Chapter 289 Zeng Mingzhu was divorced
Mrs. Zeng was almost dying of anxiety. "Mingzhu, calm down. Talk to mother slowly."
Zeng Mingzhu: "She should have been the one in trouble today. She and that couple surnamed Qi should have been caught. It should have been her, not me!"
"W-what?"
"It should be her! I saw her drink the tea with my own eyes, and she fainted. Oh, Cuixiang was there too, right, Cuixiang? She fainted, so why did it become me later? Why did it become me? Cuixiang, is this you?"
"Madam, I'm innocent!" Cuixiang sank to her knees. "I don't know what happened. I fainted, and when I woke up, I saw—I don't know anything."
"Yes, how could you faint? Why did you faint? It must have been Xu Zhichun, no, it was Zeng Xiaoyan, it must have been that bitch! They didn't believe me at all, they teamed up to fool me! How dare they? I won't let them off!"
Zeng Mingzhu cursed with gritted teeth, then suddenly laughed out loud, becoming more and more crazy.
Mrs. Zeng was so frightened that she kept calling out, "Mingzhu! Mingzhu! Wake up!" It took a lot of effort to persuade her.
But I couldn't ask her any questions. If I did, she would get excited and her words would be incoherent, making it hard to understand and even more frustrating. If I asked her again, she would go crazy again.
Mrs. Zeng was extremely tired.
She had no choice but to give up, comfort Zeng Mingzhu to sleep, and interrogate Cuixiang alone.
"Honestly, if I find out there's a single typo later, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Hurry up and tell me."
Cuixiang groaned inwardly, closed her eyes, and had to tell the truth.
This matter has become like this. What else can I do if I don't tell the truth? Anyway, I can't be more embarrassed. She regrets now. She regrets not persuading the eldest young lady at the time and even instigating her to say so many things.
Now she didn't know how the lady would punish her.
The more Mrs. Zeng listened, the angrier she became. Halfway through, she couldn't help but yell at Cuixiang, "You stupid thing! You dare to do anything!"
After Cuixiang finished speaking, Madam Zeng's head was buzzing. "How could she be so confused? How could you be so confused too! Is Mrs. Xu so easy to deceive? And that little bitch Zeng Xiaoyan, you have been with the eldest lady since she was a child. Wouldn't you think twice about her momentary confusion? Don't you know what kind of person Zeng Xiaoyan is? She is the most cunning and insidious, and has always been at odds with the eldest lady. How could you trust her so easily? You, you really deserve it!"
Cuixiang trembled and could only beg for mercy.
Before Mrs. Zeng finished her outburst, Mr. Zeng came in angrily.
"Cui Xiang, get out!"
"You taught your daughter well, and now she's in this state. Tell me what to do! It's so embarrassing!"
Mrs. Zeng was in tears and heartbroken: "Master, things have come to this. It's useless for you to be angry and scold us. It's better to think of a way to solve it properly."
"Haha! Why don't you tell me how to solve this problem? I finally understand. This person is courting death and is determined to walk down the road to death. No one can stop him! It's just a pity that she has implicated my whole family!"
"master!"
"Don't call me anymore. The Qi family will definitely not let this go. Think about how to end this in a decent way."
Madam Zeng's face turned pale. "My son-in-law is also at fault in this matter. Are we solely to blame Mingzhu? Does the Qi family want to divorce my wife?"
Master Zeng sneered, "If your daughter-in-law did something like this, would you divorce her?"
Mrs. Zeng was furious: "How can this be the same?"
"Why is it different?"
"This—I just asked Cuixiang. It was clearly the son-in-law who hadn't learned his lesson. He had set his eyes on that bitch Xu Zhichun from Liangjia Village and was determined to seduce her. If he hadn't forced Mingzhu to think of a solution for him, Mingzhu wouldn't have gone astray out of anger. Why is it that now that something has happened, everything is being put on Mingzhu's head? I don't accept it! The Qi family wants to divorce Mingzhu for this, they're dreaming!"
Mr. Zeng's expression changed: "Is what Cuixiang said true?"
The father and son tried their best to appease their son-in-law, apologized countless times, and listened to countless vicious curses from their son-in-law, but they had no idea that the instigator was actually their son-in-law.
Madam Zeng sneered: "If Cuixiang still dares to lie at this time, I can make her live a life worse than death."
Master Zeng's face darkened and he slapped the coffee table in anger, "This is too much."
Madam Zeng took advantage of the situation and said, "Master, you must not let the Qi family divorce Mingzhu!"
She actually wanted to mention Zeng Xiaoyan and Xu Zhichun as well; they certainly couldn't be let off either. However, her daughter's future was clearly more important, so she had to hold back for now and deal with them after she had finished negotiating with the Qi family.
Anyway, they can't escape.
Mr. Zeng asked his son to talk to his son-in-law, but the two of them couldn't reach an agreement at all and parted on bad terms.
Young Master Qi was so angry that he left Zeng's house alone and returned to Qingyang County early the next morning.
You've lost all your face, why are you still here? Are you going to make a fool of yourself?
What he didn't expect was that within just one day, the news had spread throughout Qingyang County. The entire Qi family was horrified, and his parents were furious. They really wanted to send someone to Qingshan County to call him back for detailed questioning.
Young Master Qi is completely numb.
It turns out the news isn't just spreading across Qingshan County, it's spreading across Qingyang County too! Who on earth is so quick to spread the news?
What happened yesterday at noon has spread like this today!
How unlucky he is!
Of course, he didn't know that Captain Yu had contributed to this.
Apart from Captain Yu, who else has the ability and channels to make him famous so quickly?
Young Master Qi didn't even dare to leave the house.
The Qi family was almost mad with anger.
Young Master Qi was scolded terribly.
Zeng Mingzhu was not present, but she didn't get any good results either. She definitely didn't want this daughter-in-law.
Mr. and Mrs. Qi were too lazy to come out, so they ordered the housekeeper to send a divorce letter to the Zeng family in Qingshan County, along with Zeng Mingzhu's dowry.
The Qi family would not take advantage of such a thing.
The Zeng family was furious. Zeng Mingzhu had expected this to happen. Her eyes were vicious, but she didn't say a word.
Madam Zeng angrily complained to the Qi family's housekeeper, "You Qi family are too bullying! Too bullying!"
The Qi family's housekeeper looked disdainful and did not argue with Mrs. Zeng. Instead, he chose to bow and say goodbye.
How can a daughter brought up by such a family be considered a lady? It's really shameful. He would feel dirty if he looked at her for even one more moment.
Mrs. Zeng wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Mr. Zeng.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
Even if the root of this matter lies with the eldest son of the Qi family, so what? He is a man, and in such matters, he is naturally at an advantage; women always suffer more.
"Master, are you just going to let it go like this? Why would the Qi family do this?"
"Do you still have the nerve to come and argue? Bring this up again?"
Mrs. Zeng choked, "But they are too bullying."
"It's fine if she's at home, but if we send her back to the Qi family, will she be able to survive?"
