In the end, Liu Cuier decided to agree to be divorced, but she asked the Liu family and his wife to write an IOU, owing one hundred taels of silver.
At first, the Liu family not only disagreed, they were so angry that they cursed Liu Cuier for being a lion and taking advantage of the situation, blaming her for not being merciful at all.
Liu Xiaolian also said that she was just dreaming, that she had misjudged her, that she would let her brother know her true face in the future, and that their family could not afford a hundred taels at all.
However, Liu Cuier looked determined to get money and was not moved by their anger at all.
After all, she was about to be divorced, and of course she had to think about herself. If Liu Ce and Miss Yun got along well in the future, the Liu family would definitely earn more than a hundred taels. She gave this opportunity, and of course she wanted a little benefit.
This choice ultimately rests with Liu Cuier. Even for the safety of their son, the Liu family had no choice but to agree in the end.
But one hundred taels was too much, and the Liu family couldn't help but bargain, but Liu Cuier refused to give in, and the good relationship they had had was completely worn away.
On this day, the Liu family couple and Liu Cuier handed over the divorce letter with one hand and the IOU with the other.
After taking the IOU, Liu Cuier no longer stayed with the Liu family, and quickly left despite the disdain of the Liu family.
The Liu family couple and Liu Xiaolian were full of excitement and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion with the divorce papers, feeling that this time they would definitely go as they wished.
However, when they actually arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they discovered that the concierge had just seen them this time and was urging them to leave quickly. Not only did he not help them pass on the message, he even refused to let them stay at the door any longer.
Even if they sacrificed Liu Ce, it would be useless. They would not be able to enter the house at all, let alone see Miss Yun.
The Liu family was panicked, completely panicked.
Liu's mother squeezed the handkerchief tightly and walked back and forth: "What should we do? We divorced Cui'er. We, A Ce, have no wife now. Why doesn't Miss Yun see us? Doesn't she want to marry A Ce? Why doesn't she see us?"
Father Liu's face was also full of confusion: "If she doesn't see us, what will Ace do?"
Liu Xiaolian couldn't help shouting: "Do you know who we are? We are relatives of the person Miss Yun likes. Miss Yun will marry my brother in the future. If you anger me, I will let Miss Yun Drive you away and sell them all."
The Liu family couple looked at each other and felt courage in their hearts.
Father Liu made a serious face: "I am your young lady's future father-in-law. Why don't you hurry in and report?"
The concierge really laughed at this: "You really don't know how high the world is. Who is your brother? Is he worthy of being liked by our young ladies? You're going to pay me back to my father-in-law. It's really going to make me laugh to death."
Another concierge sneered, and then said: "Okay, get rid of them quickly, so as not to offend the nobles with their nonsense here and cause us trouble."
After saying that, the two of them stopped being polite and directly picked up the sticks in their hands and swung them towards the Liu family.
The Liu family members all have a strong-willed nature. As soon as they saw the stick, they immediately shrunk and ran away. How could they still have the courage they had just now
The concierge's face was full of sarcasm: "Fortunately they ran fast, otherwise I would have had to teach them a lesson."
The Liu family returned in vain and did not dare to approach the concierge again, so they had no choice but to return home again.
It's just that all the rice and noodles the family bought earlier were taken away by people from Liujia Village. These days, they rely on the money given by Liu Cuier to buy food. Now that Liu Cuier is gone, the family has nothing to eat. .
Father Liu looked at the empty room, almost bursting into tears, and now he felt regret in his heart.
If I had known that Huaijing was so difficult to get along with, I might as well have stayed in Liujiacun. Now the houses in Liujia Village are gone, and the land is gone. Miss Yun didn't lie. Everything is really gone.
All this deception was in vain, and his son was also involved.
Regret, really regret.
"After Ace comes out, let's go back to Liujia Village. People, we still have to accept our fate. We don't have that fate." Liu's father let out a long sigh and said with frustration.
Mother Liu wiped away her tears: "Okay, let's go back to the village. The gold and silver kennels outside are not as good as our dog kennels."
Liu Xiaolian didn't want to go back to Liujia Village. It was so prosperous outside, the clothes were beautiful, and the jewelry was exquisite. There was nothing in the village, so she didn't want to go back.
But seeing her parents like this, she just bit her lip and didn't dare to say anything.
In the next few days, the Liu family no longer acted like nobles. One of them went to the dock to carry goods, and the other went to help people wash clothes. They finally earned money for food.
At this time, Liu Ce's verdict also came down.
Compared with other people who really bought and sold imperial examination papers, Liu Ce was a completely implicated poor guy, so the crime was both light and heavy.
Those with severe sentences were either beheaded or exiled. Liu Ce was sentenced to be permanently barred from employment, and could not take the imperial examination for three generations.
For scholars, this punishment is considered serious.
But for a half-hearted person like Liu Ce, this punishment is somewhat insignificant. After all, he himself has no strength, and he will not do well even if he takes part in the exam. As for his descendants not being able to participate in the imperial examination, since he has no descendants now, he is naturally not worried.
So when he was released, Liu Ce was quite happy, at least he was fine.
Then he learned that his parents had abandoned Cui'er in order to let Yun Mingyue save him, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Especially when he knew that Yun Mingyue didn't save him at all, and didn't even want to see his parents, the anger in his heart was like a powder keg, igniting at a moment's notice.
However, Liu Ce did not dare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again. After all, he had learned from the previous beatings. He was still full of fear of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for fear that he would be seen by the Prime Minister's wife again and receive a severe beating again.
He actually asked his sister to find Mingyue, but unfortunately she still couldn't even see Mingyue's face. He couldn't do anything even if he was angry.
The consumption in Huaijing was very high, and no matter what they did, it was a waste of money. As the family became poorer and poorer, the Liu family really had no choice, and the family finally decided to return to Liujiacun.
Liu Ce even thought about going back to Liu Cuier to make it clear and want to win Liu Cuier back, so he agreed to go back to the village.
But before that, the family found someone to sublet the yard, and now they finally had the money to return to the village.
After Mingyue knew about this, she simply ignored their intentions and just went about her own business.
Anyway, the Liu family's return to the village is not the end, they will never be better off again.
