Chapter 52 The Letter of Resignation
From the long house to the second house, you have to cross half of the backyard, and it takes almost a few quarters of an hour to walk.
Yuan Wenxuan stood at the gate of the yard, as if she had just stepped out of the long room, and in an instant she arrived in front of the second room.
Looking at the yard shrouded in the night, Yuan Wenxuan twisted the handkerchief in her hand into twists and felt a little afraid.
Su Yue left with anger, and everyone, without evidence, put the charge on her head.
She could almost expect to wait until she returned to the house and face Su Yue's interrogation.
"Madam, aren't we going in?" Citron knew that Yuan Wenxuan was afraid of facing a situation and whispered: "You have taken the initiative to give in to the Second Master and change your mind. Today, you and the Second Master are in harmony. You cannot blame you for your mistakes because of your previous mistakes. Second Master has you in your heart. He cares about this family, but he is also a wise person. He will not blame you for catching things. Even if you go to the yamen, the official without evidence will not be convicted. Isn't this wrongful person?"
Yuan Wenxuan calmed down, let out a long sigh, and said with a look of confusion: "You are right. You can't blame me for something wrong in the mansion because I did something wrong in the past. In this huge mansion, I am not the only one left except for a few serious masters."
Citron helped Yuan Wenxuan into the yard, pushed open the door of the main room, and a lamp was lit on the table, leaving no one.
Yuan Wenxuan looked at the quiet room and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. At least she was not mentally prepared to face Su Yue now.
The reconciliation was just as good as before in the afternoon, and at night he looked fierce, as if he was staring at his enemy.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I'm tired. You ask the water room to bring the bath soup. I want to take a shower."
Yuan Wenxuan ordered Citron to pull out her hairpin, sit in front of the dressing table, put it in the box, and raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw the shadow in the bronze mirror. Her heart suddenly jumped, and her face changed suddenly.
"A Yue."
Yuan Wenxuan stared at the bronze mirror with a pale face, watched Su Yue get up from the skull and walk slowly towards her. Every step seemed to step on the tip of her heart, her heart tightened and her breathing was held.
Su Yue stood behind her, Yuan Wenxuan looked at his expressionless face in the mirror, and her heart was filled with anxiety. If he accused her in anger, Yuan Wenxuan would breathe a sigh of relief. Now she could not see his thoughts in this way. Only from his dark pupils, he saw dark fire, pain, struggle, and disappointment mixed together, and finally turned into a ball of fire. The dark eyes were astonishingly bright at this moment, but it made Yuan Wenxuan even more shocked.
"A Yue..."
Yuan Wenxuan called out uneasy.
Su Yue's eyes locked Yuan Wenxuan's face, her face changed and she was forced to calm down, but there was still a hint of panic in her eyes.
I don't know when she became a little stranger.
When she was newly married, she was gentle and considerate, and rarely made any requests to him. She stood silently behind him and managed the house without much worry. She was also very close to Jiang Jiaoyue. Every time she wrote to her, she would mention Jiang Jiaoyue. The two of them supported each other and were as close as sisters. He stood on the bleak border of the cold wind, looking at the words in his heart, and his heart was very upright.
Now, she speaks with thorns, and every concern has no intention. She can even use poison to harm the child in Jiang Jiaoyue's belly.
"You have nothing to say to me?" Su Yue's voice became extremely low due to restraint.
Yuan Wenxuan's eyelashes trembled violently. She turned her eyes away and combed her silk with a comb. "I used to be confused. I was blinded by lard. I wanted to take charge of the power of my family. I instigated the relationship between my sister-in-law, which made you feel embarrassed. You had a fight with me. I knew I was wrong. Compared to taking charge of the power of my family, I care more about you and your children. Today, we have reconciled. I had a relationship with my sister-in-law at night and did not catch the murderer. I was panicked and afraid that the criminal record I had done would make you misunderstand that I did it!"
Yuan Wenxuan's eyes were red and tears were hazy. She raised her head and looked at Su Yue in the mirror. Tears fell, "When you left the eldest room, you wanted to cut me, I knew you misunderstood! We have been together for two years, and although we haven't been together for a long time, I naively thought you understand me. As a mother, if anyone hurts Brother Xin, I have to fight with her. How could I hurt my sister-in-law's child with a harsh heart? If I really dare to do this, you can turn back and return to my parents' home."
Su Yue stared at Yuan Wenxuan for a moment, and looked at her aggrieved look and couldn't help but sneer.
"I also hope you are telling the truth. Since marrying you, I have wanted to live a good life with you. I hate Pingyang Hou Mansion and even vow not to move in again. If you propose to move in, I promise you. You show your ambitions later. I give you opportunities again and again, and don't want Brother Xin to have no mother. But I was wrong. I gave up and soft-hearted again and again, feed your ambitions and indulge you to become unrecognizable. If this time, I forgive you, my sister-in-law's child is not saved, will you take her life next?
Xuan'er, have you ever put yourself in my shoes? I don't need you to do too much for me. Just this thing, respect and love each other with my brother and sister-in-law. How did you do it? You are not hurting my sister-in-law, but stabbing me in the heart. If I let you go, how can I face my brother?"
When Shang Zhi told the story of the ancestral hall, he knew that Yuan Wenxuan did not cover the sky with one hand and destroyed all the evidence!
The reason why Shang Zhi did not use means to force her to question was that her identity was inappropriate. She was a married daughter. Although she was seeking justice for her sister-in-law, it was inevitable that after the matter was settled, her sister-in-law would think too much, so she did not do it herself. She chose to tell it in front of everyone and provide a clue. If they wanted the truth, they would definitely tie up the people guarding the ancestral hall to interrogate.
Su Yi did not do this, and he didn't even pursue it. He waved everyone away in order not to make things too ugly. The brothers broke up and kept his face for him.
But he had to accept this love. If he did nothing, he would definitely lose his heart and the friendship between brothers would be separated.
They are a mother and brother who are born and die.
The one he was most reluctant to hurt was his relatives, but Yuan Wenxuan forced him to this point!
"The night is deep tonight. You have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will ask the servants to pack up the cage and count the dowry. After all, you will find Gao Fu and he will arrange a carriage to take you back." Su Yue turned around and walked out with great strides.
Yuan Wenxuan's mind was blank. She felt that she had tinnitus, so she didn't hear what he said.
Until Su Yue walked to the door, she hissed and shouted: "Stop!"
Su Yue paused and left without looking back.
Yuan Wenxuan threw down the comb and rushed up to grab Su Yue's hand, "A Yue, you are so cruel! There is no evidence, you just pour dirty water on me and you have to leave me! I'll wait for you for three years, marry you for more than two years, and we can count the days we have together. I am pregnant with my child alone, and I can't eat morning sickness,
I was silently enduring my legs at night, and I was alone in reporting good news but not bad news. Who can understand the sadness? You came back from winning the battle. I thought I had finally survived the hard days and we were together in the future, but what I was waiting for was your distrust and your divorce letter! What did I do wrong? Are you going to force me to death?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't have advised my sister-in-law to go back to her room to rest today! I'm afraid that my kindness will be in your eyes to fight for power and profit!" Yuan Wenxuan burst into tears and refused to admit that she was wrong.
Su Yue cherishes the relationship between husband and wife and wants to part with decent attitude.
Yuan Wenxuan refused to admit her mistakes and completely angered Su Yue.
He suddenly pushed Yuan Wenxuan away, his eyes red, "You won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Yuan Wenxuan looked at Su Yue, who was full of resentment, and felt a little uneasy, and she didn't even bother to fall and hurt her butt.
Su Yue shouted outside the house, "Gao Fu!"
Gao Fu came in with a maid and threw the man to the ground.
"Ah!" Yuan Wenxuan screamed in fear, looking at the maid covered in blood, her face pale as paper, and her lips trembled, "A Yue... Listen to me..." Yuan Wenxuan recognized that she was the maid guarding the ancestral hall. She was completely panicked, got up, knelt at Su Yue's feet, and grabbed his robe, "I was wrong! I was obsessed with the incense shop before, and used the problematic Su Hexiang as the manager of Su Hexiang for purchasing, and wanted to fall into my sister-in-law's child without knowing it. I was very scared in my heart for the first time doing this. I regretted it, but my sister-in-law was already using it. If I confess, you will definitely drive me out. I am trembling every day, for fear of hearing something happen to my sister-in-law."
"The ancestral hall... I have been sprinkled in the musk in the ancestral hall for a long time. I asked the maid to pour it over. She didn't do it as I told her. If I went to the ancestral hall for no reason, I would definitely make you suspicious and dare not go to check it out."
Now that the matter is over, Yuan Wenxuan dares not hide it anymore. She is frank and lenient. Su Yue may be able to forgive her again.
"I was worried that it would not be destroyed, so I advised my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law didn't listen to me, she refused to listen to me, and was guarding me everywhere..."
Yuan Wenxuan regretted Su Yue’s ruthlessness! She really regretted it!
"A Yue, I will never dare to do it again. Don't leave me. Brother Xin can't have no mother without a mother. Please forgive me for this time because of Brother Xin'er's affection. My sister-in-law's child is not a serious problem. I apologize for her. Our family will move out. I will no longer covet something that does not belong to me. I will do my duty and be a good wife and mother, okay?"
Yuan Wenxuan begged Su Yue.
Su Yue felt uncomfortable when he looked at her tears. He treated Yuan Wenxuan as his wife who had been together until old age, and wanted to cherish their mother and son. Things went against their wishes, and he got to this point.
She did it and she had already had a child. Su Yue didn't want to pursue it?
"Xuan'er, I have given you two chances. In front of my elder brother, you will confess that I will apologize to my elder brother. I just asked you again. If you confess, tomorrow we will apologize to my brother and sister-in-law and move out of the Hou Mansion to Tongque Street, you will not tell the truth. I want to divorce you and give you the last dignity, but you are still defending yourself. If you say I don't trust you, why have you ever trusted me? Rights are really so important to you?"
"No, no..." Yuan Wenxuan shook her head, thinking that she wanted nothing, as long as Su Yue didn't leave her.
"I don't have the ability and can't give you what you want. Even if I'm together, you won't be happy and will eventually become a pair of resentful couples. Let's let each other go well." Su Yue pried her fingers apart one by one and left without looking back.
Gao Fu took the maid away, and the smell of blood in the room could not be dissipated.
Yuan Wenxuan stood there, looking at her fingers, and slowly squatted down, covering her face and sobbing and crying.
Citron stood at the door, listening to all the conversations, and was flustered in, stumbled in, watching Yuan Wenxuan squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, tears also fell down.
"Madam, second master..." Citron quickly turned his mind, "Madam, you go and apologize to the eldest lady. As long as she is willing to forgive you, this matter will be exposed. Second master will definitely give you a chance for the sake of the young master. Look, Second master has feelings for you, but he just wants to give the marquis an explanation."
Yuan Wenxuan suddenly raised her head and grabbed Citron's arm tightly, as if she was holding the last glimmer of hope, "Will it?"
Citron hesitated for a moment and touched Yuan Wenxuan's swollen eyes. She nodded.
Yuan Wenxuan never thought that Su Yue would divorce her. He was so good before, and he had almost no temper.
When she was little, even if she slapped him in the face, he would come over to coax her.
It was this kind of Su Yue that made her think that no matter what she did wrong, he would forgive her without any bottom line.
Today, she woke up and was so wrong!
Yuan Wenxuan regretted not listening to her mother, and she reached the point where she could not recover.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she is unwilling to give up.
Because Yuan Wenxuan knew clearly that no one would treat her better than Su Yue.
She stood up and rushed out of the room. She saw the wet nurse coming out of the next room and stopped immediately.
"What's wrong with Brother Xin?" Yuan Wenxuan asked worriedly. At this moment, she hoped Brother Xin would sleep with her for one night yesterday, and today she was muttering to ask for her mother. Su Yue thought about taking back his previous words for the sake of the child. "Is he looking for me?"
The house was not soundproof, and the noise in the main room was heard by the wet nurse.
Her eyes were complicated and she felt that Yuan Wenxuan didn't know how to cherish it. If she didn't do a good second wife, what's the point of fighting for the power of the family?
How many of the wife of the Zhang family outside are loved by her husband?
Only when you don’t have the love of your husband can you hold power tightly.
If these ladies choose, most of them are willing to give up their power in exchange for the love between husband and wife.
But she lost her power and ended up in vain.
"No. The second master is with the young master in the house."
The wet nurse felt that it was a pity. Su Yue was good to Yuan Wenxuan, and they all saw it as servants.
Yuan Wenxuan was stunned, stared at the dim wing room, and suddenly lost all her courage.
She has lost her husband and children, power, and will she even abandon her last dignity?
Finally, Yuan Wenxuan stood in the yard for the middle of the night, and was helped back to the house by Citron and did not sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Gao Fu sent Su Yue's divorce letter.
