Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Republic of China Gentlewoman Divorced Wife VS Amorous Actor (Part 22)

She looked at Old Master Yan in such a way that it seemed she could faint at any moment.

However, it turned out that the old man was quite robust. He suddenly calmed down, looked at Gu Shengyin who had not yet left, and said coldly.

"You’ve grown bold and strong now, daring to argue with me. I’ll ask you just one thing, do you still care about your mother?"

Gu Shengyin’s expression turned cold, "Father, what do you mean by this?"

Old Master Yan snorted coldly, "To have raised such a disobedient and unfilial child like you, just for that alone, I could divorce her!"

Gu Shengyin, as if she was seeing Old Master Yan for the first time, said incredulously, "You’re actually using my mother to threaten me?"

Her gaze turned utterly cold, "My mother entered the Yan family at fourteen, married to you for over twenty years, always diligently managing your household. Do you really not care at all about over twenty years of affection?"

Old Master Yan snorted coldly and did not speak.

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Shengyin suddenly softened her tone.

A look of smug satisfaction appeared on Old Master Yan’s face. This eldest daughter, no matter how stubborn, wasn’t she still obedient under his control?

He raised his hand and stroked his goatee, "In one month, the Li Family will send someone with the betrothal gifts to take you as a bride."

"What if I don’t want to marry?"

Old Master Yan’s voice turned sinister, "Then you can wait for your mother to be kicked out of the house with a divorce letter!"

Gu Shengyin did not respond, but Madam Yan’s voice came in, "So it turns out that all these years I have been so carefully serving the old master, only to earn my only daughter being forced to marry into that hellish place, while I could be dismissed at a whim?"

Madam Yan slowly walked in from outside the door. She had heard that her daughter had been called in by Old Master Yan and, worried, she had quickly tidied up and changed her clothes to come over.

She had just overheard the father-daughter conversation.

Gu Shengyin saw that her face was full of tears.

Perhaps she was crying for herself, or perhaps for her daughter.

Old Master Yan, being questioned in such a manner, lost some face and angrily scolded, "What does a woman of the household know? Get back down there now!"

The usually obedient Madam Yan, however, did not heed him this time but said somberly, "I only have Ruohua as a child; she is my life. All these years, I dared not overstep in any way, exhausting my wits for the sake of the Yan family, just so my Ruohua could marry well and have some support from her parental home."

She looked at Old Master Yan, her gaze making him somewhat unable to meet her eyes, "But now, you want my Ruohua to marry into that kind of family; you are pushing her toward death!"

Seeing her mother become somewhat emotional, Gu Shengyin quickly tried to soothe her, "Mother, don’t be upset, rest assured, I won’t marry. Ruohua will be fine, always staying with mother."

Madam Yan looked at her daughter, who was anxiously comforting her, and then at Old Master Yan, who was coldly watching them, feeling something in her heart ready to burst forth.

"I would rather die than let my Ruohua marry into the Li family. Old Master, you want to divorce your wife? Then go ahead!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Both of you mother and daughter, trying to overturn heaven, eh! You want me to divorce my wife, I’ll grant your wish!" Old Master Yan, his pride wounded by his wife, felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"Fetch me paper and brush!"
