An was pinned to the ground by several strong old women. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was a mess, but she was still struggling and shouting like a shrew.

Xie Jingyuan panted and leaned towards the chair, but just as his butt touched the chair, he jumped up quickly. Just now, when An went crazy, his first reaction was to stretch out his arms to protect his face. At this moment, his arms, back, and even butt were burning with pain.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the back of his hand. His face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He said angrily, "Jingliang, why is An going crazy?"

Xie Jingliang fell to the ground, his left eye swollen and bloodshot at the corner of his mouth. He said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, the runners from the Dali Temple returned Xuan'er's body. An couldn't accept the fact for a while, and it turned out like this."

Xie Jingyuan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Did the yamen runners explain why Xuan'er was killed?"

Xie Qingyao's face was as pale as paper, and a swollen red mark on her forehead was shocking. She was gently helped to the soft couch by the maids. She felt unbearable pain all over her body, and anger was rising in her heart. She secretly vowed not to let An go.

Suddenly hearing Xie Jingyuan's question, she immediately clenched her handkerchief and looked at Xie Jingliang nervously. Has the Dali Temple found out the cause of Xie Tingxuan's death?

Xie Jingliang shook his head helplessly and said softly, "The yamen runners only said that it was the abbot of Xuanjing Temple who did the evil. I continued to ask, but they said it was confidential and they couldn't tell me anything!"

On the other side, the maids gradually loosened their hands when they saw that An had calmed down. After all, An was still the second wife, and as servants, they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

An suddenly jumped up like an angry leopard. She pounced on Xie Jingliang and grabbed his neck with both hands. The force was so great that it seemed as if she wanted to crush Xie Jingliang's throat.

Xie Jingliang held onto An's arms tightly with both hands, trying to break free from her restraints, but An was so powerful that she seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. Xie Jingliang's face turned red and his breathing became increasingly difficult.

The stunned crowd finally reacted and rushed forward to pull An away. It took a lot of effort to pull An away.

Xie Jingyuan looked at An with lingering fear and said coldly, "Tie him up!"

The old women quickly found ropes and tied up An's hands and feet.

Xie Jingliang, who had survived the ordeal, rubbed his neck and coughed violently. He struggled to stand up and quickly hid beside Xie Jingyuan, saying in a hoarse voice, "Brother, this woman is crazy. I want to divorce her!"

An lay on the ground and struggled hard like a loach, but the rope was too tight. The more she struggled, the more painful it became.

She turned her head and stared at Xie Jingliang intently, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, and shouted loudly: "I'm not crazy, you bastard! Just because you got a new concubine, you despise us mother and son. You teamed up with that bitch Xie Qingyao to trick Xuan'er into going up the mountain, and then conspired with that demon to kill him!"

"I'm not crazy, don't even think about asking me to give you the new seat!" Her eyes were angry and determined, and she looked like she wanted to die together with Xie Jingliang.

Xie Jingliang couldn't help but shudder. He grabbed Xie Jingyuan's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother, help me!"

Xie Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "Have you thought it through? If so, go and write the divorce letter."

Xie Jingliang nodded vigorously, ran quickly to the table, and told his aunt Haitang to grind the ink quickly.

Xie Jingyuan curled his lips into a cold smile, and looked at An Shi with a cold and mocking gaze, and shouted, "Come here! Go to the An family immediately and notify them to come and pick up the people."

Seeing Xie Jingliang's determination to divorce her, despite their over a decade of marriage, An was utterly panicked. Her gaze swept across the room, pleading. But she had been too arrogant in the past, and the only family members who could offer any advice collectively stepped back.

An's eyes swept over Xie Qingyao, who curled her lips slightly and sneered, "Second Aunt, Yao'er will call you Second Aunt one last time. You've caused such unrest in the Marquis' Mansion, it's only right that Second Uncle divorce you!"

"Speaking of my younger brother Xuan'er, he is unlucky to have a mother like you. As the saying goes, 'spoiling a child is like killing him'. You spoiled him to such a lawless character. It's not surprising that he ran around everywhere in Xuanjing Temple and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives and lost his life!" She said as she glanced at Xie Qingli in the corner of her eye.

An's gaze also turned to Xie Qingli. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she said loudly, "Xie Qingli, you have to be careful of that bitch Xie Qingyao. Look how good she is at sowing discord! For so many years, your mother-in-law and the Marquis have had deep grievances against your mother, and it's all because of her instigation."

"Aunt, please go find your mother. She's the only one who can save me now."

Xie Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly. In her previous life, An's mother and daughter had bullied her mother a lot. She didn't expect that in this life, before she could take any action, An would end up like this. It's true that ghosts are afraid of evil people!

She looked troubled and shook her head gently, saying, "Second Aunt, Mother has a very severe cold. Besides, in this family, Mother can't make decisions for anyone. She can't help..."

An shook her head with difficulty and said hurriedly, "No, no, she can do it, the Jiang family can do it. If she is willing to help me, I am willing to tell her the secret of the Xie family, that is, the Xie family's silver of unknown origin..."

Xie Jingyuan's face changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: "Quick, block her mouth!"

The old woman who was guarding An immediately took the handkerchief in her hand and stuffed it firmly into An's mouth, regardless of whether the handkerchief was used to wipe the table or wipe her nose.

Xie Qingli looked at Xie Jingyuan with amusement. Xie Jingyuan's face was distorted due to panic! She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It seemed that this secret was the Xie family's weakness. She immediately became interested.

In a short while, Xie Jingliang had already written the divorce letter, and people from the An family had already arrived, led by An's younger brother An Jie.

An Jie was four or five years older than An Shi. He failed the imperial examinations several times, so he chose to go into business and is therefore a very smooth person.

An Jie was shocked when he saw the scene in the house, especially when he saw Xie Jingliang's face, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. It seemed that the people in the Marquis' Mansion were serious when they said that his brother-in-law wanted to divorce his sister!

He put on a smile, bowed to Xie Jingyuan and Xie Jingliang, and chuckled, "My Lord, brother-in-law, is my sister angry again? She is sometimes impulsive, but she is not a bad person. If she has done something wrong, please forgive her and calm down. It is definitely not to the point of divorce!"

Xie Jingliang stuffed the divorce letter directly into An Jie's arms and said coldly: "It's not a divorce, it's a divorce!"

An Jie held the divorce letter in his hand as if it were a hot potato, forcing a smile as he said, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? My sister and you have been married for more than ten years. We fight at the beginning of the bed and make up at the end of the bed. Besides, you raised Qi'er and Xuan'er. Why did it have to come to this?!"

Xie Jingliang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

Xie Jingyuan pulled Xie Jingliang behind him and said in a cold voice: "An Jie, you don't need to bother trying to persuade me. Even if my second brother doesn't want to divorce his wife today, my Jing'an Marquis Mansion will still do it."

"Looking back, An has been arrogant and domineering in my mansion, committing countless evil deeds. The mansion has already given her chances, but she doesn't know how to repent..."
