Without the most basic trust between husband and wife, it is simply impossible to be truly intimate.
Zhang Mingli's expression changed several times. When the two were an unmarried couple, their relationship became deeper and deeper, and they both had some expectations for the future. When they first got married, they were as good as honey mixed with oil. The love was strong.
At that time, he promised to live as a couple for the rest of his life and never take any concubines again.
Looking at it more closely, it is true that he can't help her.
"Pisces, Meiyu is my cousin, and I don't want to accept her. This is not the reason for you to betray me!"
Chu Yunli nodded: "As a married couple, we have a good time together. Can we get together and go away?"
At this moment, her complexion had turned pale, and the blood under her body was accumulating more and more. Everyone was not blind, so naturally they all saw it.
Zhang Mingli looked complicated and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Mr. Zhang didn't have so many worries: "It's just a daydream for you to steal people outside and still want to escape unscathed. I only have a letter of divorce, do you want it or not?"
He turned his head and told his son: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and write."
Zhang Mingli hesitated a little, but still walked into the house step by step.
Chu Yunli felt cramps in her abdomen, and she couldn't help but hold on to her clothes in pain.
Father Zhao couldn't figure out whether his daughter had stolen someone. However, seeing his daughter in such pain, it was his father's heart that got the upper hand. He stepped forward in two steps, but couldn't help him. He turned around and glared at Zhang.
master
: "Even if my daughter is no longer your Zhang family's wife, aren't you afraid of killing someone? Hurry up and find a doctor to check your pulse. If you need to take the medicine, take the medicine. Don't tell me you don't want to give birth to this child, and I don't want to give birth to it either. I won't.
Just let him live."
Mr. Zhang glanced at the steward.
The steward left quickly.
However, it seemed as if I was stuck by something during my trip. I didn't see anyone coming back for a long time, and naturally there was no sign of the doctor.
Before the doctor came, Zhang Mingli had already come out of the room with a piece of paper with wet ink on it, and slapped it directly in front of Chu Yunli: "Put it away!"
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes and looked at the charges listed above. She was not said to be a playboy, but she was said to be unfilial to her elders, not generous, intolerant, and not obedient enough.
Her face remained as usual: "Zhang Mingli, there is no need to save face for me. I don't recognize what you said, because I am not such a person. You divorced me because I stole someone. You can tell the truth. I am not afraid of embarrassment."
.”
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Even Father Zhao, who quietly tugged on his daughter's sleeve.
Chu Yunli turned her head and looked at him: "Dad, I have done nothing wrong, and I will not admit any crime. They forced me to do this, and if they want to divorce me, they must give me a real reason.
"
"Okay. Since you don't want face, I won't keep it for you." Zhang Mingli roughly tore the piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, threw it away, and strode into the room, this time much faster than before, but only a few seconds later.
After taking a breath, he came out again and slapped a piece of paper in front of Chu Yunli with more force than before.
Chu Yunli smiled: "Dad, take it, we're leaving now."
Father Zhao had a complex expression on his face: "Pisces, you have to think carefully about going out..." It will not be easy to come back again.
He wiped his face: "Your father and I are a scholar, and I have raised a daughter who was divorced for stealing. This is a good thing to say and a bad thing to say. Then...you have to understand me. When I get home, I will find another one for you."
Live in a courtyard."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I understand."
What Father Zhao values most in his life is his reputation.
Seeing his daughter being so well-behaved, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Then...I'll go find a carriage..."
"I'll have someone send you off." Mr. Zhang immediately answered: "It's fate that our two families can get married. I hope you won't talk nonsense after you go out."
Chu Yunli sneered: "Zhang Mingli's wife and concubine were pregnant at the same time and left at the same time. If you want to avoid being discussed, I think you are just daydreaming."
This is a fact. The Zhang family's father and son don't look very good-looking.
Things happened so quickly that after they learned the truth, they just got angry and didn't have time to think about the future. After hearing this, Mr. Zhang felt aggrieved, and Zhang Mingli's face was already livid.
Chu Yunli forced herself to walk to the door, and Duofu hurriedly came forward to help her. As a servant, it was difficult for her to comment at such times, and she did not even dare to get too close.
Father Zhao hurriedly chased after him.
When the father and daughter walked to the door, Mr. Zhang suddenly said: "You have no place to live when you go out, why not stay here first?"
Chu Yunli stopped at his feet.
Father Zhao approached his daughter and whispered: "Pisces, what do you mean?" He was afraid that his daughter would not understand, so he added: "I feel a little uneasy living outside with you alone. But living here... Wan
Once they bully you, I am beyond my reach. Whether you want to stay or not is up to you."
Chu Yunli looked back at the Zhang family and his son, half-smiling but not smiling: "What if I don't leave and you misunderstand me and want to stay and pester me?"
"No!" Zhang Mingli emphasized: "I will not see you again, nor will I go to your yard."
Mr. Zhang continued: "You should move in first. Things happened so quickly that you probably haven't had time to discuss the future with people outside. It won't be too late to move out when you decide when to get married."
It doesn't matter whether Chu Yunli stays or not. One of Zhao Shuangyu's wishes is to completely cut off the relationship with the Zhang family, but she died in an unclear manner... Chu Yunli must leave, but before that, he must find out who the murderer is.
who.
"Then, I stay here as a guest, and I help Zhang Mingli maintain his reputation. From now on, you Zhang family members are not allowed to break into my yard at will, nor are you allowed to yell at me and boss me around."
Zhang Mingli's face turned ugly: "Don't push yourself too far!"
Chu Yunli sneered: "Then I leave?"
Zhang Mingli: "..." Still can't really drive people away.
Zhou Meiyu was more than four months pregnant. Many people had heard that the Zhang family was about to have a baby. After she explained the truth, she moved out of the Zhang family that day. If the news of divorcing his wife came out at this time, coupled with Zhao
If the child in Pisces' belly is gone, there will definitely be rumors outside.
We really can't underestimate those talkative women outside. With this little bit of information, they can piece together what they really want to know.
Zhang Mingli knew that he was embarrassed, but he still hoped that fewer people would laugh at him and that those unsavory things would be spread out later.
Seeing that his son was embarrassed to ask him to stay, Mr. Zhang said, "I promise you."
When Father Zhao left, he saw his pale-faced daughter leaning on Duofu. He felt very uneasy. He walked all the way and ran back: "Pisces, let's go! At worst, if you live with me at home, if people outside ask questions, just say you."
After giving birth, I returned to my parents’ home to recuperate.”
"No need." Chu Yunli can understand the persistence of some people in this world, such as Zhao's father's ambition for the imperial examination. He will never allow anyone to influence him unless necessary.
"Don't worry, dad, I'll be fine."
Father Zhao was a little impulsive when he ran back. When he said these words, he felt a little regretful and was afraid that his daughter would really agree. Seeing that she refused, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing Father Zhao off, Chu Yunli turned around and said, "So, where will I live now?"
It is naturally inappropriate to live in the courtyard where Zhang Mingli was married.
"Live in a side hospital." Mr. Zhang said seriously: "You can stay as long as you like. But...it will be inconvenient if you want to see outsiders."
"Except for my parents, no one can see me." Chu Yunli turned around: "Then, I will go back first..."
She fell headlong.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear the pain and fainted, but sometimes she had to be more vulnerable. There was no need to force herself to suffer.
Duofu exclaimed, and after Mr. Zhang realized what he was doing, he immediately ordered the two women to come forward to help. Chu Yunli felt relieved and let herself faint.
When I woke up again, it was already dusk. Duofu fell asleep lying in front of the bed, with tears all over his face.
Chu Yunli reached out and touched her face.
Duofu woke up immediately and saw her waking up: "Girl, are you hungry? There is no other waiter in this yard. Just now, the servant went to the big kitchen to get some chicken soup. Do you want to drink some?"
"Call me sister." Chu Yunli looked at the sunset on the horizon: "I am no longer the wife of the Zhang family, you don't have to follow those rules."
Duofu was speechless: "Sister, don't be too sad."
"Why are you sad?" Chu Yunli said with a smile: "I am still so young. I have clearly seen the true face of the Zhang family and will no longer be bullied by them. This is a good thing. I should be happy."
Duofu brought chicken soup and a bowl of medicine.
The soup is an ordinary soup, but this medicine... is very harmful to the body. If I drink two more bowls, I will never have a baby in my life.
Chu Yun picked up the pear and drank it all in one gulp.
Duofu was a little nervous: "Sister, do you feel uncomfortable in any way? This medicine...slave...I'm afraid someone may have tampered with it."
"It's okay." Chu Yunli reassured her: "The Zhang family won't kill me at this time. They still need me to cover Zhang Mingli."
Just at this moment, there were footsteps approaching from outside.
There was only one master and servant in the yard. Duofu became nervous instantly and rushed to the door. When she saw clearly who was coming, she suddenly looked surprised: "Aunt Yu?"
Zhou Meiyu held her belly and corrected with a smile: "You want to call me cousin."
Duofu didn't look good. He was also stealing. His girl was still the mistress, and she was just a concubine. The former was tortured to the point of losing her breath, and was not tolerated by her mother's family, so she had to stay here and suffer injustice. But the latter could keep it.
Don't talk about the child, you stay with your lover in two places, live happily, and you can even come and go as you please.
Zhou Meiyu said, pushed Duofu away and went inside.
Duofu came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Cousin, my sister just drank medicine and lay down. It's not good to disturb her at this time."
"I'm here to visit her, and I'll be leaving soon." Zhou Meiyu has always been used to doing whatever she wants, and doesn't pay attention to a maid at all. She just walks to the bedside and says, "She's very energetic, so I didn't bother her.
arrive."
She looked at Chu Yunli, smiled and asked, "Sister, do you think so?"
Chu Yunli was half leaning on the bed, with a calm expression on her face: "My sister is in the Zhao family. But there is no sister who would be proud of being married and stealing from someone else."
"You..." Although Zhou Meiyu was able to escape unscathed, this matter was disgraceful after all, and she still didn't like anyone to mention it in front of her. She sneered and asked deliberately: "You have such a good relationship with your cousin, why would he?"
Didn’t I intercede for you?”
This is simply a stab in Zhao Shuangyu’s heart.
Chu Yunli looked sideways at her.
Zhou Meiyu seemed to be in a good mood and waved away the maids around her. Duofu naturally refused to leave and insisted on staying by her side. She didn't mind and moved slightly closer: "How does it feel to be forced to have an abortion by the child's father?"
?”
Chu Yunli's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhou Meiyu covered her lips with her hands and giggled.
Duofu suddenly realized: "Did you harm my sister?" She opened her mouth and shouted: "Come on, someone, my sister was wrongly accused and was framed."
Zhou Meiyu said calmly: "Several doctors have said that my cousin cannot have a baby. Even if you call everyone here and bring it to court, no one will believe you."
Her tone was light and airy. After hearing this, Duofu's chest heaved with anger and he stopped whining.
Because she understood that Zhou Meiyu's words were true, and with the testimony of several doctors, even if everyone in the world came, no one would feel that her girl was wronged.
Chu Yunli asked: "From the day you gave it to us, I have never felt sorry for you and always gave in. Why don't you let me go? Why do you do this to me?"
"I'm happy." Zhou Meiyu said, then sneered: "Do you want to embarrass me?"
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his hand, picked up the bowl beside the bed and smashed it over.
The two were so close that Zhou Meiyu was hit hard, and a big bump suddenly swelled on her forehead. She exclaimed, stretched out her hand to touch the injury, and felt that the bump instantly swelled a lot. She screamed
: "How dare you?"
Chu Yunli's tone was ordinary: "I forgot to tell you. I used to tolerate you everywhere, not because I was afraid of you. What I was really afraid of was the Zhang family mother and son. I was afraid that my mother-in-law would make things difficult for me, and I was afraid that Zhang Mingli would be angry with me because of this. Now I
No longer a member of the Zhang family,
"I don't care what they think of me, Zhang Mingli hates me even more. In this case, I don't have to tolerate it anymore." She mocked: "If you don't believe it, you can file a complaint now. They all hate me anyway, and they don't care about this more."
It’s a big deal!”
She reminded: "You'd better stay away from me, otherwise if I slash your face with the scissors, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky."
Her tone was light, but her words were extremely cautious. Zhou Meiyu was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
After she had finished retreating, she remembered that she had been frightened by someone she had always looked down on, and she suddenly became angry: "Don't think that you can get back together with your cousin if you stay. I tell you, as long as I am around, this kind of thing will happen
It will never happen.”
"Are you jealous of me?" Chu Yunli said firmly: "Actually, you were expecting Zhang Mingli's favor in your heart, right? You liked him, otherwise you wouldn't have married him. It's a pity that he only has eyes for me, so you framed me.
, let us husband and wife turn against each other."
Zhou Meiyu's thoughts were correct and she took a step back again: "These are just your guesses. However, I really can't stand your sweetness. Now is the time!"
Her face was full of malice: "By the way, I especially want to ask, do you feel uncomfortable being misunderstood by the man you love, being given abortion pills by him, and being given a divorce letter by him?"
For Zhao Shuangyu, after all this happened, she simply felt worse than death.
But Chu Yunli was relatively calm about this. She already knew what kind of person Zhang Mingli was and knew that all this was a conspiracy. There was nothing to be angry about, let alone feeling uncomfortable.
"Did I dig your ancestral graves in my previous life?"
Zhou Meiyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "You don't need a reason to hate someone. On the third day after I came here, my cousin stayed in my room because of my aunt's face. I heard that you were unwell.
You had already taken off your clothes and went to bed, but you still left me to visit you... At that time, I secretly swore that I would teach you a lesson."
Chu Yunli still looked calm and asked: "Do you dare to tell your aunt these true words?"
Of course I wouldn't dare.
Zhou Meiyu would not hide what she had done, but she relied on the fact that no one believed Zhao Shuangyu's words.
Chu Yunli also understands this truth. If she tells the Zhang family that all this is Zhou Meiyu's plan, then everyone in the Zhang family will feel that this is her slander, and the purpose is not to leave.
In fact, Chu Yunli no longer wanted to talk to the Zhang family.
After finding out the truth, just throw it in their faces. Chu Yunli always felt that Zhou Meiyu was not the murderer, and there should be other inside stories.
Zhou Meiyu snorted coldly: "Go ahead and say it!"
"I don't want to say it." Chu Yunli suddenly jumped up, lifted the quilt and wrapped the person, then knocked the person down, picked up the chair and threw it on her.
Zhou Meiyu was hit so hard that she screamed repeatedly.
Such a loud noise frightened Duofu, who had been waiting at the door, and also alarmed the maid outside.
When the maid broke in, she saw a slender woman with a pale face who had just given birth, carrying a chair and hitting the person on the ground under the quilt. She was so cruel, as if she wanted to kill someone.
She was a little frightened, but she didn't dare not to save her master: "Stop it quickly."
Chu Yunli hit it twice more.
The maid didn't dare to step forward, for fear that the chair would fall on her in the next moment. Seeing that the person in front of her was disobedient, she asked Duofu: "Hurry up and stop me!"
Duofu dared to step forward, but when she saw her cousin hitting people, she felt particularly happy. In the past, Aunt Jade was doing whatever she wanted on top of the master and servant, but now that the situation was reversed... she didn't want to step forward to stop her for the time being.
Seeing that Duofu refused to help, the maid turned around and ran out.
Chu Yunli was tired of smashing, so he threw away the fallen chair, found another quilt and sat back on the bed, covering it well.
At this time, the maid finally came back, with a group of people behind her.
Mrs. Zhang ran at the front, and when she saw Zhou Meiyu with blood on her head under the quilt on the ground, she was startled: "Please call the doctor quickly."
Zhou Meiyu was wrapped up so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her whole body ached. When she was pulled out of the quilt, she really felt as if she had died for a time. She was finally able to speak. She pointed with trembling fingers.
Person on the bed: "It was her...she hit me."
After talking about it, I broke down in tears.
Chu Yunli glanced at her: "Mrs. Zhang, we have an agreement beforehand. I live in this courtyard, and no one is allowed to come in without my permission. She came over to talk about all kinds of things, and ridiculed me in all kinds of ways..."
Mrs. Zhang was furious: "This is not the reason for you to be harsh on her."
Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "She said it was me who did it, so it must be?" She pretended to be weak and pulled the quilt: "When a woman is pregnant, it is easy to kill two people. Even if it goes well, we must take good care of it.
It’s been taking a long time, I just drank the medicine yesterday, and now it’s hard to even raise my hands.”
She shook her head: "That's right. Anyway, you believe whatever she says. Everything I say is all lies."
Hearing this, Zhou Meiyu screamed: "Did I inflict this injury on myself?"
"In order to drive me out of the Zhang family, when will you not be able to do it?" Chu Yunli looked calmly: "The maid you brought has been busy for a long time, and she is loyal."
What fell into other people's ears was the maid's move. Everything was staged by Zhou Meiyu. The purpose was to make the Zhang family completely disgusted with Zhao Shuangyu, and then ask people to drive him away.
Mrs. Zhang was dubious. In the past, she loved her niece very much. But since her niece was dishonest and stole people, and even confessed the matter to her and wanted to stay with her lover, she had to compromise for the sake of her family.
By that time, I no longer loved my niece, but was filled with resentment.
Furthermore, what can’t a woman do who can still live with someone after getting married?
Zhou Meiyu was keenly aware of the change in her aunt's expression, and she felt aggrieved: "Aunt, she beat someone and made up nonsense. Please teach her a lesson."
Mrs. Zhang looked at her: "You said you wanted to take a walk in the yard, why did you come here?"
Zhou Meiyu: "..." Is this important?
The point is that she was beaten!
She was still hurt so badly that her chest heaved with anger, and suddenly she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. Her expression changed: "Aunt, I think I have fetal force, please call a doctor quickly!"
Chu Yunli said: "The chair just hit you, but it didn't hit your stomach."
Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Don't pretend!"
Zhou Meiyu: "..." I still can't explain clearly.
She turned and glared at Chu Yunli: "Zhao Shuangyu, your ability to confuse right and wrong is really great. I underestimated you before."
"Confusing right and wrong, isn't that what you like to do?" Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Mrs. Zhang, your niece is not an honest person. It is true that she stole people. It is also true that she slandered Zhang Mingli as being infertile.
Really, we were all deceived by her."
Just as Zhou Meiyu said, Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it at all.
"Zhao Shuangyu, don't think that because you still live here, you may still be a member of my Zhang family. You have been divorced by my son and are now an abandoned wife. Stop daydreaming."
Chu Yunli nodded: "You are just dreaming if you want me to stay and continue to be Zhang's wife."
