Xu Tianyi still wanted to pretend to be innocent, but the facts that Zhou Ruihu presented next caught him obviously off guard.
"You don't have to make excuses. My niece was sent to my home by her former slaves. When she was sent here, she was hanging with only one breath left. They said you harmed her and wanted to seize property!"
"And I also asked the doctor to see Yaoniang. Yaoniang is indeed poisoned. As for why Yaoniang was poisoned, I think you know better than me."
"And in addition to this, they also said that you were fooling around with that maid named Fang Yue'er. Fang Yue'er killed my sister. Instead of driving him out, you hung out with her. Sometimes I can't help but want to I wonder if you were involved in my sister's matter."
Upon hearing the accusation, Xu Tianyi immediately defended himself, "Uncle, how could I do such a thing? Someone is clearly framing me!"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Zhou Ruihu frowned and said in disgust, "And don't call me uncle, I'm not your uncle."
"Little uncle, you can't listen to one person's words. I am really innocent! It must be those unruly slaves who had a grudge against me because I drove them away. That's why they set up such a trap for me. Yaoniang has not been seen these days. I'm also looking everywhere! Uncle, how could I not care about Yaoniang? How could I do such a cruel thing to Yaoniang."
What Xu Tianyi said was sincere, and for a moment Zhou Ruihu couldn't help but wonder if he had really wronged a good person.
However, those slaves were also old and loyal servants of his family, and they were all talking about it. Yaoniang was indeed poisoned. He did not believe that the slaves were poisoned. Yaoniang's poisoning would cause trouble that has not ended yet.
So Zhou Ruihu just said coldly, "Don't argue with me. If you are really innocent, the government will find out everything! As for my niece, no matter what the outcome is, you have to sign the divorce letter for me today." .After all, even if you didn’t poison my niece, it proves that you can’t even protect my niece’s personal safety. In that case, what use do I need from you!”
After he finished speaking, Zhou Ruihu also took out a Heli Shu. It was obvious that this Heli Shu was the real purpose of Zhou Ruihu's coming here.
Seeing the book of reconciliation in Zhou Ruihu's hand, Xu Tianyi really panicked, "I will not reconcile with Yaoniang. Even if you appeal, I will not reconcile with Yaoniang! Don't even think about me and Yaoniang." Mom, separate. I will not sign this and the Lishu, unless Yao Niang personally tells me to sign, I will sign it."
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Zhou Ruihu sneered, "Xu Tianyi, do you think I asked you to sign this and leave the book? I tell you, you have to sign today even if you sign it! You have to sign it if you don't sign it! Finish signing I will send you to the government tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ruihu directly pressed the red ink pad on Xu Tianyi's thumb, and then he directly grabbed Xu Tianyi's thumb and pressed the fingerprint heavily on the paper.
Xu Tianyi wanted to struggle but was unable to do anything.
After Zhou Ruihu got the letter of peace and separation, he no longer officially promised Tianyi before leaving. He even just closed the door and said, "Just take care of yourself."
The night was as dark as ink, and there was no starlight outside.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She was still thinking about what happened at dinner today. She didn't understand why her parents-in-law, who had been living in harmony with her nephew and son-in-law a moment ago, tied up her nephew and son-in-law in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the parents-in-law did not say a word. No matter how you think about this matter, it will make people more curious.
But tonight Da Lang went to patrol the city, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Now, the eldest lady of the Zhou family couldn't sleep even more.
In the middle of the night, she finally decided to get up secretly, and quietly came to the woodshed where Xu Tianyi was imprisoned.
Seeing that there was no one in the woodshed, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the woodshed was locked, she kept the key to the woodshed for convenience because she was often in charge of cooking.
So within a moment, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family opened the door of the woodshed.
Hearing the sound at the door, Xu Tianyi, who had been unable to sleep, became even more alert now. He didn't know that this
There will be something waiting for you at this moment.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianyi couldn't help but stare nervously at the door of the woodshed.
It wasn't until the faint firelight came through and he saw a familiar woman's face that Xu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Without waiting for the elder sister-in-law of the Zhou family to speak first, he said to the elder sister-in-law of the Zhou family, "Hello, aunt," as if nothing was wrong.
Xu Tianyi's call "aunt" startled the Zhou family's sister-in-law.
She looked to both sides warily, then lowered her voice and said, "Don't speak loudly."
Hearing what she said, Xu Tianyi understood that this sister-in-law had probably secretly come here behind her family's back, but he didn't know what exactly this sister-in-law was trying to get from him.
But no matter what she was trying to get, as long as her thoughts were not consistent with others, she might be able to get a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, why are you staying up late at night and coming to my place?"
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family heard what Xu Tianyi said, she was not polite. She said directly, "I'm just curious about how you ended up in such a mess. What are they going to do to you?"
Unexpectedly, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family would come here so innocently to ask him about the initiator. Xu Tianyi thought the other party's behavior was a bit funny, but on the surface, he still said calmly, "Actually, it's nothing, just that my grandfather and grandmother considered their uncle. I don’t have money to get a wife, so they decided to let me and Yaoniang make peace, so that Yaoniang can fall into their hands, and then Yaoniang’s property can be distributed how they want.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family immediately became happy.
And such good things?
She had long heard people say that the Zhou family had a lot of money, and if the supplement could be shared equally by her parents' family, it would be a huge sum of money.
Hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family couldn't be happy.
However, just when the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was rejoicing, Xu Tianyi said, "It's a pity that they want to take over Yaoniang's property, and I won't agree. So even if they control Yaoniang and prevent me and Yaoniang from being together, I won’t tell them where the property is.”
Upon hearing this, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family became anxious, "This money is not yours, so why do you have the right to hide it?"
As soon as he heard what the other party said, Xu Tianyi also tested out that the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was a villain who was greedy for profit.
So Xu Tianyi immediately said with an awe-inspiring expression, "But this money is not theirs, it is Yaoniang's personal money! What's more, little aunt, you don't really think this money has anything to do with you, do you?"
I didn't expect that Xu Tianyi would directly talk about the topic he cared about most.
She immediately said, "We are a family, so of course our family also has a share."
However, after hearing the Zhou family's sister-in-law's taken-for-granted words, Xu Tianyi immediately burst into laughter.
"Even if we are a family, even if we are all sons, there are still different levels of people's hearts! I'm afraid your mother-in-law has no intention of giving you any property this time. After all, she should always be partial to her younger son, and her younger son has not yet Get married. She probably also wants to use the money to arrange a wedding for her younger son, right?"
After hearing what the other party said, the Zhou family's sister-in-law was a little silent.
In fact, Xu Tianyi's guess was accurate. Although the three sons were all the sons of her mother-in-law, among the three sons, the mother-in-law also had a third-class son. Although she was pretty good to Da Lang, she could What she likes most on weekdays is her youngest son, and she will leave almost everything good to him. Last time, her youngest son was beaten and bedridden, but the old lady even arranged all the eggs she usually gave to her eldest grandson for him. My son ate it. .z.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family felt very uncomfortable when she thought of this.
Moreover, my younger brother has indeed been talking about getting married recently, and they are from good families. My younger brother has also fallen in love with a girl named Qiulian. That girl is the youngest daughter of the landowner Shu's family. She has a beautiful child and is doted on. Like a treasure.
Also because he dotes on his little daughter, the landowner Shu's family also has requirements for his daughter's husband. He requires that the husband's family must have at least a hundred acres of fertile land and a wealth of millions. There must also be a large courtyard and a number of maids and slaves.
This kind of request from them
How is home possible?
Although they are a bit wealthier than the average family, they are not a business family after all, and their family's wealth is really limited.
So when they heard this request, their whole family was a little intimidated. However, it was not only Zhou Ruihu who took a fancy to Qiulian, but Qiulian also took a fancy to his third brother Zhou Ruihu.
So when they thought the matter was over, the landlord of Nashu only came up with another plan.
If you don't have money, you can just ask Zhou Ruihu to come and be your son-in-law. No matter what the grievance is, you can't grievance your daughter to endure hardship.
This is understandable. For a poor family or a family with many sons, it is better to give a son as a son-in-law than to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Moreover, if the Shu family is rich, Zhou Ruihu's food and clothing expenses may rise to a higher level.
Isn't this a proper way to marry into a rich family?
However, their old lady refused to let go.
Landlord Shu felt sorry for his youngest daughter, and she also felt sorry for her youngest son. It is shameful to be someone's son-in-law. If someone else makes the decision, the younger son may suffer some injustice.
So after Yaoniang's accident, Mrs. Zhou took Yaoniang in without hesitation, probably because of this consideration.
But she didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to be so selfish. She actually planned to give all her property only to her youngest son.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was not a good thing.
As soon as Xu Tianyi saw the expression on the Zhou family's sister-in-law's face, he knew that his plan to sow discord was successful.
He then said, "What a pity, I won't tell them where Yaoniang's wealth is! After all, I am too angry. Auntie, if they discuss it with me, how could I be stingy with this little money?" But they tied me up directly without consulting me, which is really insulting!"
