Faced with the second master's questioning, the second wife did not say a word, but her eyes showed that she did think so.
?
The second master felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. He raised his hand and pressed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "No one wants to harm you. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
?
"But I can't pretend that nothing happened about what you did to our mother. For the sake of the children, I can let you continue to stay in the Feng family, but I can no longer let you manage the household affairs, and you don't have to worry about the children's affairs."
?
"This courtyard is quiet and peaceful, so you can cultivate your character here. I'll tell everyone that you are here to recuperate because of your poor health. Your daily life will remain the same as before, and no one will be disrespectful to you. The children can also come to greet you every day."
?
Even though the Second Lady poisoned her mother-in-law, she was still able to find a place to live and even retain her status as a lady, but she could no longer manage household affairs. It can be said that the Second Master had done his best for her.
?
However, the second wife did not want to stay in the Feng family.
?
On the one hand, she was worried about the Feng family, fearing that the second master was just trying to coax her into stopping making trouble with words and was secretly trying to kill her.
?
On the other hand, the Second Lady was not convinced. It sounded nice to let her recuperate in another ward, but what they wanted was to lock her up for life. How was that any different from being in prison?
?
"I don't want to stay in the Feng family, so please divorce me." The Second Madam pulled out a hairpin from her messy hair and put it against her throat. "If you don't let me go, you want to harm me. I'd rather die in front of you than live in fear all day long."
?
Feng Yushu and his siblings were all reaching the age of marriage, but their father suddenly divorced their mother, which would have a great impact on their marriages.
?
The second master was angry and thought about divorcing his wife several times, but he didn't do it because he was worried about affecting the marriages of his children. However, the second wife didn't care about the children at all and would rather be divorced than leave the Feng family.
?
No matter how good-tempered the Second Master was, he couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed and angry with the Second Madam. "It's so easy to give you a divorce letter. What about the marriages of the children? What will outsiders think? How much of a blow will the reputation of the Feng family suffer? Have you thought about all this?"
?
The second wife sneered and said, "Reputation, reputation, the only thing in your mind is the reputation of the Feng family. The reputation of the Feng family is more important to you than anything else."
?
"I have already decided to leave the Feng family. What does your Feng family's reputation have to do with me?"
?
"As for the children's marriages, they will have their own blessings. I can't even protect my own life, so what's the point of thinking about them?"
?
Now that things have come to this, what else can the Second Master say?
?
"Since you are determined to do this, I have nothing to say. I can only help you."
?
"For the sake of the children, I will not write the divorce letter. I will have someone send you back to the Chen family right now. Tomorrow I will have someone pack up the divorce letter and your dowry and send them to you."
?
The Second Lady didn't expect that the Second Master would agree to let her go home so easily. She stood there in a daze until the Second Master's footsteps disappeared and the servants came in to ask her to wash and change clothes. She was still a little dazed.
?
However, she was finally able to return to the Chen family and no longer had to worry about the Feng family killing her. The second lady felt relieved and packed up as quickly as possible, got on the carriage and left the Feng family.
?
When the second master heard from his servants that he had sent the second mistress back to the Chen family, he waved his hand with mixed feelings to signal the servants to go out. He stood outside the window, facing the osmanthus tree in front of the window for a long time.
?
Feng Yushu and his siblings suddenly heard that their mother had passed away, and asked the second master the reason.
?
The Second Master did not have the heart to tell them the truth, and only said that he and the Second Madam had different personalities.
?
Seeing that the Second Master looked unhappy, the young masters and young ladies did not dare to ask more questions, but they had already guessed the reason in their hearts.
?
They are not children anymore. So many things have happened in the mansion during this period of time, how could they not feel anything? They have already secretly guessed that the old lady's illness may be related to the second lady, but they dare not and are unwilling to believe it.
?
Now that the Second Lady had left without even saying hello, they would be fools if they couldn't guess anything.
?
The young masters and young ladies, who were usually well-behaved and taciturn, became even more silent.
?
The next day, Xie Liuzheng came to Feng's house again and noticed that the young masters and young ladies were all in a depressed mood. She roughly guessed the reason, so she didn't joke around like usual. She just said hello and left.
?
Feng Yushu walked away a few steps and turned back quietly, just in time to see Xie Liuzheng's back walking into the old lady's room. He seemed to still hear her lively and sweet laughter, and he sighed with disappointment.
?
The second wife returned to the Chen family and cursed in front of Old Lady Chen, crying and complaining about the Feng family's cruel and ungrateful treatment of her.
?
Old Madam Chen was so angry that she banged her cane loudly. She wanted to go to the Feng family to ask for an explanation. "I raised you like the apple of my eye. You are outstanding in talent and appearance. Who is wronged by marrying into the Feng family?"
?
"I have given birth to children for the Feng family and managed household chores for so many years. Even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. But Mr. Feng actually said that he would divorce my daughter if he wanted. I would rather die than let the Feng family have an easy life.
?
The Second Lady naturally couldn't let Old Lady Chen go to the Feng family to make trouble, and there was no need to save face for her if she went there or conceal the fact that she poisoned her mother-in-law.
?
She quickly pulled him back and said, "Mom, don't go to the Feng family. I've been in the Feng family for so many years and my heart has long since turned cold. Let's get a divorce. The Feng family promised to let me bring all my dowry back. I will be filial to you wholeheartedly in the future. There's nothing wrong with that."
?
When Chen Baobao heard that the second wife could bring back a dowry, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and helped her persuade Old Lady Chen, "Aunt is not living well in the Feng family, so just come back. I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
?
Chen Baobao was the favorite of old lady Chen. One word he said was more effective than a hundred words from others. Regardless of whether what he said made sense or not, he nodded and said, "My good grandson is right. The Feng family is not a good family. Your aunt has suffered for many years. Come back if you want."
?
"If I have more people around me who can talk, maybe I can live a few more years."
?
The Second Lady was relieved to see that no one asked her the reason for the divorce. The next day, the Second Master sent someone to deliver the divorce papers, and she readily pressed her fingerprints on them.
?
From then on, the second wife no longer had any relationship with the Feng family.
?
Even the young masters and young ladies of the Feng family, although they were the Second Madam's biological children, automatically severed ties with her after the divorce. Whether they would recognize her in the future depended entirely on the individual. Even if they no longer cared about her life or death, no one would say anything.
?
When the old lady learned about the second master's divorce, she was stunned for a while. The maid was worried that she was worried too much and had a heart attack, so she comforted her, "The fate between people is determined by God from the beginning. The shallow ones cannot be deep, and the deep ones cannot be shallow. There is nothing we can do about it."
