After listening to Mrs. Han's brief explanation of the cause and effect, Third Master Huang finally understood why Mrs. Han's face became a little strange when she saw him let Yue Chang Shou leave with him yesterday.
Third Master Huang sighed and spoke: "Younger Sister, I don't want to criticize you. I know that you don't want to disturb the peace of Su Family. But doing it your way and Yue Chang Shou continues to pester you like this, he will discover that your children are all in Luohe Prefecture one day in the future. What will you do then?"
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Han felt a chill down her spine and felt lost for a while. She looked at Third Master Huang with a flustered look in her eyes: "Does Third Master have any ideas? If Third Master is willing to extend a helping hand this time, I will definitely remember Third Master's great kindness!"
Mrs. Han knew that it was wrong for her to do this, but she really had no solution. Third Master Huang was well-informed and had numerous experiences. He would have more ideas than her.
Third Master Huang sighed slightly and looked at Mrs. Han who was sitting at the bottom with some pity. He had worked with her for a while and knew that she was the most stubborn. Now she can bow her head and ask him for help. After pondering for a while, he spoke, "Alright. Since I've already stepped a foot in it, I might as well send the Buddha to the West!"
Now that he knew Yue Chang Shou aimed for money, everything was easy to handle.
While Yue Chang Shou was still dreaming of being able to become Third Master Huang's confidant in a few days and basked in lavish lifestyle in the future, Third Master Huang had already discussed with Mrs. Han about Yue Chang Shou's whereabout's arrangement.
"My side is easy to arrange, but Mrs. Han, are you sure you don't want to tell your children about it? After all, Yue Chang Shou was also their father." Third Master Huang didn't have much contact with Yue Chang Shou, he just felt that If he was Yue Wen Sheng, he also wanted to know these things?
Mrs. Han pursed her lips tightly and shook her head. She didn't sleep well last night and dark circles appeared under her eyes: "Wen Sheng is going to take the Tongsheng Examination in less than a month. I can't trouble him at this time ."
No matter how big of a matter, it can't delay Wen Sheng's future.
Only then did Third Master Huang remember that there was such matter. Sighing, he said: "Yes, the child's future is top priority now. Since you have made up your mind, I will make arrangements for Yue Chang Shou's side and will get him to sign the separation paper before he leaves."
Since Yue Chang Shou was targeting money, he didn't have to be in Luohe Prefecture as long as he could make money, right? Since it is unknown when this ticking time bomb is going to explode, best to send it far away and it won't be able to blow it up on themselves when it's time.
***
Following Third Master Huang's instruction, Mrs. Han went to find Yue Chang Shou. She uttered all the words that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind beforehand before quietly looking at Yue Chang Shou.
"You want me to leave Luohe Prefecture?" Yue Chang Shou suspiciously eyed Mrs. Han and responded, "Why should I believe your words? If I sign the separation paper and end up earning nothing? Won't I be in a lose-lose situation."
Yue Chang Shou wasn't stupid. He can only rely on the relationship between the two as husband and wife to latch onto Mrs. Han. What if Third Master Huang turns around and kicks him away once he signs the separation paper?
His reaction was as she expected. Mrs. Han secretly hated him for being so shameless. She took off a pair of gold-plated bracelets on her wrists and a pair of small red gold earrings on her ears and put them in front of Yue Chang Shou. She stated: "I only have such a few valuable things on me. If you sign the separation paper, I will give it to you. If you don't sign it, I will go to the yamen and sue you for doting your concubine and killing your wife. You must know that I am your legitimate wife that you married through official process. That Jiao Niang is just a toy you redeemed from the brothel."
Looking at Yue Chang Shou with a little pride in his eyes, Mrs. Han sneered a few times before saying: "If we go to the Yamen like this, there will be no suspense about who will win?"
Gently caressing the silver hairpin, she continued: "I am now Su Family's Madam's limelight person. Who do you think is more capable, rich and Su Family with numerous people or you, Yue Chang Shou?"
Mrs. Han couldn't help snickering in her heart. This trick really worked.
Yue Chang Shou didn't expect that after more than a year of separation, the originally terrible Mrs. Han would become so oppressive. He was angry and anxious, but there wasn't anything he could do about her. After all, she was now a member of Su Family. If she really wanted to sort him out, wasn't it as easy as crushing an ant? Internally spitting, this b*tch was really lucky. Initially, as someone who should have died in Dingyuan didn't die, she also arrived in Luohe Prefecture and latched on the big tree, Su Family!
In fact, when Yue Chang Shou first approached Mrs. Han, Yue Chang Shou wanted to reunite with her. After all, working in Su Family as a supervisor must earn a lot of money every month. But Mrs. Han's overt and secret dislike was too obvious. Yue Chang Shou tried a few times but came up empty. Han Wan Qing's temper was still the same as before, smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine. Back in Dingyuan, she liked to preach to him with a straight face. Thinking about the gentle and charming Jiao Niang at home, Yue Chang Shou gave up this inexplicable idea and instead wanted to squeeze some oil from her.
Mrs. Han and Yue Chang Shou were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally Yue Chang Shou surrendered and was willing to give her the separation paper. Still, he opened a lion's mouth: "I can give you the separation paper. Bring one hundred liang silver and I'll give it to you right away."
"One hundred liang! Why don't you go rob, Yue Chang Shou?" Mrs. Han didn't want to make any more concessions. She wanted to keep Yue Chang Shou away from her, but that didn't mean she had no bottom line: "In this case, let's meet at the Yamen!"
Yue Chang Shou didn't expect her to be so decisive and was afraid that she would really make trouble in the yamen. Without a choice, he had to sign the separation prepared by Mrs. Han and said with a sneer, "You also wrote the children goes to you. They might have died long ago! It can't be that you want ghosts to follow you!"
Yue Chang Shou didn't have any doubts, only thought that Mrs. Han was thinking too much and wanted to find the children back.
"Whether my children are alive or not, it has nothing to do with you. Since the separation paper has been signed, we will have nothing to do with you in the future. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you." Because Mrs. Han established a female household in Luohe Prefecture, the separation paper was sent directly to the Yamen of Luohe Prefecture to be stamped with a red seal. This separation paper was officially recognized.
Back to Yue Chang Shou. After he got the gold jewelry from Mrs. Han and exchanged them for cash. Under the arrangement and introduction of Third Master Huang, he joined a caravan that traveled north and south and left Luohe Prefecture with Jiao Niang. Knowing this news, Mrs. Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally it was the day for Yue Wen Sheng to take the exam.
"Son, don't be nervous about the exam. If we don't succeed this time, there will be another time. Remember to eat the dry food that Mother prepared for you." Outside the examination room of Luohe Prefecture, Mrs. Han was carrying the bundle that was filled with dry food, clean clothes, pillows, etc. as she stood next to Yue Wen Sheng with a nervous expression on her face. She reminded him over and over again: "There were also some anti-diarrhea pills and mosquito-repelling spices in this package. Remember to use them."
The Dafeng County Examination held one exam a day and there were five consecutive exams. Every day when the evening drum sounds, the exam ended. Mrs. Han prepared enough items for her son, for fear that shortage will affect the mood of the exam and create trouble.
"Mother, don't worry, Husband had tested Wen Sheng's knowledge the day before yesterday and said passing the county examination won't be a problem." Today was third branch's big day. It went without saying You He had long followed them over. Hearing Mother's instruction, she feared that it would put too much pressure on Younger Brother and said a few words of relief: "Husband had experienced the county examination. Since he said that, it shouldn't be a big problem for Wen Sheng to be selected."
Yue Wen Sheng noticed the line outside the examination room started to move and took the bundle prepared by Mrs. Han. He bowed to Mother and Elder Sister: "Mother, Elder Sister, Wen Sheng is going now."
Mrs. Han and You He supported each other, watching Yue Wen Sheng, who had grown tall and straight as a poplar tree, entered the examination room with firm steps. Both of them felt relieved and emotional. You Jin knew that Mrs. Han must have been in a mess these few days and had asked You Bao to visit the cosmetic shop more often to let Mrs. Han take care of Yue Wen Sheng.
The difficulty of the county test wasn't too high. After the fifth day, Yue Wen Sheng was in good condition. Still, old Teacher Chen felt distressed for his student. After judging the test questions with him on the second day after the test, he let him go take a good rest for two days.
However, Yue Wen Sheng didn't rest well. In order to prepare for the Tongsheng Examination, he studied as soon as he opened his eyes and recited a collection of classics and history when they were closed. Now suddenly relaxing, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Elder Cousin Brother Wen Sheng is so lucky, he doesn't need to study." During the class break, Su Kang lay helplessly on the rosewood tabletop that had been painted with a lot of ink and suddenly lamented. Studying was so tiring!
Han Er Hua and Yue Wen Yu, who were sitting next to Su Kang, also lay down weakly and wailed softly: "I really envy Eldest Brother (Elder Brother Wen Sheng)!"
They really wanted to go out to play instead of going to class!
"Why don't we skip class!" After Su Kang said this, Han and Yue's eyes lit up at first. But when they thought of being tattled by their teacher to Elder Sister You Jin for skipping class last time and having to copy the book until their hand went weak as well as the painful memory of being hit by hand twenty times, the three of them saw inexplicable resistance in each other's eyes: "I'll (you) pretend that you (I) didn't say anything."
Before the thought solidified, they all killed the idea of skipping class. Skipping class was thrilling for a while, while being caught by Elder Sister You Jin (Eldest Sister) was hell!
Today, You Jin, who brought people to Houjiawan to check the progress of the spring planting, sneezed out of nowhere. Qiu Fen, who was holding a thin cape, immediately wanted to put on a cape for her: "It's still a bit windy outside, Miss should put on the cape!"
You Jin waved her hand to express there was no need. She said with a smile: "It's already April, how can it be so cold? It should be someone talking about me!"
An unintentional joke actually hit the truth.
Seeing Miss like this, Qiu Fen didn't force her anymore. She closely followed Miss. As long as Miss sneezed again, she would put the cape on Miss no matter what.
