Chapter 123 You must agree! If you don't, I'll beat you until you agree!
"Really?" Zhao Yining clung tightly to the coffin, refusing to let go.
“Really. If you’re worried, I’ll have him write a divorce agreement right now.” Yu Kangping nodded.
"No, I disagree. She's my wife, not my brother's wife. Why should he make decisions for me?" Yu Kangnian couldn't take it anymore and stepped forward, pulling Zhao Yining to his side.
However, he underestimated Zhao Yining's determination. She held on to the coffin tightly and wouldn't let go. He couldn't move it, and Zhao Yining's hands were worn raw and bleeding.
Yu Kangnian's temper flared up immediately, and he subconsciously raised his foot to kick Zhao Yining.
"Want a divorce? No way! Let me tell you, you are my one and only wife in this lifetime!"
Yu Kangjing saw this and quickly went to stop him.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. Let's talk this out."
Zhao Yining was pulled away in time, and Yu Kangnian kicked the old Marquis's coffin.
The coffin shook, showing how powerful his kick was.
Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
The clan elders who had originally wanted to speak up for him and mediate were dumbfounded.
Yu Kangnian suddenly realized that this was a mourning hall, not his bedroom, and he couldn't treat Zhao Yining like this.
"You bastard, you even dared to kick your father's coffin! Kneel down!" Yu Kangping was furious. Without saying a word, he ordered someone to bring a stick and hit him hard on the back.
Yu Kangnian stumbled and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to kick my father's coffin, I just..."
Yu Kangping didn't give him a chance to explain and hit him hard with the stick again.
"Your Majesty!"
Several clan elders also looked at him with stern faces.
"Your Majesty!"
The unified reprimands made Yu Kangnian's knees buckle instantly.
He bit his lip and reluctantly knelt down.
"Third brother, go and get the writing materials. I'll personally supervise him and make him write the divorce papers." Yu Kangping ordered Yu Kangjing around again.
Yu Kangjing nodded quickly.
"Brother, I don't agree to a divorce." Yu Kangnian was so anxious that he tried to stand up.
"You must agree! If you don't agree, I'll beat you until you do!" Yu Kangping struck again with the stick.
He showed no mercy, each blow landing squarely on the skin.
When Aunt Rong learned that her son had been beaten, she rushed over and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"My lord, please spare the second master this time. He didn't mean it. I beg you."
"Make him write the divorce papers and kneel before my father's coffin for forty-nine days, then I'll forgive him. Otherwise, he can forget about ever becoming an official in the court again," Yu Kangping sneered.
"To kick one's father's coffin is an outrageous act!"
Upon hearing this, both Aunt Rong and Yu Kangnian broke out in a cold sweat.
"Nian'er, just write this divorce decree," Aunt Rong urged, crying.
Yu Kangnian was not giving up and looked at Zhao Yining, who was being helped by a maid.
"Are you really so heartless as to abandon Lie'er and Xi'er?"
Zhao Yi clenched her fists tightly; she couldn't bear to part with her child.
But she knew that if they didn't divorce today, Yu Kangnian would definitely beat her to death in the future.
"I didn't abandon them, I just don't want you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yu Kangnian's expression changed drastically.
Several clan elders knew that there was no way to turn things around, and they all advised Yu Kangnian to write the divorce papers.
Under the pressure from his elders, Yu Kangnian reluctantly wrote the divorce papers.
After both parties signed and sealed the document, and then the elders in the family also signed, the matter was more than half done.
Zhao Yining was overjoyed to receive the divorce papers.
She looked at Yu Kangjing: "Third brother, could you please deliver a copy to the government office?"
After handing over the divorce papers to the authorities, they had no further connection with each other.
“Okay.” Yu Kangjing readily agreed.
Yu Kangnian was so angry he vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do.
"I'm sorry, elders, I've made you laugh." Zhao Yining bowed to them, and then bowed to Yu Kangping.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Marquis. I will never forget this kindness and gratitude."
"Alright, since you're no longer a member of my household, pack your bags and leave quickly." Yu Kangping waved his hand.
If Zhao Yining is allowed to stay, the second son might cause more trouble.
"But..." The maid Zhezhi wanted to speak up for her mistress. Her mistress's injuries hadn't even healed yet, and they were already kicking people out. Was that reasonable?
Zhao Yining interrupted her maid and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will leave by tomorrow morning at the latest after I have finished checking my dowry."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Kangnian couldn't help but say, "Zhao Yining, you will definitely regret divorcing me!"
Zhao Yining paused for a moment, then walked away without saying a word or turning her head.
Back at the third house, Shen Jinzhu saw the divorce papers in her hand and couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
"Yes! I've already asked Zhezhi to take inventory of the warehouse. We'll move it out once the inventory is done." Zhao Yining smiled.
"What are you planning to do next? Your injuries haven't healed yet, where can you go?" Shen Jinzhu frowned.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and leave the capital after we've recovered from our injuries," Zhao Yining said hesitantly.
Shen Jinzhu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come and stay at my place for now? Last time my second brother came to the capital, he bought a small three-courtyard house. He said that when he brings the children to the capital in the future, they will have a place to stay. They won't have to stay at the Marquis's mansion. It's just sitting empty now, so you can stay there."
"This won't do!" Zhao Yining's tears streamed down her face.
They had nothing to do with each other anymore, yet she was still willing to help her like this.
"Third sister-in-law, I can't take advantage of you."
Shen Jinzhu shook her head: "Hey, Second Sister-in-law, no, you're not Second Sister-in-law anymore. You're a year older than me, so I'll just call you Sister Yining for now."
“Okay. From now on, I won’t call you Third Sister-in-law anymore, I’ll just call you Sister Jinzhu.” Zhao Yining nodded with a smile.
“I have my own selfish reasons for letting you stay here. If you stay there, you’ll help bring some life to the house. We each get what we need. After all, a house like this will easily fall apart if no one lives there. I should be thanking you for agreeing to move in.” Shen Jinzhu held her hand.
Zhao Yining could easily tell that she was trying to reassure her.
She nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
As the two were talking, Yu Zixi ran in.
"Mother, don't you want me and my brother anymore?"
His large eyes filled with tears, and he held Zhao Yining's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Zhao Yining felt a pang of sadness seeing his terrified expression.
She hugged him tightly: "Nonsense, how could your mother abandon you and your brother?"
“But Aunt Rong said that you and Father are divorced, and you will no longer be our mother. We will have a new mother.” Yu Zixi pouted, trying hard to control her emotions and not let herself cry.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yining and Shen Jinzhu both frowned.
