Chapter 177 Divorce Wife
Chapter 177 Divorce Wife
Although Song Wanshi had such a big scandal, it was suppressed by the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion and no one outside knew about it. The reason why the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion did not make a big fuss about this matter was not for Song Wanshi's reputation, but for the reputation of the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion itself.
If such a scandal spread, Song Wanshi would not be able to face anyone in the capital from then on. Wen Tingbai already had a bad reputation. If this matter was added, it would be even more difficult for Wen Tingxun, who still had no wife, to marry in the future, not to mention that Wen Tingbo wanted to take a second wife.
Song Zhan of the Song Mansion was informed of this matter not long ago. He had just married his new wife, so he had no time to care about Song Wanshi's affairs. Now that he heard that Song Wanshi had done such a shameful thing, he couldn't just ignore it and let outsiders think that he was a father who didn't care about his children. He could only suppress his anger and go to the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion.
If he completely ignored it now, and the news spread, the reputation of the entire Song family would be ruined, and Song Wanxiu, who was married off, would also be divorced. By then, the Song family would be in turmoil and there would be no peace.
The Song family has already had the disgraceful Nan Hongqiu. Song Zhan could not have imagined that his own daughter would now do such a shameful thing. It really brought shame to him.
When Song Zhan arrived at the residence of Marquis Zhongping, the people there brought Song Wanshi and Guan Wenyan out of the woodshed.
Now Song Wanshi no longer looked like a main wife. Her hair had become disheveled from being pulled and her face was deformed and old. Song Zhan would believe that she was in her seventies or eighties.
"Father, please save me... I know I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. I just drank too much and made mistakes. I have always done my duty. Father, please understand."
Song Wanshi knelt on the ground and sobbed softly, and beside Song Wanshi, Guan Wenyan didn't even dare to raise his head.
After all, Guan Wenyan came to the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion to help Song Wanshi, but he didn't expect that he would end up in Song Wanshi's bed and was caught by Wen Tingbai.
Now the Wen family is very angry, and they are not happy to see Song Zhan. When Mrs. Wang saw Song Zhan, she sneered, "Sir Song raised a good daughter, but now she has done such a shameless thing. Sir, you should give us an explanation. Sir, what do you think should be done now?"
Song Zhan felt his face burning, but he could only bite the bullet and speak, "Now that my daughter has done something like this, she is too embarrassed to stay in the Zhongping Marquis's mansion. Master Bai, please write a divorce letter and send my daughter back home."
Although Madam Wang was not very happy now, she still had to give face to Song Zhan, and said coldly, "When Wanshi returns to the Song Mansion in the future, I hope she can restrain herself and behave properly."
If anyone in the whole hall were to be the happiest, it would definitely be Wen Tingbai. He had never wanted to marry Song Wanshi in the first place, but now that he could divorce her, he was happier than anyone else.
Upon seeing this, Wen Tingbai immediately wrote a divorce letter on a piece of paper. He finished writing very quickly and handed it to Song Zhan in a pretentious manner. "Sir Song, Tingbai has done his best as a son-in-law, but he didn't expect to end up like this. I hope you will educate your daughter well in the future and not let her do such a thing again. The Marquis Zhongping Mansion kept it a secret from outsiders because it was for Wanshi's sake."
Song Zhan did not refute when he heard this. He just took the divorce letter, glared at Song Wanshi fiercely, and said to the servants behind him, "Put these two shameless people in the carriage. Don't let anyone see them."
The servants responded and turned around to take Song Wanshi and Guan Wenyan out.
Song Zhan felt ashamed now, and he left the Zhongping Marquis's residence after exchanging a few pleasantries. His mind was now on his new wife, so he had no time to care about his disfigured and troublesome daughter.
That's why he returned to the Song Mansion. Song Zhan called Madam Guan to discuss with her what to do about the current situation.
Mrs. Guan was so frightened when she saw the two of them, she almost fell to the ground, but she still patiently asked, "What happened?"
"What's wrong? Ask your good son what good things he has done." Song Zhan rolled his eyes and no longer looked at Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guan quickly squatted down, took the cloth off Guan Wenyan's mouth, and hurriedly untied the rope for him. When Guan Wenyan saw Mrs. Guan, he had no place to vent his grievances, so he looked at Mrs. Guan and said, "Mother, please think of a way to save the child."
"What happened?" Madam Guan said, turning to look at the ugly Song Wanshi, a little confused, "Didn't you go to the Marquis' Mansion to help your cousin? Why are you tied up and sent back now?"
Guan Wenyan was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but Song Zhan who was standing beside him spoke up, "Why? Your son went to the Marquis' Mansion and did something indecent with my good daughter and was caught red-handed, and you actually opened your mouth to ask why."
Mrs. Guan sat on the ground in a daze. She really didn't expect this to be the outcome. She glanced at Song Wanshi again and didn't expect that Guan Wenyan could actually eat.
Madam Guan's chin trembled, and she looked at Song Zhan and said, "Brother, how do you think this matter should be resolved now?"
Song Zhan looked at Song Wanshi and felt that it was really unbearable to watch. "Now that Sister Shi has been divorced, she has nowhere to go. It will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future. Since Wen Yan and Sister Shi really like each other, I will quietly marry Sister Shi and treat her as if I had married into your family from the beginning."
Mrs. Guan has now realized that after such an incident, if Guan Wenyan does not marry Song Wanshi, there will be no way out.
Guan Wenyan's eyes also flashed with despair, but then he was replaced by calculation. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Song Zhan, "Uncle, I am willing to marry my cousin now, as long as my cousin does not despise my family's poverty."
Song Wanshi, who was standing by, was so moved that she almost cried after hearing what Song Zhan said. She now really believed that Guan Wenyan really liked her.
After hearing what Guan Wenyan said, Song Zhan's anger finally subsided a little. "This girl has a lot of dowry in the Marquis' Mansion. If you bring them all to your house, I'm afraid you won't have a hard time in the future. I'll buy you a house in the capital, and you can live your own lives in the future. I won't interfere anymore."
When Song Wanshi heard this, she lowered her head dejectedly. Now that Nan Hongqiu was not around, Song Zhan was the one making the decisions, and she could do nothing about it.
Guan Wenyan swore to the sky, "Uncle, don't worry, I will be devoted to Wanshi in the future."
