Chapter 309 Seeing Red
Chen Yuanli raised his head and looked at her steadily, with a rare persistence in his eyes.

"Jiaojiao, I will keep my promise to you."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Then, she reached out to Keying who was standing outside the door and said, "Give me the divorce letter."

"Yes." Ke Ying walked into the hall and handed over a newly written divorce letter with both hands, "Miss, please take a look."

She raised her chin towards Chen Yuanli and said, "Just show it to your uncle."

Ke Ying responded by walking to Chen Yuanli, kneeling on her knees, and respectfully holding the divorce letter in front of him.

"Please have a look, sir."

"Okay." Chen Yuanli took the divorce letter.

Looking down at the thin paper, there was only one line of beautiful small seal characters on it - 'Meng Wan, the concubine of Chen Yuanli, has violated the seven grounds of divorce, 'jealousy', which is a disaster that has ruined the family. I hereby issue this divorce letter and expel her from the Chen family. I will allow her to remarry and there will be no more disputes. I will keep this for your reference.'

Chen Yuanli's face twitched, and he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at his wife, and asked in a low voice: "I don't need a divorce letter, right?"

When the two of them were arguing before, Shen Jiaojiao took out a divorce letter without saying a word.

She was determined to make him choose between the two!
Chen Yuanli clenched his teeth, not knowing whether he was angry at Shen Jiaojiao for being heartless and ungrateful, or at Meng Wan for being cruel and ruthless.

"Of course, an ordinary concubine wouldn't need one, but...your Wan'er is not ordinary."

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at him with a smile.

"Chen Yuanli, if you don't want to sign, I won't force you."

Hearing this, Chen Yuanli came back to his senses, tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart, and said with a straight face: "I will sign."

This is what I've been waiting for!
The smile on her face deepened, and she turned to the door and called out, "Ke Xin, please prepare your writing."

Ke Xin responded and walked in carrying a wooden tray with already ground ink and brushes on it. It was obvious that she was well prepared.

Chen Yuanli was stunned. He didn't expect she could do this.

Now we are in a difficult situation and have no choice but to sign.

When Mr. Meng saw that Chen Yuanli hesitated, he was afraid that his adopted daughter would push him too far, so he stepped forward to stop her.

"Alright, alright, Jiaojiao, stop talking." Then he helped Chen Yuanli up. "Yuanli, get up first. Why are you kneeling all the time?"

Chen Yuanli stood up, hoping that his father-in-law would speak for him.

Even if the time of divorcing the concubine is postponed until Meng Wan gives birth to the child...

"Jiaojiao, don't be so willful. If Yuanli doesn't want to divorce me, what are you going to force him to do? If he keeps a mistress, it will be shameful for you." Master Meng said.

"If he wants to keep a concubine, then he can keep one." Shen Jiaojiao said with a fake smile: "If he can keep a concubine, I can also keep a male concubine."

When the word "male favorite" came out, Master Meng was so shocked that he stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

Is this still his gentle adopted daughter?

"Shen Jiaojiao!" Chen Yuanli shouted angrily, with a flash of anger in his eyes, obviously thinking of someone, "Don't think that this is the Meng Mansion and you can do whatever you want!"

When others heard this, they would obviously misunderstand the "you" in "you guys", referring to Shen Jiaojiao and Master Meng who relied on their money and power to bully others too much.

Only Shen Jiaojiao heard the hidden meaning.

The "they" Chen Yuanli mentioned refers to Meng Hun.

"Do whatever you want?" She raised her eyebrows at the man and asked disdainfully, "Weren't you the one who agreed to divorce Meng Wan?"

Although her expression was arrogant, her heart was in her throat at this moment.

She was just bluffing, betting that Chen Yuanli was not sure about the affair between her and her brother.

Sure enough, seeing that she refused to give in, Chen Yuanli's lost rationality instantly returned and he fell into self-doubt.

Could it be... that he had seen it wrong?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanli couldn't help swallowing his saliva and explained with a stiff face: "I was just angry that you said such hurtful words to yourself."

Having an affair with a man other than yourself is just destroying yourself.

Although the Zhou Dynasty was open-minded, women were required to be faithful to one man for life. Unless they divorced and remarried, they could only have one husband for the rest of their lives. Those who could seduce anyone were all prostitutes.

When Shen Jiaojiao said this, she was obviously comparing herself to a prostitute, sinking into the dust.

"Oh, the rumors from outsiders are nothing but passing clouds to me." She said with a hint of sarcasm, "I am living a good life in a big house, why should I care about what others think?"

Seeing that she highly praised such lewd things and even took pride in them instead of feeling ashamed of them, Chen Yuanli's suppressed anger burst out again.

He wanted to ask Meng Hun why he went to Mingzhu Courtyard, but he lost his temper when he saw Shen Jiaojiao's clear eyes.

He can't say!

He studied hard for more than ten years just to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, become the top scorer, and use the power of the Meng family to climb up.

It's just a trivial hatred of having his wife taken away, how could he endure it!
"Bring me the pen and ink!" Chen Yuanli's eyes were burning with anger as he stretched out his hand towards Ke Xin.

Ke Xin quietly looked up at her mistress, and after getting her approval, she quickly lifted the wooden pallet over.

Chen Yuanli took a deep breath, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and raised his hand to write.

A shrill scream came from outside the door.

"Chen Yuanli! You are not allowed to sign!!!"

The brush paused, and a blob of ink spread out on the paper.

Meng Wan ran over in a hurry, without even putting on his clothes, only wrapped in a thick outer robe.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her pair of affectionate eyes were wide open at this moment.

That haggard and terrifying appearance was not even as good as Shen Jiaojiao, let alone Ke Xin and Keying.

Chen Yuanli took a step back in shock.

When he saw that the person coming was Meng Wan, a hint of connection flashed quickly in his eyes, and he stepped forward to embrace the person in his arms.

Meng Wan pushed him away, grabbed the divorce letter, and asked sternly, "What is this? Divorce letter?! Chen Yuanli, you want to divorce me?"

"Wan'er, listen to me..."

Chen Yuanli tried to walk up to her and calm her down, but she pushed him away again.

"How long are you going to lie to me? What did you promise me yesterday? You said that I'm the one you love the most and you would definitely protect us.

"Haha, is this how you protect me? Are you playing me for a fool? I must be blind to fall for a bastard like you!"

After yelling at Chen Yuanli, Meng Wan turned and glared at Shen Jiaojiao, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"Shen Jiaojiao! Why don't you die in the hands of Prince Qing? Why don't you just die!!!"

"enough!"

'Snapped'!
Chen Yuanli's shout and the sound of a crisp slap rang out at the same time.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene.

Master Meng withdrew his hand and glared at Meng Wan with disgust, "Wan'er, you disappoint me so much! Look at your ugly face now!"

"I'm ugly?" Meng Wan pointed at herself in disbelief. "I'm your biological daughter, and you say I'm ugly? What about her?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Shen Jiaojiao beside him.

"Jiaojiao has a kind character, a thousand times better than you." said Master Meng.

"She's kind? She's kind, but she still clings to the position of the eldest daughter of the Meng family?" Meng Wan covered her stomach, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, you're so biased, you're really so biased..."

Seeing Meng Wan crying out of breath, Mr. Meng's expression was embarrassed and complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

Even if he knew it was fake, the other party didn't know that. The other party really regarded him as his biological father...

"Blood! There is blood! Under the Second Miss's feet!" A maid suddenly pointed at Meng Wan's feet and screamed in horror.

Everyone looked down and saw blood slowly flowing down.

Chen Yuanli's face changed, "Oh no, there's blood, could Wan'er be having a miscarriage?"
