Chapter 407: Xiao's defense is broken
Su Tan's face was filled with annoyance. "Since I gave you a chance and you didn't make it, then there's no need for me to keep talking to you about these things."
"Xiao, no matter what happens to you, it's all your own fault!"
"We've given you countless chances."
Su Tan's patience finally ran out, and he asked Xiao and Yan Jin directly and in detail how they persecuted Zhuang Hui.
Xiao originally didn't want to say a word.
But under the control of the Truth Talisman, whether she can say everything is no longer up to her.
Xiao's face was filled with horror as she watched helplessly as everything she should and shouldn't have said was blurted out one by one.
She fell heavily to the ground, her face dull and full of grief and anger.
It’s over!
It's all over!
She looked at the bones beside her in great sorrow, "I'm sorry, husband, I'm sorry for you!"
"I failed to protect your reputation. It's all my fault!"
"I know I was wrong!"
Xiao finally realized his mistake.
But it was not because of his evil heart that he felt guilty for harming an innocent woman, and thus he came to his senses.
"I should have protected your reputation, but these people are so vicious!"
She was sad and angry.
She finally said, "I know I was wrong," because she blamed herself for ruining her husband's reputation.
She even wondered if she had hit her head against the coffin when the truth talisman was thrown at her, would everything be left without evidence.
This group of people didn't say anything about themselves anymore.
No matter how much I ask, it's no use.
What you ask is useless.
After all, the person is dead, so why bother about so many things?
But now, no matter how much she thought that she could actually prove her husband's innocence by dying, it was useless.
When Su Tan threw out the truth talisman, she also felt her body becoming weak. She couldn't even exert any strength. Even if she wanted to die, she couldn't.
The eldest lady looked at her expressionlessly.
"Xiao, you have done so many evil things and missed your last chance."
"I won't let you go now."
She ordered coldly, "Tie her up and lock her up. Send her to the government office tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she took Zhuang Hui's hand and left with a cold wave of her sleeves.
The guests were also tired and didn't want to deal with these trivial matters anymore. When they learned that they were finally safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately turned around and went back to the guest room to rest.
When they arrived at the eldest lady's yard, she could no longer hold back the expression on her face and hugged Zhuang Hui in her arms with a trembling body.
"Huihui, you've suffered."
"I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault for being so useless. She's been searching for this for so long. Fortunately, we have Master Su, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the eldest lady could not imagine the torment she would have to live in for the rest of her life, and how she would face the fact that the daughter she had raised with so much effort was now a corpse.
Zhuang Hui's voice was hoarse and her fingers were shaking uncontrollably.
For so many years, she has actually always wanted to get close to the eldest lady and always wanted to act coquettishly in her arms like an ordinary daughter.
It’s just that—she never dared to do so because the eldest lady was always too strict.
Zhuang Hui's body trembled slightly, and the grievances she had accumulated over the years gathered into tears, falling down with a plop.
She sobbed softly at first, but in the end, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother!"
"Mother, I thought you hated me to death and that you would be happy if I died. I also thought that if I left, it would lighten your burden!"
But she didn't expect that after her death, the saddest person in the whole house would be her mother.
She finally realized hesitantly that her mother did not love her.
My mother has always been strict and doesn't know how to express herself.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, even though my mother was so strict with my eldest sister, it was not just directed at her alone.
But the eldest sister is my mother’s biological child, and she has always known that my mother loves her.
Only she herself was in constant fear.
I have been torturing myself.
"What are you talking about, you silly kid!"
The eldest lady also shed tears and couldn't help crying.
"When you were brought to me, you were so tiny. I was really uncomfortable at first, but as I watched you grow up little by little, you became no different from my own child!"
Don’t say that Zhuang Hui was the daughter she raised with her own hands.
Even though Zhuang Hui was a kitten she picked up on the roadside, she had raised her for so long that she would have feelings for her no matter what.
How could she be indifferent to Zhuang Hui's departure?
Zhuang Hui sobbed and said nothing more. She just threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly.
It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in recent years.
The eldest lady's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "Good child, cry if you want."
"It was mother who let you down in the past."
"Mother shouldn't be so harsh on you."
"You were so young, and your mother has been restraining you with rules. It was your mother's fault in the past. From now on, your mother will make it up to you. You can do whatever you want. Even if you don't want to get married, your mother's dowry will be enough to support you."
After this incident, the eldest lady finally understood that as long as others wanted to attack her maliciously, it would be useless no matter how well a woman followed the rules.
They will examine the whole process from beginning to end, and even if a single strand of a woman's hair is out of place, she will be criticized.
If they really can't find any fault, they will spread rumors and slander the woman.
As long as enough people say it, and as long as the slanderous content is eye-catching enough, the mob will believe it even if it is false at first glance.
Gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person.
The world is unfair.
No matter what the woman does, she will be criticized.
In other words, women can do anything.
The eldest lady's words made Zhuang Hui burst into tears again.
She nodded vigorously, "Okay."
…
Zhuang Hui and the eldest lady were a loving and filial family. They spoke out the words that had been suppressed in their hearts for the past few years, and finally they resolved their past grudges and there was no longer any estrangement between them.
But after reporting to the police the next day, Xiao's life was no longer so good after being detained in the Dali Temple prison.
Xiao always felt that she was a role model among women.
She is a rare and virtuous wife in the world.
Even if it was painful, everyone would think that she did nothing wrong and it was Zhuang Hui who was wrong.
After all, if Zhuang Hui didn't have such an attractive face, how could she have caused Yan Jin to make a mistake!
After all, isn't all this caused by Zhuang Hui's vixen-like face?
But who would have thought that after the other prisoners detained in the Dali Temple learned how she got in, they actually looked at her as if she were a dead rat in the gutter, with disgust on their faces.
"You can't sleep in the same bed with two different people!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, her husband is already dead, and she still doesn't know she's wrong. Even if he gives her a chance, it's useless. Such a person doesn't deserve to be reincarnated as a human being!"
The Xiao family is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
She immediately got up and started to curse at the prisoners who were accusing her.
“Bullshit!”
"What could I have done wrong!"
"My husband and I were both victims. My husband is a man and he likes pretty girls. What's wrong with that? It's Zhuang Hui who is ungrateful!"
"If she had agreed to be my husband's concubine from the beginning, things wouldn't have gotten to this point! Zhuang Hui deserves it. What right do you have to blame my husband?"
The other prisoners were shocked.
In an instant, he seemed to have lost all his strength and means.
"Is she speaking human language? Why can't I understand?"
"...Don't talk about you, I don't understand either."
"I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Everyone says that evil spirits are scary, but when I look at this woman, she's much scarier than those so-called evil spirits!"
"She still has the nerve to call herself the most virtuous wife in the world. A virtuous wife would advise her husband when he makes a mistake, stop him and prevent him from making mistakes. That's the true husband working outside and the wife working inside. How can she be called a virtuous wife? She's just a high-ranking servant!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! She even said that if that poor girl had agreed to be her husband's concubine from the beginning, there wouldn't be so much trouble. She can say such absurd things. I even suspect that her mother abandoned her when she was born and raised Ziheche instead!"
Xiao's eyes were about to burst out when she heard this.
He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.
