Chapter 131 It’s Terrible (Part )
Xu Siyu didn't give Pei a chance to speak and continued to skin Lin Wangyou.
"Is it slander? Or are you being dissolute and unruly, thinking others will tolerate it? Uncle, you should think about it carefully!"
Xu Siyu grabbed Lin Yiqing's hand and prepared to leave.
Nanzhai is terrible, Xu Siyu never wants to come here again.
But Lin Yiqing held her arm and shook his head, indicating that she could not leave.
He also felt terrible, but these were his father and brother, and he couldn't just walk away like Xu Siyu.
He pulled Xu Siyu to a chair and seated her, motioning her to wait. He then bowed to Lin's father and said with a decisive heart, "Dad, think about how I established my own family in order to marry my sweetheart. Now that my eldest brother is like this, it's not appropriate for him to stay in the Lin family's south residence."
"What do you mean?" asked Lin's father.
Lin Yiqing looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "A concubine who ruins the family will only bring disaster if she stays."
Aunt Shen shuddered in Lin Wangyou's arms. Lin Wangyou immediately turned to Lin Yiqing, "Second brother, how can you say that? You know best the injustice I suffered from marrying your eldest sister-in-law. You can marry the one you love, but why can't I keep a concubine who I love?"
"Brother, you have been wronged, but you have also gained something. Have you forgotten what your sister-in-law has done for this family and for you? Even if you have been wronged, you have accepted the matter by becoming her relative. You cannot express your dissatisfaction by bullying your wife. This is not the behavior of a gentleman.
Furthermore, my sister-in-law has always been a woman of virtue and has not stopped you from taking a concubine. Now, because you have made a mistake, she is punishing you by demoting your status as a concubine. So, why do you feel wronged?"
"I...did nothing wrong, why should I be punished?" Lin Wangyou didn't want to say that he was worried about his concubine. He was afraid that the indenture was in Pei Jing's hands. If he was not at home, Shen Xiner might be given away or sold.
"Brother, are you still my elder brother, the eldest young master of the Lin family, the father of Lin Ke and Lin Zhe? Look at how you look now. I really don't know who came from Xiaoxiang Tower, you or this Shen? Where is the upright character that my Lin family pursues? Look at the way you kneel. Don't you look like a young man who is only bewitched by his concubines?"
Lin Yiqing's words were so harsh that even Xu Siyu was shocked.
But she thought he looked very handsome now with his righteous look.
But Lin's mother couldn't accept it. "Yiqing, how could you say that about your elder brother?"
"Mother, think about it, if Father and Aunt Meng were here today, and you were the eldest sister-in-law, what would you do?"
What to do? Sell it.
But how could she be the same as Pei? Father Lin also picked up a new item, but it was sent away.
So, this family, although they say there are rules, actually they vary from person to person, which is terrible.
"Dad, let my eldest brother move out. For Dongsheng, for Lin Ke, Lin Zhe and Lin Xuan!" Lin Yiqing said concisely.
Looking at his eldest son who could not be saved, and thinking of his third son and grandson, Father Lin agreed.
Lin Yiqing personally wrote a letter of divorce and handed it to Lin Wangyou, "Brother, since you are unwilling to let your concubine become a lowly concubine, then the Lin family has no choice but to divorce her."
The divorce letter fluttered to the ground. Although he did not sign it, Lin Wangyou knew that his father and mother had the right to divorce the concubine on their behalf.
"No...no...Huilang, I am yours in life and your ghost in death." Shen cried bitterly, grabbed the divorce letter, crushed it and hit Lin Wangyou on the chest.
Lin Wangyou tensed up and replied to Lin Yiqing: "Second brother, Shen has done a great job in raising children."
Their generation does not know the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children because their legitimate and illegitimate mothers are like sisters and treat them the same way.
But they also have differences in clan system.
Now that only one child can survive from my eldest sister-in-law and Shen, can the children from different mothers still get along as seamlessly as the three brothers did?
"Brother, I'll give you one more chance to choose. Do you want to stay in this house and live a good life with your sister-in-law, Lin Ke, and Lin Zhe, or do you want to leave the house for a woman?"
"Hui Lang...you can't leave me...your Ji'er and I are only one year old!"
Aunt Shen's soft words, which contained endless weakness and grievance, disrupted Lin Wangyou's thoughts, and she hugged him to comfort him.
Lin Yiqing stopped trying to persuade him and asked his father to recopy the document he had used to start his own business and give it to Lin Wangyou for his signature.
Lin Wangyou shook his hands, looked at the people forcing him from all sides, and signed.
When he handed it back to Lin Yiqing, his expression was unwilling.
"Second brother, what's the point of forcing me like this? Even if we split up, I'm still my father's son, your eldest brother, and the father of Lin Ke and Lin Zhe."
"Brother, how can everything in life be perfect?" Lin Yiqing found that he still didn't understand how difficult his future would be.
Yes, they are still relatives by blood.
But according to clan law, after leaving the house, Lin Wangyou and Lin Yiqing were both members of the Lin family's side branch. Apart from being kept alive, all other wealth and glory had nothing to do with him.
From then on, if he wanted to enter the Nan residence, except for visiting during festivals, the rest of the time it would depend on whether he had value to be used by the Lin family.
Of course, he could start over like Lin Yiqing, but the woman standing next to him was a weak and helpless woman, not a self-reliant woman like Xu Siyu. Lin Yiqing didn't think that a confused man had the ability to make a comeback.
Furthermore, their Lin family is no longer what it used to be, and they do not have the invisible protection of the Zhou family.
Lin Wangyou's departure was accompanied by the hatred of the Pei family.
Without help, his life will not be easy.
Between their biological mother and biological father, how much respect will the two nephews have for him as their father?
Lin Wangyou has been running the business for so long, why would he do something so desperate and make his future bleak?
Lin Yiqing couldn't understand why his brother became like this.
After getting the documents for setting up his own business, Lin Yiqing asked his father to inform the uncles and aunts in the north house that the Lin family was going to open an ancestral hall again.
At Lin Yiqing's insistence, Lin Wangyou, Shen and their young child, who was not included in the family tree but had a famous name, were driven out that night.
The whole process was done quickly, and only Aunt Meng was still begging for mercy.
"Auntie, think about my third brother. He'll be marrying Miss Zhu next year when he returns from his studies. If Miss Zhu knew that the principal wife would be bullied by the concubines in the Lin family, would she still marry into the family? Or do you want to call off my third brother's marriage?"
Lin Yiqing said this to Aunt Meng and also to Lin's mother.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Lin Dongsheng is also their son. The eldest brother of the Zhu family is the deputy commander of the imperial guards of the Ming Palace. This marriage is a great opportunity and they cannot miss it.
There was no room for redemption, so they bought some of their private property and gave it to Lin Wangyou.
The Pei family did not say much during this process because Lin Yiqing forced Lin's father to give all the Linglong Cloth Shop to the Pei family in the Lin family ancestral hall, and he promised to take care of the cloth shop business.
The Pei family was impressed by Lin Yiqing's promise, so they agreed to take over the cloth shop according to his wishes without worrying about the inheritance issue of their two nephews.
