Chapter 446 He was divorced
"Shut up! Stop crying." She yelled loudly. Zheng Jiaojiao forgot to cry after being scolded like that.
She stared blankly at Old Mrs. Zheng, tears sliding down her pointed chin, looking so pitiful.
Old Lady Zheng was helped up by the nanny and sat on the chair. She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao seriously, "What did you do? Xiaoci would not hurt anyone for no reason."
Zheng Jiaojiao was choked, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, and she felt extremely angry.
She was really biased. Seeing Zheng Ci almost trying to kill herself, Old Lady Zheng actually blamed her and asked about her crime first. Shouldn't someone stop Zheng Ci first?
Grandma doesn't care about herself at all.
"I, I didn't do anything." She lowered her head guiltily, her eyelids full of calculation.
Yes, as long as she refuses to admit it, Zheng Ci will have no way to deal with her.
She did this perfectly, and even if the other party suspected her, they would not be able to find any evidence.
She lowered her head, not noticing the confusion and disgust in Old Lady Zheng's eyes.
The wrinkles on Old Lady Zheng's face deepened. She looked at Zheng Ci and said, "She must have done something to anger you. Tell me, and I will take care of this matter for you."
"Grandmother," Zheng Ci said calmly, "Zheng Jiaojiao and He Shi intended to harm my son. I was so angry that I wanted to kill them with a sword."
Pei Ji's eyes were indifferent. He respected Zheng Ci's grandmother, but that didn't mean he was timid.
He took a step forward, his authority evident. "Grandma, we have solid evidence on this matter. I hope you will handle it impartially."
Old Lady Zheng frowned and sighed, "Don't worry, you all feel the same way in my eyes. I won't hurt your feelings just to protect some evil disciples. If the evidence is conclusive, I will definitely not protect her. But...you absolutely cannot shout about fighting and killing in this house."
Zheng Jiaojiao shouted anxiously: "Grandma!!"
If the only one who can protect me is my grandmother, is she going to abandon me?
Just for Zheng Ci!
"Shut up!" Old Lady Zheng continued to look at Zheng Ci, "I think you have already investigated everything thoroughly this time."
Zheng Ci: "Yes, my granddaughter found out that the husband of my wet nurse met a gambler in a gambling house a few days ago. It turned out that the man was the steward of the second house, who was disguised and deliberately approached him. He even gave him a sum of money to pay off his gambling debts. He only asked the husband to give a bracelet to my wet nurse."
Zheng Jiaojiao shuddered, her face full of shock.
It was impossible for the steward to be discovered. The gambler had only met the steward once, so how could he know him?
"Bracelet?" Old Mrs. Zheng frowned. "What bracelet?"
Zheng Ci walked forward and handed the bracelet to Old Lady Zheng for a closer look.
“This is…” Old Mrs. Zheng’s eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
"It seems that grandma has seen the key to this."
Zheng Ci suppressed her anger. If it weren't for Old Lady Zheng, she would have killed Zheng Jiaojiao and been done with it. She had troubled her and the others so many times, and now she was so cruel as to attack her only son. She couldn't let Zheng Jiaojiao stay with her.
"Yes, this bracelet is filled with a very cold medicine. If a woman wears it all the time, the cold will enter her body. When the wet nurse breastfeeds, the cold will flow through the milk and reach Hu Zi. Alas." Old Lady Zheng looked at Zheng Jiaojiao, "You are not stupid, but you have never used your intelligence in the right way. That's why it has come to this..."
She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao silently, her face full of gloom and disappointment.
It seemed that not allowing her to enter the palace was the right decision. With such a cruel and ruthless heart, who knows how many people she would have harmed in the palace.
Thinking that such a person came from their Zheng family, Old Mrs. Zheng felt heartbroken.
It's so against the will of heaven!
"I, I didn't! I didn't do this. Zheng Ci framed me."
Zheng Ci glanced at her calmly, "You think you did it perfectly? But you missed a chance. The people in the gambling house are all very discerning. The manager you found will be remembered by the gambling house as soon as he shows up. Do you want me to find someone from the gambling house to identify your second house manager and you will plead guilty?"
Now Zheng Jiaojiao was really at her wit's end and had no tears to cry.
How could she know that there were so many capable people in the gambling house? She remembered them just by taking a look.
At this time, He rushed in, knelt down in front of Old Mrs. Zheng with a plop, and kowtowed desperately.
The forehead that was just snow-white was suddenly oozing blood.
Her hair was messy, and she didn't care about her manners at the moment. She begged for mercy: "Mom, Jiaojiao is innocent. This has nothing to do with her."
"Mom!" Zheng Jiaojiao was shocked.
"Shut up!" He knelt on the ground, her forehead pressed against the cold stone, tears streaming down her face. "Mother, this was all my daughter-in-law's idea. He Jiaojiao had nothing to do with it. This is all my fault. I beg you to forgive Jiaojiao. She's your granddaughter."
Zheng Jiaojiao burst into tears.
She knew that her mother had taken all the responsibility on herself.
She was so heartbroken that she was crying, and her eyes became more and more fierce as she looked at Zheng Ci.
Zheng Ci simply ignored it and looked at He thoughtfully.
At this moment, neither Zheng Jiaojiao nor He Shi could escape responsibility. She was just sighing that someone like He Shi would actually risk everything for her daughter.
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Old Lady Zheng slammed the small table. "If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. If I had known this, I should have raised Jiaojiao by my side. Going back further, I shouldn't have let the second son marry you. You've caused unrest in our family."
At this time, Zheng Lang also arrived, and the situation before him was clear at a glance.
He poisons people and is cruel and ruthless.
However, Jiaojiao is his daughter after all. She is good-looking. Even if she does not enter the palace, she can be chosen as his wife in a wealthy family in the future.
He made the decision almost instantly to protect Zheng Jiaojiao and give up on He.
Zheng Lang lifted his robe and knelt, straightening his back. "Mother, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble because I haven't managed He properly. This was all done by He alone. Jiaojiao is still young and definitely wouldn't have come up with such a vicious plan. Please punish He and spare Jiaojiao."
He's kneeling back trembled, and a chill spread throughout her body.
As husband and wife, although they did not support each other through thick and thin, they were deeply in love with each other.
This is when the incident happened, and Zheng Lang couldn't wait to give up on her. Even though He had already prepared herself mentally, she still felt a pang of pain at this moment.
There was panic, confusion and pain in his eyes.
"Second brother, have you thought it through? When will she finally be your legal wife?"
"Son has thought it through. Mother, please punish He." Zheng Lang said sternly and righteously, and the disappointment in Old Mrs. Zheng's eyes became even greater.
The He family is not a good person, and Zheng Lang is even less so.
At least he is not a good husband.
Leaving He behind at this moment is nothing more than avoiding suspicion.
Old Lady Zheng closed her eyes, then opened them after a while. "Since that's the case, He, from today on, you are no longer a member of the Zheng family."
