Chapter 114 - Divorce
Ni Shi is coming with her maid and her dear friend. Apparently, she knows well Xiao Nie position as Ni Qing's maid. They were on the way to the market to shop and to spend money when they encounter her. they are surprised to find out about her alone when she told her maid to push her into Ni Shi's friend body.
Xiao Nie is kneeling and apologizing after hearing about the expensive silk. She cannot afford to pay the price when it comes to her salary. She is working with Ni Qing to pay off her family debt and their daily necessity. This time, her time is finished for good to offend such important people.
"Pay the money, or we are putting you inside the jail!" Ni Shi's maid is telling her viciously. She is forgetting about the passer-by and tries to do injustice for Xiao Nie. Everyone in the surrounding whispers when they can see the two Noble ladies trying to press the commoner.
"I do not have the money. I am sorry, I was in a hurry to run an errand when I do not see your master," Xiao Nie is answering while putting her face on the floor.
A loud, crisp sound comes out from Xiao Nie check who got slap really hard until the blood comes out from her mouth. Her tiny, frail body fell to the side when the hard slap landed on her face.
Apparently, no one dares to come forward and help her. they are only ordinary people and do not dare to offend the noble people. They can only sympathize with Xiao Nie pain and pray for the best for her well-being.
The emperor entourage is coming to the market side with his full eagle troop. This time, they are going out with the full entourage. However, the soldier in the front reports their way has been stopping due to the commotion.
"Find out the things and tell them to move over," Jin Yu is closing his eyes and resting inside his carriage. Ni Qing has been busy seeing the outside view from the carriage window. The cold air breeze to her face. The air from outside the palace seems nicer than the smell from inside the palace.
However, she can hear the loud commotion, and she feels the voice seems familiar. She can see her maid silhouette body on the ground when the carriage manages to pass through with the scum face of Ni Shi.
"Stop…" Ni Qing stops the carriages and already wants to get out of the carriage before Jin Yu holds her hand to stop her.
"Where are you going?" Jin Yu is asking her with his hoarse voice and hold her hand tightly.
"My dear cousin is venting her anger to my personal maid. Do you think I can allow something like that to happen?" Ni Qing is trying to release herself from his grip.
"You stay in here. Zhang, you go and sort out this problem and bring Xiao Nie to the Ni mansion…." Jin Yu instructs his personal guard to sort out the problem on behalf of the emperor.
"Yes, your highness," Zhang is jumping out from the carriages after the order when the emperor's entourage walks through toward the Ni Mansion.
Zhang is going closer to the incident area when the maid is kicking already curled up Xiao Nie. Ni Shi friend's want to throw her with the nearby clay jar when Zhang intercepts it. He got hurt to see the apple of his eyes lay on the ground, not able to fight back.
Zhang is subduing the maid to not able to attack Xiao Nie again. She is already on her last strength when Zhang hold her into his embrace. The police come and seize the maid with Ni Shi, as reported by the passer-by. They all get detained in the police station. Ni Shi and her friend, He Lin Na, got cold sweat inside the police station waits for their family to pick them up. Lin Yue is walking inside the police station with his cold anger expression. He still has the hangover from the drink last night when one of the police officers comes to the Lin Mansion. The butler in Lin Mansion comes to the Ni Mansion to inform about the arrest.
"General Lin, we have your wife detain because of her act to hurt Mr Zhang's fiancée on the side road. We are going to release her, and Mr Zhang agrees to close the case if she agrees to apologize and pay for the fine. We are not going to bring this to court and close the case because of your title. Please discipline her at home," The police captain is giving a lecture to Lin Yue, who is getting darker by the minute when he hears about his wife misconduct.
"I am sorry for my wife mistake, and I will make sure to discipline her at home," Lin Yue is answering him with his cold voice. He cannot find Zhang and Xiao Nie in the police station. It means they are already in the Ni mansion as they speak. He is well aware of her hatred toward Ni Qing, but he never ever thinks about her behaviour to hurt another human being when he is defending the country.
"If you are aware of her mistake. Please sign the paperwork and pay the fine. I will make sure about the apology from her toward the victim family," The police captain is checking on him while his subordinate is releasing all of them from the jail.
"May I know about the location? I mean the victim?" Lin Yue is asking the police officer.
"They are going to the doctor before back to the Ni mansion. However, I thought your wife is coming from Lord Ni also… I am not going to dip my nose into your internal grudge as long as it is not going outside the mansion wall and not against the law. You are more understanding than me," The police officer is telling him, who is bowing and bidding him goodbye.
He is going into his carriage and gives her the cold shoulder. She is following him inside the carriage with her head down. As soon as she is entering the carriage with him, the carriage is going back to the Ni mansion.
"I will give you the divorce letter when Ni Sheng marriage is over. Your behaviour today is unacceptable as the wife of the general and the madame of the Lin family. You are actually hurting someone," Lin Yue is telling her with his cold domineering voice as if he is giving a command to his soldier.
"I thought you are already divorcing me…. I live as a widow already with your letter or without it. what is the difference now?" Ni Shi is laughing and showing no remorse on her face.
"I will not argue with you and still keep your dignity with the family. I will not take you back to the Lin Family when the wedding over. I cannot tolerate your behaviour this time. I will explain to your parent," Lin Yue is adamant about changing his decision. This is the bottom level of his tolerance when she is actually hurting someone in the public space.
"Do whatever you said as if it will be easy to remove me as your wife," Ni Shi laughs her face off. Lin Yue is feeling pity for her. she is going insane as they speak.
They are arriving in the Ni Mansion when the house already changes with the red and all the marriage decoration. They are stopping in the back door to avoid the back luck for the bride of the groom. Lin Yue is entering the house and ignoring his wife. Ni Shi is running to her room to get ready for the wedding before she enters the family room to sit with her family.
Jin Yu and Ni Qing are arriving at the front gate and enter the house as if they are blessing the bride and groom with his emperor robe. He holds her hand and escorts her to the main hall with the others present. Jin Yu is sitting in the head of the room near the table of ancestry. Ni Qing is sitting in her place on the side of Madame Ni.
Ni Shi looks so angry on her face to see Ni Qing is glowing around her appearance. She is wearing the exquisite noble consort robe with all the best accessories on her body. Ni Qing even gives a set of jewellery to her mother and Ni Shi's mother as a gift. Jin Yu is looking emotionless while Ni Qing is glowing with her pregnancy.
Ni Shi anger is brewing inside her body while watching her cousin flaunt her position in front of her. while she is going to be a widow as her own husband is going to divorce her. Ni Shi is thinking about crushing and killing her so Lin Yue can not return to Ni Qing grasp. Ni Qing must tell her husband to divorce her.
