Chapter 1013: Duan Lai Roujia
The pear blossoms are wet with rain, and they speak sweetly.
"I am because..."
Zhang Yu roared angrily.
"Shut up!"
His angry expression was replaced by a pitiful one in just a moment, and he continued to pour out his grievances.
"I truly love her, and even if it means suffering, I will choose to compromise."
"Lord Teng, please judge. Is her restriction of my freedom against the law?"
Teng Elan was somewhat indifferent.
"I can't make a judgment for now."
"Are you done?"
Hearing a hint of impatience, Zhang Yu became furious.
"no!"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Teng E-lan changed her attitude in time, smiled lightly, and acted calmly and submissively.
"please say."
Zhang Yu seemed to be filled with sorrow and it was extremely difficult to relieve it.
"The day before yesterday, at the East Market Teahouse, a host encountered difficulties and sincerely invited me to go to her house to help solve the problem."
"My wife won't let me go."
"I asked her why, but she still gave me an irrelevant answer."
"I know the real reason, and your Excellency knows it even better. Isn't she just suspecting that I'm secretly in love with that female anchor and am engaging in a secret affair?"
Teng Elan couldn't stand it any longer and gave a stern warning.
"Don't bring me along when you have something to say."
"I don't speculate on people's minds casually, and I don't have any ideas at the moment."
After talking for a long time, Lord Teng did not reprimand Dan. Zhang Yu felt unhappy and angry.
"Sir Teng is a woman, so she naturally favors women. She made random assumptions about my relationship with that female anchor and made me look like a villain."
Teng E'lan is dignified and gentle, yet she maintains her dignity.
"Divorce mediation must be fair and impartial, without favoritism or partiality. This is the state governor's rule, and I dare not violate it."
"My superior is Lord Yan, the Governor and the Minister of State. If Young Master Zhang has any objections to this mediation, please feel free to report them to him."
Zhang Yu argued convincingly and accused his wife of a crime.
"What's wrong with me being in a relationship with a female anchor?"
"Princess Yuexi's Yiren Qingcheng also has a female anchor."
"I would like to ask Lord Teng, my wife is preventing me from seeing her. Isn't this a blatant disobedience to Princess Yuexi?"
Dan Yao distinguished.
"I……"
Zhang Yu slammed the table heavily.
"I told you to shut up!"
Teng Elan calmed down and remained composed.
"Please, Young Master Zhang, do not threaten Miss Dan."
"I'm sorry I can't answer your question."
Zhang Yu was not discouraged.
"Master Teng can't answer these questions. That's fine. I don't mind."
"There is one thing that Lord Teng will surely be furious after hearing."
"Over the past year, she has said that she is in love with me, but in reality, her heart is with her parents."
"She often hides it from me, buys her this and that."
"What's worse, she has a younger brother at home. My savings are getting smaller and smaller, and it's all because of him!"
Not wanting to hear one side of the story anymore, Teng Elan called a halt.
"Your story, I..."
Zhang Yu was still not satisfied.
"Don't be impatient, Master Teng. I have not yet finished my complaint."
He spoke eloquently and narrated the story in a torrent of words.
"Last year, before we signed the marriage certificate, my father bought a house for my husband and me to live in. He took the initiative to avoid conflicts between father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He was very considerate."
"Jiaci, you come to my place every day, clean the house for us, and prepare three meals a day. You are so meticulous and thoughtful."
"Later, my younger brother needed to stay in my house for a while due to changes in his livelihood. But she didn't agree."
"She's devoted and caring towards her family. But she's completely indifferent to my family."
"Master Teng, imagine if your husband treated your family differently after marriage. Would you be willing to accept this?"
Teng E'lan never responded to his unreasonable questions.
To be honest, she hates this kind of man the most.
If you want to divorce, then divorce. If you want to have a mistress, then have a mistress. Just part ways amicably. Why pretend to be righteous and say that your wife has committed an unforgivable offense?
Could it be that if he hadn't said it like this, Dan Nu Niang would have to be with him and Yun would not want to be separated from him?
ridiculous.
Teng Elan spoke softly and sweetly, without showing any disgust.
"I've heard almost everything. May I ask, Young Master, what is your request?"
Zhang Yu expressed his demands.
"I hope your Excellency will persuade her not to divorce me."
Teng Elan was so surprised that she couldn't hide her shock.
"She filed for divorce?"
"Not you?"
When Zhang Yu heard this, he became very proud.
"Your Excellency also finds it incredible, right?"
"Me too."
"I've endured all of this. I love my wife dearly, but she filed for divorce. She's simply ungrateful and doesn't appreciate the blessings she has."
There was a hint of mockery in Teng E's blue eyes.
"That's not what I meant."
"I thought you were speaking so passionately, intending to sever your marital relationship with her, but I didn't expect you were trying to keep her."
Zhang Yu's speech was eloquent and elegant.
"I have always been deeply in love. How could I possibly think of breaking off our relationship?"
"She was heartless and ungrateful, and she insisted on abandoning me."
He speculated.
"Master Teng, please think about this: is she having another lover outside?"
Teng Elan did not answer, but politely gestured for someone to come in.
"Young Master Zhang, please have some tea and take a short rest."
She turned to the other side of the seat.
"Mrs. Dan, please state the reasons for your divorce."
Dan Xuan wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, looking extremely miserable.
"I have nothing to say, I just want you to get out of here as soon as possible."
Hearing that she didn't make any excuses, Zhang Yu felt relieved and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was sure of victory.
Teng E'lan was more than capable of handling the matter.
"It is common for people to be timid and nervous when entering a state governor's office, which can hinder their speech."
"Miss Dan, stay calm, don't be afraid or panic."
"I already understand the general situation. Next, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them, okay?"
Hearing that the words were not good, Zhang Yu angrily refused.
"not good!"
Teng Elan glanced at him.
"I didn't ask you anything. Please enjoy your tea, young man."
Zhang Yu's words are passionate.
"She said, 'I have nothing to say. Didn't Lord Teng hear it?'"
"I'm eloquent and she's speechless. You just need to rule on this case and deny the divorce."
"My colleagues are leaving the governor's office one after another after the official business is over. My Lord, aren't you in a hurry to go back home for dinner? What's the point of bothering me and my wife?"
Teng Elan remains steadfast in her principles.
"Whether to allow or not is up to me. I don't need Shao Lang to teach me."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Zhang Yu immediately became furious.
"You are abusing your power and bending the law!"
"Haven't you heard the saying? It's better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage!"
"If you insist on doing this, it will be unforgivable and you will be punished by heaven!"
Teng Elan warned.
"If you make trouble again, I will call the state governor's guards to enforce strict discipline."
Zhang Yu reluctantly shut his mouth.
Dan Yao is modest and polite.
"Please ask the question, Lord Teng. I am all ears."
Teng Elan picked up the book and turned to the first few pages.
"Regarding what Zhang Shaolang said, that you didn't allow him to attend the gathering with his friends, is that true?"
When mentioning this, Dan Yao felt extremely aggrieved and burst into tears.
"I have nothing to object to."
"It was my mother-in-law, Po-chi, who urged him to go home several times."
"When I heard about Poci's actions, I wanted to stop her and not spoil my husband's fun, but I was powerless."
Teng Elan asked.
"Why can't I do anything?"
Dan Yao answered humbly.
"At the time, I was in labor, giving birth to a child."
