Chapter 137: Settling Chaos

Jiang knelt down and said, "Master Ma Ming, I can testify that Feng and Gao are not very filial to mother-in-law. They must have framed her and have no respect for me, their eldest sister-in-law."

"No one respects you, shouldn't you also look for your own reasons?" Gao smiled and said, "Is it possible that because Ah Ying is the legitimate daughter-in-law, she should be the mistress of the family, while you and I are just illegitimate daughters-in-law, so we should bow our heads?"

Old Mrs. Li shuddered and turned around to look at Gao in surprise.

Ma Gaozhan then slapped the wooden pillar and asked, "Xu, are you Xu Yuyao or Xu Qiuniang? Tell the truth, and I may be able to let you off the hook for your old age."

Feng Ying smiled and said, "Old lady... Oh, it should be Aunt Xu. Your uncle has confessed how you killed your mother-in-law and her family. You are just a concubine who has been pretending to be the mistress for 35 years. Today, Alang and I have put things right."

"From now on, all your children will be born out of wedlock. Alang is the only legitimate son in the family, and Silang and Wulang are the eldest sons and grandsons."

"Oh, there's actually no point in telling you all this, because whether you tell me or not, you won't be able to act cool, because you'll go to jail."

Old Madam Li was about to fall. She no longer looked so high and mighty as before. She begged, "Sanlang, don't you believe in me? I raised you..."

"Even if you didn't kill my mother, she would still be able to raise me."

Li Zhengchun found that he had no sympathy for Old Mrs. Li at all.

It was this person who ruined the first half of his life.

"Now I know why you let me take care of the chores at home. It's not that you value me and want to train me, but that you are afraid that I will become successful. I have discovered that you are a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"Third brother!" Li Zhenghe and Li Zhengjiang both scolded Li Zhengchun.

Li Zhengchun pointed at them with an icy look in his eyes: "You two bastards, you took everything from me, I want you to return it all."

"Old lady, you owe me, you owe my mother's life, I will settle it for my mother today. Do you think that I will definitely plead for you just because you raised me?"

"You raised me, and Aye is still alive. If you want to use me, I will never forgive you."

"All your clansmen in Luoyang have come here to testify. You can't get away at all."

"This..." Old Lady Li finally couldn't help herself and burst into tears: "Sanlang, this can't be entirely blamed on me. This is your father's idea. Think about it, how could I hide my identity from the world? Wasn't it your father's idea?"

"I just followed orders. How can a woman have her own ideas?"

Feng Ying and Gao's faces darkened when they heard this. They did not doubt what the old lady said. Li Sansi was still alive at that time. Without his permission, old lady Li would not have been able to go this far.

[So she is innocent? Who knows whether she is innocent or not? She is dead. Let her go to hell and complain to Li Sansi.] Li Jidao snorted calmly.

[For something like this, Li Sansi should have died early. Otherwise, did he think he could have escaped legal punishment?]

"Women don't have their own ideas. How did you let your family destroy the Xu family? How did you hire a midwife to harm people?" Feng Ying sneered at Mrs. Li: "At this point, you still want to quibble? Since it's so unfair, you can only go to the underworld and tell your father-in-law."

Gao said, "I'm afraid that even if she tells it, she will be guilty."

"I……"

"Sanlang! Sanlang!" Old Mrs. Li begged Li Zhengchun. After all, if Li Zhengchun did not pursue the matter, she still had a glimmer of hope.

"Sanlang..."

Feng Ying sighed and said, "Aunt Xu, you have kept your enemy's son until today and have enjoyed thirty-five years of flattery. Now you are asked to kneel down for a moment, and you can't bear it?"

"My dear grandmother died unjustly for 35 years. She died in her best years, and her children didn't even have a chance to see her. What do you think?"

"Your family was starving to death. Your mother-in-law's family took you in out of kindness. Your mother-in-law treated you like a sister. It would be fine if you didn't repay her, but you stole her husband, her son, and killed her whole family. Even God would shake his head when he saw this. How could you have the nerve to beg for mercy?"

"Why should I be embarrassed? Why should I be embarrassed?" Seeing that no one was helping her, Mrs. Li suddenly became furious and asked, "She took me in out of kindness?"

"I am her cousin, I am a relative, I am a guest, but what do her family treat me as? As her follower, as her maid."

"I have to act according to her expression, I have to eat according to her expression, I have to make her laugh every day, do you know that?"

Old Madam Li was furious: "What have I done wrong? We are both daughters of the Xu family, and I am not a slave. Why do I have to be a concubine? Why can she marry a son of an aristocratic family but I can't?"

"My child is also a child, and my son is also very good. Why should I become her bastard and be dominated by her child?"

"If a man does not work for himself, the heavens will punish him and the earth will destroy him. I am not doing this all for myself. I am doing this for my son, my daughter, and my descendants. Even animals know that they should protect their descendants. I am only doing what a human should do. How can I do anything wrong?"

"Why are you so aggressive?"

Old Mrs. Li clenched her fists, her face flushed with anger as she shouted, "It was all fine originally. It's all your fault, Feng Ying, it's all your fault. You unlucky person, if only the third son divorced you, our family wouldn't be in such a mess anymore."

She searched around and finally found Li Zhengchun. She stood up and grabbed Li Zhengchun's sleeve and said, "Sanlang, divorce her, divorce her. Don't you want to be with Amei? A mother will grant you your wish!"

At the last sentence, she burst into tears again: "Sanlang, why do you treat my mother like this?"

"Thirty-five years have passed, and my mother doesn't have many days left to live. Can't we just live like this? Can't we?"

"If, if it's for the sake of the children, then Silang and Wulang were born to Feng Ying, and you don't like them, so why did you restore their identities?"

Li Zhengchun said nothing. She collapsed and knelt at his feet: "Sanlang, why do you treat me like this? We are a family. Isn't it better for us to just live in peace?"

"Now, you will lose your mother, as well as your brothers and sisters. Is it worth it?"

Li Zhengjiang and Li Zhenghe looked at Li Zhengchun angrily: "Third brother, is your mother not good to you at all? You should coax her, coax her!"

Li Zhengchun lowered his eyes and looked at Old Lady Li, then smiled: "Yes, you are not good to me at all."

"Why did you let Erlang snatch Wulang's marriage instead of helping Wulang find a good marriage?"

"Didn't you just say that your child should be treated as a bastard? Maybe it's because you are a concubine."

"Your son doesn't want to be a bastard, and I, the legitimate son, don't want to be one even more."

"I won't do it!"
