Especially after finding out.
How Li Xiucai and his mother had bullied his wife had enraged his father. "I'll definitely make him pay with his blood."
His wife hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Father, don't be rash. Yang County already helped me deal with that person. Don't humiliate your own hands because of that beast."
When he heard his wife mention Jiujiu again, his father couldn't help but frown.
The stepmother's father couldn't help but ask, "My son, what is your relationship with that county princess?"
Even family and friends had a motive for being nice to you, let alone strangers.
He had heard of the County Princess of Yang City before.
It was said that she was a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan who fell in love with the general at first sight. For her sake, the general even went to the palace to ask the emperor for a marriage decree.
What kind of person was the general? What kind of person was she?
She could rise to the heavens in a single bound if she worked with a merchant like the general.
After struggling for so many years, his wife's father naturally didn't believe that General Jiujiu had fallen in love with him at first sight.
He was more willing to believe that it was Jiujiu who had charmed the general.
His wife didn't know what his father was thinking, but when he asked her, she smiled and said, "I'm neighbors with the county princess of Yang City.
That day, when I was bullied by that beast's family and cried helplessly in the backyard, the county princess happened to hear it. She comforted me out of kindness and came to give me advice the next day. How could I make a comeback?
Father, if it wasn't for her help, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now. "
His wife's father had thought that Jiujiu wasn't someone to be trifled with, but after hearing his wife's words, he realized that he had misunderstood Jiujiu.
He hurriedly said, "When this matter settles down, we'll definitely pay her a visit to thank her. But what does the county princess like? You're more familiar with the county princess, so you can ask around when you have time. I'll also prepare a gift. "
The county princess had helped his wife, so she was their family's benefactor. They had to thank her properly.
Jiujiu felt very relieved after helping my mother resolve the matter with Li Xiucai.
The rock that was Wan Niang finally fell to the ground.
In the evening, Jiujiu took off her hairpin and washed her face and rinsed her mouth. She let all the maids go back to rest, and then she lay down on the small soft chair, ready to read a book for a while before going to sleep.
A sound suddenly came from outside the window. Jiujiu got up to look, but she didn't expect to see Ling Xiao standing by the window in a daze.
Ling Xiao did not expect Jiujiu to come, and his dark face revealed a look of shock.
Jiujiu looked at Ling Xiao's dazed expression and laughed. "When did you arrive?"
A hint of red appeared on Ling Xiao's dark face. His eyes were shy, and he didn't dare to look at Jiujiu.
Seeing Ling Xiao's rare shyness, Jiu Jiu had an absurd and bold idea. "You couldn't have been standing there for a long time, right?"
Ling Xiao blushed and nodded.
He had indeed been standing here for a long time.
In the afternoon, he had probably heard Jiujiu go next door and threaten Li Xiucai to divorce his wife, so he had come over.
He had wanted to see Jiujiu directly, but it was late, and he didn't want to disturb Jiujiu's rest.
So he had planned to watch Jiujiu from the window for a while before going back.
But he had stood there for such a long time.
Jiu Jiu Jiu had only been guessing, but she hadn't expected Ling Xiao to admit it so easily.
Jiujiu was very surprised. "If you wanted to see me, you could have just come in. Why are you standing here in the middle of the night?"
Ling Xiao pursed his lips. He only felt that his heart was beating like a drum, thumping non-stop.
He hadn't done anything wrong. But he had the misconception that he had done something wrong.
Ling Xiao didn't say a word.
Jiujiu sighed and said helplessly, "How about this? If you don't want to talk, I'll guess it. If I'm right, you nod. Is that okay? "
Ling Xiao had been fretting over how to get through to her, but Jiujiu had come up with such an idea.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and nodded.
When she saw Ling Xiao nod, Jiujiu started guessing.
"You're here because of what happened next door, right?"
Before Ling Xiao left, he told you that he would be busy today. If Jiujiu's guess was right, Ling Xiao should be very busy today as well.
The only thing that had caught Ling Xiao's attention was her request for a divorce.
Ling Xiao nodded.
Now that Ling Xiao had nodded, it confirmed her guess.
Jiujiu smiled. "You're worried that I'll divorce you too."
Ling Xiao quickly shook his head.
Ling Xiao knew very well.
He wouldn't end up like Li Xiucai, and Jiujiu wouldn't divorce him either.
"Are you curious why I insist on divorcing Li Xiucai?"
This time, Ling Xiao nodded quickly.
Jiujiu knew that Ling Xiao was most likely here because of Li Xiucai and his wife, but she didn't expect him to be here out of curiosity.
Jiujiu replied, "The reason why I want her to divorce Li Xiucai isn't because of a sudden impulse. It's because I can't stand the hypocrisy of Li Xiucai and his mother.
I still remember clearly that when I first met my wife, I had just moved in. The moonlight was very beautiful that day, and I was sitting in the pavilion. I was a little hungry, so I asked a servant to bring me some bird's nest porridge from the kitchen. Then, I heard crying coming from the courtyard next door.
It was already very dark at the time, and I was about to go back and rest. So, I was very curious about what was going on next door. Why would someone suddenly cry like this in the middle of the night?
I climbed up the wall using the fake mountain and saw my wife there.
I still remember how cold it was that day. My wife was wearing very thin clothes and was sitting on a stone bench next to a water vat. There were several basins full of wet clothes in front of her. She was crying as she scrubbed the clothes. I asked her out of curiosity why she was crying.
She didn't tell me why she was crying. Instead, she asked me how to climb up the wall. She said it wasn't safe and told me to get down quickly.
She was a woman who had been tortured to the point of crying. When you asked her why she was crying, she didn't tell you why she was crying. Instead, she was worried about your safety.
At the time, I thought my wife was very kind. Later, when I heard her story from a servant, I wanted to help her escape from her misery.
The next day, I told her that she had to pull herself together. Li Xiucai's entire family was spending her money, yet they wanted to ride on her head. How could there be such a good thing?
My wife was very smart. She immediately understood what I was trying to say and began to fight back.
Then, you came to know that you and I were going to get married. I was conferred the title of county princess of Yang City by His Majesty. Li Xiucai wanted to use my wife to get familiar with me so that he could hitch a ride with you.
My wife was a very kind, brave, and thoughtful girl. I didn't want her to spend the rest of her life with a man like Li Xiucai.
Do you think I was wrong to help him get a divorce? "
Ling Xiao shook his head.
Not to mention that Ling Xiao had never felt that Jiujiu was wrong.
Even after hearing Jiujiu's story, he was even more determined to stand on Jiujiu's side.
He also felt that Li Xiucai wasn't worthy of a good woman like his wife.
