Chapter 258: Confident
Regardless of whether it was Ms. Lin or her, they were like toys that Xie Niushan bought. He could pamper and love them, but if they really fell out, he would kill them himself.
Ms. Lu took the brush and wrote her na with her trembling hand. Then, she stamped her fingerprint.
“Our family isn’t wealthy. When you married into the family, you didn’t bring much dowry. Later on, you even spent money to buy a courtyard for Pei. I reckon that your hands are empty. After all, you were once my woman, so I won’t treat you unfairly. I will give you 5,000 taels of silvers. You can sort it out on your own!” Xie Niushan said majestically.
Ms. Lu did not have any strength at all.
Five thousand taels of silvers was not a small sum. A commoner’s family would never be able to spend it all in their lifeti.
She also knew that Xie Niushan’s generosity was already great. Back when she was in the Pei Residence and Lu Residence, she did not have a comfortable life like how she lived in the Xie Residence.
Before Xie Qiao and her daughter ca, she was practically the master of the family.
Xie Pinghuai respected her, he would be over the moon whenever she gave him so silver. Xie Xi was well-behaved and she did not have to worry about her. Even Xie Pinggang who was dissatisfied with her, she pretended not to see it.
How did her life end up like that?!
Ms. Lu also regretted it, but she could not say what she regretted.
After signing the divorce papers, Xie Niushan made a trip to the governnt office.
On the next day, the news of the Xie couple’s divorce was spread throughout the city.
Xie Niushan treated Ms. Lu quite well. Although the divorce was over, she was allowed to take away so of the things that she had bought for the Xie Residence. They even hired a carriage for her. The carriage was filled to the brim with things as it arrived at Pei Wanyue’s small courtyard.
“Mother! Didn’t I tell you to say that you’re pregnant?! How could you be chased out?!” Pei Wanyue asked in disbelief.
Ms. Lu said listlessly, “Just stop it. I haven’t been pregnant for five years. How can I be pregnant now? Delaying it for a few days won’t change anything, ”
She had crossed Xie Niushan’s bottom line.
After all, she had been with him for five to six years. She knew a little about him.
“Then what should we do now? If you’re kicked out, how are we going to live in the future? Are we going to sit around and wait?!” Pei Wanyue panicked.
“Don’t worry. He gave 5,000 taels of silver, and these… are all the things I bought in the past. He also let take them with . If I send them to a pawnshop, I should be able to get 5,000 to 6,000 taels of silver,” Ms. Lu added.
Pei Wanyue looked at her mother in surprise.
She quickly went to look at the things in the carriage.
So of the large items looked ordinary, but inside those boxes, there were indeed so valuable things. Gold, jade, jewelries, high-quality brocades…
Pei Wanyue fell silent for a mont.
With so much silver, she was confident to get married in the future.
“Mother, please co in and rest, ” Pei Wanyue’s tone cald down and quickly helped Ms. Lu into the house.
Ms. Lu was in a bad mood and did not think anything was wrong with her daughter. Even after she grabbed her daughter’s hand, Ms. Lu still felt a little more at ease.
With money and a daughter, she could live her good life too…
All these years, she had learned to manage a store. In the future, she could buy a small shop and hire a reliable manager to manage it.
The Xie family suddenly lacked a madam. The servants and maids were all trembling with fear.
In the past two days, the Xie family had sold so of the servants, and the neighbors could not help but spread the news. There were already so rumors out there.
Everyone said that it was because Ms. Lu, the stepmother, lost the fight with the stepchildren. That was why she was kicked out.
These words should not have reached Xie Qiao’s ears, but Chun Er could not keep it a secret. With that angry look on her face, it was a piece of cake to guess what happened.
