He turned to Madam Ji and said, "Mother, I did have an affair this time, and Qin Lian was just impulsive. I firmly believe that she is pure and innocent. Mother, please take back the divorce letter. I am begging you."

After saying this, Ji Yinli knelt down, his robe fluttering, and bowed to Madam Ji.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlian hurriedly jumped off the bed and knelt down at Madam Ji's knees.

"Mother-in-law, please forgive your daughter-in-law this time."

Mrs. Song was heartbroken to see her daughter being so servile. Her daughter, whom she cherished like a treasure, now had to kneel down and beg in order not to be divorced and sent home.

However, in this situation, she couldn't be too picky, otherwise it would only make the situation worse.

Fortunately, the son-in-law was quite considerate and willing to support his daughter, so her efforts were not in vain.

So, she also joined the ranks of pleading: "Mother-in-law, Yinli and Qinlian are deeply in love. Can you really bear to separate them? Both of them are at fault in this incident. Why don't we give each of them twenty lashes and let it go. In the future, if they can work together and live a happy life, wouldn't that be better than anything else?"

Madam Ji seemed to be moved, and her tone was a little relaxed: "If you want me to not pursue it, it is not impossible, as long as..."

Song hurriedly said, "Whatever the conditions are? Just ask, mother-in-law. Qin Lian's children are always filial and will obey."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlian nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

Seeing this, Madam Ji slowly expressed her thoughts: "Unless she can be magnanimous and support Yinli's studies in the future, she must not embarrass him in front of outsiders like she did yesterday!"

She paused for a moment, her expression softened slightly, and continued to preach: "Gu Qinlian, I am not a harsh mother-in-law. Reflect on yourself. Since you came here, what have you done that you can show off and not let others point fingers at you?"

"Yinli is the hope of the Ji family and your future support. You should support him with all your strength instead of tying him down to your side. He is also paving the way for his future by going out to socialize. Even if he just had a few drinks last night, even if he had something going on with those singing girls and dancing girls, so what? What man wouldn't be like that?"

"He doesn't have three wives and four concubines, which is a great respect for you. Your husband respects you, and you should respect him as well. This is the true meaning of mutual respect. Husband and wife share honor and disgrace. Do you understand this principle?"

Although Gu Qinlian was unwilling in her heart, she did not dare to say much at this moment. She could only nod humbly: "Mother-in-law is right. I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Mrs. Ji felt very relieved to see her attitude change.

She really wanted to continue teaching Gu Qinlian and vent all the pent-up anger in her heart at once.

But she also understands that too much is as bad as too little, so she should know when to stop.

In last night's incident, although Gu Qinlian's behavior was inappropriate, Ji Yinli was more at fault.

He secretly used his wife's private money to seek pleasure, which even caused his wife to have a miscarriage. If these things were to become known, Ji Yinli's future would be ruined.

So she stopped there and didn't pursue the matter any further.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time, and today's deterrence is enough to prevent Gu Qinlian from escaping her control, and she will definitely be obedient in the future.

Madam Ji sighed and said, "Since Yinli has pleaded for you and you have expressed regret, I will temporarily withdraw this divorce letter. But if it happens again, no matter how eloquent you are, I will firmly advocate divorcing you!"

Gu Qinlian quickly expressed her loyalty: "I will remember your teachings and stop making trouble. Thank you, mother-in-law, for giving me the opportunity to reform."

Madam Ji leaned over with concern on her face and gently helped her up. Her tone was gentle and full of concern: "You are still weak, so you must take good care of yourself. After all, you are already married, and it is not in accordance with etiquette to rest in your parents' home. Why don't you come back home with us?"

Gu Qinlian pondered in her heart. When she thought of the chaos in the Ji family, she felt quite resistant.

There are many things to pay attention to during the confinement period. If it is not properly managed, it may leave hidden dangers. The Ji family is not as comfortable as the Gu family.

However, Song said firmly: "My mother-in-law is right. Qin Lian, you can go back with your mother-in-law and Yin Li. I will visit you later. You must be obedient."

After all, Mrs. Ji had just withdrawn the divorce letter and couldn't let the situation get any worse.

Besides, her daughter's confinement at her parents' home would indeed affect her family's luck. Later, she would have to ask the Ji family to buy some red cloth and firecrackers to dispel the bad luck.

Both parties have made their positions clear, so even though Gu Qinlian is unwilling, she has no choice but to return to the Ji family.

After arriving at the Ji family, Ji Yinli properly arranged accommodation for Gu Qinlian and then went to Mrs. Ji's residence.

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Yinli bowed to Madam Ji with great respect: "Mother is truly extremely resourceful. Not only did you allow me to escape from the Gu family unscathed, but you also kept Gu Qinlian firmly under your control. I really admire you very much."

Madam Ji smiled and said, "I never thought that this strategy would be so effective, thanks to Fuling's brilliant plan. If she hadn't given me advice, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a brilliant plan."

As she spoke, she pulled Fuling, who had been serving beside her, to her front, patted her hand, and smiled: "Why didn't I realize before that you are so smart? If you hadn't reminded us to take the initiative, we would probably be led by the Gu family. The Gu family's attitude really makes me worry about what kind of pressure they will put on my son."

Fuling smiled shyly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. I just didn't want to see you and the young master being troubled by the Gu family, so I came up with this idea. I hope you don't mind the trouble."

Madam Ji said cheerfully, "No trouble, no trouble. If there are such good ideas in the future, you must think more about them. The third brother is your good man. If he succeeds, you will also be prosperous in the future."

Fuling was extremely happy in her heart, but on the surface she still maintained a gentle and obedient demeanor.

After she came out of Mrs. Ji's room, Fuling smiled smugly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

She planned to repay the nanny who had given her advice. For her, this was an unforgettable victory.

Originally, this clever idea was not hers alone, but came from the experienced Madam Liao in the kitchen.

At dawn today, she had planned to go to Ji Yinli's place and try to persuade him to take Gu Qinlian back as a springboard for her revenge. However, just as she was about to leave the house, Madam Liao stopped her and cleverly offered this plan. After listening to it, she thought it was a great plan, and then turned around and went to Madam Ji to offer her own strategy.

Fuling carefully took out a piece of silver from her savings and put it into Madam Liao's hand: "Madam, thank you for your wise advice. You are helping me this time."

Madam Liao took the silver with a big smile on her face and said, "You are really brave and wise. I am just giving you a little warning."
