Chapter 181 No more involvement
If the first wife had no more children and no heirs, then the power would naturally fall to the second wife. But a year and a half ago, something unexpected happened. My father brought back the beautiful third wife from outside and doted on her day and night.
Chen was afraid and worried about what would happen if the Third Aunt got pregnant, so she came up with a cruel trick and put medicine in the bird's nest and gave it to the Third Aunt. "
Leng Xue turned around and looked at Ye Yunzi. Sometimes the eldest lady and her young master really looked alike.
"I had someone intercept the bird's nest midway, and sent the one without the drug to Third Aunt, while the one with the drug was given to Father."
A cold light flashed in Ye Yunzi's eyes. "Third Aunt is cautious, so she naturally wouldn't eat that bowl of bird's nest. I guess she must have poured it out. But I saw my father drink the bowl with my own eyes."
"Miss, you mean..." Leng Xue was secretly shocked and her eyes widened even more.
"How can a man who is infertile make a woman pregnant?"
Ye Yunzi downplayed it, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
In a battle between the two, no one wanted to lose, and she just lent a hand. Since her father didn't care about her and her mother at all, and even wanted to kill her mother with his own hands, there was no need for her to show mercy.
Once this news leaks out, he will feel more pain than death, and this matter will always be a knot in his heart.
The carriage sped away and soon disappeared.
Ye Mansion.
Qiu'er returned to the room trembling, and sat on the wooden chair for a long time without recovering. With shaking hands, she tried to pour a cup of tea, but ended up spilling it all.
"The eldest lady is right. If I do as she says, I will definitely become Aunt Qiu." Qiu'er raised her eyes, and the confusion in her eyes was no longer so evident.
The master would not marry another woman if he could not have children. When she was promoted to Concubine Qiu, she would be the only mistress of the backyard.
As for the Third Aunt... Humph, we don't even know whose child the Third Aunt is carrying. The Master will never let go of such a fickle woman.
The more Qiu'er thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible. It didn't matter even if she couldn't have children, as she could still enjoy wealth and glory.
The third concubine of Wenmayuan doesn't know about these things yet.
She laughed heartily, "That bitch from Zijin Courtyard is finally out of the way. Ziru, we will have the final say in the backyard of the Ye Mansion from now on. Su is gone, and I am the only concubine who gave birth to a child for the eldest wife. Chongde will definitely make me his wife."
The third aunt fantasized about a bright future and became more and more excited.
On the contrary, Ye Ziru's face has not been very good. She secretly stroked her belly. She has been in a bad mood since she came back from the Shen Mansion.
There are so many beautiful women in the Shen Mansion, and even a maid is pregnant. Now the Second Master Shen doesn't like her. If she marries into the Shen Mansion as a concubine, what hope will she have in the future?
Ye Ziru felt deeply resentful and felt that her life was more and more miserable. She was originally very happy to marry Mr. Shen, but in the end, she was poured a bucket of cold water. At the same time, she resented Ye Yunzi even more, hating her for deliberately setting up a trap and pushing her into the fire pit.
She clenched her fists tightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Zi Ru."
The Third Aunt knew what Ye Ziru was worried about, and gently patted the back of her hand, "When mother is promoted to the position of Madam, you will be the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. How dare the Shen family not marry you? Humph, even if they don't want to, they will have to use a sedan chair to welcome you home."
When Ye Ziru heard what the Third Aunt said, her eyes lit up and she looked at her in a daze.
"Mother, I don't want to be a concubine. I must become the wife of the Shen family. Only in this way can I get rid of all these bitches."
"rest assured."
The next day, the Su family issued an announcement to the entire capital city. The news was spread everywhere in the streets, teahouses and restaurants: the master and the eldest lady of the Ye family had divorced.
"Divorce? What's going on? The Ye family actually agreed to the divorce."
Even now, the Su family is still famous and wealthy. Grandpa Su is a great contributor. As long as Grandpa Su is still around, the ministers in the court have to give the Su family some face. What is the Ye family up to? They are actually going to divorce the first lady?
As soon as this matter spread, the topic of conversation among people after dinner became the divorce of the Ye family.
The old lady of the Ye Mansion learned about this matter very late. The servants secretly kept it from her. It was not until the news spread more and more widely and the servants in the mansion were discussing it privately that the old lady got wind of it.
"Asshole, why are you getting divorced?" The old lady was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
The nanny quickly calmed the old lady down and patted her on the back, "Old lady, this... this is not the master's idea. Everyone in Zijin Court moved out two days ago, and the eldest lady is determined to divorce."
"what?"
The old lady was surprised. She didn't expect that Su, who had always been quiet, wanted to divorce.
"How have we in the Ye Mansion treated her unfairly? We haven't even taken a concubine in more than ten years. What is she dissatisfied with? She actually wants a divorce. No, call Su over here quickly..."
"Where's Chongde? Where's my son?"
The old lady was angry. Without the support of the Su family, what would happen to the future of their Ye family?
The Ye family had relied on the Su family for financial support for the past ten years. When Su married, she brought 20 boxes of dowry, including gold, silver, jewelry, corals and agates, which were dazzling. Su would secretly subsidize the daily expenses of the Ye family from the account, silently bearing it all.
Now that Su is gone, the Ye family is suddenly in deficit. Where can they get so much money?
Ye Chongde was so angry that his head was about to explode and his face turned pale. The servants stood far away and dared not approach him for fear of bringing bad luck upon themselves.
He paced back and forth in the room, and finally, out of anger, he swept everything on the table to the floor, smashing the teapot and teacups to pieces.
"Su Mansion."
"They are really my good wife and daughter, but in the end, they turned around and gave me a hard blow."
"Divorce? Divorce, huh."
He was so angry that his face was distorted and he gnashed his teeth. He wished he could rush to the Su Mansion and strangle Su to death. If he had known earlier, he should have gotten rid of Su earlier.
"Master..." the servant reminded in a low voice that the Su family had already announced the divorce, and their Ye family should also make a statement.
Ye Chongde's eyes went dark, his blood rushed up, he staggered back a few steps and sat down on a chair.
"master."
"..." Ye Chongde closed his eyes and waved his hands. After a long time, he forced himself to say word by word: "Announce to the whole city that the Ye Mansion and the Su Mansion will no longer have any connection with each other."
"Master." At this time, Qiu'er came in from outside, stood softly beside the master, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Master, drink some tea and calm down. The Ye Mansion still needs you to support it."
I don’t know if Qiu’er’s words had any effect, but he picked up the teacup and drank all the cold tea in one breath.
"Su Mansion, Su Clan...Okay, okay, I will never let this matter go. I will make them regret it."
