Chapter 42: If I don't cheat her, I'll be sorry for the blame she took

Zhao Fendie knelt on the ground and slowly raised her head. All the blood in her body seemed to be drained away. Her body was stiff and her dilated pupils revealed a look of disbelief.

"Grandma, what did you say?"

Zhao Fendie felt a chill in her heart, with only a tiny bit of hope left in her heart, hoping that her grandmother was just speaking in anger.

Seeing that her trump card worked, Old Lady Zhao repeated, "Either you return to the Ji family and kneel down to admit your mistakes to your parents-in-law and husband, or you get expelled from the Zhao family."

As a lady in the harem, the most important thing is to be respectful.

After marriage, obey your husband and be filial to your elders.

Zhao Fendie failed to do even these basic things.

"The Ji family didn't divorce you and you went home because they were saving the Zhao family's reputation. You can't give birth to the Ji family. If the Ji family is extinct, wouldn't you be a sinner?"

Every word that Old Mrs. Zhao said was like a knife stabbing Zhao Fendie's heart.

Zhao Fendie turned around and asked, "Mom, do you think so too?"

As a daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Fendie was spoiled when she grew up, and no one ever said a harsh word to her.

Zhao Fendie's mother, He, sighed and lowered her voice and said, "Fendie, listen to your grandmother. I'm an experienced person, and besides... you still have a younger brother."

I can't bear the anger for the time being and want a divorce, but what happens after the divorce?

Once Mrs. Zhao has spoken, there is absolutely no possibility of changing her words.

Zhao Fendie raised her head, with no sadness or despair in her eyes. She had a faint smile on her face: "Mrs. Zhao, what else do you need to take back after being expelled from the clan?"

"Of course I will take them all back. As for the things that the tribe gave you, keep them all because you don't deserve them."

Old Mrs. Zhao frowned and stared at Zhao Fendie indifferently.

Zhao Fendie nodded and turned to look at the maids: "Do you choose to stay in the Zhao family, or come with me?"

The maids took a step back and moved away from Zhao Fendie.

This scene was extremely cruel, and he was deserted by everyone.

Zhao Fendie stood up and swayed.

Jiang Yuzhu hurried to support her, feeling sorry for her good sister.

In Da Qi, women were considered appendages of men. They never had any status and it was even harder for them to live out their true selves.

"I don't want the Zhao family's stuff. I'll find time to send it to you. But the Zhao family is using me to benefit the Ji family, so shouldn't I give them some hard-earned money?"

Zhao Fendie straightened her back and took a deep breath.

After saying this, she bowed to He and said, "Mother, thank you for your years of raising me, but we are not destined to be together."

After Zhao Fendie finished speaking, she left without looking back, taking every step steadily.

Upon seeing this, Chen was very disappointed with He's performance and lamented that it was like a hopeless case.

"Is your own daughter, the flesh and blood you carried for ten months, worthy of being treated so badly?"

What is the point of considering my son? I really don't understand!

"You, the Zhao family, mistook pearls for fish eyes. Sooner or later, you will regret it!"

After saying that, Chen was too lazy to argue with the Zhao family and quickened her pace.

At the door, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly turned around and smiled: "Mrs. Zhao, I wish you a long life!"

This smile was quite charming, and everyone in the Zhao family was frightened.

Veins popped out on Mrs. Zhao's forehead as she angrily said, "How ridiculous! This is a curse, a curse!"

The Jiang family is lawless, she wants to go to the palace to file a complaint!

The rest of the Zhao family remained silent. Although they agreed with the old lady's words, they could not find any fault with Jiang Yuzhu!

After leaving Zhao's house, Zhao Fendie's body tilted and she fainted immediately.

Jiang Yuzhu and her mother Chen discussed and decided to send Zhao Fendie to the Jiang family's villa for recuperation.

Jiang Yuzhu had just asked the cook to make some nourishing soup when Hongli came running over to deliver a message: "Haha, look at this!"

After saying that, Hongli took out a portrait.

Jiang Yuzhu was drinking tea and spat out a mouthful of tea. She quickly touched the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled, "Who is so talented?"

In Ji Chengyun's portrait, only his head is big, and the proportions of his body are extremely disproportionate.

The face in the portrait is divided into area markings, and a small popular science lesson about traditional Chinese medicine is provided.

The book says: Eyes are dull and lifeless, face is pale and sallow, kidney deficiency and insufficient kidney essence.

The following is an inference, advising Ji Chengyun to have sex once a month for the sake of his health.

In short, every word clearly tells everyone that Ji Chengyun is not capable!

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help laughing and asked, "Have all the high-ranking families in the capital received it?"

Hongli nodded and replied, "Someone was peeking in front of the Xie Mansion early in the morning. Manager Xie thought something was wrong, so he opened the door and the man ran away, leaving only a portrait behind."

The news had already spread among the people in the mansion, and then fell into Jiang Yuzhu's hands.

Hongli smoothed out the wrinkled portrait and looked at it again and again: "Tell me, who is so wicked? I heard that Ji Chengyun didn't even go to the government office and hid in his room and refused to come out."

Jiang Yuzhu's smile faded a little: "I came up with the idea, and I can't wait to execute it..."

Princess Yutan, she won’t run away!

Anyway, no matter who it is, Jiang Yuzhu will most likely take the blame.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I, your wife, just suffered the loss of reputation!"

With her family loving and caring for her, Jiang Yuzhu does not feel wronged.

Anyway, as long as the Jiang family does not fall, those who are dissatisfied with her will have to keep quiet and hide their heads in the dark.

Occasionally, a few small cockroaches come out and jump around. It is not enough to strangle them to death. They must be cut in half and thrown into the water.

Now that civil governance is over, it is time for military governance.

As long as Ji Chengyun shows up, Wu Zhi will be arranged.

This time, Jiang Yuzhu will never give the opportunity to Princess Yutan.

"The Zhao family's steward has arrived and said he wants to count Miss Fendie's belongings."

The Zhao family also received the portrait. In order to avoid being implicated, they immediately expelled Zhao Fendie from the family and sent people to ask for money.

Hong Feng asked hesitantly, "Should we give this silver?"

Jiang Yuzhu narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Where did the Zhao family get the money?"

No, not a penny.

All the maids have been taken back by the Zhao family. Zhao Fendie only relies on money for support. She feels safe only when she has money.

"Pink Butterfly will definitely regret it when she wakes up."

Jiang Yuzhu met Manager Zhao on behalf of Zhao Fendie.

Manager Zhao saluted, but he felt something was wrong. He said respectfully, "The old lady sent me here to take back the property that belongs to the Zhao family."

When Zhao Fendie got married, she took away a lot of money. Now she is of no use, so the Zhao family will not keep a single penny for her.

Old Mrs. Zhao was very tough and repeatedly asked Manager Zhao to get things done.

Jiang Yuzhu looked bewildered and asked, "What industry? Does your Zhao family have any industry?"

Manager Zhao's heart sank, and he said solemnly: "Madam Xie, please stop joking. Our young lady has already mentioned that the Zhao family will not keep a penny."

Since Zhao Fendie has such backbone, then don't shirk your responsibility.

Anyway, now that I've been expelled from the clan and my name has been erased from the family tree, wouldn't it be unfair for me to continue taking money from the Zhao family?

Jiang Yuzhu originally wanted to part ways amicably, but seeing the attitude of the Zhao family, she felt that she would be unworthy of the blame she had been given if she didn't give them a try.

"Manager Zhao, you've come at the right time. I have a few words to say. Could you please pass them on to your old lady?"

Jiang Yuzhu twisted her handkerchief and said, "Fendie said she wanted to open a shop and borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from me. She never dared to tell anyone that her shop was losing money, and she has already lost all her dowry!"

"Originally, I have a good relationship with Fendie, so I am not in a hurry to get the money. But your Zhao family is too ruthless. Who will return the money to me?"
