The old woman's already low-key arrogance vanished instantly. She shrank back and stubbornly said, "Hurry up and arrest her."
No one dared to make a move.
During this time, Chu Jinjin's name had spread from the streets and alleys to the mansions of the wealthy.
Is it even human that one person could fight against 30,000 northern troops?
Shu Yuefen took a deep breath: "Miss Chu, for Zhan Qin's sake, I will not blame you. Please leave now."
She's going crazy.
When the housekeeper told her that she had encountered Chu Jinjin, she had expected that he would come and cause trouble, but she never expected him to ask her that question in public!
Even if there's nothing wrong, something will happen.
Chu Jinjin said impatiently, "Stop with the nonsense, let's talk privately, or should we say it like this?"
Shu Yuefen: "...Are you threatening me?"
“That’s right, you’re absolutely right.” Chu Jinjin acted without warning, appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, she grabbed her collar and whispered, “You should know the Emperor’s attitude towards me, and the Prime Minister’s attitude as well. I’ll give you a choice: first, tell me the truth; second, come with me to see the Emperor now.”
Shu Yuefen's face changed drastically. She was both strangled and frightened. She trembled all over: "You, you...you're a madwoman."
She was filled with despair.
Others might not dare, but Chu Jinjin really did.
The emperor is so fond of her that he's willing to disregard everything to make her empress; what wouldn't he dare to do?
"Don't worry, I'll take your master to see the Emperor. Of course, you can come along if you're not comfortable with that." Chu Jinjin looked at her servants who had followed her and loudly ordered, "Bring the carriage over here."
There's no time like the present, so let's get this done before Xiao Huai gives up.
The Chu family servants jumped up excitedly: "Yes, sir!"
I love watching my young lady act so unreasonably. Even though I don't know what happened, it's so satisfying to watch.
Before long, the entire Chu family arrived in a grand procession.
Zhan Qin walked at the front, his expression indescribable: "Jinjin."
"Don't say a word, don't stop me, no one can stop me." Chu Jinjin stated her determination clearly in advance, grabbed Shu Yuefen and jumped onto the carriage, then lifted the curtain and shouted, "Have fun, I'm going home tonight."
The Chu family members: "..."
Who's in the mood to play anymore?
Chu Lanlan, unaware of what had happened, asked the servant, "What happened?"
The servant replied arrogantly, "They are unreasonable. They took the spot we had reserved and even tried to hit us. The Third Miss took her to the Emperor to seek justice."
Chu Lanlan: "..."
What is all this about?
Zhan Qin wanted to catch up, but he couldn't.
"Oh, that's just Jinjin's personality. She can't stand other people being nice to her." Madam Liu sighed with pride. "Zhan Qin, you're so lucky to have married Jinjin. You must treat her well from now on."
Zhan Qin: "......."
His mind was buzzing; aside from his mother's suicide, this was the first time he didn't know what to do.
He understood what Chu Jinjin was going to do, and he was touched, but such a big matter should be considered carefully.
Chu Jinjin doesn't believe in taking things too long; she'll never back down if something can be done immediately.
There were only two people in the carriage.
Shu Yuefen completely gave up struggling; she had no strength left and looked utterly desperate: "Chu Jinjin, you're really crazy."
Chu Jinjin wasn't worried about her running away. She sneered, "Even if I'm crazy, I've never harmed anyone. Prime Minister's wife, there's karma in this world. You bullied Zhan Qin a lot back then when you were the first wife, didn't you?"
"So what? He's just a lowly illegitimate son, and his own mother, that slut, they stole my husband and the father of my child." Shu Yuefen was driven to the brink of madness. It was like a dream; she was being dragged to meet the emperor.
After today, even without evidence, her reputation is ruined, and she will become the laughingstock of the entire capital.
"You should blame Yuan Tianyou; he took the initiative." Chu Jinjin offered one explanation and then didn't want to continue.
Shu Yuefen was a titled lady, so she couldn't force a confession, but that didn't mean there was no way.
Chu Jinjin sighed: "You know the Prime Minister came to see me, right?"
Shu Yuefen's old eyes blazed with anger: "Of course, he'd give up everything for that beast. Doesn't he fear the Emperor might kill him in a fit of rage?"
Although she and Yuan Tianyou were already husband and wife in name only, there were still some things she knew.
That's right. Yuan Tianyou helped the emperor ascend to that position, and the emperor couldn't do without him. What about later?
He's trying to steal a woman from the emperor!
One ruler and one subject.
After this incident, the Yuan family was completely finished. Even if the emperor didn't act now because of the current situation, he would settle scores sooner or later, and her son, her grandson, and her maternal family would all be implicated.
More than ten years have passed, and Yuan Tianyou has done something so crazy for that woman. As a woman herself, she cannot accept it.
That's why I came out for a hike today to relax.
I never expected to run into Chu Jinjin, this madwoman.
"The Prime Minister already knew you were the murderer. Heh, you probably guessed that a long time ago. In the entire Yuan family, who else but you would have taken action? He didn't believe it at the time, only because he didn't expect you to risk your life." Chu Jinjin continued with the fabricated story she knew, since no one knew whether it was true or false. "The Prime Minister said that as long as Zhan Qin can forgive you, he can divorce you."
Shu Yuefen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "What did you say? He wants to divorce me?"
"Why are you so agitated? The Prime Minister has been putting up with you for a long time. You should know very well that you killed the woman he loved most, Zhan Qin, who was intelligent. If she were still in the Yuan family, she would have already become the top scholar. Now, she has even changed her surname. You have ruined the two most important things about a man. Why doesn't he divorce you?" Chu Jinjin spoke more and more smoothly, and in fact, what she said was very close to the truth.
Yuan Tianyou certainly wanted to divorce her.
It's just that I've been waiting for the right opportunity because of many concerns.
Chu Jinjin sneered, "The Prime Minister indeed has no evidence, but this matter does not require evidence. You should know his attitude after he went back better than I do. That's because I agreed on behalf of Zhan Qin. As long as you are divorced, I will persuade him and his son to reconcile."
Shu Yuefen turned pale instantly and shook her head repeatedly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe he would dare."
“You should be careful. The Prime Minister is not young anymore. He might pass away any day.” Chu Jinjin sighed deeply. “If he doesn’t divorce you, how will he face Zhan Qin’s mother after he dies?”
This statement was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Shu Yuefen knew better than anyone that Yuan Tianyou had gone to pay his respects every year over the years.
That woman died, but her spirit lingers on.
Shu Yuefen murmured, "Won't he be buried with me after he dies?"
Or is it that she can't have Yuan Tianyou, so she has to do this even after she dies?
Chu Jinjin's voice was low and menacing: "So, are you regretting it? If you hadn't killed Zhan Qin's mother, you might still have had a chance. Now that she's dead, nothing you do will make a difference."
Shu Yuefen was already out of her mind from the shock, and asked herself blankly, "Why did I do that? I didn't actually want to kill her, I just wanted to find a reason to kick her out."
Chu Jinjin clapped her hands: "It really was you."
Shu Yuefen: "......."
