Chapter 265: Li's Collision with the Pillar
Chapter 265: Li's Collision with the Pillar
Everyone in the old house was shocked when they heard that Li had spread rumors and slandered Ruan Qingqing.
"How dare she? What good will it do her to tarnish Qingqing's reputation?" Old Master Ruan was so angry that he spent half a quarter of an hour looking for the cigarette holder before he put it in his mouth.
"Dad, this third sister-in-law is really making a fuss! Not to mention that Qingqing is now the lord of Sancheng. Even if she is an ordinary citizen, as her aunt, you cannot slander your own niece like this. Those words are really filthy, how can she have the nerve to spread them!" Liu's face was full of anger.
"She is just a little bit ignorant, and Qingqing treated her well. But just because Qingqing didn't agree to let Guigeer go to Qingqing's jurisdiction to be an official, she teamed up with outsiders to slander and retaliate against Qingqing. She didn't think about the fact that we are all in the same boat, and slandering Qingqing is actually slandering our Ruan family. If Qingqing's reputation is ruined, how can the reputation of our Ruan family be good? I really don't know what she is thinking about every day?"
Ruan Wanjin just felt it was incredible.
"Dad, I'd better ask my third brother for his opinion on this matter. However, I think the punishment can't be too light, otherwise everyone will follow suit and how can our Ruan family rise up? Years of hard work are not enough for this kind of harm from my third brother's wife!"
Ruan Wanyin frowned.
Zhang stammered a few times, but finally said nothing.
Ruan Wangang sat in the corner with his head down, like a criminal who had committed a crime. When he heard himself being mentioned, he raised his head and looked over with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"If Third Sister-in-law does this, even if Qingqing kills her, we won't be able to do anything. You have to know that Qingqing is the ruler of three cities. Doesn't she want dignity and a good reputation?" Ruan Wanxi sneered.
Ruan Wangang's lips trembled, and he closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind, "Dad, I ask to divorce Li."
His voice immediately made the scene quiet.
After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Mr. Ruan asked, "Old Third, have you made up your mind?"
"I've thought about it. I can't let her harm our descendants in the future." Ruan Wangang said dejectedly.
All that responded to him were the flickering of sparks and the clicking sound of cigarettes.
After a long while, Mr. Ruan's hoarse voice finally came out. "Okay!"
In the ancestral hall, Li, who had been kneeling all night and thought she could go home, was a little confused when she received Ruan Wangang's divorce letter at first, and even thought that Ruan Wangang was joking with her. After all, no matter how she made trouble at home, Ruan Wangang would only yell at her a few times, and never said he wanted to divorce her.
"Dad, your joke is not funny at all! Don't make it again in the future!"
"I'm serious. You have such a vicious mind. Just because Qingqing didn't meet one of your requests, you completely disregarded the kindness Qingqing had shown us in the past and teamed up with outsiders to slander her. You are also a woman. Don't you know how important reputation is to a girl? Where is your conscience for doing this? You are Qingqing's biological aunt!" Ruan Wangang questioned her loudly.
"Why am I doing this? I am doing this so that our children can have a bright future!"
Lee knelt up straight and retorted.
"Are you so heartless just for the sake of your children's success? My Ruan family can't afford a vicious woman like you!" Ruan Wangang turned his head and prepared to leave.
"Ruan Wangang, you have no right to divorce me! I have given birth to your children without any credit but with much hard work! What's more, I am Fu Ge'er's biological mother!" Li used Ruan Shifu to threaten Ruan Wangang.
"Mom, since you know you are my biological mother, you should be more cautious in your moral behavior!" A rough male voice came from outside.
Li's eyes lit up at first, "Brother Fu, you're back early!" Then she thought of what he had just said, and her face fell, "Why don't you want to be my mother anymore?"
Ruan Shifu shook his head. "Mom, when the plague was rampant, who helped me run away with my second brother? When you were almost caught by the soldiers, who helped you lead the soldiers away and went looking for you? Have you forgotten all this?
Don't you want your children to be successful? Then how did I get such agile skills?
Wasn’t it Third Sister who taught it so that everyone could survive the disaster?
Without strong skills, how can a farm boy like me survive the battle?
Why did General Ling choose me and keep me by his side to provide careful guidance?
It’s because we know some Kung Fu!
My own mother colluded with outsiders to slander my sister, who was like a benefactor to me.
Mother, who are you being worthy of? Is this how you do it for us?
Is it because we are afraid that no one will come to poke us in the back?"
"Brother Fu..." Li stammered in a daze.
"Mom, tell me, who are you being unfair to by doing this?" Ruan Shifu asked her with a face full of grief and indignation.
"I...I!" Li stood up and tried to explain herself hastily, but because she had been kneeling for too long, she fell to the ground before she could stand up straight.
"Mom, you disappoint me so much! You used to be petty, greedy, and mean, and we put up with all that. You shouldn't have lost your conscience!" Ruan Shifu's eyes were filled with forbearance, tears welling up in his eyes.
When Ruan Shifu saw Ruan Wan Tie, he immediately ran up to him. "Fourth uncle, I apologize to Third Sister on behalf of my mother. I will cut off one of my arms to compensate her."
As he said this, he quickly pulled out the knife from his waist and chopped at his left hand.
Before Ruan Wantie could make any move, Li rushed over first, grabbed his right hand, and almost hung on Ruan Shifu's arm.
"Fu'er, please don't! This is my fault, how can I let you bear the consequences?" Li hugged Ruan Shifu's arm and cried bitterly, "Fu'er, I was wrong! I will never do it again! Don't hurt yourself."
She looked at Ruan Wantie while crying, "Old Four, if you want to punish someone, punish me! Everyone has their own responsibilities, you can even cut off my hands and feet! I won't say no."
"Third sister-in-law, Fu Ge'er said he cut off his arm, and you are so heartbroken? When you spread rumors about my daughter, why didn't you think that it might ruin her life? Why didn't you think that we, as parents, would be hurt? You are both parents with children, how could you be so cruel to do such a heartless thing?"
Wang pointed at Li with trembling fingers and questioned.
"Fourth brother's wife, I'm too blinded by greed. I'm sorry to Qingqing and you all!" Li staggered and stood up, holding on to Ruan Shifu's arm.
She smiled bitterly and looked at Ruan Shifu deeply.
Such an outstanding son of hers can be without a mother, but he cannot have a mother with a tainted body!
After realizing this, she slammed into the pillar next to her.
Ruan Shifu, who noticed the movement, immediately went forward to pull it, but failed.
Blood flowed from Li's forehead.
"Brother Fu, mother was wrong! I will pay for it with my life, so don't hurt yourself!" After saying this, Li fainted.
"Doctor!" Ruan Shifu yelled with almost all his strength.
"General, I'll go and invite you right away." A soldier outside the door responded.
Zhao, who was standing by, had never seen such a scene before. She had knelt all night and was now cold and hungry. She was so frightened that she went crazy on the spot.
