Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 510: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (32)

The moment Hongling stepped out of Fu's house, she knelt on the ground and begged Fu Huaiying to save her parents and sister.

Fu Huaiying looked down at Hongling crying bitterly, and said, "Okay, then help me do one last thing."

She went to report the case to the police, and Hongling was a witness.

The stepmother gave her concubine's daughter a chronic poison. The murderer was the wife of the Minister of War, and the victim was the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei.

The Dali Temple would be in big trouble if it received a report like this.

It just so happens that the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is a relative of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

They couldn't afford to offend either side, but Fu Huaiying had brought all the witnesses and evidence, so they had no choice but to send soldiers to Fu's house to bring Yan Binghua to court.

Fu Hongchuan hadn't expected the incident to become so serious. If Yan Binghua were to go to jail, he would be a laughing stock among his colleagues in the officialdom! Some might even use this incident to impeach him for not managing his family properly and being unfit for such a big responsibility!

Zhao Su was unaware of the chaos in the capital.

On the way to Xiling, Zhao Su was very silent.

In his mind, he was thinking about Fu Huaiying's accusations against them, and then about her decisiveness in drawing her sword and killing someone.

Only then did Zhao Su realize that he had never seen through Fu Huaiying.

When Fu Shuyue asked him to marry Fu Huaiying before his death, he didn't have so many concerns.

The young children do need a mother, and the Marquis's mansion also needs a mistress.

Fu Shuyue said that her half-sister was gentle and kind, and would definitely be good to Tunan and Yaoyao, and she would also be able to live a prosperous life under the protection of the Marquis' Mansion.

Yan Binghua and Fu Hongchuan also told him about this.

No one asked Fu Huaiying whether she was willing or not, and even Zhao Su assumed that Fu Huaiying was willing.

Although the marriage was carried out according to the procedures for the main wife, Fu Huaiying was still married in as a concubine, and Fu Shuyue had just passed away, so the wedding was kept simple.

Fu Huaiying was only sixteen years old when she married him, a full eight years younger than him.

In the first two years of their marriage, she looked at him with the admiration of a young girl.

Now that she thought about it, she might have regarded him as a reliable brother.

It was just her subconscious dependence and admiration for her husband when she first arrived in a strange place.

Zhao Su never knew that Fu Huaiying already had a crush on a man.

He was never the object of her first love and teenage thoughts.

...

It was already evening when Zhao Su returned from Xiling.

The news of the divorce of Marquis Dingbei and his wife had spread like wildfire, and the news that the wife of the Minister of War had poisoned the concubine's daughter, who was also the wife of Marquis Dingbei, also spread in the capital.

Such secrets of the inner house exist in every household, but if they were to be made known it would be a great disgrace.

No wonder the wife of Marquis Dingbei wanted to divorce Marquis Dingbei.

No one would be able to accept such a life of devotion.

When Zhao Su returned home, the mansion was already in chaos.

Fu Huaiying asked Hongxiu to count the dowry early in the morning, and after getting the divorce letter, she quickly packed up her things and shipped them out of the house.

The old lady got up early in the morning and was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist temple. Not long after, she heard a commotion outside.

Not long after, Chu Yuexiang hurriedly found the old lady and said that Fu Huaiying had divorced Zhao Su and had reported her mother-in-law to the government. She said that she had not been able to get pregnant for so many years because her stepmother had drugged her.

"A few days ago, the news that you were going to take a concubine for the Marquis was also spread."

The old lady was almost angry to death.

However, the divorce letter in Fu Huaiying's hand clearly had Zhao Su's personal fingerprint on it.

Everything happened too fast, and Zhao Su was not at home. Hongxiu had already packed up all of Fu Huaiying's things at Hexiangyuan.

When Zhao Su came back, Hexiangyuan had become an empty house.

The steward of the mansion handed a copper lock to Zhao Su, saying that Hongxiu asked him to pass it on.

It is the key to Zhao Su's private treasury.

"Madam has never opened your private vault."

"The old lady has ordered you to go to Jing'an Hall immediately."

Zhao Su pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

He had already guessed what the old lady would say.

As expected, upon arriving at Jing'an Hall, the old lady angrily demanded, "What on earth happened at the Fu family today? Why did Fu want to divorce you?"

"It's okay if she's crazy, but you actually agreed to it!?"

The old lady was in great trouble because the news of this matter was spreading everywhere.

When Zhao Su saw the old lady, he remembered what Fu Huaiying said today.

He was extremely exhausted at the moment, he had never felt so tired even when fighting in the battlefield.

"Xun Zhi! Speak!" The old lady looked at Zhao Su with an unpleasant expression: "Do you know what the outside world is saying about our mansion?"

"Ouch my head."

The old lady didn't understand why her eldest son's marriage was so difficult.

There has never been a case in this dynasty where a marquis was asked for a divorce by his wife!

"What a sin this is!"

"So the Fu family is born to bring bad luck to our Marquisate?!"

Whenever the old lady thought of what Yan Binghua had done, she became so angry that her teeth itched.

"That bitch Yan Binghua!"

"From the beginning, I didn't approve of Fu Shuyue's concubine's sister marrying in as a concubine! Look how much trouble this has caused!"

"It's fine that she hasn't had a place to stay for so many years. It's all her stepmother's fault. Why did she have to make our mansion the laughing stock of the entire capital?"

"Mother!"

"enough!"

The old lady was stunned for a moment when her son interrupted her harshly.

Zhao Su had always respected his mother.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.

He was often away fighting to defend his country and could not stay at home to serve his parents like his second and third brothers.

Therefore, he always respected his parents much more than his two younger brothers, and never said anything harsh to his mother or lost his temper.

But when he was not at home, it was always Fu who took care of the household affairs for him.

Even when his father passed away, he was still leading troops in battle, and the funeral was handled by Fu alone.

Fu had done well enough, but she was still scolded by her own mother as a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

Zhao Su never thought that such insulting words would come from his mother's mouth.

"I agreed to the divorce."

"Don't mention this matter again in the future."

"Let Chu take care of all the affairs of the mansion. From now on, don't mention marriage or concubines anymore."

Zhao Su left after saying three words, and Jing'an Hall was filled with dead silence.

After a long moment, the old lady murmured, "...What does he mean? Does he not plan to get married again?"

...

Fu Huaiying's dowry was sent to the house she had secretly prepared long ago.

After submitting the documents to the government office, Fu Huaiying returned to his home.

The new home is in Jinggongfang, which is naturally more remote than Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang, but it is quiet and less crowded.

The house is not very big, it is a binary house.

When Yang Jindie, the owner of the fruit and flower shop, learned that Fu Huaiying had divorced and moved out, she specially sent someone to deliver a lot of flowers to help her decorate the yard.

When Fu Huaiying arrived home, Hongxiu had already brought people to help her tidy up the house.

"My dear, you are finally back. Are we going to live here from now on?"

Hongxiu only found out yesterday that Fu Huaiying was planning to divorce.

She didn't expect that Fu Huaiying would actually divorce Marquis Dingbei.
