Xiaoyuan nodded, and then shook her head.
“I slapped him twice and then told him I wanted to get a divorce!” Xiaoyuan said, looking anxiously at Xie Zhinuan. “I’m serious, Master, I… I can’t even stand his touch now, it hurts all over!”
“Is it because the injuries have not yet healed?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“No, the injuries are healed. I’m usually not in pain, but when he is close to me at night, I feel terrible. I can’t get over it, I hate him. During that scuffle, he grabbed me first, and his sister and mother took the chance to kick me hard in the stomach!”
Xiaoyuan said this and cried her heart out.
If it had been at that time, Dong Sheng would have gotten angry on her behalf, would have argued with his sister and his mother for her, would have stood up to protect her, and she might have felt a lot better.
But he didn’t.
He was a dutiful son who never questioned right or wrong.
She felt aggrieved, and he apologized, but what good did an apology do?
It was useless.
These days, he still didn’t understand her pain.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Xie Zhinuan gently wiped Xiaoyuan’s tears. “If you really can’t stay with him, then get a divorce!”
Xiaoyuan looked up at Xie Zhinuan with astonishment.
As if she had received support, she quickly nodded her head.

“But Xiaoyuan, you must remember one thing, Dong Sheng is Dong Sheng, his mother and his sister are only related by blood, but they are not him. I can see that, most of the time, he treats you quite well. Even if you want to get a divorce, you need to think it through. Is the love truly gone? After the divorce, you will certainly be with me, but what about Dong Sheng?”“If you are willing to listen to me, you should separate for now. I’ll send Dong Sheng back. You both live your own lives for the time being, set a time, whether it’s a year or half a year. If by that time you still decide to get a divorce, then you can go ahead with it, is that okay?”
It is better to mediate than to advocate for separation.
The pain in Xiaoyuan’s heart is something outsiders could never feel or understand.
Xie Zhinuan will respect her choice.
But she also hoped Xiaoyuan understood that she had nothing to worry about in the future, but Dong Sheng…
If it wasn’t for Xiaoyuan, she certainly wouldn’t have relied so heavily on Dong Sheng.
“Yeah, I told him to go back. He wants to be a filial son, doesn’t he? Let him go back and take care of his sick father!” Xiaoyuan said with a laugh.
She wanted Dong Sheng to go back and see if his father was really sick or if his mother was just deceiving him.
“Think positively!” Xie Zhinuan patted Xiaoyuan’s shoulder.
“Yeah!”
With her Master’s support, Xiaoyuan’s mood improved.
She began talking to Xie Zhinuan about the business in the store, naturally bringing up the flour incident.
“We can’t continue to work with such a store!”
“You did the right thing. Doing business is all about credibility, and since they brought this upon themselves, let’s find another supplier. In one more year, the wheat grown on my own manor will be milled into flour and that will be enough supply!”
“How many manors have you bought now, Master?”
“Four, and I plan to buy two more, or go find barren hills to cultivate. Anyway, for growing wheat, as long as there is soil, it can be done!”
Xie Zhinuan always had plans.
What she wanted most was to not have to rely on anyone.
Having her own farmland, whether it’s for growing rice or wheat, was great, and she wouldn’t need to ask for help in times of need.
“Master, let me help you manage the manor when the time comes. I don’t want to stay at that noodle shop anymore. Also, take back that house. I don’t want it anymore!” Xiaoyuan said, her voice tinged with dejection.
Years of emotions cannot be severed so easily; she’s just afraid of being reminded and feeling heartbroken.
“We will not take back the house. Since it was given to you, it’s yours. If you don’t want to return there, just leave it empty!”
