Chapter 1014: Virtue and Virtue
Teng Elan was extremely shocked.
"You mean, when you were about to give birth, he went to a party with his friends and ignored you and the baby?"
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth in hatred, his expression extremely ugly.
Without waiting for Dan to reply, he argued first.
"Why? Lord Teng, do you think it's a merit or honor for a woman to give birth to a child?"
"Let me ask you, what woman in the world doesn't give birth to children? Is she giving birth only for me? Isn't this child hers?"
"She took some time to give birth to the child, and then I raised him for more than ten or twenty years."
“The one who really works hard is me.”
"A gathering of friends only lasts two hours at most. I'm only ignoring it for two hours, not for the rest of my life."
"Can't a man have some fun once in a while after getting married?"
Teng Elan is upright and honest, and she obeys orders with great confidence.
"Go, get some guards to keep watch over him."
The servants left in response.
Zhang Yu was furious.
"What crime have I committed? Why are you keeping watch over me?!"
Teng Elan was calm and composed, graceful and composed.
"Interfering with official business."
"I have shown mercy beyond the law by not handing you over to Tinghetai."
"Please keep quiet, Young Master Zhang."
Zhang Yu was so angry that he could only twist his mouth to express his disdain.
Teng Elan looked back.
"Miss Dan, please speak."
Dan Yao is respectful.
"To answer your Excellency, my labor was rather sudden, and his party was scheduled a few days in advance."
"He said, I can't refuse, I have to go."
"Po-chi urged him several times to come back. Afterwards, he asked me why I had ruined his fun. I answered truthfully, but he didn't believe me. He claimed that I had learned of his former lover's presence and harbored resentment, so I used the children to cause trouble and disrupt their gathering."
Teng Elan asked.
"Do you have any grudges against his old lover?"
Dan Yao is lonely.
"To say there is absolutely none is definitely a lie."
"But I resolved my sorrow on my own, and did not trouble my husband. I only hoped to become a good wife, as he wished."
At this time, several guards came as ordered, sat upright and stood guard beside Zhang Yu.
Teng Elan flipped through the contents of the book, spoke in an orderly manner, and continued to ask questions.
"okay, I get it."
"Let me ask you again, the anchor asked for help, but you didn't allow him to go. Furthermore, you suspected they were secretly in love. Is that true?"
Dan Xuan nodded.
"I did, in fact, obstruct the behavior."
Teng Elan asked deeply.
"But why?"
Dan Yao sobbed softly, briefly.
"There was no soup at home, and the child was crying from hunger. I asked him for money so I could go out and buy some soup."
Teng Elan was puzzled.
"How old is the child?"
"Don't you have any soup?"
Danyao answered in turn.
"The child is two months old."
"I don't have any soup."
Seeing her thin figure, Teng Elan made a guess.
"Is it because of a naturally weak body?"
The lush flowers are full of pity and tell the truth.
"The doctor said that the lack of mid-month and the long-term hunger have caused me to have no soup."
Upon hearing what had happened, Teng E'lan's brows were furrowed in solemnity.
"You have no means of livelihood, no savings, and you have no choice but to ask him for money?"
Dan Yao's eyes were filled with tears.
"I have a livelihood and I have savings."
"However, he took all the silver."
"He said, 'I don't know how to manage finances and accounts, so it's best if he can do it for me.'"
"I want to be a good wife, so I will bend my will and obey."
Teng Elan was filled with righteous indignation, but she suppressed her anger and did not show it on her face.
"If you can't get the money, will your mother-in-law and father-in-law help you?"
Dan Yao was sad and answered with a sorrowful tone.
"will not."
Teng Elan's anger became increasingly uncontrollable.
"How have you lived these past two months?"
The flowers are so sad and mournful, as if autumn is approaching, and the ground is bleak.
"Go to the pawn shop and pawn my jewelry."
"The day before yesterday, the silver I earned from exchanging the jewelry ran out, so I had no choice but to ask him for it."
Since taking office as the governor's assistant, Teng E'lan has witnessed many divorce mediations and thought she was used to it. However, when she faced Dan, she felt heartbroken.
"Young Master Zhang said that your support for your father, your mother, and your brother has caused his savings to dwindle. What's going on?"
Dan Yao has a clear conscience and is honest and true.
"I have done nothing like this."
Teng Elan frowned for too long and her eyebrows began to ache.
"The so-called differential treatment of elders is also groundless?"
Dan Yao's narration is well-organized and detailed.
"My Lord, you did buy the place for us to live in. However, I am renting it. I sign an IOU every month and use it to pay the rent when I have enough money."
"Poci, it is true that you come to my house every day, not to do housework, but to watch me do housework."
"My brother-in-law's livelihood has changed and he needs to stay at the pavilion temporarily. I agree."
"Unexpectedly, an unexpected situation occurred."
"Jiaci deliberately spread rumors, accusing my brother-in-law and me of infidelity. She even spread rumors that the brothers had sex with the same woman. She used this to threaten my husband's family and demanded a sufficient amount of money before she would quell the rumors."
"Before, I spent almost all my savings to raise enough for the betrothal gift. The remaining silver, as well as my monthly salary, was all taken away by my husband. Now, I really can't come up with so much money to satisfy my mother's greed..."
Teng Elan was shocked again and couldn't help showing her surprise.
"Zhang Shaolang just mentioned a marriage fraud. The person who collected the betrothal gifts wasn't him or his relatives, but you?!"
"You're holding a wedding, and you're giving both a dowry and a betrothal gift?!"
Dan Xuan sat alone, looking particularly lonely.
"Yes."
For a moment, Teng Elan found it difficult to concentrate on her work.
"Excuse me for asking something I shouldn't ask."
"You are kind and beautiful, but he is... uh... ordinary. What do you see in him that makes you cherish him so much?"
Dan Wu's eyes were dim and she looked lost.
"Your Excellency, I am too humble to praise you."
"I consider myself ordinary and feel that I am not worthy of such handsome men and talented people."
"We are an ordinary couple, neither of us has any long-term ambitions. I originally thought that we could live a stable and happy life together."
"I didn't think so. I'm still not worthy of it."
"Perhaps I am too arrogant to realize how inadequate I am."
Teng Elan was serious and stuck to the facts.
"What do you mean by arrogance? You are self-deprecating."
"In my opinion, you are as beautiful as a fairy and have both virtue and morality. You are definitely worthy of being a talented man."
"Just because someone is worthy doesn't mean you have to marry them. Because character has nothing to do with talent or appearance. Being handsome and talented doesn't mean you have a noble character."
"In my humble opinion, you should choose a noble person so that you can join hands and spend the rest of your life together."
Dan Yao was still shedding tears and was slightly startled.
"Lord Teng, do you want to grant the divorce?"
After she said that, Teng Elan realized that she had been distracted and hurried back to her work.
"My words are irrelevant and cannot be used to define the outcome of this divorce mediation."
"Back to business."
"I have asked all my questions. Now it is Zhang Shaolang's turn to speak."
Zhang Yu had a mean face and kept making accusations.
"Giving birth to a child is natural. She's not the only one who's endured this pain. Lord Teng, don't let your imagination run wild. She's paid a lot."
"Adults need to face reality. She only took care of the child for two short months."
"After two months, she's abandoning me. Is this considered a kindness in raising me?"
"She has no kindness towards the children or me."
"Husband and wife should help each other. She collected enough money for the betrothal gift, and I praised her as a virtuous wife, and the two offset each other. Prince Di Jin once said that material life and emotional value are equally important and can be equated..."
