Prior to Yuezheng Tings accident, the process of arranging her marriage was already facing obstacles, primarily due to her sister’s behavior.
Families who valued propriety and adherence to rules were hesitant to accept a daughter-in-law with such flaws. Only those who prioritized their own material gains were willing to overlook these concerns.
The return of Yuezheng Yan to the family further enraged Ms.Mi Junior, leading her to curse at the Qi Family. She felt that everything was going wrong and blamed the heavens for subjecting her daughters to such hardships.
As First Madame and the Old Master held the authority, Ms.Mi Junior was not allowed to execute her own plans based on personal interests. Therefore, they took charge and addressed the matter.
After years of enduring the situation, Qi Yun’s parents and Qi Yun himself came to the Yuezheng Family to expose Yuezheng Yan’s actions in front of Madame Yuezheng, First Madame, Ms.Mi Junior, and her husband.
Ultimately, they declared that Qi Yun intended to marry his mistress and insisted on bringing the children back home. They also prohibited Yuezheng Yan from interfering in the matter.
If Yuezheng Yan objected to these terms, they were willing to grant a divorce.
The Qi Family would return the dowry and provide an additional 10,000 liang as compensation.
Ms.Mi Junior was pushed to the brink of a mental breakdown by these developments.
Ms. Mi Junior was furious at the audacity of the Qi Family. She believed that the fault lay with her Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law, as they should have exerted pressure on the Qi Family to prevent such behavior.
While acknowledging that the Qi Family did consider this aspect, the primary decision-makers within the family were known for their fairness in handling family matters. Despite the questionable actions of the Qi Family, Yuezheng Yan found herself in an even worse predicament.
Both Madame Yuezheng and the influential members of the family suggested pursuing a divorce. However, both Ms. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Yan vehemently rejected this proposition.
They refused to entertain the idea.
Divorce was out of the question for them!
Their underlying intention was to withhold any benefits from outsiders.
Their determination only served to exacerbate the situation further.
Yuezheng Yan returned to the Qi Family and swore an oath to punish the mistress and her two children.
However, Mrs. Qi had already taken the grandchildren under her care, and Qi Yun personally selected the servants for the mistress. Consequently, Yuezheng Yan’s orders had no effect.
Yuezheng Yan’s maids and aunties were on the verge of physically assaulting the concubine when the concubine’s servants intervened and reported the incident to Qi Yun. In response, Qi Yun issued severe punishments to the maids and aunties who had assisted Yuezheng Yan.
No one dared to defend Yuezheng Yan anymore.
Yuezheng Yan created a scene, behaving erratically. As a result, Qi Yun ordered her to be confined to the yard, prohibiting her from leaving its confines.
Unbeknownst to Yuezheng Yan, once Qi Yun discovered her true nature, he began administering a medicinal soup after their intimate encounters to prevent her from becoming pregnant.
Furthermore, Qi Yun developed strong negative feelings toward Yuezheng Yan and ceased any further physical intimacy with her.
As a result, she remained childless throughout those years.
Qi Yun preferred to have no legitimate children rather than allowing
Yuezheng Yan to bear a child who would carry his bloodline,
News of Yuezheng Yan’s actions spread widely after the commotion at the Qi Family.
Curiously enough, it was the Qi Family themselves who willingly propagated these stories whenever they were asked, demonstrating a surprising openness and lack of concern for their reputation.
The entire town was both shocked and captivated by the scandalous gossip surrounding the Qi Family.
However, due to the tarnished reputation caused by Yuezheng Yan’s actions, the prospects of finding a suitable suitor for Yuezheng Ting became extremely slim.
Nevertheless, Ms.Mi Junior remained resolute and unwavering in her determination. She refused to give up and tirelessly continued her search for a suitable match for Yuezheng Ting.
She faced countless rejections and endured the mockery of people whispering behind her back.
Madame Yuezheng could no longer bear witnessing Ms.Mi Junior’s relentless pursuit. With a heavy heart, she confronted Ms.Mi Junior, “Either, Ms.Mi Junior keeps Yuezheng Ting company back to the hometown so they could arrange a marriage deal. Or she can dispatch one old Auntie who keeps her company back to the hometown to arrange a marriage deal..”
