Chapter 361 Xie Wanning was scolded into a daze
Everyone ate breakfast together in the morning, and the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
We had only eaten half of the meal when a maid rushed in and knelt down in front of the hall to report.
"Young Master, Young Madam, the Old Madam requests your immediate attention at the main courtyard. The Third Miss returned last night and is currently weeping in the main house. Things have escalated!"
Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli exchanged a glance.
Actually, Qin Jiuwei wasn't too surprised.
She had known about the Li family's dirty secrets for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before Xie Wanning discovered and exposed them.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
They got married less than half a month ago.
Qin Jiuwei put down her chopsticks and said softly to the children, "You all eat here quietly. Your father and I will go to the main courtyard to take a look."
“Mother, let’s go together,” Xie Jingchun said.
Xie Wanning has always been unreasonable and extremely willful and capricious.
Who knows what she might do next.
If she tries to clash with her mother, he'll punch her in the face.
Nobody can get close!
Xie Jue also looked up, gazing expectantly at Qin Jiuwei.
He was worried too.
Qin Jiuwei looked at their expressions and chuckled, "It's alright, you two have a good breakfast, we'll be back soon."
Everything else is fine, but it's best not to listen to the Li family's affairs, lest it offend the children's ears.
Xie Yanli also spoke up, walking to Qin Jiuwei's side, "With me here, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, the boys exchanged glances, then nodded in relief.
Main courtyard.
Madam Xie and Lord Xie sat upright in the hall, their faces not looking too good.
They had just listened to Xie Wanning's tearful account, and their feelings were very complicated.
Madam Xie sighed heavily.
She knew from the beginning that Li Yuanheng was not a good match, but she did not expect that the Li family would be so filthy.
Now... what should we do?
Xie Wanning knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably: "Father! Grandmother! You must do justice for me!"
Madam Xie frowned. "Tell me, how do you want us to make a decision for you?"
"I demand that the Li family publicly admit that they are in the wrong!"
Xie Wanning's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was full of grief and indignation.
"Let everyone know how wrong Li Yuanheng is, and how despicable the Lin family is!"
"Also, I want a divorce!"
"Divorce? Do you know what divorce means?" Lord Xie asked in a serious tone.
Xie Wanning shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
"I don't care about anything else! Father, grandmother, I beg you to seek justice for me! This matter cannot be left like this!"
At that moment, a maid hurried in from outside and bowed her head to report.
"Madam, Lord Marquis, the young master and his wife have arrived."
"Let them in."
Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei entered the hall and bowed.
"Yanli, Jiuwei." Lord Xie glanced at them and asked in a deep voice, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Xie Yanli glanced at Xie Wanning indifferently, his face expressionless.
"It's best to leave this matter to Father and Grandmother."
The implication is that they don't want to get involved.
Lord Xie sighed and turned to look at Qin Jiuwei.
“We all know that Third Sister is feeling wronged,” Qin Jiuwei said.
"But the marriage has only lasted for a short time, less than half a month. If we rush into a divorce, it might have a negative impact. It would be better to calm down first, weigh the consequences, think of a solution, and then make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanning's face immediately turned bright red.
"Qin Jiuwei, what do you mean? I want a divorce, but you won't let me! You're just deliberately trying to make me look bad!"
She suddenly stood up from her chair and charged at Qin Jiuwei like an enraged little beast.
Xie Yanli's face instantly turned cold, and he grabbed Xie Wanning's wrist.
"Xie Wanning, that's enough!" His voice was deep and authoritative.
Xie Wanning's hands were firmly restrained, and she could not break free for a moment.
The anger in his eyes turned into resentment.
She's a member of the Xie family, but now even her family isn't on her side!
Qin Jiuwei's tone remained calm: "I have already made myself very clear. We need to handle this calmly."
"I don't want to see anyone make a fool of themselves, nor do I mean to harm you, but you should think carefully about what the consequences will be after the divorce."
Qin Jiuwei had thought this through clearly.
If Xie Wanning divorces and remarries, she can only marry someone of lower social standing.
But given her temperament, forcing her to marry down would only cause her more pain.
If she were allowed to stay in the Marquis's mansion, she would certainly be unwilling and would likely cause even more trouble.
The entire Xie family will never have peace again.
Xie Wanning's eyes turned red with anger at her words.
Finally, she bit her lip, forcefully shook off Xie Yanli's hand, sat back in her chair, and turned her head away in a huff, refusing to speak again.
After listening to Qin Jiuwei's words, Lord Xie slowly spoke up as well.
“Jiuwei is right. Divorce is not such an easy thing. You can argue, but you can’t just get divorced so easily.”
Madam Xie, holding her prayer beads, also nodded gently.
Lady Hou stood aside without saying a word.
She was also struggling with the decision of whether divorce was a good thing or not...
Marriages have always been pretty much the same.
Even she and Lord Xie had long since separated, were no longer close, and had no feelings for each other whatsoever.
Seeing their indifferent attitude, Xie Wanning burst into tears.
"You won't let me get a divorce, is it just because you care about the reputation of the Marquis's mansion? Is that reputation really that important!"
"The Li family's mistreatment of me is a slap in the face to the Xie family, a clear sign that they don't respect the Xie family at all! Don't you even care about that?"
Lord Xie suddenly stood up from his chair, his tone icy and menacing.
"If the Li family doesn't respect us, do you think you do respect the Xie family?"
"When you were secretly exchanging gifts with Li Yuanheng, did you even consider the Xie family's reputation?"
"When you insisted on marrying Li Yuanheng against the wishes of your entire family, did you ever care about our feelings?"
"Your grandmother fell ill because of what you did. Did you care even a little bit? Did you even go to see her?"
"Now that something's happened, you suddenly remember we're your family! You come back asking us to stand up for you! Where do you get the nerve and the guts!"
