Chapter 144: Sharing Difficulties
Feng Qingsui didn't expect this to happen.
"Miss Qi wants to kill me, and the Marquis wants to kill the Second Master. It seems that the Qi family is not inviting our Ji family to a Hundred Days Banquet, but a Hongmen Banquet."
She said to Qi.
"Mother, I think it's better for us not to have any contact with this marriage."
Qi was already so angry that fumes were coming out of her head.
She grabbed the white porcelain teacup on the coffee table and threw it hard to the ground.
Porcelain pieces flew everywhere.
"From now on, our Ji family and the Qi family will sever all ties and have no further contact with each other until we die!"
Guests: “…”
What on earth is wrong with the Qi family?
Ji Xiang is such a big man, but instead of rushing to hug him, he poisons and assassinates him. What's the purpose?
Are you tired of the rich and luxurious life and want to experience the hot and exciting life of the common people?
Seeing that her father was about to be imprisoned, Qi Yuwan knew that she could not rely on her natal family and could only rely on her husband's family.
"Husband, we've been out all day. Yoyo and Luming will be crying and looking for us."
After catching a glimpse of Wen Jiming's figure, she walked over.
"Let's go back home."
Wen Jiming looked at her steadily.
Even after all her evil deeds were exposed in public, she was still able to call him home as if nothing had happened. With such a strong character, it's no wonder that she never showed any clues in front of him.
"Let's finish the lawsuit first."
He said lightly.
"Otherwise, he would be considered a fugitive."
Qi Yuwan's face suddenly changed.
"Did you believe that bitch's play?"
She held Wen Jiming's arm tightly.
"We've been married for so long, don't you know what I'm like?"
"Third sister's mental state has been problematic for a long time. Mother, in order to conceal the truth, said she was sent to the village because of smallpox."
"She did give birth to a child. She was crazy and took advantage of the maids and servants not paying attention. She ran outside the farm and was raped and conceived."
"My mother allowed her to give birth to the child because the doctor said she shouldn't have an abortion. The child was dead at birth and was buried long ago. It has nothing to do with Youyou and Luming!"
"This is a family scandal, so I didn't tell you. You can't blame me or doubt me because of this."
Wen Jiming was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Can you accept the body test? If the test shows that you are not a barren woman, I will believe you."
The resentment in Qi Yuwan's eyes froze instantly.
"I gave birth to your children, and you didn't believe me. You disappoint me so much!"
Mrs. Lei was furious. "It's clear that others have falsely accused Yuwan, but you didn't defend her. You actually questioned her? How can you be a husband like this?"
The yamen runner suddenly interrupted, "Madam, you are also a defendant. Please come to the yamen with me."
Lei: “!!!”
Guests: “…”
A family of three goes to court together. Can they share the joys and sorrows?
No matter how reluctant Marquis Wenyuan and his wife and Qi Yuwan were, they were brought to the court.
All three have pleaded not guilty.
However, there was evidence that Marquis Wenyuan drugged Ji Changqing, and he could not get rid of the charge of murdering an imperial official.
The Chief Justice has convicted him, and the specific punishment will be presented to the emperor tomorrow for decision.
Seeing that their master was in danger of his life, the servants of the Qi Mansion confessed to the evil deeds of Lei and Qi Yuwan, and both mother and daughter were convicted.
Because both of them had imperial edicts, the specific punishments had to be determined in addition to the imperial edicts.
Lei will probably only be sentenced to a few years in prison.
Qi Yuwan was guilty of many crimes and would be exiled even if he was not executed.
So when she was taken back to the marquis's mansion by the yamen runners to await judgment, she took a pair of scissors and went straight to the courtyard where Concubine Sheng was, intending to kill Sheng to be buried with her.
But he was kicked away by Wuhua.
"Why are you still here?!"
She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Isn't this slut Feng's maid? Why is she still here now that Feng has returned to the Ji Mansion?
Wuhua sneered, "Mrs. Sheng was just planning to prove to the authorities that she was in imminent danger in the Marquis' Mansion so that she could leave and start her own business, when you happened to come and assassinate her. I didn't expect that despite your evil heart, you would do a good deed before your death."
Qi Yuwan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"She still hopes to leave the Marquis' Mansion? Dream on! Just wait to be sold to a brothel!"
After saying that, he endured the pain and got up from the ground and walked towards the main courtyard.
She wanted her mother to find the people from the brothel and sell out that bitch Sheng and that little bitch Qi Yuzhen. Anyway, they had already been charged with the crime, so one more or one less wouldn't make much difference.
However, after taking a few steps, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fell to the ground.
When I woke up it was already the next day.
"Miss, the yamen runners are here, saying that His Majesty has revoked your and your wife's imperial edicts and wants to take you to the yamen."
A little maid from the Qi Mansion said to her.
Mother Qi and her personal maid were thrown into jail last night for assisting her in committing a crime.
"Where's my mother?"
She asked as she sat up, rubbing the back of her aching neck.
The little maid bowed her head: "Madam...she's gone."
She was stunned: "My mother has already gone to the government office?"
"He didn't go to the government office." The little maid said weakly, "He... hanged himself."
The Lei family had enjoyed decades of wealth and glory, so how could they accept becoming a prisoner?
As soon as the news of her deprivation of the imperial edict reached the mansion, she committed suicide.
"impossible!"
Qi Yuwan screamed.
"My mother can't possibly commit suicide!"
She rushed to the main courtyard like crazy, and was stunned as soon as she entered her mother's bedroom.
My mother was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face pale. The servants were covering her with linen.
"mother!"
She rushed over and shook her mother's shoulders desperately.
"Mom, please open your eyes and look at me! Please don't fall asleep, please wake up!"
Her arms ached from shaking, and her mother remained motionless. She gritted her teeth in anger, "Mother definitely didn't hang herself. It must have been that Feng's maid who killed her. I'm going to sue her!"
She let go of her mother and ran out the door.
As soon as she walked out of the second door, she saw a servant leading Wen Jiming's attendant towards her. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed the attendant's sleeve.
"My mother was murdered. Please write a complaint for me. I want to sue the authorities."
The attendant took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Miss Qi, I'm here to help Master deliver the divorce letter."
Qi Yuwan loosened his grip.
"Impossible! How could Ji Ming divorce me? I'm Youyou and Luming's mother!"
She took two steps back, muttering to herself.
"I want to ask him clearly!"
Then rushed to the door.
Unexpectedly, a group of yamen runners were waiting outside the door. When they saw her come out, they immediately stepped forward and took her away.
She struggled desperately but it was no use.
The Chief Justice sentenced her to death and beheaded her at the Meridian Gate that same day.
Marquis Wenyuan was stripped of his title, his property confiscated, and he was exiled for plotting to murder the prime minister and illegally lending money.
The old wife of Marquis Wenyuan, Mrs. Meng, could not bear the blow, suffered a stroke and fainted, almost dying. After being rescued, she became paralyzed in bed.
With the help of Feng Qingsui and Wuhua, Sheng and Qi Yuzhen left the Qi family and established their own female households.
The mother and daughter rented a small courtyard with a storefront in the outer city, intending to resume their ancestral business of making and selling fireworks and firecrackers.
As soon as she settled down, Qi Yuzhen went to Wen Mansion to find Wen Jiming.
"I saved your life. Do you acknowledge this favor or not?"
She asked and heard it clearly.
Wen Jiming looked at her pretty face, which was gentle yet strong, and nodded, "Of course I do. I just asked a matchmaker to propose to you."
Qi Yuzhen: "I don't want to marry you. The two children are my children. If you return them to me, it will be considered as repaying my kindness."
