On this day, when Wu Conglie was drinking flower wine outside, he met his drinking buddy, Su Congjian, a famous talent in the country.
Su Congjian was also a womanizer, a womanizer, and an alcoholic. However, his family background was profound and he had no intention of holding an official position, so he followed his own free will.
It can be said that he and Wu Conglie have the same chemistry.
Ever since they met, they would always get together to have fun and have a good time.
After hearing about Wu Conglie's troubles, Su Congjian took the initiative to make suggestions for Wu Conglie.
"Your wife is already the daughter of a guilty minister. Based on this status, you can divorce her. It's just not easy to do, so please explain it differently.
Wouldn't it be perfect to give her some of the medicine we commonly use, and then find a servant or the like to catch her in bed? By then, she wouldn't even be able to bring even a single coin out of the house for her dowry. "
When Wu Conglie heard this, he was about to nod in agreement, but felt it was inappropriate.
He shook his head and said, "This is me cuckolding myself. I won't do it."
They often do things like cuckolding for others. They know how humiliating it is, so why would they take the initiative to do it on their own heads?
When the time comes, his wife will be divorced, but no matter where he goes, he will be talked about and laughed at. Wu Conglie didn't want to live a life where he couldn't even lift his head.
Su Congjian then made another plan.
"Then create some kind of case and make her a suspect... No, just make her a witness. As long as she goes to court, shows her face, then you can do it too , he divorced her on the grounds that she had lost her womanly virtues."
This is a good idea!
When Wu Conglie heard this, he immediately became excited.
After picking up the wine glass and taking a sip with Su Congjian, the two discussed the matter in detail.
But Mr. Shu didn't know anything about it at home.
In fact, she had no feelings for Wu Conglie for a long time. As Wu Conglie brought new people into the house one after another, until the pile was full, and they gave away one after another or sold one after another, Mrs. Shu knew it. : Just protect yourself and your children.
She still did her job, honestly, and did everything she could as a virtuous wife.
Today was Wu Huai's fifth birthday. Shu made a table of delicious dishes for Wu Huai and his younger brothers and sisters to play together.
Mrs. Shu was watching and accompanying her.
Wu Huai liked his younger brothers and sisters very much. He was well-educated by his mother when he was young, and he did not look down upon them because they were concubines.
After eating, several children played in the yard.
One of the maids suggested that they play hide-and-seek.
The children immediately happily agreed.
In this way, their playing area expanded from inside the courtyard to outside the courtyard, to the shadows of flowers and trees outside the main courtyard.
Mrs. Shu put down her needle and thread and followed her out, just in case something happened to the children.
But something happened anyway.
The youngest, Wu Dieer, only two years old, died.
The neck was broken.
Mrs. Shu was shocked, but as the wife of the head of the house, she was very stable.
Just when she was thinking about where to place Wu Die's body, Wu Conglie came back at the right time.
Originally, for wealthy families, this kind of thing would not be reported to the official.
Reporting to the police will damage your reputation. It would be detrimental to the reputation of both the head of the family and the wife of the head of the family.
Others will think that this family is really bad, even allowing people to die inexplicably in their own house and so on.
The person who died was not a servant, but a concubine who was considered half a master.
So I usually check and handle it internally.
But Wu Conglie was abnormal this time.
He immediately wanted to report it to the official.
Mr. Shu frowned.
But she couldn't say anything.
After all, Wu Die is Wu Conglie's daughter, and Wu Conglie is the head of the family. It is not Shu's turn to decide what to do about such a big matter.
If this kind of master fails, it will be Shu's own trouble.
So he didn't say anything to stop him and just stood aside.
Who knows, things just happened to ferment like this.
The suspected murderer was quickly caught. It is a nursing home in the mansion.
The nurse refused to plead guilty after being arrested.
One of the maids said: Mrs. Shu was not far away when the crime occurred, and she should have seen the nurse coming and going from the scene of the crime.
In this case, Mr. Shu will have to appear in court to testify.
Because Wu Huai was nearby when Wu Die died, and he was also the only person around the crime scene besides Wu Die.
A little further away is the Shu family.
Wu Huai, who was five years old and had practiced a little martial arts, was still incapable of breaking Wu Die's neck.
And Mr. Shu did indeed see that the nurse had gone in and out of those trees at that time.
Yes, Wu Die died behind a big tree.
Mrs. Shu had to testify in court: to prove that what she saw at that time was the fact that the nurse walked behind those trees and walked out again after a few breaths.
Mr. Shu was deeply influenced by ethics and was unwilling to show up in court no matter what.
When going to court, you have to register your name. For a woman, it is extremely disrespectful and embarrassing for a woman to announce her name publicly to outsiders or in front of everyone.
Shu didn't want to.
She invited the official responsible for investigating the case to her residence for private questioning accompanied by Wu Conglie.
But after asking in private, the official still asked Shu to testify in court when the case was heard.
Shu had no choice but to ask Wu Conglie for help.
Wu Conglie comforted her: "Now that the atmosphere is open, don't restrict yourself by clinging to old etiquette. You are just going out to testify, it's okay."
In this way, without the support of her husband, and her son Wu Huai would be suspected if he did not come out of court, Shu went to court.
When the nurse was finally convicted based on her testimony, Mrs. Shu was slapped in the face with a divorce note from Wu Conglie.
"Shu, you are already a fourth-rank wife, but you openly declare your name in front of others, making me, Wu Conglie, a member of the Wu family, a joke in the entire capital city.
My home can no longer tolerate a rude woman like you who does not consider the reputation of the family and brings the reputation of her children into disrepute!
You go, take your son who is suspected of being a murderer at a young age, and get out of my house. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. "
Shu: "..."
It took her a lot of effort and a long time to figure out that she had fallen into Wu Conglie's trap.
Wu Conglie would rather kill his daughter than drive her and Wu Huai out of the trap.
The dignified and stoic Mrs. Shu silently picked up the divorce letter, took her son, put away a few gold and silver items, and stepped out of Wu Conglie's house.
From then on, he made a living by making needlework and washing clothes for others, and he worked hard to raise Wu Huai.
But fate really plays tricks on people.
