After Mrs. Cui came back again, she was not as aggressive as before. She sat there with her hands folded on her knees, and did not say a word.

Madam Xie had injured her ankle and was unable to move, so she had to sit on the bed and move closer to her. She said in a gentle voice, "Jinhua, we have been sisters for many years, why do we have to make things so awkward?"

Madam Cui looked at her fingers without even raising her eyelids: "Madam Xie, you are flattering me. How could I, Gao Jinhua, have such a good reputation with you for so many years?"

"You sound aggrieved. But am I not aggrieved? I can't leave the house, so I can only let Cui Shuyan bring Chunya to the banquet. I also sent someone to tell you in advance to help them at the banquet. But you, not only did you not help them, but you actually targeted them. You dare to say that you have no selfish motives in this matter?"

After hearing this, Madam Cui's face became a little awkward, and she said awkwardly: "Who asked Cui Shuyan to provoke Yuyao? Yuyao is my niece."

"I have already found out the whole story. It was Gao Yuyao who provoked first, saying that Chunya was sent away because of Lin Xinrou. You know Chunya's temper, she is like a firecracker, she gets angry easily. How could she obey after hearing this?"

"Even if that's the case, we have to solve it behind closed doors. We can't make a scene in public!"

"Wasn't it your niece Gao Yuyao who made the scene in public? If she hadn't been shouting so loudly, how could this matter have attracted the attention of others?"

Madam Cui didn't like what she said. "Does that mean my niece should be tolerant in everything? I asked Yuyao. At that time, Chunya said that Yuyao was dark and that she put on too much powder, and it was of poor quality. You know that Yuyao hates it most when someone says she is dark. Even her own mother dares not mention her skin color. She even cannot stand the word dark. In front of her, she would say that it is dark as if it is not day."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Madam Cui glared at her unhappily. "You think this is funny, don't you? This just shows that Yuyao is very sensitive about the word black. But Chunya is talking about this. How can she not be angry?"

"Okay, I'm okay with being angry. But we can't let the quarrels between these young people affect our relationship. Tell me, how can I solve this matter to your satisfaction?"

"After all, this matter is not Chunya's fault. Chunya is simple-minded, so she can't think of so many twists and turns. It must be Cui Shuyan who is behind the scenes fanning the flames. So, I don't want you to do anything to her, just divorce her."

After saying that, Madam Cui raised her eyes to look at Madam Xie, her eyes full of hatred: "I will make Cui Shuyan have no one to rely on in life and no one to rely on in death, and become a lonely ghost in this world, and she will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

Madam Xie's heart skipped a beat. She had not expected that Madam Cui's hatred for Cui Shuyan had reached such a level.

You must know that if the wife dies, she will be buried in the ancestral tomb of her husband's family, and a tablet will be placed in the ancestral hall for future generations to worship her.

But if he divorced Cui Shuyan before she died, her body would have to be returned to the Cui family.

Where would the Cui family bury her?

I'm afraid we can just roll up a straw mat and throw it into a mass grave and be done with it.

It seems that Madam Cui's hatred for Cui Shuyan has reached its peak.

Madam Xie weighed the options in her mind and said, "I can promise you. But it will take some time."

Madam Cui looked over immediately and asked, "Are you trying to fool me?"

"How could I be perfunctory with you? It's just that Cui Shuyan is lucky. She went to the temple to burn incense and actually saved Kong Xianwen. You also know that Shaohang is at a critical juncture of the imperial examination. If he can get the guidance of Kong Daru, he will definitely make rapid progress. The imperial examination is only a dozen days away. You wait for a dozen days. After the imperial examination, I will let Shaohang write a divorce letter to Cui Shuyan."

Madam Cui was slightly surprised: "Cui Shuyan is capable of this? She is not trying to bluff you."

"No. Shaohang has confirmed that it is indeed the handwriting of Mr. Kong. It was Achang who was beside Shaohang that day who saw Cui Shuyan enter the gate of the Kong Mansion. Moreover, Mr. Kong also annotated Shaohang's article, and those annotations are indeed at Mr. Kong's level, there is no doubt about it."

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll wait for Shaohang's good news." Madam Cui walked forward and took a look at Madam Xie's ankle. "Is your injury better now?"

"much better."

"That's good. Take good care of yourself, I'll come visit you later."

Madam Xie nodded in agreement, and the two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Madam Cui took her leave.

When Nanny Rong sent Madam Cui back, Madam Xie's face darkened: "What do you mean by good sisters? Now you have learned to threaten me."

The two of them were indeed good sisters before, and it was precisely because of this relationship that she would tell Madam Cui anything that happened on a daily basis.

As time went by, I lost my mouth and said some things that I shouldn't have said.

She didn't think there was anything wrong in the past, but once the relationship between them was broken, the words she said in the past would become a knife that would cut her!

Aunt Rong felt uneasy: "Madam, do you really want to do what Madam Cui said?"

"She's so angry, we have to calm her down first. As for whether to divorce Cui Shuyan, we still have to think about it carefully."

……

At this time, Cui Shuyan was sitting in her room, listening to Qiaoya's report: "Miss, I hid in the corner and saw everything clearly. Madam Cui came, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by Rong Madam. Madam Cui went to Madam Cui's courtyard again, and when she came out again, her face was not as ugly as before."

Cui Shuyan guessed that Madam Cui and Madam Xie must have reached some kind of consensus.

There is no doubt that this consensus is directed against her.

Without thinking too much, Cui Shuyan knew what Madam Cui was asking for.

It's just that I feel unwilling to accept that the person I have controlled for many years has betrayed me.

Especially since she lost so much face this time, I'm afraid Madam Cui has already decided to kill her.

However, Madam Xie would not take action against her at this time, because she is still useful now.

If she was of no use at all, she would have been killed quietly before today.

At least she was safe until Xie Shaohang took the imperial examination.

As expected, people still have to become useful, otherwise, they might be killed by others at any time.

Cui Shuyan slept quite soundly that night.

However, in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw someone standing in front of her bed.
