Chapter 369 The Ancient Mother-In-Law Who Was Cannon Fodder (5)

After hearing Qingyou's words, Huo Tong was stunned.

She took Qingyou's hand, "Sister-in-law, you said that Ji Wen has a woman outside, and you still want to break off the engagement with Yue'er?"

Qingyou nodded with red eyes, "Yeah, it's like a demon, I don't listen to anything."

Huo Tong felt uncomfortable, "Sister-in-law is here to retire today?"

This marriage is only half a year away, what will her daughter do if such a thing happens?
Qingyou shook her head and said, "I didn't come here today to withdraw my marriage."

"A few days ago, I also heard Ji Wen say that I was going to divorce, and I felt something was wrong. I asked someone to check and found out that the merchant woman existed."

She looked at Huo Tong sincerely and said: "I really treat Yue'er as a daughter, so I just want to tell you about this, I don't want to keep it a secret."

"Otherwise, it won't be good for Yue'er, regardless of whether or not the engagement ends in the end."

"If you don't retire and marry Ji Wen, but he still misses the merchant girl, Yue'er will have to stay alone in the vacant room. It's the same as having a husband and being a husband, and you will be sad and hurt yourself."

"If Ji Wenxian annuls the engagement, it will not be good for Yue'er's reputation, and I'm afraid it will hinder her from remarrying in the future."

Qingyou felt that since she was engaged, the Qiao family had the right to know.

In the life of the original body, the Qiao family was miserable because they didn't know about it.

Huo Jiwen and Shi Lingqiao kept in touch with each other in secret, and no one found out that they had decided to live their lives privately.

Although the original body knew about it, he didn't show his family ugliness. He thought that as long as he disagreed with the divorce and brought his son back, he would marry Qiao Xinyue normally.

But she never thought that Qiao Xinyue would be robbed by bandits and lose her innocence.

Qiao's family went to investigate and found out that Qiao Xinyue and the two happened to meet bandits blocking the road and robbing several civilians. Qiao Xinyue's boudoir friend came from a general's family. Naturally, he was not used to such things, so he asked the guards to stop them.

Who knew that losing to the bandits would implicate her and Qiao Xinyue instead.

The girl didn't die when she was rescued, but committed suicide with guilt towards Qiao Xinyue.

Although Qiao Xinyue did not die, the originally lively little girl became taciturn and stopped going out.

The Qiao family voluntarily proposed to withdraw the engagement because of this matter, and Huo Jiwen also listened to Shi Lingqiao's suggestion, hypocritically telling the Qiao family that there is no need to withdraw the engagement, even though the cousin lost her innocence, he would still marry her.

Seeing his son's attitude towards the Qiao family, Yuanshen was relieved, so he had no doubts.

The Qiao family couldn't do such a thing, Qiao Xinyue had a psychological shadow, let alone agree to marry.

And Qiao Xinyue has always liked Huo Jiwen, so she didn't want to harm him, so her parents refused.

Also because of Huo Jiwen's appearance, the Qiao family not only didn't have any bad thoughts about Huo Jiwen, but also helped him a lot in court.

Half a year later, when Huo Jiwen married Shi Lingqiao, the daughter of a merchant, everyone was surprised and puzzled at first.

Huo Jiwen came out and said that because of his cousin, he felt very distressed, and he didn't want to marry another wife.

But he was injured when he went hunting before, and was rescued by Shi Lingqiao, and his mother wanted him to have a queen, so he married her back to repay his kindness.

Everyone felt that he still had Qiao Xinyue in his heart, and that he married a benefactor just to deal with the family's need to marry a wife and have children, and they all felt that he had affection.

With this, he gained a good reputation, and everyone didn't have much opinion or resistance to him marrying a merchant girl.

I just think this merchant woman is lucky.

Shi Lingqiao's reputation has not been damaged in the slightest, and she is still envied by many people.

Because of this, the Qiao family didn't blame Huo Jiwen, who had just divorced for half a year and then remarried, but felt a little sorry for him.

Later, Shi Lingqiao discovered that there was a silver mine in the barren mountain of Qiao's family, so he asked Huo Jiwen to come forward to buy from Qiao's family.

The Qiao family saw it as just a barren mountain, and gave it to Huo Jiwen without even asking for money.

Huo Jiwen gave it to Shi Lingqiao.

Shi Lingqiao made use of these silver mines and let the Shi family mine them secretly, accumulating a large amount of wealth, and only then was he able to buy several imported ships and transport them to the capital to make a fortune.

With more money, she bought medicinal materials from all over the country for Shi Lingqiao's use, allowing her to prepare a lot of pills and sell them at a high price, and her reputation rose greatly.

As a result, the Shi family became an imperial merchant, and also became the purse of the fourth prince, so that he would not have to worry about money in the seizure of the heir.

This incident also successfully disgusted Qingyou again.

The Qiao family has been cannon fodder for a big injustice from the beginning to the end.

And in Shi Lingqiao's eyes, this was justified, because she felt that the Qiao family owed her and their family, and it was interest.

Qingyou can't understand the brain circuit of people like Shi Lingqiao.

Shi Lingqiao's family was not wronged when they were exiled. Her father was indeed corrupt, and he joined hands with officials in the south to spend most of the money allocated by the court to repair the dam, and started a tofu project.

When the floods hit, the dikes and dams were easily washed away, causing countless casualties and displacement of the people.

It was also because of this that Shi Lingqiao's father was dragged out and sentenced to exile.

Dali Temple Minister Qiao was just upright and selfless, and did not give a light sentence because of the dealings of the fourth prince, which was completely hated by the Shi family and the fourth prince.

It's completely a disaster.

This time, of course, it was impossible for Qingyou to make the Qiao family a big wrong again.

Huo Tong was very uncomfortable at first, thinking that his sister-in-law came to withdraw because of Huo Jiwen.

But after listening to sister-in-law's words, the anger that was born eased a lot.

She really didn't expect her nephew to be so ruthless, and wanted to abandon her daughter for the sake of being a merchant's daughter.

Huo Tong pursed his lips and said, "They grew up together. Ji Wen took good care of Yue'er in the past. Does he really want to be so heartless?"

She has a good relationship with her eldest brother, so she values ​​and loves her only son very much.

It's really hard to accept this fact.

Qingyou sighed, "I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. Not only did he break his promise for a woman, he didn't care about Yue'er's reputation, he insisted on pestering me to divorce the Qiao family, and he always contradicted me for that woman."

"He wants to marry that woman, and he would rather not even be a Duke. Do you think he will change his decision?"

She put eye drops on purpose.

The aunt Huo Tong loved Huo Jiwen with all her heart, and she took good care of her since she was a child. If she had anything delicious and fun, she would send it to the Duke's mansion.

Because Huo Tong has a good relationship with her original husband, she treats Huo Jiwen, a nephew, even better than her own brother, Huo Xi.

But how did the barbecued pork bun repay my aunt?

Qingyou came here today, not only to tell Huo Tong about this, but also to let him slowly accept the fact that Huo Jiwen is a white-eyed wolf.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to pull Huo Jiwen down from the position of son.

After all, he is the legal heir of the Duke's Mansion, and the position of the eldest son was also granted by the emperor before his original husband went to the frontier.

Even if she is a princess, if there is no reason or she has to change, she has no right to change the candidate for the future Duke.

Therefore, it is necessary to discredit the char siu buns step by step, expose the disgusting things they did, and make those who have always supported him change their minds, only then can they pave the way for Huo Xi to succeed.

Otherwise, it would be incomprehensible for her own mother to drive her son out and help her uncle to the top.

Maybe there will be someone who spreads bad words, which is not good for Huo Xi.

What she wants is Huo Xi's legitimate successor to the Duke's Mansion.
