Dong Hui was startled and stood up from her position. She stared at Aunt Zheng in surprise, "What crime are you asking? Why did I offend them?"
The panic could not be concealed in the angry words.
After all, Dong Hui was still afraid of Mo Shujun. When she heard that the other party came to ask questions, she first became afraid.
Shi Qingxue hurriedly stepped forward to help her back to her seat, and comforted her softly, "Mother, don't be anxious. I still don't know what it is! If we are anxious, others will say that we are guilty of committing crimes!"
"Yes, yes, don't be impatient." Dong Hui came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.
But he was still a little worried, so he told Aunt Zheng who was standing aside, "Don't just stand here stupidly! Go find the master quickly and get him back!"
Grandma Zheng woke up immediately after being yelled at by Dong Hui. She didn't dare to delay and ran out in a hurry.
"Where to go!"
Mo Shujun's cold voice came from the Dongyuan gate.
I saw Mo Shujun leading a large group of people blocking the entrance of Dongyuan. Aunt Zheng wanted to squeeze out to report the news, but was stopped before she could reach the gate.
Mo Shujun didn't even have the intention to ask Dong Hui, and directly asked people to push Aunt Zheng down.
Even compared to her previous arbitrary behavior, this attitude is too overbearing and tough.
Are you determined to break up, or are you really confident...
Shi Qingxue thought about it secretly, and pulled Dong Hui to prevent her from getting angry. Instead, she saluted everyone who came to kick the ball and smiled, "Qingxue pays my respects to grandma."
Mo Shujun was so angry that she didn't even want to deal with it. She snorted coldly and ignored Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue was not angry either. When tensions were high, the more arrogant she was, the more likely she would be caught in the wrong place.
She wouldn't be so stupid as to give the conversation to others.
"I wonder what happened when grandma suddenly visited Dongyuan with her second aunt and third aunt?"
He never asked about Mo Shujun's forcible detention of Aunt Zheng, and naturally did not give Mo Shujun a chance to attack.
Mo Shujun didn't find the point of explosion, and her anger subsided a lot as soon as she entered the door.
He just looked at Dong Hui coldly and scolded: "Look at the good things you have done, you have really disgraced the face of our government! Why did I choose a wife like you for He'er? It's so unethical and humiliating." Home door!!!”
It was not enough to humiliate Dong Hui to the ground with a series of reprimands that hit her heart. She also had to step on her twice.
Dong Hui was so excited by this angry rebuke that she swayed, lost her balance, and almost fainted.
Shi Qingxue hurriedly stepped forward to support Dong Hui and shouted anxiously: "Mom, are you okay?"
Dong Hui looked pale and shook her head.
"No, we still have to call the doctor over and take a look." Shi Qingxue was worried and turned to send Xia Mang to invite Doctor Qin.
Xia Mang didn't even get out of Dongyuan when he was stopped by his servants and refused to give.
Shi Qingxue finally frowned, holding back her angry temper, and asked Mo Shujun coldly: "Grandma, what do you mean? My mother is pregnant, and now Qingxue wants to ask a doctor to come over, but that's not possible, right?"
Zhou Ruyu pretended to be casual and said coolly: "Who knows whether the seed in her belly is from our Shi family? If not, we can't ask our eldest brother to become a cuckold and help her raise her son!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Qingxue scolded him unceremoniously.
As for Zhou Ruyu, she is really not afraid of others saying that she disrespects her elders.
She stared at Zhou Ruyu coldly and warned coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhou Ruyu was pricked by her cold gaze, and suddenly shrank like a deflated balloon. But she was unwilling to give in, and turned to complain to Mo Shujun, saying aggrievedly: "Look, mother, I know that as a little aunt, I don't have a high status in the family, and I don't have any authority even towards the younger generation. I was yelled at like this." I can only live with it forever..."
Mo Shujun was a very old lady, and Zhou Ruyu knew where her fox tail was as soon as she opened her mouth, but she had no intention of nagging Zhou Ruyu, and said coldly: "Now that you've accepted it, don't talk anymore."
Zhou Ruyu: "..."
Mo Shujun didn't care how worried Zhou Ruyu was, and turned her attention back to Dong Hui.
Staring closely for a long time, he directly asserted: "You know the dirty things you have done yourself, and I am too lazy to tell you anymore. Today you will go back to Dong's house on your own, and I will leave the letter in two days." Then order someone to send it away. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Duke of Shi's house. I don't bother to ask whether the seed in your belly is He'er's, and there is no such person in the Shi family tree!"
Not to mention that Shi Qingxue was so surprised that she could not speak. Even Dong Hui was horrified.
Dong Hui always thought that the reason why Mo Shujun hated her so much was because she failed to give birth to a son for Shi Junhe.
Even Shen Luo, the doctor who had seen her pregnancy, said it was likely to be a son - she almost thought that this was her first day, but she didn't expect that Mo Shujun would not even care about the grandson of the Shi family.
Dong Hui suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Mother!" Shi Qingxue shouted in shock, quickly helped Dong Hui steady, and asked the maid to beat Dong Hui's chest to comfort her.
After a while, Dong Hui managed to regain her composure.
Mo Shujun kept watching with cold eyes. After they were in a hurry for a while, she said coldly: "Stop pretending! Madam Dong, aren't you tired of your little tricks? Now that He'er is not here, you have to pretend." Who’s watching?”
"Grandma? What do you mean?" Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
She had tried her best not to conflict with Mo Shujun, but Mo Shujun relied on her status to become more and more prosperous, to the point of pushing her even further, so don't blame her for not giving face to her elders.
"Grandma, I don't know where my mother offended you. She actually asked you to bring people to Dongyuan in person, and threatened to divorce your wife on behalf of my father?"
The word 'for' is an excellent word.
Although it stands to reason that Mo Shujun, as Shi Junhe's biological mother, does have the right to divorce his wife on behalf of his son, the status of women in the Mo country is quite high. If a woman is rashly divorced without making a big mistake, then the man's family will definitely be Scorned to death.
Therefore, mothers-in-law will no longer divorce their sons' wives on their own initiative, for fear of being criticized.
But this time Mo Shujun felt that she had a solid foundation and was not afraid of Shi Qingxue's questioning at all.
She glanced at Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the second master Shi Junfeng, who had been following behind her, and called out coldly: "Ms. Zhang, just tell everyone, what did you see in the lower reaches of the Jiehe River last night? One, five, ten, tell them all.”
When she mentioned last night and Jiehe, Dong Hui's face changed drastically and she was horrified.
When Shi Qingxue saw her at the side, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized: This time, Mo Shujun may not have been completely created out of thin air!
However, before she could get along with her, the second lady, Zhang Qiuyan, stood up and said honestly: "My mother's health was not very good last night. I went back to the house to attend to illness. When I came back, I passed by the boundary river. I saw it. I saw it." …”
When it came to the most critical point, Zhang Qiuyan stopped again and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
He also glanced at Qingxue from time to time, as if he was afraid of Qingxue's revenge. .
Shi Qingxue's face darkened slightly and she snorted coldly: "Second aunt, tell me what you want to say. What do you want me to do?"
"That's right, Second Sister-in-law, it's your mother who is asking you something now. Just tell her the truth. Even if something really happens, your mother will still make the decision for you!" Zhou Ruyu stepped forward and took Zhang Qiuyan's arm, speaking affectionately.
It looks like relief, but it's actually encouragement.
Zhang Qiuyan gritted her teeth and confessed everything: "I saw my sister-in-law and a strange man having a private meeting at the Lover's Pavilion by the boundary river last night. The two of them hugged each other and were very intimate."
"Nonsense! You are lying, I am not!" Dong Hui screamed, stood up from the stone bench, and was about to pounce on Zhang Qiuyan, as if she wanted to tear off the other person's nonsense mouth. .
Shi Qingxue quickly grabbed Dong Hui to prevent her from acting impulsively.
At the same time, he stared at Zhang Qiuyan closely and asked calmly: "Second aunt returned home yesterday to attend to her illness, why did she come back that night? This seems a bit unreasonable."
Zhang Qiuyan seemed to have expected Qingxue to ask this question, and she opened her mouth to answer: "In the evening, my mother's health had improved greatly. Just then, the master sent someone to deliver a letter saying that he felt a little unwell. If I were at the Zhang family If nothing happens, just go home early. I was worried about the master, so I went home overnight."
Shi Qingxue's expression remained unchanged and she nodded, apparently believing Zhang Qiuyan's words.
But before Zhang Qiuyan could breathe a sigh of relief, Qingxue suddenly asked: "If Qingxue remembers correctly, the Zhang family is in the southwest of Kyoto, and the boundary river flows from west to east, and the Lover's Pavilion is in the southeast of the boundary river. Why is the second aunt? When I return home, do I need to go around the entire Nancheng before coming back?"
Zhang Qiuyan suddenly felt that one person was as big as the other. It was said that the sixth lady of the Shi family was smart, smart, and very smart, and it was difficult to deal with her. She had experienced it today.
Shi Qingxue did not find any conflict with Dong Hui's private meeting, but instead made a fuss about why she appeared in the Lover's Pavilion.
It didn't seem to be relevant, but she couldn't help but answer.
After all, if there is a problem with her 'passing by' the Lover's Pavilion, then her witness testimony will be much less reliable.
But she couldn’t answer either! So this thing is basically...
Zhang Qiuyan glanced at Zhou Ruyu subconsciously, but was caught by Shi Qingxue, who was staring at her closely.
How could she still not know who was behind this
Zhou Ruyu secretly cursed "idiot" and ignored Shi Qingxue's suspicion of her. She immediately stepped forward and proactively and forcefully explained to Zhang Qiuyan: "Second sister-in-law's aunt's home is in the southeast. Second sister-in-law wants to visit her aunt by the way. Not surprising.”
Zhang Qiuyan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes! That's it, I just went to see my aunt!"
After saying that, Zhang Qiuyan straightened her chest and became more powerful. She aimed the gunfire at Qingxue: "I really passed by the Lover's Pavilion last night. If Qingxue thinks I'm lying, she can kill the coachman and the maid from Xiyuan." The servants called me to ask, anyway, I wasn’t the only one who saw my sister-in-law’s affair yesterday.”
“…”
This is a cruel move!
If he didn't believe her, he would call more people. Wouldn't this make the whole city aware of Dong Hui's secret meeting with his foreign man
No matter how bold Qingxue was at this time, she would not dare to involve more people rashly before the matter was clearly investigated.
She slowed down her attitude, smiled warmly at Zhang Qiuyan, and said lightly: "Second aunt said something serious. It's not that Qingxue doesn't believe what you said. It's just that the autumn dew is heavy and it's late at night. Second aunt is really able to see from such a distance. Can you tell the person's face? There should be no misunderstanding."
Anyway, a single confession cannot be used to convict someone.
Zhang Qiuyan immediately shouted: "Who said I have no evidence!"
