Chapter 254 The other side of the lady from the aristocratic family
Ms. Cui Wang collapsed on the ground, her once charming face covered with tears and snot, looking both embarrassed and ridiculous.
After being stunned for a long time, Cui Wangshi suddenly screamed like a killing pig.
"Cui Linqian, are your Cui family so ruthless and unjust? You want to divorce me over such a trivial matter. If you dare to write a letter of divorce, I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, will never divorce you!"
Cui Linqian sneered: "I only regret why I married a vicious woman like you, who disturbed my whole family, and dared to secretly murder my son-in-law of the Cui family, a good daughter raised by the Wang family of Taiyuan!"
Mrs. Wang fell to the ground, rolling around like a shrew, her clothes and hair were messy, like a hysterical madman.
When the head of an aristocratic family divorces his wife, the situation is not trivial, and the impact on the family is definitely greater than when ordinary people divorce their wives.
As long as the relationship between husband and wife has not broken down too completely, or the family conflicts are not so acute that they cannot be reconciled, the husband will not divorce her easily even if he leaves his wife in the backyard and ignores her.
The larger the family, the more complicated the marriage. Such marriages often have little to do with the relationship between husband and wife. The marriage of two important families will form an alliance of interests in many aspects.
Once you divorce your wife, there will be a lot of trouble involved in the future, and the aftermath will be a very difficult thing. It will take a lot of time and energy to divide the interests of the two families, and accept immeasurable losses of power and money.
But today, Cui Linqian said without hesitation that he wanted to divorce his wife.
He couldn't tolerate his new wife for more than a day or two. The murder of Li Qinzai was the reason for divorcing his wife, but it was not the only reason. It was just a fuse that completely detonated Cui Linqian's long-suppressed dissatisfaction.
More importantly, Cui Linqian's political sense is very sensitive.
From a few words spoken by his daughter Cui Jie, he heard some key information.
Baiqisi captured Wang Cong'an, the steward of the Taiyuan Wang family who stayed in Chang'an, and Wang Cong'an confessed.
This means that the imperial court has already thought of beating up the Wang family in Taiyuan, otherwise it would not openly send Wang Congan to prison. The emperor has no scruples about the face of the Wang family in Taiyuan. A steward of a powerful family can take it as he pleases, and it is clear that he wants to punish Taiyuan.
Wang took action.
Cui Linqian knew better that the deposing of Wang Liwu shocked the world, but now Empress Wu has a deadly feud with the Wang family of Taiyuan. Now that Li Qinzai was assassinated, Empress Wu is afraid that she will take advantage of it and give the Wang family of Taiyuan a hard blow.
A storm is approaching. Cui Linqian, who is also the head of a thousand-year-old family, must quickly sever ties with the Wang family in Taiyuan before the storm, otherwise there is no guarantee that the Cui family will not be affected.
The Cui family cannot afford the thunderous thunder from Chang'an.
Divorcing your wife is the safest and most decisive way to divorce your wife. It not only shows your loyalty to the emperor, but also invites a good son to the British family. It can also appease your daughter's anger, and at the same time, it also eliminates a hidden danger buried in the Cui family.
.
You can achieve multiple things with one stone, why not?
As for Taiyuan Wang’s reaction?
Oh, let’s wait until the Wang family can survive this storm.
Cui Jie stood indifferently on the open space outside the door, looking at Wang with cold eyes, rolling around on the ground, but there was no wave on her pretty face.
She didn't rush back to Cui's house from Weinan County just to see the woman in front of her act mischievously.
Cui Linqian glanced at Cui Jie and said slowly: "Jie'er, are you satisfied with dad's handling?"
Cui Jie shook her head: "Father, whether you want to divorce your wife or not is your own business. My daughter will not comment. What I have to do is to give an explanation to my future husband-in-law and husband. Otherwise, I will not be able to hold my head up after I get married.
I'm ashamed of Li Qinzai's affection for me."
Cui Linqian frowned: "What do you mean..."
"As I said before, all the servants who came as dowries from the Wang family had their legs broken. Li Qinzai was stabbed, and the Wang family was the culprit. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it. These servants were the accomplices of the tiger, running around to deliver news for the Wang family. The crime cannot be pardoned."
Cui Jie's expression was cold and hard, completely inconsistent with her gentle temperament.
After all, the lady from the aristocratic family is different from Xiaojiabiyu. She has been exposed to the words, deeds and strategies of her fathers since she was a child. She knows very well when to smile like a flower, and when to harden her heart and kill decisively.
Cui Linqian took a deep look at her and nodded: "Okay, it's up to you."
Cui Jie waved her hand, and the villagers brought from various farms of the Cui family came forward one after another, lifted the Wang family's slaves up, pushed them to the ground, and smashed them down with sticks. There was a wailing and screaming of pain outside the door of the Cui family.
From beginning to end, Cui Jie didn't even raise his eyelids, while Cui Linqian also had an indifferent expression on his face, looking at Mr. Wang with no trace of marital affection, like a stranger whom he hated.
"Send them all back to Qi County, Taiyuan. From today on, the Cui family in Qingzhou and the Wang family in Taiyuan will no longer have anything to do with each other." Cui Linqian ordered coldly.
The stick fell and all the Wang family servants had their legs broken. At the same time, Mrs. Wang did not dare to act recklessly. She was afraid that Cui Jie would lose control and break her legs. When things developed to this point, she had no doubt that Cui Jie was really capable.
How dare you do this.
To this day, she seems to have truly gotten to know the eldest lady of the Cui family.
It's ridiculous, why did I think she was weak and could be bullied, and actually dared to send a servant to Ganjing Village to threaten and bully her.
The father and daughter watched expressionlessly as Wang and a group of Wang family servants with broken legs were carried away, and then they looked at each other.
Cui Linqian sighed with a complicated expression: "Jie'er, you have changed a lot after being away from home for a year."
Cui Jie smiled faintly: "My daughter likes herself now."
"Wandering alone, you have suffered a lot, right?"
Cui Jie nodded, then shook her head: "I have suffered hardships, but I live a very solid life."
Cui Linqian hesitated and said, "You and that boy from the Li family..."
Cui Jie's face turned red, but she still bravely looked up at him and said, "We are in love."
Cui Linqian suddenly showed a strange smile: "This time the Cui family and the Li family have set a wedding date, you won't run away from the wedding again, right?"
Cui Jie's pretty face became even redder, she pretended not to hear, tried to maintain her composure, and walked into the door.
Cui Linqian looked at his daughter's back, then at the hundreds of farmers she brought with her, shook his head and smiled.
When she rushed back to Qingzhou from Ganjing Village, the first thing she did was not to go home directly, but to summon all the villagers under the Cui family to drive her. When she didn’t know who was in control of the Cui family now, hundreds of people The famous banker is her confidence.
In a family fight that never saw any smoke, she was the first to become invincible.
The daughter showed her sharpness for the first time, and even Cui Linqian felt how powerful she was.
"It's really different, the changes are too big..." Cui Linqian sighed with a slight disappointment.
Like all old fathers, as his children grow up, his mood is not entirely joyful.
Because the grown-up children no longer need his arms, nor do they need him to protect them from wind and rain.
This means that he is old.
In the future, her life will go from under his umbrella to the umbrella held by another man for her.
Cui Linqian stepped through the door. The moment he walked in, his figure became inexplicably hunched.
