Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 94 Letter of Divorce
"Okay, I'll break off the engagement with the second young lady!" Mr. Zhang made up his mind as if he had lost an arm to survive.

"Someone, bring me pen and ink!" Su Qingwan raised her palm slightly. Someone had already prepared pen and ink and brought them over quickly.

Normally speaking, for such a serious matter as breaking off an engagement, the parents of both parties must be present, and the younger generation cannot make the decision. However, as the matter was urgent, Su Qingwan was able to take over the responsibility.

Mr. Zhang wrote a letter of withdrawal from the engagement, and before signing his hand, he said, "Second Miss, the eldest young lady is already married and will have no worries in her life. She doesn't know how miserable a woman's situation will be after she withdraws from the engagement. Rumors in the city will drown you, and no one will dare to marry you. You will be betrothed by the Lu family to a farmer, a pariah. Marriage is a woman's destiny. Do you really want no future? Don't listen to the eldest young lady's instigation, or she will ruin your life."

Lu Yunshu was a lady from a wealthy family with dignified manners. When she heard that Zhang Langjun was trying to stir up trouble after breaking off the engagement, she really wanted to slap him. "I have made up my mind to break off the engagement with you. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. Marrying you will ruin my life."

"Okay, okay... don't regret it!" Zhang Langjun signed and pressed his fingerprints.

When the ink dried, Lu Yunshu looked at the letter of breaking off the engagement with tears streaming down her face. She had finally broken off the engagement. The brothel girl had blocked her outside three times before, and she came to her again and acted sarcastic on purpose, showing off her husband's love for her, thinking that she didn't know that her husband was Mr. Zhang.

The men of the Lu family even deliberately disturbed her carriage, trying to insult her innocence, which frightened her so much that she turned pale. Fortunately, Xuedan was smart and took her away.

When the situation was at its most embarrassing, she sat alone in the carriage crying. Her eldest sister-in-law was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and fell ill. She had no one to talk to and was almost driven crazy.

"Why do I see that you look like you are deeply regretful?" Su Qingwan said slowly, "You love the girl of the Lu family so much, and she has forced herself to come to you. I think she is deeply in love with you. If she breaks off the engagement, you can just marry her and no one can stop you."

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer, "How can a mere brothel girl be worthy of being my legal wife? Even calling her a concubine is an honor to her. A mistress should be obedient and yet she came to my house to make trouble. If it weren't for her, the second young lady and I wouldn't have reached the point of breaking off the engagement."

Su Qingwan thought to herself, he is indeed a heartless person.

The girl from the Lu family was disheartened when she heard these words behind the door curtain. Her brothers abandoned her for a hundred taels of silver. In Mr. Zhang's heart, she was not even a concubine. It was a pity that she believed the sweet words of a man and naively came to him to ask for a way out for herself. How ridiculous.

"Madam, where is the money you promised to give us?"

Su Qingwan's eyes moved slightly, and Qingqing threw the silver bag to them. They were overjoyed, their eyes were greedy. Lu Yunxiu was so angry that he cursed a few words and asked the butler to send them away.

After leaving Lu's house, Zhang Langjun saw that there was no one outside the door. He knew that he had been deceived and secretly cursed the merchant's daughter for being so cunning, but the letter of cancellation of engagement had already been written, so he had no choice but to accept it.

The crowd in the hall dispersed and it instantly became silent. Lu Yunshu didn't want to see the girl from the Lu family either, so Su Qingwan asked Lu Zhu to see her off.

"Xie Zhaolan, you are so brave!" Lin's weak voice came, full of anger, "Who allowed you to decide to cancel the engagement with Yun Shu!"

Lin was very ill. He had not been able to get up for some time and had lost a lot of weight.

"Mother, that Mr. Zhang is really abominable. Before my second sister got married, he was already coveting beauty, and a prostitute, whose belly was so big. They must have come here on purpose to ask for money." Lu Yunxiu couldn't help but complain. Even a simple person like her could see that they did it on purpose. "Even if we cancel the engagement, it's not your turn to make the decision!" Lin was weak, but her voice was solemn. She looked at Su Qingwan with a look that seemed to cut her, "How dare you interfere in the marriages of girls?"

"Mother, I am the one who wants to cancel the engagement. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law." Lu Yunshu knelt down, "My daughter does not want to marry Mr. Zhang. Please make the decision, mother, and do not blame my sister-in-law."

"Mr. Zhang is a juren. If you pass the imperial examination, you will be the wife of an official. His family is simple, and you won't have so many troubles if you marry him. What's wrong with you? He has a concubine, so why do you care? She has a lowly status and she can't even enter the house, nor can she threaten your status. You can just turn a blind eye to it. Even if he doesn't have a concubine now, he will still call you a concubine after you marry him. Are you going to be alone for the rest of your life?" Lin was very disappointed with the Zhang family. In her eyes, the Zhang family was a good marriage.

"My daughter doesn't want to!" Lu Yunshu knew that she was right to cancel the engagement, and she didn't want to argue. "How can I marry a family that has a mistress before we even get married?"

"You have to agree even if you don't want to. The Lu family cannot have a girl whose engagement is broken off!" Lin said angrily, "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You have to be patient and magnanimous. Every woman has gone through this. You can't do anything nonsense. Give me the letter of breaking off the engagement!

"Mother, if word gets out about Mr. Zhang keeping a prostitute, his career will be ruined and his family fortune will be gone. Do you want my second sister to marry him and suffer?" Su Qingwan said calmly, "It's not like my second sister has only one way out, which is to marry someone else."

"What other options do women have except getting married!" Lin coughed a few times out of anger. "Since you came back, there has been no peace in the mansion. Brother Feng was dismissed from his post, and Yun Shu broke off the engagement. None of these has anything to do with you. My Lu family cannot keep you. Today, I will divorce you on behalf of Brother Feng!"

Su Qingwan was overjoyed. She had been planning to divorce Lu Feng for a long time. Lu Feng's life was worse than death. Li Xueying's reputation was ruined in the Shenjie Division. Even if she didn't die in the Shenjie Division, she wouldn't live long.

The revenge has come to an end, and it is time for her to leave the Lu family to comfort her sister's soul in heaven.

She took over Lu Yunshu's affairs because, firstly, she felt sorry for Lu Yunshu, and secondly, she was sure that the Lu family would punish her, and it would be best if she was willing to write a divorce letter.

Even though he was happy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

"Mother, I'm interfering because I love my second sister. If you punish me and kick me out of the house, I will have nothing to say." Su Qingwan lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears.

Lin was so angry that her heart ached. What happened in the ancestral hall that day was still vivid in her mind. If she had not been bedridden, she would have wanted to persuade Lu Feng to divorce her, so as to prevent her uncle and sister-in-law from doing anything shameful in the future.

The Lu family’s reputation is truly ruined!
Although her eldest son died, the other children of the Lu family must be fine, and Lu Jing must also rise to prominence. Maybe he can help Feng Ge'er in the future, and no one can harm the Lu family anymore.

"Don't say any more. I'll write a letter of divorce now. Take the letter and get out of the Lu family!"

When Lin was writing the divorce letter, her hands were shaking due to illness. Lu Yunshu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Lin was indifferent. Lu Yunxiu was also hesitant to speak. The daughter of the Lu family and Mr. Zhang bullied them so much, but her sister-in-law supported them. The second sister didn't want to get married either. She didn't understand why her mother wanted to punish her sister-in-law.

"What are you doing?" Lu Jing, in a crimson official robe, blocked out the light falling on the hall. His brows, facing the light, were immersed in the dry heat of midsummer, and looked as cold as a knife.
