Chapter 120 Harmony (Part 2)
At this moment, all his original aura was vented, and Wei Cheng's eyes were full of shock and anger and panic. Although he had many words to ask, he finally said "you..." and he didn't know how to speak in a panic.
Li Ling still saw what he wanted to say, and sneered: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, do you think that no one knows your dirty things? Do you think you're going to find an excuse to sell Li Tongfa, and some things will no longer be known?"
"You... have you found Li Tong?" It was not until this time that Wei Cheng reacted a little, staring at Li Ling with a pale face, and then he saw the other party nodding calmly: "Of course, otherwise how could I know what happened at the Flower House that day? Maybe no one at home knows what the Flower House is, but in Jiangbei County, I think there are people who know it. Moreover, as far as I know, the people there did not greet you that day. You were hanging out with Mr. Jia and others for a day and a night before coming out..."
"Stop talking!" Wei Cheng suddenly screamed again, interrupting Li Ling's words, but scared everyone else. Li Le'er even showed a suspicious look to look at Wei Cheng, and then to see his younger brother. He couldn't understand what kind of handle he had been taken to be so disobedient.
Li Ling's face was also full of disgust: "You said I want to know these things, do you want to mention these things to you? If you had agreed to divorce your sister before, I wouldn't bother with your messy things. How about Mr. Wei? Have you changed your mind now?"
Wei Cheng's expression changed a few times, and then he said, "You all go out!" But he said to the servants. Although they were also curious about what the inside story was, they still agreed and retreated. In the end, only the Li siblings and Wei Cheng were left here.
At this time, Wei Cheng's expression became a little calmer. He looked at Li Ling: "Even if you know what happened back then, so what? Can you still go to the county government to sue me? This dynasty has never said that a good manly style is a sin..."
"What..." Before he finished speaking, Li Le'er on the other side had already shown an incredible look, exclaiming in surprise, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at him with the other hand, trembling: "You...you...like men?"
A trace of gloom flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes, but he still insisted on himself: "So what? You are the wife of my official matchmaker. This is an unchangeable fact. There is no law that stipulates that those who like men can no longer have wives!"
After hearing this, Li Le'er's trembling became more and more intense, and she felt even more disgusted. Seeing this, Li Ling quickly stepped forward and supported her sister, but her tone became more and more cold: "Young Master Wei really carved the word shameless into his bones. He could actually say such words."
As a time traveler, he actually does not discriminate against gay men, although his orientation is very normal. However, when certain things really fall on his relatives, the reaction will naturally be completely different. Li Ling's eyes became even colder: "If you are just a good man, of course it is not a big deal, and I can't force you to surrender. But what if you are the one who is favored?"
Wei Cheng's eyes shrank again, and the momentum he had just returned was vented again: "What did you... say?"
"Isn't this clear enough? Then let me explain it more clearly. I can be sure that you and those young men are not at the flower shop there, but are serving their own drought roads, right?" As he said, he waved his hand to stop the other party's words, "Don't think of denying that some things can be found out by spending money. Do you think the people in the flower shop will keep it secret for you?"
This last sentence pierced Wei Cheng's last layer of protection like a needle, making him fall down on the chair like a deflated ball, his face full of fear. Before Li Ling finished speaking, he continued: "In addition, I also found some details. You had to make this choice because you wanted to flatter Mr. Jia, because you wanted to take this provincial examination this year through his relationship. But the result was not as good as you wish, and in the end you only got 200 taels of silver... Also, you have recently been trying to retain the identity of a public school teacher in your clan, but for some reasons, the situation was not very good.
"If someone spread the dirty things before you were told at this time, you asked Mr. Wei how he still has the face to compete for a teacher and what kind of face he has to teach and educate people? Oh, by the way, if you really get to this point, you may not even be able to gain a foothold in the Wei family, right? After all, your Wei family has always boasted of being honest and righteous, and they will never accept such a humiliating thing!"
Devil! At this moment, Li Ling was a terrifying devil in Wei Cheng's eyes. He had already forced himself into the Jedi in a few words. He knew very well that this matter would be known to outsiders and that he would be completely finished in his life.
The fear and resentment in his heart continued to accumulate, but he could not vent it, so his whole face kept twisting and deforming: "Don't say it! I'm just for you, Heli! I'm willing to be with her!"
Li Le'er was completely numb at this time. The impact this time was greater than the suffering she suffered in the previous years, which made her feel a little confused about how to react. Although Li Ling was a little obscure when she said this, she already knew what her husband had done before - not only did that with a man, but also the one who was a female lover. Thinking about such a person being his pillow and having a skin relationship with him, she felt a chill and a nausea.
After hearing Wei Cheng finally agreed to divorce, she was stunned again, and felt her heart relaxed. At the same time, tears fell down again, but she didn't know whether it was because of joy or sorrow.
My sister was completely confused, but Li Ling didn't, so he immediately said: "There is another point, Tangtang wants to give it to her. Anyway, you don't like your daughter. She will only endure hardships when she stays by your side."
At this time, Wei Cheng only wanted to keep his secret and was willing to compromise on everything else, so he nodded again: "Just as you said, Tangtang will give it to you..."
"Then go to the county government to get things done now." Li Ling seized the opportunity and said while the iron was hot.
At this point, Wei Cheng had to submit and nodded slightly: "Then go, but you have to promise me what happened before..."
"Don't worry, I just want to take my sister and Tangtang back. As for what you will do in the future, it has nothing to do with me." Li Ling said with a smile, and then looked at Li Le'er who was still weak beside him: "Sister, hold on for a while and get everything done, I will take you and Tangtang home."
"Well..." Li Le'er only felt that her younger brother had grown up and had support, so she responded softly and left everything to him to deal with.
So, under the strange eyes of several servants of the Wei family, the three of them quickly went out, got on the carriage that had been parked outside, and headed straight for the county government.
Because of the influence of certain literary and artistic works, people in later generations only think of divorce when they mention husband and wife divorce. Then they say that this is the persecution of women by ancient patriarchal society and a major manifestation of women's extremely low social status.
But in fact, the status of women in ancient times was not that low. At least the status of the wife who was married to the family by a Ming media was almost the same as that of the husband. It was not that you said you could divorce your wife, just write a divorce book.
The so-called divorce of a wife actually has a prerequisite, that is, the wife must be driven out of the house without any official authority after the wife commits the "seven-in-one rules". These seven rules are even more strict, and they cannot be determined by a husband's slap in his thigh.
For example, there are children, debauchery, stealing, and not serving uncles and aunts (that is, they are not filial to their parents-in-law). They are all right. Even if they are left in later generations, they can even ask people to leave the house in vain. But even when they reach this point, the woman's dowry must be returned in full after divorce, which can also be regarded as the protection of women's rights and interests in ancient times.
Then, in addition to divorce, in ancient times, there were actually cases of couples breaking down their relationship, so there was also an agreement to divorce at this time, that is, divorce. However, it was necessary to re-register in the yamen to prove that the two parties were not husband and wife anymore and the two families had no relationship.
Of course, although divorce exists, it is also an extremely rare thing. The ancients were different from later generations. Getting married and divorce was as simple as drinking water and eating.
As a courtroom in charge of marriage and funerals and other matters in the county, Li Ling and his friends need to divorce today. When the officials here heard Li Ling's explanation, they were not a little confused. This matter was too rare and the county could not have encountered it once in a few years.
"Young Master Wei, do you really want to divorce your wife?" The official asked again after he came back to his senses.
Wei Cheng was slowly calming down at this time, but his face was still pale, and he could only nod his head powerlessly: "That's right, it's a good job. It's hard for my wife and I to live together, and I don't want to delay her youth, so I divorced."
"Since that's the case, then it's up to you." The official saw that the couple was present at the same time, and he was determined and could not say anything. He took out the relevant paper, wrote the relevant text, and asked the two to sign and seal it. He then took the things to find the official seal of the superior's ritual room, and finally reported to the county magistrate.
Logically speaking, such things are done very quickly. No official will like to interfere in other people's housework. It takes less than half an hour to complete the documents, and then they can go back.
But this time, there was a delay. As the time passed, the official's eyes were still not turned around. This made Li Ling feel a little uneasy again. He couldn't help but walk out of the signing room and sweep out. Then he saw several officials strode with a man in fine clothes.
