After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 31 The one who cheated was the mother-in-law.
After expressing her envy, Fang Lingchu asked, "[System, why was Ma Caidie drowned?]"

Lord Zhang: After all this time, you've finally gotten to the point.

When Ma Xiuer heard that her younger sister had been drowned, she was very worried. What had her sister done?

Mrs. Ma was also very worried about her daughter.

Ma Caidie is already crying her eyes out, so it wasn't her who harmed her sister, right?
Fang Lingchu didn't care what Ma Caidie was thinking. She just wanted to hand the person over to His Majesty and let His Majesty and the Crown Prince do whatever they wanted to save her.

As long as she ensures people don't die, how they are used is not something she needs to consider.

When the system retrieved the information about Ma Caidie marrying Wang Jie, Fang Lingchu immediately wanted to curse.

Then everyone heard Fang Lingchu say a series of things that she couldn't write down, things that were just really bad.

She felt like she was an unlucky person, so she went to the Wang family and ignored all the difficulties her mother-in-law caused her, letting the Wang family to torment her. After all, she was a young lady from a general's family! And this old woman even falsely accused her of adultery. Someone who doesn't care about life, yet she's committing adultery? It's truly ridiculous.

Hearing Fang Lingchu's curses, Ma Caidie lowered her head in shame. Her sister ignored her, and her mother didn't want her anymore. She didn't know what the meaning of her life was.

So... no matter how her mother-in-law mistreated her, she didn't care at all.

Fang Lingchu continued: "[They're even self-righteously thinking this is atonement. If you want to atone, shouldn't you be atoneing for your mother and sister? Making this whole family think they can atone for your sins? I just don't understand this bizarre thought process.]"

[A daughter of an official, doing laundry, cooking, and farm work for the Wang family, while her mother-in-law righteously declared that the Wang family used to be farmers, and even though her son became an official, they couldn't forget their roots, and then made Ma Caidie farm every day. My goodness, what kind of brain does she have!]

Fang Lingchu screamed in disbelief, and all sorts of sounds reached everyone's ears.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were also puzzled, no wonder they thought a daughter of an official was not as good as the girl they raised at home.

She was drab and thin, a stark contrast to her well-off mother-in-law who was adorned with gold and silver.

Fang Lingchu continued her attack: "And this Madam Ma, what kind of family does she come from? She just casually lets her daughter marry into such a family. People really can't be too idle. Should I ask the Emperor to send General Ma a few beauties, and have them bear him a few children? That way, Madam Ma will have something to do and won't be able to harm her two daughters."

After all, these two girls were talents discovered by Fang Lingchu and were to be recommended to the Crown Prince. If they had a mother who couldn't think straight, wouldn't that be very troublesome?

Madam Ma panicked immediately and wanted to tell the princess that she knew she was wrong.

Unfortunately, the people accompanying her immediately covered her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.

Mrs. Ma thought to herself: I'm begging to be let off the hook.

She'll never feel bored with life again, sob sob sob, does anyone know what she's thinking?

The system then said: [Host, this might solve the immediate problem, but what about the future? So let's not do it. Besides, General Ma really likes his wife.]

Hearing the system say that, Fang Lingchu regretfully gave up the idea.

Then continue reading: [Did Ma Caidie cheat on someone, System?]

Wang Linshi was somewhat afraid that Fang Lingchu would find out something, and she tried to find a way to prevent Fang Lingchu from saying it.

The system stated: "[It wasn't Ma Caidie who cheated, it was her mother-in-law, Lin Daya, and Ma Caidie knew about it.]"

Netizens: Is this even possible?
Fang Lingchu started cursing again: [What's wrong with Ma Caidie? She knows it wasn't her, so why was she still drowned? Does she know that if she admits to this, will the other girls of the Ma people still be able to get married? Will her brother and sister-in-law's future daughters still be able to get married? If her father comes back from the border and finds out that his daughter did such a thing, how will he face people? Has she gotten pig fat in her brain?]

Fang Lingchu bombarded Ma Caidie with three questions in quick succession, leaving her completely bewildered. She hadn't thought that far ahead; she just wanted to die, hoping that her sister would feel better if she did.

Fang Lingchu continued: "[She won't just die to end it all, and make her sister happy. What a magnificent act of self-destruction! Not only will it not make her sister feel better, but it will also make her take the blame for that wicked mother-in-law. It's truly a wonderful spectacle, pleasing the enemy and hurting the loved ones.]" Fang Lingchu's words made Ma Caidie feel ashamed and helpless. She really…

Lin Daya overheard Fang Lingchu accusing her of cheating on her husband, and everyone looked at her with disdain. Just as she was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Fang Lingchu, she sensed the approach of death.

This made her afraid to say anything more. She sensed that if she cursed Fang Lingchu now, she might die immediately.

The guards beside her were watching her intently. Her intuition was spot on, but it wasn't out of comfort, but rather the system's protective mechanism.

Anyone who exposes Fang Lingchu's true feelings on the spot will die immediately.

[Wang Qi will then use this as leverage to force Madam Ma to hand over most of the Ma family's assets. Tsk tsk tsk, I suddenly feel a little sorry for Madam Ma. One of her daughters has married and brought trouble to the family, while the other spends her days in seclusion, rarely returning home. And now her son is completely infatuated with his niece and is even considering divorcing his wife. Tsk tsk tsk.]

Upon hearing this, Madam Ma nearly fainted, but fortunately Ma Xiuer was there to support her.

Wang Qi was initially surprised to hear that his mother was having an affair, but he quickly recovered. After all, it was normal for his mother to want a man after being a widow for so many years.

However, he somewhat disagreed with his mother's affair. He thought she could simply marry him directly, and he could even receive a dowry. As for the dowry, the Ma family could provide it.

Wang Qi was there, figuring out how to marry off his mother and how much dowry to ask for.

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's words, Ma Caidie immediately addressed the prefectural magistrate, saying, "My lord, I have something to say."

She cannot die; even if she dies, she cannot die as a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, nor can she bring shame upon her sister.

Lord Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ma Caidie finally speak.

Fang Lingchu saw Ma Caidie suddenly about to speak and asked, "System, why is Ma Caidie suddenly speaking? Is she trying to tell the truth?"

System: "I don't know!"

Then Fang Lingchu decided to just watch quietly and not be a bystander.

Everyone knew pretty much by now, but they didn't know how Ma Caidie planned to reveal that her mother-in-law had cheated on her.

Before Ma Caidie could even speak, Lin Daya threatened, "You bitch, don't slander me!"

Ignoring Lin Daya's threats, Ma Caidie kowtowed to Lord Zhang and said, "My lord, I did not commit adultery. My mother-in-law was the one who did it, and I have evidence."

Lord Zhang was surprised that Ma Caidie had evidence and asked, "What is the evidence? Where is it?"

“My mother-in-law’s undergarment was right under his bed in Li Dabao’s room.”

Fang Lingchu asked the system in surprise, "How does Ma Caidie know about this? How does she know about these things?"

The system said, "She works a lot, and Ma Caidie has seen them having an affair many times. Do you want to see where they're having an affair? It's very wild!"

Fang Lingchu was very interested in seeing what the system said.

Then... Fang Lingchu got off the chair and ran to the back to vomit.

[Guagua, don't show me this kind of heavy stuff again.]
