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

Even after several days, Mrs. Cui still trembled with anger when she thought about what happened that day.

That day, I learned that Choi Sang-jin had returned.

She originally had some expectations in her heart.

Because when her two daughters were gone, she sent him a letter, hoping that he would come back.

At the very least, he is her husband and the man of the family.

But Cui Shangjin has not returned yet.

She knew that the journey to Huangzhou was long and it was possible that Cui Shangjin would not be able to come back for a while.

Therefore, knowing that Choi Sang-jin had returned, she even wanted to complain to him.

Tell him how sad she was that her two daughters were gone.

But, she asked one more question.

When she heard from the maid who delivered the message that Cui Shangjin had returned and was in a very good mood, her heart instantly sank.

I don't want to see him at all.

Unexpectedly, he found her yard and spoke excitedly: "Madam, I'm back. Why didn't you come out to greet me?"

At that time, she was extremely sad and angry.

Both of his daughters are gone, and as a father, he still has the mind to worry about these things?

She couldn't help but scold Cui Shangjin.

Of course, Cui Shangjin is not the type of person who would swallow his anger.

The two had a big fight.

Hearing this, Cui Shuyan asked, "Do you remember what he said when you were arguing?"

"Remember." Madam Cui's eyes were slightly red. After calming down, she continued, "He said that he would soon become rich and His Majesty would personally meet him. When the time comes, he told me not to cry and beg him. He also said that if I was disrespectful to him, he would not be soft-hearted even if I cried and begged him."

"Any more?"

"After that, there was nothing. But I could sense that he was very arrogant when he came back this time, as if he was sure that he had some great fortune. In the past, when he relied on my family for everything, he was not like this. Perhaps, he met some noble person."

"Didn't he tell you the specific details?" Cui Shuyan asked.

"No." Madam Cui shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The relationship between him and I is not close enough that we can talk about anything."

Cui Shuyan didn't say anything, just stood up and was about to leave.

At this time, Madam Cui said, "Perhaps, you can go ask Madam Wen. In the past, he doted on Madam Wen the most and was willing to talk to her about anything. He has been staying at Madam Wen's place for the past few days since he came back."

Cui Shuyan nodded and planned to go directly to Madam Wen.

At this time, Madam Cui's gloating voice came from behind: "It's really ridiculous. Cui Shangjin used to like this little bitch named Wen the most. But now that he is dead, she is the first one to run away. If I hadn't discovered it in time, she would have escaped. It's really ridiculous, the one he cared about doesn't care about him..."

Cui Shuyan went straight to Madam Wen's yard.

At this moment, two tall old women were guarding outside her yard, taking strict precautions.

Seeing Cui Shuyan coming, the two maids immediately made way and invited Cui Shuyan in.

This Madam Wen was Cui Shangjin's new concubine two years ago. She was originally a daughter of an official, but unfortunately her father was convicted of corruption and her family fell into poverty.

After being favored by Cui Shangjin, he took her home to be his concubine.

As they didn't have much contact with each other on a daily basis, Cui Shuyan didn't know the character of this Madam Wen.

Who would have thought that when they met, the one who took the initiative to speak was actually Madam Wen.

"Ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."

Cui Shuyan didn't ask in a hurry, but only asked one question to test Madam Wen's attitude towards Cui Shangjin: "As soon as Cui Shangjin died, you were in a hurry to escape. What's the reason for this?"

"If I don't run away, am I going to be buried with this scumbag Cui Shangjin?"

Hearing this, Cui Shuyan asked directly: "Do you think Cui Shangjin's return this time is different from before?"

Based on Madam Wen's attitude and her original intention to escape, Cui Shuyan felt that Madam Wen would not lie.

To take a step back, even if Madam Wen was lying, she could still conduct multiple investigations and find other clues.

"Yes. Cui Shangjin was very happy when he came back this time, just like a villain who had succeeded. He said that he was summoned back to the palace by His Majesty himself because of his meritorious service in governing Huangzhou. He also said that when he became a high-ranking official, he would make me his first wife. The night before yesterday, he got drunk and still yelled for me to be the queen. He is really crazy!"

"Has he ever told you in detail about his strategy for governing Huangzhou?"

"I didn't want to talk to him much, I just said a few words when he was talking. I didn't ask, and he didn't elaborate." Madam Wen paused, "Also, he was very generous when he came back this time. Not only did he buy me a very heavy gold bracelet, he also gave me a hundred taels of silver notes and let me spend it as I pleased."

As she spoke, Madam Wen took out the gold bracelet and silver bills.

Cui Shuyan took a look at it and returned it to Madam Wen.

"Fucheng, the servant Cui Shangjin brought with him to Huangzhou, did not come back with him. The one who came back with him this time was a stranger. He usually trusted Fucheng very much and would not fail to bring him back for no reason. Presumably, he left Fucheng in Huangzhou to do some things for him. And these were things that he was not confident in leaving to others. Besides power, what he cared about most was money. So I guess Fucheng stayed there for money."

After that, Madam Wen added, "You must rescue your brother. It's not worth risking your life for a scum like Cui Shangjin."

Cui Shuyan glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to leave here?"

"Yes. Madam Cui didn't dare to treat us harshly before, but after her two daughters died, she not only killed Aunt Fang, but also ordered people to beat Aunt Fang's seven-year-old daughter. She was ruthless when dealing with us. She was a little afraid of me before, and it was also because of that scum Cui Shangjin. Now that this scum is dead, she can't wait for me to die quickly. Death is easy, but falling into her hands is worse than death. Aunt Fang's daughter is still tied up next to the dog pen in the backyard..."

Madam Wen wiped her tears and said, "She is only seven years old. Even if her mother did something bad, what does it have to do with her? A seven-year-old child, her body was covered with wounds. The eldest lady also had her tied up next to the dog pen and deliberately didn't feed the dogs. The dogs were extremely hungry and gnawed her legs..."

Later on, Madam Wen couldn't bear to continue.

After listening to this, Cui Shuyan looked at Madam Wen's room and found that there was nothing left in it.

There wasn't even a vase for decoration.

I guess it was all looted by Madam Cui.

"Pack your things and I'll take you away from here now." Cui Shuyan said bluntly.

Madam Wen was very surprised. After looking around, she smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing to pack. The eldest lady has already sent someone to search. If I hadn't hidden it well, she wouldn't have left even this gold bracelet and banknotes for me. But with these, I won't starve to death when I go out."

"where is your family?"

"All dead."

"Well, let's go."

Cui Shuyan stood up and walked out, but her sleeve was pulled by Madam Wen.

Turning around, Cui Shuyan happened to meet Aunt Wen's earnest eyes...
