Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

"Neighbors, you can't believe what you just said..."

As soon as Qiao's mother stood up and started to speak, she was pulled back by Qiao's friend. He said with a sullen face:

"Mom, don't say anything, let's move our things and leave quickly!"

Both Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were very puzzled.

Father Qiao said:

"Teacher and friend, now that we have obtained the divorce agreement and have nothing to do with the Qin family anymore, why should we be afraid of them?"

Teacher Qiao pursed his lips tightly, his face extremely gloomy:

"I'll tell you later in the car."

The person with the most opinions and the most intelligence in the family is Mr. Qiao, and neither his father nor his mother dare to go against his wishes.

After the family had taken away their luggage and belongings, got in the car, and left the street where the Qiao family's courtyard was located, Qiao Shiyou said:

"Mother, did you mean to say that it was because that vicious woman Qin Zhenniang tortured me to death that we had no choice but to tell those lies and give her all our property to get rid of her?"

Mother Qiao said:

"Yes, that's the truth."

Teacher Qiao said with a serious face:

"Where's the evidence?"

Facing the two people's puzzled looks, Teacher Qiao unzipped his clothes.

There were indeed many faint purple marks on the fair skin, but there was no trace of the shocking appearance of being beaten all over.

Originally, the injuries on Qiao Shiyou's body were the most convincing evidence against Qin Zhenniang, but now, even the marks left on children by being beaten by their parents were more serious than this. Who would believe that Qin Zhenniang tortured him to death every time?

The fingers and toes that had been pricked with needles were originally very swollen, but Zhenniang had people apply medicine on him every time after torturing him. In addition, in the following days, they tortured him by pasting "promotional officials" on him, so there was no convincing evidence on his body now.

"Every time she beat me, she would ask the doctor to treat my wounds and have someone apply medicine on me, all for this day."

"It's useless for us to reveal the truth now. No one will believe it. They will only say that you are mean-spirited. Throwing dirty water on the ex-daughter-in-law right after the divorce will only make our family's reputation worse. It has no effect."

Teacher Qiao gritted his teeth:

"If there's a commotion, Qin Zhenniang can turn the tables on you and send you to the government office to be beaten with a stick on the charge of false accusation, or even use this as an excuse to try to deprive me of my title as a juren!"

When Qiao's father and mother heard this, they were shocked and angry:

"That vicious woman is so cunning, she thought of such a far-reaching matter so carefully!"

Teacher Qiao said bitterly:

"She must have a master behind her, we are not as skilled as her, we are not as powerful as her, we have no choice but to suffer this loss."

The news of Qin Zhenniang's divorce reached another devout believer in Cihang Temple, the current prefect Yan Qingzhi, and he was also shocked.

On the first day of the new year, Qin Dafu just returned home and found that his daughter had been abducted. He reported it to the yamen runners who were looking for her, and also asked Yan Qingzhi, who was the Tongzhi at the time, to get a search warrant for his son-in-law's house.

Therefore, Yan Qingzhi was still very concerned about the progress of events at that time.

The next day, the captain of the police in charge of Qiaojia Street was called in to inquire about the situation that day in person.

After learning the whole story, Yan Qingzhi was troubled and could not help but sigh to his wife:

"The son-in-law of the Qin family is really a tricky blood-sucking leech. He is smart and cunning, and knows how to incite people to protect himself. Even if the Qin family secretly attacks that friend Qiao in the future, it will be easy to leave a handle and bring disaster to the family."

"If the Qin family wants to get rid of this son-in-law, they will probably have to suffer a lot."

Although Mrs. Yan had no daughter, she was very indignant when she heard about the cunning and shameless behavior of Teacher Qiao.

"If there is anyone who can help, you must help, sir."

Yan Qing's way:

"The Qin family is deeply favored by the master of the temple. It never hurts to be on good terms with them. I will naturally help if I can."

At that time, there were rivals like the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion and the Zhang Family in the southern capital city. Even he did not dare to act rashly and get too involved in this matter.

Originally thought that this would be a long tug-of-war, during which the Qin family would have to go through many bad things, but unexpectedly, in just twenty days, the daughter of the Qin family actually divorced the ambitious son-in-law.

Not only did she divorce, but she also received a sum of compensation from the Qiao family that was enough to bankrupt the Qiao family, and even brought her grandson back to the Qin family.

Such a complete victory in divorce is rare from ancient times to the present.

In this era, unless something is deliberately publicized, the speed at which news spreads is actually very slow, and it may even be gradually lost over time during the process of transmission.

Therefore, even though Yan Qingzhi was the prefect, he was not clear about the inside story.

Fortunately, it will be the first day of the new year in two days, and all the devout believers will go to Cihang Temple to burn incense. Maybe I can ask my wife to ask the Qin family then.

*

On the first day of the new year, three generations of the Qin family came to Cihang Temple.

Not only did people come very early, they also offered very rich and precious offerings, almost equal to the sum of all other people's offerings.

When the believers who came later saw the huge offerings, they were all a little shocked and muttered to themselves:

What the hell is wrong with the Qin family? They raised the specifications of the offerings so much all of a sudden.

That's thousands of taels of offerings. Even if the Qin family is wealthy and the temple master has already said that everyone can just come on the first and fifteenth of every month.

But if we offer such expensive offerings every time, how long can we afford it?

We should at least pay attention to the long-term approach.

Otherwise, the Qin family would be prominent, but it would make them, the devout believers, seem less sincere towards the master of the temple, which would be a really unfair thing to do.

After burning incense and offering sacrifices, everyone gathered together again and discussed the matter in a low voice.

Mrs. Yan, who knew some of the inside story and had already made some guesses, said:

"Don't worry, everyone. The Qin family will definitely not increase the specifications of the offerings for no reason. There must be a reason for it."

As they were talking, they saw the Qin family of four walking out from the direction of East Garden.

"Who is that young girl? I haven't heard that the Qin family has an unmarried daughter?"

Zheng Yuannai's wife, Wei, asked.

As latecomers, the Zheng family still has great respect and concern for the Qin family, their model believers.

Many wives of merchants also looked at it carefully and were also very puzzled after one look.

"Isn't that Qin Dafu's daughter Zhenniang? Why is she wearing her hair in the style of an unmarried girl?"

Just as I was wondering, I saw Madam Yan coming up to me and said with a smile:

"I heard that Zhenniang finally divorced her ambitious husband. Congratulations on escaping the cage!"

Zhenniang came today to personally thank the abbot.

She also offered half of the dowry that the Qiao family paid as compensation as a sacrifice.

Seeing that Madam Yan was friendly and did not look down on her divorced status, she bowed politely:

"Thank you Madam Yan for your concern. Zhenniang has not had the chance to thank Lord Yan for his generous help! If Lord Yan's search warrant had not arrived in time, Zhenniang's life would have been lost to that thief Qiao."

The other believers were curious and gathered around to ask what was going on and why it was so dangerous.

Qin Dafu finally solved a major problem and was in a very good mood.

While offering sacrifices, I was also thinking whether this matter could be made known to other believers so that they would be more loyal to the master of the temple.

If possible, the Qin family wouldn't mind sharing their experiences.

Just now after coming out of the East Garden, he specifically asked Taoist Master Huiyun and got permission, so he smiled and said:

"We are all familiar with this matter. Since you asked, I, Qin Dafu, will tell you about this ugly family situation."

He talked about how friend Qiao contacted Zhang Jinghong privately, and how Zhenniang and her grandson threatened the Qin family to deceive the temple master and treat the eldest son of the Jingnan Marquis's mansion.

Hearing his firm refusal, everyone secretly admired him.

Even the wife of Duke Dingguo, who was not afraid of the power of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion and the Zhang family, had to admire the courage of the Qin family, a mere merchant, to reject the powerful and their incomparable loyalty to the master of the temple.

Hearing him talk about the dangerous situation when he rescued Zhenniang, everyone started sweating and was also very curious:

"That thief Qiao is so greedy and cunning. How could he let Zhenniang divorce so easily if he hadn't sucked the Qin family dry?"

Qin Dafu smiled complacently and said:

"Not only did we divorce that thief Qiao, we also made the Qiao family willingly compensate Zhenniang for the dowry she had given to the Qiao family and took her own son away. Even so, no one in the surrounding neighborhood said a bad word about Zhenniang!"

This aroused everyone's curiosity even more, and they asked them how they did it.

Especially for Mr. Yuan, who loves his granddaughter as the apple of his eye, he was afraid that his granddaughter would meet the wrong person. He thought the Qin family's experience of divorce was very wise and did not want to miss it at all.

Qin Dafu didn't keep it a secret, he bowed in the direction of Dongyuan and said with gratitude:

"This is all thanks to the guidance of the temple master, who taught us Zhenniang to win people over with virtue."
