Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Shiying couldn't bear his mother being divorced and said harshly, "It's my mother's fault that she doesn't treat Wang as her daughter-in-law and doesn't give her a higher status. But my father has been ill for many years and unfortunately died young. I can't blame my mother entirely." On the body. To say that my mother offended the gods is just speculation, but there is no evidence. When the yamen decides the case, it is based on evidence..."

Old Ancestor Chen's nose was so angry that he yelled, "Boy Shiying, although you have become an official, you are still a member of our Chen clan. You will be buried in the Chen clan's ancestral grave after your death. Don't show off your official authority with me."

Old man Chen said unhappily, "Nephew Shiying, we are not a yamen, we are not deciding cases, we are telling the facts. Mrs. Wang is not an ordinary daughter-in-law, but a daughter-in-law who married into the house for happiness. If you don't treat her as a daughter-in-law, you won't To give her a higher position is to pretend to be happy, to be a blessing. If your father died of illness, who should blame your mother? We said she killed her husband, and we were right. Even if you become a high official, even if you don't blame us, The old immortals are looking down on you, and you should also think about your father who died young, and think about how many children there are in the clan. You can't let your father die in peace, your children can't be in office, and your girls can't be because of that evil woman. Isn’t it easy to get married?”

This is a bit harsh.

Chen Shiying knew the power of the clan, not to mention that his father was raised by the clan, and his mother did make unforgivable mistakes. He quickly bowed and said, "Old man, you have misunderstood me. No matter where I go, no matter how high an official I am, I know that my hometown is in Hu'an, and I am grateful to the Chen family for raising my father and providing for my father." Studying and taking the imperial examination... Starting from this year, I will add another one hundred taels to the annual donation of one hundred taels to the clan to make life easier for the clan members. In addition, I have been thinking that there are so many people in the family. Good young people should be allowed to get a better education. I will donate another fifty taels of silver to build a family school so that every boy from the Chen family can study. If there are young people in the family who are admitted to the scholar examination, they will be admitted to the imperial examination or the Jinshi examination. All expenses are funded by me.”

These two conditions were so attractive that the eyes of several clan elders lit up and they started discussing in low voices.

Money moves people's hearts. Chu Lingxuan shook his head secretly. It seemed that the old woman would not be divorced.

Chen Shiying didn't show it on her face, but she felt much more relaxed in her heart.

After the discussion, Old Man Chen said, "We all know that Mr. Shiying has not forgotten his roots and has always cared about the clan. However, Zhao's evil deeds are too great. If he continues to keep her in the Chen family, it will not only harm you, but also Chen." The baby and daughter of the family. For your sake, I don’t have to become a wife, but I can’t stay in the Chen family anymore. Let her go to the nunnery to practice cultivation until she dies."

Old Ancestor Chen continued, "We can only retreat to this step. We will never allow Zhao to stay in the Chen family and cause harm to others. If Mr. Shiying is still unwilling, we will have nothing to say."

Chen Shiying knew that this was the best outcome. When she went to the nunnery to clean up her body, her mother was still the wife of the Chen family, and she could be buried in the Chen family's ancestral grave after her death.

He nodded in agreement.

His mood was very contradictory. He was sad that his mother would have to suffer in the nunnery for the rest of the year, but he also felt relieved.

It was already the end of noon, so the clan elders were invited to have lunch.

Chu Lingxuan also accompanied him and toasted several clan elders.

Old Ancestor Chen is seventy-eight years old this year. His teeth are almost gone and his hair is gray, but he is still in good spirits and has a clear mind. He said to Chu Lingxuan, "Go back and tell Ah Fu. We all know that she is a good child, and she and her mother have been wronged. After we deal with the evil woman Zhao, we will write Wang down when we return to our hometown." According to the genealogy, Ah Fu is the real eldest daughter of my Chen family."

Chu Lingxuan bowed and thanked him.

After the meal, the group went to Antang, where the clan leader announced the disposition of the Zhao family.

Chu Lingxuan felt that it was not good for him as a son-in-law to follow, but he knew that his wife had wanted to see this scene for a long time, so in order to tell her in more detail, he still followed shamelessly.

When they came to Andang, they couldn't enter the old lady's inner room, so they all stood still in the yard.

Patriarch Chen stamped the ground majestically with his cane and said to Mrs. Jiang, "Go and have Mrs. Zhao carried out."

Mrs. Jiang led the ladies into the inner room. The old lady was still angry and smashed the tea bowl on the floor. Her son is back, and her backbone is finally back. But her son only came to Antang to talk to her for a few words yesterday, and he has never shown his face until now. She knew that her son was angry with her.

She thought that her son was a filial son with a soft heart, and she would be able to coax him to come over with a few kind words. She asked her servants to carry her to see her son. She wanted to tell him that she missed him very much. No mother in the world would harm her own son. Everything she did before was for his good...

But the servant was still the same as before, as if he didn't hear her words and ignored her at all.

The old lady was so angry that she cursed, "This family belongs to my son, not to the Jiang family! My son is back, and if the Jiang family dares to disobey me again, I will ask my son to divorce her..."

The servants still didn't look up to her.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she wanted to drink tea. The servant didn't dare not listen to this, so he put the tea in her hand. She followed the servant and hit her, and then asked for tea again. The servant cleverly did not hand it to her, but put it on the small table beside the bed and kept it away.

The old lady couldn't move easily, so she picked up the tea bowl tremblingly, and then threw it at the next person. She couldn't hit anyone at all, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Seeing Mrs. Chen who was obviously in better spirits, Mrs. Jiang bent her knees and said, "Mother-in-law, the elders from my hometown are here and they want to see you."

The clan elder from her hometown wants to see her? Old Mrs. Chen felt that something was wrong and said loudly, "I don't want to see them, I want to see my son."

Jiang said, "Master is also outside."

Mrs. Chen was relieved when she heard that her son was outside. His son is still a high official, and those tribesmen must have come to curry favor with him again. They wanted to see themselves as the dowager, but it was difficult to enter the house, so they asked him to go out to meet her.

She smacked her lips and said to Mr. Jiang, "People are always trying to flatter someone who is superior and disdain someone who is inferior. A few days ago, when my son was unlucky, they were nowhere to be seen. But as soon as my son was reinstated, they came to his door. ? My son is a kind man. He should not pay attention to those masters who only care about money but not people." He looked at Jiang again and said, "Not to mention the clan members, even my own daughter-in-law is like this. My son is unlucky. At that time, he left the old woman here and spoke evil words against me. As soon as my son was reinstated, his attitude changed and his legs became more efficient."

Seeing Jiang looking at her calmly instead of saying heart-wrenching words like before, the old lady felt happy. I wanted to scold this shameless evil wife again, but thinking that my clan members were still outside, I resisted the urge to scold her. She called the old lady who was specially there to serve her and said, "comb my hair and put on that red embroidered jacket. The eyes of those who are immortal are all on the top of their heads."
