The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 32 I will listen to my sister-in-law on this matter

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.

But even so, no one spared her.

"Wake up the wife."

Xu Xiaoli ordered coldly.

The nanny who was supporting Mrs. Xu didn't dare to disobey her order and quickly pinched Ms. Xu's people.

Mrs. Xu woke up faintly and saw her youngest daughter Xu Huizhu being escorted in by the government office with a loud voice, followed by her eldest daughter who looked in a hurry.

She hurriedly pushed away her grandmother who was supporting her, and rushed forward to rescue her little daughter.

"Mom, please help me, I don't want to go to court..."

Xu Huizhu cried so much that she didn't behave like the prince's daughter in the past.

After knowing that the matter could not be hidden, the eldest sister immediately changed her clothes into the clothes of the person under her, and wanted to send her out of the house to hide in her grandfather's house for a while, and then pick her back up after the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, she had just taken a few steps out of the hiding place when she was caught by the police officer. Apparently someone had tipped her off secretly.

At this time, while asking her mother for help, she glared fiercely at her three sisters-in-law, who must have united to harm her.

"Let go of my Sister Zhu, she is not guilty..."

Mrs. Xu screamed, trying to rescue her daughter.

Unexpectedly, Capt. Zhang stretched out his knife hand to stop her, "Whether he is guilty or not, I will make your own decision after the trial."

Xu almost collapsed. If she walked out of the house like this, where would her daughter's reputation be?
  "Mom, the first priority is to protect the reputation of the second sister."

Xu Huiyu came close to her mother and whispered a few words.

Gu Deyin was close and vaguely heard a few words. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xu Huiyu in surprise.

She is actually a ruthless character. I used to look down on her, but unfortunately she is a love brain.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her expression became fierce, "That's it."

After making up her mind, her rationality came back, and now she saw her talking to Zhang Captou.

"My daughter comes from a well-known family, and her family's reputation is the most important. The Shuntian Prefecture wants a public trial, and I won't stop you, but I ask for your convenience..."

Seeing the change in Xu's attitude, Zhang Captou didn't want to really enmity with the Xu family. After all, he was just a small government official, so he responded very reasonably,
  "What do you want, madam?"

Seeing that their attitudes had softened, Xu continued calmly.

"I am her mother, and I will personally escort her to the court. As long as Shuntian Prefecture does not convict her, my daughter will be innocent."

Zhang Captou and the long attendant sent by Zhong Shiming looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement with Xu's move.

Liu Ruohe frowned when he saw this, it seemed something was going to change.

She immediately stood up and said, "Since we are the victims, let the second sister-in-law ride with us in a carriage to Shuntian Mansion Office."

Xu Ningyu wanted to stop Liu Ruohe, but he was a step too late and could only stand there with a face full of pain.

Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Ruohe bitterly. The last punishment for this troublemaker was still too light.

Gu Deyin saw that Liu Ruohe was the first person, so he quickly echoed, "What my sister-in-law said is true."

Bai Nianhan looked around, not daring to express his opinion.

She was not firm in her position and was ignored by several people.

When sending her little daughter to the carriage, Mrs. Xu squeezed her little daughter's palm and winked at her.

Xu Huiyu pulled Xu Huiling, who was a concubine, into another carriage, and Mrs. Xu also got on it.

In the carriage, Xu Huiling huddled in the corner like a quail.

However, Mrs. Xu held her hand affectionately and uncharacteristically, and spoke to her in a very kind manner.

"Your aunt has been ill for several days. As long as you do as I say, I promise to immediately seek medical advice for your aunt. Now your aunt's life is in your hands."

These words made the precocious Xu Huiling shudder. She glanced at her aunt with a ferocious expression and her aunt with an indifferent expression.

She was doomed, she thought.

Arrive at Shuntianfu Yamen.

When everyone got off the carriage, Gu Deyin saw Xu Huiling being dragged out of the carriage by Mrs. Xu, and she understood.

But poor people must have something to hate.

This time, she will not stand up for her again.

You have to walk the road you choose even on your knees. In the court hall, as a marquis, Xu Xiaoli was naturally invited to take a seat by Zhong Shiming, while Xu Ningyu could only stand behind his father and greet Zhong Shiming together.

With a sudden shock, the trial began.

When the people around heard that this case involved a wealthy family, they immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed outside the court to listen. The Shuntian Mansion Office was immediately packed to the rafters.

Even the aristocratic families sent their servants to inquire about the latest news, gossiping about the past and present scandals in the Xuanning Hou Mansion.

Xu Huiyu felt very uncomfortable. If this matter hadn't involved her second sister, she would have ignored it.

Xu Ningyu pulled the eldest sister to his side, and then turned sideways to block other people's sight so as not to embarrass the eldest sister.

Gu Deyin couldn't help but sneer when he saw how friendly their siblings were.

In a blink of an eye, she saw the weak Liu Ruohe tightening her handkerchief and looking at the brother and sister with displeasure, obviously jealous.

So, she whispered maliciously, "Tell me, in his heart, who is more important, you or his sister?"

Liu Ruohe glanced at Gu Deyin's posture of watching the show, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Why doesn't Gu Deyin look down on Xu Ningyu like he used to?
  At this moment, she realized that she couldn't understand Gu Deyin.

When undercurrents were surging from all sides, Xu Huiling jumped out and took all the blame.

I saw her crying and stating extremely sadly.

"Sir, all the girls of the country are fond of playing. When they saw the sparkling jewelry and beautiful clothes of their sisters-in-law, the girls thought of borrowing them to play with for a while. But then they played too much and didn't remember to send someone to send them back. That’s why my sisters-in-law misunderstood..."

"Later I heard that the government officials were coming to search, and the girl was so frightened that she had to hide first..."

"All misunderstandings started with women from the countryside and have nothing to do with my second sister."

"Sisters-in-law, all your mistakes are my fault. You adults have a lot of problems, don't care about me. I don't want to go to jail... Wuwu... Sisters-in-law... My aunt is still seriously ill, she can't leave me..."

While she confessed, she kowtowed to Gu Deyin and Liu Ruohe.

She was young, and with such a posture, the onlookers couldn't help but soften their hearts, and public opinion suddenly tilted.

They all accused the sister-in-law of being too stingy and why would she care about such a young sister-in-law.

Xu Huizhu on the side immediately went into battle as if to protect her sister.

"Sisters-in-law, don't your consciences hurt? The third sister is still young, and you are still arguing with her like this, are you still human?"

Seeing the turn of public opinion, Mrs. Xu finally felt a little better.

"This misunderstanding is just caused by children's playfulness. As adults, we should be more generous. Daughters-in-law, I know you have been wronged. Fortunately, you have recovered your things. How about letting this matter go?"

Obviously, he wants to reduce big things to small things and small things to nothing.

As for the reputation of a concubine, what does it have to do with her?

Zhong Shiming narrowed his eyes slightly, but Xu had two brushes.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Huiling was pushed out to take the blame, which is indeed a big or small matter.

Xu Xiaoli offered his hand to Zhong Shiming, begging secretly for mercy, hoping that he would show his kindness and put an end to the farce in his family.

Zhong Shiming is noncommittal.

He stopped the whispers with a slap on his face.

"Some of the victims have confessed their guilt. What do you have to say?"

Mrs. Xu quickly looked at Bai Nianhan. Among the several daughters-in-law, she was the one who had the best control.

Bai Nianhan saw this change in the situation, and it was obvious that her mother-in-law had the upper hand.

Once again she was on the back burner.

"Since the sister-in-law is just having fun, we sisters-in-law shouldn't care too much about it. I agree to withdraw the case."

Her generosity won her a lot of applause.

This satisfied her vanity.

The ball was kicked to Gu Deyin and Liu Ruohe.

Gu Deyin said first, "I will listen to my sister-in-law on this matter."

So everyone's eyes turned to Liu Ruohe in unison.

Liu Ruohe glared at Gu Deyin, this woman was too cunning, she was sure that she would not give up.
