Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2516: Chapter 2517: Return to Tianyun (83)

”You can go during the day and come back at night! Now you say you want to live there for such a long time, wasn’t she the one who incited you! I’ve long seen it. Even if she married in, she never considered this place her home, wanting to return every day! Fine, then divorce her, let her go back home, and never come back again!”

Tao Chengyin was also so angry that he didn’t care that Wan Banyan’s father was a Marquis, and said these words.

Wan Banyan, although she looked down a bit on the Tao Mansion, believing she had married beneath her, never thought she would be divorced. Hearing Tao Chengyin’s words, she immediately burst into tears, crying with great resentment, ”You only care about Huo Xiner. My husband, the legitimate son, you don’t care about at all. My husband has to take the provincial exams next year too!”

Tao Chengyin was still furious, turning to ask Taoming Hai, ”Haier, is this what you think as well?”

Taoming Hai saw how angry his father was and didn’t dare admit it, but he felt very wronged in his heart, so he only said, ”Haier wouldn’t dare!”

”Wouldn’t dare? Seems like you think so too! How muddle-headed! How could you be so muddle-headed!” In the end, Tao Chengyin began to scold again, so angry that he was shaking all over.

”Father, I...” Taoming Hai truly didn’t know where he was muddle-headed.

Wan Banyan also didn’t know, only crying continuously, looking particularly aggrieved.

Tao Chengyin ignored Wan Banyan’s crying, only sternly saying to Taoming Hai, ”You are my only legitimate son, won’t this house be yours in the future?! Since your sister-in-law has talent as a Martial Champion, if she really passes and becomes the Martial Champion, the family will also be infinitely glorious. And the better this family gets, won’t it be better for you to inherit in the future? Do you really want to inherit a ruined home to be satisfied? Huh?! Moreover, do you not know your own weight? Your sister-in-law was the top Martial Talent, and the examining official praised her; her chance of becoming the Champion is greater than yours. Moreover, the Emperor openly promised those things in front of all officials in the palace, how glorious that is. I originally thought you understood, so I focused on her first, letting her take her exam well, thinking you can take your time, and I wouldn’t pressure you. But to my surprise, you’re so muddle-headed, thinking I don’t care about you as my son at all? You are my legitimate son, how could I not care about you?!”

Taoming Hai was like being doused with cold water, quickly pulling Wan Banyan to kneel together, ”Father, we were muddle-headed. Please calm down. It’s just that recently, seeing sister-in-law so glorious, compounded with me taking the imperial exam and doing much worse than sister-in-law, it made me a bit depressed. We really didn’t mean to upset you.”

Tao Chengyin scolded again, ”Since you know you’re worse than your sister-in-law, you should strive hard instead of being depressed!”

”Yes, yes, Father’s teaching is right.”

Only then did Tao Chengyin’s expression soften, earnestly saying, ”Haier, you are still young. Even if you don’t pass this time, there’s always the next. Look at the previous Martial Champion, didn’t he pass in his fifties? Although your sister-in-law can also test many times, this time isn’t the opportunity hard to come by? The Emperor personally promised, if she really passes next year and becomes the Martial Champion against the odds, it will bring even more glory to the Tao family.”

”Yes, yes, Father is right.”

”Haier, you should focus on the big picture. Furthermore, she is your sister-in-law after all. Even if you two can’t get along well, there’s no need to be enemies. A harmonious family prospers in everything.”

Taoming Hai immediately said, ”Father, your son won’t do this in the future, rest assured.”
