Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Seeing that she would not cry until she saw the coffin, Gu Qingchen immediately gave an example and asked the elders present to be witnesses.

"Song Wanyin, you have been married into the Gu family for three years, but you have not given birth to a child for me to inherit my legacy. This is your first sin.

You used despicable means to send away the famous doctor who was treating my mother, causing my mother's eye disease to worsen. This is the second crime.

All the current financial resources of the Gu family are monopolized by you alone, causing the family to be stretched to the limit. This is the third crime.

As the mistress of the marquis's mansion, you took the lead in causing trouble and instigated all the servants in the mansion to go on strike, leaving behind a mess and damaging the dignity of the Gu family. This is the fourth crime.

What's even more infuriating is that you are born jealous and cannot tolerate Lan Yue and the fetus in her belly. You deliberately want to ruin this marriage. This is the fifth sin.

Your two uncles heard the news that you were having an affair with a man outside your family. Although they didn't catch you on the spot, you ruined the reputation of the Gu family. This is the sixth crime.

You were bent on seizing all of the Gu family's wealth and resorted to despicable tactics, causing internal strife within the Gu family. The birthday banquet was a scene of uproar and you became a laughing stock in the capital. This is your seventh sin.

Just based on these seven charges, I am more than enough to divorce you, a vicious woman. What else do you have to argue about?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

The four elders could never have imagined that a woman who was barely able to even tie a chicken would resort to so many despicable means.

Originally, he came here to denounce Gu Qingchen and Gu Qingye, but the situation changed and he became the one who was blamed for all the faults of Song Wanyin.

Elder Xi sternly rebuked:

"Song Wanyin, do you admit to these seven charges?"

Elder Nan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared:

"You were born into a noble family, and your father was a former military commander. How could he raise a daughter like you who is so fierce and vicious?"

Elder Bei re-examined Song Wanyin and was furious:

"It seems that we have misunderstood Brother Chen. You are the culprit."

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian sat on both sides, feeling very happy. With the support of the four elders, they thought Song Wanyin would have no way to defend himself.

Once Song Wanyin's guilt is proven, the Gu family will be able to dominate her and control her at will.

The second and third wives had already started to make plans in their minds, planning to find an opportunity to make a fortune from Song Wanyin.

Some have even set their eyes on some rare treasures and are eager to possess them.

Facing the accusations from the elders of the Gu family, Song Xingzhou snorted coldly:

“You, the Gu family, are of one mind, and you are blaming our Wan Yin with so many mouths. This is really too much.

These seven charges cannot be proven by words. If you have the ability, please produce evidence.

As far as I know, your Gu family is not upright at the top and the bottom are crooked at the bottom. The elders do not behave like elders, and the husbands have no sense of responsibility.

The whole family depends on Wan Yin to run their lives, but who among you has ever really cared about her?"

Mrs. Song's face darkened and she smiled sarcastically:

“These seven charges you keep making are really ridiculous.

First of all, the first one is not true. I heard that on the day of the Marquis's wedding, my wife Wanyin and I slept in separate rooms.

Later, he asked for permission to go on a military expedition, which lasted for three years.

How could Wan Yin, alone, be pregnant with a child?

Secondly, everyone in the entire Shangjing City knows that Wan Yin is considerate and sensible.

When his mother-in-law was seriously ill, he took care of her daily life without taking off his clothes.

In order to invite the famous doctor to treat him, he knelt outside the door for a day and a night. Finally, his filial piety moved the famous doctor.

These facts are known to everyone if you ask anyone outside.

After all, your Gu family is a well-known and prominent family. Since the old marquis passed away, all the family property has been squandered.

If it weren't for Wanyin's dowry that filled the deficit in the mansion, I'm afraid your whole family would have to starve.

What's more, all the servants in the mansion were loyal old people from the former Taiwei's mansion. They only recognized Wan Yin as their master and naturally obeyed her orders.

Why should I be called upon and dismissed at will by you?

We were all present when the Marquis came to propose marriage, and we can still remember it vividly.

The Marquis had promised Old Madam Song that he would never take a concubine in this life, and would take good care of Wan Yin and live with her until old age.

He went back on his oath so quickly and even got someone else pregnant. He then shamelessly asked His Majesty for permission to marry a concubine.

As for what the Marquis said about having an affair with a man outside his home, that was completely groundless and a fabricated accusation.

To catch an adulterer, you have to catch them in pairs. If you have the guts, please produce witnesses and physical evidence.

Otherwise, our Song family will go before His Majesty and accuse you of slander."

Every word and sentence was heartbreaking and hit the Gu family's weak spots directly.

The hypocritical mask was exposed nakedly, revealing the ugly true face.

Although the Song family has rarely had contact with the Gu family over the years, as Song Wanyin's only relative, they are always paying attention to her life. Is she living a good life?

No matter what, the Song family is full of loyal ministers. How could they allow others to bully them so easily?

Even though the Grand Marshal passed away and the Grand Marshal's Mansion declined, as descendants of the Song family, they still have this backbone and bloodiness.

Seeing that they refused to admit their mistake, the old lady burst into tears and said:

“So is my eye disease slanderous?

Come and see, my eyes are becoming increasingly cloudy and unclear, and I am about to face the risk of blindness.

All of this was caused by Song Wanyin, and you guys are still protecting her. You are simply birds of a feather."

Song Wanyin frowned slightly, and her eyes turned cold:

"Mother-in-law, you can criticize me, but you can never criticize my family members at will.

Ever since I married into the Gu family, I have had no regrets, not towards any of you.

When your condition was seriously ill, I spent both money and effort to find famous doctors to treat you, and I saved you from the brink of death several times.

I didn't sleep for five days just to take care of you.

Gu Qingchen's career path was entirely dependent on the support of my father's subordinates, and I spent a lot of money on social networking.

This allowed him to rise rapidly in career, gain promotions and gain a firm foothold in the imperial court.

As for my younger brothers and sisters, none of them are capable of anything. They are always out there causing trouble and making big messes, leaving me to clean up the mess.

Over the past three years, most of my dowry has been used to fill the huge hole in the Marquis's Mansion.

If the Gu family really wants to settle old scores with me, then they should make up for all the shortfall in my dowry.

It just so happens that the four elders of the Gu family are all here today, so let’s just settle the accounts one by one.”

The corners of Gu Qingchen's mouth twitched fiercely:

"Song Wanyin, the Gu family doesn't have that much free time to settle old scores with you.

Today, I invited the Song family here to witness my divorce.

I only need a letter of divorce, and I won't be able to take a penny of your dowry."
