The third gangster shouted, "I recognize her! It's the medicine she bought with me!"
All eyes turned to her. Granny Shi, in her death throes, cried out, "Nonsense! You're spouting lies! I...I..."
"I'm not lying!"
The third brother said urgently, "Although she was dressed simply that day, nine out of ten people who come to buy this medicine are there to harm others. Just in case, I always carefully remember the appearance of the person when I sell medicine! I swear on my parents that I have never mistaken anyone for her!"
Granny Shi was still shouting that she was innocent, but Constable Xu waved his hand, and two constables immediately went over and dragged Granny Shi up.
"stop!"
Yin Wenxiao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. "Officer Xu, aren't you afraid that I will report this to the Emperor for being so unreasonable?"
"You still have the nerve to report this to the Emperor?"
Qin Yu cracked his knuckles, his face grim; no one expected him to make a sudden move.
As a military general, his strength was naturally greater than that of an ordinary person. Qin Yu suddenly grabbed Yin Wenxiao's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Wenxiao!!!"
Old Madam Yin's eyes were bloodshot with rage. She staggered to her feet, trying to come over, but accidentally fell to the ground.
"mother……"
Chaos broke out in the hall.
Qin Sheng went over and helped Madam Qin up, some people helped Old Madam Yin up, and some people came over to stop Qin Yu...
...
The divorce ultimately did not go through.
Granny Shi was taken away by the people from Shuntian Prefecture, Old Madam Yin fainted, and even Yin Wenxiao had a bruise around his neck from being choked by Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was adamant; he was determined to take Qin Sheng away today.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said to his mother and brother at the door, "So many things have happened today. If I go back with you, people outside will not know what to say. Father and brother are now in important positions, so we must be wary of the eyes and mouths of the censors."
Qin Yu cursed and swore, "I don't care about any censors or anything like that, say whatever you want, you have to come back with us today!"
He was extremely worried about his sister staying any longer.
"Sheng'er..."
Despite knowing it was against the rules, Madam Qin still held her daughter's hand and said, "Come back with us."
"Mother, please listen to me..."
Qin Sheng's eyes stung and burned. She held her mother's and brother's hands and spoke to them in detail.
If Yin Wenxiao had written the divorce papers today, she could have packed her things and gone home with her mother and brother.
However, before the divorce papers were written, Madam Yin, in a fit of emotion, hit her head and fainted.
If she went back with her family at this time, she might not care what others said about her, but Qin Sheng couldn't afford to gamble with her family's reputation.
Yin Wenxiao's neck was bruised from Qin Yu's choking, and his throat felt like it was on fire, so he couldn't say a word.
Do you regret it?
Who can say for sure now? But even if he regrets it, he can't go back to the day he married Qin Sheng.
If he hadn't taken a concubine into his household and had instead devoted himself to Qin Sheng, wouldn't their child be almost ready to be born by now?
Unexpectedly, Yin Wenxiao ran into Qin Yu and his wife, who were about to leave.
Qin Yu glared at him coldly, looking like he was about to make a move again, but Madam Qin stopped him.
Madam Qin didn't speak, but she frowned and looked deeply at Yin Wenxiao, a look filled with heartache and disappointment.
"..."
Yin Wenxiao's lips moved slightly, but Qin and her son had already stopped looking at him and left.
He paused, his lips twitched slightly, and continued walking inside, intending to visit his mother at Songliu Courtyard.
But at the hanging flower gate, they ran into Qin Sheng, who was also going to Songliu Courtyard.
The couple looked at each other, as if they had a lot to say, but in the end they were speechless, only looking at each other with mutual dislike.
"Qin Sheng".
Finally, outside Songliu Courtyard, Yin Wenxiao called out to Qin Sheng, "Are you satisfied with things coming to this point?"
"Making a scene?"
Qin Sheng was slightly taken aback, then looked at him with a cold smile, "Yin Wenxiao, you don't still naively believe that the old lady is innocent, do you?"
"And what about you?"
Yin Wenxiao retorted, "You should have known about this all along. You colluded with outsiders to create this mess and put the Yin family in this predicament. Qin Sheng, you truly have the heart of a snake!"
He was referring to Officer Xu.
However, this Officer Xu really had nothing to do with Qin Sheng; she had no idea that Officer Xu would bring people to investigate the forbidden drug.
She had asked her brother earlier, and Qin Yu also found it strange, saying that he had not notified Officer Xu.
Looking back now, it was truly too much of a coincidence that Officer Xu brought his men to investigate the Yin residence today.
But what does this have to do with her? Does Yin Wenxiao think she's conspired with Constable Xu to deal with the Yin family? Ha.
"Your Excellency flatters me, but—"
Qin Sheng sneered at him, "Lord, you think too highly of yourself and the Yin family." After a pause, she added, "However, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. If the Yin family hadn't bought that harmful poison, why would Constable Xu have brought people to investigate?"
With Granny Shi being taken away today, what face does the Yin family have left? I'm afraid Yin Wenxiao will lose his position as the head of the horse training center.
"..."
The title of Earl of Pingyin, which the Yin family had earned with their lives over the past century, will likely be stripped away because of this incident.
In truth, this matter cannot be blamed on Qin Sheng at all.
but---
Now that things have escalated to this point, Yin Wenxiao has no choice but to resent her, because he can't bring himself to hate his own mother.
"When should we write the divorce papers?" Qin Sheng asked.
"What if I don't write it?"
Yin Wenxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. "Qin Sheng, things have come to this point, I won't let you get away so easily."
"what ever."
Qin Sheng took a deep breath. "Yin Wenxiao, it would be best if we could get a divorce, so that we could preserve our last bit of marital affection. If you are unwilling, then I will divorce you!"
"What did you say?" Yin Wenxiao was furious. Without thinking, he raised his hand to strike, but Qin Sheng caught his wrist in time.
Although Yin Wenxiao was a man, Qin Sheng was not weak and vulnerable; she possessed some martial arts skills.
"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
Qin Sheng scoffed, "If word gets out that I'm guilty of murdering my legal wife, don't forget, I can divorce you."
"..."
After saying that, Qin Sheng didn't even bother to go into Songliu Courtyard, leaving Yin Wenxiao, who looked like he was about to collapse, behind, and left with his maid.
Divorce...
Although there had been such a precedent in Da Xiang, if he, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, were to be divorced by a woman...
Then I won't have the face to live the rest of my life!
...
They returned to Zhefang Courtyard.
Emerald and Qiao'er looked at each other, both at a loss for words. So much had happened that day that neither of them knew what to say to the lady.
