Chapter 108: Divorced
Uncle Ye, who was standing next to him, saw Ye Qiongying's strange expression and couldn't help but lean over to take a look. Seeing the black mass on the letter paper, he asked in confusion:
"This... Madam Hua wants you to buy an animal from Pingwu City and send it to the capital to be a pet for A-Lu?"
Ye Qiongying almost couldn't hold it in anymore. She held back her laughter and held the letter up to her cheek.
"Uncle Ye, this is a picture of me drawn by my cousin. Why, doesn't it look like me?"
Uncle Ye looked at his own beautiful and dazzling daughter. She had been in the military camp for a month. Probably due to daily training, her skin color had become darker than before, but still bright and beautiful. Her eyes and eyebrows were even brighter than when she was in the capital, like a peony that had finally bloomed.
Look at the picture on the right...
The thick black lines were tangled into a ball, and the arms and legs seemed to be the same length, with no idea what was drawn on the top, squashing them into a lump.
If the girl hadn't mentioned it herself, he would have really thought that this was some rare animal unique to the outside world.
Thinking of Miss Alu's childish voice, Uncle Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally said against his conscience:
"Yes... they are quite similar, just like you, girl, one-of-a-kind."
Ye Qiongying burst into laughter:
"Uncle Ye, you are the one who knows how to praise! Hahaha, come, put this one-of-a-kind painting away! Find a craftsman to frame it tomorrow. When my little cousin grows up, I will let her see this childhood painting. It must be very interesting."
Uncle Ye looked at the painting and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Qiongying looked at another letter, which was actually written by her personal maid Wenping.
Wen Ping said that she had found a "master" in the mansion, and followed him to practice martial arts every day to strengthen her body. However, becoming a disciple was a bit troublesome, as she needed to sew clothes and shoes for people all year round, and was also responsible for daily snacks.
The good thing was that she could now run a long circle around the Ye Mansion without panting, and she even learned her first set of boxing techniques, but her punches were so weak that her master laughed at her and said she was no better than a country boy beating cotton.
In addition, she also started to learn how to run a business as a housekeeper from Mrs. Hua. When she arrives in Pingwu City in the future, no matter what the lady needs her to do, she will be able to do it!
Not only can she protect the girl's safety, but she can also manage the housework and make money to buy weapons for the girl. It is definitely cost-effective. No other personal maid is better than her.
While running around outside these days, she also learned a lot about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.
Although the master has said that he no longer cares about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, that family has always been unfaithful to the master, and now they have suffered retribution. It is time for the master to know about this, and it is always good to use it to make him happy.
Not long after Ye Qiongying left Beijing, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery planned to hold another wedding.
Apparently Leng Qianqian's pillow talk was too strong, causing Yin Xu to once again consider marrying her formally.
However, the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis did not have much property to begin with, and in order to repay the money owed to the Ye Mansion last time, they even owed a huge debt, so the wedding naturally could not be grand.
But Leng Qianqian was not one of those people who wanted to marry in such a shabby way. No one knew how she did it, but Yin Xu found some money and bought the betrothal gifts and dowry.
As the wedding was about to arrive, Yin Xu's sister was divorced by her husband's family and sent back home.
Naturally, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery refused to agree and went to the door, causing the brother-in-law's family to lose face and reveal the whole story.
It turned out that Yin Xu's sister Yin Man had taken a lot of Ye Qiongying's things when she lived in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. When returning them, she claimed that she couldn't take out several of them. In the end, Yin Xu paid for them out of his own pocket.
At that time, I thought the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was about to become rich, so it would be okay to pay some money to sever ties with the Ye family.
Now that he needed money, Yin Xu came to ask for it again.
Yin Man had no choice but to refuse, but she was afraid of completely offending her younger brother and losing her support in the future. However, she was reluctant to take out the jewelry, so she secretly embezzled a large sum of money from her husband's account office and gave it to Yin Xu.
As if things didn't get worse, Yin Man's husband's mother fell seriously ill and needed a precious medicinal herb to treat her illness and recuperate. Then she found that the money saved in the family was gone.
The seriously ill mother was so shocked that she died on the spot.
The husband who had tolerated Yin Man for so many years finally couldn't bear it anymore. Even if it offended the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he was unwilling to continue the marriage. He sent the arrogant and willful wife back to her parents' home with a letter of divorce.
At this moment, the people who were watching the fun couldn't help but point fingers at the Yin family.
It is true that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
His younger brother Yin Xu was ungrateful. He spent the Ye family's money, betrayed them, favored his concubine and killed his wife, and even turned around to frame his ex-wife.
My elder sister Yin Man is vain and arrogant. She would rather empty her husband's family's assets than give up the things that do not belong to her. She caused her mother-in-law's death, and people don't want her as a cheating daughter-in-law anymore. How dare she come to their house to ask for an explanation?
In addition...
Isn't there going to be a wedding in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion recently? Could the cost of the wedding banquet be the life-saving money that the official could have used to save his mother?
What a crime!
The reputation of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion continued to plummet, so the group of people had no time to bother with it anymore and returned home in disgrace.
As for the wedding, it naturally came to nothing.
Under this situation, neither Yin Xu nor Leng Qianqian dared to mention the matter again, and within two days, they sent a sum of money to the minor official's house.
The family accepted the money, but was blocked outside the gate and driven away. It was obvious that they did not want to have anything to do with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion anymore.
Yin Man is not an easy person to get along with. After being divorced and sent back to her parents' home, she said that it was all because of her brother's marriage to Leng Qianqian that she ended up like this, and she suppressed Leng Qianqian to the point that she couldn't raise her head.
Leng Qianqian was also scheming, and it was not easy to confront her head-on, so she hinted at Yin Xu to help.
Yin Xu felt depressed and anxious in the cracks, and even made mistakes in his assignments several times. It was said that he had been reprimanded by his superiors several times. If he continued like this, he would be lucky to keep his title of marquis, let alone restore his family.
Before this letter was sent out, Leng Qianqian had already closed down the Jinyifang that imitated the Jinxiu Pavilion. It was said that she wanted to open a big restaurant. She also made some kind of business cards and hired a lot of guys to hand out flyers on the street.
After reading Wen Ping's letter, Ye Qiongying's first reaction was not to comment on the situation in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but to think that Wen Ping's handwriting had improved a lot.
As for the people and events in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion...
Ye Qiongying folded the letter and put it back into the envelope.
She was naturally happy that they were in trouble, but now she had more important things to do and a broader sky. Yin Xu and Leng Qianqian? They were just two inconspicuous black spots.
She had long anticipated that without her, the God of Wealth, it would not be easy for them to live the leisurely and comfortable life they had in their previous life.
As for revenge...
There’s no rush. It won’t be too late for her to take action after they’ve dealt with their problems.
