Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Reap What You Sow

“Divorce her?” Xia Lan, having heard what Mr. He said, immediately grew even angrier and couldn’t help but retort, “Divorce me? Do you think this is the old society?”

There was no need for her to continue to flatter Mr. and Mrs. He! Besides, He Qing had been discharged and had no future, so she had to start planning for herself early—after all, they hadn’t even registered their marriage.

“That’s a remnant of feudal thinking!” she angrily said to Mr. He.

She was no longer afraid to break with the He Family.

“You!” Mr. He didn’t expect Xia Lan to dare to talk back.

She always acted so obedient and filial at home!

It was Mrs. He who, with a furious expression, pointed at Xia Lan and cursed, “You little slut, now showing your true colors, huh?”

“Is it me showing true colors, or is it you?” Xia Lan said with disdain.

“You…”

Just as another argument was about to erupt.

“Enough, shut up, all of you!” Unable to listen any longer, Chang Luhui shouted in anger.

Mrs. He instantly lost her voice, and Xia Lan stopped talking too.

The scene suddenly went silent.

“Explain the situation to them,” Chang Luhui ordered his subordinate with a stern face.

Upon receiving the order, the subordinate briefly explained to Mr. and Mrs. He, “Basically, Xia Lan provoked trouble and disturbed public order. Although she didn’t cause any serious consequences, she still has to be detained for fifteen days.”

“Of course, relatives can pay a fine and bail her out.”

Knowing it wasn’t a serious crime, Mr. and Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing about the payment immediately made them discontent.

After a moment’s hesitation, Mr. He, with a sycophantic smile, asked the officer, “Officer, I want to ask, if we don’t bail her out, will this affect my son in the military?”

The implication being, if it wouldn’t impact him, they didn’t plan on paying.

Xia Lan was smart enough to understand the hidden message in Mr. and Mrs. He’s words and asked them, dissatisfied, “What do you mean by that?”

Mr. He’s eyes flickered as he said, “We just gave a sum of money to He Qing in Provincial City, we have no money left at home.”

“What do you mean there’s no money left? What about my dowry? If you really have no money, then sell my dowry!” Xia Lan said through gritted teeth, exploding with anger.

“You little slut, what are you talking about? What kind of new bride sells her own dowry!” Mrs. He took over, directly cursing, “If the house has no money, it has no money! It still needs to be kept for your husband’s use in the military!”

Hearing this, Xia Lan couldn’t hold back anymore and scoffed, “Kept for military use? I think you’re dreaming! Let me tell you, He Qing has already been discharged by the military!”

This stirred up a huge reaction.

“What did you say?” Both Mr. and Mrs. He exclaimed in disbelief.

“Hmph, yes, you heard right, He Qing has been discharged by the military!” Xia Lan scoffed again and said, “You think I went to Xia Chuyi for no reason?”

“It’s because of He Qing being discharged, that little slut messed with it…”

“Watch your language!” Chang Luhui, hearing Xia Lan insulting someone, immediately scolded her, his gaze involuntarily glancing toward Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi, who had been quietly watching the drama unfold from a corner, stood with her arms crossed, utterly composed.

“You’re here too?” Xia Lan’s face turned extremely ugly when she saw her.

Mr. and Mrs. He also saw her.

“Officer, this is her sister!” Mr. He quickly pointed at Xia Chuyi and said, “This is Xia Lan’s sister; let her pay the fine, she has money!”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Lan’s eyes shot towards him like daggers, “What did you say?”

Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: This is the marriage Xia Lan had fought so hard to snatch from her own hands.

You reap what you sow; it’s your own doing.
