Seeing the mother and son of the Gu family singing the same tune and reprimanding Song Wanyin for all her faults, Song Xingzhou stood up to defend her:

"Madam, Lord Marquis, since you can't produce any evidence, all the slanders you just made are invalid.

Morally and logically, the Marquis had no reason to divorce his wife.

If the Marquis insisted on divorcing his wife, he simply wanted to embezzle Wan Yin's dowry.

This is eating and taking at the same time, please don’t eat in an ugly way. "

Mrs. Song was so angry that her cheeks flushed when she saw them exaggerating and framing Song Wanyin:

"A tree needs bark, and a person needs dignity. A dignified Marquisate can't just live on a woman's dowry, right?

If this gets out, you might get stabbed in the back.

This is the first time I have heard of the concept of living off someone for free. "

Gu Qingchen felt a burning pain on his cheeks, as if he had been slapped in public. He said angrily:

"All this is due to Song Wanyin's unrighteousness and unfilial behavior. I can agree to let her keep 20% of the dowry, which is the most I can do for her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Gu family members became complicated and varied. Some agreed, some were unwilling, some were greedy, and some were opposed.

Elder Xi considered it again and again and said:

"We are husband and wife, so we should part ways amicably. Leaving her 20% of her dowry will allow her to live a decent life in the future."

The Second Lady said unwillingly:

“As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water.

The dowry items naturally belong to the Gu family, so why should they all be returned?"

The Third Lady followed up with a sarcastic tone:

"That is to say, since Song Wanyin committed one of the seven offenses against women, her entire dowry should be withheld. Why should we leave her only 20%?"

It would be great if we could give this 20% to the third room, it would be a timely help.

The lady thought about it and objected:

"I don't agree either. I originally wanted to leave her some money to make ends meet because of our relationship.

But she just defied me, and now that she still doesn't repent, you won't get a penny."

Song Wanyin had already seen through the true colors of the Gu family and exposed their scandals one by one:

"Well, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin.

Then let’s just settle all the new and old grudges together.

Ever since I married into the Gu family, you have been racking your brains to defraud money, valuable calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques, and gold and silver jewelry from me.

I tried to help him out of consideration for our relationship, but I didn't expect that he would become even worse in return, and he almost emptied out all my family assets.

Mother-in-law, ask yourself, every month just the daily expenses of the mansion and your medical treatment and medicine, don’t we spend several thousand taels of silver?

Last time you were attacked at the temple gate, I tried my best to protect you, but unfortunately I was stabbed and almost lost my life.

Until now, I still suffer from angina pectoris.

In fact, I don’t have many years left to live with this injury. If I want to prolong my life, I need the precious and rare dragon bone blood.

This kind of medicinal material is only available in the imperial palace, and even a marquis's mansion would have to spend half of its fortune to obtain it.

But you played deaf and dumb, kept the truth about my illness hidden from me, and hoped that I would die soon so that you could swallow up all my dowry to satisfy your selfish desires.

The second and third rooms would have new problems every month. They would use all sorts of excuses and reasons to take funds from me for emergency use, but they never paid me back a penny.

You all know what the Gu family has done, do you need me to continue?"

Gu Qingchen's face was filled with shock. It turned out that she knew everything. Could it be that she had actually woken up a long time ago on the day the doctor treated her?

At this moment, he suddenly felt guilty of attempted murder.

"Song Wanyin, what else do you know?"

Song Wanyin's eyes darkened and she asked back:

"Why? Are you afraid I know something?"

Gu Qingchen was stunned by the question. The reason why he wanted to marry Jiang Lanyue in a hurry was because she was dying.

As Song Wanyin's health condition deteriorated, the position of the mistress of the marquis's family naturally fell on Jiang Lanyue.

By then, Song Wanyin would be useless and throwing her away would be as easy as throwing away a piece of waste paper.

Song Xingzhou and his wife could never have imagined that the Gu family would use such despicable means to rob Song Wanyin of her money and kill her.

"My Lord, a husband and wife for a day is a hundred days of grace.

For your own selfish reasons, you actually dare to disregard human lives.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, you are disrespecting the royal law, which is really abominable."

"Fortunately, my Wanyin is blessed with a good life, if something bad had happened to her.

The Song family will be the first one to not forgive you and will definitely bring ruin to your Gu family."

The elders of the Gu family were ready to take action, and they accused Song Wanyin of all kinds of faults and belittled her as worthless.

Song Wanyin turned around and ordered Tiancheng and Nanny Wei to bring all the account books of the mansion for the past three years. They recorded the details of income and expenditure clearly written in black and white.

"On January 10, the second house suffered losses in business and came to ask for three thousand taels of silver.

On February 15th, the third wife was cheated in a business deal with a foreigner and came to ask for five thousand taels of silver.

On March 20th, Gu Qingchen took away three thousand taels of silver without specifying its purpose.

Later, after investigation, it was found that a large amount of money was spent every month for no reason.

It turned out that Gu Qingchen bought Haitang Villa outside to build a love nest with Jiang Lanyue.

On April 3, my mother-in-law's eye disease relapsed. The medical treatment and medicine cost 5,000 taels of silver.

On May 17, Gu Qingye was drinking and gambling outside and smashed the gambling house. He was detained by the owner and a ransom of 6,000 taels was demanded.

besides……"

The Gu family members' faces looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit. They felt like they had thorns on their backs and were sitting on pins and needles. They couldn't save their dignity anymore.

Gu Qingchen glared at Song Wanyin angrily. She had peeled off the veil layer by layer, and all her scandals were exposed to the public.

So he rushed forward in anger, snatched the account book from her hand, and threatened:

"Song Wanyin, since you are the mistress of the Marquis's family, the power to manage the family is handed over to you.

I'm spending a little money on you, and you're still quibbling about it.

To be honest, you have no other way out now except to kneel down and beg for mercy, letting me pity you and take you in.

Once I divorce you, you will become a real abandoned woman and live a very miserable life for the rest of your life.

It is impossible for you to go back to your hometown with your cousin. After all, your roots are in the capital, and you still have to visit the graves of your deceased parents.

Of course, you have no hope now. Even your only brother is still missing and his life or death is uncertain.

Let me put it bluntly, maybe he died on the battlefield like your father, and the yellow sand buried his body.

Don't expect him to come back and support you."

There was a chill in Song Wanyin's eyes. She hated him the most for cursing her brother and raised her hand to slap him.

"Shut your crow mouth."

Gu Qingchen quickly grabbed her slender wrist and sneered:

"What? You still want to hit me?

I let you succeed last time, and I’ve learned my lesson this time. I won’t let you slap me again.

Your unfortunate brother, if he is still alive, why doesn't he ever send you a letter?

There has been no news for three years, and he might have turned into a pile of bones by now."
