The wife of Marquis Pingjin was so angry that her chest hurt. She was truly filled with regret and hatred at this moment. Originally, if Li Ruoshui had returned to the Li family, then let her go back. Anyway, they, the Marquis Pingjin Mansion, could not afford such a woman. It was true that they had their own plans, but Li Ruoshui had been able to live in the Li family without any knowledge of the matter. This made people feel puzzled.
After all, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion, so she couldn't cause any more trouble, otherwise the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion would be implicated. After pondering for a while, the wife of the Pingjin Marquis grabbed the maid who came with Li Ruoshui's dowry, and tortured her without saying a word. Although the fact that Li Ruoshui and Prince Cheng were "husband and wife" was not revealed, the fact that she had hooked up with other men was a foregone conclusion. The wife of the Pingjin Marquis almost fainted from anger.
Then he strongly suspected that the scandal between her and his son was a conspiracy by his sisters, but he didn't find out anything at the time. Now if he went back to the past, he was afraid that there would be no results.
Originally, he just wanted to divorce Li Ruoshui after the envoys from various countries left. However, when he thought about what she had done, the more he thought about it, the more he hated her and the angrier he became. If he just let her go, he would probably be brooding over it for the rest of his life. Moreover, divorcing her would attract attention from the world, and who knows if the good things Li Ruoshui had done would be known to others. By then, it would be the Pingjin Marquisate that would be embarrassed.
Therefore, Lady Pingjin Hou wants Li Ruoshui to die!
Knowing that looking for Madam Li would not achieve the desired effect, he simply asked Prince Hua to find Li Ruoshui's father. As the Deputy Chief Censor of the Inspectorate, this man was upright to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, he was rigid and sticked to the rules. Without saying anything else, just based on Li Ruoshui's words and deeds in the palace, he would force Li Ruoshui to return to Pingjin Marquis' Mansion to apologize.
Things were indeed going smoothly, but what was strange was that Li Ruoshui didn't seem to be doing well in the Li family. She had lost a lot of weight and looked bad. What was even more incredible was that her hands had become much rougher. Although she was not well received in the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion, they were gentle with her most of the time and never treated her harshly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. But this time at her mother's house...
At this time, Lady Pingjin Hou was too lazy to care about the reasons. She used to have good food and drink, but now, nothing is possible!
Li Ruoshui had been "self-reliant" in the Li family before, and was often tormented and humiliated by Liang Ming. However, facing Liang Ming's arrogance and obscene words, she was extremely excited. She was sinking in pain every time she responded, wanting to die. Afterwards, she felt that she was despicable, but she couldn't help but relive the feeling.
But the pleasure was only temporary. She was used to being pampered and could not stand the suffering. Instead, she hoped to return to Pingjin Marquis Mansion as soon as possible. Therefore, when her father took her back to Pingjin Marquis Mansion, she cooperated very well and admitted her mistakes with a good attitude after returning. However, Pingjin Marquis Mansion had no more fine clothes and delicious food. She asked Hua Bochen for help, but the look in Hua Bochen's eyes when he looked at her was as if he was filled with poison and he wished to cut her into pieces.
No man nowadays can tolerate being cuckolded, and not just once, and being deceived and played around like a fool. So he simply thought that she was just flirting with other men. Otherwise, he might really strangle Li Ruoshui to death.
Li Ruoshui was living in dire straits, and Hua Bochen was not having an easy time either. Lady Pingjin Hou would not beat Li Ruoshui herself as it would dirty her hands, but she was not so polite to her son. In the past, she indulged and doted on him because he was the youngest son, but now she wanted to beat him to death, and then cried and scolded him after beating him. It was because she had not taught him well in the past that he was so stubborn and married such a thing.
At this time, whether it is Prince Hua or his wife, they are no longer in a hurry to talk to Hua Bochen. It is time for him to learn a lesson.
When Hua Bochen was beaten by his brother, he didn't know he was wrong and even talked back. Now, he just endured it without saying a word. He looked at his mother, who was in pain, and even more in pain. "Mom, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Don't get angry and hurt yourself..."
Although the wife of Marquis Pingjin also blamed her son, she knew that he was deceived and played by that woman Li Ruoshui, and she felt bad for him. She was heartbroken for a moment, "If you had listened to my advice and stopped associating with that woman, you would have married Ying'er home, why would you have to..." If the marriage with the Wen family was successful, not only would there not be so many disgusting things now, but with the help of the rising Wen family, not to mention that the Marquis Pingjin Mansion would have made further progress, at least this evildoer would not have a worrying future. Think about Chen Wenzheng, who works in the six ministries and seems to be favored by the emperor...
"Mother, let's not talk about this now. If it gets out, it will be bad for my sister's reputation." Prince Hua said.
"It's my fault." Lady Pingjin slapped her lips and wiped her tears. "You evil creature, get down to the ancestral hall and kneel down."
Until now, Li Ruoshui has suffered a lot. In the Marquis' Mansion, she can't get any help from heaven or earth. The wife of Marquis Pingjin wanted to torture her to death, but it would be unlucky to let her die in the Marquis' Mansion, so she found a time to quietly send her back to the Hua family's ancestral land - since the Hua family was granted the title of marquis, the center of gravity has always been in the imperial city, but the ancestral land is always the root - after sending her back, she had to die the way she wanted, but she miscalculated.
Li Ruoshui had no biological aunt in his previous generation. Although the Li family had other clansmen, they were relatively weaker. Li Ruoshui was not seen to be close to any of the families. Therefore, the cousin that Li Ruoshui mentioned was most likely from his maternal family. You know, among the objects of Li Ruoshui's ambiguity, there were those cousins who used to be from the Liangguo Mansion.
"The Liang family is in such a state now, how dare they not stop?"
One can imagine what it would be like for a poor family to face off against a powerful marquisate.
