Chapter 258: Turning Against Each Other

"Mm" looking at her, "Do you have something to report"Chunqiao reminded, "The old madam prefers tranquility and stays in the Buddhist hall most days. She dislikes being disturbed by juniors. The first..."Bang!"

In the depths of winter, Meng Dong was consumed by anger and shame. He strode forward a few steps and slapped Sun fiercely across the face. With that resounding slap, the atmosphere instantly descended into silence.

Sun was stunned by the slap. Her ears were ringing and she felt a bit of tinnitus.

Meng Chengxing and Meng Jinyu were also taken aback. They had never seen such a spectacle before.

In their impression, their parents had always been very loving and had never quarreled. It was only in recent months that their father had been spending every day in his mistress's room, but he hadn't quarreled with their mother.

But today they were fighting bitterly, and the father slapped his wife twice.

Meng Dong glanced at the two children. In front of them, he still had to maintain some face, otherwise, what dignity would he have as a father He immediately retorted, his voice deep and heavy: "Poisonous woman, don't talk nonsense! Zhou Shi's dowry was managed by you. When Ayao got married and came to ask for her dowry, I didn't know anything about it. At that time, I protected you, and both Ayu and Chengxing were present."

Sun Shi was both angry and wronged when she heard this. She hadn't yet had any evidence to prove that Meng Dongyuan's mother and son had conspired, but now the situation was so dire that she needed to vent her feelings. After all, she had been brought to such a sorry state because of him; she hated Meng Dongyuan with all her being.

She immediately brought up another matter, hitting Meng Dongyuan's sore spot: "Meng Dongyuan, I regret it, I regret marrying you this useless man. You have ruined my life! It was my foolishness to have let go of the new champion scholar and married you, this embroidered pillow who is good for nothing in either literature or martial arts. If it wasn't for your father being alive to help you get a position, you wouldn't even be able to land a useless idle job!"

As she spoke, tears of regret streamed down her face. If time could turn back, she wouldn't have chosen Meng Dongyuan.

Meng Dong Yuan, hearing this, immediately thought of that man. That man liked Sun Shi, but Sun Shi only had him in her heart and eyes. She said he was much better than that man. Now, for that man, she had belittled him to nothing. He angrily rebuked: "You wretched woman! Married to me, you still think of other men. Today, I will give you your freedom so you can go find him. But before you go, take a good look in the mirror and see what you look like. Even as a concubine, people would despise you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Sun instinctively reached out and touched her face, instantly breaking down into sobs.

Over the past few months, she's aged significantly. She has more wrinkles, her skin is dull and lacking luster, there are dark circles under her eyes, and she's even lost weight. Despite being only slightly over thirty years old, she looks like a woman in her forties.

If her face hadn't aged so rapidly, like it had just a few months ago, even if she remarried to a place where no one knew her, there would still be takers. But now, with this appearance, who would want her

Meng Jin-yu and Meng Cheng-xing, the two siblings, saw their mother crying like that, and they silently glanced at their father. Seeing their father's face ashen, they were terrified and dared not breathe.

When Meng Dong saw Mrs. Sun crying from afar, he also felt distressed. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a pair of children standing aside with fearful faces. Thinking that both children had seen his ugly side, he became furious and shouted, "You two, get back to your own courtyards! From now on, you are not allowed to associate with this poisonous woman!"

Meng Jin Yu and Meng Cheng Xing were so frightened that their faces turned pale, they didn't dare to stay any longer. They quickly replied and left in a hurry.

As soon as they stepped out of the house, they heard a clap of thunder. Looking up, they saw dark clouds gathering overhead, and knew that it was about to rain heavily soon.

The siblings were heartbroken. It was more than just the sky changing above them; it felt like their whole world was crumbling.

Even the sky over the Meng family is about to change.

Their parents had turned against each other, and their mother was abandoned. When the father looked at them, his eyes were terrifying. He ordered them never to see their mother again. Were they being rejected by their father because they were their mother's children

Meng Chengxing was a little dazed: "Second Sister, what should we do"

"What else can I do Listen to father well, and from now on, never see mother again."

Meng Jinyu was filled with panic and helplessness, and a touch of irritability. She couldn't help but blame her mother, thinking that if her mother hadn't been so picky when arranging her marriage, her betrothal would have been settled long ago. Now that she was unmarried, if her father remarried, it would mean her stepmother taking control of her marriage arrangements. Could she possibly choose a good match for her then

Meng Chengxing remained silent, offering no reply.

Meng Jingyu said again, "Let's go. When father comes out and sees that we're still here, he'll be angry again."

Meng Chengxing replied and didn't dare to linger any longer.

Inside the house.

Meng Dongyuan hadn't left yet, watching Mrs. Sun cry silently, he also lost the thought of arguing with her. He took a step and was about to go out to order someone to come over and send Mrs. Sun out of the Meng family.

Sun saw he was about to leave, and suddenly called out to him, “Wait!”

Meng Dongyuan's face was stern, and his tone impatient. "I have already given you the letter, what else do you have to say"

Mrs. Sun wiped her tears and pleaded, “I concealed Zhou’s death for you and removed all traces of it. I hope that in light of this matter, you will treat Ah Yu and Cheng Xing kindly.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Dongyuan said angrily, "A-Yu and Chengxing are my children, so I will naturally treat them well. You shouldn't see them again in the future. It's a disgrace and a stain for them to have a mother like you. If you meet again, it will damage their reputation."

Sun refused naturally, but what he said wasn't wrong. He nodded in agreement, but in his heart he thought, "Can't I meet openly Can't I still meet secretly A mother and son are connected by heart, how could they never see each other again"

Meng Dongyuan said coldly, “Let’s leave quickly while it’s still light out.”

He said no more, turned and left without looking back, leaving only a cold silhouette.

Sun watched her former husband's back and couldn't help but cry out. She regretted a thousand things, ten thousand things in this life, she shouldn't have married Meng Dongyuan. It's a pity that she realized it too late, her life had already been ruined.

In the depths of winter, Meng Dong ventured outside his residence and instructed several maidservants to escort Madam Sun out of the Meng household. He strictly prohibited her from taking any garments or jewelry belonging to the Meng family.

Several rough maidservants, upon hearing the order, immediately entered the room and dragged Mrs. Sun off her bed. They put coarse cloth clothes on her, dressed her in shoes worn by servants, haphazardly styled her hair into a bun, and fixed it with a half-new, half-old peach wood hairpin used by servants. In truth, besides that letter of divorce, the Sun family took not even a single thing from Mrs. Sun.

Has the Sun family ever been treated this way before

He immediately started yelling, but a woman with a rag stuffed his mouth shut. After being dressed properly, he was escorted towards the front door by two rough women, one on each side.

The Countess, who once held such high status, was now dressed in faded roughspun clothes. Her mouth was gagged, and she walked dejectedly and pitifully between two servants. Those passing by saw her and shook their heads in sympathy.

Mrs. Sun, who had lived for so many years, had never felt so humiliated. Her heart was broken and tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Once she entered the Meng family with great fanfare, now she's disgraced and leaves in poverty with a divorce decree, returning to be a daughter of the Sun family.Gu Jingxi shook her head gently and said, "Before running away from marriage, he seemed to be a man of integrity, keeping himself clean, without even a concubine. I estimate that his body should be fi...
