Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 668

When he saw that the servants and maids in the marquis's mansion were dressed neatly and acted efficiently, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

It was in his anxiety that he welcomed Shi Yunqi, the prince of Jian'an Marquis's Mansion, and Wei Cailing, the mistress of the house.

After greeting each other, Shi Yunqi sat down and asked directly, "I heard that you divorced my eldest aunt last night?"

The eldest son of the Marquis Qiu Hongyuan's mansion was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked a few years younger than his son Qiu Zhiyan.

His uneasy heart finally settled down a little, and anger appeared on his face. "Yes, that's true."

"What's the reason?" Shi Yunqi frowned.

"The seven grounds for divorce are 'improper immorality'." Qiu Hongyuan said.

"Where is the evidence?" Shi Yunqi asked again.

It was one thing that he hated his aunt, but after all, she was still from their Jian'an Marquis Mansion. Now that she had died outside, the other party wanted to leave her alone and even swallow up her dowry. How could it be so easy?

Qiu Hongyuan spoke without hesitation, very angry, "What evidence do you need? Shi Shi is not a faithful wife. Mo'er said with her own mouth that she is not my daughter, but my second brother's daughter. Many people heard it."

Shi Yunqi was not annoyed, he just asked, "A merchant died in the suburbs yesterday, was it you who did it?"

Qiu Hongyuan was shocked. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shi Yunqi's eyes were calm and his expression remained unchanged. "Isn't it? But there are people outside who are spreading the word. They say that there are a few people named Qiu who are greedy for profit and forget their principles. They robbed people of their money and killed them."

Qiu Hongyuan was furious. "How can this be! You can't just talk nonsense. You need evidence for everything!"

Shi Yunqi suddenly laughed coldly and lightly, "What evidence do you need? It's just a matter of lip service."

Qiu Hongyuan: “!!!” He is really criticizing me! I underestimated him!

Just as Qiu Hongyuan was about to attack, he saw Shi Yunqi gesture to the servant beside him.

The servant handed over a suicide note written in blood.

Qiu Hongyuan cursed as he watched.

The suicide note said that Qiu Hongyuan had defamed her and divorced her on false charges in an attempt to seize her dowry.

She had no choice but to fight with her own life and her daughter's life.

If Qiu Hongyuan still had a conscience, he should bury her and her daughter in the Qiu family's ancestral tomb according to the ritual of mistress and legitimate daughter. In this way, all the dowry under her name will belong to her son Qiu Zhiyan, and no one else can touch it.

If Qiu Hongyuan insisted on divorcing his wife, he hoped that her family, Jian'an Marquis Mansion, would take back all her dowry for her. Moreover, he would sue the Qiu family for the crime of trying to seize the dowry, divorcing her and forcing her and her daughter to death.

At the end of the suicide note, she specifically mentioned that she felt guilty towards the Jian'an Marquisate, especially towards the Crown Prince Shi Yunqi. If there is an afterlife, she wishes to be a kind and loving aunt.

Placed together with the suicide note was a long list of Shi Wanqing's dowry, noting which items she had used up and which were still in the Qiu Mansion.

When a mistress passes away, she will explain everything clearly and without any ambiguity.

The words conveyed a meaning: she could die, but her dowry had to be taken back. Otherwise, she would have to be buried in the Qiu family's ancestral tomb according to the mistress's rules.

This way, she would be cleared of all charges.

Qiu Hongyuan's face looked extremely ugly, but he didn't know how to refute.

If they were confronting each other, he could still have a quarrel with Shi Wanqing. But the person was dead, and whatever he said now would be throwing dirty water on the dead person.

Because he has no evidence!

Even if Qiu Zimo stood in front of him, he had no evidence to say that his daughter was his brother's daughter.

After all, he and his brother look somewhat similar.

It's like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

Qiu Hongyuan was very angry, "You, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, will take care of my funeral!"
