The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 715: Failed Divorce

Ling Wei made up her mind and instructed the maid, "Pack up the things."

"Bring everything that can be taken, tomorrow morning, we return to the mansion."

The maids immediately started moving, packing all the clothes and utensils.

Early the next morning, three carriages left the Duke Mansion.

Lady Wu quickly received the news that Ling Wei took a lot of luggage back to the Changping Marquis Mansion. She said indifferently, "Ignore her."

It’s not her daughter-in-law leaving, she’s not in a hurry.

A few days later, a message came from the Changping Marquis Mansion saying that Ling Wei wanted a divorce.

When the maid came in to deliver the message, Jiang Zhongxing happened to be there, and he said coldly, "Go reply to the people at the Changping Marquis Mansion, divorce is fine, they don’t have to return the betrothal gifts, and they can take back the dowry."

"But one thing, the benefits given by Aunt Su, they have to return everything."

He actually didn’t care if Jiang Han would get a divorce, but the Changping Marquis Mansion couldn’t treat the Duke Mansion as a fool.

In order to maintain this marriage, Aunt Su gave the Changping Marquis Mansion some fields and shops, cashing two thousand taels of silver, totaling about fifty thousand taels of silver.

Although the Marquis Changping still holds an official position, and the Changping Marquis Mansion is not considered declining, the former old Marquis had too many children, with two to thirty legitimate and illegitimate offspring, and they spent a lot of silver arranging all their marriages.

Before the old Marquis passed, he presided over the division of the family, some sons took houses, some took shops, some received a settlement of five thousand taels of silver, essentially draining the resources of the Changping Marquis Mansion.

The silver and properties given by Aunt Su allowed the Changping Marquis Mansion to catch a big breath.

Now to return them?

Wouldn’t it mean going back to those struggling days?

After hearing from Jiang Zhongxing, the Marquis of Changping and his wife pondered, these silver properties could not be returned.

As for their eldest daughter, even if divorced and returned home, she could not marry into a good family, losing the value of a marital alliance.

The priorities were clear.

So the day after Jiang Zhongxing sent the message, Ling Wei was sent back to the Duke Mansion.

Ling Wei didn’t know her parents had accepted silver from Aunt Su, she just thought the Duke Mansion disagreed with the divorce and returned home full of resentment.

The next morning, when she went to greet the Duke and Lady Wu, Lady Wu took a sip of water, looked up, and saw Ling Wei’s eyes full of venom.

Lady Wu said indifferently, "No need to hate us, it’s not us who are stopping you from divorcing."

"Your family, besides the betrothal gifts, privately received three thousand taels of silver properties and two thousand in cash from our mansion, now wanting a divorce, isn’t it right to return these things? Your parents refuse to return the silver, who can you blame?"

Then Lady Wu sneered, "If you want to blame, blame your parents for thinking you’re not worth fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Ling Wei’s face turned pale, unsteady on her feet.

She never thought the truth behind her family’s continuous concessions to the Duke Mansion was so disgraceful.

Just then, Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao came in hand in hand to greet Lady Wu.

Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two, and thinking about the man she married, herself a legitimate daughter of a Marquis Mansion fell to such a state, Ling Wei cried and ran out of the main room.

Yun Jiao was puzzled, "What’s wrong with her?"

Lady Wu, in a good mood, said, "Ignore her. Oh, Jiao Jiao, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

She stroked her belly and said slowly, "I’m getting old, and with this pregnancy, I often feel lacking in energy. You’re young and full of energy now, I want to hand over the household matters to you."
