Iron Kyu Extra (115)
Master Meng San looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, raised his head, and stared blankly at Meng Shangshu.
Meng Shangshu said lightly: "Let's write!"
Master Meng San didn't know why he felt a little scared, and asked tremblingly, "Father, what are you writing?"
"Resignation." No matter how much Mrs. Meng made a fuss in the past, for the sake of Meng Guangwu and his brothers, he would bear it. But this time Mrs. Meng San not only ran back privately, but also slandered the grandson's daughter-in-law for having an affair with others without any grounds. She completely touched Meng Shangshu's bottom line.
Chen was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically. She thought that the old man would at most send Mrs. Meng San back to her hometown, but she didn't expect to divorce her. But this is indeed a good solution once and for all. I only hope that Meng Shangshu can persevere this time and not be persuaded by others.
When Mrs. Meng heard this, her face turned pale with fright: "Father, I bear children for the Meng family, you can't let the master divorce me."
Master Meng San was also shocked: "Father, I'm all to blame for what happened this time. It's my fault. Father, if you want to punish you, punish me. For the sake of Ah Wu and Ah Li, you can spare her." Let's do it this time!" A couple of days, a hundred days of grace, although Mr. Meng San accepted Aunt Deng, the most important thing in his heart was Mrs. Meng San.
Once Meng Shangshu made up his mind, it is impossible to change his mind: "If you don't write it, I will expel you from the family and let you get out of the Meng family together with her."
Master San Meng was afraid of killing Meng Shangshu, and when he heard this, Master San Meng said with red eyes: "I will write it, and I will write it now."
Mrs. Meng San rushed forward and grabbed Master Meng San's arm and said, "Master, you and I have been married for more than 20 years, how can you be so cruel?"
No matter how important a wife is, she is not as important as myself!
Master Meng San held Mrs. Meng San's hand and said: "If I don't want to stop you, father will have to drive me out of the house. From now on, we can only live on the streets. But if you are the only one who leaves the Meng Mansion, I will still be able to take care of you in the future." your turn."
Mrs. Meng San believes that there is something wrong with this. She had only been away for a year, and Master Meng San took a concubine, and she was about to have a concubine. If she is divorced, it is guaranteed that she will remarry soon. At that time, who will care about her life or death.
Knowing that her husband could not be counted on, Mrs. Meng San cried to Meng Shangshu and said, "Old man, if you leave me as an old man, what will outsiders think of Wu Er and them? Old man, you don't have to care about our lives, but Wu Er You can't ignore their future."
"I don't need you to worry about our Meng family's affairs." After speaking, Meng Shangshu turned to the incompetent Master Meng San and said, "Write as I said."
Meng Shangshu listed three of them: disobedience to parents, jealousy, talking too much and leaving relatives.
Let the third master abandon her.
Master Meng San's hand holding the pen was shaking all the time, and he couldn't write at all: "Father, my hands are weak and I can't write."
Meng Shangshu said: "If you can't write it, then I will write it. I just hope that you don't regret it." He can't write a divorce letter, he can only write a family letter.
Master Meng San was so frightened that tears fell down his face: "Father, can't I write, can't I write?"
According to Meng Shangshu's words, Master Meng San wrote a letter of divorce. Then, drop your name.
Just as she pressed her fingerprints, Mrs. Meng San suddenly screamed: "I have witnesses, I have witnesses who can prove that the child in this bitch's belly is not from the Meng family."
Except for Meng Shangshu, everyone in the room couldn't help looking at Mrs. Meng San.
Meng Shangshu looked at Chen Shi, but saw that she was only surprised, not frightened at all.
Master Meng San hurriedly asked: "You have a witness, who is it?" If there is a definite witness, then he doesn't have to divorce his wife.
Mrs. Meng turned to Meng Shangshu and said: "Father, Guangwu can prove that the child in her belly is a villain. Father, you go and call Guangwu, and you will know that what I said is the truth."
When Chen Shi heard this, his face instantly turned pale. Meng Guangwu has always been filial, and every time Mrs. Meng makes things difficult for her, she will always let her bear it. She endured it again and again, but what she got in return was that Mrs. Meng San got worse. If Meng Guangwu had to choose between her and Mrs. Meng San, he would definitely choose Mrs. Meng San.
Master Meng San did not doubt that she was there, and said: "Since Guangwu told you that the child in Mrs. Chen's womb is not his, why didn't you say so earlier?"
But Meng Shangshu didn't even look at Mrs. Meng San, and just said indifferently: "My third son, make two more copies of the divorce letter, and then write your name and stamp it with your private seal." one serving. There is another copy that needs to be filed with the Yamen.
Master Meng San was a little confused.
Chen's complexion returned to normal. Fortunately, fortunately, the old lady was wise and didn't ask her husband to confront her. Otherwise, she really has no way out.
Meng Shangshu yelled: "Third brother, I asked you to write two more divorce papers. Are you deaf or dumb?"
Master Meng San looked at Meng Shangshu who suddenly became angry, and was too frightened to think any more: "I will write it, and I will write it now."
Mrs. Meng's third wife, Geng Shi, yelled: "Father, Ah Wu can prove that I am not lying. Father, Mrs. Chen is pregnant with a real villain. Father, you have to believe me."
Obviously, Meng Shangshu did not believe her words. Otherwise, Master Meng San would not be allowed to write two more divorce papers.
Master Meng San transcribed two more divorce papers as quickly as possible. Then, stamp your personal seal on it.
According to Meng Shangshu's instructions, Ah Qian took one of the divorce papers to the yamen for filing.
Meng Shangshu said to Mrs. Meng San, "Leave the eight thousand taels of silver that Gongzhong gave you last time, and you can take everything else away."
After finishing speaking, he didn't want to look at Mrs. Meng San again, so he asked the mother-in-law to help him out.
Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, but kowtowed three times towards Meng Shangshu with tears all over her face.
Sighing, Meng Shangshu said: "Take care of your health, and give birth to the child in a safe and sound way." He is not old and dim-sighted, Mrs. Chen is five months pregnant, if this child is not from Meng Guangwu, he will not say a word? No matter how cowardly a man is, he can't bear the shame of wearing a cuckold. What's more, Meng Guangwu is not cowardly. Besides, there was no one in the Chen family, and Meng Guangwu had no scruples at all, so how could he bear it.
As for why Mrs. Meng wanted Meng Guangwu to testify, it was just because she saw Meng Guangwu's filial piety. She thought that Meng Guangwu would sacrifice the Chen family in order to protect her.
Meng Shangshu didn't know who Meng Guangwu would choose. But no matter who he chooses, it will be a fatal blow to Meng Guangwu. Therefore, he would not let Meng Guangwu choose.
When Mrs. Meng heard that Meng Shangshu sent someone to send Geng and her dowry back to Geng's family, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind: "You really let the third son divorce Geng?" I like Taiping and Lele. So although she knew that Mrs. Meng San was messing with her daughters-in-law, she was not very willing to take care of it. The daughter-in-law always has to suffer some grievances, and it will pass after a while.
Meng Shangshu said: "Could it be that you think this is a child's play."
At first Mrs. Meng thought that Meng Shangshu was trying to scare Geng, but she didn't expect to come to the truth: "She gave birth to brothers Wu'er and Li'er. She has worked hard without merit. And she is so old. Hurry up, what will outsiders think of our Meng family?" They will think they are cold-blooded and heartless.
Meng Shangshu said: "I asked the third child to divorce her just for Wu'er and his brothers. In the past, Wu'er and the others were still young, and we watched her, so she didn't do anything too much. We won't be alive for a few years. After we die, no one will suppress her, and then Brother Wu and the others will all be dragged to death by her. If so, we may not be able to close our eyes when we go underground."
Seeing that Mrs. Meng wanted to speak again, Meng Shangshu said: "In September, Yuan Ying, the former minister of the Ministry of War, was dismissed by the emperor because his son Yuan Xun robbed a civilian girl. You should know about this."
Mrs. Meng naturally knew about such a big matter.
Meng Shangshu said: "If this incident causes Chen's dead body and two lives, if it spreads out, I will lose my position as Shangshu." in this position.
Mrs. Meng was shocked.
"The emperor is not the first emperor. He won't talk about old feelings with us. If he is on duty, he will use you. But if something goes wrong, he won't show any mercy. I will retire by myself in the future. I can take care of Fo Peng and the others. But if he is dismissed, he can only go back to his hometown." Once dismissed, he would lose face and stay in the capital.
Meng Shangshu knew where his old wife's Qicun was, and it was related to the future of him and his children and grandchildren, so she would not soften her heart.
Seeing that this matter will cause such serious consequences, how could Mrs. Meng intercede with Mrs. Meng San.
Meng Guangwu got the news, and brought several younger brothers to beg Mrs. Meng to spare Geng. As a result, the brothers were scolded bloody by Meng Shangshu, and then they were kicked out.
Meng Guangli said: "Brother, this matter was caused by my sister-in-law. Brother, if you ask my sister-in-law to beg my grandfather, there is still room for maneuver in this matter." The mother was divorced, and the brothers lost their face.
Hearing that Meng Guangwu wanted to intercede, Chen asked: "Mother said that the child in my womb is not yours, and asked you to testify. I want to know, if my grandfather really asked you to go there, what would you do?" ?”
"Mother is confused, are you also confused?" Whether the child is his or not, Meng Guangwu still doesn't know.
Mrs. Chen is actually a very gentle person. If she hadn't been forced to do nothing by Mrs. Meng San, she would not have used such methods as hanging herself and asking herself to go down.
Chen stared at Meng Guangwu and asked, "I'll ask you, if you were here at that time, would you have testified for your mother?"
Meng Guangwu was a little annoyed, and said, "What's hers? That's your mother, and it's your mother-in-law."
Mrs. Chen ignored this, but asked again: "I just want to know if you would say that the child in my belly is not yours in order to save your mother."
Meng Guangwu was so angry: "You're out of your mind, do you still need to ask about this?" He was crazy, so he put a cuckold on himself for no reason. And if this matter is confirmed, the child in Mrs. Chen's stomach will not be able to keep it. If tiger poison does not eat children, how can he kill his own child.
Seeing that he didn't answer her question directly, Chen's heart was cold: "Even if you divorce me, I won't intercede for her."
