Chapter 217: Reconciliation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Dashan chimed in, saying, “Once you’re back at the Marquis Mansion, you can leave the upkeep of the house to Uncle’s family. We’ll make sure it’s regularly maintained and cleaned, all at no cost to you. We won’t ever ask for a single penny.”
Su Ping retorted with a dismissive snort, “Certainly not necessary. We can manage our house on our own.”
In truth, they had no intention of returning to the Marquis Mansion.
Qian Dashan’s smile widened. “I’m no stranger here, what are you implying?”
In reality, his concern was that the Su Family might hand over the house to Qian Shanmin, potentially leading to the fields and yam plots in the mountains also falling under Qian Shanmin’s control.
Qian Dashan and the others had their sights set on both the fields and the yam plots.
Before they could voice their thoughts, he preempted them, “It’s premature to discuss this now. We can delve into this matter when we relocate to the capital.”
Ms. Lin was taken aback. “What do you mean? Are you saying you won’t be heading to the capital?”
Qian Dashan shot her a stern look. “How can they not go to the capital? One residence is akin to the heavens, while the other is mere earth.”
“Furthermore, why should the past grudges burden the current generation?”
Su Bin cast a cold glance at them. “Even if we do decide to move later on, we’ll entrust the house to someone trustworthy. No need to inquire further, you won’t be considered.”
Flushed with embarrassment, Qian Dashan and his wife left with their mother, cautious not to provoke Su Bin.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled inwardly – a problem that could be solved with a single sentence.
News of Su Lan’s family’s connection to the Marquis Mansion quickly circulated among the nearby villages.
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yizhi’s family was utterly astonished – they had unwittingly let go of a significant opportunity!
Had Wang Yizhi not divorced Su Lan, the entire family could have relished a life in the capital!
Regret gnawed at the whole family, prompting them to consider the possibility of rectifying the situation. Consequently, they dispatched their youngest son to fetch Wang Yizhi back home.
When the news reached Wang Yizhi, he was left dumbfounded.
What a ridiculous twist of fate!
Could his luck be any worse?
He had parted ways with Su Lan in pursuit of money, only to discover that she had ascended to the position of Lady at the Marquis Mansion – a transformation akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In comparison, his wife’s well-off family was nothing more than mosquitoes compared to the grandeur of the Marquis Mansion.
Wang Yizhi’s brother offered him a gentle reminder. “Brother, Mom and Dad want you to reconcile with Elder Sister-in-law.”
“Fine. ”
With gritted teeth, Wang Yizhi made his resolution. For the sake of wealth, influence, and his future prospects, he deemed it worthwhile to implore Su Lan for forgiveness.
He hadn’t yet formalized his union with his well-fed wife, and she wasn’t bearing his child either.
Rather than being drained by his robust wife, he might as well kneel before Su
Lan and plead. After all, he and Su Lan shared a daughter, and their ties were still intact. Perhaps, in consideration of their daughter’s father, Su Lan might
reconsider.
On the third morning following the Old Marquis’s arrival, Wang Yizhi, who had just returned from the prefecture, laden with numerous gifts, arrived in Qian Village accompanied by his parents.
Even on their journey, they were recognized by passersby.
“Look, isn’t that Su Lan’s ex-husband? And are those her former in-laws?” “Yes, why are they here?”
“It appears they’re seeking reconciliation. Given that they’ve learned about Su Lan’s position as a lady in the Marquis Mansion, they’re probably aiming to implore her forgiveness and reunite.” “Do you reckon Su Lan would acquiesce?”
“I highly doubt it.”
“Me too”
