After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

Qu was originally very worried, but when she heard Ginkgo shout, "Madam, save me," she finally felt relieved.

Because she knew that Ginkgo would not say that.

Once she begged me, I would definitely plead for her, and in the end the old lady would blame her.

So Ginkgo would never say anything that would implicate her.

But now that Ginkgo has said so, it means she is fine.

Qu looked at Wen Qianqian in her arms.

Wen Qianqian's big eyes blinked at her cunningly.

[Don't worry, mother, Qianqian is using her spiritual power to protect Sister Yinxing. She won't get hurt and won't feel any pain.]

Qu nodded almost inaudibly.

But in order not to reveal any clues, she deliberately pretended to be worried and distressed.

Finally, after twenty strokes of the cane, Qu handed Wen Qianqian to Yinxing and ran out quickly.

After the two of them staged a deep love between master and servant, Qu had someone help Ginkgo back, and then she stepped into the flower hall again.

"Madam, although Ginkgo's mistake today was unintentional, he did make a mistake. Now that he has been beaten, can you calm down?"

The old lady choked when she saw that Qu was not in a hurry.

She originally wanted to use Ginkgo to give Qu a warning.

If Qu stopped her from punishing Ginkgo, she could tell others that she, the mother-in-law, was not as important as Qu, a maid, and let everyone scold her for being unfilial.

She could then naturally treat Qu as harshly as she wanted, and also vent her anger for her deceased grandson!

But unexpectedly, after feeling heartbroken, Qu did not speak for Ginkgo, and even asked her if she had calmed down.

This caught the old lady off guard and made her not know how to start the conversation.

Wen Zehai was calmer. He said with a serious face, "Jinniang, the old lady didn't mean to punish your maid. She was just too angry. How could you expel our Yi'er from the house and let him die tragically in prison?"

Hearing this, the old lady's anger flared up again.

"Qu! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how could you kill your own son?"

Qu sneered in her heart.

Biological son?

Is he eldest brother’s biological son?

But her expression did not show it, revealing a look of self-blame.

"Madam, I am also very sad about Yi'er's sudden death, but this time it really happened for a reason."

"Yier stole most of my dowry and went out to gamble. I just said a few words to him, and he wanted to leave the house with Hong Shen."

"I was also angry at the time, so I did something stupid. I never thought that he would hang himself in prison."

Wen Zehai suddenly raised his eyelids.

"He lost most of your dowry?"

Qu nodded.

"Yes, when I came back this time, I thought he had improved, but I didn't expect him to become even worse. He actually stole my key, opened the storeroom, and took my dowry to gamble!"

"Everyone in the capital knew about this. I was so angry that I expelled him from the family tree."

"After he left, nothing happened. But who would have thought that he would be so absurd as to bully a decent girl. That's why he was arrested by the government and locked up."

"When I heard the next news, he had hanged himself in prison."

Wen Zehai's face looked so ugly that water could drip out of it.

Qu's dowry!

Or most of the dowry!

Those are all his things.

But now, half of it has been lost to that useless thing born to my eldest brother.

Wen Zehai's sadness gradually turned into anger when Qu brought up the issue of dowry.

If he had known this, he should not have agreed to his mother's request to switch his own biological son with his eldest brother's son.

The old lady's face didn't look any better.

After all, the dowry was generous, and Wen Chengyi lost most of it in one go, which really hurt her.

But when she thought that her eldest son's only bloodline was gone, she still hated Qu.

"No matter what, even if Yi'er is wrong in every way, you shouldn't kick him out of the house!"

"If you hadn't kicked him out of the house, he wouldn't have died!"

"So what if he lost your dowry? Is your own son's life less important than a few pieces of silver?"

Wen Zehai felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

When the eldest brother was alive, his mother favored him. Now that the eldest brother is dead, his mother still cares about his son.

Qu's dowry was so generous, how could she say something like "a few taels of silver"?

Wen Zehai couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the old lady who was still scolding Qu.

"Mother, the most urgent thing is to get Yi'er's body back. The dead cannot be resurrected. What's the point of you talking about Jinniang now?"

Old Madam Wen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her eyes becoming even angrier.

"Qu, you keep saying that you are sad, but why haven't you claimed Yi'er's body yet?"

Although she was angry, she was also worried that Qu knew Wen Chengyi's background, so she asked this question.

Qu smiled bitterly and said as Qianqian had taught her: "Madam, it's not that I don't want to claim the body. It's just that... when my wife's people went to claim the body, it had already been thrown into a mass grave."

"Everyone around me is timid. When they saw him, they were so scared that they just said they couldn't go to that place."

"Plus, I am still in confinement after childbirth, so it is not convenient for me to go there. Therefore, I have not brought Yier back yet."

Old Madam Wen was so angry that she was about to jump up and down.

"What are you talking about? You can't go there? It's your own son. Why are you afraid?"

Qu bowed deeply.

"What the old lady said is reasonable. My daughter-in-law is too timid. Fortunately, the sea has returned, so let it go."

The old lady snorted and said, "I will go with you to the sea, and you must follow me!"

Qu clenched her hands in her sleeves.

The old lady really had the nerve to say that she would let a woman who was still in confinement go to a mass grave!

But she was also very curious about why Qianqian said that they would not investigate Wen Chengyi's matter after they went to the mass grave, so she agreed.

"When the old lady speaks, the daughter-in-law should obey."

……

Soon, the group arrived at a mass grave in the western suburbs.

Birds and beasts gather here, and the air is filled with a foul odor.

The old lady looked anxious when she came, but when she really got here, she felt timid.

Qu saw that the old lady wanted to get back into the carriage, so she took the initiative to support her.

"Madam, I will help you walk. I heard from the servants who came back that Yi'er is at the innermost of this mass grave. If we walk a few steps inside, I think we will be able to see him."

As Qu spoke, she almost dragged the old lady inside.

The old lady could neither retreat nor leave, and finally could only let Qu pull her forward.

Wen Zehai is a man after all, and the knife in his hand is stained with blood.

Faced with this environment, he felt sick but not afraid, so he walked in front.

However, just as he reached the place where Qu directed him, he glanced down and was suddenly so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
