Two maids came to help Chen Yuhui back. Before leaving, Chen Yuhui said loudly, "If I die one day, it must be He Linsheng who beat me to death. You are all witnesses. Let my father sue them..."
Chen Yuhui was plain to begin with, and with her face deformed by the beating and tears streaming down her face, she looked even more ordinary and ferocious. Almost everyone in the room was secretly sighing, wondering how the handsome and noble Chen Tanhua could have given birth to such a daughter. The ruthless and violent He Linsheng and the shameless second wife were a perfect match.
Madam Wei, who had the best relationship with the He family, tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Look at what Second Madam He said. How could General He beat you to death? The boy is young and hot-blooded, and he has a bit of temper. If you are gentle and considerate, he will not only beat you, but the pain will be too much for him."
Before Chen Yuhui could say anything, he was half-supported and half-carried away by the old woman...
Chen Afu thought to himself that Chen Yuhui was vicious, selfish, aggressive, and bold, and he was willing to sacrifice his face and self-respect, so he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
If the He family treated her as a soft persimmon that could be manipulated at will and He Linsheng could beat her whenever he wanted, then he would be very wrong.
It seems that Chen Yuhui is a woman who is trapped in the backyard of the Lin family and can only be bullied. But Chen Yuhui is not a simple woman, she is a strong woman who has trained her fighting ability to "break through the siege" and her ability to be as tough as iron in the Chen family.
When she was in the Chen family, Chen Shiying loved her very much and Jiang was also very kind to her, but she was still not satisfied. How could she possibly endure the bullying of the He family?
Chen Yuhui's incident made both the He and Chen families a laughing stock, but it was not in vain because Chen Shiying would not ignore her, and for political reasons, Chu Lingxuan might also help her.
Chen Ahfu could forgive Chen Yuhui for quarreling with him, and even for her selfishness, fierceness, and secretly thinking about Chu Lingxuan, but he would never forgive her for conspiring with Old Lady Chen and Aunt Tang to find someone to rape and kill him. That damn girl was evil to the core.
So, after hearing about Chen Yuhui's story, she was secretly happy. Didn't Chen Yuhui insist on marrying him? This was retribution! However, poor Chen Yuqing's reputation became worse, and her marriage would become more difficult.
Chen Ahfu did not show much surprise or sympathy, and said calmly, "I will go back to my mother's house and tell my father. My father will come forward to seek justice from the He family."
Song saw that Chen Afu and Chen Yuhui had a bad relationship, but she didn't expect Chen Afu to be so calm after hearing this. She smiled and said, "Grandma Fu complained for a long time at my house, saying that her parents-in-law were very angry, and she swore that she would never dare to be a matchmaker again. If you do a good job of matchmaking, people will be grateful. But if you don't do it well, not only will you be hated, but you will also be dragged to mediate conflicts from time to time, which is annoying." Then she changed the topic to something else.
Chu Lingxuan did not come back for dinner. He came back at the end of the hour of Hai.
It turned out that he was dragged to the He family by Chen Shiying to reason with them, and Jiang, as well as General Fu and his wife, also went with them.
It was just as Chen Ahfu expected. No matter how angry Chen Shiying was with Chen Yuhui, she couldn't just ignore her. Jiang hated Chen Yuhui, but if Chen Shiying wanted to take care of her, she had no choice but to do the same.
Chu Lingxuan was very happy to participate in it in order to make things difficult for the He family. He didn't want the He family to torture Chen Yuhui to death or cripple him, and he was waiting for Chen Yuhui to cause more trouble for the He family.
When Chen Shiying saw his daughter with a bruised face and a lame leg, he was angry and distressed. He wanted to persuade his daughter to divorce He Linsheng, saying that such a family was not worth entrusting her life to. But seeing the sadness in his wife's eyes, he held back.
He knew that he had wronged his wife and children in many things. If there was another divorced daughter in the family, it would be even more difficult for Qing'er to get married.
Chen Shiying angrily denounced He's sons for committing murder and murdering his wife, saying that he would go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor. He also cursed He Linsheng for being cruel and inhumane, and actually beating a weak woman like this.
General Fu also said that He Linsheng was outrageous and asked how he could beat his wife like that.
He Linsheng was very dissatisfied. If Chen was a weak woman, how could she break through the siege, disguise herself, and go to the guests to embarrass the He family. That fierce woman was not only ugly, jealous, and unvirtuous, but she even dared to fight back when he hit her. Especially her father, not only was he not a helper to his family, but he also stood on the side of the Chu family to bully their He family. It was so infuriating.
Lord He was also very angry. Although he knew that his son had a bad temper, Chen was definitely not a weak woman. However, it was an indisputable fact that his son had beaten Chen like that, and he had no choice but to be humble and get over it quickly.
He kicked He Linsheng several times in public and scolded him. Together with Mrs. He, he apologized to Chen Shiying and Jiang, and promised to treat Chen Yuhui well in the future and not let his son beat her again.
He Linsheng had received his father's instructions long ago, so he didn't dare to say much. He knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Shiying and his wife, saying that he would never beat his wife again and would treat her well, and so on.
He bowed deeply to Chen Yuhui and said that he would respect her in the future. But in his heart, he thought that he would deal with this fierce woman after he went to Beijing. Then, hey, let's see who will support you again.
Chen Ashi gave Chen Yuhui a few more lectures, telling her to be chaste, virtuous, respect her husband, and be filial to her parents-in-law...
Chen Yuhui had never been beaten like this before, and it hurt so much. She risked everything to make the incident public, just to make the He family afraid of her and not think that she was easy to bully. Now her father came to support her, and even Chu Lingxuan came. She was moved and happy that Chu Lingxuan had not forgotten her. She knew that the Chu family was powerful, and the old He family would not dare to bully her in the future.
Lord He came from a grassroots background. Relying on his ability to flatter and curry favor with Uncle Wang Guojiu, he was promoted step by step and was finally placed by the Wang family in Dingzhou as deputy general.
With the Wang family as his backing, Lord He was not too afraid of Chen Shiying and Jiang's family. Chen Shiying was out of reach, Lord Jiang was a civil servant, and Chen was not Jiang's biological daughter. But he was afraid of Chu Lingxuan, not only because there was Master Chu San in the capital, but also because the commander of the Zuowei Camp where Lord He was located was Lord Lin, the father of Princess Rui.
Chu Lingxuan briefly told how Chen Afu and Princess Rui were very close and how they often met in the capital. He also said that he would write to Commander Lin and ask him to take good care of Lord He.
Lord He knew that Chu Lingxuan was threatening him, but he still broke into a sweat.
Finally, Chu Lingxuan said to Chen Afu with a wicked smile, "Although your second sister is a woman, her fighting power is no less than that of two banners. He Linsheng is ruthless and violent, and his fighting power is equivalent to that of three banners. It is impossible for He Linsheng not to beat a woman, and it is also impossible for your second sister not to make a fuss. They are evenly matched, and the He family will be more lively."
