As the twelfth lunar month came around, Cheng Su was not only busy with her studies but also had business matters to attend to. She also had to prepare for the New Year by taking care of all the social and personal obligations, including those with various suppliers and manufacturers. Sending gifts at the end of the year had become a customary practice.
For this purpose, she discussed with the heads of various industries and finalized a variety of procurement lists. Song Xiaojang, who was in charge of general procurement, was being run ragged by her directions.
Qi Fenglian came to Cheng Su exasperated at this time, asking for leave, saying that she was mostly recovered from her illness and wanted to go back to deal with her matters with Zhang Jisheng.
Cheng Su asked, "Did he really run back home?"
"Where else could he go? I called back home to ask, and he is indeed there," Qi Fenglian said angrily. "This person is outrageous. He’s spreading rumors at home that I’m too wild outside and don’t regard him highly, so I’m making a fuss about divorcing him. And also..."
Cheng Su felt something was off and asked, "And what else?"
"And he’s also telling people that I want to divorce him because you and Taiguo are instigating it behind the scenes, trying to break up our family. What kind of person is this? How can he be so shameless?" Qi Fenglian said with hatred. "I must have been blind to marry him in the first place."
She wanted to know Zhang Jisheng’s whereabouts, so she called home. The daughter-in-law there, who was quite close with her, told her that the whole village was now gossiping about her and Zhang Jisheng wanting a divorce, and the rumors were detailed and elaborate.
This infuriated her to the point of physical pain. Clearly, it was Zhang Jisheng who was shameless, yet he dared to twist things upside down and falsely accuse them.
Cheng Su’s face darkened. "Did he really say that?"
Qi Fenglian nodded and said, "That’s why I have to go back. Otherwise, even the truth would be turned into lies by him. I can’t let him distort the facts."
