Mother Li just smiled at her reaction, and immediately ordered two cups of tea to be served, and said warmly to Li Yaoguang and Qiu Ju: "Qiu Ju is from the house and has been waiting in front of me. How do you feel about it?"
, I know best and will never be as unreasonable as some people. Today things are in a hurry, so those red tapes will be dispensed with. You two have poured tea and kowtowed to me, and this Qiu Ju can be considered a member of our Li family."
Li Yaoguang no longer knew what to say. Today's matter was simply a mess. It was not up to him to decide whether to take concubines or not. Alas.
Qiu Ju didn't have as many worries as he did. The old lady's words gave her already despairing heart a glimmer of hope again. Looking at the tea cup brought to her, she only hesitated for a moment before picking up the tea cup and facing Mrs. Li.
Kneel down.
"Yao'er, what are you doing there? Kneel down!" Seeing Li Yaoguang's hesitation, Mother Li knew that he was worried about Yilan, because Qiu Ju's matter was originally agreed upon, and he also agreed.
The hesitation must be because of Yilan. Seeing that Li Yaoguang still didn't move, she became more and more unhappy. She coughed heavily and said angrily: "Don't you even listen to my mother's words?"
Li Yaoguang's father died young, but it was his mother who worked hard to raise him and worked day and night. She used the money she earned to support his education and for him to go to Beijing to take the exam. Therefore, as soon as Li Yaoguang passed the imperial examination, he took his mother to the capital.
He is filial and is known as a filial son.
"Son, I don't dare." As he said this, Li Yaoguang took a deep look at Yilan, who had a frosty face, raised his hand to take the tea cup that had been served for a long time, and knelt side by side with Qiu Ju in front of the old lady.
"Mom, drink tea." Following Li Yaoguang's words, Qiu Ju quickly served tea to Li's mother and said with a blushing face: "Mom, drink tea."
"Okay!" Mother Li finally cleared the clouds and nodded with a smile. She reached out and was about to take the tea they offered, when a figure suddenly rushed over and knocked over the tea cup they were holding.
Li's mother picked up the blank.
Who else would do this except Yilan? Mother Li couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Yilan on the face hard. She used all her strength to do this.
Bright red fingerprints were clearly printed on Yilan's fair face.
Yilan didn't expect that the old lady would hit her, and she was stunned at the moment. When she came to her senses, all the accumulated anger surged up. Before anyone could react, she raised her hand and hit her.
The moment the hand and face touched, a crisp slap echoed throughout the small front hall, followed by the sound of a twisted silver hairpin falling to the ground...
Her actions shocked everyone so much that their eyes almost popped out. It was normal for a mother-in-law to hit her daughter-in-law. In this matter, Mother Li had already settled her temper and endured it until now; but when the daughter-in-law slapped her mother-in-law, this...
...This...this kind of thing is something even today’s princesses don’t dare to do.
"Are you crazy?!" Li Yaoguang was the first to react. He stepped forward and grabbed Yilan's hand and asked loudly. His voice contained anger for the first time. His mother had suffered a lot for him to have a future.
It was not easy to enjoy the happiness in the new year, but Yilan actually hit someone.
Yilan stared at him without showing any signs of weakness, "Yes, I am crazy, so what? Who asked her to force her to take a concubine for you? I said that if you have me, you, Li Yaoguang, will never even think of taking a concubine."
"
In fact, even Yilan herself couldn't figure out why she was so resistant to Qiu Ju or other women coming in. She didn't have the kind of life-and-death love for Li Yaoguang, but just plain love. She had lived like this for more than ten years.
, but she just didn’t allow anyone to get involved in this plainness, not even his own mother.
After Qiu Ju and others came to their senses, they all gathered around Mother Li to look at the injuries on her face. They found signs of swelling on her face. Qiu Ju said in a panic: "Old madam, I will cook you some."
Apply eggs to your face." In fact, applying ice is the best, but where can I find ice at this time?
"No need." Mother Li pushed her messy hair behind her ears one by one, then stared at Yilan and sneered: "Very good, I didn't expect that the first slap in my life's life was to bow to my old lady.
A gift from my daughter-in-law; I remember when Yaoer’s father was here, he never touched a finger on me, Niu Hulu Yilan, you are so brave.”
Seeing that Yilan showed no regrets at all, the coldness on her face became deeper and deeper, and she said word by word: "Didn't you just say that without you, my Yao'er would never have a concubine? Okay, I will do as you wish!"
"
Before Yilan could understand the meaning of this sentence, she had already turned to Li Yaoguang, whose face was ashen and said: "Yao'er, write a letter of divorce. Our Li family cannot afford such a shrew. The reason for divorce is that she disobeys her parents.
Childless, jealous, and talkative."
The four clauses mentioned by Li's mother all come from seven sources. Normally, one could divorce his wife. Now Yilan suddenly had four clauses. As long as the divorce was written, she would be kicked out of Li's house immediately.
Although Li Yaoguang hated Yilan for slapping his mother, he was married to his wife after all. When he heard the word divorce, he couldn't help but plead for her: "Mom, although Yilan has something wrong, it's not like divorce."
It’s serious. It’s better to let her make amends to her mother, and then her son will slowly discipline her.”
"If she was willing to obey your discipline, she wouldn't be so arrogant and invisible now. Yao'er, if you still call me mother, write a letter of divorce immediately, and then mother will marry a better one for you."
The burning pain constantly reminded Li's mother of the humiliation she suffered today, and her attitude was determined and there was no room for change.
Li Yaoguang didn't expect things to develop to this point. He glanced at Yilan hatefully. If she hadn't been too stubborn and refused to give in, how could she have caused such a disaster. Divorce his wife, alas,
Once she is divorced, Yilan can return to her parents' home.
I was afraid that I was sad, but after thinking about it, I still couldn't bear it, so I tried to persuade her again: "Mom, Yilan is the sister-in-law of Concubine Xi. If we abandon her like this, I'm afraid Concubine Xi will not look good on her.
If she blames her, our family will not be able to bear it."
"Humph, I believe that Concubine Xi is a sensible person and will not blame others randomly. Besides, if she really wants to blame me, I will bear the responsibility. In short, this woman is dead today; if you don't
If you write, I will hit my head against this wall and die." As she said that she was going to hit her, Mother Li also became cruel. She has suffered such humiliation for a long time. If Yilan is not dealt with, this old face will be like this in the future.
Where to put it.
These words frightened Li Yaoguang so much that he hurriedly held her back. Faced with Li's mother's death wish, he painfully and helplessly agreed to divorce his wife.
Divorce your wife...
Yilan stared at Li Yaoguang and her son, biting her lower lip, refusing to let go even though she had tasted the salty taste in her mouth, letting the salty taste pass through her throat and flow into her belly.
The pen and ink were brought up, and Li Yaoguang tremblingly picked up the pen, which seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pens, and wrote the words "letter of divorce" on the paper.
