The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1145 - 968, The Source of the Chaos in the Family

Chapter 1145: Chapter 968, The Source of the Chaos in the Family

"Yile must have had a reason for wanting a divorce, right?"

At this moment, Han Xinran showed a helpless look on her face: "Before my two younger sisters and I came to Xiliang, my fourth brother-in-law found a way to be sent to a local post as an official."

"Logically, my fourth sister should have gone with him, without bringing that favored concubine. But the fourth brother-in-law seemed unable to part with his concubine and insisted on bringing her along."

"This divorce issue, both my fourth sister and her husband are to blame, but the root of the problem still lies with that favored concubine."

Daohua frowned: "Didn’t Lord Feng and Madam Feng advise Feng Shuo at all?"

Han Xinran, embarrassed, did not speak.

Initially, Yan Yile married into the Feng Family through disgraceful means, and neither Lord Feng nor Madam Feng liked their daughter-in-law.

Daohua’s expression did not look good: "Even if Lord Feng and Madam Feng were dissatisfied with Yile, they shouldn’t have encouraged the concubine’s arrogance. Even if it was for the sake of Feng Shuo’s family harmony, they should have paid more attention to controlling Feng Shuo."

With that said, she snorted coldly.

"They say the Feng Family values rules, but I see that’s all there is to it."

Han Xinran’s expression became even more uncomfortable. Indeed, the fourth sister was at fault, but the Feng Family should not have let the concubine be the first to have a child. Although it was only a daughter, it was a slap in the face to both the fourth sister and the Yan Family.

Daohua: "So it turns out, Feng Shuo is the one to blame for wronging Yile because of the concubine?"

Seeing Daohua’s stern face, Han Xinran felt some tension. After all, they had grown up together. Even though the eldest sister was not close to the fourth sister, she couldn’t help but care when the fourth sister was in trouble.

"Eldest sister, this matter is somewhat complicated."

"The incident started when the favored concubine was diagnosed with pregnancy at the end of last year. She already had a daughter by her side, and getting pregnant again was undoubtedly a huge threat to my fourth sister who had not yet conceived."

At this point, Han Xinran found it hard to continue.

Daohua listened with a frown: "So, Yan Yile attacked that concubine?"

Han Xinran nodded with difficulty: "The concubine miscarried a boy, and once the fourth brother-in-law found out, he flew into a rage and struck my fourth sister, knocking her to the ground."

"To speak of a cursed fate, it truly is a cursed fate. Who would have known that at this time, my fourth sister was also pregnant; she hadn’t realized it herself. Because of her husband’s slap, she miscarried."

Daohua couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

Han Xinran gave a bitter smile: "What a mess this is."

Daohua coldly said: "Men always want to enjoy the blessings of many, but how can wives and concubines live in peace? Especially those who favor the concubine and destroy the wife, every single one of them is the root of family chaos."

Han Xinran sighed: "Isn’t that the truth. After the fourth sister knew she lost the child and didn’t even fully recover, she took her maids and went back to Beijing, directly declaring her intention to divorce her fourth brother-in-law."

Daohua fell silent for a moment: "What is the stance of the Feng Family?"

Han Xinran said cautiously: "Now that our family is prospering, the Feng Family naturally does not want to lose this matrimonial alliance. Both Lord Feng and Madam Feng have personally visited, but my fourth sister seems determined, saying she won’t stay married no matter what."

Daohua then asked: "What about Feng Shuo?"

This time, Han Xinran could not help showing sarcasm: "The Feng Family said he has official duties and can’t leave his post to return to Beijing."

For the sake of a concubine, the legitimate wife suffered a miscarriage from a beating, and just for this, even though the Han Family had relations with the Feng Family, she had no goodwill towards him.

Daohua scoffed: "Does Feng Shuo think that since Yile was at fault first and Lord Feng and Madam Feng have intervened, this matter should be forgiven and forgotten?"

Han Xinran: "The fourth brother-in-law is truly not a good man. Right after the fourth sister miscarried, she returned to Beijing alone, and he didn’t even send anyone after her. No wonder the fourth sister insists on a divorce."

Daohua thought for a moment and then asked, "Do Second Uncle and Second Aunt know about this?"

Han Xinran nodded: "They do, mother notified them by letter immediately, they should have already arrived in Beijing by now."

At this moment, Han Xinran couldn’t help feeling relieved, thankful that she was in Xiliang. If she were in Beijing now, considering Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s temperaments, they might indeed blame the potential divorce of Yan Yile on her.

Even if her father-in-law and mother-in-law were sensible and didn’t blame her, being caught in the middle due to the ties between the Han Family and Feng Family would be very awkward for her.

Daohua was silent for a long while: "Life is something Yile has to live herself, whether to divorce or not is for her to decide."

Considering her husband who had beaten her to the point of miscarriage, she definitely wouldn’t want him anymore, and in her heart, she supported Yan Yile’s divorce.

But in this era, a divorce would involve many complications, and Yan Yile herself had also made significant mistakes.

With some hesitation, Han Xinran although sympathetic towards her fourth sister, did not entirely wish for her to get a divorce.

After all, having a divorced sister-in-law could adversely affect her husband and son’s reputation to some extent.

Yan Yile was a daughter of the Yan Family; her divorce could more or less affect the other daughters of the family, especially since there was still an unwed fifth sister at home.

Yet looking at the eldest sister, she seemed not to care at all.

After her husband finished reading the family letter yesterday, he was also silent, saying nothing. He showed no intention of intervening, adopting a stance that left the matter entirely to the second branch of the family to decide.

Ah...

Han Xinran couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If her fourth sister really divorced Feng Shuo, it would spell the end of marital ties between the Yan Family and Feng Family, but the connection between the Han Family and Feng Family couldn’t be severed.

With this thought, Han Xinran once again found fault with her well-meaning eldest sister.

Daohua noticed Han Xinran’s expression and recalled the relationship between the Han Family and Feng Family, speaking softly, "Eldest sister-in-law, the matter between Yile and Feng Shuo has nothing to do with you. Father, mother, and elder brother are all reasonable people; you don’t have to blame yourself."

Han Xinran immediately showed gratitude: "Thank you, eldest sister. Every time I think about how I brought our three sisters to the Earl Residence for the banquet, I regret it immensely."

"If I hadn’t taken the sisters there, maybe our fourth sister wouldn’t have married Feng Shuo."

Daohua consoled her: "You’re not a deity, how could you have predicted everything? Yile has to take a large part of the responsibility for where she is today."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about other things. Daohua invited Han Xinran to stay for lunch at the residence before she left.

In the evening, when Xiao Yeyang returned from his official duties, Yan Wenxiu also came along with him.

Yan Wenxiu handed over the family letter he received yesterday to Daohua: "Father and mother don’t want to trouble you with these things, so there was nothing for you in this round of family letters. But you should take a look concerning Yile’s situation."

While reading, Daohua commented: "Eldest sister-in-law came today."

Yan Wenxiu wasn’t surprised; his wife had been preoccupied since learning of Yile’s intention to divorce. In Liangdu, she could only really talk to her eldest sister about her worries.

After Daohua finished reading the letter, Yan Wenxiu asked, "What’s your opinion?"

Daohua: "....Let the second branch decide for themselves."

Yan Wenxiu nodded: "I feel the same way. We can provide support for the second branch’s affairs, but when it comes to making decisions, they should still come to their own conclusions."

Daohua thought for a moment and then said, "If Yile is determined to divorce, the Feng Family might not agree. When elder brother responds, we could consider having father exert some pressure on the Feng Family."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang, who was playing with his son on the side, quickly glanced at Daohua, his expression wavering. Yan Wenxiu also couldn’t help but look at Daohua.

Both understood from her words that Daohua was expressing her support for Yan Yile’s divorce.
