Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Xiangxiu's heart tightened, and the hand that was slapping herself paused for a moment.

Cui Han's cold gaze fell on Xiangxiu.

"Clap clap clap."

Xiangxiu came to her senses and slapped herself hard across the face again.

"No!"

"Xiangxiu has served me for more than ten years."

"Han'er, she did it for the sake of our mother-son relationship. Don't you care about your mother at all?!"

Madam Cui stared at Cui Han with resentment and anger.

Cui Han remained completely unaffected and asked again:

"Mother, what did you give Qian A-San, arsenic or laxative?"

Think carefully before you answer. Little Liu, the deliveryman from the village, has been poisoned to death; his body is still at the yamen (government office).

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Madam Cui thought that the woman standing in the back watching the show was deliberately slandering her.

As Cui Han finished speaking, she looked on incredulously.

She knows her son.

Her son may seem cold and tough, but he is actually the most upright person.

Since he said Xiao Liu is dead, it must be true.

Madam Cui immediately panicked: "I gave you a laxative, how did it turn into arsenic?"

Although I wanted to teach that brat from the countryside a lesson, I didn't intend to kill anyone.

What exactly is going on? "

After saying that, Madam Cui turned around and grabbed Xiangxiu's hand that had slapped her:

"Xiangxiu, I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. What exactly happened? Explain it to me clearly."

Cui Han had already grasped the key point.

His gaze was as cold as ice, staring at Xiangxiu as if she were already dead: "Were you the one who pulled this stunt? What was your motive?"

Xiangxiu realized that her bad deeds had been discovered, and given the old man's upright and incorruptible style, she knew she couldn't escape today.

I might as well stop pretending.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

She let out a maniacal laugh.

"Why? Tell me why!"

Madam Cui was so shocked by what she saw that she couldn't close her mouth and stared blankly at Xiangxiu.

"You wretched servant, you..."

"You old fool, what right do you have to call me a lowly servant? You're even more despicable than me!"

Xiangxiu's eyes were filled with madness as she interrupted the old lady's curses.

"Why do you think I've served you so diligently for so many years? I've treated you better than my own mother."

Isn't it because you promised me that you'd let me be your master's concubine?

Who knew you old slut were just using this to string me along?

I've had enough of your strange temper. Look at all these years, which servant in the courtyard has ever been loyal to you?

Don't you know what kind of person you are? You still have the nerve to call me a lowly servant.

You're despicable, you're despicable, you're the most despicable!

After arguing with the old lady, Xiangxiu released the resentment she had been holding in for years, and her expression softened considerably.

However, Old Madam Cui was so angry by Xiangxiu's series of outbursts that her hands trembled uncontrollably.

He couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Seeing this, Cui Han called over the maids outside and had them carry Old Madam Cui to the bed.

"Go and fetch the imperial physician."

"Yes, sir."

The maidservant acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Cui Han turned to look at Xiangxiu.

Just when Xiangxiu thought the man would continue to ask her why she poisoned the woman and how she did it,

Cui Han coldly ignored her and looked at Cui Yifeng: "Send him to the yamen. The murderer who poisoned Xiao Liu has been caught."

Cui Yifeng summoned Cui Yi and Cui Er.

"Did you hear what the old man said? Go on."

Cui Yi and Cui Er stepped forward, grabbed Xiangxiu, tied her hands behind her back, and walked out.

Xiangxiu refused to leave, suddenly breaking free of her restraints, grabbing the threshold with both hands, and screaming in despair:

"Cui Han, you can't do this to me! How dare you treat me like this!"

I've loved you for so many years, and I've been taking care of you, my difficult old mother.

If I hadn't taken care of you in front of the old lady, how could you have been able to serve as an official in the capital with peace of mind?

She clearly promised me that when you come back this time, you can take me as your concubine!

You heartless man! Liar, scum, beast!

Xu Qing: "...!?"

Cui Han: "...Gag him and drag him out right now!"

Cui Yi and Cui Er never expected that this seemingly frail woman could unleash such great power.

Caught off guard, she broke free. Cui Yi quickly stepped forward and pried Xiangxiu's hands off, not daring to underestimate her this time.

He casually picked up a rag of unknown purpose, stuffed it into Xiangxiu's mouth, and pushed her toward the yamen.

Cui Han felt a headache coming on, but he brazenly said to Xu Qing:

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Madam Xu. It seems my mother was unaware of this matter either."

"So, I have a new idea about compensation. Would you like to discuss it with me, Madam Xu?"

She was, after all, his mother. Xiangxiu had already made her faint from anger. If she woke up, he would make her write a guarantee and pay compensation.

He was afraid that he would anger his unreasonable mother to death.

Xu Qing had just watched a gossip session and was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Hearing Cui Han's words, she crossed her arms and asked, "How does Lord Cui wish to discuss this?"

"The compensation we agreed on will remain the same, but could you give me this money privately, without mentioning it to my mother?"

After speaking, Cui Han cautiously looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thought that this guy was trying to renege on his debt after finding out that it wasn't his mother who poisoned him.

So that's what it was.

"No problem, the most important thing is the guarantee. It doesn't matter who gives me the money, as long as it's money."

Cui Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he wanted to say that he would provide both the guarantee and the money.

But after thinking it over, he decided that since his mother had done something wrong, he should teach her a lesson this time.

Otherwise, she would always think that just because her son is the Minister of Justice and has connections in the government, she can act recklessly and do whatever she wants.

The physician arrived quickly and, after taking the old lady's pulse, said:

"Madam's condition is caused by a sudden surge of anger, leading to a reversal of blood and qi flow."

Drinking a few doses of calming tea to clear heat and reduce internal fire will do the trick.

However, you must be careful to rest in the future and avoid getting angry so easily. Otherwise…”

The physician looked at Cui Han and Cui Yifeng, hesitant, unsure whether he should say what he was about to say.

"Please feel free to speak," Cui Han said calmly.

"Sir, when I took the old lady's pulse just now, I found that she seems to have a blockage in her brain."

If this anger continues, the sudden surge of anger might lead to paralysis or stroke...

The physician spoke in a trembling voice.

Cui Yifeng's eyes lit up with surprise, and he thought to himself: This is good. After my uncle passes away, he will definitely come to pay his respects to my grandmother every day.

After a moment of hesitation, Cui Han said, "I understand. Go and get the medicine."

After the physician left, Cui Han looked at the old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing heavy, as if he was still angry in his dream.

He sighed deeply.

What should we do now? If we make his mother write a guarantee, she'll probably go crazy with anger again.

But he agreed to Xu Qing's request.

Cui Han came out of the inner room and saw Xu Qing sitting leisurely at a small table drinking tea.

He hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Xu Qing and said, "Can we discuss this some more?"
