Chapter 269: Testify

It was a while, but when he was about to say that, Yuan took advantage of the fact that his mother was unprepared and rushed to the cylinder in the flower hall and ran into it.

Chu Xinyu wanted to pounce on him and stop him, and his eyes widened in shock.

Someone screamed in the hall.

Chu Xinyu thought Yuan would splatter blood on the spot, but a figure grabbed her collar when Yuan hit the cylinder, pulled it back, and threw it on the floor.

Yuan fell four feet towards the sky.

It was Chu Xiao who stopped Yuan from hitting the pillar in time. His face was gloomy and terrible. When he saw him stern face, he felt like he was not angry and mighty. Although he didn't say anything, his chest was slight ups and downs, which made people realize that he was really angry at the sight. It seemed that Yuan had just happened to him and encountered his reverse scale.

At this time, Yuan was helped up by the old man and refused to die. She was angry and glared at Chu Xiao with red eyes. If he hadn't stopped him, Chu Xinyu would have been called a conspiracy with an outsider and forced her to die of his stepmother's bad reputation. Will the Rongguo Duke's Mansion want her a vicious wife?

Chu Xiao was not so patient. He thought that he was a virtuous sister-in-law and respected her very much, but now he knew that she had done so many things behind her back, and every thing that made the Chu family shame and affected the Chu family's reputation was no longer polite to her.

"Take her down."

When things got to this point, Yuan still didn't repent and wanted to use her death to make things difficult for others. Fortunately, she couldn't die today, otherwise Chu Xinyu would have to mourn her for three years. What a irony.

He opened a ancestral hall to divorce his wife, but he just wrote off her eldest daughter-in-law's identity from the genealogy and gave her a divorce letter. In fact, even Yuan himself didn't know that when Chu Zheng first married Yuan, he had already drafted a divorce letter.

At that time, Zhao's mother found a suicide note from Mei in Mei's makeup box, which was written by her after giving birth to her daughter.

The suicide note reads that if she had any problems and had no time to explain, Chu Zheng would definitely marry a second wife again. Her daughter was still young and she was worried about giving it to others for care. She and Yuan were like sisters and hoped that Yuan would take care of her daughter and grow up.

After handwriting identification, the suicide note was indeed written by Mei Ruochu, and Yuan was pregnant again, so Old Mrs. Chu asked them to get married.

However, the night before they got married, Chu Zheng talked to Chu Xiao and drank. That night, Chu Zheng drank too much and said a lot of things, saying that he often dreamed of Mei looking at him resentfully these days, perhaps because he was afraid that he would marry another woman and abuse her daughter.

At that time, Chu Xiao asked half-jokingly, what if his new sister-in-law really abused her niece?

Chu Zheng thought about it and replied to him: "Don't let her go."

Chu Xiao also thought he was joking: "It's no point to say anything, and then my wife is in her arms, and she will blow the pillow wind, and I won't remember anything."

Unexpectedly, Chu Zheng really asked someone to tear the ink and wrote a letter of divorce and stamped it, but there was no date. He said that this was a certificate. If the wife he married in the future did something that would damage the family reputation or abuse his children, he could divorce her.

Then he placed the divorce book in the hidden niche behind the ancestral tablet of the ancestral hall. After so many years, if it weren't for what happened today, Chu Xiao would have almost forgotten it.

Yuan was taken away by Zheng Pengyi's men. Before Yuan Feifan and his wife left, they went to the ancestral hall together. Chu Xiao ignored everyone's surprise eyes and took out the divorce letter, filled in the date, and handed it to Yuan Feifan.

Chu Xiao said that this was a divorce book that my elder brother had prepared early. If Yuan had been virtuous and kind, and had not done anything that would damage the reputation of the Chu family and had not committed serious crimes, the divorce book would always be hidden in the niche.

Yuan Feifan knew that he was not qualified to ask for his sister again. His sister's actions in the front hall had angered the Chu family. Now he didn't ask for anything, just hoped that the Chu family would not pursue his sister's greedy dowry again.

After taking the divorce letter, he thought for a moment, looked at the old lady Chu with a keen look and said, "Although my sister deserves it, her three children are innocent after all, and she is still so young..."

The couple had a fuss just now and completely offended the Chu family. The only connection between the Yuan family and the Chu family was the three siblings and sisters left. They must not have any more trouble.

...

On this side, Hao's mother came back from outside and saw that Yuan was taken into a carriage by the official officer. Fortunately, the entire street here was filled with official residences, and each residence gate was a distance away. The official officer did not attract the attention of passers-by when he arrived at the Hou's Mansion.

Yuan was taken away and no one came to watch.

Mother Hao didn't know the situation and didn't dare to catch up with these officials, so she asked the guard what was going on. The guard didn't know it, only knew that the eldest lady and Aunt Wang were captured by the officials together.

Aunt Wang was also taken away?

When Mama Hao heard this, she knew the situation was serious, so she quickly took Mama Zhao back to Qingliyuan. She saw the servant pointing at her along the way, and she felt a bad premonition.

When he stepped into Qingli Garden, he saw the second wife leading the butler to direct the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to count Yuan's things.

As soon as the maid saw her coming back, she pulled her to stand aside and told her everything.

The evidence of killing Mei is confirmed? There are also testimony from Aunt Wang and Mama Cao. She widened her eyes and suddenly felt a chaos in her mind and her whole body was trembling violently.

Mother Cao testified? She said everything?

The wife asked her to take Zhao's mother to the mansion and asked her to testify for her. The dowry of Mei's family was taken with the consent of the fifth girl, and most of the money was spent by the fifth girl.

She brought her back, but her wife was arrested by the official. What's the point?

No! She must plead for the eldest lady and ask her mother Zhao to testify, otherwise she will ask the second lady and the housekeeper to continue counting, and sooner or later she will find out something.

Hao's mother then took Zhao's mother to Anshantang without stopping, regardless of Yuqin's stop, and opened the curtain and went in.

"Old lady, our wife is wronged..."

There were only old lady Chu, third wife, and Chu Xinyu inside. They were talking to Chu Xinyu, but they were interrupted by Hao's mother's voice.

"What's the matter?" Old Mrs. Chu was very unhappy and her face was not very good.

When Chu Xinyu saw Zhao's mother behind Hao's mother, she frowned slightly, but said nothing. Since Hao's mother dared to take Zhao's mother back home, it must be targeting her.

"Old lady, Madam, she did not take the initiative to take the dowry of her ex-wife. She only took it with the consent of the fifth girl. Most of it was spent by the fifth girl over the years. She added furniture from the boudoir, and each piece was transported back from Persia. It was a huge expense. You can think about it and know it.

Also, the Luyuan of the Sixth Prince was the birthday gift that the fifth girl promised to the Sixth Prince. However, after she went to Puling Temple, the Marquis handed out the Zhangxiang Garden for her for the Sixth Prince. These mother Zhao can testify.”

After saying that, Mother Hao pulled Mother Zhao behind him out, "Explain to the old lady that the fifth girl gave the Luyuan to the sixth son."

The wife was arrested, and I don’t know what the situation is. If Zhao’s mother comes out to testify, at least the crime will be relieved.
