Chapter 320 Wen Zongqi Wants a Divorce
County Princess's Mansion
Wen Zongji is off today. Pei Rujing went to see Zuo Mingxuan, leaving Wen Zongji to keep Rui Ge'er company.
Wen Zongji stood not far away, clapped his hands, and said softly to Rui Ge'er, "Rui Ge'er, come here and find your father."
"Daddy~"
Rui stood there, somewhat afraid to move.
Wen Zongji encouraged him, "Rui-ge'er, don't be afraid, Father is right here, come here—"
Rui-ge'er frowned and reached out his arms, saying, "Daddy~ hug~"
"Daddy will hold you, Rui-ge'er, come here and Daddy will hold you."
Wen Zongji smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.
Rui pouted, looking a little aggrieved, but he felt very insecure standing there; he was somewhat afraid.
Rui looked down at his feet, took a careful step, and his body swayed.
Wen Zongji's heart tightened, ready to support Rui Ge'er at any moment.
The maidservant beside her was also watching closely.
But Rui Ge'er only swayed twice before regaining his balance and did not fall.
Seeing that he hadn't fallen, Rui-ge'er felt a surge of courage: "Daddy~"
Wen Zongji immediately said, "Rui-ge'er is so great! Just a few more steps, and Daddy will be able to carry you."
Encouraged, Rui'er's face tightened as he approached Wen Zongji step by step.
With each step he took, his body swayed, giving the impression that he was about to fall, yet he never actually did.
Finally, Ruige walked steadily to Wen Zongji and threw himself into his arms.
Wen Zongji smiled and picked up Rui Ge'er, kissing his cheek: "Rui Ge'er is so amazing, he can already walk."
Rui Ge'er looked aggrieved and said, "Daddy's scared."
He was terrified.
Wen Zongji comforted him, "Rui-ge'er is great, isn't he? You walked up to your father on your own, that's amazing."
Rui blinked: "Great?"
Wen Zongji nodded in affirmation: "Yes, that's excellent."
Rui Ge'er's previous tension and fear dissipated, and he grinned.
Granny Feng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shake her head.
Whether it's a county princess or a young master, they can't escape the sweet words of their son-in-law.
They've all been coaxed into pouting.
"Third Brother—"
Wen Zongji sat down with Rui Ge'er in his arms, planning to do it again later.
No sooner had I sat down than Wen Zongqi rushed in.
Wearing a panda eye.
Wen Zongji was just about to scold him for being so impulsive when he saw his panda eyes and froze.
"You...were you beaten up?"
Wen Zongqi's chest heaved with anger: "Shrew! Unreasonable! I want a divorce! I want a divorce from that shrew!"
Wen Zongqi got married in May, and only two months later, the couple has already argued countless times.
Wen Zongqi has been calling for a divorce since the first day of their marriage, but he hasn't succeeded yet. However, this is the first time he has been beaten.
Wen Zongji asked, "Why did your sister-in-law hit you?"
Wen Zongqi choked for a moment, then retorted, "What's wrong with me, a grown man, visiting a brothel?"
Wen Zongji suddenly realized: "Your sister-in-law saw you?"
Wen Zongqi said bitterly, "That shrew went directly to the brothel to arrest me, humiliated me in public, and even... even punched me. She didn't treat me like her husband at all. What kind of woman treats her husband like that? I must get a divorce."
Wen Zongji waited quietly for him to finish speaking: "I told you from the beginning that if you want to get something from others, you must first think about what you have accomplished yourself."
"You've been married for two months, what have you done for your younger brother and sister-in-law?"
"She's a woman who married into the Marquis of Zhongyong's household. She knows no one here, and you're the only one she can rely on. But have you given her anyone to rely on?"
Wen Zongqi's face stiffened: "Mother is very biased towards her. Every time we quarrel, Mother always scolds me, but she is kind and gentle to her."
"That's because your mother is thinking about your relationship," Wen Zongji said calmly, looking at him. "Put your hand on your heart and tell me, could your mother like her more than you?"
Wen Zongqi was speechless.
It was well-known that Mrs. Chiang doted on her youngest son, so it was impossible for her to transfer her affections to someone else, especially her daughter-in-law, in such a short time.
"You only saw her hitting you in public, without considering your feelings. Then, two months after your marriage, you went to a brothel. Where did you put your sister-in-law's dignity?"
Wen Zongqi retorted, "It's all because she's too shrewish. If she were gentler and more considerate, why would I have ended up in a brothel?"
In Wen Zongqi's mind, a wife's duty is to serve her husband well. If his wife is not good enough, then he shouldn't blame her for going out to seek pleasure.
"Did you go to brothels less often before you had a feisty wife?"
Wen Zongqi remained silent once again.
"Don't blame your pleasure-seeking on others. Your sister-in-law is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wuxin; her status is no less than yours. Don't think that just because she married you, she has to put you first in everything."
"Don't you know Marquis Wu's temper? I accidentally offended him once, and he came straight to my door. Today, you were caught by your sister-in-law visiting a brothel. If Marquis Wu finds out, what do you think he will do?"
Wen Zongqi's expression changed drastically: "Third Brother, what... what should I do?"
He has completely forgotten how formidable Marquis Wu Xin was!
Upon hearing Wen Zongji's words, the image of Wu Xinbo chasing after him with a long sword involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Wen Zongqi couldn't help but shudder!
Wen Zongji said, "So you should thank your sister-in-law for punching you."
"Should I thank her?"
Wen Zongqi could not believe it.
"It's fortunate that your sister-in-law punched you, making you lose face in public. Since your sister-in-law got her revenge, Wu Xinbo won't hold it against you anymore."
Wen Zongqi found it strange, yet also felt it made some sense.
For a moment, Wen Zongqi didn't know what to say.
Rui Ge'er listened to the two talking. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, his little face was tense, as if he was listening very attentively.
Wen Zongji held his small hand and continued, "Fourth brother, you think you did nothing wrong? You've probably forgotten why we couldn't stand Zhao Hongrong back then."
"Zhao Hongrong behaved exceptionally well before your younger sister became pregnant, while you've only been married two months and you're already frequenting brothels. Put yourself in his shoes, do you still think you're right?"
Wen Zongqi stood frozen in place.
After a long silence, Wen Zongqi lowered his eyes and said, "But we really are incompatible; we can't even exchange a few words before we start arguing."
He didn't necessarily want to embarrass Chen Xiu Nian; it was just that the two of them disliked each other, and he felt very oppressed staying in the mansion.
Jiang Shi always sided with Chen Xiu Nian. Although the Marquis's mansion was clearly his home, he felt isolated and helpless, and could only go out to find fun.
"But you had many solutions, and you chose the most humiliating one!"
Wen Zongqi asked, "Then what does Third Brother think I should do?"
Wen Zongji shook his head: "I don't know about your marital issues, so I can't give you any useful advice. I only know that you should put yourself in her shoes. If you want your sister-in-law to respect you, you must first respect her. Think about how you treated her in the past, and maybe you'll find the reason why you always argue."
Wen Zongqi fell into deep thought.
He was reflecting on his attitude towards Chen Xiu Nian since the beginning of their marriage.
It doesn't seem to be very good.
Because at that time he was full of resistance to marriage, feeling that he would lose his freedom once he got married, naturally, this resistance affected Chen Xiu Nian.
