Tang Qiu willed away her humiliation. “I won’t divorce him. His legs are injured and will recover soon. He can get surgery for his scars in the future. No one has ever been as kind to me as him. No matter what happens, I’m willing to shoulder it with him.”

Madam Tang stabbed a finger at her. “He’s a cripple. He can’t even take care of himself, so how well can he possibly treat you?”

“How well? When I was bullied, he was the only person who felt sorry for me and asked me if it hurt. That’s enough! I’ve never been loved before–what else could I ask for?” Tang Qiu nearly broke into laughter.

Madam Tang’s face darkened. “So you think I don’t care about you, just because I hit and embarrassed you? Have you lost your brains from studying? How could you snatch a crippled and ugly man from your sister? Have you no conscience?”

“I didn’t steal him from anyone. Why do you always treat me like this? You’d take the word of outsiders over your own family?” The words tore from somewhere deep in Tang Qiu’s heart.

“Because I know what boundaries are. Who do you think you are? You’re a bastard child. What right do you have to marry a rich man? You just couldn’t be content with your lot in life.

Tang Qiu bit her lip and lifted her eyes, not wanting to cry. It was her own flesh and blood saying those words to her. Someone gripped her hand, and she glanced at her husband. His hand covered hers, the warmth of his touch reaching her heart and soothing her slowly.

Jiang Shaocheng looked up at the old lady again. “She married me. She’s my wife, now and always. It doesn’t matter what you think!”

“You’re so arrogant!” Madam Tang spat, expression cold. She glared at Tang Qiu. “If you won’t divorce him, we’re no longer family! I’m doing this for your own good, Qiu. Divorce him. This man can’t give you happiness at all. You should find a healthy man to spend your life with.”

Tang Qiu’s eyes turned red again at the harsh words. Weakness seized her, stealing her words. Back then, her grandmother had abandoned her to the Feng family so she could have a better life, then told her to repress her emotions and tolerate their bullying. Now, she was forcing Tang Qiu to get a divorce just because of what some outsiders had said.

Pain lanced through Jiang Shaocheng’s heart when he saw her cry. He reached out to wipe her tears away and looked at the old lady. “Do you think you have the right to demand that you both cut ties?”
