Chapter 176 Unexpected
Chapter 176 Unexpected
The old woman sitting next to him quickly picked it up and she immediately checked to see if Yi Jia was hurt.
The little girl was wearing warm clothes now, so she was naturally fine. She was just wondering why her mother and sister didn't ask her if she was hurt.
She looked up and saw her mother staring straight ahead and crying silently, while her sister was helping to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
"This, Yi..." The old woman didn't understand what was going on. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Yuan: "Aunt, just call me Madam Yuan."
As she said this, she pushed the two children into her arms, wiped her tears hard, jumped out of the car and walked across the street.
At the same time, Shen Changshou saw Master Yi. Just as he said see you later to Shicun, Master Yi actually went to meet the woman who had just held the boy.
The little boy cried and asked his father for some meat. When he threw himself into Master Yi's arms, Yuan happened to be walking not far from them.
Shen Changshou's mind went blank for a moment: Master Yi has a wife and children by his side?
On this side, Master Yi wiped away his son's tears, listened to his wife's complaints, smiled, and just turned his head, he saw Yuan.
I saw her eyes were slightly red, and she bowed to me: "I'll get the separation book."
Passersby were startled by this and stopped in their tracks. You have to know that this is Chenghuang Street, which is adjacent to North-South Street and is always crowded.
"Madam..." Master Yi quickly stuffed the boy into the woman's arms, he was a little at a loss.
However, the woman turned around, looked at him, then at Yuan, and then looked around for inquiring eyes. She wiped her son's tears and asked, "Didn't you send the divorce letter a few years ago?"
She was also a marriage arranged by three matchmakers and six betrothals, and it was after her ex-wife was divorced for having no children.
Passersby couldn't help but prick up their ears. What was going on?
"Divorce letter? I've never seen it, and I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be divorced?" When Yuan heard these two words, she stared at Master Yi. She originally thought that the other party was not keeping his promise and taking a concubine. She couldn't stand this and didn't want to think too much.
"Madam, we..." As soon as Master Yi started to speak, he was interrupted by the woman, "I am the wife you married in a formal ceremony."
Then he said to Yuan: "There is a marriage certificate as proof.
There is also a divorce letter from my mother-in-law at home, would you like to see it?"
A divorce letter must be made in duplicate and will only be valid if it is filed with the government. You cannot just write one copy and give it to your wife to get a divorce.
"So that's how it is." Yuan understood. The divorce letter was intercepted when it arrived at the Yi family, and it was probably also intercepted at the government office.
She was so stupid. When the Yi family withheld money and food from her and she had no news from her husband, she should have decisively returned to her parents' home instead of staying there for five years.
Shen Changshou was stunned when he heard this. It was not about taking a concubine or divorcing his wife and remarrying, but there was a divorce letter but Yuan herself did not know about it.
He couldn't help but look at Master Yi a few more times, thinking that the hearts of scholars were sometimes really dark, and that his brother and son must never become such people.
"Shicun, help me, I brought this woman here to find her relatives." He asked Shicun beside him, "Can you send her to the master's study to seek the protection of Mrs. Pan?"
Out of trust in the Shen family, Shicun nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards Yuan at the same time.
The sisters Yi Wen and Yi Jia in the car were suppressed by the mother-in-law and covered their mouths, saying, "Don't go down and embarrass your mother."
Although she didn't know the details, she had seen many things going on in the imperial harem in the capital, and it was the women who suffered when things got out of hand.
I only heard Yuan say, "I have been taking care of your parents in my hometown for five years. I have never received any letters or seen any divorce papers, and I have not committed any of the seven grounds for divorce.
If you find a new lover, please go to the government office to write a divorce letter."
"If you have a divorce letter, you can go back to Mingzhou to look for it, or you can come to our house to see the one with the official seal.
Husband, let's go." Seeing more and more people gathering at the street corner, the woman pushed Master Yi and left.
Yuan didn't stop them. She knew in her heart that she had been cheated by the Yi family in Mingzhou.
"Mrs. Yuan, we will take you to Mrs. Pan's house first, okay?" Shen Changshou and Shicun approached, and the latter said to the people around them, "Go away, this is my distant relative."
Everyone respected Mr. Pan, and the people around him also benefited from it, so they gradually dispersed.
Yuan bowed deeply to the two men, knowing that she was lucky to meet such kind people.
So he got into the car very quietly, and under the worried gaze of the mother-in-law, he smiled and said to his two daughters, "Are you following your father or your mother?"
"With mom." Yi Wen was a few years older and could not remember what his father looked like, but he remembered the suffering he had endured over the years.
Yi Jia was born half a month after Master Yi went to take the exam. She had never seen her father, and she also said, "With mom."
Then he asked again, "Was the person just now dad? He didn't even look at me."
This one sentence almost made Yuan burst into tears, and the maid sighed for her.
Shen Changshou, who was leading the mule in front, looked at Shicun. What was going on?
Shen Xiaoye, who was still in the capital, never expected that such a thing would happen just after Yuan mother and daughter arrived in Linghe County.
She was standing outside the gate again, looking around. Mr. Bai said, "Miss Shen, don't worry. Xuan Shen will come back to report as soon as he finishes his work."
"I'm fine anyway, so I'll just stand outside and enjoy the scenery." Shen Xiaoye was actually looking at the side alley. She was very sure that someone was peeking at her.
At both ends of the alley, the peddler was no longer seen.
She said, "Mr. Bai, how many wealthy families are there in the village where you live?
If I put my cloth in your house for consignment, is that okay?"
“Why not? Most people in the village cultivate a few acres of their own land and also rent land.
Also, because it is close to the capital, it is easier to do odd jobs and earn some extra money.
But most of the time, people buy cloth at the end of the year. "Mr. Bai is willing to sell it for me, but he doesn't know if he can sell it on normal days.
He added: "We grow cotton in our village and weave our own cloth. Every day we send it to the capital to sell."
Shen Xiaoye nodded: "I'll give you two pieces of cloth. You can take them home to try them out. I'll give you one penny for every foot you sell."
"Listen to what you say, girl." Uncle Bai did not refuse. He had a large family and every penny he earned meant he could have one more meal.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little black cat came running in from the west entrance of the alley, its breath a little unstable.
Shen Xiaoye quickly picked it up and went home, and heard it say, "I saw the peddler meeting your rescuer.
But now a new person has come with a load of goods on his shoulder, and he will be at the entrance of the alley soon."
"Sun." It seems that what she guessed was correct. The Guard Bureau was protecting or monitoring her.
Shen Xiaoye frowned, entered the room, took out her throwing knife and wiped it, then got up and went out after a moment.
Little Black Cat: "Where to go?"
"Go and throw some more hidden weapons, I can't stay at home all the time.
Why not go out for a walk and bring the potential danger to the surface? "Shen Xiaoye has made a decision.
Little Black Cat: "How to adjust it?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Shen Xiaoye grabbed it and said, "But before we act, I'll give you a bath first."
"Ah, no." The little black cat broke free from her and ran away, but unexpectedly an unexpected guest came to the door.
