  Chapter 26 Courage

  Joe didn't realize it was over until he received the letter of divorce with wet ink on it.

   "Master, master, you can't treat me like this. You and I have been husband and wife for more than 20 years..." The usual dignified and seriousness has long been thrown out of the sky, and Qiao Shi is a little crazy while grabbing Duan Shaoqing's sleeve.

  Duan Shaoqing turned his face away: "You can do it yourself."

  The second girl, Duan Yunhua, sensed the news and rushed to her.

   "Father, why did you divorce your mother?"

  Duan Shaoqing was already upset, but his daughter's questioning made him even more annoyed, so he immediately said with a straight face: "Don't meddle in your lord's affairs."

  Duan Yunhua stared at Duan Shaoqing in disbelief, with a sharp voice: "That's my mother! You treat your mother like this, have you ever thought about me and elder brother? Eldest brother—"

  Duan Yunhua got excited and found the life-saving driftwood: "I'm going to tell my brother!"

  Seeing her running outside, Duan Shaoqing yelled: "Take the second girl back to the room, and you are not allowed to go out for two days!"

  Tomorrow is the ten-day holiday of the Imperial College. Duan Shaoqing and the old lady had planned together, and they simply waited for Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang to come back from the holiday tomorrow, and then told them about Qiao's dismissal.

   "Let go of me, let me go!" Duan Yunhua struggled.

  Duan Yunling stood in the corner and looked at Duan Yunhua who was being dragged away by the servant girl with tears flying down his face, and bit his lip lightly.

  The second sister, who used to be domineering in front of her and the eldest sister, is nothing when it comes to confronting her father.

  Duan Yunling's gaze moved slightly, and landed on Xinyou.

  Cousin Qing actually made her father divorce her aunt! Is she not afraid at all?

   No one came to answer the doubts of the little concubine in the corner, but Duan Yunling had never felt so at ease in the center of the storm.

   "Brother, what's going on?" The second master Duan Wenbai and the second wife Zhu Shi rushed over, just as Duan Yunhua was being taken away.

   "Second brother, don't ask any more questions." Duan Shaoqing's face was gloomy, and he looked as if he had aged several years.

   On the side of Shaoqing's mansion, people were panicked because of the sudden loss of the eldest wife, and on the side of Qiao's house, they also received a letter from the Duan family.

   Qiao's sister-in-law Ning Shi is the head of the Qiao family. When she opened the letter and read it, her face suddenly changed.

  In order to avoid a quarrel between the two families, although the letter did not mention Kou Qingqing's falling off the cliff, it clearly stated that Kou Qingqing's shocking horse was the work of Qiao's, which was the reason for Qiao's dismissal.

  The letter held by Ning was shaking non-stop, Ning couldn't believe it at all, and read the letter word by word.

  My sister-in-law actually did such a thing? The rumors outside are actually true!

   "Go and call the master home."

  Just at this moment, a girl walked in.

  The young girl with willow eyebrows and almond eyes is pretty, and she is lively when she speaks: "Mother, I miss my aunt, can I go and see my aunt tomorrow?"

   This girl is Qiao's natal niece, her maiden name is Ruozhu.

  The Ning family was in the midst of a huge shock, and after hearing her daughter's words, she blurted out: "Go back to your room!"

   "Mother?" Qiao Ruozhu was stunned, as if she had been slapped, her face was burning hot.

"go back!"

  Qiao Ruozhu covered his face and ran away.

  When the people from the Qiao family came to the door, it was already the time when the lights were on.

  The Shaoqing Mansion is brightly lit, but deserted. The old lady is not in the mood to eat dinner, and the others are naturally not in the mood to eat.

  Mr. Qiao was tired of crying and scolding enough. She sat there with a numb expression until she was picked up and walked outside. She suddenly stopped: "I want to say a few words to my cousin."

  The person supporting Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but look at the old lady.

  The old lady wanted to refuse subconsciously, but she looked at Qiao Shi and was afraid of irritating her, so she turned her eyes to Xinyou.

   "It's just right, I also want to say a few words to Mrs. Qiao." Xin You walked over to Mrs. Qiao.

  The change of name was like a sharp knife, stabbing Joe even more painful. She stared at the girl standing in front of her, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

   "Cousin girl, are you satisfied with the result?" Qiao said with difficulty.

  As soon as this question came up, the eyes of the old lady and Duan Shaoqing fell on Xin You.

  Xin You said lightly: "It's not a matter of dissatisfaction. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. It's an explanation."

  Give an explanation to Miss Kou who died in vain.

   "I also want to ask Mrs. Qiao, why did you treat me like this?" Xin You showed just the right amount of doubt on her face.

   Qiao's complexion changed several times, suppressing the overwhelming unwillingness, and said coldly: "I don't want you to marry Chen'er, you are not worthy of him."

   "Is that so—" Xin You stretched out her voice, and the sneer flickered from her lips.

   She is really a good mother who cares for her children wholeheartedly. At this time, she can bear to say only half of the words.

  Obviously, the millions of dollars of wealth is the root cause of Kou Qingqing's death. If there is no such money, Qiao will be dissatisfied with Kou Qingqing's daughter-in-law and resolutely refuse.

  But even though Mrs. Qiao hated the old lady who forced her son to divorce his wife at the moment, and hated the husband who ignored the relationship between husband and wife for many years, he still didn't mention this property.

   She was afraid of reminding the young girl in front of her that her children would not be able to benefit if the millions of fortunes were gone.

  Thinking about this, Xin You felt more and more sympathetic to Kou Qingqing.

   Qiao's motherly love, if you can think about it from the standpoint of Kou Qingqing's mother who died young.

  Xin You returned to the old lady's side, and quietly stopped talking.

   The meal needs to be eaten in one bite. The most important thing at this time is to settle the matter of Qiao's divorce. As for what to do with Kou Qingqing's family wealth, I have to talk to Xiaolian.

  Qiao's family knew that they were right and did not make trouble, and neither did Qiao's. The old lady heaved a sigh of relief and comforted Xin You: "Don't listen to Qiao's nonsense, go back to Wanqingju and rest."

   "Qingqing resigns."

  Duan Yunling also retreated silently, caught up with Xin You and thanked in a low voice: "Cousin Qing, thank you."

  Xin You smiled: "Today's results are inseparable from Cousin Ling's bravery."

brave?

  Duan Yunling muttered these two words, her eyes wet: "I always thought that it was useless..."

   "No, courage will always be one of the most precious qualities, especially for us women."

  This is what my mother told her when she was very young.

  She kept it firmly in mind and worked hard to possess it. When she witnessed the tragic death of her mother, she was not overwhelmed.

   "Cousin Qing, what will the eldest sister do in the future?" Duan Yunling asked Duan Yunwan who hadn't appeared since she was taken away by the maid to change clothes.

   "I don't know." Xin You replied honestly, "But I think, no matter how bad the result is, it's better than being pushed into a pool by an evil servant and drowning."

  Duan Yunling bit her lip and nodded slightly, watching Xinyou's back gradually melt into the night.

Back at Wanqing Residence, Xin You called to Nanny Fang: "Tomorrow Duan and Qiao's family will have property delivery, and the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master will also come back from the Imperial College. The house must be in a hurry. Nanny, there is something I would like to trouble you for." you."

   "Young lady will offend this old slave by saying that. If you have anything to do, just tell me, and this old slave will try my best to do it."

   Qiao's dismissal, not only Xiao Lian, but also Nanny Fang were excited.

   "Go and help me inquire about a bookstore, Qingsong Bookstore."
