Chapter 14: So-Called Family

It was not until this moment that Yunfeng and his wife realized that the servant standing next to Mrs. Xu was Yunzhi’s.

The old woman, Mrs. Ma, repeated to Yunfeng and Lin Meijiao what she had previously said to Mrs. Xu. After hearing this, the two looked very unhappy.

It was unclear whether it was because An Xiuyuan had demoted his wife to a concubine or because Yunzhi had acted on her own, divorcing without her family’s consent.

Looking at her son and daughter-in-law with grim faces, Mrs. Xu asked, “Feng’er, Feng’er’s wife, tell me, how should we handle this? If we let your elder sister return, it will surely affect the Marriage prospects of other girls in the house.”

Yunfeng and Lin Meijiao exchanged glances. Even if Mrs. Xu hadn’t mentioned it, they had already thought about this problem. Their first child was a daughter, and if she couldn’t Marry well because of Yunzhi, it wouldn’t be good.

Mrs. Xu had precisely targeted this point and therefore summoned the two. She believed that they would not let her down.

Sure enough, Yunfeng quickly spoke, saying, “Since elder sister is so inconsiderate of her family, let her become a nun.”

“That’s not good, is it? She is your sister after all.” Mrs. Xu said in a feigned Manner. However, she was overjoyed at heart, her son had thought along the same lines as her.

Actually, the best solution would be to let Yunzhi die. But if she died right after the divorce, others would surely suspect something, which would have a bad impact on their household.

It would be better to let her become a nun, and tell everyone that she had gone to pray for the longevity of her family elders. This way, it would be more presentable, and people wouldn’t say anything, they might even praise her for being filial.

“What sister? She doesn’t care about us at all. As expected, those who haven’t grown up together aren’t close. Such a big Matter, she could have sent us a message, allowing us to discuss it. But she, on the other hand, only sent someone to deliver the news after the divorce, completely disregarding us. Since that’s the case, she doesn’t need to return to this family, she can just go be a nun.”

Hearing Yunfeng’s words, Mrs. Ma felt a chill in her heart. What kind of brother was this? Clearly, the eldest miss had suffered injustice, but instead of standing up for her as her brother, he not only refused to let her return home but also wanted to Make her a nun, it was simply too much.

No, she had to tell the eldest miss, let her not return to the house. It would be better to start her own life than to be disliked and forced to become a nun by her own family.

Thinking this, Mrs. Ma immediately said to Mrs. Xu, “Madam, I have delivered the message, I will leave now.”

She was about to leave when Mrs. Xu coldly shouted, “Stop!”

Mrs. Ma had to stop and turn to look at Mrs. Xu, asking, “Madam, what else do you need?”

“What’s the hurry?” Mrs. Xu could see that Mrs. Ma was going to deliver the news, but she didn’t want Yunzhi to know what she and her son and daughter-in-law had said. Otherwise, Yunzhi would be angry and not return, then what would happen to her dowry?

She knew that the Xu family had given Yunzhi a lot of dowry. Not only was it better than what she had received when she Married, but it was also more.

This was one of the reasons why Mrs. Xu disliked Yunzhi. Of course, there was another reason.

Thinking of that reason, Mrs. Xu’s face turned ugly for a moment.

However, she quickly recovered and said to Mrs. Ma, “Stay in the house for now. We’ll talk when your mistress arrives.”

“Yes!” Mrs. Ma could only agree.

Mrs. Xu wouldn’t let her go, so she couldn’t leave.

After all, this was the Yun residence.
