After Xu Yun entered, he saw Xie Wanqing's anxious face.

Xie Wanqing had been standing at the door listening.

If you look closely, you can see that Xie Wanqing's hands are shaking slightly because she is too nervous and anxious.

As soon as she saw Xu Yun, Xie Wanqing came forward, pulled Xu Yun into the house, pursed her lips, and said seriously: "Ah Yun, if he doesn't leave, can we really report to the police?"

Xu Yun gave an affirmative answer.

Hongyu then realized how long Xu Yun had started preparing: this matter was completed in the second half of last year.

Xu Yun held Xie Wanqing's cold hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, mother. Things are no longer the same as before. This is China. Besides, your imperial edict will be issued soon."

As a fifth-rank official, Xu Yun could request imperial decrees for the female members of his family.

Normal people usually give it to their wives or mothers.

It was impossible for her to have a wife, so naturally everything was given to Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing regained some confidence and calmness in Xu Yun's firm tone: "Yes, things are not the same as before. Even if he doesn't want to divorce, he can't force me to live with him."

China's respect and protection for women is completely different from that in the south.

Not only could a woman file for a divorce, but she could also write a divorce letter if the man had committed a serious fault. Moreover, a woman could also live apart from her husband - if they had been separated for more than two years, she could go to the government office to apply for a divorce.

Of course, the husband can also take the initiative to separate and then apply for divorce.

This will largely avoid the situation where a couple is entangled in resentment for a lifetime.

Xie Wanqing calmed down a lot and said, "However, given the situation, he should have a choice soon."

After being married for so many years, Xie Wanqing thought she knew Xu Sanlang a little bit.

Once Xu Sanlang finds out that he can't get any benefits here, and he has to support so many people, he will definitely choose the most advantageous option.

At that time, he would be able to completely get rid of Xu Sanlang.

Even Xie Wanqing was still worried about Xu Yun: "After I divorced him, I was completely free of him, but you..."

This is my biological father, and I can never get rid of him.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you really want to get involved with me, I will apply for an external position."

Moreover, there are many ways to make Xu Sanlang disappear - the reason why he was unwilling to kill Xu Sanlang immediately was simply because he wanted Xu Sanlang to suffer a little more and not be relieved all at once.

Seeing that Xu Yun did not seem to be holding on, Xie Wanqing's emotions gradually calmed down.

Hongyu asked someone to cook quickly. After all, Xu Yun had been busy outside all day and must be hungry.

Besides, there’s no telling what trouble Xu Sanlang and the others might cause at any time, so only after eating will we have the energy to deal with him.

Don't let this bastard delay their meals!

It ruins their health!

On the other side, when Xu Yun and her friends were having a hot meal, Xu Sanlang and his group finally found a place to stay - he didn't have much money on him during the journey and had learned to save money a long time ago, so although he didn't stay in an inn, he found a family that specialized in renting out houses for people to stay in and temporarily settled down there.

Xu Sanlang felt that, in all likelihood, this matter would still require some work.

That kid Xu Yun is more vicious than a wolf and is not easy to deal with.

However, Xu Sanlang's concubine Rong looked at the dilapidated, simple and dirty house and complained in her heart. She turned around to see Xu Sanlang standing still, sighed, gritted her teeth, and took her daughter and another concubine Qiu Guang to clean up the house.

Xu Sanlang and his son Xu Hui sat there waiting for everything to be cleaned up and discussed future plans.

Xu Hui was not stupid, so he knew what was going on. He asked Xu Sanlang in a low voice, "Dad, what should we do next?"

Xu Sanlang narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Let's show weakness first and let others watch us. After a while, we can go find Xu Yun. We can follow her for the rest, but she has to help you find a position first--"

Xu Hui whispered: "No, I want to take the imperial examination too—"

There are so few scholars in China. With his knowledge, he should be able to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

Xu Sanlang glanced at Xu Hui and said coldly, "You are so stupid! There were few scholars here before, but how can there be few scholars now? If you fail the exam, it will be a waste of money! Let her arrange it for you. Not only will you save time and money, but you will also get a better official position!"

If he really took the exam and passed, what would happen? At most, he could become a county magistrate. If Xu Yun did something else and sent him to a poor place, that would be really unbearable!

Xu Hui always listened to Xu Sanlang, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Several people settled down in this house.

In order to save money, Xu Sanlang only kept one old servant and sold all the other coachmen and horses.

Whenever there was any work, Rong was asked to do it with Qiu Guang and Xu Jiao.

He only went out with Xu Hui every day, saying that he wanted to get familiar with the city of Peking.

Xu Jiao was so angry that she cried every day.

Qiu Guang had a big quarrel with Rong every three days and a small quarrel every two days - Qiu Guang followed Xu Sanlang just because he wanted to live a good life, so how could he be willing to work?

Rong cried to Xu Sanlang, but Xu Sanlang was not partial. He directly scolded Qiu Guang and told her that if she didn't work, she would have no chance of eating. If she didn't listen, he would sell her!

Qiu Guang behaved well for a few days, but finally ran away six days later under the pretext of buying groceries.

Now, Xu Sanlang blamed Rong.

After the two had a big fight, they thought of reporting to the police, but they only learned that if they encountered such a situation, they could only register it in the book, and when they were caught, they would be escorted back.

After all, Qiu Guang had no identity or household registration, so if he ran away, he would be considered an illegal resident.

Illegal residents...are not allowed to buy houses or land. Once discovered by the government, they will be arrested and escorted back to their owners.

But if he is not discovered and hides in a ravine or someone else’s home… then there is nothing we can do.

Xu Sanlang blamed Rong again.

Rong cried all night out of grievance.

But the next day, they couldn't cry anymore.

The house they rented was inspected.

The landlord was arrested because he secretly converted his residence into a hotel without reporting to the authorities, which is illegal.

As a result, Xu Sanlang and his friends were kicked out, and they also lost the remaining rent money.

The five of them stood on the street, feeling a little confused for a moment.

After all, these people who have lived a life of luxury have never encountered such a situation, and they even don’t know how to deal with it.

This scene was described to Xu Yun by the person who was arranged by Xu Yun to keep an eye on Xu Sanlang.

After listening to this, Xu Yun smiled with satisfaction, took out a hundred coins and gave them out as rewards: "Keep watching. Report back if there is any situation."

She loved watching Xu Sanlang and his gang fighting among themselves, biting each other, and then ending up on the streets.

Isn’t this more exciting than a storybook?

However, she guessed that Xu Sanlang would come to see her again. They were running out of money.

Xu Yun pulled his clothes together, thought solemnly, and prepared himself at the same time - why not organize his words carefully and then mock Xu Sanlang harshly?
