The anger on the old lady's face has not disappeared. The more Shen Zhiheng and Shen Zhao begged for mercy, the angrier the old lady became.

Especially Shen Zhiheng, what had he been thinking about? It was at this time that I felt more motivated to plead for mercy. If he had paid more attention to matters at home, he wouldn't have reached this point.

But the son, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law who had just passed away came together to plead for mercy, and the old lady felt relieved.

A happy event had just been held at home, so the divorce would not have much impact at this time.

Seeing that the old lady was hesitant, Su Qingyu thought about it and suddenly spoke.

"Mom, my sister-in-law is also impulsive. How about giving her another chance?"

"If there is news that the Shen family is divorcing his wife at this time, it will be bad for the family's reputation. The most urgent thing is to explain it to the Rong family. That's the most important thing."

If there is anyone in this room who least wants Chen to be divorced, it might be Su Qingyu. When Mrs. Chen was divorced, she had to return to the old home of the Chen family. Then what happens next for her will be really difficult.

So in order to push Chen further into the abyss, she had to give her a hand first.

In fact, whether she begged for mercy or not did not affect the old lady's decision. But when she spoke, the old lady looked at her differently.

"Qingyu, do you really think so?" The old lady looked at Su Qingyu and asked softly.

Su Qingyu leaned forward and replied, "Mom, my daughter-in-law speaks from her heart. My sister-in-law has been running the family for so many years, and it is not easy to educate her children. What happened today was probably a moment of confusion."

"Recognizing your mistakes can greatly improve things. My mother has always been kind-hearted, so why don't I just spare my sister-in-law this time."

The old lady looked at Su Qingyu with admiration.

After suffering such great grievances, he could still plead for mercy and care about the family's reputation. This kind of character can support the Shen family's inner house.

Su Qingyu opened her mouth to plead for mercy, which shocked the people in the Shen family's main room.

Shen Zhiheng looked grateful, while Shen Zhao looked incomprehensible. Chen and Li Chaoyun didn't believe that Su Qingyu was so kind, so they were both wary.

Shen Zhixiu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Su Qingyu would plead for Chen at this time. But for Shen Zhixiu, as long as his wife is happy, he doesn't care about anything else.

So when the old lady asked Shen Zhixiu, Shen Zhixiu just said, "It all depends on mother."

The old lady pondered for a long time, and after Shen Zhiheng and others begged for another long time, she spoke.

"It's okay not to divorce your wife, but you have to suffer the punishment you deserve. Get thirty slaps and be banned from home for a year."

"If this happens again, I will never forgive you."

Thirty boards, at Chen's current age, I'm afraid she will have to stay in bed for two or three months.

Shen Zhao suddenly said, "Grandma, I am willing to endure this for my mother, please allow me."

Chen quickly tried to stop Shen Zhao, "No, how can I let you take the punishment for me? I am willing to be punished, as long as I don't divorce my wife, any punishment will be fine."

She was really frightened today. The word divorce was like a thunder to her. If she was really divorced, the rest of her life would be over.

Her natal family is not as good as before, and they have relied on her and the Shen family's care for these years. If he knew that she was divorced, how could he tolerate her?

The old lady looked at Shen Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Think about it, if you are punished for your mother, it will be fifty bucks."

Shen Zhao nodded solemnly, "I am willing, please ask grandma to make it happen."

"In that case, then do as you say. Let your mother watch from the side. Her son has suffered for her. Whether she can repent or not depends on herself."

The old lady's words shocked everyone. This was worse than hitting Chen.

My daughter lost her child because of her, and my son suffered fifty strokes because of her. Mrs. Chen knelt on the ground with dull eyes, wondering how things had reached this point.

The old lady was a little tired. These things had made her physically and mentally exhausted. As I get older, my energy level is not as good as before.

"Qingyu will handle the rest of the matter. Whatever these servants do is up to you."

With that said, the old lady was about to get up and leave.

Mrs. Chen shook her head for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Mom, can I go to Wu'er's yard for confinement first? I am worried that she will have a confinement at home. Please allow me to take care of her and wait for her. After I return to Rong’s house, I will go back to my yard.”

The old lady didn't look at her, but said, "Ask your brother and sister about this, she is the one who makes the decision in the family now."

After saying that, the old lady was supported by two nuns and walked out of the hall.

There was deathly silence in the hall again. After a while, everyone in the big room helped each other to get up and sit down.

The maids came in for hot tea and then filed out again.

When Mrs. Chen saw that Su Qingyu was still reluctant to speak, she was worried, ashamed and angry. A few months ago, she was just an ordinary housewife, but today she can actually ride on her head. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her get married in the first place.

I thought so in my heart, but didn't dare to show any clues on my face. Now she can only be cautious in her words and actions, and dare not make a wrong step.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Su Qingyu finally spoke.

"Since the eldest sister-in-law wants to take care of the eldest lady, I will naturally not be embarrassed."

"As for the punishment of the young master, I think it will be tomorrow. The young lady will take medicine to induce labor today, and the sister-in-law will have to take care of it."

She had to let Chen see these two people suffer, so she decided to stay apart for two days.

Shen Zhao almost gritted his teeth and replied: "I'll listen to the third aunt."

Su Qingyu smiled. She could clearly hear the gritted teeth in Shen Zhao's words, but she found the tone particularly pleasant.

After Chen and Shen Zhao finished talking, Su Qingyu looked at Hongye coldly again.

"Pull down the red leaves and kill with the stick."

After saying that, Su Qingyu winked at Jade again. Jade understood and followed the two women down with Hongye.

Hongye struggled and begged for mercy, begging Chen to save her.

Chen simply leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. It was not that she did not want to save him, but she could not save herself.

After Hongye was taken away, Su Qingyu looked at Wu Laoqi who was kneeling aside.

"Although Wu Laoqi made a mistake, he regretted it in time. With ten strokes of the cane, you are not allowed to talk to anyone about what happened in Qingyuan Residence today."

Seeing Hongye being caned to death, Wu Laoqi was already trembling with fear. He thought that even if he was not caned to death, he would be sold out. Unexpectedly, the Third Madam only punished him with ten strokes of the cane, which made Wu Laoqi ecstatic.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently to Su Qingyu, "Thank you, Third Madam. I don't dare to do it anymore. Thank you, Third Madam, for showing mercy."

Su Qingyu spared Wu Laoqi because of Qinglian.

Wu Laoqi changed the spices, and Qinglian discovered it immediately. She calmly figured out what the spice was, and after Xiangdong's maid received the spice, she immediately came to tell her.

Qinglian is indispensable for the success of this matter today. So it would be a good deal to spare Wu Laoqi and let Qinglian follow her wholeheartedly from now on.

After leaving Qingyuan Residence, Shen Zhao and Li Chaoyun supported Chen and sent her to Shen Wu.

After taking a few steps, Li Chaoyun suddenly turned his head and took a deep look at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu gave her a provocative look, their eyes met, and their fighting spirit rose.
