"Prepare yourself for that matter!" w.a.n.g Luo Hai said before he turned his back, deciding to leave the sisters all alone. After this, he had no connection with both of them so he didn"t want to listen to their conversation anymore.
It was just a mere fight between siblings anyway.
Madam w.a.n.g understood what he meant and weakly nodded --- it must be about the divorce. "I know... I will..." She answered, feeling tired to fight again.
Before w.a.n.g Luo Hai left, Madam w.a.n.g decided to ask a question that she had been feeling curious about all her life, "Have you... Have you ever loved me when we were together? Or at least, felt something for me?" She looked pitiful, standing there with a broken expression.
However, w.a.n.g Luo Hai didn"t even give her a glance. She couldn"t do any trick to make him pity her and Madam w.a.n.g could only look at him sadly.
w.a.n.g Luo Hai stopped walking. He sighed and decided to answer her, but he didn"t turn his body around --- just letting his back face her. "Yes, I have..." w.a.n.g Luo Hai answered truthfully. "Maybe it hadn"t come to the state of being in love, but it"s something that almost changed to love in a few moments... After all, you were really good to me and I could see how wholeheartedly in love you were with me... I thought that I could really love you back but..." He didn"t continue on but she knew what he meant.
Madam w.a.n.g was surprised because she had thought that he would answer her with a "no" --- at least, she would have no regret that way. No matter what she did, he wouldn"t change his mind. However, he said yes!
"When?" She asked in a soft voice.
w.a.n.g Luo Hai answered, "Right before you gave me the infertile medicine. I was going to tell you about it when the report came that you are the one who did all that to me, in the end, all those good feelings vanished along with that matter..."
"Wh --- What?!" Madam w.a.n.g asked in surprise.
Her wrong move changed everything and it made her lose the happiness that she had been waiting for so long... she almost grasped it and she ruined it herself! The taste of regret was really bitter ah~! However, there was no medicine for regret...
There was no chance for them to reconcile --- after all, she started to realize that what she had done was really horrendous.
She wanted to ask more but w.a.n.g Luo Hai had had enough of her, so she didn"t get a chance to talk because he left right away without looking back. Her soul seemed to be gone right after he left. It was painful, so painful that she bit her lower lip hard so that she would stop crying. However, the sobbing sound behind her woke her up.
Ru Hua cried, looking pitifully on the ground. She actually didn"t know why things were going wrong when she almost tasted her fruit of success!
She had decided to fight Madam w.a.n.g head-on because she had failed to seduce w.a.n.g Luo Hai so it was better if it looked like she was being bullied by Madam w.a.n.g. At least, everyone who came too late to see the show would still pity her. However, she made a miscalculation because Madam w.a.n.g apparently didn"t need her reputation anymore. After all, she had lost everything ah~!
She came to Ru Hua and without beating around the bush, she pulled the latter"s hair until Ru Hua yelled loudly because of the pain. Ru Hua didn"t think that Madam w.a.n.g would go this far ah~! At least, she thought that Madam w.a.n.g would want to save her own face.
Ru Hua wasn"t a patient person, to begin with. Thus, she decided to fight back with all her strength. Whatever Madam w.a.n.g did to her, she also did the same thing to Madam w.a.n.g.
What Madam w.a.n.g did had started the fight between them which became a sight to behold to see for the servants and maidservants there. The two women made a loud commotion which attracted them, thus, many people started to gather around them and they were surprised that the elegant Madam was able to fight like this.
Both of them didn"t look like an official"s daughter, but instead, they looked like a shrew. They ignored the murmur that was surrounding them and focused on their own fight.
Xiao Yu was taken aback and asked, "Young Mistress, shouldn"t we stop them?" After all, it could affect her young mistress" reputation as well.
However, Yao Ling didn"t seem to be as worried as her. From the way Yao Ling had seen it, Madam w.a.n.g was still winning. "Just let Madam w.a.n.g vent her anger for a little while, because everything that she has... has been ruined by Ru Hua..." In a way, she felt pity for Madam w.a.n.g. If she wasn"t being used, maybe they would be able to have a good mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p.
When w.a.n.g Luo Hai knew about the fight, he could only shake his head. He told the matriarch"s strong Mo Mos to separate them. Ru Hua was sent home in her messy appearance, making her become the laughing stock of the people who had seen her.
"It serves her right!" Yao Ling thought to herself. That woman looked weak but she dared to work together with Tang Shu Yu.
Madam w.a.n.g got better treatment. Her maidservants helped her to tidy up herself before she was given the letter of divorce. Without reading any of the terms or making it difficult, she signed it... Actually, w.a.n.g Luo Hai was still being generous to her because he gave her a house and a hefty sum of money that could last her a lifetime as long as she knew how to manage it.
Just like that, Madam w.a.n.g had gone from w.a.n.g Fu. The concubines thought that one of them would be elevated and became the main wife, but after waiting for quite some time, nothing happened. w.a.n.g Luo Hai let the t.i.tle vacant because he was too tired to entangle with women anymore --- he let the matriarch continue handling everything until Yao Ling was good enough to do it by herself.
Yao Ling heard that Madam w.a.n.g was fighting with her father. When her legal birth mother knew what her husband had planned to do by sending Ru Hua there, she was beyond angry. She divorced her husband as well and left him. She chose to stay with her only daughter and spend their lives together.
This matter made a quite big scandal and the fiancee that had been angry because he was almost being cuckolded by Ru Hua, decided to break with her and cancel the marriage. Everything turned into a mess in one day.
If they thought it carefully, only Madam w.a.n.g and her mother got the better result --- it was all due to w.a.n.g Luo Hai"s last bit of kindness to them.
Oh well... at least, w.a.n.g Fu had been successfully being cleaned up by them and everything became so peaceful. The concubines didn"t dare to offend Yao Ying and Yao Ling after they had seen what happened to Madam w.a.n.g.
The latter had a strong background and she had been defeated thoroughly. What more the lowly concubines ah~?!
