Chapter 614: Even an honest judge like Wei Jie cannot settle family disputes!
Wei Jie turned around and looked at his wife who was looking at him eagerly, her face full of desire for family affection.
He regrets it!
I have been busy with official duties all year round and didn't even notice it.
His eyes swept over the box on the table, Wei Jie gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
"Madam, pack up and go back to your parents' home!"
Mrs. Wei Jie was stunned for a moment, and then she was delighted.
"Master, have you allowed me to go back to visit my father and mother?"
Wei Jie nodded and clenched his fists tightly.
"When you leave, don't take too many things. I will have someone send you a letter of divorce later. Take care of yourself from now on!"
Mrs. Wei Jie froze and looked at Wei Jie in disbelief.
"Master, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?"
Chen Gao on the side was also in disbelief. Didn’t she say she was going back to her parents’ home to visit relatives?
Why did you send the divorce letter?
Thinking of the fact that Wei Jie had previously cut off ties with his family, Chen Gao's face turned ugly.
"What you heard is true. I am the only one who will report this to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send people from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel to investigate your home. If any crime is found, you will not be implicated with the divorce letter."
Mrs. Wei Jie was so frightened that her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
"Master, I won't divorce you. I will never go back to my parents' home again, and I will never meet my family again. Please don't divorce me."
Seeing her like this, Wei Jie felt sad, helpless and annoyed.
"It's useless. Do you know why I came back early today?"
Mrs. Wei Jie's tears kept rolling down her cheeks as she looked up with a wronged look on her face.
"It was His Majesty who reminded me."
"I heard everything you said just now from outside the door."
"Your Majesty knows everything, which means this has happened more than once or twice."
"It's ridiculous that I thought I was upright and honest, but I didn't expect that I would be ruined by you ladies in the inner house."
"You all saw how His Majesty executed the Wu family. If you want to live, take the divorce letter and leave. I will go to the palace to plead guilty to His Majesty later."
"You want to live, or you want to share the responsibility with me? You make your choice!"
After saying this, Wei Jie looked at Chen Gao.
"If something happens to the Wu family, three clans will be implicated. Our two families are so close, if something happens to me, your Chen family will not be able to escape!"
Chen Gao was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs kept shaking, and her body slid down little by little.
"Sister, ask for a divorce letter. Ask him for a divorce letter!"
With the divorce agreement, the Chen family and the Wei family no longer had any relationship. Even if Wei Jie was found guilty, it would not implicate the Chen family.
"No, I won't divorce. I don't want to divorce..."
Mrs. Wei Jie cried so hard that she was out of breath. She didn't understand. She had only met with her family a few times and helped with a few small favors. Why was she guilty?
Why did you get divorced?
"Master, I won't divorce you. I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I will never have any contact with my family again."
"Please don't divorce me, sir. I was wrong and I will never do it again." Mrs. Wei Jie hugged Wei Jie's legs and cried bitterly.
Wei Jie looked down at his wife who had been with him for many years. His wife was good in every way except that she was soft-hearted and easily bewitched.
Back then, she was bewitched by her eldest brother and almost caused him to frame an unjust case. Because of this, he did not allow his wife to have any contact with her parents' family.
In recent years, he has been highly valued by His Majesty and has been in charge of all affairs of the Dali Temple. The Chen family has come to him again like a vulture smelling rotten meat.
"If you don't want the divorce letter..."
Before Wei Jie could finish his words, Chen Gao started yelling.
"Yes, we want a divorce letter!"
"Little sister, my father and mother are so old, can you bear to let them be implicated by your brother-in-law?"
"And your brother and the children at home. Your brother was about to be banished to the southwest. If he is implicated at this time, his crime will definitely be aggravated."
"And your poor nephews and nieces. Think about what happened to the children of the Chen family. Think about your nephews and nieces. Can you bear to see them being exiled?"
"Sister, for the sake of our Chen family, you should ask for the divorce papers!"
Chen Gao was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
"Sister, I kneel down and kowtow to you!"
This sister-in-law is confused, but she is not stupid. When it comes down to it, Wei Jie was unaware of the things he did to deceive his sister-in-law. He may not die, but it is different for her.
She deceived her sister-in-law into doing those things. She definitely has no way out.
Your Majesty is a ruthless person and will never let their family go.
"Sister, please, I'm begging you, your sister-in-law kowtows to you..."
Chen Gao really knocked her head and broke her forehead after a few hits.
The sound of "dong dong dong" frightened Mrs. Wei Jie.
She was at a loss and in a dilemma.
On one side is the divorce, and on the other side is her natal family. What should she do?
"Sister, I will ask father and mother to come and plead for you!" Whenever Chen Gao mentioned her parents-in-law, her sister-in-law would give in.
The same is true this time.
"Stop talking. Can't I just ask for a divorce?" Mrs. Wei Jie felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"Master, I'm sorry for you. But I can't let my parents and family down either."
"They gave birth to me and raised me, I cannot be unfilial..."
Wei Jie felt disappointed.
"Go now. Don't take anything from my house. I will ask His Majesty to search my house later. Anything that exceeds my salary will be considered stolen property and will be put into the national treasury."
"As for the money that has already been spent, the Ministry of Revenue will intervene and investigate. If the amount of money in the family cannot be verified, the Ministry of Revenue will investigate its whereabouts. The Chen family better be prepared!"
Chen Gao's face was as pale as death. It was over. The Chen family was going to be in great trouble.
Wei Jie wrote the divorce letter and handed it to Chen on the spot.
"You guys should go now while the kids at home are still at school."
Chen looked at the divorce agreement, tears falling on it.
"Master, if the children ask about me, just tell them that I went outside the city to burn incense."
After years of sticking together through thick and thin and having children, Wei Jie didn't want to make things too awkward.
"Got it. Go ahead. I'm also going to prepare to enter the palace."
When Chen Gao heard that she could leave, she didn't even care about her sister-in-law and ran out.
When Chen faced Wei Jie, she looked a little embarrassed and ashamed.
"Master, whether you believe it or not, my sister-in-law just asked me to help. I will go back to my parents' home and ask clearly."
Wei Jie didn't want to say anything more.
He finally saw the true face of his wife.
…
Wu Yanzhi could never have imagined that his home in the capital would be gone before he even arrived in the northwest.
He has been in the northwest for three days and will reach the border in two more days.
"Take a good rest today, and make a concerted effort tomorrow to reach the border!"
He had a feast of delicious food and wine at the inn, and then had the best room prepared for him to live in.
Just in the middle of the night, the door of the room was kicked open with a bang.
