After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure (3)

Chapter 535: Encounter

He hated her as much as he had been proud of her before.

She had always been thinking too highly of herself and doing evil acts.

If she didn't stir any trouble and stayed with Prince Jin, this wouldn't have happened.

The key was that she was divorced, and the Ruan family was finished as well.

Ruan Songling picked up the divorce papers and saw that it was indeed Liang Yujun's handwriting, and his seal was stamped on it.

She fell back into the chair and looked a little dazed. "No, he won't do this to me."

"You'd better take it easy. Prince Jin has ordered our family to gather 300,000 taels of silver to repair the road within ten days. Otherwise, our whole family will be exiled.

"The Ruan family is really screwed because of you, my unfilial daughter."

Ruan Songling was used to being a tyrant in her family, so she was instantly indignant when she heard this.

"How did I harm the Ruan family? Without me, would the Ruan family be where they are today?

"Can you become a high-ranking official in Northern City and be flattered by others?

"Without me, would those in this family have such an easy time?

"Don't make it sound like you're all innocent."

Father Ruan was so angry that his entire body was shaking.

He pointed at her and said, "Good, you're really good.

"From today onwards, my eldest daughter-in-law will be the housekeeper for the time being. You two should reflect on your actions."

After he finished speaking, he flung his sleeves angrily and left.

He knew very well what kind of person Prince Jin was.

He had given them ten days.

If they could not gather 300,000, they would definitely be thrown into exile.

His heart was bleeding, but he had to do it.

He gathered all the silver in the house, and there was only about two hundred thousand taels.

Thus, he was busy counting the properties and wanted to sell them to get another hundred thousand taels.

In the backyard, Father Ruan's concubines, illegitimate children, and women did not expect Prince Jin to divorce Ruan Songling.

All of them were gloating in their hearts.

He no longer cared about her and her daughter.

However, as they were afraid that Prince Jin would suddenly come to pick them up again, they did not fall out with them and left the backyard one after another.

Father Ruan's concubine's eldest son and daughter-in-law also quickly took on the authority to manage the household.

As Mother Ruan hugged her daughter and cried, she also complained that her daughter was too pretentious.

Therefore, she continued to persuade Ruan Songling to coax Prince Jin.

At first, Ruan Songling didn't agree, but she found that her treatment at home had plummeted.

Other than the regular three meals a day, she didn't have any other things to eat.

The attitudes of the concubines, illegitimate sons, and their wives, who usually flattered her, had also changed.

Ruan Songling had no choice but to accept the reality.

She took the initiative to leave her maternal family's home and go to the Prince's mansion, preparing to give in to Prince Jin.

On the way, she heard many commoners talking.

"Have you guys heard? Prince Jin divorced her princess consort and even demoted Ordinary County Princess into a commoner and chased her out of his residence."

"I heard about it two days ago. This news came from Prince Jin's residence."

"That's great. Liang Mingmin liked to use Prince Jin's residence to do whatever she wanted. I heard that the Ruan family had caused many deaths in the past. The two of them deserved it."

"Mdm Ruan also wanted to burn Princess Fubao, who was conferred this title by the emperor. She was the disciple of the old immortal who had offered two high-yield seeds. Mdm Ruan was really bold."

"That's right, that's why she got her retribution."

Whether it was the aristocratic families or the commoners, everyone in Northern City had been gossiping about this matter.

Moreover, they all looked like they were watching a good show and felt that the pair of mother and daughter deserved it.

The things that the two of them had done in the past were really unpleasant and had even offended many people.

Ruan Songling listened to these people's discussions.

If this happened in the past, she would have already asked the guards to beat these people to death.

However, when she returned, all the guards protecting her in Prince Jin's residence had left.

The servant girl that Prince Jin had given her had also left.

She couldn't do that even if she wanted to.

She secretly remembered it and thought that when she returned to the position of a princess consort, she would definitely settle the score with these people.

However, it was wonderful to imagine it, but when she arrived at Prince Jin's residence, she couldn't even enter the door.

The butler, who was usually as respectful as a dog to her, had completely changed his attitude.

Not only did he not bow, his expression was ugly, and he was even mocking her.

Liang Yujun refused to see her either.

She even met some maidservants and manservants who went out to do business, and they even looked at her coldly.

After she married Prince Jin, she had never experienced such an encounter.

She was so angry that she almost fainted.

She felt even more embarrassed, so she returned to her maternal family's home.

Father Ruan and the others also knew about the treatment she received at the entrance of Prince Jin's residence, so they were completely certain that Prince Jin had really given up on Ruan Songling.

In particular, Prince Jin also released the news of divorcing his princess consort and removing Liang Mingmin from his residence.

Recently, not only was Father Ruan being bullied by his boss, but he was also being picked on by his colleagues who used to be suppressed by him.

He was also busy selling his family property and was suffering unspeakably.

He blamed all of this on Ruan Songling.

It also caused their family to reduce the expenditure on Ruan Songling and the others. No matter how much trouble they stirred, they didn't care.
