Once Chen Wenpo admitted it, Xue could never clear her name. People on the streets and alleys said that Xue had only looked honest for so many years, but was actually a restless person.
Some people even mentioned the time when Xue was almost insulted by gangsters.
After decades, it was brought up again.
Xue was so angry that she was going crazy at home. After the fear she suffered yesterday, she didn't dare to sleep all night. Now, her head was buzzing, and she felt even more haggard when she heard the most trusted steward talking about what was happening outside.
"Where is the master?" She was very confused.
Ma San hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and finally said, "Master said he went to sleep in the study recently and wanted to... be quiet."
"Jing?! I've been with him for so many years, but he still doesn't trust me! He turned his face away from me for such a small matter. Didn't he see the way my daughter-in-law looked at me today?! He didn't know he was helping me but he made trouble! And you, what's wrong with your mother? She took the money to do the job, but now she regrets it! Does she think that telling a few truths to others is atonement? Your mother made the greatest effort to kill Du Xiuxiang!" Xue gritted her teeth and looked at the manager with displeasure.
Ma San lowered his head, with some impatience in his eyes.
He is different now than he was ten years ago. He is in charge of many of Manager Wang's businesses now and can be considered a useful person. He doesn't need to try every possible way to please the woman in front of him like he did ten years ago.
He remained silent and said nothing, and Xue was so angry that she drove him out.
The rumors outside became more and more intense. The relatives of the Wang family came to ask questions, and people from the Xue family also came.
With so many people gathered together, the couple couldn't miss them.
The Wang family members, for the sake of the family, looked at Xue with displeasure. "Sixth Brother, Xue has affected the reputation of the women in the family. Are you really going to do nothing and keep her? Even if you don't care about the children in the family, you have to consider your own children. Don't you know how harsh the talk outsiders have? Some even suspect that your children are not your biological children. Where will you put our Wang family's face?!"
"Besides, what's the difference between Xue and murder? I advise you to end it as soon as possible. You can't keep a woman like this." The patriarch said again.
After hearing this, Boss Wang was also shaken.
He could tolerate his wife having someone else in her heart. After all, that happened a long time ago and it was long gone.
But he couldn't stand the fact that his old wife would deliberately harm others.
He was thinking long-term. He'd been traveling all year long, and his health wasn't as good as his wife's. He was bound to die early. When the time came, his children would be filial to his wife, and they would definitely do whatever she said. But his wife was willing to kill someone for such a small matter. What if something happened in the future that made her want to kill again?!
Wouldn’t it bring trouble to future generations?
After thinking about it, he felt that he really couldn't stay.
However, after years of marriage, he needs to think carefully before divorcing his wife.
At this moment, the people of the Xue family were also looking at Xue viciously.
Mr. Xue from back then has become more mature and steady now, and his wife is also very virtuous. The old lady of the Xue family next to him has a solemn expression on her face.
"You were the one who planned what happened back then!? Xiuxiang hasn't done anything wrong to our Xue family, has she?! You're so cruel, you made me the villain! I only have this one son, and I wanted to marry him the best. Xiuxiang met my expectations in every way, and I had high hopes for her, but you deceived me! I thought I was deceived by her, so I was furious and had a huge fight with the Du family!" Old Madam Xue gritted her teeth, "After all this trouble, I've become a knife in your hand? Have you lost your conscience?!"
