Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Father Qiao also came out at the right time and said:

"Neighbors, you all know that my Qiao family's ancestors also had a prefect, so how could we not have savings? My grandfather originally left a large sum of money for his descendants to prepare for their official careers. Unless there is an extremely urgent matter, it cannot be used before someone passes the imperial examination."

"But our teachers and friends are worried that our daughter-in-law comes from a wealthy family and won't be able to get used to the hard life in our house, so they insist that we spend money in advance to buy servants and improve the standard of food, clothing and daily necessities in our house."

"I never thought that my love would be treated so badly!"

By the end, his face was filled with grief.

Qiao's mother, who had been listening behind the door for a while, also came out with a handkerchief, wiping her tears, and complained angrily:

"We are scholars. If the news of Hua using women's dowries spreads, it will ruin our reputation and ruin our future! You are the father-in-law and wife, but you are so vicious!"

"Also, you said that if the dowry is less, we will use it. I said that you secretly moved back to your parents' home! Everyone knows that my daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' home several times a year!"

Such a strong argument made it impossible to refute it.

Zhenniang was so angry at these cunning and shameless words that she trembled:

"You...you are confusing right and wrong. You clearly used my dowry but you refuse to admit it!"

"At the beginning, I was only concerned about the self-esteem of my fellow teacher Qiao, so I handed over cash and banknotes. There was no evidence. You clearly had this planned and did it on purpose!"

Teacher Qiao also looked sad and grief-stricken:

"Mother Zhen, it was indeed my fault for hitting you, but you really misunderstood me. No matter how you slander me, I will never agree to a divorce, and I will never agree to you taking away the only heir of the Qiao family!"

"If the Qin family wants to use their power to force others to go to Master Xuedao to falsely accuse me, then go ahead! I believe that there is still justice and law in this world. If I am stripped of my honor, there will be countless scholars in the world who will speak up for me and file a complaint with the emperor on my behalf!"

Since the Qin family cannot provide evidence that he spent his wife's dowry and was about to abandon her, they cannot prove that he has a bad character.

If he was stripped of his title, it would mean that the Qin family had bribed Master Xuedao.

By then, he will spread the news and incite many scholars to speak up for him. With Lord Zhang protecting him from behind, he doesn't believe that those who help the Qin family will not suffer misfortune.

If today's words were to spread, even if the Qin family came with money, I'm afraid no one would dare to take up this hot commission.

Qin Dafu clenched his fists.

After decades of doing business, he had never encountered such a helpless situation.

It is one thing for the enemy to be cunning and take advantage of all the laws and etiquette.

On the one hand, Zhenniang was completely unprepared and did not leave any evidence, which put her at a complete disadvantage.

Adding the two together, he now has no way to deal with Master Qiao's family.

Even if he could use his relationship with Lord Yan, Duke Dingguo and others to have Master Qiao stripped of his official title, or even force the government to order Zhenniang and Master Qiao to divorce.

But now they can't cover the sky with one hand after all.

There are not only the Jinyiwei and Silijian in the city of Nandu, but also the Zhang family, which stands on the opposite side of Cihang Temple.

With such an obvious handle, how could the Zhang family not take advantage of it?

If Lord Yan, Duke Dingguo and others really helped him, I am afraid that after the matter gets out of hand, their fate will be even worse than that of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

It is impossible for him to completely disregard the interests of Cihang Temple and other believers for the sake of his own daughter.

After weighing the pros and cons, there is no other way but to be patient.

Other ways:

"Since you are refusing to admit that you used Zhenniang's dowry and are unwilling to divorce, what can our Qin family do to you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors all looked at Qin Dafu with sympathy.

Although what the Qiao family said about Zhenniang's dowry seemed to make sense, they had been neighbors for decades and knew each other well, so they were not willing to believe that the money was left by the Qiao family's ancestors.

They were just relying on the fact that Zhenniang was stupid and left no evidence of them spending the dowry, so they could use clever words to argue.

The Qin family and the young daughter-in-law Zhenniang are really unlucky to have encountered such a family and cannot get rid of them.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Qin Dafu say:

"Then why are you still standing there? Since you haven't divorced me, I'll still be your father-in-law. How can you let your father-in-law stand outside and talk like this?"

He actually brought a dozen strong servants with him and stayed directly at the Qiao family.

But he is the father-in-law and the elder, and the Qiao family has just asked not to divorce, so there is no reason to drive him away.

When the Qiao family heard that Qin Dafu wanted to stay for a long time, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

Qin Dafu felt equally uncomfortable.

Now that the two sides have completely torn their faces apart, and Master Qiao refuses to divorce, then without the Qiao family's permission, even if the Qin family is Zhenniang's biological parents, they cannot take her away without the permission of her husband's family. Otherwise, if they sue the government, they will be charged with the crime of abducting a woman.

Qin Dafu could only move into the Qiao family himself to prevent the two elders of the Qiao family and Qiao's teachers and friends from taking revenge on Zhenniang.

I have never felt so aggrieved in my life.

But he could only endure and wait.

Wait until Zhang Jinghong leaves and the incident has completely passed, then make a move behind the scenes to directly destroy Master Qiao so that he will no longer be able to threaten Zhen Niang.

Dozens of people from both sides spent a day crowded in the small courtyard of the Qiao family, and Teacher Qiao and his friends began to get impatient.

He had promised Lord Zhang that he would send him good news within three days.

Now that two days had passed, he had no time.

After entering the inner house, no one had to pretend in front of outsiders. Qiao Shiyou went straight to the point and said to Qin Dafu:

"What I'm asking for is just a piece of cake for my father-in-law, so why do you have to make things so awkward?"

"You promised me early, isn't it good for everyone?"

"Especially Zhenniang and Yuange'er, you can't protect them forever like you are doing now!"

The last sentence is full of malice.

Qin Dafu didn't even want to say a word to him and just kicked him out.

Not long after, the Qin family's doorman who stayed outside came to report:

"Sir, the old lady sent you a letter."

Qin Dafu unfolded the letter and was immediately delighted.

His mother told him that the temple master had already learned about the invitation to the Qin family, and sent someone to the Qin Mansion in the afternoon to pass on a message, saying that if they wanted to completely get rid of Master Qiao and take Yuan Ge'er away, they could let Zhen Niang go up the mountain tomorrow.

Qin Dafu can now say that he has absolute confidence in the master's abilities and wisdom.

The temple master said that she could solve the problem of Master Qiao, so Qin Dafu believed that she could definitely solve it.

Reading the contents of the letter, Qin Dafu was so moved that his eyes turned red.

Obviously, there are many people who can replace the Qin family now, but the master still favors the Qin family as always!

When I learned that their family had encountered troubles that I couldn't solve, I was the first to come to support them!

The master's love and kindness is something I can never repay!

Qin Dafu was so excited that he immediately went to tell his daughter Zhenniang the good news.

Zhenniang, who was originally filled with despair, regained some light in her eyes after hearing this.

That afternoon, Qin Dafu found his friend Qiao and told him that the Qin family was willing to take Zhenniang to the mountain to plead with the abbot.

The prerequisite is that Teacher Qiao must write a letter of commitment, guaranteeing that from now on they will no longer beat or mistreat Zhenniang and Yuange'er.

Teacher Qiao thought that the Qin family had finally figured it out and decided to compromise, so he happily signed the letter of commitment and let Zhenniang go.

Of course, he was not completely defenseless. The prerequisite for agreeing to let Zhenniang go out was that the Qin family sent Yuange'er back to the Qiao family.

The Qin family agreed and sent Yuan Ge'er back to the Qiao residence early the next morning.

Holding his son who was sent back, Qiao Shiyou looked at the Qin family's carriage leaving with a proud look on his face.

Although he went through many twists and turns this time, he finally succeeded!

At this moment, he had no idea that his bad days had just begun.
