Chapter 389 The Wife Used as a Shield 11
Chapter 389 The Wife Used as a Shield 11
Chu's mother sent people to the vicinity of Zhou's mansion to inquire about Luo Chen's news, and also planned to bribe Zhou's servants to inquire.
But there was no news at all. The Zhou family didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but the Chu family was extremely anxious.
Because they really had no money left, Chu's mother only had 1,500 taels of silver left, while Chu's father only had 300 taels.
Three shops were given away, and now the Chu family only has two shops and three farms left. They are really poor.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Bilian is fifteen years old and it is time for her to discuss marriage. She should get married at the age of sixteen.
But now their family's reputation and Chu Bilian's own reputation make it impossible for her to marry into a good family.
Therefore, the Chu family urgently needs Luo Chen to come back to clarify the rumors and tell people that the Chu family is not scheming against anyone.
However, the Zhou family's obstruction left the Chu family with no way out.
There was no other way, Chu's mother could only hand the visiting card to Luo Chen's sister-in-law herself, but it was rejected by Liu.
Later, it was handed over three or four times, and Liu had no choice but to take it.
Chu's mother was happy, because this proved that Liu was actually beginning to dislike Zhou staying at home, so it would be easy to deal with.
As long as she took the initiative to ask Zhou to return to the Chu family, Liu would definitely be happy.
When she comes back, watch her deal with that shrew.
When they arrived at Zhou's house and looked at the magnificent decorations, Mother Chu couldn't hide her jealousy at all. Although this was not her first time here, she was still jealous.
"Mrs. Chu, how come you have time to come here today?" Liu didn't even bring a cup of tea.
Mother Chu was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything: "Sister-in-law, why are you so formal? I came here today to take Zhou home. Call her out quickly."
Liu stared at Chu's mother for a long time and said, "My sister and Master Ling have already divorced."
"Oh, it's just a child's quarrel. I have already taught my son a lesson and now I have sent a letter to ask him to come back.
I can understand that Mrs. Zhou was unhappy with my son leaving right after his marriage.
My son Xinghe also thought that since they were married, they should study hard and take the imperial examinations so that they could win an imperial decree for Zhou in the future.
Maybe I didn't make it clear, so Zhou misunderstood and thought my son didn't like her, but in fact Xinghe likes Zhou very much. "Mother Chu kept saying good things.
Liu asked her servants to bring Luo Chen the divorce agreement with the official seal.
"Really? Madam Chu, do you think we are stupid? Our master has found out everything your son did.
When he left, he brought the woman named Wang Meihua with him. When he was studying at Jiangnan Academy, he also brought Wang Meihua with him. The two of them were like a real couple. "
Chu's mother never expected that her son would actually take the peasant girl away with him. She became furious for a moment, but quickly controlled herself because she thought business was more important.
"As a man, there is no way that he doesn't take concubines, but Zhou is always the principal wife, and we won't let anyone surpass her.
Madam Zhou, you are young now and have no children yet. When you have children in the future, you will understand that there is no man who does not take concubines. "
Liu glared at Chu's mother angrily. At this moment, the maid brought the divorce documents and Liu handed them to Chu's mother.
"Look, the official media has already stamped it. My sister has no relationship with your Chu family anymore. Don't try to be related to her in the future."
Mother Chu looked at the bright red seal, her hands shaking a little. On it were her son's notes, and the seal was indeed from the official media.
When was this written? This silly son tore up the divorce letter immediately.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, how can you treat such an important matter as marriage so lightly?
It's just some minor disagreements. If Zhou finds Wang Meihua an eyesore, then I will definitely let my son leave this woman.
If we don’t like the four concubines in the backyard, we will immediately have them have abortions and then sell them off.”
Liu stood up and said, “No need, thanks to you, my sister has returned to her hometown.
My sister is only sixteen years old this year, and she will be eighteen in two years. She is a virgin, and no one knows what is happening here.
Our Zhou family’s hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River. It would be nice to wait for two years and then find a well-off and educated man to marry in our hometown.
Anyway, our Zhou family is over there, and we two are not afraid that our sister will be bullied.
After all, my master is the most promising person in the clan, and for the sake of our family’s protection, the clan will also take good care of my sister.
As for your Chu family, you can handle it on your own. Butler, please see us off."
After saying that, Liu left, and Chu's mother was asked to leave by the servants. Before leaving, Chu's mother still wanted to ask the servants about Luo Chen's news.
The servants also had a unhappy look on their faces, saying that the eldest lady had returned to her hometown and would probably not come back.
Later, Chu's father also asked other people and learned that Luo Chen had indeed been sent back to his hometown.
Zhou Linnan was not in a very good mood during those days, and his subordinates were also trembling with fear. Only then did the Chu family realize that the Zhou family was serious.
He immediately inquired where the Zhou family's clan was, and then sent a letter to Chu Xinghe to inform him of this matter.
Chu Xinghe, who didn't know his wife was gone, was preparing to write a letter to ask for money from his family.
In the past three months, they have almost spent all their money.
Now, with great difficulty, he had established connections with several sons of wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, and was preparing to contact the children of officials through them.
The Chu family has no relatives or connections here, so he can only start with the businessmen and then let them introduce him to the children of officials.
Now is the time to ask for money.
A few days after the letter was sent, Wang Meihua received a letter from home and gave the letter to Chu Xinghe.
"Take a look quickly. Maybe it's a letter of concern from your wife because she misses you." Wang Meihua gave Chu Xinghe a coquettish look.
Chu Xinghe smiled and hugged her into his arms, saying, "You are my wife, how can you call me your wife? You are getting more and more jealous."
"It's all your fault, you're the one attracting so many people.
Since you came to this rich Jiangnan, so many women have thrown themselves at you, and even your family has a woman who misses you. Why don't you take a look at what Zhou wrote to you?"
Chu Xinghe took a look and said, "Little jealous girl, this is my father's notebook. Zhou's letter can't be placed here."
After opening it, Chu Xinghe looked at it and frowned.
Wang Meihua saw that his expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home? Or is there something wrong in Beijing?"
Chu Xinghe said: "After I left, Zhou packed up her things and went back to the official media to divorce me."
Wang Meihua was a little surprised: "Really? She finally left!"
"Yes." Chu Xinghe seemed to have just remembered it at this time.
On the wedding night, he wrote a divorce letter, originally to scare Luo Chen, but he didn't expect that she would really use it to divorce him.
"And my three half-sisters are all married."
Wang Meihua was really happy because this way she could become the eldest lady of the Chu family.
