Shen Zhaoshu found Qian Fucheng's relatives and friends and asked them to go to Qian Fucheng's family in a big way, and go to Jingzhao Yin to report the disappearance of Qian Fucheng's family of six again, and asked Jingzhao Yin to investigate the case. It has been too long, and they want to see the people alive or dead.
The incident became such a big deal that Dong Rouer soon heard the news.
As for the money scam, it was done by her, Duke Rong and his eldest son together, but the murder of Qian Fucheng's family of four was done by her herself who hired gangsters to do it.
Duke Rong originally wanted Dong Rouer to pay the money as hush money, but Dong Rouer was not happy about it. She ignored Duke Rong's words and asked someone to kill Qian Fucheng.
The cost is much cheaper than the huge sum of money Qian Fucheng asked for. Since buying his life is cheaper, why not choose the cheap and permanent one?
Now, Dong Rouer has to reconsider this matter for the sake of her child.
If it is discovered that she has hired a killer and the child is with her in a female household, then whether she is sentenced to death or exile to hard labor, the child will be with her.
She would be exiled and forced to do hard labor. If she were executed, her children would be sent to the government slave court, waiting to be sold, and would be enslaved for life...
Now that the situation is so tense, the only way is to take advantage of this moment to quickly let the child recognize his ancestral roots, change his surname to be included in the double family tree, and become the legitimate son of Duke Rong. Then, whether her affairs are exposed or hidden in the future, it will be beneficial to the child.
She thought about it. Although Duke Rong was involved in the money scam, it was his wife's money after all, and he was a duke. Even if the case was exposed, it would only mean a loss of reputation or compensation for Duke Rong, and he would probably be able to get away with it.
After much thought, it is better for my son to follow Duke Rong as soon as possible.
So when Duke Rong came to visit her, the concubine Dong Rouer insisted on sending her son to the Rongguo Mansion immediately to recognize his ancestors.
Duke Rong was trying to wear Chen Yu out and force her to give up all her dowry, and the situation was getting very serious.
How could Chen Yu agree to register the child under her own name when she had broken up with her husband and son?
The eldest son of Duke Rong felt that he had an opportunity and said to Duke Rong, since mother was determined to divorce, why not let mother register his younger brother under her name before the divorce? Once his younger brother was included in the double genealogy and became the legitimate son, you can divorce mother.
The eldest son went to Chen Yu's house and told her about the matter. He then told his mother, "If father wants to negotiate a divorce on the condition that we open a clan temple and register the child in your name, mother, for my sake, please make another request to have me named a crown prince.
My father is not necessarily a man of his word. If you make your concubine's son your legitimate son and he doesn't agree to a divorce, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?
We should let him ask for a title for me first. Once my business is done, you can adopt him as your legitimate son. This way, we won't suffer any loss.
Even if he doesn't agree to your divorce, I'm the Crown Prince, and I'll naturally inherit the Rong Mansion in the future. When I become the Duke of Rong Mansion, I'll do whatever Mother wants."
Chen Yu told these words to Chen Zhaoshu again. Seeing that he went to report to the authorities with such great momentum, he realized that the method of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" really worked. In order to force Dong Rouer again, Chen Zhaoshu took a two-pronged approach and reported to the government the fact that Duke Rong and his son and his concubine had cheated Chen Yu of her dowry.
But in fact, Shen Zhaoshu knew that the current evidence of this fraud could not bring down Duke Rong, or even the concubine, and could only ruin their reputation.
According to the information Wang Lingyi found out, Qian Fucheng had actual evidence, which he used to threaten Dong Rouer, but no one knew where the evidence was now.
Although the three detectives witnessed the astonishing actions of Duke Rong and his son and their mistress, they knew that they took advantage of Chen Yu's illness and the intelligence of a child to defraud her of her money.
But because the house was actually under Shen Zhaoshu's name at the time, that is to say, in the end of the fraud, Duke Rong and his son and his concubine did not get a penny.
According to the current laws of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, no crime can be convicted, firstly because Duke Rong and Chen Yu are husband and wife, and secondly because there is no substantial damage.
And the money they had cheated in the past still needed evidence of that fraud to prove that the houses, land, and jewelry were all obtained by fraud.
Therefore, Shen Zhaoshu is now pushing the two cases with great momentum, all in order to force Dong Rouer to go to Duke Rong again and help Shen Yu get a divorce as soon as possible, and she has never thought of using this to bring them down.
As expected, after both cases became a hot topic, Dong Rouer cried and made a fuss in front of Duke Rong, who had no choice but to come to Chen Yu.
He wanted to register his concubine's son under Shen Yu's name, and the couple jointly opened the ancestral hall and changed the family tree.
Following Zhao Shu's idea, Chen Yu proposed that the Rongguo Mansion compare her dowry list and return all the dowry to her independent female household account. After doing this, she agreed to open a clan temple and register her concubine's son under her own name.
Duke Rong did not expect that the condition proposed by Chen Yu was not divorce, but money. It seemed that Chen Yu had also figured it out. As long as the legitimate son was established first, whether divorce was possible was another matter.
Originally, Duke Rong had planned to let her take in the legitimate son first, and then drag out the divorce until she gave up her dowry.
But now Chen Yu also expected that he might not keep his promise, so this forced Duke Rong to go back and raise money first.
Duke Rong first put pressure on each family to return some shops, farms and land that they had taken from Chen Yu.
However, the various branches were unwilling to make up for the money spent over the years. Duke Rong had no choice but to find Dong Rouer again and ask her to take out a part of the dowry to complete the dowry list so that his son could return to his ancestral home.
Although Dong Rouer was heartbroken, Rong Guoan comforted her and said that as long as their child became a legitimate son, he would definitely let Dong Rouer's child become the crown prince in the future.
The title of Duke Rong is also left to this child, so in the future the entire Rongguo Mansion will belong to our child. For the sake of the child, let's give some money now.
So Dong Rouer also took out some of the money to complete Chen Yu's dowry list. When this part of the money and the farm and shop that were to be taken back changed owners and names, they all fell into the hands of Chen Yu's independent female household.
Shen Zhaoshu asked the business contract agent and the lawyer who specialized in this to review everything again. After confirming that there was no problem,
According to what Shen Zhaoshu said, Shen Yu asked Duke Rong to write her a document, which stated that in the future, no matter whether the couple continued to be husband and wife or divorced or Duke Rong divorced Shen Yu in any other way, all of Shen Yu's dowry would belong to Shen Yu alone.
Duke Rong had no choice. The money and the shop had already been given out. He couldn't let it get stuck here again at the last moment. Wouldn't the money have been given in vain?
So he signed the document again, and Shen Zhaoshu even asked a lawyer to file the document.
Then Chen Yu sent someone to convey a message to Duke Rong, and she agreed to do it as soon as possible. She could cooperate at any time to adopt this concubine's son as the legitimate son.
