"Exactly, Xiaxia is right, let me see it."
"I didnât bring it, I donât have it on me." Qian Xiaoqing just wouldnât take it out. Seeing this, Ms. Liu of Wang Family moved to search her body, "What are you doing, you old hag?" Ms. Qian of Wang Family saw Ms. Liu of Wang Family searching her niece without restraint, and hurriedly went to help.
Ms. Wang naturally couldnât just watch the two of them block Ms. Liu of Wang Family, so she called a maid to step forward to help. Amidst the pushing and shoving, the purse hidden in Qian Xiaoqingâs sleeve fell out.
Yang Xiayun immediately rushed over and snatched it, looking it over from left to rightâit was indeed Yang Qingruiâs.
"Burn it," she commanded, "Anything sheâs touched, no one will use again."
"Alas, Iâll go burn it right away!" Yang Xiayun took the item and ran towards the harem. Qian Xiaoqing tried to stop her but couldnât, especially with others still tugging at her.
Ms. Qian of Wang Family saw the situation, the purse was gone, and even the only piece of evidence was no more; now, no matter what Xiaoqing said, it was invalid.
She just sat on the ground, looking as if in mourning, "Youâre all bullying us, your whole family is bullying us! My niece oh, why is your fate so hard, how are you going to live in the future?"
When Yang Chuxia heard her wailing as if someone had died, she couldnât help but feel irritated. Your mother-in-law is right there, why are you wailing as though your mother or mother-in-law has died?
Sure enough, the next moment, Ms. Liu of Wang Family sprang back up.
"Why are you crying? If you want to mourn, roll back to your Wang family to cry. This is my daughterâs home, itâs not your place to cry." Despite her age, Ms. Liu of Wang Family was not one to act ineffectively; it seemed today she was determined to deal with Ms. Qian of Wang Family, "Get out, roll back to your Wang family. Second, go write the divorce letter now. Xiaxia, send someone to help deliver it to the county yamen."
"Dream on if you think you can destroy my grandsonâs family. As long as Iâm alive for one day, your niece wonât marry into our Wang family, not to mention into my daughterâs family."
"Ah Granny, I understand. You girls, why arenât you fetching the writing materials yet?"
"Donât go, donât go." As soon as Ms. Qian of Wang Family heard they were serious, she couldnât care less about Qian Xiaoqing. She herself didnât want to be divorcedâwhere would that leave her face?
"No, you canât divorce me. The children are already so big; if you divorce me, where will I put my face?" Ms. Qian of Wang Family grabbed Wang Yongshan, refusing to let him do anything.
"Ms. Qian, Iâm not pointing fingers, but now you think about your own face. When you wanted Pingtao to divorce his wife, where did you expect her to put her face?" Overhearing her, Ms. Wang couldnât help but feel sorry for her niece-in-law. What kind of situation was this?
"How can that be the same? Iâve given birth to a son; does she have a son?" Ms. Qian of Wang Family finally revealed another reason for wanting her son to divorce his wife.
At this statement, Ms. Liu of Wang Family paused for a moment; the daughter-in-law had indeed been married for several years without providing a great-grandson, which somewhat justified Ms. Qianâs impatience.
"Auntie, letâs not place so much importance on having sons over daughters. The cousin-in-law is still young and not incapable of bearing children. Sooner or later, she can have a son. Moreover, you might not be aware, but cousin-in-law is pregnant again."
People from Wangshui Town have returned with news that Wang Pingtao brought his wife and daughters there, and now his wife is expecting again.
"Really?" Upon hearing that, Ms. Liu of Wang Family immediately pressed her palms together in prayer, "Oh my, thatâs wonderful."
"I knew you hid Pingtao away, you wicked girl, why do you have such a malicious heart, huh?"
