The murderous intent honed by years of battlefield experience made the mother and her two children tremble and speechless.
It took Qi Mingyue quite a while to finally find her voice.
Puzzled, she asked, "If you didn't mind, why did you divorce Qu Jingyun? In the end, didn't you just dislike him?"
Curled up on the ground, Qi Yun'er struggled to look up at Shen Yunting, her expression full of confusion.
But then Shen Yunting spoke up and asked, "Who said that I and she got divorced?"
Qi Mingyue was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding.
Shen Yunting patiently explained, "I never intended to divorce Qu Jingyun. It was she who wanted to divorce me, so I just went along with it."
"She is my wife of many years, how could I not trust her?"
Qi Yun'er's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"How...how is this possible?"
From beginning to end, the mother and her two children were convinced that Shen Yunting had divorced Qu Jingyun because he disliked her.
After all, that was the position of the general's wife; how could Qu Jingyun possibly give it up?
But looking at Shen Yunting's expression, there was no trace of pretense in it.
Qi Mingyue collapsed to the ground.
If that's the case, then they must have taken the wrong route back to Beijing.
Sure enough, the next moment Shen Yunting waved his hand and said, "Song'er, your mother must really want to see them. Send them to your mother."
Shen Song responded without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun'er's eyes widened immediately.
She cried out in her heart: she absolutely must not see Qu Jingyun.
Qu Jingyun will definitely not let her go now.
But she couldn't say a word and could only watch helplessly as the guards tied her up.
Qi Mingyue and Qi Hao naturally wanted to beg for mercy, but Chen Song didn't give them the chance at all and had the guards gag them.
He then swaggered over with his entourage to what is now the Qu residence.
Qu Jingyun was looking at the account book when she heard the news, and she was taken aback.
She really didn't expect Qi Yun'er to come back so quickly.
She thought it would take a while.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qu Jingyun had Chen Song bring the person in.
Fearing that Qu Jingyun would misunderstand that he was still soft-hearted towards these people, Shen Song directly ordered the guards to make them kneel in front of Qu Jingyun.
He said coldly, "Father said that you are in charge of dealing with these three people. You can treat them however you want, and Father will take care of it later."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately trembled.
Especially when she saw the half-smile on Qu Jingyun's lips.
Qi Mingyue was the first to react, and she kept kowtowing to Qu Jingyun.
"Auntie, please forgive us. We know we were wrong, and we will never bother you again. Please forgive us."
Qi Hao was also frightened and shouted from the side, "This is all my mother's fault. She has been targeting you all. She wants to ruin your children. It's all her fault. It has nothing to do with me. Please forgive me."
Qi Yun'er's face immediately turned pale, her sorrowful gaze falling on her two children. She wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word.
Qu Jingyun's interested gaze fell on Qi Yun'er.
Seeing her look as if she had been struck by lightning, I immediately felt much better.
Seeing that she dared not speak out in anger, he became suspicious.
What's wrong?
Fortunately, Chensong quickly answered her question.
"She always said things that were bad for her mother, so her father dislocated her jaw."
Qu Jingyun finally understood. Under Qi Yun'er's hateful gaze, she slowly curled her lips and chuckled.
"So what do you think I should do to you?"
Qi Yun'er's pupils shrank instantly, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
It seems that she has only now come to understand what fear is.
Qu Jingyun saw this and couldn't help but sneer.
"So you can be scared after all. Now tell me, what should I do for you?"
Qi Yun'er was truly frightened, but she didn't want to back down in front of Qu Jingyun, so she stood there stiffly.
Qu Jingyun saw this, took a few steps forward, grabbed Qi Yun'er's chin, and pinched it shut with just a little force.
He then asked, "What do you want to do back in the capital?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Qi Yun'er said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingyue quickly reached out and tugged at her clothes.
He urged her in a low voice, "You should apologize to your aunt right away. You were the one who was wrong before, so it's normal for your aunt to be upset with you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun'er felt a surge of anger.
He glared fiercely at Qi Mingyue: "I will absolutely not apologize to her. I did nothing wrong."
“I helped educate her children and manage the General’s Mansion. Without me, the General’s Mansion would have been destroyed long ago, and how could it have survived until the General returned?”
“They are all ingrates. All my efforts have been wasted.”
These words earned him a slap from Shen Yue.
Qi Yun'er was completely stunned.
She considered that anyone could be the one to take action, but she never considered Shen Yue.
"How dare you hit me?"
Qi Yun'er's eyes widened, and she pulled up her sleeves, ready to retaliate.
In her eyes, Shen Yue was nothing but a good-for-nothing who could be beaten and scolded at will.
When did it become Shen Yue's turn to make a move against her?
Seeing Qi Yun'er's furious gaze, Shen Yue trembled violently, her mind replaying the scenes of being humiliated in the past, and she closed her eyes in fear.
But the slap never landed on her face.
Qu Jingyun's angry voice rang in her ears: "You old hag, how dare you hit my daughter in front of me? Don't you want to live?"
Qi Yun'er met Qu Jingyun's gaze without fear.
He sneered, "You hate me so much now just because you're jealous of me, aren't you?"
"What do you have that I'm jealous of?" Qu Jingyun was stunned after hearing this.
“My two children are better raised than yours; they are more outstanding and perfect. How are they like your children?”
"The eldest son was manipulated by the remnants of the previous dynasty, the second son was nothing but a good-for-nothing wastrel, and the youngest daughter was considered a dissolute woman by everyone in the capital."
"It's all my fault. They've been ruined by my care. You must hate me, but what good is that? My children are just better than yours."
She looked coldly at Qu Jingyun and sneered, feeling that she had hit the nail on the head, and became even more smug.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyun said disdainfully, "Your son is addicted to gambling and has accomplished nothing, and your daughter is so stupid that she can't even figure out how to steal the defense map."
"How dare you compare your two good-for-nothing children to my children? My children inherit my and Shen Yunting's bloodline. Even if you deliberately crippled them, they are still outstanding."
“They are not like your children. Even if you drain the blood of the General’s Mansion to support them, they are still useless because the blood of you and your useless husband flows in their veins.”
"You will never be as good as me."
