Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 44: I Request to Divorce Wen Shi

ah--"

A scream was heard because an old woman was holding a night pearl. When Nanny Jiang looked up, she saw Lu Yu's cold little face.

She shuddered and saw other people out of the corner of her eye. She looked at them one by one and saw Lu Jingmo.

She knew she was finished. Fear took over her mind and she didn't feel how much pain her hand was in.

"Please spare my life, my Lord. Please spare my life. I am only following the Madam's orders."

"Please spare my life."

Lu Jingmo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glanced at Lu Yu and found that she was looking at him with a smile.

He knew she wanted to see how he would deal with Wen.

"Bring these three people here." Lu Jingmo ordered coldly and turned to walk towards the house where the person guarding the ancestral tomb lived.

Late at night, a window was brightly lit, and in the small room, a person was sitting in the main seat.

To his lower right, there is a little man sitting on an armchair, and to his left, there is also a man sitting on an armchair, with men and women standing around him.

There were two unconscious people lying in the middle, and a woman with half of her body covered in red. The red color was from the blood flowing from her ears. She lowered her head and shivered.

"Wake up those two people." Lu Jingmo, who was sitting in the upper seat, spoke.

Qin Yishi rushed forward before the deputy coach and kicked each of the two men. After feeling the pain, the two servants slowly woke up.

When they saw the light, an expression of relief appeared on their faces.

But soon, the two found something wrong. They sat up with a start, and when they saw the person sitting in the main seat, their faces gradually turned pale.

Kneeling on the ground, he shouted, "Mercy."

Lu Jingmo tapped the table with one finger, his eyes sharp, and he spoke slowly: "Tell me, what's going on!"

Before the three of them could speak, he added, "You only have this one chance. If you dare to conceal or deceive this prince, you will lose your head."

Lu Yu glanced at his grandfather and thought to himself, Grandfather is really kind. He actually wants to spare these three people?

In novels, in order to prevent family scandals from being exposed, people kill each other to silence them?

"It was Madam Jiang who found me and Xiao Zhuzi and said that the Madam wanted to find someone to do something for her. She saw that we were smart, so she chose us."

"We are naturally happy to be favored by the master, and we are happy to do our best, but..."

"But no one thought it was about digging graves. We didn't want to do it, but Madam Jiang threatened our family members."

"The servants had no choice but to do this!"

"Please spare my life, Duke!"

Lu Jingmo didn't say anything. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Nanny Jiang. "Why, Nanny Jiang doesn't want this chance?"

Hearing this, Nanny Jiang was startled and lowered her body even more. "I said that the day before yesterday, Madam suddenly gave me an order to dig up Qin Shu's body.

I wanted to refuse, but Madam is the master, and I can’t resist.”

"I am guilty, please give me a lighter punishment, my Lord."

Lu Jingmo's eyes were cold, "What is Madam's purpose?"

"Madam didn't tell me. She just told me to dig up the body and put it on the farm outside the city. She didn't say anything else."

"I didn't tell you anything, so what did the lady say to you?"

When Lu Jingmo heard that the body was placed on the farm, he felt that the Wen family was not just venting their anger, but must have other purposes.

In order to save her life, Nanny Jiang quickly recalled everything.

"Madam wants to make a golden statue for the Buddha in Lingshan Temple, but she doesn't have enough money, so she wants to use the dowry of Madam Qin and Madam Liu."

"Mrs. Liu volunteered to ask for Mrs. Qin's dowry, and also suggested that she could borrow some from the Qin family."

"Madam also said that since you are Miss Lu Jiabao's grandfather, you should also give a share."

After hearing this, Lu Jingmo understood what was going on. The purpose of digging up the corpse was probably to threaten the Qin family!

Humph, that’s a really good idea.

And Liu Yuzhu was not a person who would easily get trouble. She even volunteered to ask for Qin Shu's dowry, but in the end she not only didn't get it, but also lost her wet nurse.

Proposing that the Qin family borrow money must be a sinister thing to do!

The third son, Lu Xian, is indeed blind.

Although Qin Shu is a merchant's daughter and has a lower status, at least she doesn't have so many complicated thoughts. She is transparent and reassuring.

Lu Yun and Lu Yu on the side also thought of the real purpose of the Wen family. Lu Yun had a look of disdain on his face, thinking that such despicable means would never be tolerated in public.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Old man," which successfully made her even angrier.

In ancient times, if a lady made a mistake, she would either die quietly or be sent to the family temple.

Lu Yu was not satisfied with these two punishments at all. To die quietly was too easy for her.

Sending the ancestral temple away means that life will be a little harder, but the person is still alive and well, and it cannot be considered a punishment.

Well, I need to think carefully about how to punish her.

At dawn, Lu Jingmo and Lu Yu had returned to the general's mansion. Lu Jingmo directly detained Nanny Jiang and the other two Xiao Si, and would decide how to deal with them after the matter was settled.

Wen has been very irritated since yesterday, as the amount of silver required to sculpt the golden statue is not insignificant.

She exchanged all her dowry for gold, but after calculations by professionals, it was found that all the gold she exchanged for her dowry could only be used to make one Buddha statue.

There are hundreds of Buddha statues in Lingshan Temple. Even if all the Qin family’s wealth is taken, it probably won’t be enough.

If she could not replace all the Buddha statues in Lingshan Temple with golden ones, she could imagine what these people in the capital would say and laugh at her.

No, maybe he was already laughing at her the moment she said that.

Even a brainless person can imagine how huge the cost is to create so many golden bodies of Buddha statues.

But she didn't expect that she would spread the word like this. If she hadn't spread the word, she would have chosen one of the Buddha statues to make a golden body, and she wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing situation.

Worried and filled with the ridicule of others, Wen fell ill again last night.

When Shaoyaoyuan saw the Duke coming in with a cold face, a maid immediately went in to report to Wen.

Ke Wen was still drowsy and did not get up when she heard the maid's report.

The maid was helpless and replied tremblingly, "My Lord, the Madam is seriously ill and cannot get up."

Lu Jingmo said nothing, but pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Give this divorce letter to your wife."

"From now on, this prince will have nothing to do with her."

Everyone in the yard was stunned when they heard the divorce letter. The maid also stood there in a daze, not daring to take it.

Their wives were divorced, actually divorced.

Lu Jingmo loosened his fingers, the divorce letter fell to the ground, and he turned and walked out.

Lu Yu stood at the gate of the yard with a smile on her face, watching Lu Jingmo stretch out his little hand.

Lu Jingmo snorted coldly, but still held her hand and walked towards the front yard of the general's mansion together.

Divorce Wen and have a good talk with San'er to prevent him from getting stuck in a rut.

Lu Jingmo glanced down at the jumping little person and was really frightened.

On the way back from the ancestral grave mountain, the little man was negotiating with him.

Her request was to divorce Wen, and her reason was that she thought this was the best way.

He didn't agree at first, as Xiu Wen had a great influence on San'er.

His idea was to keep Wen away from the capital and send someone to watch her to prevent her from doing anything naughty.

But this little girl actually threatened him, saying that if he didn't divorce her, she would spread the word on the streets that the Duke's wife had dug up her daughter-in-law's grave and would use her daughter-in-law's corpse to extort benefits from the Qin family.

The moment he heard this, he was furious. As a grandson, he dared to threaten his grandfather, which was extremely rebellious.

In addition, her careless attitude also frightened him.

No matter what dirty deeds any family in the capital does, they will be covered up and never made public.

After all, everyone will be prosperous if they gain, and everyone will suffer if they lose.
