After sharing a body with her husband

Old Madam Wei gripped the back of the chair tightly...

Shang Lingjun also looked displeased and said:

"Here is the confession. Besides, my sister is getting married. Why is my brother, as her elder brother, not hosting the guests at his own home but instead coming to the Xie family? Can he explain himself clearly? Mother, you know perfectly well how close my brother and Xie Zhaoqing were in the past, don't you?"

Shang Lingjun's words were already quite harsh.

Pei Zhiying, frustrated by the repeated rebukes, thought angrily, "Ati, are you even pushing your brother to the brink?!"

Shang Lingjun pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

What about her?

Who cared how painfully she struggled in her desperate situation in her past life?

Aren't you all just standing by and watching coldly?

Old Madam Wei remained calm, yet her words were still sharp and incisive.

"Now that these two scoundrels have made mistakes, our two families should deal with them separately. Everyone has lost face. My Xie family hasn't even settled the matter with the Xiao family about why Xiao Jing suddenly appeared in the Xie family, and Madam Pei is already questioning us."

My mother-in-law is already in poor health. Today, Madam Pei forcibly brought troops in. If she suffers any serious injury from this, then our two families will truly have to go to the Imperial Palace to settle things!

Pei Zhiying was alarmed, knowing that she was in the wrong for barging into the Xie family's house.

But since it concerned A-Jing, how could she not be anxious?

Pei Zhiying's face fell, and she said softly:

"Leading troops into the fray was a last resort; it was my fault, and I'll apologize in any way I can, but I only have one son, A-Jing, and I... I have to save him!"

Her heart felt like it was being fried in oil.

"And to make matters worse, it happened at his sister's wedding banquet. If word gets out, people will think that my Xiao family deliberately married Ati off to Xiaohuan! I wonder what kind of mudslinging people will throw at us now..."

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiying was filled with sorrow. When she came, she firmly believed that A Jing was wronged, but now she had lost her confidence.

What is A-Jing doing at the Xie family's house?

Could it be that he felt sorry for his younger sister and secretly came to check on her?

Ah Ti, why couldn't you talk to your family or elders about something? Why did you have to make a scene at the front yard and create this mess?

Shang Lingjun shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

"No, my brother deliberately married me off to Xie Zhaoqing. He wanted me to help Xie Zhaoqing conceal his identity so that the two of them could have an affair! He deliberately ruined me and deliberately pushed me into a pit of fire!"

I committed suicide by running into a pillar, yet you didn't utter a single word of concern. I know I'm not your biological child, but I also had parents and brothers who loved me. Does Mother still remember why my father and brothers died?

After saying this, Shang Lingjun ran out of Qingyun Hall in tears.

She couldn't stay there any longer and listen to Pei Zhiying argue. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She had to get her out of there as soon as possible!

Before leaving, he mentioned the cause of his father and brother's deaths to make her feel guilty and throw her off balance!

"Ati!"

Pei Zhiying stood up, feeling as if her heart had been gripped.

She raised him herself, how could she not love him?

But Ah Jing...

Ah Jing is her biological son, and Ah Jing has always doted on his younger sister!

Now that A-Jing's future is in ruins, even if she has suffered some injustice, she should be able to distinguish between what is important and what is not, and quickly help her brother get through the crisis!

How can you keep complaining and all you do is cry?

Old Madam Wei directly ordered them to leave.

"Madam Pei, you can tell your son when you get home that although the Xie family has expelled Xie Zhaoqing from the family register, we will spare his life and ensure he will live a comfortable life from now on. He can rest assured. Guards, see the guest out!"

She was saying this to Xiao Jing.

If he truly had feelings for Xie Zhaoqing, then he would keep the secret to himself.

If he wants to use this to extricate himself, then...

Old Madam Wei's eyes darkened, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

When Shang Lingjun suddenly brought up the past events of her father and brothers' deaths, Pei Zhiying felt a pang of sorrow and was already in a state of emotional turmoil. Now, being ordered to leave, she lost all composure and judgment.

"Grandma, I have one more thing to say: you absolutely must not arrange a marriage for Ati! If you don't, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation..."

"This is a matter for the Xie family; Madam Pei need not trouble herself." Old Madam Wei had truly run out of patience.

"She's my daughter!"

Pei Zhiying exclaimed.

Old Madam Wei glanced at her, "Just a foster mother."

Pei Zhiying was shocked and pale.

"you!"

"No……"

Pei Zhiying was forcibly driven out. Even though she brought troops, she had no choice but to leave, because Mao Chuang was already in the wrong. If she stubbornly refused to leave, the Xie family would really take her to the imperial court.

boom!

The door slammed shut.

Pei Zhiying looked at the vermilion wooden door, feeling anxious. She had come here hoping to resolve the matter, but it seemed she had accomplished nothing and was kicked out.

wrong!

Ah Jing was unaware that he had been drugged; he was framed. How did it become a romantic joke in the Xie family's mouth?

The difference in these two sentences is like night and day!

In the former case, A-Jing is innocent, but in the latter case, the two are in cahoots!

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiying pounded her chest in frustration. It was all because of the Xie family's few words that she was led astray, not to mention Shang Lingjun's meddling...

Pei Zhiying belatedly realized that the Xie family had no intention of helping Xie Zhaoqing salvage the situation; they only wanted to deal with it quickly and decisively to protect the family's reputation!

That's why they gave me a perfunctory response and kicked me out!

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiying wanted to rush in and argue with the Xie family again, but when she saw the tightly closed door, she stopped.

Pei Zhiying's face was filled with anxiety; she was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go home first!"

After some hesitation, she left in a hurry.

The Xie family wouldn't actually go to the emperor to file a complaint; it would be too shameful for such a matter to be brought up in the imperial palace, and the Xie family couldn't afford that.

Moreover, Xie Zhaoqing's body cannot withstand examination!

……

At this moment, at Qingyun Hall.

"Go, go and examine her body yourself, and don't alert anyone in the manor."

Old Madam Wei said to Granny Qiu.

Granny Qiu understood that Old Madam Wei meant to examine Xie Zhaoqing, so she agreed and left.

The results of this medical examination determined Xie Zhaoqing's fate...

After Granny Qiu left, Old Madam Wei gave Murong a look, and Murong understood immediately.

"Don't worry, Mother. I've already sent Qian Mama there. She won't tell anyone."

All the servants who were serving in the ancestral hall just now have signed a death contract. Anyone who dares to divulge a single word of it will be beaten to death.

Old Madam Wei hummed in agreement, and everyone in the room looked at Madam Qu.

Qu's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. She bowed her head deeply, remained silent for a long time, and then began to sob softly.

"No need for further examination, Zhao Qing is... is a woman..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank instantly, and their faces grew increasingly solemn. They wanted to curse, but dared not raise their voices.

Uncle Xie, in particular, was so angry he was jumping up and down.

"What a mess you've made!"

Why did you do that?!

Faced with the accusations of the crowd, Madam Qu covered her face and wept, knowing that no matter how she tried to explain, it would be useless. No one cared about her suffering or her difficulties!
