Chapter 164 I will bear witness to this.
“That makes sense.” Min Sizhu rubbed her hands together, quite tempted.
Pei Yutang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "I thought she was angry and wanted to attack Yuan'er. I acted impulsively and made a mistake, causing her to be like this. But please rest assured, Princess, I will take good care of Siyue and apologize to her."
Qin Yizhen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Pei Yutang has already hit his wife, causing her to lose their child. What future does he expect?
Qin Yizhen thought of herself and Cheng Yan. Not to mention losing the child, if Cheng Yan dared to lay a hand on her, their relationship would be over.
“There’s no need for such care,” said Lord Min, who had been sitting silently to the side. “I have come today to take Siyue home. I ask the Pei family to prepare a divorce agreement.”
"Impossible." Pei Yutang shook his head immediately, disagreeing with the divorce. "Father-in-law, Siyue and I are truly in love. We finally became husband and wife. How could we possibly get a divorce?"
“Even if my son-in-law is at fault, she is at fault first. Yuan’er is pregnant, how could she lay a hand on Yuan’er?”
"That's right," Lady Changyang chimed in. "She shouldn't have laid a hand on Concubine Yuan. After all, Concubine Yuan is carrying the Pei family's child. Yutang acted impulsively because he was worried about the child, which is understandable!"
"Besides, if their in-laws want them to divorce, they need to agree themselves. Siyue doesn't want to leave..."
"Whether Siyue is willing or not, we'll only know when she wakes up," Madam Min interrupted coldly. "But since you've put it this way, how about we ask the princess to be our witness?"
"What testimony?" Pei Yutang asked.
Madam Min said, "Siyue is the one who has been wronged. Whether she stays or leaves should be Siyue's own decision. If she wants to stay, the Min family will never mention divorce again. But if she wants to return to the Min family, the Changyang Marquis's Mansion will have to give Siyue a divorce agreement."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yutang agreed without much thought: "Okay, I'll do as my mother-in-law says."
In Pei Yutang's view, he and Min Siyue were a loving couple. Even though there were some misunderstandings, Min Siyue loved him to the bone and would never leave him.
He has this confidence.
Qin Yizhen raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled: "Since the Min family and the Pei family have both said so, and trust me so much, I am naturally willing to be their witness."
"If Miss Min wants to stay, the Min family cannot forcibly take her away. If Miss Min wants to divorce and leave, then the Pei family must give Miss Min a divorce agreement and let her leave."
"Since you have asked me to witness and make the decision, you cannot go back on your word. If you dare to go back on your word, you are disrespecting me and going against me."
Lord Min and Madam Min exchanged a glance. Madam Min said, "The entire Min family respects the princess. We beg the princess to make the decision for our daughter. Everything will be done according to her wishes. No one can force her, and we will never go back on our word."
"The Pei family is the same," Pei Yutang said confidently. "There's absolutely no going back on my word."
"Yutang." Lady Changyang felt uneasy.
Pei Yutang reassured her, "Mother, don't worry. My son and Siyue are deeply in love. How could she possibly leave?"
"But last time..."
"Then the son should plead with her again."
Lady Changyang recalled the last time Min Siyue learned that Pei Yutang was keeping a mistress outside and that their child was almost two years old. She cried and wanted a divorce, but when she and Pei Yutang pleaded with her, she softened and stayed. She also felt that Pei Yutang's words made sense.
But for some reason, she felt uneasy.
Qin Yizhen said, "Since neither side will go back on their word, then I will act as witness. No matter the outcome, if anyone goes back on their word, don't blame me for being impolite."
The three members of the Min family breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
In fact, divorce is not an easy thing, especially since Min Siyue is a woman. She wants to divorce and return to her parents' home. If the Changyang Marquis's Mansion does not release her, she doesn't know how long it will take to get the divorce papers.
But now that the princess is a witness, if the Changyang Marquis's mansion tries to renege on its promise and offend the princess, as long as Min Siyue proposes a divorce, they will have to bear the risk of going back on their word and offending the princess.
Thus, not only can Lady Changyang and Pei Yutang not go back on their word, but even if the Earl of Changyang returns, he will not be able to say anything about going back on his word.
The divorce is highly likely to go through.
As for whether Min Siyue will get a divorce, there is absolutely no other possibility; they will definitely get a divorce.
She was heartbroken after being betrayed by her husband last time, and only endured it out of a shred of marital affection. Now, she has been beaten by her husband to the point of rolling down the steps and miscarrying. It would be foolish for her not to leave him.
Qin Yizhen asked Physician Lu, "Physician Lu, when will Miss Min wake up?"
Physician Lu rose, cupped his hands, and replied, "Your Highness, it will be about an hour from now. I don't know the exact time."
“An hour later, that will be just right.” Qin Yizhen glanced at the medicine pot on the stove by the door. “The medicine will be ready just then.”
Qin Yizhen had already learned about the function of the medicine furnace from Lady Changting's few words, and she also knew about the agreement between Lady Min and Pei Yutang before she arrived.
However, to be honest, the Pei mother and son are really a bit foolish.
Lady Changyang was not very assertive. She might have sensed that something was wrong and felt that she couldn't agree to the request, but since Pei Yutang had spoken, she couldn't go against her son.
As for Pei Yutang... he really is a naive, foolish, and self-righteous person.
He still believes he did nothing wrong and that his wife is deeply in love with him, and that she won't leave if he just coaxes her.
Physician Lu couldn't help but remind her, "Princess, I have personally examined this medicine, and it has problems. Since the recipient is a pregnant woman, she absolutely cannot drink it."
"What if we drink it?"
"Perhaps we won't be able to save this child."
Qin Yizhen was slightly startled and sighed inwardly. The child in Aunt Yuan's belly was somewhat innocent, but Min Siyue, who had lost her child, was even more innocent. So, it all depended on his own luck whether Aunt Yuan would take the medicine.
"What? You can't save the child?" Lady Changyang panicked. "Then you definitely can't drink it."
Madam Min said, "Madam Changyang, if this medicine is really problematic, then my son's infertility for three years and the loss of his newly conceived child must mean he was murdered. Please, Madam Changyang, hand over the culprit."
If Aunt Yuan dares to drink this medicine, then there will be no problem and the Min family will no longer pursue the matter. If she doesn't drink it, then Aunt Yuan and Pei Yutang have conspired to cause Min Siyue to be infertile for three years.
“That’s impossible.” Pei Yutang still didn’t believe there was really a problem with the medicine. “Yuan’er is a kind girl, she would never do such a thing. Doctor Lu, don’t talk nonsense and scare people… Yes, just scare people.”
