Everyone present was shocked by Mo Shujun's decision. Only Zhou Ruyu was smiling, as if the position of the Duke's wife was already hers.
Dong Hui was stunned on the spot, as if she had been struck by lightning, tears gathered in her eyes, and then fell silently, and then she collapsed on the ground like a puppet with its strings pulled out.
Seeing that the servants of Shou'antang had entered the room to carry out Mo Shujun's order, Shi Qingxue subconsciously blocked Dong Hui.
Mo Shujun's face darkened, and she was dissatisfied with Shi Qingxue for confronting her again and again today, "What do you want to do again?"
Shi Qingxue was silent for a moment and only asked: "Isn't it too unfair to blame the theft on my mother when she didn't do anything?"
Mo Shujun sneered, "Mr. Dong has been childless for many years. She didn't mention it for the boss's sake in the past, but something like this happened again today. If I spare her again, the inheritance of the ancestors of the Shi family may be ruined in the future." It will be destroyed in her hands."
Shi Qingxue knew that Mo Shujun was very dissatisfied with Dong Hui, but she didn't expect that it had reached such a serious level that she wanted to divorce Dong Hui.
"What are you doing standing here stupidly? Didn't you hear what I said?" Mo Shujun saw that the people still didn't move, so she cursed coldly.
"this… "
The servants also looked embarrassed. Shi Qingxue was standing in front of Dong Hui, and they couldn't do anything!
At this time, Zhou Ruyu persuaded with a kind-hearted look: "Qingxue! I know you defend your mother, but what your mother did is obvious, and even she admitted it. Don't do it again." It’s not worth it if you piss off your grandmother!”
These words were obviously meant for Shi Qingxue's good, but they struck a chord in Dong Hui's heart.
Before Shi Qingxue responded, Shi Baoning came to pull her and whispered: "Third Aunt is right, you should stop making grandma angry."
Even though Shi Baoning's voice was very low and basically only the two of them could hear it, Qingxue's eyes widened in disbelief and she simply couldn't believe that these were words her sister could say!
"Sister, what are you talking about? Now that my grandmother is going to divorce my mother, are you going to stand by and watch?"
Shi Baoning's eyes dimmed and his voice was low, "Grandma didn't do anything wrong."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Perhaps Shi Baoning also realized that what he said was a bit heartless, so he quickly changed his words: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that grandma is very angry right now. If you continue to talk, not only will you not be able to save mother, but it may even have a counterproductive effect."
"Then you have to watch my grandmother send my mother back to the Dong family?" Shi Qingxue's face turned completely cold and she asked back without any politeness.
Shi Baoning had a stern look on his face, and after a long while he reluctantly said: "I just want to wait for my grandmother to calm down before I can persuade her. There is no room for maneuver in this matter. When my grandmother calms down, we can persuade her together, and we will definitely be able to do it by then." To bring mother back."
"What if grandma never lets go?"
Shi Baoning's face froze and he couldn't say anything.
Shi Qingxue did not continue talking to Shi Baoning. She knew that if she got out of the way now, Dong Hui would inevitably be driven back to the Dong family. Regardless of whether Mo Shujun will let Dong Hui back in the end, the stain of Zeng Jin being abandoned will always linger around Dong Hui.
She absolutely couldn't watch Dong Hui's reputation be ruined, and it seemed too coincidental, as if someone had planned it behind the scenes.
"Don't even think about touching my mother until the matter is cleared up." Shi Qingxue resolutely stood in front of Dong Hui.
Zhou Ruyu was afraid of long nights and dreams, and said anxiously: "Why haven't the matter been investigated clearly? Even your mother admitted it, and there are both personal and material evidence of the theft. Not to mention that your two uncles were embarrassed and were thrown into the royal family. How can you still What do you want?"
Shi Qingxue snorted coldly: "My mother is the wife of a duke, and she has a rank conferred by the Queen Mother. Now that dad has not come back, you can't just divorce her!"
"What? Is it possible that I can't divorce you?" Mo Shujun's eyes were sharp and she stared at Shi Qingxue coldly, "I am the mistress of the Duke's Mansion at this time. Is it possible that I can't divorce you?" Who else do you need to ask?"
Zhou Ruyu quickly agreed: "That's right! It's my mother's order now. If you continue to mess around, you will have to take action! Dongshuang, please pull your master away quickly."
Dongshuang also felt that Mo Shujun's decision to divorce his wife was too hasty and ruthless, but she was more worried that Shi Qingxue would antagonize her elders because of this, and instead of being able to save Dong Hui, she would be put in jail.
"Liu Niang, how about we..." Before Dong Shuang could finish her words, Qing Xue glared at her and shut her mouth obediently.
Her master is determined and cannot be persuaded.
What should I do? Is it possible to watch Shi Qingxue impulsively ruin her reputation
Mo Shujun on the other end also became impatient, and directly winked at his first-class maid, Zhu'er, and said, "Pull her away from me."
Zhou Ruyu couldn't help but feel so happy when she saw Shi Qingxue struggling like a trapped animal.
snort! Just struggle to your heart’s content! Anyway, she will be kicked out of the Shi family in the end. When the time comes, won't the Shi family just let her make the decision and let her say what she wants
Zhou Ruyu's eyes were wide open, as if he was helpless when he saw Qingxue being restrained, but something unexpected happened.
When Zhu'er brought several servants close to Shi Qingxue, she did not struggle and looked very calm. She only looked at Mo Shujun quietly, as if she had given up hope after despair.
Before Zhou Ruyu could be happy, she heard Shi Qingxue say calmly: "If grandma insists on making trouble like this, then I will have no choice but to ask for the Alchemy Book Iron Coupon."
Everyone stopped and looked at Shi Qingxue in surprise.
What is the Alchemy Iron Coupon
It was given by the late emperor to meritorious ministers at the founding of the country. At critical moments, as long as you hold the iron coupon of the alchemy book, even the death penalty can be pardoned. In a family, this is a gold medal that is more useful than anything else.
Shi Lei helped the late emperor establish the Mo Kingdom and also received an iron coupon for alchemy. It stands to reason that after Shi Lei's death, the Alchemy Iron Coupon should not have been left with Mo Shujun, but should have been passed on to his eldest son Shi Junhe.
But Shi Lei loved his granddaughter Shi Qingxue so much that he gave the Alchemy Book Iron Coupon to Shi Qingxue in front of everyone while he was still alive.
Mo Shujun's hand holding the handle shook, and her old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, "Why do you have to confront me?"
Shi Qingxue responded calmly: "I don't dare, it's just that my grandmother insisted on divorcing my mother despite her hard work in the Shi family for half her life. Qingxue can't just sit back and ignore it, and I ask my grandmother to forgive me."
Seeing that Mo Shujun was silenced by Shi Qingxue, Zhou Ruyu seemed to really want to let it go. She couldn't help but said anxiously, "Mother, this time my sister-in-law did something like this that harmed the reputation of the Shi family. If there is no punishment, then I’m afraid you won’t be able to convince the public if you think of punishment in the future! You can’t…”
"Shut up, me!" Mo Shujun scolded fiercely, venting all the resentment she received from Shi Qingxue on Zhou Ruyu.
Zhou Ruyu was trained like a grandson, but she didn't dare to reply a word and only glared at Shi Qingxue angrily.
superficial.
At this moment, a servant came to report: Prince Rui has arrived.
Mo Junyang is here again!
This thought flashed through everyone's mind at the same time, but even if everyone didn't understand Mo Junyang's purpose of coming to Shifu, Mo Shujun still had to send someone to greet him.
She glared at Dong Hui coldly. Although she was unwilling to do so, she had to put aside the matter of divorcing her wife for the time being. She only said: "Ms. Dong, you have a good daughter. I will take out the alchemy book and iron coupon to protect you! But Even if I spare your life, you will not be able to escape your punishment, but you should kneel down and reflect in this ancestral hall. If I find out that you dare to violate the law, then don’t blame me for throwing you back to the Dong family without any care. go!"
After saying that, Mo Shujun threw away her sleeves and left.
Although Shi Baoning was also worried about her mother, when she saw her grandmother's anger before leaving, she only glanced at Dong Hui and then immersed herself in catching up with Mo Shujun.
When only the people in the big room were left in the ancestral hall, Shi Qingxue wanted to help Dong Hui up regardless of what Mo Shujun said just now, "Mom, are you okay? Can you get up by yourself?"
Dong Hui was unwilling to get up, and smiled at Qingxue with tears in her eyes: "Princess, you just asked me to kneel down. If you get up at this time, wouldn't you give them the handle? I won't give them another chance. Don’t worry about the opportunity to bully you, mother is not tired, and nothing will happen if you just kneel down.”
Shi Qingxue felt sad, and looked at Dong Hui's suppressed expression, and almost shed tears.
"Since you don't want to get up, then I will kneel with you!" Shi Qingxue couldn't help seeing her mother kneeling in front of her anyway, so she also knelt down all at once.
Dong Hui became anxious and quickly went to pull Shi Qingxue, but the latter did not move at all.
She sighed helplessly, and understood Qingxue's painstaking efforts. Her heart, which had been chilled by Mo Shujun and others, gradually became ironed. She put her arms around Qingxue's shoulders and shouted softly: "Qingxue."
The infinite sadness cannot be expressed in words.
No wonder Dong Hui just admitted those crimes without any resistance. On the one hand, she really felt that the ridiculous things done by her brothers and sisters had disgraced the Shi family. More importantly, her mother-in-law, who she had served for more than ten years and was more cautious than her biological mother, could so easily say that she would abandon her. Don't abandon her.
Ah!
For a moment, she really thought: If she was struggling in such a big house with intrigues, and her own daughter didn't even help her, she might as well have been abandoned and returned to the Dong family! At least she has a father who will always love her!
Fortunately, such thoughts only passed by for a moment, and Shi Qingxue's next behavior allowed her to regain some confidence. Although the eldest daughter has been raised under the knee of her mother-in-law since she was a child and is not close to her, she still protects her daughter regardless of the reason!
She still has her husband!
No matter what, Dong Hui will always hold on until Shi Jun and Kaixuan.
Shi Qingxue knelt with Dong Hui in silence for a while, and suddenly said: "Mom, although the two uncles like to drink, they have never been drunk and made a big banquet before? And the same goes for my aunt. It's not their first time here. Shi family, I usually get a lot of gold and silver jewelry from you? How could you have the idea of stealing?"
"This..." Dong Hui originally felt that she had an incompetent relative who had disgraced the Shi family, but after Shi Qingxue said this, she also noticed something strange and said: "The wedding banquet of the third princess has begun. When we were here, I specifically told Shaokang and Shaoyang not to cause trouble, and they agreed, but then I didn't pay attention, and they quarreled with the Qin family for no apparent reason, and almost made a move."
"Qin family?" An idea flashed in Shi Qingxue's mind and she asked, "Which Qin family?"
"Who else could it be? It's from Prime Minister Qin's family, but it's said that he's a distant relative of Prime Minister Qin, so he didn't pay much attention to it, otherwise what might have happened might have happened!"
Speaking of this incident, Dong Hui still felt sad, thinking that she escaped the disaster because of a stroke of luck.
Shi Qingxue sneered at this moment, "That's not necessarily the case."
