Chapter 577: Chapter 578: Letter of Resignation
While the Li Family was busy dealing with various issues, a not so minor incident happened at Wangquan Academy.
No one would have expected that the dean, who was usually dignified and serious, actually had a mistress. To add fuel to the fire, he had an eight-year-old son with her.
My goodness, this tragedy didn’t end there. The dean’s wife found out about it all.
Since then, chaos broke loose in the academy.
The dean’s wife was weeping every day. The dean, seeing the truth couldn’t be hidden any longer, decided to bring his mistress home. Since the mistress had a son, it wasn’t suitable to treat her as a concubine anymore. As a result, he promoted her to Madam Ping.
Isn’t this outrageous? When Yang Aoshuang, the new bride to the Li Family, heard this, she was furious and decided to do justice for her mother.
One day after breakfast, she went to the academy in anger, leading her group of young servants and maids.
As soon as she arrived, without saying a word, she ordered her servants to seize the newly appointed Madam Ping, beat her hard, so hard that it wouldn’t matter if she ended up dead.
We can’t deny that Yang Aoshuang is ruthless. It would have been bad enough if she only beat Madam Ping, but she didn’t spare her young brother either. The poor eight-year-old child was subjected to a harsh slapping by the maids at her instruction.
The dean was so angered that he fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he found that Madam Ping and his son had been beaten to a pulp, and he cursed Yang Aoshuang bitterly.
As for Yang Aoshuang, she felt satisfied. After beating people up, she cheerfully enjoyed a lavish meal at a restaurant before heading back to the Li Residence with her servants and maids.
But then, trouble arose!
As soon as she returned to the Li Residence and hadn’t even had a moment’s rest, Old Madam Li came along with her maids.
"Mother, you’re here!" Yang Aoshuang was a bit fearful of Old Madam Li; she was a stern old lady.
Old Madam Li, looking at the extravagantly dressed Yang Aoshuang, seemed like she might just explode from anger at any moment, "Don’t call me mother! I don’t recognise a flirtatious, cruel and cold-blooded daughter-in-law like you!"
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Ever since that incident, Yang Aoshuang couldn’t tolerate people calling her flirtatious. She didn’t even know how that misfortune had fallen upon her.
"I said, get out of the Li family!" After saying this, Old Madam Li threw a letter of divorce at Yang Aoshuang, "Take this divorce letter and leave! You, Yang Aoshuang, have no relations with the Li family anymore."
"Mother, why! Why do you want to divorce me? No, I want to see my husband, you can’t have the final say on this." For a woman to be divorced in those times was an extremely serious matter, enough to frighten even Yang Aoshuang.
"I have the final say!" Thinking about the letter she had previously received, Old Madam Li was filled with hatred for Yang Aoshuang, "For decades, our Li family has been one of the major households in Wangquan. But now, in just a short amount of time, we’ve fallen into complete ruin, our businesses and lands have all changed hands, even this mansion won’t be kept for long. All of this is because of you, you wicked woman."
Upon hearing Old Madam Li’s words, Yang Aoshuang knew something was off.
"Mother, I know the Li family has recently encountered some trouble, but what does that have to do with me? Recently, haven’t I been busy finding people to research the drunken crab dish, all for the sake of the Li family?"
"You dare to mention that?" Old Madam Li pointed at her angrily, "It was all because you encouraged my son to start that drunken crab venture. Are you aware that due to this, many secrets of the Li family got leaked out, leading to the disintegration of the Li family?"
