The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Madam Sanshan, I have been kind to you many times because you are my elder. But if you continue to speak wildly and insult me, don't blame me for being merciless!" No matter how good Zhao Yuhao's temper was, he couldn't stand this kind of torture.

He threw the contract fiercely in front of Madam Sanshan and said, "There are several people's fingerprints on it. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."

The paper fell in front of her like a falling leaf. Zhao Yuhao's anger was like a raging flame, with no sign of extinguishing. "If Madam Sanshan still has objections, then I will go and ask the emperor to send another official to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Madam Sanshan was shocked. Since Zhao Yuhao dared to say that, this matter probably had nothing to do with Xue Jinhua.

She took a glance at the extremely stupid daughter-in-law in front of her. Madam Sanshan wanted to cut her into pieces. What a fool who was capable of causing trouble instead of doing anything good. It would have been bad enough if she had a vicious heart, but she even left evidence for others to catch her.

She had also heard a little about the Zhao family's affairs. Zhao Yuxuan's future had been ruined, and the relationship between Xue Jinhua and Wang was quite tense. Although the Zhao family was implicated now, Xue Jinhua would not lend a helping hand.

But her family is different. Although her son is a minor official, her eldest grandson is a promising person. The future of their Zhou family must not be ruined in the hands of a woman.

"Lord Zhao, is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?" Mrs. Sanshan's tone softened as she thought about the consequences.

Seeing that she was quite sensible at the moment, Zhao Yuhao hurriedly said, "Madam Sanshan, the court has its own laws, and I am just acting in accordance with the law."

Seeing him being so unkind, Madam Sanshan panicked and quickly looked at Xue Jinhua beside her: "Madam, no matter what, Wang is your mother and Zhou Wang is your aunt. Can you bear to watch them both being locked up?"

Xue Jinhua lowered her eyes and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was trying her best to distance herself from the relationship and drag herself into it, so why didn't she think about the fact that the two families were related?

Now that things have turned out like this, you're going to start talking to me about family affection?

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!

"Madam Sanshan, what you said is really difficult for me. The court has its own laws and those who do wrong should be punished. Otherwise... do you think the court's laws are just for show?

And… as for my aunt, she did something wrong, and as a junior, I have no right to comment on her. Her punishment is a decree of the imperial court…"

These words cleared himself so cleanly that no one could find any flaws in him.

No wonder her stupid daughter-in-law was defeated by this young daughter-in-law.

"You are so cruel!" Madam Sanshan pointed at Xue Jinhua with shaking hands and said, "Even if Wang Shi did a thousand things wrong, she is still your mother-in-law. You are so disregarding her affairs now that you are unworthy of being a wife. You are so unfilial!"

Xue Jinhua's face immediately turned cold, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. Madam Sanshan, do you want me to go against the emperor's will and ignore the court's orders to protect my mother?

Madam Sanshan, you know that my aunt has made a mistake, but you still want to defy the imperial court's order? In your heart, is filial piety more important than the emperor? "

When Madam Sanshan received this compliment, she was instantly panicked. The emperor was the Son of Heaven. How dare she think that filial piety was more important than the emperor?

She leaned on her cane, her face full of anger, and scolded, "You are just talking nonsense. Of course, the emperor's will is the most important."

"In this case, there is evidence of my mother and aunt's case. Then we should deal with them according to the imperial court's order."

Seeing how determined she was, Madam Sanshan knew that this matter was beyond redemption. She sighed deeply, "Are you really so heartless?"

Xue Jinhua shook her head. "Mrs. Sanshan, you are too serious. I am only speaking based on facts. Although my aunt committed a crime, she did not kill anyone. If she admits her fault with a better attitude, I believe the higher-ups will give her a lighter sentence."

Of course, if he gets away with it this time... and still doesn't repent, he will definitely get worse in the future. If someone takes advantage of him, he will be used as a handle against him in the future, and it's hard to guard against."

Mrs. Sanshan was shocked when she heard what Xue Jinhua said. That's right! Why didn't she think of these questions?

Old Mrs. Zhou glared at Xue Jinhua fiercely, her eyes filled with hatred and anger.

She wanted to rush up and tear Xue Jinhua's hateful mouth apart immediately, but she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of her mother-in-law, so she could only hold it in until her face turned red.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was persuaded by Xue Jinhua, Mrs. Zhou became extremely anxious and said quickly: "Mother, I know I was wrong. I beg you to save me." As she spoke, she looked at Madam Sanshan with tears in her eyes, trying to gain sympathy with her pitiful appearance.

"Mother, please don't listen to what this little bitch says. She is as vicious as a snake and has ulterior motives. She wants me to die immediately! Even if you don't feel pity for your daughter-in-law, don't you think about your eldest grandson?"

"shut up!"

When she mentioned her eldest grandson, Mrs. Zhou's anger grew stronger. "If it weren't for my eldest grandson, I would have divorced you, the evildoer, long ago."

Mrs. Sanshan's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Old Mrs. Zhou speechless for a moment.

Compared to going to jail, being divorced is more terrifying.

Wang originally wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing that her sister was so powerful that she was speechless, how could she dare to speak easily?

I can only blame Xue Jinhua for being too cruel and not taking her as my mother-in-law seriously. When she comes out of the cell, I will definitely let her know how powerful I am.

However, Wang probably never expected that she would never have such an opportunity again in her lifetime.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Zhao Yuhao ordered, "Come here, bring these two people to the government office. I want to interrogate them in detail."

“No…no…”

Wang and Zhou Wang shouted in unison, very panicked, "Sir, we know we were wrong, please forgive us..."

Zhao Yuhao had a gloomy face and was unmoved. "If you have anything to say, go to the government office and say it."

"Stop, they can't leave yet." A hurried shout came from a distance, stopping several people from moving.

Xue Jinhua looked towards the door in the direction of the sound, and saw an old man from the clan walking hurriedly towards them.

"Yuhao, the chieftain is here, please wait a moment."

After a while, the chieftain came tremblingly with the help of several servants. His steps were like a candle in the wind, weak and frail. If he hadn't had someone to help him, he would have had difficulty walking.

Xue Jinhua was extremely surprised. "Great Patriarch, what happened to you?"

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but once he talked about this, the patriarch's eyes were like two sharp knives, shooting straight at Wang, and his eyes were filled with endless hatred.

Wang was obviously frightened by this look. She avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What else could have happened? If I hadn't been reminded in time, I would have almost lost my life."

Xue Jinhua looked towards Wang, only to see that she had buried her head even lower, as if she wanted to hide herself in the ground.

Zhao Yuhao was puzzled, "Uncle, what happened to you?"

"Mrs. Wang sent some snacks to me, claiming it was an apology. I didn't suspect anything because we were all from the same family.

After the person left, I didn't think much about it and just picked up a piece and ate it.

Unexpectedly, I had just eaten one piece when my stomach was in unbearable pain. If your aunt had not come in time, I would have died long ago."

Xue Jinhua frowned. She had only guessed that she might poison him, but she never thought that he would actually do such a cruel thing to the patriarch.

Zhao Yuhao's eyes instantly turned red, and he glared at Wang fiercely, "How could you be so cruel? How did your uncle let you down? How could you do such a cruel thing?"

To Zhao Yuhao, the patriarch had been very kind to him and was like a second parent to him. He would never allow his uncle to make the slightest mistake.

Wang was so angry that her hair stood on end. She was panicked, but she still stiffened her neck. "Nonsense! How could I poison the chieftain? He must have eaten something that made him sick, but he blamed me for it."

"At this point, you still refuse to admit it?" Zhao Yuhao was so angry that his chest hurt.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xue Jinhua hurriedly reminded, "Yuhao, don't be impulsive. The cakes my mother sent must not have been eaten up. It's better to let the doctor come and check whether there is any poison."
