His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Indeed, Madam Wang was too vicious! She dared to kill left and right --- what else she couldn’t do? Sooner or later, she might have targeted the matriarch.

Madam Wang gaped at Wang Luo Hai. She didn’t think that he would reach the decision to divorce her. In her thoughts, at most, he would probably just banish her to a secluded courtyard but she would still maintain her position as the legal wife --- the worst thing was she would be treated badly. After all, she also knew that Wang Luo Hai wanted to keep his face because the divorce could certainly affect his reputation out there.

It would be too embarrassing for Madam Wang to be divorced for such reasons --- her reputation that she had built so far would be ruined. But... how could he?! How could he choose this kind of decision?! She knew that he didn’t love her, but how could he dare to divorce her?! Why didn’t he remember that she had accompanied him and become his wife for more than a decade?!

The woman was still arrogant even until this moment...

If he really divorced her, how could she look at other people on the face?! It would be humiliating to death and she would become the joke in this city. If she went back to her family, her father would certainly kill her for bringing shame to the whole family and smearing their name!

After all, she was the daughter of an official! His father always loved his face --- even more than his daughters. He was always good to her because Wang Luo Hai was wealthy and quite powerful in his own way. Without Wang Luo Hai’s influence or her position as the legal wife, what would become of her?!

"How could you? I will not agree to the divorce!" Madam Wang stood up and yelled at Wang Luo Hai like a shrew. "I will use my family’s influence to suppress you! Let’s see if you are able to do something to me!" She said in hatred, not bothering to pretend anymore. The woman was poor enough to think that her family was stronger than Wang Luo Hai’s force.

Wang Luo Hai sighed. "You have done a lot of wrong things and yet, it doesn’t seem that you are being repentant. I don’t need to mention how you gave me an infertile drug as the reason, but the fact that you wanted to kill Yao Ying and Yao Ling is a good enough reason to divorce you --- killing my offsprings!" Wang Luo Hai said sternly --- he had passed the stage of anger. He merely looked at Madam Wang in a chilling expression.

"Offsprings? What kind of offsprings? They are just commoners! They aren’t even your own children! Why did you choose a bunch of stupid villagers, huh? Do you really want to lower your standard that much?" Madam Wang yelled loudly while pointing at Yao Ling in disgust.

"Their names have been written inside the genealogy book so they are considered my real legal children. If I bring this matter up to any judges, they will agree with the divorce. After the divorce, I will erase your name and find a suitable legal mother for them --- the one that would love and cherish them just like me! So... do you want a quiet divorce or and ugly one?!" Wang Luo Hai gave her two difficult choices with an indifferent expression. He was feeling tired of her unreasonable behavior!

"And what? Let Jiu Lan occupy my position when she came back?!" Madam Wang asked in between her crazy laughter and cry! Her hope had been erased. This hateful man wouldn’t even care about her if she died in front of him at this moment.

The people who heard her were confused. Why did she keep mentioning Jiu Lan? Did she actually know something about Jiu Lan?! The woman wasn’t even alive anymore!

"Are you crazy? Why are you keep connecting this matter with Jiu Lan?! You reap what you sow! This is the result of your own doing! I already told you over and over again that Jiu Lan always loves Lin Zheng! Why are you always comparing yourself to her and then, becoming jealous out of nowhere?!" Wang Luo Hai really wanted to throttle her!

"Even if she comes back, she won’t be staying here and becoming my wife! I had already explained to you before we got married that no one would be able to shake your position as long as you knew your place! And what did you promise me?!" Wang Luo Hai asked. He knew that someone was using his wife but what hurt him the most was the fact that she never trusted or understood him!

"If I didn’t tell you before our marriage, it was my fault. However, I already gave you an explanation and you already knew what you would have gotten into after the marriage. Why are you still doing this?" Wang Luo Hai continued his rant.

"Tell me! What did you promise me back then?" Wang Luo Hai kept pushing for an answer.

Madam Wang opened and closed her mouth. "I... I..." She stuttered because what Wang Luo Hai had said was actually true! She was the one who stupidly trying to get his heart and fail miserably.

"What did you promise me?" Wang Luo Hai repeated his question again.

"I would always stay by your side forever and support you in everything you do... I wouldn’t try to replace Jiu Lan in your heart..." Madam Wang finally admitted in despair.

"Then... what went wrong?" Wang Luo Hai asked in a low voice sadly. No matter what Madam Wang occupied a small part of his heart, after all, they had become husband and wife for so long. It was impossible not to have any feelings for her --- but still, it wasn’t the feeling of love...

"What went wrong? What went wrong?!" Madam Wang kept chanting to herself. It seemed like she was in shock...

Liu Li hesitantly looked at Yao Ling. She wanted to say something but she didn’t know whether she was allowed to.

"What’s wrong?" Yao Ling asked her with a questioning expression.

"This servant... seems to have a guess about it, but this servant doesn’t really know whether it’s true or not..." Liu Li said.

"About what went wrong?" Yao Ling asked, trying to make sure that they were talking about the same thing.

"Yes..." Liu Li nodded her head.

Madam Wang heard their conversation and glared at Liu Li. "You are merely a servant. What do you know?!"

They didn’t pay any attention to Madam Wang. Liu Li sighed in annoyance at her former master and finally, Yao Ling gave her permission to talk after. "Just say it..."

"I used to be best friend with Madam Wang’s personal maidservant which complained to me whenever Madam Wang’s younger sister came over for a visit..." Liu Li softly said.

"What do you mean?" Wang Luo Hai asked, feeling alarmed. It seemed like things really weren’t that simple! Did this involve Madam Wang’s family as well?!
