Chapter 53: Kowtow, Pleading(1/2)
The moment Yuan Wenxuan got her divorce letter, she accumulated all night's emotions and finally collapsed.
Su Yue's attitude was firm last night, which made her understand that there was no room for change.
She thought she could accept it, but even if she felt uncomfortable, as long as she calmed down, she would be able to survive and accept it calmly.
However, at this moment, she realized that she was too naive and not as free and easy as she thought.
It was only then that I realized that it was hard to give up.
As long as she thinks that from now on, Su Yue will no longer be her husband, all his love and good will be given to another woman. Her child will call other women and get close to other women in the future, treat her like a stranger, and feel a suffocating pain in her heart.
Citron looked at Yuan Wenxuan crying like a tearful person, and felt uncomfortable.
If you want to persuade me, all your words will turn pale.
Gao Fu knocked on the door and walked in from outside. He seemed not to notice the depressing atmosphere in the room. He said in a business manner: "Ms. Yuan, the second master asked me to send you back." Then he looked at the room and did not pack up Yuan Wenxuan's things. "I'm waiting outside. I'll pack up and send someone to notify me."
Miss Yuan?
This title completely separates her relationship with Su Yue.
Yuan Wenxuan held her divorce book tightly, and her finger bones turned white.
He tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his body, his eyes were red and swollen, and he wanted to ask if Miss Yuan was Su Yue's order.
When the words came to your mouth, they seemed to have no meaning. Even if you asked, it would be just a humiliation.
Citron said respectfully, "It's already packed up, there are not many things. In the past, except for the dowry, I brought only some decorations and clothes, only a few boxes of cages. The dowry lady was kept in the warehouse and counted and took them away, and had to pass through the eldest lady's hand. Now the eldest lady is in poor health, so the dowry will be placed here first. When the eldest lady is in good health, we will send someone to the house to count it."
"This..." Gao Fu wanted to tell the second master.
Citron quickly interrupted him, "It's not just a dowry, but the things the wife has received over the years will be counted and returned. In addition, if the lady has not given birth to children, the dowry will naturally be carried back to Yuan's mansion. Now that the lady gave birth to a young master, the dowry should be left to the young master before she can ask Mrs. Hou to be a witness."
Yuan Wenxuan's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood Citron's intention, "Will A Yue change his mind if I put my things here for a day?"
Gao Fu didn't say anything.
"No, he won't." Yuan Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "If you are worried, you can tell him."
Gao Fu turned around to the wing room. Su Yue was teasing his son with the rattle. When he heard Gao Fu's retelling, he paused slightly, watched his son grab the rattle from his hand, shook it twice, pounding the mattress, giggling, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Gently wiped the saliva from his chin, Brother Xin threw the rattle back and quickly climbed onto Su Yue.
"Dad... hug..."
Su Yue hugged Brother Xin, his eyes full of love.
"Follow her."
Gao Fu went back and agreed to Citron's words.
Yuan Wenxuan no longer had any entanglements, and the dowry maid carried the cage and left the side door.
She went to the eldest room and did not want to see Jiang Jiaoyue. She knelt outside the house and kowtowed three times to apologize to Jiang Jiaoyue.
I thought about it all night in chaos, stood from Jiang Jiaoyue's perspective, put myself in my shoes, and thought about it. If Jiang Jiaoyue hurt her child, she would fight with Jiang Jiaoyue!
Su Yue, who is brotherly and suppresses the matter, will forgive her openly and will ask Jiang Jiaoyue to get the debt back in private!
She is really obsessed with it, so she does such a vicious thing.
At that time, she had a close relationship with Jiang Jiaoyue as if she was close friends. She was kind and tolerant and would not care about her. She had a scheming sister-in-law, a uncle who loved her younger brother. She was obedient and cute and adorable son. How many people envy such a happy and harmonious life? But she destroyed her own hands!
Yuan Wenxuan knew she was wrong, and she owed Jiang Jiaoyue an apology.
After kowtowing, she was about to leave.
Liuli came out of the house and saw Yuan Wenxuan's behavior. She hated Yuan Wenxuan in her heart. She heard that the second master had divorced her early this morning. She still remembers to kowtow to the eldest lady to apologize, which shows that she still has some conscience.
"Second Madam, don't you go in and sit there?"
Liuli asked politely.
Yuan Wenxuan shook her head, she had no face to see Jiang Jiaoyue for the time being.
Jiang Jiaoyue was afraid that she would not want to see her.
Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Yuan Wenxuan refused. If she went in, the eldest lady would be so angry that she would be so angry!
"I will send you there." Liuli said as she walked out of the yard.
Yuan Wenxuan and Citron left Hou's Mansion.
Liuli watched the master and servant go to the side door, turned around and entered the room. Jiang Jiaoyue was lying on the bed, looking bad and her face was slightly pale. The wife of Shangshu came over and was guarding the bedside and feeding Jiang Jiaoyue to drink medicine.
"Is Yuan Wenxuan here?" Jiang Jiaoyue heard what Liuli said.
"What are she doing?" Mrs. Shangshu's face turned cold. Thinking that the grandson whom her daughter finally got pregnant almost disappeared, no matter how good her sex was, she couldn't hold on. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's good that she came from a scholarly family, and everyone praised her virtuousness. This behavior opened my eyes."
Liuli replied: "Madam, the second wife knelt down and kowtowed three times outside, and then left the Marquis' Mansion. I heard that the second master had divorced her this morning. I don't know if she was here to play the show or was really hit and I knew that I had repented."
The wife of Shangshu sneered, "Can you just kowtows remove the good things she did? Yue'er is still lying on the bed, and she doesn't know how the child is in her belly is. It's better if such a woman is divorced. In addition to doing evil, the child will be raised for her!"
Jiang Jiaoyue knew that her mother was so angry that she spoke so sharply.
"Mom, don't be angry. Yuan Wenxuan received the punishment she deserves. This matter is revealed and there is no need to mention it. There is no need to get angry about it." Jiang Jiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of Yuan Wenxuan. If Yuan Wenxuan was not in the mansion, she could take care of her baby well. There is no need to be worried, worrying that she would stumbling on one whim and trip her up.
My stomach didn't hurt anymore today, and there were only a few bloodshots. When she saw hope, she had great confidence in her heart. This child had a deep fate with her and would not leave her easily.
The wife of Shangshu felt sorry for Jiang Jiaoyue. There is indeed no need to mention those unpleasant things.
It was mentioned repeatedly, but it was just a matter of making Jiang Jiaoyue sad.
"Okay, I won't mention it. You just have a good temper and are too soft-hearted. Others think you are easy to bully."
Gu Yunniang came in with a food box. Jiang Jiaoyue's complexion was slightly better than yesterday. "Are you better?"
"It's much better." Jiang Jiaoyue's eyes fell on the food box, her eyes lit up, and she touched her lower abdomen. The smile on the corner of her mouth froze, and her eyes were dull. "You have worked hard to cook again, just do these things for the cook. I have no appetite these days and don't want to eat."
How could Gu Yunniang not know what Jiang Jiaoyue had experienced? She felt wary and didn't trust anyone. She understood in her heart and did not point it out.
"I saw my aunt coming over and specially made some foods to let her taste my skills." Gu Yunniang cut a few pastries, a plate of sauce into slices, and two bowls of black bone chicken soup.
Jiang Jiaoyue hung her eyelashes, and she loved snacks. When she came back from the ancestral hall, she mentioned her mouth and said she wanted to eat sauce meat, but the cook made it not delicious. She was particularly greedy for the sauce meat from the braised shop. She was worried that the outside was not clean, so she wanted to teach her how to make sauce meat. Gu Yunniang had time to teach her how to make sauce meat. Gu Yunniang had always taken it to heart and gave it to her today. The rich meat fragrance did not make her want to vomit, but instead aroused her appetite. The remaining black-bone chicken soup was fresh and fragrant, with golden soup, and some oil stars were scattered. It looked not greasy, which showed that Gu Yunniang was preparing with care.
She bit her lower lip, feeling a little guilty and annoyed. She knew Gu Yunniang's temperament very well. She shouldn't be on guard against her, she wouldn't harm herself at all.
But Jiang Jiaoyue was really afraid. She was so close to Yuan Wenxuan at the time and said everything, but Yuan Wenxuan took action without any mercy.
The wife of Shangshu knew that Gu Yunniang was a good person, unlike Yuan Wenxuan. She saw her daughter’s concerns, put down the medicine bowl and handed her a glass of water, "If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat it. When you want to eat it later, ask Liuli to warm it up."
Gu Yunniang's face was fulfilled.
The wife of Shangshu cleans her hands and puts a piece of sauce into her mouth. It tastes delicious
, with a strong taste and a very good taste, and I couldn't help but take another piece of it.
"Your craftsmanship is really good." Mrs. Shangshu took a bowl of soup and tasted it kindly, "I heard you open a restaurant in Lihua Village?"
"Yes, I'm already preparing. When I go back, it will probably be open." Gu Yunniang mentioned the farm, her eyes turned with stars, and said enthusiastically: "This is my first time doing business, and I don't know what the benefits will be. In the future, my aunt can go to Lihua Village with her uncle. Jingnian and I will entertain you and my uncle well."
The wife of Shangshu responded, and the unhappiness in her heart dissipated.
Jiang Jiaoyue listened to Gu Yunniang's conversation with her mother, and she silently looked at the food on the small table. The tug-of-war in her heart was finally defeated by Gu Yunniang's smile.
She held a piece of sauce with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The deliciousness at the tip of her tongue made her eyes bent.
"Yunniang, the sauce meat you made is so delicious! Is it good to teach me tomorrow?"
Gu Yunniang was stunned.
The wife of Shangshu couldn't help but laugh, "She, sooner or later she will suffer a loss in this mouth!"
Temperament comes quickly and goes quickly.
This matter has nothing to do with Gu Yunniang, so Jiang Jiaoyue did not resist her.
Jiang Jiaoyue's cheeks turned red, shy and annoyed. She had been with Gu Yunniang for some time during the past few days she had been with Gu Yunniang, and inexplicably believed that she would not harm her. Gu Yunniang specially prepared food for her, but she just politely refused Gu Yunniang's intentions. Instead, she was angry.
"Yunniang, don't take it to heart. I'm too worried about my children, so I treat you like that. Although we have known each other for a short time, I know you are an open-minded person and shouldn't be on guard against you." Jiang Jiaoyue took Gu Yunniang's hand, and Gu Yunniang returned home, making food for her from time to time, all of which catered to her appetite. It shows that she is sincere. If she wanted to harm her, she would have been hurt long ago. Why should she do it rashly at such a critical moment? "I'm sorry."
"Sister-in-law, you did nothing wrong. If I were you, I would be on guard against the people around you. I would be very happy if you trust me." Gu Yunniang was really happy to see Jiang Jiaoyue eating her sauce.
Jiang Jiaoyue sniffed in one breath, ate a few slices of sauce and drank half a bowl of soup.
When the wife of Shangshu saw that Jiang Jiaoyue had used some food, her heart fell down.
Seeing that it was getting late, she called Gu Yunniang to see her off.
Gu Yunniang followed the wife of Shangshu and walked out of the courtyard together. The wife of Shangshu said to Gu Yunniang: "I know you are a kind-hearted child. Because I will take the marriage to you, you are very sincere to Yue'er. I feel relieved that she has a sister-in-law like you. After experiencing this incident, although it is heartbreaking, it can also make her look at it. My aunt has a heartless request. She was depressed these days and her appetite is not good. You can prepare the meals for her these days? It is a kindness I owe you."
The wife of Shangshu knew that her request was embarrassing. After all, Gu Yunniang was also the wife of the mansion, and these things were done by servants.
Gu Yunniang shook her head, "You don't have to be so polite. My sister-in-law has taken good care of me. Now that something happens to her, I should cook a few meals for her. Anyway, I usually cook for Jing Nian, and I will do the two of them together, which will not take much time."
The wife of Shangshu stepped forward and hugged Gu Yunniang, "Yunniang, it's aunt who is abrupt."
The warm and fragrant arms wrapped her around her. Gu Yunniang was stunned. She stared at the dead branches in front of her and gently hugged Mrs. Shangshu, with her chin resting on her shoulders. In the arms of Mrs. Shangshu, Gu Yunniang seemed to snuggle into her mother's arms, as warm as she was.
Her mother is still alive and is in Qinghe Town, but she will never meet in this life.
The wife of Shangshu was about to let go of her, and Gu Yunniang's words were faster than her own reason, "Auntie, can you hold me for a while?"
This little warmth made her greedy.
