Mingyu's heart immediately began to beat wildly. She tried her best to control her inner nervousness and asked, "Where is the maid?"
Mother Liu said immediately, "She's waiting in the yard. The mistress went out early in the morning and said she was going to buy some things. There's no master at home, so I can only let her sit in the yard and wait."
Xu Mingye could naturally see Mingyu's nervousness. Hearing the little girl's voice change, he leaned over to Mingyu's ear and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll go with you."
Mingyu nodded and followed Xu Mingye into the yard. Waiting in the yard was Bixi, whom she had just met a few days ago. Seeing Mingyu coming back, Bixi came up to her, bowed, and said, "Second Madam, the Second Master just got home this morning, and Madam asked me to notify you to come over."
Mingyu nodded. It happened that the carriage they hired to go to Huang'en Temple was still parked in front of Xu's mansion. The three of them got on the carriage and drove directly to Miao's mansion.
Bixi felt sad when she thought that Mingyu would no longer be the second wife of the Marquis' Mansion. Mingyu and Xu Mingye also had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Bixi smiled and spoke first, "Second Madam, where did you and Master Xu go just now?"
There was no need to hide her visit to Luo Lingxiu from the people in the Marquis' Mansion. Mingyu smiled and said, "I went to Huang'en Temple to see my eldest sister-in-law."
There was a flash of surprise in Bixi's eyes, then she sighed and asked, "How is Big Breast now?"
Mingyu shook her head and said, "It doesn't look good. She kept saying that she was wrong in the past and that she was still young, and asked me to ask the Queen to let her go. She also said..." Mingyu wanted to say that Luo Lingxiu said Sima Xi had never touched her, but then she thought that Sima Xi was a deceased person, and hiding it was a respect for him.
"She is always using this trick!" Bixi said angrily, grabbing Mingyu's hand, "Don't be fooled by her, she is definitely not truly repentant!"
Mingyu nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know that. Even if she is truly repentant, the Queen has ordered her to become a nun. How can others interfere?" Mingyu never believed that Luo Lingxiu really felt that she was wrong. People like Luo Lingxiu have always been high and mighty, with a self-righteous sense of superiority and nobility. How could she admit her mistakes to someone she has always looked down upon
Don't be fooled by her crying, it seems sincere, in fact, she is just angry, angry that she failed to kill Mingyu before, and finally Mingyu brought her to this situation, she is allowed to do evil to others, no matter how she hurts others, but she will never allow others to resist. It is useless for such people to suffer, they have no remorse, they must be trampled to the bottom, no chance of turning over, the world will be safe.
Bixi started talking, and the atmosphere in the carriage was less unbearable along the way. However, when they arrived at the Miao Mansion, the three of them couldn't help but think of the divorce again. Bixi felt sad again, and led Mingyu and Xu Mingye into the Miao Mansion in silence. She just wanted the road under their feet to be longer and walk slower until they reached the lady's yard. By then, Mingyu would no longer be her second wife, and would have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion anymore.
Arriving at Miao's yard, the first thing Mingyu saw was the two trees next to the gate. They had already sprouted green leaves, adding a touch of spring to the bleak yard, making it no longer as desolate as the last time she came.
In the middle of the courtyard, Sima Hong, who hadn't been seen for more than a year, sat at the stone table and wolfed down his meal. When he heard footsteps, Sima Hong turned around with his bowl in his arms, still using the chopsticks to feed the meal to his mouth. When he saw Mingyu, Sima Hong's eyes widened, surprised and happy, and he quickly put down the bowl, wiped his mouth casually, and ran to Mingyu.
His daughter-in-law had grown taller and her face had matured. She became petite and thin, like the bright moon rising in the northwest at night, graceful, quiet and beautiful.
Sima Hong had a joyful smile on his face and his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Mingyu. They had been apart for so long and he had experienced so many things. He had thousands of words to say to Mingyu, but he didn't know where to start. In desperation, he couldn't help but hold Mingyu's hand.
Xu Mingye stepped aside very lightly and stood in front of Mingyu. Sima Hong tried to hold Mingyu's hand, but was pushed away by Xu Mingye.
It was not until this moment that Sima Hong realized that there was a brother-in-law watching him. He smiled warmly, "Ming Ye, you are here too!"
Mingyu stood behind her brother and looked over Xu Mingye's shoulder at Sima Hong. She hadn't seen him for more than a year. He had grown a lot taller than before. Now she could only reach his shoulders. His originally fair face had turned wheat-colored, and his chin was covered with green stubble. He was wearing a dirty gray cloth robe, and the sleeves and hem of the robe were scratched.
If it weren't for the familiar features and the fact that they hadn't changed much from before, Mingyu wouldn't have recognized him from his back. This attire was completely different from the young master of the marquisate who wore gorgeous clothes and gold and jade pendants a few years ago.
Facing Sima Hong's warm greeting, Xu Mingye just smiled in response, and doubts arose in his heart. Looking at the attitude of this dog boy, he looked dusty and looked like he had just arrived home and had no idea about the divorce. Just as Xu Mingye was about to speak, he saw the door open and Miao came out. Xu Mingye quickly bowed to Miao.
Miao looked at Xu Mingye and smiled, "Mr. Xu, you came at the right time. Today, Bao Ge'er is back, so it's just the right time to settle this matter. Both the Sima family and the Xu family can put this worry aside."
Sima Hong was not a fool. Seeing the attitudes of Miao and Xu Mingye, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He still had a playful look on his face and asked, "Madam, what are you talking about? What's the end? How come I don't know?"
Miao took a deep breath and turned to her son with a calm expression. Her tone seemed to be telling her son to do something ordinary. "You know, I have never liked Mingyu. You were not in the capital before, so I had no choice. Now that you are back and her family is here, you should write a divorce letter to her. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other's marriage."
Sima Hong's originally playful face froze immediately, he couldn't believe it, after a while, he slowly asked: "Madam, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Seeing her son's panic, Miao was heartbroken. She gritted her teeth and said it again, "In short, I don't like Mingyu to be my daughter-in-law. You should write a divorce letter to the Xu family as soon as possible, and I will find a better one for you in the future."
Mingyu looked at Miao in surprise. From the beginning to the end, Miao only said that she didn't like her and never mentioned that she took the initiative to ask for a divorce. Suddenly, she understood Miao's intentions. Sima Hong had a good impression of her and had returned from the battlefield after a narrow escape. If she, as a mother, told him the truth that Mingyu didn't want him and insisted on a divorce, he would be upset. Although Miao was domineering, she was still very considerate and meticulous to her son. She would rather be a bad person in her son's eyes than make him feel bad.
"I won't write!" Sima Hong suddenly gasped and shouted, so excited that he couldn't even stand still. He said in a trembling voice: "Mingyu was chosen by my grandparents. She is my wife and no one can let her go! Even if I die, she is still Sima Hong's!"
This is simply overbearing and unreasonable! Xu Mingye frowned. He knew that things would not be so simple. How could this overbearing second young master of the Marquis's Mansion give up
Sima Hong was so anxious that his face turned red, but no one paid any attention to him. After looking around, Sima Hong looked at Mingyu and said anxiously, "Mingyu, Mingyu! Say something, why don't you say anything? Mingye, say something, don't worry, I will treat Mingyu well, didn't we agree on this in Tianshui!"
Xu Mingye looked at Sima Hong and spoke, "Second Young Master, things have come to this point, and there is no way back. Mingyu is the apple of our Xu family's eye. Seeing that she is not doing well in the Marquis' Mansion, my parents feel bad too. We don't ask for wealth and glory for our daughter, we just want to take her home to live a peaceful life. The Marquis' Mansion is of high status, and you will be the Marquis of Anxi in the future. There are many well-matched young ladies willing to marry you, so why bother..."
Sima Hong was so angry that his eyes went dark. He really couldn't understand what was wrong with all of them. Why did they have to separate him and Mingyu? "No, I won't write it!"
As he spoke, Sima Hong took a few steps forward, walked around Xu Mingye, grabbed Mingyu's hand, and led her behind him.
Before Mingyu could react, he grabbed her hand and protected it behind her back, causing her to scream in fright.
Xu Mingye couldn't help but get furious. He actually robbed someone in broad daylight. This fool was quite skilled. His eyes blurred and he didn't even see Sima Hong's movements clearly. He just found that the girl behind him was taken away by him. "Second Young Master, you are not a child anymore. Don't act on impulse!" Xu Mingye said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.
"Who is acting on impulse?" Sima Hong snorted coldly, "I have never seen my brother-in-law force a divorce! If you force me again, I will report you to the Jingzhao Yin and ask if there is any reason for this!"
Sima Hong's words were justified. If he didn't nod, who else could write the divorce letter for him? His wife didn't like Mingyu, so he could just take his wife to the northwest.
Miao stamped her feet in anger and said angrily, "You little beast, now you have grown wings and don't listen to me. You are going to force your mother to death!" With that, Miao rushed into the house and ran out with a pair of scissors, followed by Nanny Tan and Nanny Wei who were crying and shouting, "Madam, please talk to the second master properly if you have something to say. Don't let it get to your head!"
Sima Hong was shocked and said hurriedly, "Madam, what are you doing? Put down the scissors!" Nanny Tan and Nanny Wei wanted to step forward to grab the scissors, but they were afraid of hurting Miao, so the few of them just stood there in a stalemate.
Miao held the scissors, pointed the tip at her neck, looked at Sima Hong with a determined look, and said, "Are you going to write the divorce agreement or not?" (To be continued.
