The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

Chapter 51 Joint Trial in the Ancestral Hall

Half a day was enough time for Wang Xiyue to settle her cousin-in-law and two children's needs.

Before returning to the inn, Wang Xiyue noticed that her cousin-in-law's spirits had improved considerably, so she decided to ask her what she wanted.

After dismissing everyone, she went straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, what kind of outcome do you want for this matter?"

At first, Zhang didn't realize what was being discussed, but then she realized that this was the only troublesome thing she had right now.

The thought of the past four years, like being in a cage, made her body tremble uncontrollably, and a surge of hatred welled up inside her.

To be honest, she doesn't know what she should do to vent her anger. Of course, she hopes that Wang Baofu and her mother-in-law will receive the most severe punishment. Many times, she has wished she could kill them and die together with them.

Now, all she hopes is to recover from her illness as soon as possible, then take her daughter away from that heartless family, and never have anything to do with them again in this lifetime.

But where could she, a penniless peasant woman with two young daughters, go?

Finally, she could only shake her head helplessly: "I don't know."

Seeing her bewildered expression, Wang Xiyue could only offer her the initial thought and let her decide: "Do you want to live in a separate household?"

"Do you want a divorce or to end your marriage?"

Ms. Zhang was quite surprised and asked, "Would they agree?"

She was willing to bear the infamy even if she was divorced, as long as she could leave. But she didn't even dare to think about divorcing her husband, because no man would agree to such a disgrace.

Besides, she was a helpless peasant woman. She felt that only a high-ranking princess would dare to do such a thing. Even if there were rumors, she had never heard of such a thing, let alone done it.

Even if Wang Baofu was just a farmer, his father-in-law's second brother, who was Miss Xiyue's father, was the prime minister. For the sake of their brother and their reputation, how could they allow such a disgraceful thing to happen to their family?

Wang Xiyue replied confidently, "Yes, if you want to, I can help you do it."

Ms. Zhang nodded hastily: "As long as it allows my daughter and me to sever all ties with them from now on and never have anything to do with them again, Miss Xiyue, you can do whatever you want. I'm not afraid of being divorced."

Wang Xiyue readily agreed: "Okay."

She hadn't expected her cousin-in-law to be so determined. At first glance, she seemed like a timid and patient person, but she never imagined that her determination to leave would be so firm.

Perhaps she had accumulated too much disappointment and pain, and had become so desperate that she was fearless!

If a person wants to live a comfortable life, the first thing is not to let themselves be bound by external opinions and rules. Wang Xiyue is such a person who does not rely on fame to make a living, so she does things without any scruples.

Wang Xiyue originally had more questions to ask, but after thinking about it, she felt it would be presumptuous to say them now.

It's realistic to wait until she's done the first step before discussing the next steps with her cousin-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I'll head back to the inn now. I'll deal with this tomorrow, so don't worry!"

"You just need to focus on recovering from your injury. Don't worry about anything else. I'll come to see you after I've dealt with them."

"I have already given the necessary funds to the clinic in advance, enough to last you until you are fully recovered and can leave."

"I've left the guard Xuan Yi behind to protect you and your children. You can contact him for anything."

Zhang knew that this arrangement was more than thoughtful, so she could only hold back her tears and thank her repeatedly.

After Wang Xiyue finished explaining things to Xuan Yi, she left the clinic and returned to the inn.

Wang Xiyue was actually very tired that day, but she was more emotionally exhausted.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to save her cousin-in-law, leaving her two children motherless and orphaned.

She also hated Wang Baofu and his mother's vicious behavior, and was even more worried that they, along with the elders of the family, would put pressure on her brother and make things difficult for him.

the next day.

As soon as it was light, Wang Xiyue greeted her cousin-in-law and then, along with her cousin, Mo Yun, Xiao Yun, Xuan Tian, ​​An Yi, and 'An Ying', a total of seven people, hurried back without stopping.

Without any patients on the return trip, the group moved much faster, arriving in just half an hour.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Wang Xiyue saw her brother and the other guards sitting under the grape trellis.

Wang Xijie has been on tenterhooks since yesterday. His sister and her family actually stayed in town for a whole day, which shows how serious his sister-in-law's condition must be. His mood is extremely anxious.

Now that he saw his sister finally back, he felt half relieved. "Yueyue, how are you?"

Wang Xiyue reassured her brother, then anxiously asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Wang Xijie knew his sister wasn't good at lying, and judging from her expression, he was confident that his cousin's illness could be cured.

He knew what his sister was worried about, and with a proud snort, he raised his chin and said, "Tch, don't you know who your brother is? If those small fry weren't from the same family, I would have beaten them to a pulp long ago."

Seeing that her brother was unharmed and in good spirits, Wang Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, this matter could be a big deal or a small deal, but I want to make a big fuss about it. Can you help me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xijie immediately raised his hand and assured him, "Of course you can. Yueyue, I'll support whatever you want to do. Just tell me what you want me to do."

On her way back, Wang Xiyue had already considered everything that was to come. As long as her brother and father stood behind her, there was nothing she couldn't do. So she whispered her request.

Wang Xijie stroked his chin. He hadn't expected his sister's approach to be so gratifying. So, he happily took Wang Yu and Wang Yi out to make preparations.

He had a premonition that from today onwards, his sister would overturn many people's perceptions, and it would be best to make an example of her to deter others.

After breakfast, many villagers saw that members of the Wang family, a large clan with some status, had appeared.

It was clear that the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion took this matter very seriously, keeping him busy inside and outside the mansion. They were all discussing in private whether something big was about to happen in the Wang family.

After a little inquiry, everyone received the same answer: at Shenshi (3-5 PM), the Wang Family Ancestral Hall will publicly punish Wang Baofu and his mother Chen Cuihua, and all villagers are welcome to come and watch and participate.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon the whole village knew about it. Some even kindly passed on the message to relatives and friends in other villages: "The Prime Minister's children are going to put righteousness before family."

Then, in just two or three hours, several hundred people had gathered in the village.

After having dinner, the people from the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince Xian's residence also arrived at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.

Looking at the throng of people in front of her, Wang Xiyue was slightly taken aback; there were far more people than she had imagined.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast; however, the more people involved, the better.

Who told those two bastards to offend her? They dared to look down on women and do such a heinous thing.

No one has ever gotten away with messing with her.

Wang Xiyue is a person who hates evil as if it were her enemy.

Within a short while, the elders of the Wang family and some local minor officials also arrived one after another.

Once everyone was seated, Wang Xijie had Wang Yu and Wang Yi bring the two "prisoners" up.

Once everyone had arrived, Wang Xiyue walked to the center of the ancestral hall and bowed to each of the people in the main seat. Then, straightening her back, she announced loudly to everyone:

"Today, I, Wang Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, will, in the presence of all the villagers, seek justice for my cousin-in-law Zhang and severely punish Wang Baofu and Chen Cuihua."

"Justice resides in the hearts of the people, and we hope you will all give your support."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. This girl was truly courageous.

Upon hearing this, Wang Baojia, the current patriarch of the Wang family, turned pale. He slammed his cane on the ground three times and, with trembling hands, pointed at Wang Xiyue and sternly criticized her:

“This is the Wang family ancestral hall, not a place for a mere immature girl like you to spout nonsense. Let your brother answer this.”

Wang Xijie rose, strolled slowly to the center of the ancestral hall, gave a casual bow, and then stood firmly behind his sister, his resounding voice rising.

“This matter will be handled entirely by my sister. Every word she says and everything she does represents the Prime Minister’s Office. My parents and I will fully support all her decisions. We can discuss any objections later.”

"If anyone is dissatisfied, my father and I will be waiting for you at the Prime Minister's residence!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped in surprise and began to whisper among themselves, never expecting that this eldest daughter's status in the Prime Minister's mansion was on par with that of the eldest son.

Upon hearing this, the clan chief was even more furious. However, he also knew that his nephew, who was the prime minister, seemed gentle but was actually very cunning.

If he were to allow his daughter to be humiliated here today, he would surely retaliate secretly. He couldn't be that kind of villain. After thinking it over, he swallowed his pride and reluctantly granted Wang Xiyue a favor.

"Alright, for your father's sake, I'll make an exception today. Tell me, what justice do you want to seek for your cousin-in-law?"

Wang Xiyue knew that the clan leader wasn't going to clash with her because he didn't dare offend her father. However, whatever the reason, she didn't care. Today, she just wanted to teach certain people a lesson.

So she calmly said, "I want to divorce my cousin's husband."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cuihua instantly flew into a rage, roaring without restraint, "You worthless good-for-nothing, what right do you have to divorce that little slut for her?"

Upon hearing that this old hag dared to speak so arrogantly to her sister, Wang Xijie hurriedly got up, intending to slap her.

Wang Xiyue quickly grabbed her brother's hand and shook her head at him.

Wang Xijie paused for a moment and withdrew his hand. He looked at his sister in confusion. She was not angry at all. There was only a cold smile on her lips and her eyes were deep and unfathomable, just like a hunter who had dug a pit and set a trap for his prey.

Seeing his sister's expression, he knew that his third aunt was doomed.

Wang Xiyue didn't explain to her brother. She just calmly looked at Chen Cuihua and continued to ask, "Why did you insult me ​​and my second sister-in-law?"

Chen Cuihua was startled by Wang Xijie's slap, but upon hearing the question, she answered faster than she thought: "Because you are women, and women are just a money-loser."

Wang Xiyue got the answer she wanted and was very satisfied. Then, without wasting a moment, she turned to Wang Baofu and asked, "What shameful things did Zhang do? Why do you abuse and torment her like that every day?"

Seeing that the young lady had shifted her focus, Wang Yu cleverly and immediately pressed Chen's acupoints, rendering her speechless and unable to move. When the young lady wanted to ask Wang Baofu a question, he took the opportunity to release the pressure point that had rendered him mute.

Wang Baofu thought that with the clan chief, the village head, and so many villagers present, he felt confident enough to do whatever he wanted. Initially, he was somewhat expectant and excited, as he could finally vent his anger.

After observing for a while, he discovered that the clan chief didn't dare utter a single word in front of the two siblings. He was furious, but he knew he had no choice but to endure it. Otherwise, the people from the Prime Minister's residence would dare to cripple him on the spot. He just had to bear with it until the people from the Prime Minister's residence left, and then he could deal with that bitch properly later.

Hearing his cousin's cold question, he toned down his tone and answered confidently, "Because she couldn't give birth to a son, so she gave birth to two money-losing babies."

Wang Xiyue scoffed, coldly looking at him as she continued, "Should someone who can't give birth to a son die?"

"You and your mother both think women are a financial burden, right?"

Wang Baofu rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, women are just a money-losing commodity. What use is she if she can't give birth to a son? She deserves to be beaten to death."

Hearing these few sentences, some men who love their wives and daughters were very angry. They thought Wang Baofu was a scumbag and didn't deserve to be a husband or a father.
