[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 177: Divorce? Or divorce?

Xiu Zhang walked up to Zhang, bowed, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Zhang, I'm sorry."

As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped Zhang's face hard, "In front of our Madam, there are strict rules, and no one else is allowed to interrupt!"

Zhang was stunned. By the time she reacted and wanted to fight back, Xiu Zhang had already stepped out of the way.

Two maids came forward and one of them pushed Zhang back into the chair, making her unable to move.

The other person covered Zhang's mouth tightly, preventing her from making any sound.

"Rong Enqing, don't go too far!" Old Mrs. Rong glared at Rong Enqing angrily and scolded him harshly.

"Excessive? I don't think so." Rong Enqing said nonchalantly, "Zhang is too noisy, I just asked her to be quiet. If she doesn't interrupt, I won't ask anyone to cover her mouth."

Then he pointed at Xiao Rong and said with a smile: "Look, didn't I ask anyone to cover Rong Yuan's mouth?"

Then, he instructed the remaining two maids, "You should also stand beside the Fourth Madam. If the Fourth Madam wants to interrupt her, you will have to take action."

"Old slave, I obey."

The two maids responded and walked up to Xiao Rong and stood behind her.

This time, Mrs. Rong's face became even uglier.

"How about it? Mother, can you agree to my first condition?"

Rong Enqing leaned back in his chair, looking at Old Mrs. Rong in a leisurely manner.

Old Lady Rong looked at Rong Enqing, then at the restrained Zhang mother and daughter, with a hesitant look.

Rong Enqing reminded: "The fourth house's property belongs to the Yun family, not Rong!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Rong suddenly felt her eyes twitching violently. What did she want to do?

If the Rong family doesn't return the 22,000 taels of silver, could she go to the government to sue her?

Mrs. Rong sighed, but finally nodded, "Okay! Within ten days, the Rong family will sell everything they have and return the money to Rong Yuan."

"Wrong! It's not returned to Rong Yuan, but to Yun Hai!" Rong Enqing corrected.

Old Madam Rong didn't care about Rong Enqing's words and snorted, "Okay! Give it back to Yunhai!"

Rong Enqing smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "The second condition is that the Rong family also asks Rong Yuan to take her back. The Yun family can no longer accommodate Rong Yuan!"

When these words were spoken, the three generations of the Rong family, grandparents and grandchildren, were all stunned.

After a long while, Xiao Rong looked at Rong Enqing in disbelief and asked in a hoarse voice, "What does aunt mean by this?"

As soon as Xiao Rong finished speaking, the maids standing behind her took action, one holding her shoulders and the other covering her mouth, carrying out Rong Enqing's previous order thoroughly.

Old Mrs. Rong couldn't care less about Little Rong anymore. She stared at Rong Enqing, "Rong Enqing, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't it obvious what I mean?" Rong Enqing chuckled, "Divorce? Or divorce? You can choose for yourself!"

"Pa! Bang!" Old Mrs. Rong slapped the coffee table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.

"Do you know what you are saying? Rong Yuan is your niece! She has loved you like her own mother since she was a child! You said you don't want her, so you don't want her anymore?"

Old Madam Rong said angrily, "Rong Yuan has been married to the Marquis' Mansion for six years. She has made contributions but has also worked hard, right? She even gave birth to a granddaughter for you! How can you be so cruel as to not want her?"

It would have been fine if Yunying had not been mentioned, but as soon as Yunying was mentioned, Rong Enqing suddenly became furious.

"If she had been nicer to Yunying and cared more about her, Yunying wouldn't have ended up like this!"

She stood up suddenly and pointed at Xiao Rong and said, "Ask Rong Yuan, does she have any awareness of being a daughter-in-law or a mother?

"We've been married for six years, and she has never changed her way of calling me mother! She has no respect for me at all! She dares to turn her face away from me when she's unhappy! But I still have to coax her! If you don't know, you would think she is the mother-in-law!

"Ask her, has she ever respected Yun Hai in the six years since they got married? Yun Hai is her husband! But how did she treat Yun Hai? She scolded him at every turn, and was not allowed to talk back, let alone fight back! Otherwise, there would be a huge scene!

"They say you should marry a virtuous woman, but the one my son married is a disaster! She can't take care of her parents, and she can't raise children! Not only did she only give birth to a daughter in six years, but she also caused her only daughter to get hurt multiple times because of her!"

"This..." Old Mrs. Rong was about to say something, but Rong Enqing didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Do you think this is the end?" Rong Enqing snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You are narrow-minded and short-sighted. You can't manage the household affairs, but you are very jealous and stir up trouble in the backyard.

"Oh, don't forget, she had embezzled not long ago, and sold her family property without the consent of her mother-in-law and husband to support her parents' family!

"Let me ask you, why would I keep a daughter-in-law like this? Is it going to make myself miserable?"

Zhang's eyes were fierce, and she looked like she wanted to eat Rong Enqing. Unfortunately, no matter how she struggled, she was pinned down by the two maids.

Xiao Rong was calm, but a little too calm. Her eyes were dull, her face expressionless, and she looked as dumb as a doll.

Old Madam Rong raised her hand and pinched her brows, then looked at Rong Enqing with a serious expression: "Even if Rong Yuan has many faults, she is still your niece who you have watched grow up. It was you who came to ask for her hand in marriage. Can you be more tolerant?

"Sending her home is too serious after all!

"Well, I'll ask her to kowtow to you and apologize, and then ask her to apologize to Yunhai, and promise to control her temper and live a good life with Yunhai.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Rong Enqing didn't say anything, but just looked at Old Mrs. Rong quietly.

I don't know how long it took. Seeing that Rong Enqing still didn't respond, Mrs. Rong knew that Rong Enqing was determined.

Her eyes turned red, and she said in a sad tone, "What sin have I committed! I gave birth to a heartless daughter like you! If you do this, Yuan'er's life will be ruined! Your eldest brother has just come to Beijing to work, and there is a divorced daughter in the family. How can he gain a foothold among his colleagues? How can the Rong family survive in the capital?"

At the end, Mrs. Rong couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, Rong Enqing could hear that although Old Madam Rong was truly sad, her sadness was not because little Rong was divorced, but because this fact might have a bad influence on the Rong family and put them in an embarrassing situation.

He is truly a rational yet ruthless old man!

After Mrs. Rong finished crying, Rong Enqing said calmly, "I'll give you three days to pack Rong Yuan's dowry. After three days, I'll have Yun Hai write the divorce letter and go back to see Rong Yuan off."

Old Madam Rong stood up and looked at Rong Enqing with deep eyes: "Do you really want to do this?"
