Chapter 446 Shao Hua Divorces His Wife!
As she spoke, she picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, looking regretful, and there was nothing wrong with that.
However, while she could deceive Lu Shaohua and Master Lu with her appearance, how could she possibly deceive Aunt Fang's discerning eyes?
However, Aunt Fang was also shrewd. Since Madam Lu was no longer openly protecting this Yang, then she naturally had no need to make things difficult for her. After all, she was Lu Shaofeng's mother. If she went too far, it might make things difficult for Liu.
When Lu Shaohua wanted to divorce his wife, even Madam Lu stopped trying to stop him. Naturally, Master Lu wouldn't protect her either. As his sister-in-law, she had repeatedly made things difficult for his elder sister-in-law. The Lu family couldn't afford to have such a daughter-in-law!
In front of Aunt Fang, Master Lu sent someone to Yang's family home, asking them to come and take Yang back as soon as possible. If they were late, the Yang family would lose even more face.
Aunt Fang was naturally satisfied with the result. After curtsying, she returned to the Prince's Mansion to report to the Princess.
Although Yang's family home was not too far from Yanzhou, it was winter at the time. The Yang family discussed the matter further, since the Lu family had only sent someone to ask them to take Yang back without explaining why. So, they sent Yang's brother on horseback first, while Madam Yang traveled by carriage and arrived a day later.
When Yang's elder brother arrived at the Lu residence, he was not allowed to see Yang first. Instead, he was invited to the study to talk.
When Lu Shaohua saw that he had come alone, it seemed that he had come to take Madam Yang back. Upon further inquiry, he learned that he had arrived first, and Madam Yang would arrive shortly after.
As soon as Yang Shu entered the door, he saw his brother-in-law sitting there with a gloomy face, and Master Lu's expression was also very unpleasant. His heart skipped a beat; had his sister gotten into some serious trouble again?
When he saw the letter of divorce that Lu Shaohua handed him, his mind went blank and he felt completely overwhelmed!
Although the Yang family lived in a small county, they were a family of scholars for generations and a prominent family in the area. Although they were not as prominent as the Lu family, in the past hundred years, there had never been a case where a married daughter was divorced and returned to the family!
Now, the one who has been divorced is none other than his own sister!
"Brother-in-law, what exactly is going on? You can't just show me the letter of divorce without letting me know the details, can you?"
Lu Shaohua pursed his lips. Although a day had passed, he still found it difficult to speak. He had once doted on Yang Shi, but in the end, he discovered that she was a woman with a heart of stone. How could he bear it?
Having studied the classics since childhood, I now find myself revisiting past events and realizing that I've made a huge joke of myself!
He actually treated a woman like Yang Shi like a treasure and doted on her?
To protect such a vicious woman, he repeatedly made things difficult for his own brother and sister-in-law. How could he possibly have the face to stand in this family? He has utterly disgraced all scholars!
Lu Shaohua felt ashamed and found it difficult to speak. As the father-in-law, Master Lu naturally couldn't say anything directly either. Fortunately, after learning that Yang Shu had entered the mansion, Master Lu had someone summon his wife from the back courtyard. Just then, Madam Lu entered.
"Greetings to Aunt. May I ask what wrong my sister has committed that has led to such a serious situation as being divorced?" Yang Shu wasn't stupid. If his sister were divorced without a reasonable explanation, it was easy to imagine how she would live her life afterward!
"Young Master Yang, I really can't accept being called 'Auntie' by you." After a night of deep thought, Madam Lu decided to abandon Madam Yang in order to keep her husband's heart and win over everyone in the mansion.
“Young Master Yang, since this Lady Yang married into my Lu family, I have treated her well, and Shao Hua has always doted on her. She dismissed the concubines around Shao Hua, and Shao Hua didn’t say a word. But Lady Yang shouldn’t have, she shouldn’t have, set her sights on the offspring of my Lu family!”
Yang Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and said, "I heard that my sister had a miscarriage before. Could it be that she was careless and that's why?"
Yang Shu's thinking was simple; he only thought that if it was because of this, then things could still be discussed, and at least it wasn't a major mistake. Little did he know that Madam Lu's next words nearly made him faint with anger!
"Young Master Yang, let's get to the point. Madam Yang has repeatedly provoked my eldest daughter-in-law. Not only that, but a few days ago, she even dared to put safflower in Madam Liu's dishes!"
"How could this be?" Yang Shu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. To plot against the offspring of the eldest son's family, let alone divorce her, even drowning her in the pond according to the clan's rules would be beyond reproach.
How could the daughter of the Yang family bear such a serious crime?
"Take a look at this first." Madam Lu took out some of the servants' testimonies from her sleeve and showed them to him one by one.
After reading the confessions, Yang Shu's face turned extremely pale. His body went limp, and he slumped into a chair. His hand loosened, and the confessions slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground without making a sound.
“Young Master Yang, you understand the gist of the matter. Our Lu family simply cannot tolerate such a wicked woman!” Madam Lu finished speaking expressionlessly, and with a wink, the maid behind her picked up the testimonies one by one.
Then, standing beside Young Master Yang, she lowered her voice and said, "Young Master Yang, since Madam Yang hasn't arrived yet, let's wait until tomorrow. If it weren't for the fact that our two families still have some old ties, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be let off so easily. You must understand, the eldest young mistress's father now works at the Chang Le Prince's Mansion, and the eldest young husband and the Chang Le Princess are like sisters. The Chang Le Princess already knows about this matter. If we can't give the Princess an explanation?"
Master Lu naturally heard these words and frowned slightly. However, he thought that Madam was just trying to avoid making the relationship between the two families too strained. After all, the Yang family was deeply rooted in Yan, and if things got too ugly, it probably wouldn't do them any good.
Furthermore, divorcing Madam Yang now is clearly a slap in the face to the Yang family. Madam's words are simply to make the Yang family understand that their daughter offended someone she shouldn't have, which is why the Lu family has taken such drastic measures!
In this way, the Yang family's hatred towards the Lu family can be lessened and transferred to Princess Chang Le!
However, what is the status of Princess Chang Le? Naturally, she is someone that these minor aristocratic families can afford to offend!
