Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 176.2

It was a pity that she had neglected to wipe her mouth after eating the food. The shine of oil that was still present on the corner of her lips made her look a little ridiculous.

Su Yucheng inexplicably felt a sense of sadness. He didn’t know whether it was for himself or for the other party. He handed over the letter of divorce in his hand. “Here is the letter of divorce. I will arrange for someone to send you back to your hometown. I have already told father. From the money that my sister gave, twenty taels of silver will be given to you. This money should be enough for you to live for several years. As for the future, I hope you can take care of yourself.”

Hearing this, Zhu-shi was stunned.

Her mouth dropped open, and shock was written all over her face. She was unable to say a word. She could only make a gurgling sound, indicating she wanted to speak.

Su Yucheng couldn’t bear to look any longer. “You should rest early.” After speaking, he turned and left.

“Su Yucheng…”

Zhu-shi’s crying and cursing lasted for the entire night, disturbing their neighbours.

When it was the middle of the night, their neighbour couldn’t take it any longer and came to knock on the Su Family’s door. They said that if the disturbance continued, they would report it to the police. Only then did Zhu-shi stop making trouble.

The next day, both Su Xiucai and Su Yucheng left the house with dark circles under their eyes. Lancao didn’t dare to stay at the Su Family’s house, so she went to the Yao Family’s house next door. This was because Zhu-shi seemed to have gone insane. Every time she saw her, she would go crazy and try to beat her up.

After two full days of yelling, seeing that the Su Family was still unmoved, Zhu-shi finally changed her ways and began to act pitifully. It was just that after experiencing her hysterical cries over the last two days, no one believed she had repented. Even Dong Ge’er and her other children avoided her.

The three children weren’t close to Zhu-shi, to begin with. Zhu-shi not only ignored them but sometimes when Dong Ge’er and the others caused trouble, she would even scold them and beat them. How could the children be close to her? When Zhu-shi called for Dong Ge’er and the others, Dong Ge’er’s reaction was alright. Since he was already sensible, he didn’t make a fuss and simply hid. As for the two younger ones, they started crying for their grandmother and burrowed into Wu-shi’s arms.

After Yao Cheng found someone willing to escort her home and negotiated the price, Su Yucheng finally spoke to Zhu-shi again.

Zhu-shi probably also knew it was impossible to go back to the way things were before. Besides, she was someone who cared about her face the most. It was already rare for her to make such a big fuss. She didn’t bother trying to beg one last time. She simply packed her things and planned to return home.

Just like that, carrying her meagre belongings, Zhu-shi left the Su Family.

After this trip, they would probably never see each other again for the rest of their life.contemporary romance

Su Yucheng couldn’t ask for leave, so it was Yao Cheng who personally sent Zhu-shi to the couriers’ place. The silver had already been paid. Yao Cheng also didn’t have anything extra to say to Zhu-shi, so he simply bid her farewell and left.

Zhu-shi sat on the stone steps carrying her belongings in her arms as she waited. The people next to her were loading goods onto the carriages. People like Zhu-shi who travelled with the couriers would follow after the main convoy and the journey was extremely safe.

At this time, Zhu’s heart was full of grief and anger. She was full of hatred towards the Su Family and even the Yao Family.

She hated those people whose consciences had all been eaten by dogs. She had no sense of self-awareness at all. If she did, she and Su Yucheng wouldn’t be where they are today.

“You are the madam of the Su Family, Zhu-shi?” A dark figure suddenly blocked the light in front of Zhu-shi.

“You are?”

“My master wishes to invite you to discuss something.”

Jin Wang had just left the gate of the Ministry of Works when he noticed a familiar face standing on the street corner not far away.

He didn’t look long and simply continued to walk down the street. At this time, it was when everyone got off work, so Qipan Street was very lively. Carriages and horses were travelling nonstop, and people were coming and going.

By now Jin Wang walking on the streets no longer caught everyone’s attention. Even if someone crossed paths with him, they would just nod or cup their hands in greetings. Everyone knew that even though His Highness Jin Wang looked a little cold, he wasn’t someone to put on airs.

It wasn’t until they finally turned onto another street that a middle-aged man dressed in blue hurriedly caught up to Jin Wang.

Jin Wang stopped and looked at the other party.

“Your Highness Jin Wang, about the matter that my master mentioned, have you thought about it? It has been a long time, and there has yet to be a definite response from your side. My master is not pleased.” The middle-aged man was thin with a tall physique, a long face, and a pair of shining eyes, looking very capable. Anyone who was familiar with the various households in the capital would know that this person was the head steward of Duke Xuguo Manor, Xu Ji.
