Yu Ruiwen came back with a serious face. Hearing that Mrs. Qian had been waiting for her, Yu Ruiwen met Mrs. Qian in a flower hall in the outer courtyard.
Seeing Mrs. Qian walking in tremblingly, her face as pale as snow, Yu Ruiwen's heart skipped a beat, but her feet seemed to be stiff, unable to move.
After both parties have seen the ceremony, they each sit down.
Yu Ruiwen asked the servant to bring tea, and then looked at Mrs. Qian with a serious look: "Old Madam, I want to divorce my wife."
Madam Qian just held the teacup with her hand. She was startled and the tea spilled out. She almost knocked over the cup in pain. She hurriedly used a handkerchief to cover the water stains, and her face became even more ugly.
I guessed that Yu Ruiwen was a loser, but I didn't expect that he was really merciless.
"Marquis Xuanping, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." Mrs. Qian calmed down and said, "I'm afraid there is something mysterious about this matter... and what Li Zhen said may not be true."
"Why did she tell lies?" Yu Ruiwen held his forehead with his hands and looked very troubled.
"Lizhen is a spoiled child. She was raised in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion since she was a child. She has been extremely selfish since she was a child. She wants what she wants. If she doesn't get it, she will make trouble. No matter how ugly the trouble is, she still won't listen to advice. She has such a petty temper.
I beat her when she was young, but in the end I still couldn't let her go, and it only made her temper even bigger."
Mrs. Qian sighed and blamed herself.
"When the three girls in the family returned to Beijing, something happened to Li Zhen. After that, you didn't let her come over, and the child started to make trouble again. Now today... I don't know where her cousin and aunt offended her again. They actually announced
It's such a waste of words in front of the Pinghou Mansion, I want to find her here, but Kang Bo Mansion said that she is sick and can't get out of bed."
"Are you sick when you go back?" Yu Ruiwen twitched the corners of his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes.
"That's what he said. He said he couldn't get out of bed. He was clearly hiding from me on purpose. This child is unfilial. Not only did he not take his aunt seriously, he also didn't take me as an old woman seriously. Now that something has happened, he is hiding again.
Come on, her aunt's hard work for so many years has been wasted."
Mrs. Qian was in tears as she spoke.
He hurriedly touched the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Hou Xuanping, don't worry, I will go to Xin Kangbo Mansion to ask for justice. Even if I go there in person, I still have to ask this girl why she is so cruel. Her
Who taught her to say these words? How could she... be so stupid!"
"Mrs. Prince Xinkang has always had a vengeful character since she was a child. So what happened to Jiao'er before is also true?" Yu Ruiwen did not directly respond to the matter and asked instead.
Mrs. Qian was suffocated and only focused on explaining the current situation. She forgot that Qian Lizhen had indeed harmed Yu Xijiao before, but everyone explained it vaguely at that time.
"This child has soft ears and easily listens to other people's words." Mrs. Qian said vaguely.
"I don't know the difference between right and wrong, and I'm so unyielding. No wonder I harmed Jiao'er again and again before. I understand what Mrs. Qian meant. All this was done by Qian Lizhen behind the scenes, and now she has hid in Xin Kangbo
"The old lady is not in good health, and now she is old. How can she withstand such a torment? Why don't I go directly to Xin Kangbo Mansion and ask for it personally."
Yu Ruiwen said with a bad expression.
After saying that, he stood up, almost unable to stay for a moment.
"Marquis Xuanping, wait a moment." Seeing that he was really about to leave, Mrs. Qian became anxious and stood up to stop him.
"What's wrong with this?" Yu Ruiwen asked in a deep voice.
"This... is not good after all. The Xinkang Bo Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will probably look ugly." Mrs. Qian said.
"The Xuanping Marquis Mansion doesn't matter, how can the Xinkang Bo Mansion be uglier? They haven't done anything good anyway." Yu Ruiwen snorted disapprovingly.
"But now... the matter hasn't been clarified yet. I'll wait until I ask. If it turns out to be the case, I'll ask Marquis Xuanping to come and ask for justice."
Mrs. Qian coughed and stopped her. Seeing that Yu Ruiwen was really going to come to make trouble, it would be okay. With Yu Ruiwen's temper, Qian Lizhen would not be able to get her off, so if she didn't say anything, the daughter's virginity might also be implemented.
"Mrs. Qian also feels that she hasn't asked clearly yet, so it's possible that what she said is true. Qian did indeed do such heinous things at that time."
Yu Ruiwen looked at Mrs. Qian coldly, her face gloomy, and she was very impatient.
Again, the old lady's words were directed at herself.
Mrs. Qian also sensed the deep hostility in Yu Ruiwen's words, and sighed again: "Children are all debts. If there is even one ten thousandth chance, I still hope that they will all be well. Please declare
Pinghou opened the net and let me investigate thoroughly."
Yu Ruiwen fell silent, lowered his head silently, and said nothing.
Mrs. Qian didn't urge her, she just looked at Yu Ruiwen quietly and pleadingly. The breakthrough in this matter was Yu Ruiwen.
"Old madam, what should I do if this is really done by Qian?" Yu Ruiwen finally spoke again, just after his mother was severely scolded, Yu Ruiwen was also angry, annoyed, regretful and guilty.
Yes, he felt very regretful and guilty. To him, what Qian Lizhen said was true.
She originally thought she had forgotten some of the past events, but unexpectedly she kept them in her heart.
By comparison, at least most of what Qian Lizhen said is true.
"Xuanping Hou, I understand that my daughter, Lao Shen, may have been selfish in the past, but she would never do such heinous things. If she is really so vicious, I will treat her as if I don't have a daughter.
It's just that Xi'er is pitiful. She has been involved in such a thing before she got married. What will happen to her when she enters Prince Duan's Mansion? What can she do? I'm afraid even a small concubine can step on her head. She... this is still
Let her live how she wants!"
Mrs. Qian's eyes were red, she lowered her head and wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.
Yu Ruiwen's heart was also torn hard. The second daughter was going to marry into Prince Duan's palace. Her mother had just reminded her of this. The disputes in the inner courtyard of the palace were much more serious than those in her own house. Many things in her family were not going smoothly.
What will happen to the second daughter in the future?
He was angry with Mrs. Qian, but he really couldn't ignore his second daughter.
He couldn't help but breathe a little faster, and he clenched his fists hard. With his daughter on both sides, he felt indebted to both sides, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Old Madam, Mrs. Qian... I can go on forever." She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "But I can't ignore the injustice Xi'er has suffered. Whether it's Mrs. Qian or Qian Lizhen,
After all, they are the ones who want to kill Xi'er, and not just once. I will not tolerate it this time, and Qian will be banned in the backyard forever."
Yu Ruiwen said the last few words almost word for word. What her mother said was indeed true. After all, she could not bear the suffering of her second daughter. In the backyard of Prince Rui's Mansion, whether she was a concubine, a concubine, or even a concubine, her status was extraordinary.
If Qian is divorced, this will be a stain on Yu Yuxi's life.
Yu Ruiwen went to ask about An and the eldest princess. An and the eldest princess asked him to make his own decision. After all, this was a matter for his two daughters. He could not be asked to abandon one daughter for the other. He would regret it in the future, and even
I felt I was wrong at the time.
After settling some matters, and seeing that the other person is not doing well or even being bullied, how can any father be able to remain calm? What's more, Yu Ruiwen himself has an indecisive temperament. An He
The eldest princess asked him to ask his true heart and ask himself, can he really give up his second daughter?
Yu Ruiwen kept thinking about this all the way back. He couldn't let go of his second daughter. It was Qian who did the wrong thing. How could he let go of his second daughter.
However, punishing the Qian family will affect the second daughter's future situation. The fight in Prince Duan's Mansion is stronger than that of Xuanping Hou, and the second daughter has no advantage.
But if Qian was not punished and her youngest daughter almost died in Qian's hands, how could she not feel aggrieved and she couldn't forgive her.
With his second daughter on one side and his youngest daughter on the other, Yu Ruiwen couldn't bear to let go of both.
"Marquis Xuanping..." Mrs. Qian was shocked. She originally thought that this matter would be over, but she didn't expect Yu Ruiwen to say such words, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Of course there is more to this than what is heard on the surface.
"Qian is locked up in the courtyard and cannot come out unless she is killed. Even if Xi'er marries into Prince Duan's palace in the future, even if Xi'er..." Yu Ruiwen said in a deep voice, every word fell on Mrs. Qian's heart.
Mrs. Qian opened her mouth, but found that she could not say a word. She only felt her head was buzzing. She guessed that Yu Duanwen would be careless and bent on divorcing her daughter. She also guessed that An and the eldest princess would not be together.
My favorite daughter, taking advantage of this opportunity, will definitely agree with Yu Ruiwen's wishes.
She then asked Yu Yuxi to seek help from King Duan. As long as King Duan entered the palace and told the Queen about it, the Queen would definitely understand what Yu Ruiwen meant and would send someone to suppress Yu Ruiwen's idea of divorcing his wife. In the end, the matter would remain silent.
If the matter is suppressed, since Marquis Xuanping will not pursue the case, all the rumors outside will eventually fade away.
As for her granddaughter, she will definitely have to teach her a lesson if she has the chance, and she will also be made to admit that she was forced to say what she said. As for which person she was forced to say, just find a suitable candidate when the time comes, and the best candidate is Yu Xijiao
and Zhou.
If there is no investigation, and with Qian Lizhen's testimony, the charges against her daughter are almost completely cleared. Even if some people don't believe it, it doesn't hurt. As for Yu Xijiao who takes the blame, it is still the Zhou family.
Not pursuing it specifically would show generosity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it would make the two of them indefensible.
Indirect testimony is the most difficult to defend.
From Mrs. Qian's point of view, what is missing now is a soothing process, and she has arranged this process, but Yu Ruiwen is now blunt about her treatment of Qian, and he also needs to get a formal reply from her.
As long as she agrees, seeing her daughter will be the time between life and death.
Even with Mrs. Qian's plan, her lips trembled and she almost stood up...
