Human life was at stake, so the neighbors instinctively rushed over to grab her.

"You can't use the eldest sister of the Sun family!"

"Wow, wow, wow, my daughter-in-law's family is too domineering. They have wronged me and left me with no way to live!" Cao cried out to the sky.

The neighbors looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

No matter how wrong the Cao family was, they dared not say anything and forced people to death.

A cold light flashed across Yuan Yushi's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal. He walked forward and accused him righteously:

"It is really unfortunate for Sun Herong to have a mother like you! I have seen countless people, but I have never seen parents who deliberately seek death before their son's imperial examination and delay their son's future!"

The neighbors were already dissatisfied with being fooled by Cao, and were frightened by her sudden desire to commit suicide.

Hearing what Censor Yuan said, he suddenly came to his senses.

With Censor Yuan's words in mind, they didn't believe that Cao would still seek death.

Besides, isn't it just a trick of crying, making a fuss and then hanging oneself? Anyone can do that. They don't believe that someone as cunning and vicious as Cao would really be willing to die.

The people holding her loosened her grip and let Cao fall to the ground, sneering:

"Go ahead if you want to commit suicide. It's not my son's future that's being affected!"

"I'm not very smart, but I don't want to watch someone act and be fooled around!"

Close relatives also looked at Cao with great dissatisfaction.

"Master Yuan is right. This Cao is really selfish and willful. She only cares about her own pleasure and doesn't consider Rong'er's future at all!"

"If she really died, and Rong Ge'er had to observe mourning for three years and missed the imperial examination, he would be the sinner of the entire Sun family, and he would never be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb even after his death!"

"What a stupid, vicious woman! This has really put Rong'er in great trouble!"

This situation was completely unexpected for Cao.

She had worked so hard to raise her son to become a young juren, and he would have many blessings in the future, so how could she bear to let him die? She was just trying to scare people.

Now he was in a dilemma and could not think of any solution. He could not bear the accusations and criticisms from everyone, so he could only flee into his own yard and quickly close the door.

Seeing this, Old Madam Yuan was very satisfied.

It can be predicted that after this incident, Cao's reputation in the neighborhood was completely ruined.

Even if the Yuan family forced a divorce, it was the Cao family that was at fault first.

With the testimony of the neighbors, when Sun Herong came back and knew what good things his mother had done, the resentment of losing the wife of a rich family was enough to make this vicious woman suffer.

Sun Herong's uncle rushed over upon hearing the news and immediately came forward to apologize to Censor Yuan:

"Master Yuan, it is because of our poor discipline that your granddaughter has suffered..."

Censor Yuan knew what he was going to say next, but did not give him the opportunity to speak it in public.

"It's Uncle Sun, let's go inside and talk in detail."

He asked Madam Yuan and Mo Niang to wait in the car, while he went into the house with Uncle Sun to isolate himself from other people's prying eyes.

As soon as he entered the house, Uncle Sun said quickly:

"Master Yuan, please give the Sun family another chance. We will discipline that vicious woman Cao and never let her mistreat my nephew's wife again!"

Censor Yuan's face turned cold:

"I thought that the Sun family were all reasonable people. It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's character. If Cao really wants to tear his face and torture his daughter-in-law because of filial piety, who can stop you?"

"I'll give you one chance. With my granddaughter's temper, I'm afraid she'll force me to death next time. If that really comes to that, will your uncle Sun give her his life as compensation?"

Such a sharp question immediately made Uncle Sun break out in a cold sweat.

He did provide a lot of help to Sun Herong and his mother, and he was considered the closest and most authoritative elder in the clan.

But after all, he is not Cao's real father-in-law, so how can he control Cao's behavior at all times?

If Sun Herong passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, their family would go to Beijing and it would be even more out of reach.

It can be seen from the nephew's wife that she is a sensitive and thoughtful person. If she is really framed by the Cao family and commits suicide out of despair, the Yuan family will not let it go.

At that time, would he really have to pay for her life?

"This this……"

"Uncle Sun actually has no idea in his heart, so why would he let my granddaughter risk her life?"

Uncle Sun was speechless.

Censor Yuan did not want to waste time and said directly:

"Yuan came here to discuss the time of divorce with the Sun family. I want to ask if your Sun family plans to send a letter to the capital now and ask Sun Herong to come back for the divorce, or wait until after he passes the exam?"

Uncle Sun hurriedly said:

"How can you send the letter now? It will definitely interfere with Rong'er's exam!"

Censor Yuan said meaningfully:

"What kind of interference is this? Even if Sun Herong passes the imperial examination and enters the officialdom, there are still many things that can interfere with him."

Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment before he realized the meaning and immediately became dejected.

No matter how upright and kind the Censor in front of him was, he was still a second-rank official.

Even if Sun Herong passed the imperial examination, with his status and skills, there would be countless ways to deal with Sun Herong.

Now that Cao had done evil to He Rong's wife first, it would be good if the Yuan family could let it go and both parties could part ways amicably.

If the Yuan family really has to use tough measures, the Sun family will not be able to afford it.

"Master Yuan, how about... how about our clan write a divorce document first, sign it and let you take it back, which can be regarded as a certificate. We can do the rest after Rong Ge'er comes back from the trial?"

Fearing that Censor Yuan would not agree, he quickly added, "I will persuade Rong'er well, and when the time comes, I will never let him cause any more trouble."

Censor Yuan did not object.

It was just a threat.

He himself was a student from a poor family and studied hard for more than ten years before he passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom.

Sun Herong was innocent after all, and he had no intention of damaging the future of such a young man unless it was absolutely necessary.

Sun Herong is not as stubborn and foolish as his mother. By then he should understand the pros and cons and divorce honestly.

Seeing the divorce letter that her grandfather brought back, Mo Niang actually smiled happily:

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Censor Yuan sighed:

"Take good care of yourself first, and don't worry about anything else. Your grandmother and I will take care of it for you."

"Yes."

Mo Niang respectfully agreed.

After all, she was young and the miscarriage was not too long ago. Under the careful care of Old Madam Yuan, she had recovered about 60 to 70 percent after five or six days of rest.

It’s already fifteen.

Mo Niang had always wanted to go to Cihang Temple to thank the abbot for saving her grandmother's life, so she begged her grandmother to prepare offerings and go to Cihang Temple together.

I never expected that I would meet the Minister of War asking for medicine today.
