Chapter 51 Divorce Letter

Everyone in the room looked at the item Ling Fengxun's men brought in.

It was an ordinary stone brick.

General An looked confused. He looked at Ling Fengxun and said, "My Lord, what is this?"

Ling Fengxun did not speak, but the servant beside him said solemnly, "General, this was picked up from the wall of the secret room. Any experienced craftsman can see that this secret room was built no more than five years ago. It was built recently, and you have lived here for 20 to 30 years, so it is impossible that it was left by the previous owner."

General An: ""

The lie was exposed in front of him, and General An felt his old face flushed and embarrassed.

The atmosphere became more and more depressing. Aunt Liu stopped crying and just lowered her head with sobs.

Madam An asked, "General, how else can you explain?"

General An knew that he was finished.

How could he know when this secret room was built and how could it be found out so accurately?

With cold sweat on his forehead, General An wanted to faint.

But things still had to be faced in the end.

"Madam, yes, I built that secret room. I was wrong to hide it from you, but listen to my explanation. I built that secret room because I was afraid that there would be a place to take refuge if there was a disaster in the mansion one day."

As General An spoke, his eyes became red, and he even raised his hands and began to slap himself left and right.

The slapping sound was crisp and loud.

While slapping himself in the face, he tried to observe Madam An's reaction, but he saw an indifferent face.

"Then the person who wants to harm Yun Xi is you, General?"

General An was stunned. He stopped what he was doing, and his face was already red from being slapped.

In order to make Madam An calm down, he also spent a lot of money this time, and did not hold back when he slapped himself in the face.

"Madam, Yun Xi is my daughter, how could I harm her!"

Madam An asked again.

"But the harmful spices were taken out of the secret room, this is absolutely true."

General An's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Aunt Liu.

He really had no choice, and Madam An didn't even believe his words now.

Aunt Liu received the look from General An, and her heart jumped.

She opened her mouth, her eyes full of panic and tension.

This matter can no longer be pushed onto the general, but she herself can't bear it.

Once she confesses, she will be in great trouble today, and being driven out of the house is the least of her worries .

"I did it!"

Suddenly, an old voice came, and Mrs. An walked in front of everyone and said loudly.

Mrs. An was startled, then raised her head and looked at the other party: "Old lady

, you..." Mrs. An said: "What spices are you talking about? I made them. Are you going to drive me out?" General

An was stunned for a moment: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. An said: "We are all family, what are you making a fuss about? It's not a big deal. You have to disturb the peace of the family. I did it. You can do whatever you want!"

General An was moved, and he looked at his mother with respect.

Fortunately, my mother came to the rescue, otherwise today's interrogation would be difficult to end.

Madam An was so angry that her face turned blue and red.

An Yunxi was not anxious or annoyed. She glanced at Madam An and said, "Madam, do you really admit it?" Madam

An looked unconvinced.

She was the elder in the family. What could An Yunxi do to her?

As a result, An Yunxi smiled and said, "Now that there is evidence, you can arrest people, Your Majesty."

Ling Fengxun did not give any explanation to the confused people present.

He gave the order directly.

"Take her away."

The two guards were prepared. They strode in from the door and grabbed Madam An's arms on the left and right.

Madam An was confused: "What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"

The guard kindly reminded: "Madam, of course we are going to take you to the government. Giving drugs to kill people is a crime that will cost you your life." Madam

An hurriedly shouted: "I won't go, I don't want to go, son, stop them!" General

An couldn't get up from the bed. He was terrified. He raised his head and looked at the Regent with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let my mother go first. It was a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding!"

Ling Fengxun saw that the other party was begging him. He put his hands behind his back and spoke in a cold voice.

"I act according to the law. There are plaintiffs and defendants. How can there be a misunderstanding?"

General An's face turned pale: "Plaintiff? Who is the plaintiff!"

"It's me." An Yunxi walked out unceremoniously.

There was a bit of coldness on her face, and her eyes were emotionless.

Before coming here to cause trouble for General An, An Yunxi had already secretly formulated a series of plans, and this step was just the beginning.

General An was stunned.

"An Yunxi! She is your grandmother."

General An was almost mad to death, staring at An Yunxi with vicious eyes.

An Yunxi smiled: "She admitted that she poisoned me and wanted to harm me, but I don't have such a vicious grandmother. I don't know if the old lady is in such a strong condition. After staying in the prison for a few days, will she go in upright and come out sideways?"

Her words were a bit alarmist.

Old Madam An was still afraid of death. Although she was very brave when she stood up and admitted the crime, she was definitely unwilling to risk her life.

"It's not me, it's not me who drugged!"

The old lady was in a panic, and her old and withered hands were shaking.

She was already thin, and now she was hunched over, looking even more pitiful.

General An was also anxious when he saw his mother was about to be taken away.

"Your Highness, my mother would not do such a thing. It is impossible that she did it. Please investigate!"

He subconsciously pleaded for his mother.

Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is that?"

"Yes"

The room was extremely quiet.

General An could hear the sound of his heart beating wildly.

He glanced at Aunt Liu, and then at Madam An, and was unable to make a decision for a while.

Aunt Liu trembled at the corner of her lips, but at the moment when General An was about to speak, she said: "The medicine was actually given by me."

She stood up from the ground with determination in her eyes.

Aunt Liu shook General An's hand vigorously, with a little determination and pleading in her eyes.

But she said nothing. Under General An's gaze, she turned around and spoke to the people around her.

"Don't arrest the old lady, arrest me."

An Yunxi smiled and said, "You are lying. You just said that you don't know anything. Old Lady An is the one who drugged her."

Aunt Liu bit her lip.

If the old lady was arrested and something really happened outside, General An would definitely resent her for it.

But now if she took the initiative to confess and save the old lady, General An would definitely think she was sensible, and would still care about her and find a way to save her.

At most, she would suffer for two days in prison.

Aunt Liu felt like a prey ready to fall into a trap.

She knew that the trap ahead was prepared for her, but she still had to jump in.

She lowered her head and whispered, "That's not medicine, but a spice called Hanzhixiang. It won't kill people, but it will make it difficult for people to get pregnant. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out."

An Yunxi walked closer to Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu felt a shadow looming over her and almost subconsciously took a few steps back.

She raised her head vigilantly and looked at the girl in front of her who made her feel extremely strange.

An Yunxi asked, "Why did you do this?"

"Because" Aunt Liu pursed her lips, "Because I hate the eldest lady, so I want to destroy the eldest lady."

As she said this, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground, tears falling continuously.

"The eldest lady is too outstanding. Ruxue can't compare to her at all. That's why I was jealous of Madam and the eldest lady, and that's why I did such a wrong thing. Please forgive my momentary confusion!"

Madam An angrily scolded: "Your momentary confusion will ruin my daughter's life!"

Aunt Liu came to Madam An on her knees, raised her head pitifully, and pleaded with tears on her face: "Madam, I was bewitched. Considering that I saved your life, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"

"If this lady lets you go, who will let my daughter go? If she is discovered in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable. Come on, drag her out and don't let her set foot in the general's mansion again!"

The guards over there let go of the old lady and dragged Aunt Liu away.

Aunt Liu's voice begging for mercy kept echoing at the door, but General An remained silent, watching everything without saying a word. Madam

An's legs went weak and she almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, a servant came over and helped her sit on a chair in the room.

General An finally spoke, with a weak look on his face, and said softly: "Madam, now that the culprit has been found, is this matter over? Calm down and don't get hurt. You see, I am also seriously injured now, and I can't get up to comfort you, madam."

Madam An felt as if a needle was stabbing her heart when she saw how miserable he described her.

The more General An acted like this, the more painful it would be for her.

She shook her head: "General, let's get a divorce."

These five words seemed to weigh as heavy as a thousand pounds between her lips and teeth.

But the moment she said it, Madam An felt that she felt a little relieved.

At this moment, General An widened his eyes in disbelief.

He didn't even know where he got the strength from, but he had already climbed out of the bed.

Even though his face was distorted due to severe pain, he staggered two steps and grabbed Madam An's wrist.

"Madam, what did you say!"

An Yunxi pulled her mother back, causing General An to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

He looked like a wolf.

Madam An gritted her teeth, but spoke clearly: "I want to get a divorce from you!"

General An felt that his mind was blank, and he even had some stars in his eyes.

He said in disbelief: "You, want to divorce me?"

"Yes, you built a secret room privately and joined hands with the concubine to harm my daughter. I can't stand this!"

An Yunxi encouraged her mother: "Also, the snake poison you were infected with before was also put by Aunt Liu. He kept such a woman with a heart as vicious as a snake at home. He had no intention of living a good life with you. He wanted to harm you and take everything from you!"

Mrs. An's heart became colder.

She nodded, her face pale, but very firm.

"I will write the divorce letter and send someone to deliver it to you, General. I will leave tomorrow morning."

An Yunxi said quickly, "Mom, why do you want to leave? This is your home. I heard that this general's mansion was given to you by your grandfather. General An was just a second-rate deputy general before. He didn't even have his own mansion. If anyone wants to move out, he should be the one to move out!"

Mrs. An nodded slightly, "Xier is right. This mansion is mine. It's your turn to leave tomorrow."

General An bit his lip and blood oozed from the corners of his lips.

"Madam, you and I have been together for decades, and our children don't know about this big thing. How can you be so arbitrary and say such a thing?"

Madam An shook her head: "I am not arbitrary, but I have thought about it for a long time. I cannot forgive any of the things you did."

"What have I done, Madam? Tell me with all your conscience. As a husband and a father for so many years, I have done everything perfectly. No one can find fault with me. Madam, go ask everyone outside whether I have done a good enough job!"

Madam An gritted her teeth and looked at General An.

If it weren't for her daughter's repeated reminders, she really couldn't see how unfeeling General An was to her and her daughter.

"Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, you are loyal to the emperor and love your country, love your wife and daughter, never socialize outside, and don't have three wives and four concubines. You are undoubtedly a good man."

General An's eyes were full of hope. His eyes widened and his tone pleaded: "Then what are you dissatisfied with, Madam? I did something wrong, but no one in the world is perfect. You have to give me a chance."

Madam An stepped back and moved further away from General An.

She and he had four children, and they had been in love for decades, but she was the stupidest one.

She had been stupid for decades and couldn't be stupid anymore. In the end, she hurt herself and her children.

"But in my eyes, when I was pregnant with Yun Xi, you had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter outside, and brought them home. I even foolishly believed that Aunt Liu saved me in the icy lake."

General An said, "Madam, so many years have passed. So many people witnessed Aunt Liu saving you. Even if Aunt Liu did something wrong, you can't kill her all. Outsiders will definitely say that you are repaying kindness with enmity." Madam An looked

indifferent: "Obviously, it's all fake. You and Aunt Liu deliberately deceived me. It's just a show!"

General An asked back: "Madam, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

This question made Madam An pause.

It has been so many years since the incident, how can she produce any evidence.

"What if there is no evidence? It's good enough for me to know the truth."

General An suddenly laughed, and his laughter was very bitter: "Madam, when did you become like this? Because of someone's words, you doubted me like this, and you want to divorce me after decades of relationship, and forget the life-saving grace, and you find such excuses to comfort yourself, saying that you have not repaid kindness with enmity."

Seeing the extremely sad expression on her mother's face, An Yunxi snatched the divorce letter from the nanny next to her.

In order to avoid more trouble at night, An Yunxi threw the divorce letter directly in front of General An.

"Don't talk nonsense, my mother has made up her mind, General An, please press your fingerprints."
