Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!

Chapter 177 - 174: Such Excellent Skills, Yet Nearly Wasted by That Old Scoundrel!

Are you that happy?

But... she seems to be quite happy, too.

However, Ruan Mian didn’t make a fuss about this matter, as there’s still a bunch of things at home waiting for her to handle one by one.

Early the next morning, she went to find her eldest aunt and the two of them went to get the divorce paper for Su Niang.

Before leaving, Shaoxi brought Su Niang from the back mountain and upon seeing Ruan Mian, Yin Shaoxi hurriedly informed her.

"Miss, Su Niang’s archery skills are truly extraordinary! I am ashamed to say I can’t compare. Just look, she hunted several wild rabbits in just an hour!"

To receive Shaoxi’s praise, it’s evident Su Niang’s skills are impressive.

The eldest aunt then regretted for her, "Such good craftsmanship, yet almost buried and squandered by that old geezer ruining her life!"

Seeing Su Niang’s dejected expression, the eldest aunt quickly patted her shoulder. "But it’s not too late! Mianmian and I will get your divorce paper right now! The road ahead is wide open!"

In Su Niang’s grateful gaze, the figures of the two disappeared into the forest.

Riding White Tiger, they shot out like an arrow.

They headed straight for Wang Mansion.

Unfortunately, Wang the Elder was not there, and they were received by Wang the Second.

In front of the eldest aunt, Wang the Second acted like a sycophant, quickly inviting them inside to sit.

He even specially prepared the Glazed Gemstone Stool that the eldest aunt liked.

Before they could speak, he was already smiling and handed over the divorce paper written by Wang Shi.

"Miss Ruan, Jun Lan, this is the divorce paper my brother wrote, henceforth my sister-in-law has no ties with the Wang family. I will also ensure her dowry is all accounted for and delivered in full."

The eldest aunt took it and glanced over, her face questioning as she stared at Wang the Second.

"You seem calm, wasn’t your brother beaten up yesterday? Also, why aren’t you angry at us?"

Logically, after yesterday’s incident, the Wang family should have lost face, and Wang the Second surely would have been implicated.

Yet he wasn’t angry, treating them with the same cordiality as ever.

Wang the Second immediately sat up straight, pretending to answer, "Jun Lan, this has nothing to do with me, you know? I had no idea my brother did so many terrible things behind the scenes!"

"Now my brother is imprisoned by my uncle, once everything is investigated, there will be an explanation to the citizens and the grievances of my sister-in-law will be rectified one by one. If you implicate me, that would be unjust for me too."

"You?"

The eldest aunt couldn’t be bothered to expose him, Wang the Second and Lord Wang really have no conscience!

When the scandal broke, they quickly protected themselves, leaving his brother to take all the blame.

But perhaps, for them, this might not be a bad matter.

Keeping Wang the Second at least ensures there’s someone to grow medicinal herbs for them.

The eldest aunt thus accepted the divorce paper.

She didn’t want to waste time drinking tea, "Since we’re here today, why not take us to see how your medicinal herb field is doing."

Upon hearing this, Wang the Second immediately stood up to lead them out of the mansion.

The plantation was at some distance from his residence, passing through a wasteland filled with oak trees.

A lush spread, neither too high nor too low.

But as soon as Wang the Second reached this place, his brows furrowed.

He made a determined lunge, hugging his own body and darted through the oak woods like an arrow! Still waving as he went, "Jun Lan, Miss Ruan, hurry over here!! Don’t let those bugs touch you!!"

Bugs?

The eldest aunt wasn’t afraid of bugs.

She calmly walked through the oak woods, making Wang the Second’s heart pound with fear.

As soon as she arrived in front of Wang the Second, she took off a big green worm from his back.

Soft, squishy big meat worm, "Oh dear, Wang the Second, you have quite a few on you!"

When Wang the Second saw it, he was so frightened his beard almost straightened.

As their eyes met, he fainted.

The eldest aunt was perplexed, "What kind of person faints at the sight of a worm?"

"Hey! Get up, old lady doesn’t want you blocking the way!"

The eldest aunt unceremoniously kicked him twice.

At this time Ruan Mian also noticed these green worms, reaching out to grab a couple to examine, she spoke delightedly.

"Aunt, do you know what this is?"

The eldest aunt leaned over, touching the worm’s body, "Could it be... some precious medicinal herb?"

"It can be used medicinally, but it has even greater value."

"This is called oak silkworm, also known as mountain silkworm. The silk it produces is pure and lustrous, capable of making luxurious fabric clothing. Didn’t expect there to be this many here."

Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt’s mind immediately started turning.

"Mianmian, do you mean... it can be bred in large quantities for silk weaving? We could use it for?"

"Though that’s the idea, it must be free-range, unlike the meticulous captive breeding of mulberry silkworms. If harvested, we can use it not just for making satin."

"It has very good antibacterial properties, instead of using it for outerwear, we might as well make high-quality intimate apparel, comfortable and breathable."

"Aren’t you just planning to open a ready-to-wear shop? If what we sell, both style and fabric, is the same as other shops, we won’t have much uniqueness! With this, won’t we have competitiveness?"

The eldest aunt immediately rolled up her sleeves, "I think this plan is feasible. If there aren’t many here, let’s capture some and raise them in your space. The environment in your space is good, it will surely thrive in a short time!"

However, as soon as she said this, Wang the Second groggily held his head, "What space? What is space?"

"These terrifying bugs outnumber the ones outside Nantu City now!" Wang the Second held his foggy head, dusting off the dirt on his body.

The eldest aunt pulled him over and asked, "Outside Nantu City, there are outbreaks of these? How do you know?"

Upon being asked, Wang the Second certainly had much to say.

"Oh Jun Lan, you have no idea. A couple of days ago I went out, it was to Nantu City to collect medicinal herbs, and these bugs almost scared me to death."

"They’re everywhere outside the city, the people aren’t afraid, and even call them spiritual insects, spiritual insects, frying them up to eat! Too terrifying!"

Recalling the scene, Wang the Second’s beard seemed to spring forth in shock, "Enough said, let’s get out of here quickly!"

Seeing him clutch his orchids, tiptoeing swiftly away, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but laugh.

She met the gaze of the eldest aunt, and without saying, they were already in sync.

"Aunt, in a few days, I plan to go to Tunan City, to see how the market is there. If suitable, I’ll make further plans."

"True, let Yun Xiu go with you at that time, so I can feel relieved. That boy’s grown quite a bit! Still quite the handsome young lad!"

Ruan Mian helplessly smiled, talking as they walked.

"The priority now is to first arrange the orchard, then find a suitable shop, I want my mother to lead the village’s other women to make some ready-to-wear to sell."

"The matter of oak silkworm can’t be accomplished in a short time, so let’s first use those materials from my space to make clothes."
