Impeachment

"Are you going to write Divorce Deed or not?! Are you going to write it or not?!"

Lin Yunyi, punched Lu Zhengliu.

He was still a boy, still growing, and not nearly as tall and strong as Lu Zhengliu.

Although the punch was delivered with great force, it only made Lu Zhengliu's cheeks turn red.

Lu Zhengliu didn't even rub his face, saying, "I can't write anything."

Seeing that Madam Lin had fainted, he frowned and said, "Take my mother-in-law to see Physician first."

I went over to help the person up.

Lin Yunwan shoved him hard, saying with disgust, "Don't touch my mother!"

Lin Yunyi helped Madam Lin to her feet. Nanny Yan brought over some medicine to wake her up and let Madam Lin smell it.

Madam Lin was half-awake, tears streaming down her face, but she was still not fully conscious.

Lin Yunwan wiped away her tears and said to Lin Yunyi, "Brother, why don't you take Mother home first?"

Given Old Madam Lu's personality, she could easily do something so shameless since she had already said it.

She chuckled softly and said, "The Lu family won't let me go, so don't waste your energy."

He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "They won't make things difficult for me. Let's take Mother home first."

Lin Yunyi couldn't bear to leave Lin Yunwan alone here.

The Lin clan leader advised, "Yi-ge'er, take your mother home first. You mustn't let anything happen to her."

Lin Yunyi said with a pained expression, "Sister, I'll take Mother back first. Wait for me—"

Lin Yunwan smiled and nodded, saying she would wait for him.

But she knew that waiting any longer would be useless.

The Members of the Lin clan helped Madam Lin away. Half-conscious, she was still calling out, "Yun Wan, Yun Wan..."

Lin Yunwan clutched her handkerchief, trying not to cry.

The members of the Lu family felt that Old Madam Lu had gone too far, and they left shaking their heads in dismay.

"The Wuding Marquis Residence is doomed."

"Alas, the Old Marquis passed away too soon, and now the Marquis has suffered a stroke and is no longer of use. The Heir Apparent is no longer able to support the family."

However, there was nothing wrong with what Old Madam Lu did.

"A woman, once married, should naturally dedicate herself to her husband and serve her parents-in-law and elders wholeheartedly. If the Lu family is dissatisfied with their granddaughter-in-law and insists on divorcing her, it is only right and proper."

However, everyone has a heart, and they have seen how hard Lin Yunwan has worked over the years. They just feel that the Lu family is somewhat heartless.

What bothers everyone the most is that Lu Zhengliu suspected of favoring his concubine over his wife, thus violating the rules of propriety.

If we really have to nitpick, this is the only thing that really matters.

Most of the people have left.

Old Madam Lu and Wei Shi also left. Wei Shi didn't actually want to leave, but it was Nanny Yan who reminded her to go, so she left first with her mother-in-law.

Lu Zhengliu to Lin Yunwan's side.

"Yun Wan, I..."

Lin Yunwan slapped him across the face, her eyes red as she looked at Lu Zhengliu and sneered, "I've fought with the Heir Apparent master. Heir Apparent wants to divorce me for this, so be it."

After being slapped by the woman, Lu Zhengliu's face turned extremely ugly.

He said coldly, "You're angry now, so I'll let it slide this time. But in the future..."

I couldn't bear to listen to a single word.

Lin Yunwan and left the hall, returning to the Drooping Silk Hall with her two maids.

She locked herself in her room and refused to be served.

Ping Ye and Tao Ye waited for a long time before daring to go in and serve the tea.

"Madam, are you... feeling better?"

Lin Yunwan had already composed herself and said calmly, "I'm fine. What kind of tea?"

Ping Ye smiled and said, "Pu'er. It's been brewed a few times and it's already excellent."

Lin Yunwan nodded, looked at the teacup, and said, "Give it to me."

I stirred it with the lid of the teacup and took a sip.

Ping Ye sat beside Lin Yunwan, massaging her legs, and asked softly, "Madam, what will you do in the future?"

They didn't hear the entire process of the two families negotiating a divorce, but they did hear the heated parts and saw Madam Lin faint and be taken away.

Lin Yunwan lowered her eyes; the maid couldn't see that her gaze was like a knife.

"Do what needs to be done."

Ping Ye sighed and pouted, "Madam, if I may say something I shouldn't, it seems that ever since you adopted Young Master Chang Gong, your thoughts have become increasingly complex. I have no idea what you're thinking."

Tao Ye also pricked up its ears to listen.

Seeing that Ping Ye hadn't hit the nail on the head, she said, "Madam, you've done so much lately. If it weren't for such a big thing happening today, I wouldn't have been able to piece things together."

"You adopted two young masters, exposed the Cousin Miss identity, made her a lowly concubine, and even brought back Concubine Zhu Qing to help."

"Now, Young Master Qing certainly won't be able to become the legitimate Legitimate Son. Given his birth mother's status and his own character, he's bound to have a bad ending in the future."

She couldn't help but admire you. "The things you do seem to happen naturally, but I feel that every single one of them is something you've carefully considered."

Tao Ye asked with certainty, "Madam, you've done all this for today's divorce, haven't you?"

Ping Ye was stunned.

She looked at Tao Ye, then at Lin Yunwan, and asked naively, "Madam, is what Tao Ye said true?"

Lin Yunwan didn't bother to hide it from the two maids anymore. She put down her teacup, closed her eyes, and said, "It's true."

She said, "I thought this way I could get away unscathed."

He had also planned out an escape route for the innocent Chang Gong.

Tao Ye whispered, "I didn't expect that neither the Heir Apparent nor the Old Madam would let you go." Their determination far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lin Yunwan sighed and rubbed her throbbing temples, "I really have no other choice now."

"Ping Ye, Tao Ye, from now on, I have no choice but to take risks. You two should also think about your own future."

"You two are girls from my Lin Family, I can't bear to see you suffer with me."

Ping Ye immediately said, "Madam, what are you saying! I've been with you in the Lu family since I was a child. Wherever you are, I'll be there!"

Tao Ye smiled and said, "Madam, don't feel like you'll be a burden to us. If we didn't have you, we don't know what the point of living would be."

Ping Ye's nose tingled. "Exactly."

Lin Yunwan smiled and quickly said, "Bring me paper and pen, I want to write a letter to Yun Yi."

The scene was too chaotic today; she didn't have time to tell her brother what to do next.

Since the Lu family is shameless, they must pay the price for their shamelessness.

Ping Ye quickly brought over the brush and ink, afraid of being even a little late.

Lin Yunwan quickly wrote the letter and had it delivered to the Lin Family that very evening.

Lin Yunyi was taking care of his mother when he received a letter from Lin Yunwan. He crumpled the paper and said to Madam Lin, "Mother, my sister has something to tell me. I have to go out to see my uncles."

Madam Lin had recovered, but she looked much older than before. She said weakly, "Go."

Lin Yunyi personally visited the Lin clan members who held official positions and tirelessly petitioned them to report that Lu Zhengliu, Heir of the Marquis of Wuding, was favoring his concubine over his wife.

The following day, more than a dozen memorials impeaching the emperor were submitted simultaneously.

The Grand Secretariat usually doesn't pay much attention to the few memorials it receives; everyone has seen far too many private matters dragged into the courtroom.

But receiving more than a dozen books at once is unusual.

One of the Grand Secretariat officials frowned and said, "This Heir of the Marquis of Wuding has gone too far."
