Chapter 120 This mansion cannot afford any more deaths.
Realizing the seriousness of the charge, Yu Kangnian immediately tugged at his mother, signaling her to keep quiet, and hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong, I'll listen to my elder brother in everything."
Yu Kangping snorted, called a doctor, and had someone take care of Yu Zilie before leaving.
Aunt Rong was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
With the old Marquis dead, if she wants to stay in the Marquis's mansion, she'll have to be mindful of Yu Kangping's feelings.
She sighed and went to stay with Yu Zilie.
When the news of Yu Zilie being knocked unconscious reached Zhao Yining's ears, she was extremely worried.
Shen Jinzhu comforted her, "Don't worry, your brother has already called a doctor for him. The doctor said it's all superficial injuries and nothing serious. He'll be fine after some rest."
Hearing this, Zhao Yining breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She thought for a moment and looked at Shen Jinzhu: "Third sister-in-law, I want to see eldest brother. The longer we delay the divorce, the worse it will be. While my injuries haven't fully healed, I can try to gain eldest brother's sympathy."
She doesn't plan to discuss divorce with Yu Kangnian.
Anyway, it's pointless to look for him; Yu Kangnian definitely won't agree.
If he disagrees, his older brother will have to step in.
It’s better to do it in one step.
Fearing she might act impulsively, Shen Jinzhu quickly asked, "If you can successfully get a divorce, what are your plans?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yining replied, "Perhaps I will leave the capital."
Shen Jinzhu: "Back to Lingnan?"
Zhao Yining shook her head: "No."
The customs and traditions of people in Lingnan are not as good as those in the capital.
If she returns to Lingnan, her father will surely be ashamed of her being a divorced woman.
"Then where can you go?" Shen Jinzhu looked at her with some concern.
"The world is vast, there will always be a place for me. Third sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about me." Zhao Yining suddenly realized this and just wanted to get out of this misery as soon as possible.
“Okay. Since Second Sister-in-law has made up her mind, then I will help you.” Shen Jinzhu nodded.
After the two had discussed it, Shen Jinzhu went to find Yu Kangping in person.
Just as Yu Kangping had sent someone to secretly bring Donghe over, he heard a servant announce, "My lord, the Third Madam has arrived."
"This is endless, day after day!" Yu Kangping was furious.
He ordered someone to bring Shen Jinzhu in, suppressing his anger as he asked, "What does Third Sister-in-law want with me?"
"Brother, something terrible has happened! Second sister-in-law has committed suicide!" Shen Jinzhu feigned panic.
Yu Kangping was now the one who was utterly shocked.
No more deaths can be allowed in this mansion.
"Why would you commit suicide? Where is he? Is he still alive?" Yu Kangping asked anxiously.
Shen Jinzhu nodded: "They were discovered in time and are still alive."
Yu Kangping breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Shen Jinzhu added, "My second sister-in-law said she wants to see you. If she can't see you, she will continue to commit suicide."
Yu Kangping ground his back teeth. He wasn't her husband; why was she threatening to kill herself to see him?
But he couldn't ignore this matter.
So he forced out two words through gritted teeth: "Lead the way."
Shen Jinzhu led him to her courtyard.
When Yu Kangping saw Zhao Yining, the ligature marks on her neck were clearly visible, marks left by suicide by hanging.
He gasped, "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing out of the blue?"
"Big brother, I want a divorce." Zhao Yining looked at her with teary eyes.
Yu Kangping was startled again.
He quickly said, "Couples often quarrel in bed but make up before they get out of bed. The second son really did something wrong this time, and I've already disciplined him. There's no need for a divorce, is there?"
"Brother, if you don't let me get a divorce, I'll die at his hands sooner or later." Zhao Yining was desperate.
He pulled up his sleeve, exposing his entire arm.
Yu Kangping instinctively turned his head to the side: "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?!"
"Big brother, look, over the years, he has beaten me countless times. Every time he says he will change, but he never does. Instead, he gets worse and worse, each beating more severe than the last." Zhao Yining spoke words that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time, and she spoke with such sincerity.
She cried uncontrollably.
Yu Kangping slowly turned around and was shocked once again when he saw the scars on her hands.
The injuries on my second sister-in-law's hands are terrifying.
Old scars are hard to remove, while new scars overlap.
Seeing his shock, Zhao Yining continued to sob, "Brother, please save me, give me a way out. Let me divorce Yu Kangnian."
Yu Kangping withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head again: "Second sister-in-law, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Lie'er and Xi'er. Children who have lost their mother are so pitiful."
This statement directly hit Zhao Yining's weak spot.
For so many years, she has always been tolerant and forgiving for the sake of her two children.
She knew very well that it was already incredibly lucky that the Marquis's family allowed her to divorce; she couldn't possibly take her two children with her.
Seeing her hesitate, Yu Kangping breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems like it's just a temporary mental block.
He softened his tone and comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. If my second brother dares to lay a hand on you again, I will definitely punish him according to family rules! I promise I won't let you get hurt again."
Zhao Yining shook her head: "Brother, I still want a divorce. If I die in the Marquis's mansion, Lie'er and Xi'er will still be without a mother. After the divorce, I will still be alive and will still have a chance to see them."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said you would die in the Marquis's mansion!" Yu Kangping immediately flew into a rage.
"Calm down. I'll talk to the second son about the divorce. If he doesn't agree, I won't be the bad guy."
He then turned to look at Shen Jinzhu.
"Third sister-in-law. Keep a close eye on her. If she dies, your life will be yours."
Shen Jinzhu clenched the handkerchief in her palm, said nothing, and simply watched him leave angrily.
"Third sister-in-law, I've dragged you into this." Zhao Yining felt extremely guilty.
"It's nothing, you don't need to take it to heart," Shen Jinzhu quickly comforted her.
"But if your eldest brother doesn't agree to a divorce, I'm sure your second brother won't agree either. What are you going to do?" She couldn't help but worry about Zhao Yining.
Zhao Yining said bitterly, "If that's the case, then I'll just have to let everyone know that Yu Kangnian is a hypocritical beast who beats his wife."
……
After Yu Kangping left, he did not immediately tell Yu Kangnian about it.
After all, Yu Kangnian had just been punished, so we need to temper his temper first. We can talk about this matter again tomorrow when he's calmer.
He returned to the courtyard but did not see the person he wanted to see.
So she turned to her maid and said, "I told you to go and call Donghe here. Where is Donghe? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Madam said Donghe went out to fetch a doctor because she has a terrible stomachache," the maidservant replied obediently.
Yu Kangping frowned. Did he have a stomachache?
Could it be that there's some evil or monster still lurking in her womb that she hasn't gotten rid of?
Thinking of this, Yu Kangping broke out in a cold sweat.
