In the living room, the quadruplets were still sobbing, and sisters Chu Nanzhu and Chu Nanxiang could not persuade them no matter how hard they tried.
Liu Yun felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this, and she burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.
Chu Nanzhi helped her sit down by the bed, looking a little distressed, so he had to convince her first: "I know that my mother really hopes that Lin Dalang and I will live a good life, but after all, many things cannot be forced, even if he is currently in love.
He can treat our family well, but a marriage contract cannot bind him for the rest of his life."
"When did he write He Li Shu?"
Liu Yun asked while choking, unable to listen to her daughter's persuasion at all.
Chu Nanzhi hesitated for a moment: "On the day he took office."
"This heartless guy, I really misjudged him."
Liu Yun felt a little angry.
If he had written and left the book earlier, I think he would still have some backbone. Wanting to kick this family out as soon as he was promoted is simply a wolf-hearted thing.
"No wonder he bought a carriage for me and your father, and supported you to take the imperial examination. It turned out that he was afraid of being gossiped about. Could it be that this would make him feel at ease? I won't let him get his wish, so I will use a piece of paper
The marriage contract binds him for life."
Liu Yun was so angry that she gritted her teeth and took out the marriage contract that had been kept for many years from her arms and held it in her hand. She blushed and scolded loudly:
"Da Zhi, you don't have to be so heartless as to compromise and blame yourself in front of the Lin family. You can't be stupid. This marriage contract is clearly written in black and white. He is the son-in-law of my Chu family. Even if
It makes sense before the emperor. He has no right to reconcile with you."
"I'm not stupid, I'm telling the truth."
Chu Nanzhi stared straight at the marriage contract in her hand, but she didn't expect that the woman had been carrying it with her: "Now that things have happened, I don't want to hide it from my mother anymore. He and I are actually
We have discussed the matter of reconciliation a long time ago, and it was discussed not long after the tax and bank case."
"Has it been discussed long ago?"
Liu Yun was stunned. Her daughter was really capable. She made such a big decision without consulting her.
Only then did she gradually realize that her daughter was probably not living a happy life during this period, so she had taken good care of them, father and son, just to get such a divorce letter.
I don’t know if the heartless guy felt sorry for his daughter during this period.
She suddenly remembered the old things from that year and asked tentatively: "Is the son-in-law still thinking about that girl from the Chang family?"
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi nodded sadly, and quickly explained: "You can't blame him for this. If our family hadn't interfered with it back then, he should have married Chang Yanning. Now he has separated the house and the palace.
The ten thousand taels of silver that were rewarded were all left to me, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing. Mother, you should be more generous and stop worrying about this matter."
"I"
Liu Yun hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't swallow it, and said sternly: "Da Zhi, you are so easy to be fooled. He has become such a high official now, and the rewards from the court will only be more or less in the future.
Maybe one day I will be granted the title of Marquis by the Prime Minister."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Da Zhi, tell me honestly, did you compromise because of this house and the 10,000 taels of silver?"
"Ahem, no."
Chu Nanzhi frowned a little unreasonably: "Why can't I explain to you, mother? He doesn't have me in his heart. Even if he brings gold and silver in front of me, I will never be happy in this life. The Zhou family is big
Isn't this lady's experience thought-provoking enough? Lin Tingzhen is no more than a clan leader, and Aunt Zhou comes from a wealthy family and has a lot of dowry, but look at what kind of life she has lived these years."
Speaking of the Zhou family, Liu Yun finally had some understanding and took a long breath with a dejected look on her face:
Indeed, it was said that the Zhou family had prepared a dowry of two hundred thousand taels in order to marry the head of the Lin family, but in the end it ended up like this.
Chu Nanzhi said again: "Hasn't mother seriously thought about why the old people in the Lin family can be so unscrupulous? It's because they rely on their royal surname and feel that being a relative of the emperor gives them an inherent advantage.
Gan is not as easy to talk to as our Liu and Chu clan members. Now, Lin Dalang has just taken office. He wants to maintain the peace on the surface and can swallow his anger to please you and his father. What about in the future?
When he becomes a prime minister and becomes a marquis one day and holds great power, do you still think that you can bind him with a marriage contract? Not to mention these hypocritical Lin clan members, even the emperor may not be willing to do so.
Let’s talk.”
Liu Yun was so enlightened by those powerful words that she felt more awake than ever at this moment.
Indeed, a family like the Liu and Chu family cannot even compete with the Qi family, so how can they compete with the Lin royal family in the future.
She has really seen the young and old in the Lin family these days, and there are not many open-minded people.
If her daughter is really bullied by her son-in-law in the future, she may not even have a place to reason.
For a moment, she understood deeply why her daughter wanted to divorce at this time and insisted on opening a restaurant to take the imperial examination. It turned out that she had already been making plans for the future.
She hugged Chu Nan Zhi tightly, buried her head and cried: "My dear Zhi, how come the lives of each of your sisters are so miserable? First it was A Xiang, and now you, it was all because of my mother that I harmed you. If
My mother did not insist on you marrying that heartless man at the beginning, but I followed your own wishes and let you be with Ziqing's child. Even if you are teaching and farming in the village, it will be better than now."
"This is fate, mother does not have to blame herself."
Chu Nanzhi patted her back gently and comforted her in a warm voice: "Axiang is doing well now. As for me, mother, there is no need to worry. I will definitely live a good life. Not only that, I will also
Take good care of you and father."
Moreover, for Wei Ziqing, it was just the original owner's wishful thinking, and she did not think it was a good marriage.
Liu Yun kept choking up as she listened: "Your father and I are already at this age, and we are no better than this. As a mother, I hope that you three sisters can live well, but look at you now.
What's going on? That stinky boy Shu Yang feels a lot more at ease. The young couple just had some hope, and something happened to you again. How can this Heli woman have it so easy? Let's just say that right now, without her son-in-law, just
Those people in the Qi family will not let you get what you want."
"It doesn't matter. If we lose the Lin family, won't we still have the Zhao family?"
Chu Nanzhi explained: "To be honest with my mother, the place where we opened the restaurant is the Zhao family's house, and I also let Zhao Taigong occupy 20% of the shares."
"Tai Gong Zhao? Which Tai Gong Zhao?"
Liu Yun suddenly broke away from her arms and stared at her in confusion.
