Chapter 83 Who’s more innocent than the other?

TN: Young Lady Ding refers to Ding Yuelan while Madame Ding refers to Ding Yuelan’s mother.
Daren - title for superiors

    Ding Yuexin wiped her tears but did not expect that her innocence would be questioned by a little girl. Fortunately, she was already prepared when she came over. She could deal with this scene: "Young lady Mu, I should have come to find my sister earlier. However, because of my sister’s actions, my parents were so angry that they fell ill, and I stayed at home to take care of them. Today, my parents’ condition is slightly stable. So, I took this opportunity to come and find her, hoping to bring my sister back and apologize to the parents and seek their forgiveness."

    Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. Ding Yuexin was pretty skilled that she cornered Ding Yuelan only in a few words. If Ding Yuelan did not go back, she would be unfilial. If she went back, the outcome would be worse: "Master and Madame Ding also fell ill? Young Lady Ding had a lot of worries in her heart in the past few days that she left home in a rage and even fell ill from it. It must be because of this matter that the old Ding couple were so distressed for her until they both fell ill from it too. The Ding couple are old, if Young Lady Ding went back, she worried that it would only aggravate their health further! Now that the Lord and Madame Ding’s health have recovered, their anger should have abated and will support their daughter’s decision."

(TN: The separation here means a divorce but since there’s no transmigrator here, and there’s no precedence of it, we can only refer to it as a separation instead of a divorce so that it fits the timeline of the story)

    Mu Yunyao's face lit up with joy. She turned back toward Jin Lan and told her: "Please go and ask Young Lady Ding to come out. Elder sister Ding said the Master and Madame Ding would support her and Xuan Fu Daren to get a separation, so that she can feel relieved now. "

    Getting a separation? When this word came out twice, the crowd suddenly exclaimed. According to the laws of Dali Dynasty, it was indeed allowed for couples to be separated. However, for so many years, there has been no precedence of a case of separation in a household. Suddenly, there was a case of separation coming out, naturally it aroused everyone’s curiosity. This official married such a wife that was incomparable to an ordinary woman, the way she demanded separation was a hundred times better than any average person. Whether it was the status between the two families or the temperament of the woman, it was necessary to clearly know everything before they dared to marry. Because once they got married, the two families were bound to each other till death. They had never heard of any official who could not stay with his wife and wanted to file for separation from the lady and her maiden family.

    Ding Yuexin was stifled, she shook her head slightly and with some teardrops falling down her face, and secretly gnashed her teeth with hatred. She clearly said that Ding Yuelan caused their mother and father to fall sick. But when the words came out from Mu Yunyao’s mouth, she distorted her words and it became the parents who worried about Ding Yuelan’s illness. This disparity was too great: "Young lady Mu, my parents did not agree with my younger sister and thus sent her away. So, it’s better to not talk about it..."

    Mu Yunyao's eyes widened, and there was a trace of fear on her face: "I also sympathise Young Lady Ding. Even I can’t bear to listen to what happened to her. I’m an outsider, but I still feel so hurt. I can only imagine that when the Lord and Madame Ding heard about what befalls their daughter, their heartache must be especially much worse. Did I guess wrong? Forgive me, my Lady. I didn't mean to offend you with my guess."

    Hearing about the separation case, everyone was curious, and when they heard the words of Mu Yunyao, suddenly all kinds of speculations surged out. The Ding family of Jingling City, although small, still has a bit of reputation and wealth. Although Ding Yuelan’s behaviour was somewhat uncommon, she was still educated as a famous boudoir. If it was not a very serious matter, Ding Yuelan would not even ask for separation and throw away their family’s face!

    Someone could not stop themselves from asking: "Young lady Mu, what happened to Lady Xuan Fu?"

     "Yeah, can young lady Mu please tell us?"

    Mu Yunyao shook her head quickly: "In the end, it’s a family matter. And I’m an outsider so I can’t talk too much about it. Jin Lan, go and invite Young Lady Ding out."

     "Yes, Miss."

    Everyone continuously fixed their gaze in the direction of Niyunfang’s interior, ignoring the frail Ding Yuexin, who was still at the doorway.

    Soon everyone burst in exclamation!

    One only saw the two maids, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who escorted Ding Yuelan to walk downstairs. Ding Yuelan was wearing a white suede dress with no decoration on the dress. The white dress was flawless and made her look even more delicate than Ding Yuexin. Her hair was loosely hanging down, and she did not wear any jewellery, while she slowly stepped down the stairs and lastly, she stood firm, the whole person looked haggard and weak: "Sister, I didn't expect you would come to see me..."

    When she opened her mouth, her eyes were quickly filled with tears, and a slightly hoarse voice struck pity in everyone’s heart.

    "This... what happened to Lady Xuan Fu?" Usually, everyone was used to seeing her wearing bright-coloured clothes and valiantly riding her horse everywhere, without care and worries. Now witnessing her appearance looking so weak made people feel so shocked. What kind of grievance had she suffered to become like this? At first, when they heard Ding Yuelan was mad at her parents and left home in a rage, everyone thought that she was not sensible and unfilial. But now she looked so haggard and weak, they felt that she had other bottled feelings. After all, to be able to change a person, who was usually so unrestrained, she must have suffered greatly.


     Ding Yuelan lightly curtsied to everyone: "Thank you for your concern. Although the official document of separation has not yet been finalised, I already have no relationship with Xuan Fu Daren. What happened is already in the past and I don’t want to mention them again. Older sister, I’m not filial, not only I provoked my parents and made them worried about me, but I also let Ding family lose face. Can older sister please go back and tell our parents that I will never go back to the Ding family ever again. Just ask the parents to treat me as if they’ve never given birth to this unfilial daughter.”


     Ding Yuexin almost lost control of her expression. She had thought about thousands of possibilities but she still did not expect that this usually foolish person suddenly acquired a brain. The corner of her eyes could not help but sweep to Mu Yunyao. Was it her idea to help Ding Yuelan? Could a thirteen-year-old girl have such a scheming mind?

    "Sister, Xuan Fu Daren was very good to you. He always indulged you and let you do whatever you want to do. However, with a mere light slap in the face, how can you be so angry and demanded a separation?"

    Because of a slap? When they heard this, everyone was puzzled. It was inevitable that there would be contradictions between a couple. There were not a few who would argue and get beaten even harder. But if it was only because of a slap in the face, it would truly be too ignorant of her to just request a separation.

    Mu Yunyao blinked and watched at Ding Yuexin with surprise. Her face was full of indignation: "Madame, you actually knew Zhou had slapped her? Why didn’t you say it before? In this situation, he even dared to do it, really... Lady Tongzhi, do you actually know why did Young Lady Ding and Xuan Fu Daren want to get a separation?"

     "I heard some of them."

    "Then how can you say it so casually?" Mu Yunyao’s face was full of righteousness and indignation. "Although I’m an outsider, I can’t bear to hear all those reasons and felt very angry. You are the older sister of Young Lady Ding. Don’t you feel angry?"

    "Young lady Mu, you have not yet married. You don’t understand the things between husband and wife. An ordinary couples’ argument is not the same as the argument between a husband and wife. If it’s only an ordinary quarrel, it’s not good to involve both sides of the families. It’s really too much to cause a fuss about it." Ding Yuexin was delicate and her voice was mellow, bearing the appearance of a good sister. Her words sound reasonable and hence many people around nodded in agreement.

    Mu Yunyao voiced out her doubts on the overall situation: "Lady Tongzhi, you really know why Young Lady Ding wants to propose a separation?”
