Madam Yin gritted her teeth: "Of course, no problem..."
It was already humiliating enough to let Shen Lingxia get a divorce. Old Madam Yin didn't want to return a single penny of Shen Lingxia's dowry, especially since the Yin family was already in dire financial straits.
But the Shen family still held leverage over the Yin family, so she dared not object.
The Shen family accompanied Shen Lingxia to her courtyard and moved all her belongings out.
All she had left of her personal belongings were some jewelry, which were barely worth a few dollars.
After comparing it with the dowry list from back then, the missing items were converted into silver, and finally rounded up to ten thousand taels. The Shen family did not intend to take advantage of the Yin family for such a small gain.
Madam Yin's heart was bleeding.
She had just sold a farm to pay off Jian Qingshuang's debts, and now she'll definitely have to sell two more for this ten thousand taels of silver.
Nearly half of the Yin family's assets were lost in an instant.
The remaining shops have not yet started normal business operations, and it is unknown when they will become profitable.
With the salaries of those few civil officials in the Yin family, the whole family would starve.
But she still didn't dare to say a word.
Shen Lingxia brazenly took away Jian Qingshuang's evidence, saying that it would be returned only when the Yin family paid off the dowry.
That afternoon, Shen Lingxia moved back to the Shen residence with her two maids.
That evening, a lavish banquet was held at the Shen residence to celebrate Shen Lingxia's divorce.
Just like when Shen Lingjun lost her husband, Shen Wei bought a large number of firecrackers and set them off at the entrance of the Shen residence for a full quarter of an hour.
Dispel bad luck and bring joy!
Indeed, everyone at the banquet was beaming with joy.
Previously, Madam Wen had been quite displeased with Shen Lingxia, always arguing with her. But now that she saw Shen Lingxia finally get rid of that shameless Yin Bohong and emerge from the divorce clean and innocent, Madam Wen was overjoyed, and her expression improved considerably.
Shen Jingyang asked Shen Lingxia, "Lingxia, now that you're free, what are your plans for the future?"
Madam Wen immediately said, "They just got divorced, what are you planning to do so soon? She's been foolish for so many years, and she's suffered enough in the Yin family. Now she should be enjoying herself at home, doing whatever she wants. Can't the Shen family afford to support a daughter?"
Then he warned, "When you get married in the future, you must not let your silly little sister suffer. If it doesn't work, we'll separate the family. You and your family will move out, and Lingxia will continue to live with us in the Shen family mansion."
Shen Jingyang was both amused and exasperated: "How could I possibly let her suffer? Besides, I don't plan to get married anytime soon."
Although he had long since let go of Wei Yunluo's matter, it still had a significant impact on him.
The girl he had known for so many years, the fiancée he thought he would spend his life with, abandoned him without hesitation when he was at his lowest point, and went to someone else's arms.
How can he trust other women after this?
He didn't want to just marry a suitable wife but with no feelings for her, and then live a dull and meaningless life.
Shen Wei and Wen Shi were deeply in love when they got married, and they have been together for nearly thirty years, their love as strong as ever. Shen Wei has never taken a concubine, and Wen Shi has always been devoted to him through thick and thin.
Having seen his parents' case, Shen Jingyang became even more unwilling to settle for less.
If there's no one he wants to marry, then forget it.
