Madam Feng-Du trembled as she held the letter that seemed frivolous, but to her, it was as heavy as Mount Tai.
"You, you … how dare you divorce me?"
Madam Feng-Du seemed to have yet to recover from the shock of reality. She couldn't help but pinch her own arm. This was definitely a nightmare, not reality. How could Feng Gui write a divorce letter? Because she called Changsheng a b * tch?
Feng Gui frowned imperceptibly and said helplessly, "It's a separation, not a divorce. Although you've made mistakes in small matters, you've done nothing major. I have no right to divorce you. What's more, the culture in Zhongzhao seems to be especially strict towards women who have been divorced … "
Before he could finish, Madam Feng-Du screamed shrilly, "You know it too! Why did you write a divorce letter like this? You're trying to force me to my death! Feng Huaizhang, you're so cruel! Never divorce! Never divorce! Unless you poison me with a glass of poisonous wine! "
It wasn't that Feng Gui had never seen a crazy woman or a shrew, but he had never imagined that Madam Feng-Du would behave in such a deranged manner. She didn't have a shred of composure, only hysteria and stubbornness. Even now, she didn't know what she had done wrong.
"Do you know your status?" Feng Gui sighed. His voice was still calm, but every word was like a nail piercing into Madam Feng-Du's heart. "You've been the matriarch of the Feng family for four years. Do you know what your responsibilities are? Manage the internal affairs, manage the internal affairs, manage the household affairs, manage the servants, handle the clan's affairs, mediate the clan's internal conflicts, prepare for the clan's sacrificial ceremonies … Which of these have you done? "
A matriarch didn't just manage the inner courtyard of a small family. She had to manage many other things.
When she had just married, Feng Gui felt that she was still a young girl and had not come into contact with these matters, so he asked his mother to help her. But what happened? After four years of learning, she was only a dabbler. She couldn't handle one matter properly and instead blamed Madam Feng-Du for holding the power.
"… A matriarch is the role model that all the women in the Feng family need to learn from. Tell me, is there anything about you that's worth learning from? In order to gain fame and gain the favor of other men, you injured your own feet, causing your body to be afflicted with a malady, causing you to scratch your head when you walk? "
Madam Feng-Du's face was pale, as if she had put on a thick layer of white powder.
"… Let's not talk about this first. The atmosphere in Zhongzhao isn't righteous. The great scholars of the aristocratic families pursue these unorthodox things. This is the way it is. I can't blame a girl who is inexperienced. But is it also the style of Zhongzhao to be talkative, to make up stories, and to make up stories? "
This couldn't be blamed on the outside world. It could only be said that he had poor self-restraint.
Feng Gui was now a chatterbox. He could not bear to say things that would hurt her, but now he was spilling them all out one by one.
"I've mentioned it to you more than once, but when have you not turned a deaf ear? How many people in the clan are laughing at you? You can't be a member of the royal family just by putting on makeup and putting on makeup all day long. You've been married into the clan for more than four years. Don't you feel that because of your influence, the atmosphere in the clan has become more impetuous? An upright family is the foundation of the inheritance. I can't harm the Feng family because of you. "
Madam Feng-Du was almost unable to breathe. After a while, she said bitterly, "Isn't it because of your mother's meddling? She always says that I'm not doing well here and there. She's already so old, yet I'm still so greedy for power and lack of respect. She forced me … "
Slap!
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a deafening applause. Feng Gui had slammed his palm on the table beside him. The force was so great that the entire table shook slightly. Feng Gui looked at his reddened palm with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Your heart, what is it made of? Are you heartless and unscrupulous? "Feng Gui said," Has Mother ever mistreated you these past few years? She should be enjoying the happiness of a family, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. If it weren't for you … why would she still worry about you at such an old age? "
Madam Feng-Du was truly frightened by Feng Gui's move. She thought that he would raise his hand to slap her, but in the end, his hand landed on the table.
"Let's get a divorce. After all, we're husband and wife. Let's keep our dignity. It's for the good of our two children."
Madam Feng-Du's molars trembled. She was still unwilling.
"Feng Huaizhang, do you have someone in your heart? Which vixen has seduced your soul … "
That must be the case. Otherwise, why would Feng Gui, who had always tolerated her, suddenly lose his temper and want a divorce?
It must be because he had someone he liked and wanted her to give up her position.
"If I really had someone in my heart, I would have welcomed her into the family openly. What could you do to me?"
Feng Gui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he felt that it was not worth it. It had been four years, yet he still hadn't gained the slightest bit of trust from this person.
"Who is that person? Could it be that little slut? That b * stard Changsheng is actually yours and your sister-in-law's? "
If that wasn't the case, why would he have such a huge reaction when he had merely called Changsheng a b * stard?
Madam Feng-Du's eyes shone fiercely. She gritted her molars fiercely. Feng Gui didn't recognize her at all.
He was so angry that he wanted to laugh. "If you say another word of nonsense and wear away our last shred of affection, believe me, there will be more than a cup of poisoned wine in front of you!"
When Madam Feng-Du heard this, her face turned as white as snow.
Everyone wanted to live, and she was no exception. Earlier, when she said that she would rather have a cup of poisoned wine than a divorce, she had only said it out of anger.
She had always known that Feng Gui had a good temperament. He was gentle and dignified, as if even if the sky collapsed, he wouldn't frown.
This kind of personality gradually made her fearless.
Reality proved that she really didn't understand Feng Gui. When this person hardened his heart, even she was afraid.
Feng Gui said, "I have also seen the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women in Zhongzhao. You should review it again and reflect on yourself. See which one you have done? Treat others strictly and be lenient with self-discipline! Is this the 'virtue of women' that countless learned scholars in Zhongzhao hold in high esteem? It really makes me want to vomit! "
"Carefully chew on every single word you have said before, then swallow them back into your stomach. If Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law become estranged because of your nonsense, not only will I give you a cup of poisoned wine, I will also personally send you on your way with a piece of white silk! "
Feng Gui had never thought that a husband and wife would have such an ugly quarrel and completely fall out.
Feng Gui and his wife's divorce was not a small matter to the Feng family. After all, Madam Feng-Du was already on the family tree.
If they had a peaceful divorce, it wouldn't be as simple as packing up the dowry and rolling back to Zhongzhao. They would also have to erase their names from the family tree.
The next day, when Madam Feng found out that Feng Gui and Madam Feng-Du had a huge argument in the room, she felt rather guilty.
"Wait for another two years. I will find you a real lady from a respectable family. I will not consider that nest of snakes and scorpions in Zhongzhao anymore."
Feng Gui rubbed his brows.
It was impossible not to remarry. The matriarch was very important to the Feng family. She could affect the prosperity and continuation of the entire clan.
However … his two children were still too young. He wouldn't be at ease if he remarried in another two years.
