Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 176.1

Although Zhu-shi said all that, she could tell Su Yucheng was serious, so she didn’t come out of the east wing

Su Yucheng was indeed being serious. After Su Xiucai and Yao Cheng came back, he personally invited them all over and mentioned the matter of wanting to divorce his wife.

In fact, even if Su Yucheng didn’t invite Yao Cheng over, he and Huiniang already knew about it.

The Su Family’s commotion was so fierce that Mrs. Li from the Yao Family next door wanted to bring over a ladder to climb up and watch the show. They were so loud that Yao Cheng and Huiniang were basically listening to a live broadcast.

“You really plan to divorce her? Then what will happen to Dong Ge’er and the others?” After all, Huiniang was a woman. She knew that for women in this world, after being divorced, her life would be very difficult in the future, so she couldn’t help but persuade a few words.

“Besides breastfeeding them when they were born, she had never cared for Dong Ge’er and the others. When my younger sister was at home, she took care of the children. After she left, mother was the one who took care of the children. If she had been willing to do the most basic duties of a wife and mother, I wouldn’t have reached this point today.”

“So it’s not because of that Lancao?”

Su Yucheng was stunned for a moment, before bursting into laughter. He said, “Huiniang, why did you even think of that? I only said those words to anger her. Although your elder brother is useless, I won’t tarnish the reputation of a good girl.”

Huiniang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yao Cheng. “Since you have already made up your mind, then so be it. I don’t want to be presumptuous, but that Zhu-shi really isn’t a good person. She’s the root of a lot of your family’s troubles. Dong Ge’er and the others are still young now, but they’ll likely be influenced by her somewhat as they grow up.”

After everything was said, Wu-shi only wiped her tears and said that she had let him down. Su Xiucai still hasn’t said a word, but it was his attitude that was the most important.

“Father.”

Su Xiucai looked at Su Yucheng. Although he left for work early and returned home late, and rarely talked to his children when he was free, he took notice of Su Yucheng’s recent changes. Su Xiucai often had the urge to burst into tears. In the Su Family, he was his only son. Seeing how much of a good-for-nothing he was, Su Xiucai was more anxious than anyone else.

Now that his son was finally changing, Su Xiucai felt very relieved. To be honest, he had long disliked Zhu-shi, but since his son didn’t say anything, it wasn’t his place as the father-in-law to bring it up.

“You’re not young anymore. Once you’ve made up your mind, go ahead with it, but you must consider carefully before taking action.”

“Yes, father, I understand.” Su Yucheng nodded.

This was likely going to be the biggest change in his life, and he was making this decision on his own. The Su Yucheng under the candlelight gave people a feeling that he was reborn.

He stood up and said, “I’m going to write a letter of divorce, then send her back to her hometown—” He looked at Yao Cheng with some hesitation. “Does brother-in-law have any thoughts?”

Yao Cheng pondered for a moment. “It won’t be too difficult. There are a lot of couriers in the capital, and they don’t just deliver goods. They can also deliver people, as long as you could afford to pay.”

As for money, the Su Family does have it. Before leaving Jin Wang Manor, Yaoniang gave them all the money she had saved over these past few years. It totalled to about forty or fifty taels, and she told them it was to help them settle down.

Su Yucheng nodded his thanks and proceeded to write the letter of divorce.

Although he failed in school, he did study with Su Xiucai for a few years when he was young. Writing a letter of divorce was not a big deal for him.

To be honest, a large part of why Su Yucheng was good-for-nothing instead of pursuing martial arts earlier was because Su Xiucai had high hopes for him when he was young, forcing him to study for many years. It was a pity that Su Yucheng was like a piece of rotten wood that couldn’t be carved. After trying multiple times and still failing to pass the entrance examination for children, Su Xiucai finally gave up. But by then, Su Yucheng was no longer young. He had missed the best time to learn a craft. He could still do rough labour, but his physical strength was truly lacking. Combined with Wu-shi always spoiling him, he started to live idly.

After Su Yucheng finished writing the divorce letter, he went to the east wing without a moment’s delay.

During dinner, Zhu-shi didn’t come out, and no one went to invite her. At this moment, taking advantage of there being no one outside, Zhu-shi secretly went to the kitchen to fill herself a bowl of cold rice, before devouring it hungrily.

Hearing the knock on the door, she hurriedly hid the bowl before going to open the door. Su Yucheng stood outside the door.

She curled her lips and sneered. “What are you doing here? Even if you beg me this time, I won’t forgive you.”
