After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 314 Madam Bai's Revenge
Madam Bai approached Madam Zhu with the box in her hands, a faint smile on her face. "It's alright, there won't be another chance to visit in the future anyway."

"What?" Before Madam Zhu could react, her eyes widened, she staggered backward, and slowly collapsed.

"Ah!" Zhu screamed in terror, tumbling and falling to the ground.

The surrounding guests were also frightened and fled in panic.

Zhu Yixuan rushed over upon hearing the news, only to find Madam Zhu lying in a pool of blood, vomiting blood in agony.

"Mother! Someone, quick! Get a doctor! Arrest this wretch!" Zhu Yixuan roared like an angry lion.

"Mother, hang in there, everything will be alright." Zhu Yixuan's eyes were bloodshot, and her face was filled with panic.

Madam Zhu stared intently at Madam Bai, "Why?"

"Hahahaha. Cui Xuejuan, you still have the nerve to ask me why? Your good son killed my Feng'er. He climbed to his current position by stepping on my son's corpse. He exchanged my son's life for today's wealth and glory. The mother should pay for the son's debt! It's only right!" Madam Bai laughed maniacally, feeling the joy and smugness of having avenged her great grudge. She didn't care at all that her hair was disheveled.

Madam Zhu's gaze slowly fell on Zhu Yixuan's face.

"Mother, Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, I didn't, I didn't!" Zhu Yixuan's tears flowed like a broken string, her eyes filled with deep guilt and indignation.

Madam Zhu still had something she didn't understand. "Mother knows, Mother believes you."

After saying this, Madam Zhu slowly closed her eyes, and her hands fell limply to her sides.

"Mother!" Zhu Yixuan cried out in grief.

Master Zhu was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand. He barely managed to steady himself and shouted angrily, "Guards, report to the authorities! The Bai family condoned Liu's murder of my Zhu family's matriarch. From this day forward, the Zhu family and the Bai family are sworn enemies!"

Zhu Shi, who had collapsed to the ground, turned her head sharply and threw herself at Master Zhu's feet, pleading, "Father, Father, what should I do? What should I do? You can't abandon me!"

Master Zhu kicked Zhu Shi away, angrily scolding, "Why did you bring this crazy woman to your parents' house? Don't you know she's not mentally sound? Your mother's death is inextricably linked to you! I have no unfilial daughter like you!"

"Father!" Zhu cried out as she fell to the ground, not caring that her hair was disheveled.

She wanted to beg Zhu Yixuan, but Zhu Yixuan was holding Madam Zhu, and his eyes were frighteningly calm, so she didn't dare to go over.

The county officials arrived quickly. When Madam Bai was taken away, she did not struggle, but just kept laughing maniacally, which was eerie and unsettling.

The guests looked at each other in bewilderment; those with a sense of propriety had already left.

Shen Yi, worried about Su Tai, said, "Let's go too."

Su Tai nodded, her face pale and her lips pursed.

Shen Yi immediately picked up the twins and escorted the mother and children away.

Su Sheng and the others followed closely behind.

Even after leaving the Zhu residence, everyone was still not fully recovered from the shock.

"Shall we go back to the inn now?" Su Sheng asked.

Su Yu's expression was solemn. "Why go back to the inn! Go home! The Zhu and Bai families are going to be in trouble! With Zhu Yixuan's methods, innocent people will likely be affected. There's no need for us to stay and become sitting ducks."

“Yes, yes, my wife is right. That guy is a cunning scorpion, impossible to guard against. Let’s go quickly.” Su Tai looked at Shen Yi. “We’ve bought what we needed, let’s go back now.”

"it is good."

After everyone left, the huge Zhu mansion also closed its gates.

Cui did not leave, but instead led Bilian away from the servants and made their way to the bridal chamber.

Madam Zhu's death was an accident, and Zhu Yixuan did not send anyone to inform Cen Mingzhu, as she was still waiting for news from the front yard.

"Xiao Shuang, is the auspicious time here yet?" Cen Mingzhu frowned as she looked at the red veil on the table, somewhat impatient.

"Miss, it should be soon. The young master said he would send someone to deliver the message when the time is right."

The door creaked open, and Xiao Shuang exclaimed with delight, "Look, here we are! Huh? Who are you people? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shuang thought that Cui was a guest who had gone to the wrong place, and scolded her with a long face.

Madam Cui led Bilian in gracefully, surveyed the furnishings of the room, and sat down elegantly. "They say fortunes change every thirty years. Back then, I had Bilian plant every single tree and blade of grass in this courtyard! Now, the flowers and plants in the courtyard have lost their vitality, and even the courtyard has changed hands. No, I should say that the master of this backyard is gone!"

She smiled brightly, but Cen Mingzhu and Xiao Shuang looked very unhappy.

Cen Mingzhu suddenly stood up, looking at Cui with disdain, "So you're the divorced woman my husband divorced?"

Madam Cui chuckled, not angry at all. "My surname is Cui. Miss Cen can call me Madam Cui, or Sister Cui. Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to cause trouble today. I'm mainly here to congratulate you on your marriage."

I never expected to witness such a spectacle outside! Now all the guests have fled, and the wedding can't take place. But I've come all this way, so I must see Miss Cen and have a few words with her; otherwise, my trip would have been for nothing!

"What do you mean?" Cen Mingzhu asked angrily, instinctively glancing at Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Shuang shook her head blankly, "Miss, don't be fooled by her, she's just trying to scare you!"

"Scare me? I wouldn't dare!" Madam Cui laughed heartily. "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around yourself, see if it's a wedding or a funeral outside."

Cen Mingzhu and Xiao Shuang both changed their expressions.

Xiao Shuang immediately ran out to inquire.

After seeing that the person had left, Cui's smile vanished. She said, "Miss Cen, I did not come here today to cause trouble. Zhu Yixuan was ruthless to me, and I have long since become indifferent to him. However, there is something that has been weighing on my mind and keeping me up at night. I will not rest until this thorn in my side is resolved!"
It's infuriating that the Zhu family kept it so secret, protecting it so meticulously that I couldn't find a single clue. I'm not willing to give up! Now I have no choice but to ask Miss Cen for help.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you crazy woman?" Cen Mingzhu's patience was almost exhausted. If Xiao Shuang hadn't gone out, she would have really wanted to teach Cui a lesson right now.

Cui was plunged into painful and repressed memories.

"When I was still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, I also gave birth to a son for Zhu Yixuan. Unfortunately, that child was born with bad luck and was weak and sickly. I worried about him day and night and became unrecognizable. In the end, the child still died."

Later I found out that while I was worried about my child, he was keeping a mistress behind my back and letting that slut give birth to a son. Even when he had to go to serve in the military, he still made sure his mistress was taken care of properly and did everything he could. And what about me? What are my son and I?
We're a joke! In his eyes, we're dispensable, someone he can discard at any time!

"I'm not reconciled! Since he cares so much about that mother and child, I'll make them suffer a fate worse than death! I'll let Zhu Yixuan taste what it's like to lose a loved one! Miss Cen, do you understand?"

Cen Mingzhu slowly walked towards Cui Shi, glaring at her sharply, "Are you saying that Zhu Yixuan already has someone he loves?"
