Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 368 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (3)

He is a man of official rank and title; how could he have an affair with his cousin without proper matchmaking? His reputation would be completely ruined!

Fan Xiurong's face turned deathly pale. Although she had deliberately seduced her cousin to succeed, she did not want outsiders to know about it.

All she wanted was for her cousin to divorce that uncouth village woman, Shen Shuyi, and then marry her properly, but everything had gone wrong!

Since things have come to this point, she must find a way to make her cousin take responsibility for her actions.

Aunt Liu and the others slapped their thighs and left, but before long, a crowd of people gathered around the bamboo house, which was rarely visited by anyone.

They pointed and gestured at the bamboo house that had been slammed shut with a "bang".

"Poor Mrs. Chen, I saw her crying so sadly just now. She has raised her two children with gritted teeth. When she has another child of her own, and the whole family moves to town after Chen Xiucai passes the imperial examination, they will be able to enjoy a life of happiness."

"She's had a tough two years, taking care of the whole family. She's done a lot, even if she hasn't achieved anything remarkable. I never expected that Scholar Chen would have a mistress."

"Tsk tsk, I never expected that the scholar Chen, who was so devoted to his deceased wife, would actually be having an affair with his own cousin, and even in this secluded study, he's been reading until he's lost his mind."

Shen Shuyi ignored the storms outside and started packing her luggage as soon as she returned to the Chen family. The original owner had brought a lot of dowry, but it was all used to subsidize the household expenses, leaving only a few old clothes.

It's heartbreaking to say, but she hasn't bought a single new piece of clothing in the two years since she married into the Chen family.

The incident escalated so much that even Chen's mother, who had difficulty walking and spent her days tormenting her daughter-in-law at home, heard about her son's farce with his cousin.

Chen Mengzheng returned home and ran into a woman carrying a bundle as she walked out the door. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shuyi glanced at Fan Xiurong, who was standing closely behind him, and said, "As you can see, let's get a divorce."

"What do you mean?" Chen Meng was staring at Shen Shuyi.

"You've been hanging out with Fan Xiurong, and you still have the nerve to ask me what I mean?" Shen Shuyi glanced at him indifferently.

Chen Mengzheng was filled with disbelief. Even though his affair had been exposed by others, he never thought that Shen Shuyi would bring up the matter of divorce.

In his memory, Ji Xian, who was not very pretty, uncultured, and only knew how to bury himself in work, was completely devoted to him. He was Shen Shuyi's everything, so how could Shen Shuyi possibly bear to leave the Chen family?

She should reflect on why she failed to capture her husband's heart and soul!

Sitting in the courtyard, Chen's mother exploded. She pointed at Shen Shuyi and cursed, "So you've grown wings and dare to ask for a divorce? I'll make my son divorce you and see who will marry a haggard old woman like you!"

"Bang!" Shen Shuyi stepped forward and kicked over the recliner under Chen's mother's buttocks.

"Ouch—" Chen's mother suddenly fell to the ground, then struggled to sit up.

"Shen Shuyi!" Chen Mengzheng stepped forward and raised his hand to reprimand her.

Shen Shuyi slapped Chen Mengzheng across the face. Her hands, rough from working, were also sharp from fighting, so she was more than capable of beating up a weak scholar.

"Chen Mengzheng, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and write a divorce agreement, or I'll file a lawsuit with the county government and see if you'll still have a chance to take the provincial examination in August."

"cousin."

Chen Mengzheng covered his burning face, looking at her with a sinister gaze, "Shen Shuyi."

"Take back everything you said, apologize to your mother, and I might consider forgiving you for the sake of the child."

"You mean those two ingrates?" Shen Shuyi glanced at Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyun, who were staring at her angrily.

"They're not my children, so why do you think you can manipulate me with this trick?" They were speaking loudly in the courtyard, and the people who were secretly listening to the gossip outside were engrossed in hearing it. They never expected the Chen family to be so shameless.

Every family has its share of mistreatment of wives, but I never expected that even a dignified scholar like Chen would have such a miserable family.

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Chen Mengzheng lost his composure and deliberately softened his tone.

"Shuyi, we've been married for two years. You're just going to throw away these two years of feelings? Xiurong and I were just confused for a moment. Don't think too much about it."

Fan Xiurong felt very uncomfortable upon hearing this.

If her parents hadn't stopped her back then, she would have married her cousin in place of her deceased sister long ago. There would have been no chance for Shen Shuyi!
Shen Shuyi deliberately raised her voice, "Feelings?"

"Chen Mengzheng, do you think I'm a fool?"

“I appreciate your deep affection for your deceased wife. I understand that you want to sleep in separate rooms. I just think that I will gradually open your heart and then we can be a real couple again.”

"I never expected this!" Shen Shuyi cried, "You've been having an affair with my cousin all along! No wonder you haven't touched me since we got married!"

"So you ate your fill outside!"

These words immediately caused a huge stir, even shocking Chen's mother, not to mention the gossipy neighbors outside.

"If that's the case, why did you marry me? Do you think I'm easy to bully and want to marry me to be your maid, to serve your whole family like a beast of burden?"

"Chen Mengzheng, you are unworthy of being a scholar!"

Chen Mengzheng frowned deeply. The usually hardworking and dutiful Jixian seemed like a completely different person. How come he never knew she was so eloquent? Could it be that she had been driven mad by his affair with Xiurong?
Are you sure you want a divorce?

"Hurry up and write a divorce agreement, or I'll risk my life to take it to the county government." Shen Shuyi was determined to leave.

Chen's mother tugged at the two children and pushed them in front of Shen Shuyi, "Hurry up and let your mother go cook. What are you making such a fuss about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"

Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyun's stomachs were growling with hunger. "I'm hungry. You, Mom, go cook some food."

They were happy to hear that their stepmother wanted a divorce, but who would cook for them after the divorce? They should fill their stomachs first.

Shen Shuyi completely ignored the two ungrateful wretches. They had a father and a grandmother, so they wouldn't starve. Besides, hadn't they always hoped that Fan Xiurong would become their stepmother? Now that their wish was about to come true, why did their expressions look worse than crying?

“I wag my tail a few times when I feed the dogs, but I’ve raised you for two years and I’ve never heard you call me ‘Mom’ even once.”

"From this day forward, do not expect me to be your servant again."

The Chen siblings were speechless, their mother glared angrily, and Chen Meng's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Shen Shuyi to be so aggressive.

As a scholar, he had no need to argue with such a country bumpkin.

"Fine, you're determined to get a divorce, right? I'll grant your wish!"

Shen Shuyi successfully obtained the divorce papers. She blew on the ink with satisfaction, thinking that while the man's handwriting was good, his character was terrible.

Fan Xiurong tiptoed to peek at the divorce papers, then quickly suppressed the excitement in her eyes.

As Chen Meng watched Shen Shuyi deftly open the courtyard gate and leave, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. It felt incredibly unreal. Shen Shuyi used to have nothing but him in her heart and eyes. Would she really leave?

Even after writing the divorce papers, he still couldn't believe it was real. He thought Shen Shuyi was just being crazy and throwing a tantrum, and that she would obediently come back to do the laundry and cook in a few days.
Chen Wenxian and his sister, clutching their rumbling stomachs, followed instinctively. Chen Wenyun, oblivious to her own hunger, called out, "Mom, I'm hungry. Cook something for me before you go."
