Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 165 Divorce

The two were talking in the main room when Mrs. Guo came. Seeing the wine jars scattered on the ground, she began to cry again: "It's all the evil woman Xu who has done this. My son has been in this state. My son's originally bright future has been ruined." Everything was ruined by this **** vicious woman."

With that said, she came over and pushed her son and said, "You said she has hurt you like this, why don't you divorce her quickly? What are you waiting for?"

Guo Cuiyan hurriedly came over to persuade Mrs. Guo: "Aunt, divorcing your wife is a big deal. You should let your cousin think about it clearly."

Mrs. Guo shouted: "What else is there to think about? Such a woman shouldn't divorce?"

“If my mother-in-law wants to divorce me, she must show some reason? Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

As soon as Guo finished speaking, Xu Wanning and Jing Shu walked in.

When Mrs. Guo saw Xu Wanning, she snorted coldly: "You came back just in time. You mutilated the flesh and blood of my son and concubine, which is unkind and unkind. For the sake of the good relationship between the Duke of Zhenguo and your mother's family for generations, my son can If I don’t abandon you forever, just make peace with me now.”

As he said that, he looked at Li Xian: "Go and write Heli Shu, give it to her, and let her leave my Li family as soon as possible."

Guo Cuiyan quietly took the pen and ink, pushed it to Li Xian, and whispered: "Cousin, have you thought clearly?"

Li Xian looked up at her mother, then at Guo Cuiyan, and finally said to Xu Wanning: "Mrs. Xu, we have been at odds for so many years since we were married, and now you have gone so far as to harm my concubine's flesh and blood. Since we have Fire and water are incompatible, so we might as well part ways with each other."

As he spoke, he wrote the letter of He Li in one go, signed his name on it, pressed his fingerprints, and handed it to Xu Wanning, saying: "Just sign. If you miss the children in the future, please tell someone to tell me." Ask someone to take you there, and you can see the children at any time."

Now that things have happened, Xu Wanning has calmed down. She is no longer as fussy as before. She took the letter and said to Li Xian: "It's hard for you to still have some conscience and think about your child. them."

Li Xian replied: "I know you care about the children wholeheartedly. If it weren't for the children, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to live with me."

Xu Wanning looked at Li Xian and asked, "Don't you have any responsibility when we get to where we are today? Is it all my fault?"

Li Xian replied: "I have a responsibility, but what man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Why can't you tolerate other people and my flesh and blood?"

Xu Wanning defended herself: "I told you, I didn't kill that Mei Niang. How could it be that we have been husband and wife for so many years and yet you refuse to believe me at all?"

After listening to Xu Wanning's words, Li Xian's chest heaved, and he stared at Xu Wanning with red eyes and asked: "Who else can there be except you? You are the only one in these families who regards her as a thorn in the side. Did you see that I moved and kept her?" I’m thinking too hard about it, so I won’t let her go, right?”

Seeing that Li Xian was insisting on this matter, Jing Shu stepped forward and said, "Brother, how did Mei Niang die? Let's interrogate the people who served her and we will know."

Li Xian sneered and said, "Haven't everyone in Chenxi Pavilion tried it? They all said they don't know."

Jing Shu replied: "There is only one person who knows about this, and that is Mei Niang's personal maid, Xiao Hong."

Li Xian wondered: "Didn't that little girl take advantage of the chaos and escape on the day Mei Niang was buried?"

Jingshu replied: "The fact that she ran away shows that there is something fishy about the matter."

Li Xiandao: "What's weird? She just said that Mei Niang died after eating the mooncakes distributed by Xu's order, and she was afraid that Xu would not let her go."

Jing Shu said: "I have captured Xiao Hong. What is going on? I will know if I interrogate him personally."

When Guo Cuiyan heard that Xiaohong had been captured by Jingshu again, she secretly screamed in her heart that something was wrong. When she and Mei Niang set up this poisonous plot to frame her, Xiaohong knew about it. Besides, the packet of poison given to Mei Niang was probably not good for this girl. Also informed.

On the day Mei Niang was buried, she originally wanted to kill Xiao Hong without anyone noticing, so that people would mistakenly think that she was a loyal martyr, but she didn't want the ghost girl to run away.

Now that the only person who knew the inside story was captured by Jing Shu again, how could Guo Cuiyan not panic? Guo Cuiyan stepped forward and said: "That girl has been running away for several days. Who knows what she has experienced outside. Maybe she was bribed or threatened. It is also possible. Her words cannot be trusted."

Jingshu glanced at Guo Cuiyan and said calmly: "Cousin, our Li family is discussing family matters, please stay away."

 Guo Cuiyan's face turned blue and white in shock at Jing Shu's fluttering words, but the matter was so important that she was not willing to leave. Guo Cuiyan quietly stood behind Mr. Guo, and had to wait in fear to interrogate Xiao Hong.

Jingshu told the steward outside the door: "Go and bring Xiaohong up."

After a while, Xiao Hong was brought up. Li Xian glanced at Xiao Hong and asked, "Xiao Hong, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. Just tell me how Aunt Mei died." of?"

Xiaohong lowered her head, but did not dare to say a word.

Li Xian lost his patience and asked sharply: "What's going on? Speak!"

Xiaohong was so frightened that she raised her head. Guo Cuiyan stood behind Guo, glaring at her like a knife. Xiaohong glanced at Xu Wanning quietly again, with also sharp eyes.

Guo Cuiyan is Guo's niece, and she has Guo's support behind her. If she tells the truth, Guo Cuiyan will be kicked out of the house at worst, but Guo will not let her go. If she continues to frame Xu Wanning, Li Xianzhen can divorce her. Fortunately, if divorce fails, then Xu Wanning cannot let her go.

Although Xiaohong is a maid, she is a shrewd person. She looked at Li Xian and cried: "To be honest, I still hope that the uncle can let me go."

Li Xian agreed: "Just tell me, I promise you."

Xiaohong said: "Aunt Mei wanted to stay in the house, so she took a dangerous step and wanted to knock out the child in her belly and frame it for the eldest lady."

Li Xian said sharply: "Are you serious about what you said?"

Xiaohong pointed to the sky and swore: "Everything I said is true."

Jingshu asked: "According to the test, what Aunt Mei took was arsenic, but it was not an abortion medicine. Why is this?"

Xiao Hong hesitated and said: "This servant doesn't know. Aunt Mei got the medicine herself, and I really don't know about it."

Jingshu asked: "Who in the mansion has Aunt Mei been in close contact with lately?"

Hearing what Jing Shu said, Guo Cuiyan's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She stroked her pounding heart and winked at Xiao Hong as if she was wiping her neck with murder.

Xiaohong glanced at Guo Cuiyan quietly. She was not stupid. She knew that confessing Guo Cuiyan would not do her any good, so she insisted: "My aunt has no contact with anyone in the house."

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly: "That's it, where did this medicine come from? If she wants to abort the child and frame Xu, she can just take the abortion pill. Why take arsenic? Isn't it just looking for ideas? Humph? ! I saw that the girl was clearly afraid of Mrs. Xu, so she started talking nonsense, "This charming girl was killed by Mrs. Xu."

Mrs. Guo glared at her son: "Why are you so foolish as to interrogate me here? This girl has been bribed by others long ago, so she is treating you like a fool here."

After hearing what Guo said, Xu Wanning hurriedly shouted to Xiaohong, "Where did this medicine come from? Tell me clearly. If you dare to be perfunctory like this again, I'll beat you to death!"

As soon as Xu Wanning finished speaking, Guo Cuiyan said leisurely: "Cousin, if you threaten this girl like this, how can she dare to tell the truth?"
