Jiang's face turned red with anger, and her hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly. She said, "Do you think you have paved a golden road for your son? Old lady, your son's official career was indeed smooth before, but he was always worried and worried that the evil things you did would be exposed. He is your son, but you don't know him. He is upright and open-minded. He is more willing to be an official with his own strength and is more willing to take one step at a time. You said it in a high-sounding way, all for your son. In fact, you did it for yourself, so that you can live a good life. "You want to make your son a better life, and you don't hesitate to ruin Wang Juanniang, don't hesitate to let your son bear a bad reputation, and even want to ruin your own granddaughter... Indeed, marrying your son is the greatest blessing in my life. I like your talent, handsomeness, and noble character. However, I hope he can live a happy and relaxed life, without so much helplessness and helplessness in his heart. If he lives a happy life, I would rather I didn't marry her. Now, he has been suspended and may even face imprisonment, but he is still unwilling to say that you did those evil things, and he actually took it on himself... He, he is so stupid!"

As she said this, Jiang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started crying.

When the old lady heard that her son was going to face jail for taking the blame for her, she was so scared that she trembled. She yelled, "Those things were caused by that damn girl Chen Afu. She hated me and our family, so she took her anger out on my son and dug up the past ten years. She wanted to destroy our family! It was all because of that evil woman Wang Juanniang. She looked so honest, but how could she secretly have an affair with my son and give birth to a bastard? That bastard was so unfilial, he harmed my grandmother and my father..."

Jiang wiped her tears and shouted, "Old lady, please be more polite when you speak. Wang Juanniang was originally your son's first wife. It is a human relationship for them to have a child. It is not as dirty as you say. It is you, old lady, who destroyed our family. Don't push your sins onto others. Now, Fu'er and the eldest son-in-law are using their connections to ask for favors, hoping to help your son clear his name. But you still insult her like this! If it weren't for Fu'er, your son, and our family would be completely finished."

The old lady was even more frightened. She straightened up all of a sudden, her cloudy eyes widened, and she shouted, "That damn girl helped my son clear his name. She won't take the opportunity to push me out to jail, right? No, you go and tell her not only to rescue my son intact, but also not to push me out. If she dares to go against her conscience and murder her own grandmother, God will not let her go."

Jiang had never seen such a selfish mother. Whenever her son was in trouble, the mother's first reaction should be to sacrifice herself to save her son. But this mother, her son admitted her crime for the sake of filial piety, but she wanted to save herself the most. She scolded Chen Afu and her daughter so badly, but she wanted Chen Afu to save her so confidently.

Jiang didn't want to talk to the old lady anymore. She felt sick even looking at her. This person was her mother-in-law after all. It shouldn't be her who should punish her. She shook her head and said in a deep voice, "God didn't even take you away. It has no eyes at all. However, people always have eyes. Old lady, it's not that I won't take revenge. It's just that the time has not come yet." Then she turned around and walked out.

Chen Yuhui followed Jiang out and cried, "Mother, something happened to my father. Will my marriage with the He family change? If so, what should I do!"

Jiang turned around and said coldly, "How should I know what you should do? You were the one who jumped into the lake, and you were the one who led the man to save you." Seeing Chen Yuhui's blank face that looked like an old lady, Jiang frowned and said, "Go back to your own yard and copy the "Legal Admonitions" fifty times. Don't show up again and don't cause trouble again."

When Chen Yuhui saw Jiang's cold gaze, his heart skipped a beat and he turned around and walked quickly towards his yard.

She felt like the sky was about to fall. She would be sixteen next year. If something happened to her father and the He family broke off the engagement again, which good family would want a woman like her who had broken off the engagement twice?

It was all because of the hateful Chen Afu and vicious Jiang that they ruined her great marriage and put her in this embarrassing situation... Grandmother was right, God has eyes and will not let her go, including her.

Jiang asked someone to find out who had passed the message to Chen Yuhui. It was soon discovered that it was a woman who had received five taels of silver from Chen Yuhui and told her the news she had heard on the streets. Jiang originally wanted to have the woman beaten half to death and sold, but thinking of her husband's uncertain future, she thought she should accumulate blessings for him, so she had him sold directly.

The days of waiting were the longest. The Chen family closed their doors tightly, and the whole family, young and old, endured the days in anxiety.

Chu Lingxuan returned seven days later, which was on the twenty-third day of the winter month.

Chen Ahfu had finished washing up and was about to lead Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er into the space. The two children also knew that their mother would take them to the most comfortable place at this time to play with their favorite brother Jinbao and their favorite sister Jinbei, and they all shouted "ah, oh, uh" at Chen Ahfu.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of a girl in the yard, "Master is back."

Chen Afu was delighted and went out to greet him, but Chu Lingxuan had already strode in.

Chu Lingxuan had lost weight, and his beard had grown out. His face was pale, and he looked like he had been traveling day and night. Chen Ahfu felt very distressed. Since Chen Shiying's accident, he had been running outside almost every day.

She personally took off Chu Lingxuan's outer clothes and he went to the clean room to bathe.

Chen Afu originally wanted to go to the small kitchen to make Chu Lingxuan's favorite chicken sauce wontons, but the two children burst into tears out of grievance, so Chen Afu had to hold them and feed them again.

After coaxing the child, Chen Afu sent the maid away and wiped Chu Lingxuan's hair.

Chu Lingxuan explained Chen Shiying's story. Because Chen Shiying was the biological father of Xiaoyi's adoptive mother, he was talented and had made great contributions to the court, and the emperor did not want to punish him severely.

However, many censors and officials impeached him, and Chen Shiying's real evidence forced the emperor to suspend him. Because he was not convicted, and Luo Xunfu's memorials strongly protected him, as well as many important officials' strong support for him, Chen Shiying was not detained, but was only placed under house arrest in a small courtyard, guarded by the imperial guards. He was given food and drink, and could go out for some fresh air.

Among the five charges against Chen Shiying, the third charge of "condoning the Zhao clan members to bully the neighbors" has been proven to have nothing to do with him. He also upheld justice and returned the land that the Zhao clan members had occupied.

The first charge of "divorcing his wife after passing the imperial examination and remarrying" was not true because when he married, Wang had already married someone else for the sake of her unborn child. It was also proven that the "divorcing his wife" was done by Chen's mother, and Chen Shiying was not aware of it.
