Chapter 359 He Just Did His Job
In the Zen room, Yu Niang was telling Chun Xi about her past in detail.
Yu Niang had recalled these past events countless times in her mind, and when she brought them up again, her expression was calm, neither sad nor happy.
Poisoned and suffering three miscarriages, Yu Niang became thin and haggard, but time never defeats beauty. Her eyes and eyebrows still reveal her former brightness and beauty.
After hearing the whole story, Chunxi asked gently, "What do you want now?"
Yu Niang knelt down, her eyes reddened as she spoke, "He redeemed me back then. This body of injuries and poison is my way of repaying his kindness. I only want to divorce him, get half of his inheritance, live my life in peace, and never see him again in this life."
Unlike other victims, Yu Niang is very independent-minded and calm.
Her feelings for Yu Zhao had long been exhausted, and she knew exactly what she wanted.
Chunxi didn't say anything, but was thinking about the feasibility of dividing the family property in his mind.
According to the laws of Zhaoling, a woman who divorced could take away her dowry, but Yu Niang had once been a prostitute, which was extremely despised. Moreover, the miscarriage had happened a long time ago, and there was no evidence that Yu Zhao had given her an abortion drug. The situation was very unfavorable for Yu Niang.
Chunxi's silence made Yuniang nervous. She couldn't help but say, "Although I fell into prostitution in the past, I was beautiful, played the pipa very well, and danced beautifully. Countless customers came to me because of my fame, and I saved up a lot of money."
"After marrying Yu Zhao, I took out all this money. With this money, Yu Zhao's business quickly took off. Over the years, it was also because of my help in training dancers and expanding his network that Yu Zhao's current wealth is half of what I have. Madam Shen, please understand!"
After saying this, Yu Niang kowtowed heavily.
The skull collided with the stone slab, making a dull sound that made people's hearts tremble, and Chunxi felt an inexplicable "thump" in his heart.
Chunxi didn't show it. She said softly, "According to what you said, it is indeed reasonable for you to get half of his property, but the most important thing right now is to provide evidence."
Yu Niang's shoulders slumped, and she looked dejected. "The brothel madam forbade young ladies from keeping valuables privately. I racked my brains to secretly save up all that money. I can't produce any evidence, and Yu Zhao forbids me from showing my face in public. I told him everything I thought, and he certainly won't admit it now..."
The more Yu Niang spoke, the lower her voice became and the paler her face became.
All the feelings and efforts of so many years have been wasted. No one can bear it.
This situation was indeed very tricky, but Chunxi tried to comfort him: "Everything in this world always has a traceable path. Don't worry, think about it carefully when you get back. I will also arrange for people to help collect evidence as much as possible. The most important thing right now is that you take care of your health first, so that you can wait until the day when the clouds clear and the sun shines."
Chunxi finished speaking and took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to Yu Niang: "This is the antidote prepared for you by the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. Take one pill every three days. It will effectively suppress the toxins in your body."
Chunxi was very calm, and Yu Niang also calmed down. She said gratefully: "Mrs. Shen, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."
"Don't think like that. Nothing is more important than being alive."
Yu Niang couldn't stay long and left quickly.
After she left, Xiao Qinghe walked into the meditation room and said worriedly, "Yu Zhao has been in the business world for many years and is very shrewd. It will be extremely difficult for Yu Niang to get back what belongs to her."
Yu Zhao did everything perfectly, whether it was causing Yu Niang to have a miscarriage or poisoning her, but no substantial evidence has been found so far, let alone proving that his property was half of Yu Niang's.
Chunxi was not worried: "The truth cannot be covered up. As long as Yu Niang is not lying, we will eventually find clues."
Xiao Qinghe felt that Chunxi's attitude was a little strange. After a little thought, she tentatively asked, "Auntie, do you suspect that Yu Niang is lying?"
There were no outsiders here, so Chunxi didn't hide anything. "I just think that Yu Niang has been through a lot in the entertainment industry, has a business acumen that's not inferior to Yu Zhao's, and has slept with Yu Zhao for so many years. It's easier for her to find Yu Zhao's weaknesses than us."
Yes, no one is perfect, and no gold is pure. It is impossible for Yu Zhao to do everything perfectly.
Xiao Qinghe felt relieved, and he and Chunxi listened to the host's lecture together, and had a vegetarian meal before going home.
Xiao Yechen also had a vegetarian meal. When he saw them coming out, he immediately went to greet them. However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the little girl's soft and sweet voice: "Cousin."
Xiao Qinghe turned around and saw no one. The next moment, her legs felt tight and Xie Huaiyin came over and hugged her.
Xiao Qinghe immediately smiled: "Huaiyin, you haven't gone home yet."
Xie Huaiyin took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Qinghe: "My cousin's handkerchief was left here, and Yinyin waited here specially to return it to her."
A handkerchief is a woman's personal item, and Xiao Qinghe is a divorced woman. If Xie Huaiyin is seen holding her handkerchief, it may easily cause misunderstanding.
Xiao Qinghe put away the handkerchief, and her love for Xie Huaiyin increased by two points. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Thank you, Yinyin."
"You're welcome. Daddy is still waiting for me. I have to go now, cousin. See you next time."
Xie Huaiyin let go of Xiao Qinghe, waved to her, and left with the old woman.
Xiao Qinghe stared at Xie Huaiyin for a while, and couldn't help but say to Chunxi: "This child is really well-behaved and sensible. It's a pity that he lost his mother when he was young. It's so pitiful."
"It's quite pitiful."
Chunxi nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yechen on the side secretly clenched his fists.
Xie Zhang acted quickly. First, he used Yu Niang's matter to approach He'er, and now he asked his daughter to gain sympathy.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chunxi say, "I heard that this Lord Xie came here today to mourn his deceased wife. It seems that he has deep feelings for her. I have seen many unfaithful men in the past two years, but it is rare to find someone as loyal as Lord Xie."
Chunxi's words were full of praise. Xiao Yechen gritted his teeth and couldn't help but say, "A married couple should be together through life and death. When a woman dies, her husband is expected to remain a widow. Sir Xie is just doing his duty by remembering his deceased wife."
Since it is part of your job, it is not worthy of praise.
Hearing the hidden meaning in Xiao Yechen's words, Chunxi's eyes flashed with a smile. She nodded and said, "General Xiao is right. I just forgot that General Xiao is also a loyal person. He has been secretly in love with the person he likes for many years and has never changed his mind. If General Xiao can get his wish one day, he will treat the general's wife wholeheartedly and forever."
Chunxi's words were full of ulterior motives and were full of sarcasm.
Xiao Yechen glanced at Xiao Qinghe quickly and said solemnly, "As long as she lives a happy and carefree life, it doesn't matter whether I can get what I want or not."
