My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage -
Chapter 487: Empty the Prime Minister Residence
Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Empty the Prime Minister Residence
What she hadn’t expected was that her mother had always been proud of her over these years.
"Mr. Lin, do not bother with these pointless words. All these items were purchased with my dowry, and now that we are divorcing, I presume Mr. Lin would not want to see these unsightly things in the house anymore, right?"
"Or is it that Mr. Lin cannot bear to part with them?"
With Liao Yu’s removal, almost half of the Prime Minister Residence was emptied.
But what embarrassed the Prime Minister even more was certainly being publicly exposed by Liao Yu, revealing that the prosperity of the Prime Minister Residence had always relied on his wife’s dowry.
If this incident were to spread, where would his face be?
"Madam Liao!"
The Prime Minister quickly interrupted Liao Yu’s words, fearing that if she continued, he would lose all his dignity.
In such a situation, the nanny was naturally not qualified to appear before others.
She watched from the courtyard as the accessories of the Prime Minister Residence were moved out one by one.
If this continued, the Prime Minister Residence would be left as an empty shell!
However, she only dared to strike from the shadows; she stood no chance in a direct confrontation with Liao Yu.
"Mr. Lin couldn’t possibly be thinking of demanding these items back, could he?"
Liao Yu, noticing the expression on the Prime Minister’s face, immediately became vigilant.
In fact, even if these things were left in the Prime Minister Residence, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
But Liao Yu simply didn’t want to give the Prime Minister any advantage.
"If you truly want them back, as you said, we have been husband and wife, and as long as you are willing to provide enough silver, I might consider leaving these things."
After all, she had no intention of using the moved items and planned on discarding them somewhere randomly.
Being able to exchange them for some silver would not be too much of a loss.
"That’s not what I meant!"
The Prime Minister genuinely hadn’t expected that his usually docile wife would change so drastically.
"Madam Liao, do you not think that acting this way truly disgraces the Liao Family? How could there be a woman as petty as you?"
"Our Liao Family doesn’t feel disgraced by my sister’s actions in the slightest,"
Before Liao Yu could speak, Liao Yuanwen, who was beside her, couldn’t hold back any longer and retorted with a smile on his face.
Although his official rank was not as high as the Prime Minister’s, his ability to speak sarcastically was certainly no less.
"When you sought to marry my sister, you never mentioned wanting to elevate a woman with no family background to be your principal wife. Aren’t you afraid of losing the Lin Family’s face by doing so?"
The Prime Minister was so angered that he almost lost his composure, "No matter how bad she is, she has given birth to my only son. My actions are merely for the continuation of the Lin Family."
"Whether it’s really for continuation or because lust has clouded your judgment, you know it yourself!"
The Liao Family and the Prime Minister, although they were already completely at odds, would not publicize the Prime Minister’s misdeeds for the sake of appearances.
After all, Lin Xuanxuan was still the Prime Minister’s daughter.
But that didn’t stop the Liao Family from targeting him behind the scenes.
Even with Liao Yuanwen speaking like this, the Prime Minister could only be infuriated, unable to refute.
"Alright, Yuanwen, we have moved almost everything. Let’s head back."
Liao Yu had already handed over the divorce papers to the Prime Minister. Her visit today was merely to make a clean break.
Having taken the initiative to give up on the Prime Minister, she would not look back regardless of what happened in the future.
It has to be said, Lin Xuanxuan’s daring to love and hate personality was entirely inspired by her mother’s teachings and example.
However, in the first half of her life, she was trapped in the shell of the Prime Minister’s wife, daring not to step out of line, always mindful of her own words and actions.
Only now could she be said to be her truest self.
Seeing her own mother preparing to leave, Lin Xuanxuan hurriedly pulled Chu Nanli and hid behind the window.
Chu Nanli, seeing her guilty look, couldn’t help but laugh, "So you came here today without even telling your mother and uncle?"
"They didn’t want me to get involved, huh," Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help sticking out her tongue, "I told them I was coming out to find you, that’s why they let me leave."
"We’ll go down after my mom and the others have gone some distance away."
After moving into the Liao Family, Lin Xuanxuan’s spirit and energy were noticeably better than before.
She spoke of fearing her mother and uncle’s punishment, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of fear in her eyes.
It was obvious that she got along very well with the members of the Liao Family.
They waited until the crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the Prime Minister Residence to watch the commotion had dispersed before going downstairs.
But no sooner had they stepped out of the teahouse than they ran right into Lin Fuying, who had hurried back.
The moment Lin Fuying’s gaze fell on them, her face instantly changed color.
She had just received a message from Auntie Li, asking for help, which was why she had rushed back from the War King Residence.
Now, seeing Lin Xuanxuan, the venom in Lin Fuying’s eyes was almost spilling out.
"Sister, did you come back to see our father? Why aren’t you going in?"
"Could it be that you also know that what you’ve done has wronged our father, so you don’t dare to enter?"
Lin Fuying had thought that the Prime Minister’s wife, no matter what, would not resort to divorce.
But she actually dared to do it!
Now, here they both were, brazenly appearing right here, surely to enjoy the spectacle!
Lin Xuanxuan held onto Chu Nanli’s hand, with no intention of letting her get involved.
She looked indifferently at Lin Fuying, "I’ve told you before, my mother only gave birth to me and never brought any low-class sisters into this world. Couldn’t it be that, after a few years of living as a young lady, you’ve forgotten your own status?"
"Your birth mother now is but a concubine in the Prime Minister Residence, don’t try to relate yourself to me!"
Now, she did not need Chu Nanli’s help to make sure Lin Fuying got no advantage!
Moreover, she and her mother had already left the Prime Minister Residence.
In the past, if she showed any disrespect towards Lin Fuying, the Prime Minister would definitely scold her.
But now, she no longer had to care about the Prime Minister, so why would she care about Lin Fuying’s feelings?
"Sister, you know full well that’s not what I mean. Why do you persist in misunderstanding me?"
Lin Fuying was well aware that she could only show weakness before Lin Xuanxuan.
If she opposed Lin Xuanxuan, she would definitely gain no advantage.
"Although we’re not born of the same mother, since childhood I’ve treated you as my own sister. It’s one thing for you to misunderstand me, but why would you provoke our father to divorce our mother?"
"Father is grieving right now. Won’t you even go to see him?"
Lin Fuying believed that her words placed her on the moral high ground, and Lin Xuanxuan would have no way to respond.
But Lin Xuanxuan had long since changed.
These days, she often ran off to the capital suburbs, and had witnessed countless quarrels amongst the village women.
Dealing with Lin Fuying was nothing to her.
She quite gracelessly curled her lip, "You can’t still believe that I’m unaware of what your mother did back then, do you?"
