Chapter 447 He hangs himself
"Grandma!" Zheng Jiaojiao shouted.
"Yes!" He's tears fell, her eyes empty.
"Xiao Ci, what do you think?" Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Ci.
This is to ask her opinion and whether she is satisfied with the handling of the matter.
Zheng Ci was satisfied. Compared to killing Zheng Jiaojiao and He, being divorced and leaving the Zheng family would probably cause He and Zheng Jiaojiao more pain. He's life wouldn't be easy if she were divorced and returned to her parents' home. With the second house without a mistress, Zheng Lang was young and would definitely remarry.
Zheng Jiaojiao's identity is so embarrassing.
All the former dignity and respectability are gone.
This is the greatest punishment.
Zheng Ci knew it was impossible to take the lives of both of them, so this was already the best outcome.
"Grandma, your granddaughter has no objection to this disposal."
Zheng Jiaojiao, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly looked at her with hatred, "Of course you have no objection. You harmed my mother. Do you know what kind of life my mother will have if she is divorced? You have such a cruel heart."
"Heartless?" Zheng Ci raised her chin, her expression cold. "When you wanted to kill my son, did you ever think about the consequences of being caught? What qualifications do you have to accuse me of being cruel?"
Zheng Jiaojiao was still biting her lips, looking at Zheng Ci with almost hatred.
How could she know her own mistakes? She only hated herself for not being careful enough and being discovered by Zheng Ci.
If I had known this earlier, I would have been more careful and thorough, and Zheng Ci would not have discovered it.
"He, pack up and leave tomorrow."
He was already numb. She kowtowed stiffly and stood up shakily, as if she would faint at any moment.
She was hit hard.
From being the second wife of Duke Zheng, she instantly became an abandoned woman.
Heaven and earth are all in one thought.
"Grandma, please don't let my mother leave. She won't be able to survive." Zheng Jiaojiao cried and hugged Grandma Zheng's legs, begging for mercy.
"If I don't punish her, how will she realize her mistake? She poisoned someone, and not only her own family! If anything happens to Hu Zi, even if your mother gives her life, it won't be enough!"
"Grandma, you are biased, you are biased! Huzi is fine now, he is still alive, why do you want to divorce my mother?"
"You mean, you still hope that something bad will happen to Hu Zi?"
"I...that's not what I meant." Zheng Jiaojiao pursed her lips.
That was what she meant. She hoped Hu Zi would die. Zheng Ci cared so much about her son. If Hu Zi died, she would definitely be heartbroken. She wanted to see Zheng Ci sad so much.
The more pain Zheng Ci felt, the happier she was.
"Humph, I don't care what you mean. You may think I'm biased or unfair. In our Zheng family, if we do something, we have to pay the price."
After saying this, she looked at the nanny and said, "Go and watch He Shi pack up. Please come early tomorrow and send her back to her parents' home. Tell the He family what she has done."
Now, He's eyes finally focused, tears trickling down her cheeks, she cried out, "Mother, do you really want me to die?"
If the He family knew that she was divorced for doing such a thing, she would just wait for death.
The He family would not want a daughter like her who had been divorced and had a bad reputation to return home.
Old Mrs. Zheng looked away. She was not a cruel person.
But when you do something, you have to bear the consequences. Otherwise, wouldn’t the victim be too pitiful?
Seeing that Old Lady Zheng ignored her, He turned to look at Zheng Lang.
After Zheng Lang looked at her, he looked away and pretended not to see.
"You, you really don't care about me that much?" A stiff arc appeared at the corner of He's lips.
"You are too vicious."
"I'm vicious? I'm vicious, hahahahaha..."
He suddenly laughed wildly, as if he had gone crazy.
Zheng Jiaojiao shrank her neck in fear and whispered, "Mom..."
"What did you say at the beginning? You said you would protect me, love me, and marry me without making me sad. But what did you do?" He's eyes were empty as she cried. "The next year, you took a concubine, and then one after another. You stayed in the concubine's room and didn't come to the main room once a month. You are a liar."
Zheng Lang felt embarrassed after being scolded.
Zheng Lang felt humiliated and furious when he was scolded by the abandoned woman He in front of his mother, niece and nephew.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about! It's all your fault. You're unromantic, not gentle enough, and you're old and ugly." Zheng Lang raged. "I never disliked you. I just took a concubine. Why is that wrong? Who in the capital doesn't take a concubine? You're jealous, jealous! You deserve to be divorced."
He looked at him coldly, her tears had dried up, and her heart died along with her tears.
She stood up unsteadily and walked out alone, ignoring Zheng Jiaojiao's shouting behind her.
Old Mrs. Zheng frowned and looked at her back, "Second brother, go look after He."
Zheng Lang said reluctantly: "I won't go to see her. She did something like this, how can she still have the shame?"
Seeing him so ruthless, Old Mrs. Zheng sighed.
How could she give birth to such a heartless, ungrateful and mean second son?
Everyone in the mansion had the right to criticize He Shi, except the second son. He had indeed not treated He Shi well enough and had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.
Let her feel bitter, and as she feels bitter, she will change.
This is a confusing account.
Injustice.
That night, He hanged himself.
The next day, she was discovered by the nanny hired by Old Lady Zheng. She was alone in the room, having hanged herself quietly.
She died alone without her husband or daughter by her side.
Old Mrs. Zheng did not tell anyone that He had died, she only said that He was in poor health and had passed away.
Zheng Ci in the house heard the news and was stunned for a moment before he regained his composure.
Continue looking at the account book in your hand.
"It's really easy for her to let her hang herself so directly." Wanxiang muttered while grinding ink in her hands.
"She reaped the fruits of her own labor. However, she took all the blame, while Zheng Jiaojiao remained unharmed."
Zheng Ci finished writing the last stroke, gently blew the ink dry, picked it up and said, "Send this letter. I didn't expect Le Yi and him to really get married."
She smiled gently, thinking of the contents of Le Yi's letter.
Le Yi had insisted on following Lin Huo to his new post, and over the years, Lin Huo had gradually come to accept Le Yi. The two of them were now happily married, waiting only to return to Beijing for their wedding.
Zheng Ci thought of the fact that Le Yi still didn't know what happened to Prince Yu and the imperial concubine, and she became worried again.
Seeing her own mother and brother end up like this, she must feel bad.
Since it wasn't mentioned in the letter, Lin Huo probably didn't have the heart to tell her. Otherwise, given Lin Huo's current position, it's impossible for him not to know everything that happened in the capital.
What's more, it is a matter of changing the ownership of the country.
Le Yi said that she would return to Beijing next year and she had a lot to talk to Zheng Ci about, and her letter was full of anticipation.
Speaking of which, it has been a year since Le Yi and Lin Huo passed away. Time passed so quickly that she didn't even have time to sigh.
