Chapter 110 Chi Guiying hit her, she hit Old Mrs. Chi
Grandma Chi ignored everyone else and spoke directly.
Divorce or a peaceful separation was not as important to their family as the dowry they had given away. Therefore, when they heard this, even the usually sharp-tongued Mother Lü was speechless for a moment.
Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, had a rather solemn expression.
At least 30-40% of Chi Guiying's dowry had been sent to the palace to help her older sister, so how could they possibly have any left? Thinking of this, she tugged at her mother's sleeve, her eyes darting around, and said.
“Mother was just angry and spoke recklessly. Since the time she married into the family, Madam has always been respectful and gentle, with excellent virtues. My husband and I have always been a perfect couple. How could it have come to the point of wanting to divorce her? Father-in-law, please don’t be offended. If we hadn’t made a scene today and continued to associate with each other, people would have just said a few words and let it go. It’s not that serious.”
He certainly wanted to smooth things over and let the matter drop, but Chi Yunjing had long since given up on dealing with it.
His eyes showed great disgust, and then he said.
"Not so bad? Your Lü family doesn't even have a proper reputation anymore, so of course it's not that bad. But my Vice Minister's Mansion has connections in the court. If you continue to cause trouble like this, who will want to associate with us? Alright, today's matter is either a divorce with half of the dowry and sending Second Sister back, or a divorce with the wife and returning all the dowry. If you insist on dragging your feet and refuse to do so, then let's go to court. With what you've done today, I don't believe this marriage can't be settled!"
Upon hearing that she was to see the officials, Lü's mother became nervous and frightened.
Firstly, at her age, if she were frightened by the gavel in court, she might not survive. Secondly, if the news reached the palace, it would definitely affect Consort Jia, so they were unwilling to accept it!
"It's such a trivial matter at home, why go to the government for every little thing? It's not that serious."
"It can't be that bad? When you were causing trouble, did you ever think about dealing with family matters in a more discreet way? How many times have you tried to pin this mess on the Chi family? And you expect us to tolerate it? Why should we? It's true that Consort Jia is pregnant, but wasn't the first one the Seventh Princess? Who knows if she'll become the Eighth Princess in the future!"
Old Mrs. Chi was also quite shrewd when it came to cursing people.
Mother Lü stared intently, a surge of anger rising within her for some unknown reason.
"You old hag, are you cursing my daughter?!"
"How is this a curse? Aren't sisters better raised when they're together?"
In a fit of rage, Mother Lü was furious. Before the rope marks on her hands had even faded, she started tearing at Old Madam Chi and attacking her!
Chi Guiying hit her, and she hit Old Mrs. Chi.
The feud between the Chi family and the Lü family has now become very deep!
Chi Yunjing and Lü Yi were both taken aback by Lü's mother's sudden attack, so they were stunned for a moment before rushing to pull her away. However, Lü's mother was surprisingly strong and, for some reason, she pushed Chi's mother to the ground and began to punch her repeatedly!
This blow was too much for Old Mrs. Chi to bear.
Before long, his nose started bleeding profusely, his teeth fell out, and even the old bones in his body started to feel loose.
"Help! Help! They're going to kill me!"
"You old hag, how dare you curse my daughter! I'll take your life!"
These words perfectly described a situation of no return, sending a chill down one's spine.
It took the two men a lot of effort to pull Lu's mother off Old Madam Chi. Before they did, they stomped on Old Madam Chi's legs twice, breaking her leg bones. She was in so much pain that she convulsed and fainted!
Upon seeing this, Chi Yunjing was greatly alarmed.
If something happens to his mother, wouldn't he have to observe three years of mourning and be forbidden from entering the court?
So he was scared half to death and immediately shouted to the people outside.
"Quickly, quickly, find a doctor! Find a doctor! Also, the steward took my token and went to report to the authorities immediately. I want everyone in Bianzhou to know that the Lü family has a madwoman who not only beats our daughter but also doesn't spare our mother. I want her reputation ruined!"
"Yes!"
The butler took the token and ran out like a madman.
While pulling her mother along, Lü Yi anxiously shouted, "No, no, don't go! Let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"
"Speak? Go tell the officials yourselves! Divorce? Bah! I'll make your entire Lü family pay with their lives!"
After saying that, Chi Yunjing hurriedly had a stretcher brought in.
He quickly sent his mother back to Huafangzhai to rest and ordered the courtyard to be sealed off, forbidding the Lü family mother and son from leaving even a step! As for Chi Guiying next door, who had not yet been tried, he had no intention of touching her now; everything would have to wait until his mother was alright before making any further plans.
What should have been a perfect marriage turned into a mess where no one could have a good outcome.
The Vice Minister's residence was joyfully sending off the young lady this morning, but in the afternoon, officials rushed into the courtyard to arrest her. Those who didn't know the reason might have thought that the Chi family had committed a crime.
But when Lü's mother was being taken away from the Vice Minister's residence bound and tied up, some busybodies shouted.
"It's the Lü family! It's the Lü family! That old woman from the Lü family is so fierce!"
"My God, if he's beaten like this and still gets arrested, then what about the people in the Vice Minister's mansion? Are they all stuck in bed?"
In just a few words, the story of Lü Mu was spread, and soon, under the deliberate manipulation of the Vice Minister's office, an exquisite version was created.
This refers to the young man from the Lü family, who was lecherous by nature. After learning that his elders had made a marriage pact with the Chi family, he deliberately came to their door. However, the eldest daughter was already engaged to the Qiao family, so he said that the second daughter was also acceptable. With just a few words and a performance by the mother and son, they forced the Chi family to fulfill their agreement and marry him off.
As a result, less than half a year after the marriage, several concubines were added to the household, and they all bullied the mistress. Even the mother-in-law of the Lü family did not stand up for her daughter-in-law and trampled on her at will.
Today's banquet was also caused by Lu's mother's blatant insults against the Chi family, which provoked the second young lady to fight with her. When the old lady Chi tried to stop her, she was attacked instead, and her fate is now unknown.
They couldn't tolerate such in-laws, so they took the matter to the authorities!
Even if it means breaking off the marriage, we must seek justice for our family!
In conclusion, the Chi family is innocent, and all the villains come from the Lü family.
By the time Chi Guiwan learned of these things, she had already become a member of the Qiao family and was deeply in love with General Qiao.
When serving tea, Old Madam Qiao and her son, General Qiao, sat in the center, while General Qiao and his wife sat on the right. Qiao's second uncle and his wife sat on the left, and Qiao Ruofu and her brother, Qiao Ruolian, stood behind them.
Beside the First Madam stood four little ones.
These are all the members of the Qiao family.
Qiao Er looked radiant with pride, while Chi Guiwan's eyes were filled with tenderness. Seeing them like this, everyone in the Qiao family present felt happy.
"Grandson, granddaughter-in-law, serve tea to your grandmother."
"Okay, they are all good kids."
After saying that, Grandma Qiao handed over two fine jade bracelets, then took the teacup, drank a large gulp, and smiled as she blessed the two of them.
