Chapter 219 Heli Shu
Sheng Huai choked.
This time, Lu Youqing didn't even give him a chance to speak. She knew exactly what he would say. He was just trying to take advantage of his in-laws in the Lu family and say some hypocritical words about how they all rise and fall together.
He pushed the thing that had been prepared in his right hand forward, raised his fair chin, and said, "Sign it, and I guarantee that your son will be able to step out of the prison today."
Sheng Huai took it and his pupils suddenly contracted after seeing the three words on the far left.
That's right, this is a divorce letter.
At the very end, below the words 'From now on, we will go our separate ways and live happily ever after', Lu Sijing's name was written there so elegantly and gracefully.
Not only that, it also stated that Sheng Tang would be raised by Lu Sijing and would no longer have any connection with the Sheng family.
Sheng Huai's fingertips, which were holding the divorce agreement, were trembling slightly due to anger. He squeezed out the words one by one and said, "What does this mean?"
He had no feelings for Lu Sijing, and didn't even care about her life or death. If he wasn't afraid of getting a reputation as a cold-hearted person, he would have divorced her long ago. But that didn't mean he could accept being forced to divorce her.
That's right, coercion.
"Such a simple thing, can't Lord Sheng understand it? The pen and ink have been prepared for you. You only need to sign your name and break off all ties with your aunt from now on, and the predicament of the Sheng Mansion will be resolved."
Lu Youqing's attitude was not good, strictly speaking, it was extremely rare.
At least for Qin Ke, he had never seen his wife like this since he met her. She did not hide her disgust for someone at all.
Sheng Huai was sure that the other party must have been prepared for this matter, or that the whole thing was a trap set by her, a trap set specifically for him. Sheng Baichuan was just a bargaining chip used by the other party to restrain him.
Realizing this, Sheng Huai's first reaction was to never let the other party's plan succeed. If Lu Sijing and Sheng Tang were gone, he would no longer have the capital to threaten her.
"What if I don't sign? I don't believe that no one else is willing to help me except you. Besides, if Baichuan is convicted, Tang'er's reputation will not be good either."
Hearing this, Lu Youqing suddenly laughed out loud, the sound was clear and melodious.
But Sheng Huai found it very harsh, especially when she looked at him with such a sarcastic look.
"Master Sheng, you may try! His Majesty has ordered me to investigate this case within five days. I have already obtained all the evidence and witnesses that your son bought the test questions and participated in cheating. As long as I present it to His Majesty, given His Majesty's character, he will definitely punish you severely. Master Sheng, you may try to find a way to save your son within five days."
"Oh, no, there are only four days left." Lu Youqing's round and crystal fingertips tapped on the nanmu table inlaid with snails. With each dull knocking sound, there was also a hint of coldness in her voice.
"As for Tang'er, fame is nothing but a burden. As long as I am here, Aunt and Tang'er will always be able to live well."
Seeing him standing there in a daze, his face was pale and blue, which was very ugly.
Lu Youqing felt that his patience was about to run out, and issued an ultimatum: "Your son and the future of the Sheng family, or the freedom of your aunt and Tang'er, choose one of the two. Lord Sheng, my patience is limited, and I don't have the time to waste with you."
Humiliation, anger, helplessness and many other emotions mixed in Sheng Huai's heart. Under Lu Youqing's increasingly cold eyes, he finally reached out and picked up the pen.
He wrote his own name next to the three words 'Lu Sijing'.
After finishing writing, he threw the pen aside, raised his head angrily, and said, "So, is Lord Lu satisfied?"
Lu Youqing slowly stood up, picked up the divorce letter, blew on the ink on it, and folded it carefully after the ink was almost dry. He raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction and said, "Master Sheng must explain the divorce to the outside world, so as not to tarnish my aunt's reputation."
"Of course," Sheng Huai gritted his teeth, "What about my son?"
"Don't worry, the Sheng family will be reunited tonight."
Seeing Sheng Huai was about to leave angrily, Lu Youqing reminded him loudly: "Since we have divorced, please return the dowry that my aunt brought to the Sheng family in full. After all, you don't want to go to court and make this matter known to everyone."
Understanding the threat from the other party, Sheng Huai paused and walked away without looking back.
As soon as Sheng Huai left the house, Lu Sijing could no longer sit still and hurriedly got up and walked towards the reception room.
"Youqing?"
Lu Youqing nodded slightly at her and handed the divorce papers to her.
Lu Sijing looked at the divorce letter with mixed feelings, and all kinds of thoughts surged in her mind.
It was because of this thin piece of paper that she was trapped for half her life. And she was finally free from then on, and she no longer had to put someone else's name before her surname.
Seeing Lu Sijing with red eyes and shaking body, Lu Youqing stepped forward, held her hand, and comforted her softly: "Aunt, good days are still to come. Wait for me to help you get your dowry back, and you can do whatever you want in the future."
"I...I know that all this is thanks to you. If it weren't for you..."
"Aunt, we are a family. This is what I should do. There are only a few of us left in the Lu family. We should support each other."
As the two were talking, three round, furry heads suddenly popped out from the door frame.
Three heads poked half of their heads out in unison, holding onto the door frame with both hands and looking inside, staring at the two of them without blinking.
Lu Youqing: “…”
Lu Sijing: "..."
Seeing that he had been discovered, Qin Ke hugged Yueya, who was riding on his neck, in his arms and walked in with a smirk.
Lu Sijing looked at Sheng Tang, who was shrinking his neck behind Qin Ke, and said sternly: "Why are you hiding at the door? Is that what I taught you?"
Seeing that Sheng Tang was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head, Qin Ke quickly stuffed Yueya in his arms into his aunt's arms and explained with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Sheng left, so I came to see him out of curiosity."
Looking at Yueya's smiling little face, Lu Sijing had to swallow the rest of his words.
How could she not guess that Tang'er was worried and curious. Qin Ke saw that she was absent-minded and brought her over to find out the news.
Lu Youqing frowned slightly and glanced at Qin Ke with a hint of coquettishness. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and there was charm in the rippling light.
Qin Ke was already familiar with his wife's expression, and knew that she was not really angry with him, so he smiled slightly and put the matter behind him.
"Okay, you can live here with peace of mind in the future." Lu Youqing looked at Sheng Tang's curved eyebrows, and changed his tone, pretending to be stern: "But you must complete the homework assigned to you every day seriously."
"Oh, okay, okay," Qin Ke saw that the three people were in a good mood, and hurriedly suggested: "Now that we have solved a problem, we must celebrate tonight. I will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes."
"rice--"
Crescent Moon followed suit and danced.
The dark clouds outside the window gradually dissipated, and the originally gloomy and gray sky gradually became brighter. The warm winter sun shone through the thin clouds and onto the earth.
Warm and bright.
