Chapter 657: Only One Death (6)_1
Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, "Divorced again and sent back?"
"Definitely, that businessman must have found out that the elder sister was ennobled with a Third-Rank Decree, and brother-in-law became an official too, even defeating that dog official Huang Youzhong, so he dared not marry her and divorced her again! It’s been less than two months! The dream of glory and wealth, shattered just like that!" Pei Qian said with a smug hum.
"That must be infuriating," Pei Qin said, tugging at the corner of her mouth.
Sun Xiujin was simply furious, she still dreamt of marrying someone without power but at least wealthy, so she could live a life of glory and pampering. That bitch Pei Qin and her pretty-boy husband can go to hell! She withdrew her hand, looking for another opportunity to teach that little slut Pei Qian a lesson!
Little did she expect, the situation took a dramatic turn. Pei Qin was blessed in disguise with a decree, and Mo Heng became an official. While she, having just started to enjoy the wealthy life, was divorced and sent back to her parents’ house.
Miao’s, at home, held her daughter and cried, bitterly swearing, "Mother will surely find you an even better family!"
An even better family? Sun Xiujin could forget about that for the rest of her life. She didn’t have the luck, nor the fate to enjoy it! The eldest daughter-in-law muttered under her breath, while pondering to arrange a marriage for her daughter Tingyu. Now that the younger sister-in-law was divorced again, her daughter’s matrimonial prospects were affected too!
Now that Miao’s had no mind to meddle in her granddaughter’s matrimonial affairs, and Sun Lizheng had no choices left, he lowered the criteria, looking for a match for Sun Tingyu that was decent enough, where she wouldn’t suffer or starve. After marrying into such a family, taking care of her husband and teaching her children was all that would be expected of her.
The matchmaker did find such a family, a Scholar because his mother had died, his father was not in good health, and he had a younger brother who was still young. He had studied for a few years, could read, and wrote well, so he earned a living by copying books for others. However, his family was poor, and at nineteen, had not yet discussed marriage.
Sun Lizheng inquired about his learning and found it very good, even better than Li Baoxiang from before. So, they mentioned the idea of a marriage.
