Chapter 278 Are You Still a Human Being?
Mrs. Hai received the divorce letter this morning. It was delivered to her personally by an official from the Lin'an government office in front of everyone in the Yu family. Mr. Yu felt that this was a shame, a great shame! In the Yu family's concept, there was no such thing as divorce. If you want to leave, you have to divorce your wife. He would divorce her and give her a crime that would be shameful to the world, so that the divorced wife would never be able to raise her head.
But he didn't expect that the divorce would really go through. Under pressure from the Ministry of Justice, he had no choice but to agree, otherwise the family property he had worked hard to accumulate over the years might be confiscated.
He didn't dare to guarantee that every penny he got was clean. On the contrary, he knew in his heart that more than 70% of the family's money was ill-gotten gains and could not withstand scrutiny. So he could only swallow his anger and risk his face to preserve the money and the remaining concubines and daughters in the family. But he did not make no request at all. He asked for Madam Hai to leave the house with nothing. Not to mention taking away the things of the Yu family, even the dowry brought from the Hai family, don't even think about taking away a little bit, and all the real estate deeds must be changed to his name. Including the dowry prepared for Xuanji, all of it must be handed over, and not a single bit can be taken out of the Yu Mansion.
So at this moment, Mrs. Hai and Yu Xuanji each carried a bag and walked out. When they passed by Master Yu, neither of them even glanced at him, as if this man did not exist. They only wanted to get out of the mansion as quickly as possible.
Master Yu felt insulted, and with blood sprayed all over his face, he felt unlucky and worried about his beloved concubine, so he got angry when he saw the two of them - "What are you holding in your hands? What did you steal from my Yu family? Stop right there!"
Madam Hai and Yu Xuanji stopped. Yu Xuanji looked at her father in disbelief. "We only took clothes. We didn't take any extra money. What do you want, father?" "Humph! You say it's clothes, so it's clothes? Who knows if there's any money from my Yu family hidden in your clothes?" He waved his hand and said, "Come here, search! Search the bags first, then the body. Search carefully, the neck, the ears, the hair, any place where there is a little bit of hidden things, search them all!"
Upon hearing what he said, two maids came forward, snatched the bags from the mother and daughter and began to search through them.
Mrs. Hai was so angry that her face turned pale. Yu Xuanji wanted to argue with his father, but was stopped by Mrs. Hai. "Don't say anything to him. Let's just endure this last time. As long as we walk out of this door, the future will be bright."
Master Yu laughed when he heard this, "Bright? Bah! Bitch, how bright do you think you can be? Without the protection of my Yu family, how bright can you and your mother be with no money? Why don't I show you a way? Go to the red-willow alleys in the outer city. Only there can take in penniless women. Sleep with men more and you will have money slowly. If you work for many years, you can save some. It's most suitable for bitches like you." "Yu Changwen!" Madam Hai rushed forward and pushed the bloody man in front of her far away. She was so angry that she broke down and cursed - "Are you still a human being? It's okay for you to scold me, but Xuanji is your flesh and blood, your biological daughter! How can you humiliate her like this? How can there be a father like you in the world?"
Yu Xuanji felt sorry for her mother and was also afraid that her father would get angry and hit people, so she quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Mom, don't say anything, let's go, don't take the luggage, let's go now."
"You wish!" Master Yu yelled, "Search! What are you waiting for? Come over here and search me!"
The two maids were unable to spare their hands, and two servants rushed over. Madam Hai's maid Feng, who was the one who went to the general's mansion to deliver the message that night, was not happy and stopped the two servants with her hand. "If anyone dares to take another step forward, I will fight him to the death today! Unless you beat me to death here, if you can't, I will file a complaint as soon as I get out of this door, accusing Yu Changwen, the former sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Justice, of murder!"
When Nanny Feng shouted the crime of murder, Yu Changwen's face changed immediately, "Crazy woman, what crazy talk! Come, take her down, tie her up and take her to the woodshed! No! We can't go to the woodshed, we are moving soon. Tie her up in the carriage and follow us to the new house. I want to interrogate her personally."
"How dare you!" Madam Hai grabbed Madam Feng tightly, "She was my dowry, and she is a servant of our Hai family. Her indenture is kept in the Hai family! What reason do you have to arrest her? Yu Changwen, you are guilty of murder, but you still refuse to admit it? There are more than just people killed in this mansion. Just look at your concubine who fights for favor and makes trouble all day long. How many dead bodies have been carried out of her room? If you can bear the accusation, you will humiliate us mother and daughter to death today. If you can't bear the accusation, just stay calm and don't push your luck!"
Mrs. Hai was a kind person and never said harsh words. Even though Yu Changwen favored his concubine over his wife and treated her and her daughter harshly, she would not get angry easily. At most, she would stay in the Buddhist temple for a day and a night, chanting scriptures, and her unhappiness would disappear.
But now she couldn't stand it any longer. Yu Changwen was getting more and more excessive. She was not afraid of being insulted, but Xuanji was not. "Yu Changwen, listen to me. You and I have already divorced. Xuanji, don't want it. Once you leave this house, I will go to the government office to move her household registration from your Yu family to my Hai family. Although the Hai family is not in Lin'an, and although I don't have a penny, we mother and daughter can get it back even if we beg for food. We will never have anything to do with your Yu family again. We don't want these two pieces of baggage, but if you dare to insult Xuanji again, I, Hai Ruyin, will never let you go!"
Yu Changwen was frightened by her aura and dared not utter any dirty words or ask the servant to search him.
Madam Hai sneered, "When you came to my Hai family to propose marriage, you were just a scholar. My father saw that you were filial to your widowed mother and could study hard to obtain official titles, so he thought you were a promising and reliable person, so he agreed to betroth me to you, and even used his connections to invite teachers in the capital to give you lectures. I didn't expect that you were pretending, and your mother pretended with you, just to trick a girl from a wealthy family into marrying you, and to improve your family tree, which had been commoners for eight generations. Later, you passed the imperial examination and became an official in Beijing, but you became more and more excessive, favoring your concubine and neglecting your wife, and your morals have fallen. What has this Yu Mansion become? I feel sick living in it every day!" Nanny Feng protected Madam Hai and Xuan Ji tightly. Listening to Madam Hai talking about these things, she burst into tears.
"When my daughter got married, she was so glorious. The Hai family had three sons in this generation, but only this one daughter, and the whole family spoiled her like the apple of their eye. The family gave her everything they could, and the dowry was dozens of boxes. The dowries added by several sisters-in-law were enough to buy several houses. But you squandered all those things. You either took them to drink and coax your concubines and concubines, or threw them in the casino. Later, you finally learned to take care of the family, but you took all the things into your own arms. Our lady didn't even see the shadow of the dowry. Even the betrothal gifts brought in by the Ye family later, if we hadn't protected them with all our might and threatened them with the Ye family, they would have been snatched away by you long ago! If I had known you would do this, my daughter would never marry in her life and would never follow you!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Changwen was going crazy. "Only the girls of your Hai family are valuable, only the girls of your Hai family are precious! Why don't you go out and ask around, ask people in Lin'an who the Hai family is! You poor girl from a small place, don't always think you're a lady from a wealthy family, do you think you're the daughter of a noble family? Besides, am I not good to you? If I were really bad to you, I wouldn't have arranged such a good marriage for this little bitch. Go and ask around where that first-rank general's mansion is, their girls are married to princes and nobles, I found such a good family for your daughter, don't you know how to be grateful?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. Once he mentioned this, Madam Hai became even angrier. "Why should I be grateful to you? Am I grateful to you for the real purpose of marrying your concubine's daughter off so that the sisters can share a husband? Or am I grateful to you for teaching your concubine's daughter all day long, telling her to learn how to serve a man well, so that in the future she can push her sister out of the position of the main wife and become the first lady of the Ye family yourself?"
Madam Hai wiped her face, but found that she had no tears in front of this man. "This marriage was decided by that old lady Ye. Do you know why she chose the Yu family? Why did she choose our Xuan Ji? Because she knows that you are a coward, and she also knows that you don't love Xuan Ji, so even if Xuan Ji is bullied to death by the Ye family in the future, you dare not say a word at the door of the Ye family. She also knows that you drink and gamble outside, and that you will be useless in your life and will never be able to enter the court. So she wants your daughter to marry in, so that she can use you to humiliate Xuan Ji, and then use Xuan Ji to humiliate Master Fei Yu. How cruel is this grandmother! She is cleaning up the eldest son's family in a roundabout way. This has nothing to do with us, but you just want to get involved in this muddy water."
Yu Xuanji felt uncomfortable and her nose felt sore after hearing these words.
How could she not know these things? She didn't want to get married at first, and her mother didn't agree to the marriage. It was said that Madam Ye was also unwilling. But unexpectedly, Madam Ye couldn't beat the old lady of the Ye family, and her mother couldn't beat her father.
The marriage was arranged. She was very sad, but after meeting Ye Feiyu once, she was deeply attracted to the young man.
My mother said at that time, it's already like this, just accept your fate! Fortunately, Master Feiyu is a good person, and the eldest lady of the Ye family is not a mother-in-law who is willing to torture people. As for the old lady, how many years can she live? I can outlive her.
So she was waiting to get married with great joy, thinking that after getting married, she would be able to leave the Yu Mansion, this miserable place. However, she did not expect that her father and concubine sister would do such a thing. This was going to kill her!
