Chapter 462: Fighting in Court
Jiang Xinkui's cheeks and mouth were swollen and there was a clear footprint on them.
She stood in the lobby of the Jingzhao government office and began to feel a little regretful.
Previously, she had gone to cause trouble for her mistress.
As soon as I entered, I saw that the food, clothing, and furnishings of the concubine were much better than my own.
She immediately had her mistress held down and slapped her more than a dozen times until her face was swollen and blue.
But she was still angry and had her concubine's room searched clean of all the valuables.
Soon, a woman came to Jiang Xinkui with a booklet.
Jiang Xinkui opened the booklet and found that it was an account book.
It records the accounts of Lord Wen selling official positions and titles over this period of time.
When, with whom did the transaction take place, what official position was promised to the other party, and how much money did he receive.
And he did it more than once.
All in all, he alone received more than 10,000 taels of silver, plus the money he gave to various people.
Jiang Xinkui didn't dare to calculate carefully, his head was buzzing.
Hahahaha…I see!
No wonder he didn't lay hands on her and was able to come up with so much money to redeem his concubine.
No wonder he and his mistress gained weight even after their food was deprived.
She naively thought that he had borrowed the money from his colleagues and relatives, and that there would be a time to return it, and then he would have to come to her for help.
Unexpectedly, he committed such a heinous crime of confiscating property and destroying the entire family without making any noise.
Did his head get squeezed by the door?
Or was he bewitched by this little bitch, his mistress?
She was so angry that her body was shaking.
He took two steps at a time and arrived in front of the outer room.
She raised her hand and slapped him a few times: "Bitch, you are a disaster that disturbs the peace of our family!
You are a disaster. It's not enough that you have destroyed your own family, but you also want to bring disaster to the Wen family and my children!
You bitch, why don't you just die?
It is true that like fathers, like mothers, like fathers.
The reason you do such things that bring disaster to your whole family is because of what your short-lived mother taught you, right?
If your father and grandfather knew that they had married a jinx and then had another jinx, which resulted in the extinction of their family lineage, they might be so enraged they'd come back to life and take your worthless life themselves."
Jiang Xinkui slapped him and cursed at the same time.
The concubine was beaten so hard that she saw stars.
Wen Mi rushed in and rescued her.
When the mistress got the chance, she stood up and attacked Jiang Xinkui, and at the same time, she returned all the dirty words to Jiang Xinkui without missing a single word.
He also called her a worthless life.
My husband, I can’t keep him.
I can’t take care of my son.
Jiang Xinkui, you are the most pitiful woman in this world!
The two women cursed until their eyes turned red.
Jiang Xinkui has raised a concubine for more than ten years and sees his biological mother being bullied.
He kicked Jiang Xinkui in the face.
Jiang Xinkui spat out three broken teeth on the spot.
Not only was his face swollen, but there was also a clear shoe print on it.
Jiang Xinkui never thought that the fake son she had carefully raised for more than ten years would actually beat her.
More than ten years of hard work seemed to have been in vain.
She felt like a joke.
A complete joke.
She was both sad and angry, and with her hair standing on end, she went to the Jingzhao government office to file a complaint.
She wanted to make public the fact that Lord Wen was selling official positions and titles, so that Lord Wen would have no chance of a career in officialdom.
The concubine no longer had anyone to rely on, and she and Lord Wen could only let her do whatever she wanted.
In a fit of anger, she reported the matter to the authorities.
It was not until the gavel banged that she woke up from her dream.
If Lord Wen fell, she, as his wife, would not be able to escape unscathed, and would even be guilty of the same crime as him.
Can my eldest son Wen Zeduan still take part in the provincial examination this autumn?
Will Ruyue be looked down upon in the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion?
She regretted it.
Impulsive.
But it was too late.
False accusations can lead to jail time.
Moreover, she has handed in the account books, and the government has already gone to the homes of the relevant personnel to arrest them.
By then, with all the witnesses and evidence, the Wen family will probably really collapse.
no.
None of this can affect my son's future.
She was just about to ask someone to go back to the Jiang family to pass on a message for her.
Then the police brought the concubine and her son to the court.
The concubine had a slender figure and a swollen face, which made her look so pitiful.
The concubine knelt down politely and then softly complained, "Sir, please help me. She hit me and my son in the face."
After saying that, she covered her face with her handkerchief and started crying.
She also took the time to give Jiang Xinkui a provocative look.
"You bitch, you are still confusing right and wrong even now!" Jiang Xinkui was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap her again on the spot.
"You evil woman, what are you doing!" An angry shout came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked back and saw Lord Wen standing outside the crowd with an angry look on his face.
Jiang Xinkui's slap didn't land, and she was just about to remind Lord Wen.
The concubine cried out first, "Husband! I was beaten so badly!"
Lord Wen took a closer look and blurted out, "Who are you, you ugly freak!"
The concubine was stunned by these words, and soon continued to wipe away her tears: "My husband is me, I am your heart!"
The concubine's two children also joined in, "Father, it's us. Mother was beaten so badly by her stepmother that she's probably disfigured!"
My stepmother even beat me and my brother..."
The concubine's daughter Wen Mi also has a clever tongue and is even better at acting than her mother.
She looks like a good girl and is honest. When she speaks with red eyes and aggrieved voice, others will believe her for no reason.
Lord Wen pushed aside the people who were there to join in the fun and ran towards the mother and her two children.
"Xin'er, your face..."
"Husband, is my face disfigured? Will I be able to go out and see people in the future? Will you think I'm ugly and never love me again?" The concubine cried aggrievedly.
Her heart and eyes were filled with Lord Wen.
It seemed as if without this man, her dodder would disappear with him!
Lord Wen just fell for it.
While he was very caring towards his concubine, he hated Jiang Xinkui to the core.
He was furious and walked a few steps to Jiang Xinkui.
Jiang Xinkui immediately stepped forward, wanting to use this little time to give him some advice and check his confession.
Unexpectedly, Lord Wen raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face.
Lord Wen used all his strength in this slap.
After being whipped by him, Jiang Xinkui spun around several times, fell to the ground, and fainted on the spot.
Lord Wen thought she was pretending and pointed at her and scolded her for a long time.
Among the onlookers, Wen Yan and Pei'er also came to watch the fun.
Pei'er was shocked: "Is Master Wen crazy? Jiang Xinkui is his first wife after all.
Not only did he not protect her, he even slapped her in public.
Is he afraid that the charge of favoring his concubine over his wife will be proven false?"
“I heard that this man is the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Previously, he was reprimanded by the emperor in court for being unworthy of his position. Now, less than two months have passed and he has returned to his old ways, favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife. He really has no memory.
Tsk tsk tsk, with this slap, his career as an official is probably over."
