Hai Xinhou's face suddenly turned cold: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are a young couple and have always gotten along well. If it weren't for the fire, Feng'er would be the wife of Duke Cheng.
But the daughter you raised is shameless and has climbed into her brother-in-law's bed and become a concubine."
Speaking of this, Marquis Haixin hated Yuanshi and Qian Yumei. He didn't know what his second daughter was thinking. It was really shameful that the daughter of a marquis would think about becoming someone's concubine.
Even if being a concubine is not long, it is still shameful!
"My Lord! It's been so many years since the incident happened. Why are you still bringing this up?" Yuan felt guilty and didn't dare to act arrogant anymore.
Qian Yumei and Ji Fenglin walked in from outside the door. Qian Yumei looked very sad, as if she had been crying, but Ji Fenglin sat down as if nothing had happened.
He replied to Yuanshi: "It happened many years ago, but it still needs to be mentioned. Lord Marquis! Madam Marquis! Let's sort out what happened today."
Hai Xinhou looked at his daughter and son-in-law who suddenly appeared in surprise, and after hearing his address, he seemed to have guessed something. But he couldn't believe it. Could it be that Yufeng's death was really related to Yuan's mother and daughter?
Yuan looked at her daughter and saw that she was lowering her head with a pale face. She felt uneasy and wondered how much Ji Fenglin knew about what they had done.
"Duke! Didn't you say that as long as I return my sister's dowry to her, the past will be written off?" Qian Yumei begged, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been jealous and shouldn't have made such a mistake. Please be magnanimous and let me go! If there is a commotion, it will be embarrassing for our Chengguo Mansion."
Hai Xinhou was furious when he heard this: "Qian Yumei! So you really did something to offend your sister back then? Did you send someone to set the fire?"
"Master! How can you draw such a conclusion about Mei'er when the matter hasn't been clarified yet?" Yuan went up and hugged Qian Yumei, protecting her daughter in her arms.
"Is there anything else good to see in the Chengguo Mansion?" Ji Fenglin asked back, sneering, "Qian Yumei! Ever since you were forced into my Chengguo Mansion by Yuanshi, I knew something was going to happen.
What do you mean by accompanying your sister? You obviously just want to take away everything that belongs to Yufeng. You have done it. You have been the wife of Duke Chengguo for so many years. Are you still not satisfied?
You have committed the crime of arson and murder. If I were not afraid that the Marquis would find it hard to accept, I would have sent you to Jingzhao Prefecture."
Yuan was furious: "Ji Fenglin! What nonsense are you talking about? Mei'er only lowered her status because she loves you."
"Admiration?" Ji Fenglin looked at Yuan Shi without any respect. "Who cares about the admiration of such a vicious woman? In order to climb into my bed, you deliberately put drugs in my tea. Is this called admiration?
Let Yufeng witness her absurd behavior with her own eyes and deliberately provoke her. Is this called love? When one plan failed, she came up with another one, deliberately tripping me up and having someone pour kerosene on the yard where Yufeng lived and burn her to death. Is this called love?
"Yuanshi! You have a vicious heart, and the good daughter you taught is just as vicious as you. How can this prince bear such admiration?"
Hisense Hou: “…”
You're going too far. It's fine if you accuse your woman, but why are you accusing your mother-in-law as well?
Yuan Shi was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Ji Fenglin! What do you want to do?"
"Divorce your wife!"
Ji Fenglin shouted these two words loudly, shocking everyone in the room. In an instant, there was no sound and only dead silence.
Qian Yumei looked up at him, her voice trembling like a sieve: "You, you, you, what did you say? Divorce, divorce, divorce, wife?"
Marquis Haixin and Yuanshi stared at Duke Cheng in a daze, waiting for his answer.
Not to disappoint them, Duke Cheng answered very straightforwardly, even louder: "Yes, divorce your wife! Qian Yumei! You ordered people to set fire, almost burned my wife to death, and caused me to lose my extremely smart son. If I don't divorce you, it will be against the will of heaven.
If it weren't for the Madam's suppression, how could you have become the wife of Duke Cheng? I have tolerated you for so many years, that's enough."
"I don't agree. What right do you have to divorce me?" Qian Yumei became excited and shouted, "Didn't you say that if I return Qian Yufeng's dowry, this matter will be over? Why don't you keep your word?"
Ji Fenglin sneered and asked, "Why? Don't you know why? Someone, bring the person up."
Even though they were in Haixin Marquis's Mansion, the people Ji Fenglin brought were still very efficient. As soon as he called for them to come, Ji Huan led a middle-aged man in.
Although the man lowered his head, Qian Yumei still recognized him. His name was Yuan Liang, and he was the companion assigned to her by her mother.
Wasn't he dead? How did he get brought here by Ji Fenglin's people? It seemed that he was not lying, and he really had something on her.
Yuan Liang came into the house, slowly knelt on the ground, and looked at Qian Yumei viciously: "Second Miss! I hope you are okay!"
Hai Xinhou didn't know Yuan Liang, but he knew that this man should be close to his second daughter. Looking at him, it seemed that his second daughter had done something to let him down.
"You..." Qian Yumei's eyes went dark when she saw Yuan Liang, and she looked at Ji Fenglin, "We are husband and wife, are you going to do this?"
"Husband and wife? What kind of husband and wife are you and me? When you asked Yuan Liang to burn my legitimate wife to death, did you consider that we were husband and wife? Yuan Liang! Tell me everything you know, so that Hai Xin Hou and Yuan Shi won't say that I divorced my wife without any reason."
"Yes!" Yuan Liang bowed respectfully, "I am the second young lady's companion. Back then, I followed the second young lady to the Chengguo Mansion.
The second young lady wanted the eldest young lady's position as the wife of the Duke of Chengguo, so she asked me to prepare kerosene in advance, so that I could take action whenever I could trick the Duke of Chengguo away. The kerosene is in my room, ready for orders at any time."
Hai Xinhou's face looked extremely ugly. He stared at Qian Yumei without saying a word.
With her fists clenched and her teeth clenched, is this the sensible, virtuous daughter he usually pretends to be?
Yuanshi held her daughter in her arms and began to think of a solution. She must not let Ji Fenglin divorce his wife, otherwise if the incident got out, how would she face people?
"That day, I finally got the news and took kerosene to the courtyard where the eldest lady lived. In the dead of night, I poured all the kerosene on the wall of the main courtyard. The second lady also drugged the people in the eldest lady's courtyard, and everyone slept like dead pigs.
After the matter was done, the second lady asked me to go out and hide for a few days. Unexpectedly, she sent someone to kill me. Later, someone rescued me and took me to live far away. "
Yuan looked at Duke Cheng with sharp eyes: "Was he rescued by someone you arranged?"
"Yes." Duke Chengguo did not hide anything. "If it weren't for the pressure from the Madam, Qian Yumei would have been executed on the spot. She has enjoyed such glory for so many years, she should be content.
In order to climb up the social ladder, she even schemed against her own sister. How can such a vicious woman be worthy of being the wife of the Duke of Cheng?"
