The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 381: To Stay or to Leave?

Yun Jiao chuckled and said, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"Would she know shame when she’s involved with a married woman?"

Big Uncle said sternly, "But you can’t speak ill of your mother! You’re still the younger generation!"

Yun Jiao laughed, "What kind of reasoning is this? Can’t speak of what’s done?"

"Alright, I’ll just say one thing, my father might not have died, and a married woman does something disgraceful like this, I can report her to the government, and the government can rule for a divorce!"

Of course, this was just to scare them; for Gu Chuan’s future, she wouldn’t actually do it.

Is it really honorable to have a mother that’s been divorced for being unfaithful?

Hearing this, no one spoke anymore.

If Li got divorced, Yun Jiao wouldn’t have to pay twenty taels of silver a year.

Even Li stopped sobbing, just covering her face with a kerchief.

Yun Jiao glanced outside and saw a few figures approaching, then said calmly, "Twenty taels of silver, if you agree, she stays."

"If you think it’s too little, that’s fine, I’ll just take her away."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Big Uncle, Big Aunt, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt looked at each other, hesitating, unable to decide.

They wanted more silver but feared losing the twenty taels they had in hand.

At that moment, Yun Jiao’s eldest cousin suddenly looked outside and said, "Who are you?"

Yun Jiao responded unhurriedly, "They’re all my companions."

Lin Shuo held a sword, Jiang Youzhi also held a sword, and the two stepped into the room, flanking Yun Jiao on either side.

Yun Jiao weighed the silver in her hand and said calmly, "Big Uncle, make a decision quickly."

Both men were handsome.

One was elegant and refined, the other heroic and spirited; if they weren’t both wearing cold expressions and holding swords, Big Aunt and Second Aunt would have gladly looked at them a few more times.

At this moment, Big Aunt hesitated, "How about this, we don’t dare ask for two hundred taels, so, how about fifty taels a year?"

Yun Jiao’s expression turned cold, she stuffed the silver back into her pocket, then turned to Lin Shuo and said, "Brother Lin, I’m afraid I have to trouble you again, we’ll need to take her back."

Lin Shuo took a big step forward, then Li actually felt a bit delighted, quickly leaving her mother’s embrace, tidying up her clothes, and fixing her hair.

Having seen Xiang City’s prosperity, how could she be willing to stay in this countryside?

Yun Jiao’s lips curled slightly, "Then let’s go."

"Alright." Li agreed crisply and began to walk.

Two aunts panicked, how could she leave, this was twenty taels, if she leaves, there’s nothing!

The two aunts rushed forward, each grabbing one of Li’s arms, "Good sister, where are you going? Isn’t it nice living at home?"

Yun Jiao’s patience at this point had been exhausted, "What exactly are you all saying? Is she going or staying?"

The people in the room spoke in unison, "Stay!"

Li alone said "Go!" which sounded particularly abrupt.

Yun Jiao took out the silver again and said calmly, "Alright then, let’s agree, twenty taels a year, all her food, clothes, doctor visits, everything’s covered by these twenty taels. Not a penny more will I give!"

She looked at Big Uncle, then at Second Uncle, finally seeing Big Uncle hesitate before nodding.

Yun Jiao looked at the others until each nodded, then placed the twenty taels of silver on the chair, preparing to leave with Gu Chuan.

Big Uncle swiftly stepped forward, picked up the silver, and quickly stuffed it into his pocket.
