108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 364 The Wife Given Away by Her Husband 2
Mao Renyi is now in a difficult situation. If Ning Yan does not agree, he will break his promise to the King of Yue, and not only will he offend the Duke's Mansion, but also the King of Yue. He has no way back.

In the end, he obediently handed over the two things to Ning Yan.

"Okay, now it's time to talk about what happens after the divorce."

"What else is there to do with He Li?"

"Of course, it's to count the dowry."

Mao Renyi's face finally turned dark!
On that day, there were occasional cries from the county magistrate's courtyard. If you didn't know, you would have thought that the county magistrate was dead.

The actual situation is, "Master, if you don't take care of it, the things in my room will be emptied out."

Mao Renyi: ...

"Master, Madam's maid has taken away Yu'er's jewelry box!"

Another concubine ran in and said, "Master, please help me. Madam's people have taken away all the jewelry you gave me."

Mao Renyi sat in the chair with a gloomy face, head down and silent.

Several concubines cried as if the sky had fallen.

But in fact, the Mao family’s sky had indeed collapsed.

How much is the annual salary of a seventh-rank official? It is not enough to support himself, and he also has three concubines. When Ning Yan takes away the dowry, the most expensive thing in the backyard of the county government is the big pot in the kitchen.

Coming out of the mansion, the maid worriedly asked, "Madam, where are we going next now that you and the master have divorced?"

Before Ning Yan could speak, a man dressed as a butler came over and bowed to An Jing, "Madam, my master asked me to pick you up. The house in the capital is ready."

Ning Yan: "What's your master's surname?"

"My last name is Pang."

Ning Yan glanced at the housekeeper and said, "Thank you for the trip. I have my own house in the capital, but I still need you to take care of these dowries."

Old housekeeper: ... "Yes, ma'am."

The prince ordered him to bring a team of guards with him when he came. The prince was really thoughtful.

Ning Yan got into the hired carriage, and the maid followed her in. The carriage headed straight for the capital.

An County is only a little over a hundred miles away from the capital, but the convoy moved slowly and did not arrive in the capital until the afternoon of the next day.

The current ruler's surname is Pang. The King of Yue is his younger brother, but he is very strange. When he was young, he was always killing enemies on the battlefield. He married a princess, but later the princess died in childbirth, leaving behind a daughter.

Later, the emperor tried more than once to find a concubine for his younger brother, but was rejected by the King of Yue every time.

Then, somehow, the news about the King of Yue’s good wife spread.

Moreover, the King of Yue did keep many women on one farm. This matter was damaging to the reputation of the royal family, so it was always controlled within a certain range and not many people knew about it.

Ning Yan didn't know when King Yue fell in love with the original owner, nor did she know whether he really liked married women, but she didn't intend to follow King Yue's ideas.

Mao Rui was saved, after all, he was the original owner's son.

As soon as she arrived at the city gate, Ning Yan handed a letter she had written in the inn last night to Butler Xiong. Butler Xiong thought that it was Madam Ning who wanted to express her feelings to the prince through a letter, so he rode back to the palace at full speed with the letter.

Ning Yan moved into her own yard and immediately wrote a letter to her family, explaining the whole story and telling them that they must never give money to Mr. Mao if he asked for it again.

The Ning family's business in the local area is quite large, otherwise they wouldn't have real estate and farms in the capital. The original owner married Mao Renyi, which was a huge loss.

After writing the letter, he asked his confidant to deliver it, and then called for a human trafficker to pick out more than thirty servants. With so many people, the yard immediately became lively.

That night, Ning Yan took a comfortable bath with the help of her maid. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she found something wrong.

"You guys go down first."

The two maids looked at each other and then retreated. The door closed with a slight sound.

Ning Yan stepped into the inner room.

"I am sorry that you have come to visit me, Your Majesty."

The King of Yue, who was standing in front of the window, turned around and looked at the beauty in front of him, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Madam is very brave. She is not afraid of encountering a pervert."

"The prince has arranged so many guards outside the palace, how could this pervert come in?"

Ning Yan wanted to laugh a little. She heard that the King of Yue had killed so many people on the battlefield that he couldn't have children, so he built a Buddhist temple in his mansion and chanted scriptures and worshipped Buddha every day.

She didn't believe it before, but now when she saw the Buddhist beads in his hand, she really believed it a little.

"Your Majesty must have come here tonight because of that letter. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

The King of Yue felt that she was different from the last time he saw her half a year ago.

There was an obvious difference in temperament, and he was somewhat skeptical if this was really the same person?
I thought of the sentence attached to the prescription: I would like to exchange this prescription for my son’s safety.

The unhappiness in my heart suddenly emerged.

She clearly rejected him.

"The recipe you wrote for refining iron is very useful. Tell me what reward you want?"

Ning Yan raised her eyebrows. Even though she was only wearing a nightgown and her hair was loose, she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She walked lightly to the table and sat down, poured two cups of tea, and motioned for the King of Yue to sit down.

King Yue: ...Does she really come from an ordinary merchant family?

Such manners and character can never be cultivated by a small merchant.

"The request has been written. I will use it to exchange for my son's safety."

"Releasing Mao Rui is just a matter of a word from me. This prescription is very useful. He can even be promoted to the position of a princess."

Ning Yan: "But why should the prince speak for me?"

We are just strangers, so let's just talk about interests and don't bring up anything else.

The King of Yue actually picked up the Buddhist beads. Ning Yan raised her eyebrows. Is he angry?
"What if I insist?"

"I'm very curious, what on earth does the prince like about me? My face?
But there are so many beautiful women in the world, why does Your Majesty have to get entangled with a married woman like me?"

The key point is that in ancient times, the only one who would be hurt in the end would be the woman, and it would not have any impact on the King of Yue.

The King of Yue was also puzzled. He only had a quick glance at her last time, but he still remembered her.

I have thought of her from time to time in the past six months.

It just so happened that the county magistrate named Mao asked for a meeting and offered to give his wife to him. He just thought it was funny at the time. How could a man like that be worthy of getting married?

Isn't it because he is afraid of losing his official position that he sells his wife for fame and fortune?

He even had to make up an excuse to save his son!
Even though it was his wife who saved his son, he still acted as if he had made a great sacrifice.

But it's true, he sacrificed his wife. Maybe those who were sacrificed were not valued. He just exchanged what he didn't like for what he wanted most.

If you ask him, there is no point in Mao Renyi being an official. He should go into business. With his intelligence and talent, he will definitely make a lot of money.

Later, he learned about what Mao Rui had done. To put it bluntly, the two children had a fight, and the illegitimate son of the Duke's Mansion was not even scratched. The Duke's Mansion had a high status, so he was sent to Jingzhao Mansion.
