Chapter 14. Jealous Madam Zhao
"Mrs. Zhao."
Chen Zhehan frowned.
This woman seems to be well-behaved, but in fact she has a lot of ulterior motives. If his wife had not felt sorry for her remarriage and asked him to take care of her, he would have kicked her out long ago.
"No, let her go back."
There was no way to hide the look of disgust in Chen Zhehan's eyes. After the butler received the order, he was about to go and reply when the voice of the Book of Life and Death rang in Yunhua's mind.
[Xiao Huahua, this Madam Zhao is a vicious character. She bribed Madam Yang, who was by Madam Chen's side, and everything was arranged according to her plan.]
[Mrs. Zhao? Who is she, and what is her relationship with the Chen family?] Yunhua looked bewildered.
The Book of Life and Death states: [Mrs. Chen's younger half-sister, who was married once before but had no children, was divorced and remarried to a small merchant and became his stepmother. She was jealous that Mrs. Chen lived a better life than she did.]
She had two plans: one was to have a premature birth, resulting in two deaths; the other was to replace the child if Mrs. Chen was lucky enough to survive, so she could make her suffer for the rest of her life.
Yunhua knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
She is mentally twisted and can't stand others being better than herself.
"Wait, let her wait in the main hall."
Chen Zhehan stopped the housekeeper with a gloomy expression. He planned to deal with this woman himself.
"Little Shushu, look at Master Chen's face. He looks like he's constipated. Could it be that this Madam Zhao is to blame?"
[Possibly.] The Book of Life and Death isn't even bothering to check on Chen Zhehan right now; this person is beyond its purview. So be it.
To secure her spot as the top eater, Yunhua chased after him, chatting with the Book of Life and Death as they walked: [Xiao Shushu, tell me, if I hadn't snatched this child back, what would have happened to her?]
The Book of Life and Death considered the little girl's original fate and said: "That evil woman had originally planned to throw her into a brothel, but something went wrong and she ended up in a nunnery. When she grew up, she was kidnapped by bandits and died tragically in the mountains at the age of 18."
Chen Zhehan's hand shook and he almost dropped his little daughter to the ground.
When he thought about his daughter's future, he hated Mrs. Zhao with gnashing teeth.
[She's so miserable.] Yunhua couldn't help but sigh: [What about that fake daughter? What's her future like?]
At this time, everyone also had an expression of listening to melons, and followed Yunhua quietly.
【She is an ungrateful person! 】
The Book of Life and Death scoffed and continued, "She knew from a very young age that she wasn't a daughter of the Chen family. She was a child of a side branch of the evil woman's current husband's family. Later, for the sake of a man, she framed the Chen family for rebellion."
[In the end, the entire Chen family was beheaded, but she was spared because of her meritorious reporting and the fact that she wasn't a Chen child. However, she was later killed by that man, as he couldn't leave any evidence behind.]
Everyone: ...
Chen Zhehan: .....
Emperor Wenxuan, who had just climbed down from the wall and was eating melons among the crowd: ???
No, what did he hear?
The Chen family will be beheaded by him in the future, but he is not a tyrant. How could he not send people to investigate thoroughly before issuing an imperial decree?
He is not responsible for this!
Chen Zhehan also felt a little scared.
Fortunately, I discovered early on that the ungrateful little bastard was a fake!
He was wondering whether he should strangle her to death.
When Yunhua heard what the Book of Life and Death said, he was glad that he had gotten involved. [Little Book, Master Chen is truly unlucky. His entire family was wiped out by a fake.]
Who says it’s not?
Chen Zhehan hugged his little daughter, who was lost and found again, a little tighter in his arms.
On the other side, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were dark from the moment she entered the Chen Mansion.
Her elder sister was really lucky. Not only did she not die in childbirth, but the little bastard also survived.
snort!
Even so, that bastard was replaced by her. When he grows up and becomes a whore ridden by thousands of men and pressed by tens of thousands of people, I want to see if she can still smile.
Ha ha ha ha
Mrs. Zhao's sinister laughter echoed in her heart. Before she even entered the main hall, a concerned voice came over, saying, "Brother-in-law, my sister gave birth prematurely. Is she okay? How is my little niece...?"
Before she could utter the word "OK", Mrs. Zhao was startled by the large group of officials in official uniforms in front of her.
"Sister...Brother-in-law...Am I here at the wrong time?"
Mrs. Zhao froze in place, forcing a smile onto her face. She was usually very calm, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a panic in her heart.
"No, it's just in time!"
Chen Zhehan smiled strangely and handed his daughter in his arms to Yunhua.
Then, he suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Mrs. Zhao by the collar, and slapped her twice. He had no habit of not hitting women.
hiss~~
It’s so exciting, Yunhua even feels embarrassed for Madam Zhao!
"lady!"
Mrs. Zhao's maid screamed and wanted to rush up to stop them, but was stopped by the servants of the Chen Mansion.
Mrs. Zhao was beaten so hard that her head felt dizzy, her cheek swelled up quickly, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Chen Zhehan in horror, his face full of anger, her eyes full of panic.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? I...I haven't done anything wrong, right?"
"Haven't done anything wrong yet?"
Chen Zhehan's eyes were red as he shouted at her angrily, "You vicious woman, you have a heart of a snake and a scorpion, and you have such a long hand. Isn't my wife good enough to you? You actually dared to cause her to give birth prematurely, and you even wanted to trade my daughter for her bastard."
Mrs. Zhao staggered back two steps, her pupils shrank, and she raised her hand to cover her swollen cheek with trembling hands. A hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes in panic, and then she put on a pitiful look in an instant.
"Brother-in-law, you are slandering me!"
Her voice was tearful and her body was trembling slightly, trying hard to hide her inner anxiety and guilt.
Why were things different from what she imagined?
Who was it, who betrayed her!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao exuded a sinister aura.
"Madame Yang and the midwife have already confessed, and you still dare to call it slander!"
Chen Zhehan exuded a terrifying aura at this moment, and he wished he could tear her into pieces.
Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale.
A chill spread from her heart to her limbs, making her feel cold.
"Nonsense! Madam Yang is desperate and is just trying to accuse me. My sister and I are like brothers and sisters, how could I possibly harm her?"
Chen Zhehan was completely unmoved. Just as he was about to say something, Yunhua jumped out holding the baby: "I have evidence, I have evidence!"
"We caught them red-handed. When I rescued the little girl, I also captured a woman and a coachman. They were the daughter-in-law and son of the Zhao family's housekeeper. If you investigate, Master Chen, you'll find out the truth."
This was what Xiao Shushu had just told her, the true identities of the two people.
They... were caught in the act?
Mrs. Zhao was sitting on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes and a deathly pale face.
Why, why does God do this to me!
When Mrs. Zhao met Chen Zhehan's murderous gaze, her body trembled violently, and resentment and unwillingness instantly surged in her originally distracted eyes.
