how could she have the face to ask Ruxin to help her with her health?
Zui Family could only sigh along with her.
Yang Ruxin was indifferent to Dong Yushi’s situation. From the start, she was lukewarm toward this aunt by marriage and only cared because of her uncle. Now that her aunt wanted to turn hostile, there was no need for Yang Ruxin to wrong herself. As long as her aunt didn’t interfere with her, her role was done. Whether or not she helped Dong Wenming bear children was not her concern.
Dong Wenming didn’t quite know how to face Yang Ruxin, but fortunately, there was news regarding that Qiu Lei matter she had asked him to look into a few days ago.
He had a reason to et Yang Ruxin.
“That Qiu Lei was imprisoned for assault.” Dong Wenming always felt uncomfortable facing Yang Ruxin.
“Assault?” Yang Ruxin frowned. “Who did he hit?”
“The eldest young master of the Zhao Family.” Dong Wenming glanced at Yang Ruxin. “The reason I heard was that Qiu Lei harassed a maid of the Zhao Family. The Zhao eldest scolded him, and then that kid hit and split the Zhao eldest’s eye corner… The dical expenses for the Zhao eldest cost five taels of silver, and he also demanded compensation. The Qiu Family couldn’t pay, so they had to sell their tea garden. But at that ti, no one was willing to buy it, and in the end, it had to be handed over to the Zhao Family… But even then, Qiu Lei was sentenced to three years in prison…”
“Three years in prison? That’s a harsh sentence.” Yang Ruxin smacked her lips. “Thank you, Uncle.” It seed she needed to find an opportunity to visit Qiu Lei in prison; after all, only he knew the real situation.
