The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked
Chapter 51: Zhao's Pressure
After the Duke's wife entered the mansion, Old Madam Shen brought a group of maids and servants to welcome her to the inner hall.
Seeing Pingyang Hou's gloomy face, she said coldly: "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Yue'e?"
"A prostitute's words can turn your Shen Mansion upside down. This is the first time I have seen it!"
Marquis Pingyang suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
He slowly stood up and handed the divorce letter to the Duke's wife.
"Madam, since you are here, I think you have heard about what happened yesterday."
"This is the divorce agreement I wrote. I have signed it. You can take it to the side courtyard and ask Lin to sign it as well."
"I originally intended to give her a divorce letter, but now I'm taking the initiative to propose a divorce, which can be considered as saving her face."
He snorted coldly: "If she stays in this house for one day, I don't know what will happen to my children in the future."
"I will definitely explain this to His Majesty."
"As for Shu'er, she has reached the age of marriage now, and can be considered a grown-up girl. Before she gets married, she was raised in our Pingyang Marquis Mansion."
The Duke's wife took the divorce letter and looked at the Marquis of Pingyang calmly.
She said in a cold voice: "You don't have to go to His Majesty's place. I just came back from the palace this morning. You don't have to divorce."
She tightened the envelope in her hand slightly and tore the letter into pieces in front of Marquis Pingyang.
Pingyang Hou asked angrily: "What are you doing?"
The Duke's wife placed the torn letter paper on the table.
"There are many doubts about this matter. I don't believe Yue'e is such a vicious person, and your Majesty and the Queen naturally don't believe it either."
"How can you propose a divorce when the matter is not yet clear? If it doesn't work out, just give her another chance."
"If she does something wrong, I will teach her a lesson. You can't convict her based on the words of a prostitute."
Pingyang Hou was so angry that his face turned red.
He said angrily: "Her personal maid Chuntao has confessed, is it possible that it is false?"
"Chun Tao was brought out from your Guardian Duke's Mansion. Could it be possible that she would betray you?"
"The Shangshu Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue's assistant minister's family personally sent evidence. Are these all fake?"
"You want me to give her another chance? Humph! That's ridiculous!"
"If we give her another chance, I'm afraid our Shen family will not have peace."
"If yesterday's incident had not been exposed, I, the Marquis of Pingyang, would have become a laughing stock in the entire Yanjing City. I simply cannot tolerate this vicious woman!"
Everyone in the hall could clearly feel the anger of Marquis Pingyang, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Shen Mi sat on the chair, holding the tea and not daring to breathe.
She knew that it would be difficult for her father to divorce Lin today.
After all, this engagement was granted by His Majesty, and if we want to divorce, we have to take His Majesty into consideration.
The Queen and the Crown Prince also want to get involved in this matter.
She put down the teacup in her hand, her mind full of thoughts.
If one wants to completely destroy the Lin family, one must probably start with the death of his mother and grandfather.
Seeing the rage of the Marquis of Pingyang, the Duke's wife's face darkened. She said coldly, "Even if Chuntao confesses, it doesn't prove anything."
"Why don't you think about it carefully, how could Yue'e be so stupid as to write a letter to Tongxiang in person?"
"What a coincidence that day, the Shangshu Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue's assistant minister's family sent evidence? Don't you have any doubts about this?"
"The Queen and His Majesty heard about this last night and also thought that there were many suspicious points in this matter."
"I came here today with a message from His Majesty and the Queen. You can beat me or punish me, but I'd rather be cautious about divorce."
"After all, this is a marriage granted by His Majesty, and you have been in love for more than ten years. At least consider Shu'er!"
The Marquis of Pingyang was still angry. He put the teacup in his hand on the table and lowered his eyes.
The Duke's Mansion was afraid that he would divorce Lin, so they went to the palace overnight to ask the Queen and His Majesty for help, probably wanting to use the Queen and His Majesty to put pressure on him.
But now that he knew Lin's true face, he would not be able to get along with her if he kept her in the mansion.
He turned to look at the Duke's wife.
"Humph, the Duke of the Protectorate is indeed capable. In order to prevent me from divorcing that vicious woman, he actually went to see His Majesty at night!"
"Since your majesty and the queen have spoken, I can only accept my fate. However, I can't tolerate everything."
"From now on, Lin is not allowed to leave the other courtyard without my order."
"As for the relationship between her and me, it was severed yesterday. Whether she lives or dies in the other courtyard has nothing to do with me."
"If she has evil intentions and wants to do something dirty, I, the Marquis of Pingyang, am not a tolerant person."
"When the time comes, how to deal with her will be our Shen family's business and has nothing to do with your Lin Mansion!"
After hearing these words, the Duke's wife finally calmed down.
Seeing that Marquis Pingyang was still angry, she decided not to say anything more. Saying too much would only backfire.
As long as they don't divorce, Lin will have absolute power in the future.
She stood up from the chair, looked at Old Madam Shen, and glanced at Shen Mi for a moment.
Shen Mi, who was sitting at a seat drinking tea, felt a little uncomfortable with the malicious gaze just now, so he just held the teacup and continued drinking tea.
The Duke's wife said, "If Yue'e makes another mistake, you, the Marquis of Pingyang, will handle it yourself. There is no need to inform our Duke's Mansion."
"It's hard to say whether this is true or not."
"I heard that the Shen family beat her so badly yesterday that she couldn't get out of bed. I think she's seriously ill. I'll go over to see her."
After saying this, the Duke's wife turned around and walked towards the villa where Lin was imprisoned with an angry look on her face.
After Lin made the mistake, he was beaten to a bloody pulp, thrown in the woodshed for a night, and then taken to the side yard.
She was the powerful mistress of the Marquis's mansion and was in charge of all the affairs in the inner house.
He thought that he could use the power he held to control the Jiang children and make them disappear without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that the truth would be revealed so quickly.
The side courtyard was not as luxurious as her Chunhua Courtyard, and the food, clothing and other expenses were not as good as before. Instead, it seemed a bit desolate.
The door of the room was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Lin raised her eyes with difficulty, enduring the tearing pain.
Then the wife of the Duke, dressed in elegant and gorgeous clothes, walked in.
The Duke's wife turned her head and looked at the two maids beside her, and the two maids closed the door.
However, he did not notice that there was a dark figure squatting under the window.
"Madam... wuwu." When Lin saw the Duke's wife coming, she immediately choked up.
When the Duke's wife saw Lin like this, she thought she was extremely stupid.
She walked to the bed, her face furious, and raised her hand violently, slapping him hard in the face.
She said angrily: "What a useless thing! You did something yourself, but you let a prostitute hold you responsible. How can you be so useless?"
"Is this how you came to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to be the mistress?"
"I really don't know, are you brainless or what? All the evidence is in the hands of others."
Lin's cheeks felt stinging, and she covered her face with her hands, choking as she looked at the person in front of her.
"Madam, now that the Marquis of Pingyang wants to divorce me, what should I do? What about Shu'er, madam?"
The Duke's wife sat down at the table next to her.
"I received the news yesterday and went to the palace overnight. He wants to divorce you, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy. At least he has to consider the face of the Queen and His Majesty."
When Lin heard this, she felt a little comforted.
She sobbed and said, "Madam, I'm afraid this matter of Li Niang is not that simple. I must have been plotted against."
"Although the letter on Pang Jian's body is in my handwriting, I have never written it."
The Duke's wife frowned slightly and said, "There is something wrong with this matter. Can you guess who is plotting against you behind your back?"
Lin shook her head: "I don't know, but in the whole mansion, besides Jiang's children, who else could there be?"
"Ever since Shen Mi came back, our Shen family has not had peace. My plans have failed time and time again, and the evidence is still in someone's hands."
