The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 165 Divorce
The two were talking in the main room, when Mrs. Guo came, and when she saw the jugs of wine jars on the ground, she began to cry again: "It's all the fault of Mrs. Xu, the poisonous woman, who made my son look like this. My son had a good future It was all ruined by this damn vicious woman."

As she said that, she came over and pushed her son and said, "You said she has made you like this, why don't you divorce her soon? What are you waiting for?"

Guo Cuiyan hurried over to persuade Guo Shi: "Auntie, divorcing your wife is a big deal, you should at least let your cousin think it through."

Guo yelled: "What else is there to think about, shouldn't such a woman give up?"

"If my mother-in-law wants to divorce me, she must show reason? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

As soon as Guo's words fell, Xu Wanning and Jing Shu walked in.

Seeing Xu Wanning, Mrs. Guo snorted coldly and said: "You came back just in time. You have harmed my concubine Ji's flesh and blood. If you don't abandon you, you will just make up and leave."

As he said that, he looked at Li Xian: "Go write and leave the book, give it to her, let her leave my Li family as soon as possible."

Guo Cuiyan quietly fetched a pen and ink, pushed it in front of Li Xian, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, have you thought it through?"

Li Xian looked up at her mother, then at Guo Cuiyan, and finally said to Xu Wanning: "Mr. Xu, we have been at odds for so many years of marriage, and now you have made trouble to the point of killing my concubine Ji's flesh and blood. Since we are already Water and fire are incompatible, so it’s better to make a difference.”

As he said that, he picked up a pen and wrote the Heli letter in one go, signed his name on it, pressed his fingerprints, and handed it to Xu Wanning, saying: "You sign it. If you miss the children in the future, order someone to tell you. Someone take you there, you can see the children anytime."

Now that things have happened, Xu Wanning has calmed down instead, and she is no longer as flustered as she used to be. She took He Li's book and said to Li Xian, "It's hard for you to have a conscience and think about your child." us."

Li Xian replied: "I know you are concerned about the children, if it wasn't for the children, you probably wouldn't be able to get along with me long ago."

Xu Wanning looked at Li Xian and asked, "Aren't you responsible when we come to this day? It's all my fault?"

Li Xian replied: "I am responsible, but which man does not have three wives and four concubines? Why can't you tolerate others, not my flesh and blood?"

Xu Wanning argued: "I told you, I didn't kill that Meiniang. Could it be that you don't believe me at all after we've been husband and wife for so many years?"

Hearing Xu Wanning's words, Li Xian's chest rose and fell, and he stared at Xu Wanning with red eyes and asked, "Who else is there besides you? You are the only one in these families who sees her as a thorn in the side. Did you see me move again and leave her behind?" So you don't want to let her go, right?"

Seeing Li Xian insisting on this matter, Jing Shu stepped forward and said, "Brother, how did Meiniang die? We will know after the first trial that those who served her side will know."

Li Xian sneered and said, "Haven't the people in Chenxi Pavilion been interrogated? They all said they don't know."

Jingshu replied: "There is only one person who knows about this, and that is Meiniang's personal maid, Xiaohong."

Li Xian asked suspiciously, "Didn't that little girl take advantage of the chaos and escape on the day Mei Niang was buried?"

Jing Shu replied: "She ran away, which shows that there is something strange about this matter."

Li Xian said: "What's wrong? She just said that Mei Niang died after eating the mooncakes ordered by Mr. Xu, and she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not let her go."

Jing Shu said: "I have captured Xiaohong, what happened, I will know after interrogating myself."

When Guo Cuiyan heard that Xiaohong was captured by Jingshu again, she screamed in her heart that it was not good. Xiaohong knew about the poisonous scheme she and Meiniang set up to frame her, and besides, the package of poison for Meiniang, I am afraid that this girl Also informed.

On the day of Mei Niang's burial, she originally wanted to kill Xiao Hong without anyone noticing, so that people would mistake her for being a loyal martyr, but she didn't want that ghost girl to run away.

Now that the only person who knew the inside story was captured by Jing Shu again, how could Guo Cuiyan not panic.

Guo Cuiyan stepped forward and said: "That girl has been running away for several days, who knows what she has experienced outside, maybe she was bribed or threatened, it is also possible, her words are not credible."

Jing Shu glanced at Guo Cuiyan, and said calmly: "My cousin, our Li family is discussing family affairs, please avoid it."

Guo Cuiyan's face turned blue and white by Jingshu's light words, but the matter was so important that she would not leave. Guo Cuiyan quietly stood behind Guo Shi, and could only wait for Xiaohong to be interrogated in fear.

Jing Shu told the steward outside the door: "Go and bring Xiao Hong up."

After a while, Xiao Hong was brought up, Li Xian glanced at Xiao Hong, and asked, "Xiao Hong, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone, just tell me how Aunt Mei died of?"

Xiao Hong lowered her head, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Li Xian lost his patience and asked sharply, "What's going on, talk!"

Xiaohong raised her head in shock, Guo Cuiyan stood behind Guo Shi, staring at her like knives, Xiaohong glanced at Xu Wanning quietly, her eyes were also sharp.

Guo Cuiyan is Guo's niece, with Guo's backing behind her, if she tells the truth, Guo Cuiyan will be kicked out of the house at worst, but Guo will not let her go, if she continues to frame Xu Wanning, Li Xian can really divorce her Fortunately, if the rest fails, then Xu Wanning can't let her go.

Although Xiaohong is a maidservant, she is a shrewd person. She looked at Li Xian and cried, "I'm telling the truth, I hope the master will let me go."

Li Xian agreed: "Just tell me, I promise you."

Xiaohong said: "Aunt Mei wanted to stay in the mansion wholeheartedly, so she made a dangerous move, she wanted to beat the baby in her womb, and plant it on the eldest lady."

Li Xian said sharply: "Are you serious about what you said?"

Pointing to the sky, Xiaohong swore: "Everything said by the servant girl is true."

Jing Shu asked: "According to tests, what Aunt Mei ate was arsenic, but not abortion medicine. Why?"

Xiao Hong faltered and said: "This servant doesn't know, the medicine was obtained by Aunt Mei herself, and this servant really doesn't know."

Jing Shu asked: "Which one in the mansion has Aunt Mei been in close contact with recently?"

Hearing what Jingshu said, Guo Cuiyan's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she caressed her beating heart, and gave Xiaohong a wink like killing a chicken and wiping her neck.

Xiao Hong quietly glanced at Guo Cuiyan, she is not stupid, knowing that it would do her no good to confess Guo Cuiyan, so she insisted: "My aunt has no contact with anyone in the house."

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly and said, "That's it, where did this medicine come from? If she wants to kill her child and frame Mrs. Xu, she can just take abortion pills. Why do she need to eat arsenic? Isn't she looking for ideas, hum I saw that the girl was clearly afraid of Mrs. Xu, so I just said nonsense, this Mei Niang was killed by Mrs. Xu."

Mrs. Guo glared at her son: "Why are you interrogating so stupidly here? This girl has been bribed a long time ago, so she's just fooling you here like a fool."

After hearing Guo's words, Xu Wanning hurriedly shouted to Xiaohong: "Where did this medicine come from? Tell me clearly, if you dare to be so perfunctory, I will beat you to death!"

As soon as Xu Wanning said this, Guo Cuiyan said leisurely: "Biao sister-in-law, how dare she tell the truth if you threaten this girl so much."
