I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

"Go ahead." Minister He replied.

"Father, my husband and I have been investigating spies in the mansion recently, so we have placed the servants in the mansion under close surveillance. Please give your daughter-in-law a quarter of an hour, and she will be able to find out who this man had contact with before he died."

"Oh? How is this done?" Minister He said, seeming very interested.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. My daughter-in-law told them privately that they should always pay attention to the people around them and report anyone they think is a spy. If they are found to be true, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

You have to know that the servants in the mansion, even the first-class maids, only receive two taels of silver per month.

These one hundred taels of silver were a sky-high price for them.

In this way, they will naturally always pay attention to the people around them and be more careful about everything.

Speaking of which, this strategy was taught to Zhao Simin by Cui Shuyan.

It turns out to be very useful.

Using this method, she has already uncovered several spies.

Minister He immediately agreed and asked Zhao Simin to investigate.

After Zhao Simin left, He Yuyao yawned delicately and said lazily, "Father, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."

He Shangshu showed kindness on his face and was about to speak.

Cui Shuyan spoke first: "Sir Shangshu, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so please wait a moment, Miss He. The Second Young Master's wife will be back soon, so you can't wait too long."

Minister He frowned.

He has reached his current position as an official, so he is certainly not a stupid person.

Cui Shuyan said this, indicating that He Yuyao was somehow involved in this incident.

Thinking of this, Minister He glanced at He Yuyao and said, "You go back first."

He Yuyao was overjoyed: "Yes, father."

After saying that, He Yuyao looked at Cui Shuyan provocatively and walked outside.

Cui Shuyan naturally knew what Minister He's intention was.

As a father, he was afraid that this matter would be found out to be related to He Yuyao, which would make him lose face.

At the same time, it also damaged the brother-sister relationship between He Shaoyun and He Yuyao.

After all, he still favors his daughter.

Cui Shuyan reached out to stop He Yuyao: "Sir Shangshu, isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Minister He said calmly.

"I slapped Miss He earlier because I believed that what happened today was related to her. She yelled at me to give her justice. Now that the truth is about to be revealed, Miss He is leaving now. Does that mean she doesn't want justice? Or is Miss He's reputation not worth mentioning? Anyone can slap her in the face?"

He Yuyao was annoyed: "Cui Shuyan, you are clearly making trouble!"

"Miss He, justice will be given to you right now. Don't you want it? Or are you afraid?"

He Yuyao raised her chin with an arrogant look: "What should I be afraid of? My father is here, whether I am here or not, he will give me the justice I want."

"After all, seeking justice from others is not as interesting as seeking it yourself."

He Yuyao was extremely angry: "You..."

Minister He's face darkened: "Doctor Cui, you are being too demanding now."

"Really? In today's incident, the Second Young Master's wife was wronged. She will find out the truth soon. Now she is pregnant, does the Minister want to disappoint her? What she is carrying in her belly is the grandson of your He family."

Minister He said nothing, just looked at Cui Shuyan coldly.

He Wenxuan sat aside and didn't say anything.

After watching all this, he understood.

I’m afraid what happened today is really related to my sister.

And the father wanted to protect his sister.

For a moment, He Wenxuan couldn't believe his own judgment.

My sister is a member of the He family, so how could she harm the descendants of the He family?

How is this possible?

Just at this moment, Zhao Simin came back, followed by several servants.

At Zhao Simin's signal, the servants told their findings one by one.

In the end, the blame was directed at the same person, He Yuyao's personal maid, Cuizhu.

He Wenxuan quickly looked at He Yuyao and found that Cuizhu, who had always been inseparable from He Yuyao, was not present today.

Things became clear.

Zhao Simin knelt down in front of Minister He and said sadly, "Father, please give me and my unborn child an explanation for this matter."

She almost lost her child.

This was her child who had come with great difficulty, and she would never allow anyone to hurt him!

This is not just a child, but also the hope that has sprouted for her after experiencing countless despairs!

If even this child is going to have problems, then she doesn't want to live anymore!

Minister He was in a dilemma and looked at He Yuyao slowly: "Yao'er, what do you think about this matter?"

"Father, Cuizhu has done something dishonest, so I punished her. I guess she wanted to take revenge on me, which is why what happened today happened. She wants to put me in an unjust situation!"

Minister He seemed to be relieved: "I see. Even so, you are still guilty of negligence. Why don't you apologize to your second sister-in-law!"

He Yuyao immediately bowed deeply to Zhao Simin and said in a sad voice, "Second sister-in-law, it is my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. I hope you will forgive my mistakes and do not blame me."

"Don't blame me? He Yuyao, are you treating everyone as fools? Cuizhu has been with you since she was a child. I've never heard of her doing anything dishonest. Why did she do something dishonest at this moment?"

"Second sister-in-law, are you unwilling to forgive me?" As He Yuyao spoke, there was a hint of tears in her voice.

Zhao Simin's face was as cold as ice: "It's not that I don't forgive you, but you never realized your mistake from the beginning to the end. Besides, it's not me you feel sorry for, it's your second brother. Do you know how happy he is about the child in my belly?"

He Yuyao straightened up and said in a neutral tone, "Sister-in-law is so aggressive, it's obvious that she has already regarded me as the murderer. If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. It seems that no matter what I say, sister-in-law won't believe it. In this case, I have nothing to say."

Zhao Simin is a straightforward person. After hearing what He Yuyao said, she wanted to rush forward and tear off the disguise on her face.

If Cui Shuyan hadn't pulled her, she would have really done it.

She is the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhao. Marrying into the He family is considered a downgrade. She married into the He family because she values ​​He Shaoyun. In the past, she has never suffered such humiliation.

Cui Shuyan naturally knew what Zhao Simin was thinking.

However, Zhao Simin didn't understand that compared with her daughter, her daughter-in-law was still inferior.

Moreover, at He Yuyao's current age, it is time to discuss marriage. If her reputation is in trouble at this time, it will hinder her marriage.

Indeed, at this moment, Minister He felt a little resentful that Zhao Simin was not sensible enough.

But he couldn't say that openly.

Minister He coughed lightly and said, "Simin, what do you want to satisfy me this time?"

Zhao Simin said coldly, "Father, as the saying goes, the husband is the leader of the wife. Today's matter is too big, and I can't make the decision myself. I have sent someone to ask my husband to come back. When my husband comes back, if you have anything to say, just tell him."

If the daughter-in-law were to face off against the daughter, she would naturally have no chance of winning.

So, what if it's a daughter versus a son? What should we do?

Coincidentally, just as Zhao Simin finished speaking, He Shaoyun's anxious voice came from outside: "Min'er!"
