My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 198 The Xu family’s downfall
"Let's be honest, what do you want?" Xu Jie suddenly calmed down and asked with a stern face.

"Let's make peace with Li. You give me a piece of paper to release your wife and Li. I will take the children back to the Song family and leave a queen for you."

Song Yunshu said calmly.

"Hahaha..." Xu Jie laughed mockingly, "Why are you so calm? It turns out you are confident."

After looking at his wife for a few times, Xu Jie showed a fierce look in his eyes and said in a very unkind tone: "Song Yunshu, you didn't deliberately make up such a lie to deceive me just to get away, did you?"

"My monthly letter has not come for more than two months. You can ask the maids and nuns in my house to confirm this matter. You can see that I have been retching these days. I was pregnant with my first child. Isn't that what it is? If you still don't believe it, Bufan go and ask the imperial guards outside the mansion to be accommodating and ask them to ask a doctor to come in and take my pulse."

She knew her own body well, and Song Yunshu was [-]% sure about her pregnancy.

Xu Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, but the fall of the Xu family was imminent, and he couldn't allow him to think more.

Making peace with Song Yunshu and keeping her and the child together is the best and only option at the moment.

With the Queen and Ning Bin here, he believed that the power of the Song family would be more than enough to secure a harmonious married daughter.

What's more, the laws of this dynasty always gave preferential treatment to pregnant women, so Song Yunshu had a better chance of escaping.

"Okay! I will be with you and let you go back, but you must also promise me to give birth to this child no matter what. If I am still alive, I will come back to meet the child in the future; if I die, , you also have to set up a memorial tablet, and ask him to offer me a stick of incense during the holidays."

Xu Jie's eyes were red and he said fiercely: "Song Yunshu, if you dare to lie to me, I will never let you go, even if you become a ghost."

Seeing this, Song Yunshu softened her tone, "After all, we are a couple, so don't think too ruthlessly of me. You know how many years I have been looking forward to this child, how could I not want him? You are the child's biological father. , I won’t let him deny you. Besides, we can’t hide this matter. When the child grows up, he will always know who his father is."

After thinking about it, Song Yunshu added another sentence: "If the Xu Mansion just raids your home and exiles me, I can always take care of you. Don't mention anything else, money is the most important thing on the way to exile. As long as I am fine, you will not Suffered too much.”

Seeing that his wife's calculations were so clear, Xu Jie could only grit his teeth and endure it no matter how unhappy he felt.

What Song Yunshu said was reasonable. Now is not the time to be impulsive. How to protect the Xu family to the greatest extent is the most important thing.

Xu Jie silently turned around and went to the side room to get pen and ink, wrote the letter of separation in front of Song Yunshu, and stamped it with his personal seal.

Then, both husband and wife jointly sign and deposit the divorce letter in duplicate. In this way, the divorce is considered successful.If you can go to the government to prepare a case, you will be more foolproof.

Song Yunshu obviously came prepared. After getting the He Li book, she took out a small seal from her arms and stamped it.Xu Jie stretched out his head and saw that the stamp was a flowery character "Song", which looked like a woman's private seal.

"Did the Empress or Concubine Ning give it to you? I guess it was her idea to make peace with you, right?"

Xu Jie asked sarcastically.

"This is Concubine Ning's private seal."

Song Yunshu's words acquiesced to her husband's suspicion.

"Hmph..." Xu Jie curled his lips and snorted coldly, "This woman is very scheming. She is just trying so hard to save you now because she has bad intentions. You should be more careful and don't be deceived by her face. .”

"Thank you for the advice, husband, I'll save it! It's just that now I still need Concubine Ning to help me get out of trouble."

Song Yunshu raised the Book of Peace and Li in her hand, "With Empress Ning Bin as a witness, this Book of Peace and Li will be effective. Even if you go to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment, no one will dare to embarrass me with it. "That's great! If you can escape unscathed, don't forget what you promised today."

Xu Jie warned with his eyes like daggers.

Song Yunshu stood up and gave a solemn salute, "I must obey myself and do not dare to disobey."

In my heart it was unconvincing.

After tomorrow, I wonder if your Xu family will still be alive.Even if Your Majesty is kind enough to spare you your life, you will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being sent to the frontier. When the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, who will care about who?

Song Yunshu has always had deep resentment towards the Xu family, and it is absolutely impossible for her to repay resentment with kindness and treat the Xu family well.

At most, she could show her kindness and send a traveling fee to the Xu family to settle down in the place of exile.

According to the news from the palace, the Xu family will most likely be confiscated and exiled.

After all, they were from a century-old noble family, and their crimes were either disobedience or rebellion, or they wanted to be beheaded. Killing Kang Lebo, the chief culprit, would be enough to put an end to the problem.

As for the female relatives of the Xu family, they were either exiled together or put into the Jiaofangsi, so she couldn't wait to get the letter of peace from Xu Jie.

Regardless of being exiled or joining the Jiaofangsi, neither option is a way out for a woman.

Song Yunshu touched her belly. Thanks to the child's arrival in time, otherwise with Xu Jie's vicious temperament, he would not have let her go. He would have dragged her to hell with him.

Three days later, the imperial edict arrived at Kanglebo Mansion.

Sure enough, as Song Yunshu expected, the Xu family was expelled and ransacked, and the whole family was exiled for three thousand miles. Fortunately, Kang Lebo Xu Ce also escaped with his life.

The Imperial Guards poured into the Xu family like a tide, and amidst the cries of the women and children, they were taken into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the end, thousands of taels of gold, more than 50 taels of silver, and countless precious and exquisite calligraphy and painting objects of various colors were confiscated from the Xu family. The emperor was so angry that he scolded Kang Lebo for "the rat is ruining the country."

Logically speaking, the Xu family secretly sold salt for more than ten years and should have confiscated so much property. As for the missing millions of taels of silver, the emperor did not pursue it any further.

After all, it fell into the pocket of some prince. The emperor could not punish his son, so he had to turn a blind eye.

But with the piece of paper and the letter of departure, and the intercession of the queen and Ning Bin, Song Yunshu finally got what she wanted and became the only person in the Xu family to escape unscathed.

The Holy Spirit took pity on her as a divorced woman and became pregnant, so he decided to return her dowry.

This was truly an unexpected surprise, and Song Yunshu burst into tears of gratitude.

On the day that the Xu family was exiled, Song Yunshu went to see her as she was told, and gave them some food, clothing, and 1000 taels of silver notes, and then she heartily severed her relationship with the Xu family.

When she thought that she would never have to suffer in that cage from now on, Song Yunshu raised her lips lightly and her steps were brisker than ever before.

She has a dowry to accompany her, and she will have children by her side in the future. No matter how difficult it is, the ghost life in the Xu family will never be difficult.
