The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 385 - 381 I Want to Divorce My Wife

Ruo Zhou just happened to be passing by, heard the noise inside, and walked in, only to see Feng Pozi grabbing Zhang Rui’s hair; he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other’s hand.

Feng Pozi, in pain, turned her head and was stunned by the sight of Ruo Zhou’s eyes!

Ruo Zhou said coldly, "Let go!"

Feng Pozi subconsciously released her grip.

Only then did Ruo Zhou let go of Feng Pozi and turned to Zhang Rui with concern, "Cousin, are you alright?"

As Xuanbao’s cousin, she was also his cousin, and that was how Ruo Zhou had always addressed Zhang Rui since they were children.

Zhang Rui’s hair bun was a mess from Feng Pozi’s pulling. She stood up, her face flushed red with embarrassment, not wanting Ruo Zhou to see her like this.

She bowed her head and said in a low voice, "I’m fine, thank you, big cousin."

It was then that Feng Pozi remembered that it was Zhang Rui who had been hitting her son. What could be wrong with her?

It was her son who had been wronged!

Feng Pozi immediately regained her senses and spoke boldly, "Master Ruo, you’ve arrived at the right time, please reason this out!"

Ruo Zhou had nonetheless seen the marks of fingers on Zhang Rui’s face. He looked at Feng Jingzhong, "Did you hit her??"

Feng Jingzhong dodged the question.

Feng Pozi immediately said, "I did it! So what? She was pressing down on my son and beating him, can’t I hit her back?"

"The Zhang family is going too far, utterly defiant! My son is her husband, and she dares to press him down and beat him fiercely! I just disciplined her a bit! Since ancient times, a woman’s husband is her heaven, and she dared to hit her own husband? It’s total insubordination! This constitutes one of the seven grounds for divorce; our Zhang family can certainly divorce her."

With his mother backing him, Feng Jingzhong found his courage again. Moreover, he had only slapped Zhang Rui once, whereas Zhang Rui had slapped him several times, his face was even swollen!

He angrily agreed, "Exactly, if the Zhang family and the Ruo family don’t give me an explanation, I will divorce her! Unless you can secure an official position for me, this matter is not over!"

He was determined to use this opportunity to seek an official position for himself.

Once he became an official, he would find that person to take revenge, cutting off his lifeline, raiding his home, and leaving him without descendants.

Feng Pozi, with her arms akimbo, looked coldly at Zhang Rui, "That’s right, we must have an explanation! Otherwise, we, the Feng family, cannot afford to have such a shrew! If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation, we will divorce her! A woman who dares to beat her own husband is a shrew we, the Feng family, cannot afford. Unless you secure a position of Fifth Rank, no, Fourth Rank for my son! Then we can consider it as Zhang family’s way of making amends! We can forget all this ever happened!"

Zhang Rui laughed, having never seen such shameless people before, "Dream on about becoming an official, just divorce me! Hurry up and do it, you’re pigs if you don’t!"

Ruo Zhou glanced at her, thinking what exactly had his older cousin gone through to make someone as usually gentle as her say such things?

A woman who is divorced, especially for assaulting her husband, would likely find it difficult to be remarried, but if a woman is unhappy in her husband’s home and is being beaten, it may be better to get a divorce and return to her parents’ home.

It’s a pity he wasn’t her real older brother, nor a member of the Zhang family, and his status as a cousin was not legitimate either; it wasn’t appropriate for him to make decisions on her behalf.

All he could say was, "In this matter, you only need to consider what you want. Other matters will be taken care of by your maternal uncle, aunt, and my fourth uncle and fourth aunt. If worst comes to worst, there’s still the Princess Consort of the Ninth Prince who will definitely not let you suffer the slightest grievance. Whether to divorce or not is not for the Feng family to decide on a whim! What’s most important is what you want; if you don’t wish to continue this marriage, you can seek a divorce. Let’s go find your maternal uncle and aunt to decide for you!"

Feng Pozi was provoked by Zhang Rui’s gaze and jumped with rage, "What divorce? It’s not about getting a separation, don’t think we dare not divorce you!"

Usually, they indeed wouldn’t dare, but Zhang Rui had actually beaten her husband. If this got out, it would be difficult for the future children of the Zhang family to engage in marriage negotiations!

She was certain the Zhang family would be afraid of them divorcing Zhang Rui.

Ruo Zhou ignored what the Feng family was saying and only said to Zhang Rui, "This matter is not for the Feng family to determine. Let’s go find your maternal uncle to decide for you."

Feng Pozi reacted immediately, "How is it not for our Feng family to decide? Master Ruo of Ruo Family, are you trying to bully us with your power? Do you believe I will go to the Governor’s Office to file a complaint against you? There are Imperial Censors in the capital, right? I heard you are now the Great General of Fourth Rank? Aren’t you afraid of impeachment by the Imperial Censors for bullying?"

Ruo Zhou was not scared in the slightest, "Then go ahead and sue. There is a reason behind everything, and I trust my cousin is not someone who causes trouble without cause! She must have her reasons for hitting someone! I’m not afraid even if you file an Imperial Complaint."

Zhang Rui, hearing this, became anxious, not wanting Ruo Zhou to be impeached by the Imperial Censor and said, "If there’s an issue, take it up with me! What does this have to do with my cousin from the Ruo Family? I was the one who hit him; if you want to divorce me, then do it, I’m most afraid you won’t!"

Anyway, Zhang Rui was certain the Feng Family wouldn’t divorce her; she would never let this mother and son pair take advantage of her to gain benefits from the Ruo Family.

Feng Jingzhong, a man without backing, if he divorced her, whom could he marry? And was he not afraid that she would spread the story?

Zhang Rui looked at Feng Jingzhong with disdain.

Feng Jingzhong was infuriated by Zhang Rui’s gaze, "Divorce! Mother, I want a divorce!"
