Master Liu was merely trying to scare her; he hadn't reached the point of divorcing his wife, especially with their son involved.
"This is the first time. If you do this again, I'll directly send someone to kick you out. If you have the guts, go ahead and throw yourself to your death at the Liu family's doorstep. I'll publicize what you've been doing at home and see if people sympathize with you or me." After speaking, Master Liu, without looking at her expression, flicked his sleeves and left. He had other matters to attend to and couldn't waste time on such trivial issues.
"Oh, Sister, are you still lingering here? If I were you, I'd leave gracefully. Hanging around stubbornly like this, with your demeanor, you don't look like a lady of the Liu family at all!" Concubine Bai mocked, looking at her. Originally, Madam Liu should have been her. She couldn't fathom how this woman had seduced her cousin back then, making him determined to marry none other than her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in this predicament.
"I'll linger here, so what? As long as I'm here for one day, you're still a concubine, and your son can only be a secondary son." Jiang Feng was seething with anger internally but outwardly showed no signs of backing down, intending to infuriate this woman to death.
"Is that so? We'll see. One day, I will make cousin send you away." Concubine Bai's smile hid a dagger. Although the Liu family had fallen, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter what, life would be better than for commoners outside. The remaining shops and this mansion were, in her eyes, her son's, and couldn't be given to Liu Wenjie.
"We'll talk when you manage to drive me out. Besides, what's so great about your place? I live in the main courtyard." Jiang Feng snorted coldly, held her head high, and left arrogantly.
Concubine Bai continuously wrung her handkerchief, almost tearing it. Looking at her courtyard, nothing pleased her eye. No matter how good the furnishings were, they ultimately didn't symbolize the mistress of the house.
Jiang Feng returned to her room and, after closing the door, finally dared to reveal her vulnerable side. When would this kind of life end? She asked herself repeatedly in her heart.
Wu Caiwei knew her days were difficult but had no intention of letting her off. To bear a child but not raise them was a disgrace to humanity, and even more so to push their own daughter out without hesitation for a little personal gain. It could be said that the original owner's tragic fate was largely caused by her.
Master Liu looked at the woman who appeared before him, gnashing his teeth in hatred. If not for her, how could he have ended up in such a state?
"Master Liu is very angry? So you're blaming me for all your mistakes. If you hadn't targeted me first, had ill intentions, how could all this have happened? All the mistakes were yours. I'm the one who should be hating, aren't I? After all, you wanted my life." Wu Caiwei looked at him with some speechlessness, truly not understanding the thought process of these people.
"What do you want from me now? You're not here just to say these sarcastic remarks, are you?" Master Liu looked at her mockingly.
"Of course not. Although I'm happy that you've suffered retribution, there's no need for me to flaunt it in front of you. I just want to tell you one thing: Liu Wenjie is not your biological son. His parents are someone else."
"You're trying to sow discord, but you're still not good enough. He looks so much like my wife. How could he not be our child?" Master Liu's first reaction was disbelief, shaking his head as if he'd heard a funny joke.
"So what if he looks like her? I look like her too." Wu Caiwei ignored his attitude and said dismissively.
"You're not going to tell me my son is from the Jiang family, are you? I watched my wife go through ten months of pregnancy. If he's from the Jiang family, then where is our child?" Master Liu, seeing she wasn't joking, appeared somewhat bewildered.
Wu Caiwei pointed to herself.
"Hahaha, you have a great sense of humor. Do you think I would believe you?" Master Liu burst into laughter.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, the wet nurse by her side has been sent away. It's a pity her son is unfilial and lives a difficult life. The midwife at the time also knows about this. If you want to investigate, I'm sure you'll find the truth." Wu Caiwei believed that no man would let such a matter slide, especially since he had little affection for Jiang Feng and Liu Wenjie.
Master Liu watched the woman turn and leave without hesitation. He felt that if she were truly his daughter, it might not be so bad.
Her thoughts were correct. No sooner had she left than Master Liu went to verify. The midwife and the wet nurse could be bribed years ago, and they could be bribed now.
From these two, he learned that Jiang Hanyue was indeed his child, and the Liu Wenjie he had raised for so many years was the child of the second branch of the Jiang family. He had once thought Jiang Feng was pure and kind, but this incident chilled him to the bone, even making him feel a sense of fear when facing her.
He didn't know Jiang Hanyue was his child and could sell her out without hesitation. But Jiang Feng knew. For the promised restaurant, she could push her own daughter away. Would she hesitate to turn on him next if someone offered her some benefits? Sudan Novel Network.
Living under the same roof with such a cruel woman sent shivers down his spine.
Upon returning home, he quickly wrote a letter of divorce and sent it to her courtyard.
Jiang Feng, in her effort to shoulder the responsibility of being Madam Liu, had diligently learned to read after entering the manor. At this moment, she wished she were illiterate and wouldn't have to accept the divorce letter on the table.
In just two short hours, she had no idea why he had changed his mind again.
"Don't blame this, don't blame that. The reason I'm giving you this divorce is because you've muddied our Liu family's bloodline." Master Liu spoke while observing her expression, also fearing that the midwife and wet nurse had lied to him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng understood everything. Her hands began to tremble involuntarily. He had finally discovered it.
The last shred of hope vanished. Master Liu closed his eyes, then opened them. "You may leave. Take Liu Wenjie with you."
"I did all this because I love you and want to stay by your side, hoping to gain your respect." Jiang Feng cried profusely. Knowing that the Master was serious this time, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve. "If you think Wenjie is not of Liu family blood, I'll send him away and bring Hanyue back."
Master Liu shook his head. From the scene today when he saw Jiang Hanyue, it was clear that she already harbored resentment towards them.
"Don't dress up your motives so nobly. In reality, you just wanted to solidify your position and suppress Concubine Bai. This incident has also shown me your cruelty. That was your own biological daughter!"
"What could I do? Could I tell you that was our biological daughter? I didn't want to disappoint you, so I had to sacrifice her." Jiang Feng felt despair.
Master Liu shook his head, summoned the servants, and after the two had packed their belongings, he directly pushed them out.
