The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 279: Causes and Consequences

Wang Fan was shocked and asked for the divorce papers of Tao Ziyi and Qi Wan to read. After reading them, he really believed them and said enviously, "You guys are really quick to get divorced right away. You are lucky to have an open-minded mother-in-law. I don't know when I can get the divorce papers."

Tao Ziyi was in a good mood. Her eyes, which had been as dull as water for the past few days, became a little more lively. She smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, what is your purpose in visiting the first wife?"

Wang Fan held the divorce agreement in her hands, reluctant to let it go. She said with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "As you know, Third Madam forced Sixth Son to 'keep himself clean'. He slept in my room. I was fed up with him. I had no choice but to hide in the family temple."

"I see!"

Tao Ziyi and Qi Wan felt sorry for her and comforted her all the way.

Wang Fan acted pitifully and read the divorce letter over and over again.

Fu Nanjun lowered his eyes slightly.

It’s not as simple as just avoiding Lao Liu, right?

What is Wang Fan going to do next?

Forget it, no matter what, if there is a hole in the sky, isn't this the second wife back? There is the second aunt to support.

Fu Nanjun first sent Tao Ziyi and Qi Wan to the government office, and then the three of them sent Wang Fan to the ancestral temple together, and by the way, they checked on the current situation of the first wife Zheng.

This investigation led to another storm.

Fu Nanjun's maid Wu Xi had sharp eyes. She pushed the door open and noticed that Zheng was hiding something in a panic. She took the opportunity when Zheng turned around to pour tea to shake the thing out of the quilt.

It turned out to be a rag doll with needles all over its body!

Shi Yao’s birth date is pasted on the back of the puppet!

Fu Nanjun and the others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. Because of witchcraft and sorcery, the Duke's Mansion was almost turned upside down, and Nanny Xin was beaten to death.

How could the eldest wife be so confused and have something to do with witchcraft?

Do you think you have a long life?

Today she dared to curse Shi Yao, and tomorrow she will be bolder. If she is dissatisfied with the old man for sending her to the family temple, who knows if she will curse the old man?

She has already been sent to the family temple. The person in charge of the Shi family has made up his mind. Is she far from "dying of illness"?

Zheng was originally happy that someone from the Shi family came to visit her, and she had the hope that if she behaved well, she could return home one day. But when she saw the puppet falling to the ground, she was so scared that her face turned pale, and she simply threw a tantrum and shouted:

"Shi Yao! It's Shi Yao! Why don't you believe me? It's because of her coming to Beijing that our Shi family started to have bad luck, and I ended up being banished from the family temple! She deserves it! I curse her to die a miserable death, and may she be struck by lightning!"

Fu Nanjun ordered Wu Xi to burn the puppet and said coldly, "Madam, witchcraft is a serious matter. I will report this matter to the old master and the old lady."

"Fu Nanjun!" Zheng was completely mad and rushed over to hit her, but was stopped by the two maids brought by Fu Nanjun. She screamed heartbreakingly, "You traitor!

I gave you wealth and honor, and the honorable position of the Crown Prince's wife, and never treated you harshly. Yet you were jealous of my Zhuzhu, favored the illegitimate child of the third room, and helped that illegitimate child deal with my Zhuzhu! You will also be punished! I am waiting for that day!"

Seeing Fu Nanjun's expression change, she continued more proudly, "Shi Yao is an ungrateful person. You help her and protect her everywhere, but she won't be grateful to you. She will only remember that you ordered people to open her window in the middle of winter night to freeze her to death!

Do you think she doesn't hate you? Do you think she doesn't want to take revenge on you? Just wait, if you give her a chance, she will definitely make you die without a burial place!"

Fu Nanjun's pale face gradually warmed up, and he smiled faintly: "If that day comes, it will be my retribution, and I will gladly accept it. And you, Madam, are suffering the consequences today because of the evil deeds you planted in the past."

"Ah - ah - I'm going crazy! I don't want to live in the family temple!" Zheng was like a madman, holding her head and screaming.

Wang Fan and others were both angry and saddened.

How could this crazy woman in front of me be even a bit like the graceful and elegant lady that the Duke's wife once was?

*

Zhenguogongfu.

Fu Nanjun suddenly left, and Shi Yao stepped forward to temporarily take over the eldest sister-in-law's position and manage the miscellaneous affairs in the rear house.

She had been dealing with trivial matters for the entire morning, and the maids reminded her to have lunch.

There were only her and her second sister-in-law Le Anning at the table. Just as they were about to start eating, Fu Nanjun came back.

Shi Yao looked around and asked, "Where are the third, fifth, and sixth sisters-in-law?"

Fu Nanjun washed his hands and face, sat down, and looked carefully into Shi Yao's clear eyes. He could not see any resentment in her eyes, only full of dependence and happiness.

She smiled softly and said, "They won't be back for the time being."

Shi Yao's heart beat faster and she asked hurriedly, "Where did they go?"

It is no small matter that the three daughters-in-law do not come home.

Fu Nanjun said, "We went to the ancestral temple to visit the eldest wife. Seeing that she was living a hard life, the three of them stayed to help her grow vegetables."

"..."

Shi Yao's expression was indescribable.

Does the sister-in-law think she is a fool?

Can she believe this?

Le An Ning was so shocked that her jaw dropped. "Sister-in-law, you can't lie to us just because Yaoyao and I haven't been educated much! Where did the three of them go? I won't believe they went to the ancestral temple."

Fu Nanjun waved away the maids and then told them everything: "… Sixth brother's wife wanted to hide from Sixth brother in the ancestral temple. Ziyi and Wanwan thought it was a good idea, so they stayed there temporarily to avoid the limelight. After Second Sister gets married, they will announce the divorce publicly."

Shi Yao pinched her thigh, her eyes welling with tears, "It was me who delayed the sisters-in-law."

Le An Ning patted her thigh: "Are you not in pain?"

Shi Yao: “…”

I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to put my hands.

Fu Nanjun hid his handkerchief and laughed twice, then asked, "Are the third and fifth brothers here to make trouble?"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "They made a fuss, but they only said they were looking for the third and fifth sisters-in-law, but they didn't say why they were looking for them. I guessed that something big had happened, and it turned out to be true!"

Le An Ning gave a thumbs up: "Second sister is really observant and smart!"

Shi Yao: “…” I’ve given you another chance to show off!

She was secretly worried.

Her sisters-in-law were considerate and thoughtful of her, so she couldn't keep delaying the marriage and keep them stuck in the ancestral temple.

Do I really want to marry that little Mr. Tang?

She shuddered, unable to imagine spending her life with a strange man.

After lunch, Fu Nanjun sent someone to deliver Tao Ziyi and Qi Wan's luggage, and then went to talk to the second wife, Shen, saying that the news of the divorce should be concealed temporarily so as not to affect Shi Yao's marriage.

This move was exactly what Shen wanted.

She also didn't want to see Shi Yao and Tang Zhan's marriage fall through.

Then, Shen went to find the old Duke again to explain the divorce and told him about Zheng's making of the voodoo doll.

The old Duke was so angry that he almost fainted.

But the divorce agreement had already been filed with the government office, and the divorce was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to reverse it, so all he could do was let the second wife go.

As for the first wife, Zheng, the old duke just thought she was dead.

After Zheng left, the old Duke felt a splitting pain in his heart. He took several pills and drank some water. After half a minute, he felt better.

The butler was startled and quietly asked a doctor to come and see the patient.

The old Duke held his chest, frowned and sighed, "I don't know if I can live to see the day when the second girl gets married."

The butler turned around and wiped his tears secretly.
