Chapter 75 The Old Lady Dies

The reason why Qin Mingzhu came here was because she heard that Yan Qingjiao ran out of the yard.

She waved her hand, and people immediately rushed over and held Yan Qingjiao down.

Yan Qingjiao struggled desperately and looked at Qin Mingzhu in disbelief.

"Qin Mingzhu, what are you going to do..."

Before she could finish, Qin Mingzhu said, "Take the third young lady back to the courtyard."

"How dare you! Let me go! Someone, someone's going to kill someone!"

Yan Qingjiao's voice was almost hoarse.

Old Madam Yan inside was naturally alarmed as well.

She lay on the bed, groaning, and tried to get up anxiously, but soon there was a plop.

She fell directly off the bed to the ground.

Yan Qingjiao calmed down and looked towards the room: "Mom, I'm here, please take care of Qin Mingzhu, she wants to harm me!"

But she shouted for a long time and there was no sound from inside.

A moment later, a maid ran out of the room in a panic and bowed to Qin Mingzhu with a nervous look.

"Madam, the old lady just fell down and seems to be dying. I will go and get the palace doctor right away..."

Qin Mingzhu was stunned.

Her eyes flickered and she strode into the room.

The two maids wanted to drag Yan Qingjiao away, but at this moment Yan Qingjiao struggled even harder.

"Mom, something happened to my mom, mom!"

Her eyes were really red, and she struggled with all her might, even biting one of the men's hands.

The nanny felt pain and had to let go of her hand, and Yan Qingjiao rushed into the room directly.

In the room, two maids tried to help the old lady up.

But the old lady was so severely paralyzed that she lay on the ground without any strength to use and could not struggle.

When Yan Qingjiao saw this scene, her eyes widened immediately.

She rushed over to the old lady and shook her shoulders with her hand.

"Mom, how did you become like this..."

Her voice was filled with tears.

Her mother was apparently very strong before, and even angry with her. How could she be so angry after just a short absence...

Someone must have harmed her!

Thinking of this, Yan Qingjiao turned around and glared at Qin Mingzhu.

Seeing this, someone nearby whispered, "Miss Third, please stop shaking! If you continue shaking, the old lady will be shaken to death!"

Yan Qingjiao seemed to react at this moment, and she quickly let go.

"Mom, I was too anxious just now. Are you okay? You must be okay..."

Qin Mingzhu stood at the door and glanced at Madam Yan with lowered eyes.

Before she could say anything, Yan Qingjiao shouted loudly with red eyes.

"Qin Mingzhu, is this how you take care of my mother? When my mother gets better, I will definitely divorce you!"

Qin Mingzhu paused for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "Since you're all here, I'll just say it straight away."

She took out the divorce papers from her bosom and handed them to Chunhua beside her.

The spring flowers unfolded and were placed in front of Yan Qingjiao and the old lady.

"This is the divorce agreement between Yan Qinghao and me. I've almost finished packing my things. I'll be moving out of the mansion with the children tonight."

Yan Qingjiao just threatened to divorce Qin Mingzhu...

But when she and Old Madam Yan actually saw the divorce letter, they were all stunned.

Yan Qingjiao didn't react for a long time. She widened her eyes and turned to look at Qin Mingzhu in disbelief.

"This must be fake, my eldest brother has already passed away..."

"He came back not long ago and is now imprisoned in the Sky Prison."

Qin Mingzhu smiled as she looked at Yan Qingjiao, who had her mouth wide open in surprise.

"Your elder brother is still alive, isn't that good news? But it won't be long before he dies, and perhaps he'll drag you down with him. It's the crime of deceiving the emperor, treason, betrayal, tsk tsk..."

If things go wrong, the entire family will be exterminated. Fortunately, I have already divorced him, and the divorce agreement clearly states that the child will no longer have any ties with him. My parents only have me as their daughter, so from now on, the child will change her surname to Qin..."

The more Qin Mingzhu spoke, the quieter the room became.

Yan Qingjiao's breathing became much heavier.

She was so frightened by the crime of deceiving the emperor that her eyes were filled with tears.

"How could my eldest brother be arrested? Didn't he die on the battlefield as a hero? Mother, tell Jiao'er that she must be lying to me. My eldest brother is definitely not a sinner!"

Madam Yan's face was also filled with anxiety.

"Heh...heh..." The uneven breathing sound came out of the old lady's nostrils.

Before, she didn't believe a word Qin Mingzhu said. However, today, when Qin Mingzhu placed the divorce agreement in front of her, she believed it...

The so-called divorce agreement was clearly the escape route Qin Mingzhu prepared for herself!

How could Haoer possibly sign something like this!

Qin Mingzhu didn't care about the tolerance of the two people in front of her.

"This is something I brought back from Yan Qinghao. I can give it to you as a relic."

As she spoke, she threw a jade pendant that belonged to Yan Qinghao and that she had brought back from the prison not long ago onto Yan Qingjiao.

Yan Qingjiao quickly took it.

After seeing the jade pendant, she couldn't stop trembling all over.

Tears fell like a clatter. "Mom, this... is really Big Brother's personal belonging. I recognize this jade pendant. There's a scratch on it. I accidentally made it there before..."

Identity confirmation.

It is certain that what Qin Mingzhu said is true.

This caused a great shock to the old lady who was already in poor health.

My son has returned, but he hasn't appeared in front of me yet.

So he must be in the Heavenly Prison.

If no news of this had spread in the capital, it could only mean one thing...

That is, the emperor does not intend to let her son go!

If we were to investigate this matter thoroughly, it would definitely cause a big uproar, at least not as quiet as it is now.

Her son's life is over!

After all, Old Madam Yan was old and had a very clear understanding of some things. She held Yan Qingjiao's hand tightly, and finally managed to say a complete sentence with trembling lips.

"Go save...save your elder brother..."

Yan Qingjiao felt that her arms were hurt by the old lady's grip.

But she couldn't care less.

"Mom, what did you say? Speak clearly!"

Old Madam Yan spoke.

But I can't hear clearly...

Madam Yan thought she had spoken it, but the sound that came out of her mouth was very unclear.

"Save...your brother..."

"Mom, say it again..."

Madam Yan: “…”

She opened her eyes wide, clutched Yan Qingjiao's sleeve tightly, and opened and closed her mouth.

But in the end, nothing could be said.

The next moment, it was as if all the strength in her body had drained away. Her hand that was gripping Yan Qingjiao's sleeve completely loosened and fell to the ground...

Feeling Madam Yan's body go limp in her arms, Yan Qingjiao's eyes widened and she screamed loudly.

"Mom! Mom, open your eyes, Mom, wake up..."

The little maidservant next to her came over nervously and carefully felt the old lady's breath.

The next moment, she said in a trembling voice: "The old lady...she is dead..."
