Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Divorce after marriage
Aunt Hu’s grave was located at the corner of the Qiao family’s ancestral grave. The tombstone had been changed to the grave of a second grade madam. It was time to change the tombstone.
However, after the Emperor’s decree, the Ministry of Rites still had to follow the rules and change the tombstone for the second grade madam. They also had to give her a set of objects to be buried with.
Today was the day Aunt Hu opened the tomb and put objects that matched her rank into the tomb.
Qiao Ruoyi didn’t tell anyone else about this. Aunt Hu was a servant after all. She knew that if she told them, her parents, brother, and sister-in-law would definitely come. However, it was enough for them to order for Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu was the most fastidious about rules when she was alive. She definitely wouldn’t let them come.
As for not telling Xie Yun about it, it was also because today was a good day for Xie Yun to be promoted. After all, it was a funeral. Also, Xie Yun probably looked down on aunt Hu from the bottom of her heart.
When Qiao Ruoyi saw the tomb open, tears rolled down her face. “Aunt, from now on, you will be a second-grade Gao Ming’s wife. You will never be bullied by the Qian family again.”
Yan Yu helped Qiao ruoyi up and said, “Madam, don’t be so sad. If aunt were in heaven, she would be very happy to know that her daughter is so promising. You are still pregnant. It is not appropriate for you to be so sad.”
Qiao ruoyi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and went back to the Xie family.
Once she returned to the house, she lit the brazier and took off her coat.
As soon as she took off her cloak, Xie Yun held one of her wrists tightly, “Qiao ruoyi, you’re really capable. Today, when your husband was promoted, you were still thinking about your ex-husband. Go to his grave. What do you think I am?”
Qiao ruoyi frowned and pushed Xie Yun. “Let go.”
Xie Yun did not let go. Instead, he carried Qiao ruoyi horizontally and placed her on the bed, “Today, I will let you know who is your husband. You have humiliated me time and time again. You are not willing to return to Lin ‘an with me. Are you thinking of spending the new year with Luo Wei in Chang ‘an?”
Qiao ruoyi saw that Xie Yun was so angry. She covered her lower abdomen and said, “It hurts.”
Xie Yun’s eyes were actually filled with anger. He held Qiao Ruoyi’s chin with one hand and said, “Do you still have children in your eyes? You carry children and go to the cemetery time and time again. Have you ever thought about children?”
Qiao ruoyi frowned and said, “The Qiao family’s ancestral graves are all buried by my ancestors. They will naturally protect the Qiao family’s descendants. How could they harm the child in my belly?”
Xie Yun said, “You do have an excuse. I won’t allow you to go to Luo Wei’s grave in the future.”
“On what basis?”Qiao ruoyi frowned and said.
“On the basis that I am your husband now. If I have an ex-wife, I will never forget her every day. Would you accept it?”
Qiao ruoyi said, “Why wouldn’t I accept it? Before the wedding, when you promised to get a tattoo on your side, you should know that I only have Luo Wei in my heart. Marrying You is your scheme against me. If you can’t stand it, you can divorce me!”
Xie Yun suppressed his anger and fiercely bit Qiao Ruoyi’s lips. Qiao ruoyi pushed Xie Yun and said, “Let go of me, Yan Yu, Yan Yu!”
Yan Yu rushed in and saw Xie Yun kneeling on the ground and said, “Son-in-law, the young lady still has your flesh and blood in her arms. Moreover, she will enter the palace for New Year’s Eve in a few days. If the Empress Knows…”
“Don’t use the empress to pressure me!”Xie Yun said, “Get out.”
Yan Yu didn’t go out, but bravely said, “Son-in-law, the young lady set up a new tombstone for Aunt Hu today. She is already sad and has been suffering on the road just now. If you treat her like this, I’m afraid that the child in her belly…”
Xie Yun calmed down and asked Qiao ruoyi, whose eyes were filled with tears, “Today, you’re not going to see Luo Wei, but to re-erect the tombstone for your aunt?”
Qiao ruoyi ignored Xie Yun and said to Yan Yu, “Pack your things and go back to the Qiao Family!”
Xie Yun held Qiao Ruoyi’s hand and said, “I was wrong. I thought you were going to see Luo Wei…”
“I’m sorry, Ruoyi. I heard that old Madam Qiao’s health isn’t very good. If you go back to the Qiao family now, it would be a waste for old madam Qiao to worry about you. What do you want me to do? Just say it.”
Qiao ruoyi’s eyes were blurry as she looked at Xie Yun and said, “I just want you to understand that you forced me to marry you. You only called you father because of Nichang. Whether I have Luo Wei in my heart or not, whether I see or not in the future has nothing to do with you. If you can’t stand it, you can divorce me now.”
Xie Yun said, “Forget it. This time, I was wrong. You built a monument for your aunt, why didn’t you tell me?”
Qiao ruoyi said, “Today, your decree for promotion came down. If I tell you, will you go?”
Qiao Ruoyi did not say that Xie Yun looked down on Aunt Hu, so that he would not belittle aunt Hu. She thought that aunt Hu probably did not want to see Xie Yun.
For a man like Xie Yun to meet him, it really made her have eight lifetimes of bad luck.
When Xie Yun heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. She remembered herself in her heart, and even prevented him from going to her aunt’s grave to avoid a collision for the good news of his promotion.
As for Luo Wei, he was just a dead man. Time would wash away everything. He and Qiao Ruoyi still had a long life. When they grew old together, how would she remember who Luo Wei was?
When Xie Yun realized that he had his own thoughts, he looked at Qiao ruoyi again. He had to admit that he cared more and more about Qiao ruoyi.
Knowing that she had gone to the Qiao family’s ancestral grave, he could not suppress his violent emotions no matter what.
Xie Yun could no longer lie to himself. He did not know when Qiao Ruoyi had appeared in his heart.
Otherwise, if it was for Nichang, he could have found another way to make Nichang call him father. He did not need to marry her.
..
After the New Year, a group of guests came to the Xie family residence.
Qiao Ruoyi was basking in the sun in the courtyard. When she heard Lan Xin’s report that her uncle was here, she did not react in time. “What uncle?”
Yan Yu carefully observed Qiao Ruoyi’s expression and said, “Madam, it’s those Hu family members.”
Otherwise, if it was for Nichang’s sake, he could have found another way to make Nichang call him daddy instead of taking her as his wife.
