"When did I hit you? I can clearly count these fingers, and not one of them has touched you."
Yu Jinxi raised his onion-like fingers and spoke sincerely.
"You're still making excuses!"
The old lady pointed at her face and said to Gu Qiheng, "Look carefully at your mother's face and the slap marks on it. Your mother-in-law was beaten by my wife today."
"Now it's so outrageous that even a daughter-in-law can step on her mother-in-law's face and beat her."
Gu Qiheng's face turned blue with shame and he looked directly at Yu Jinxi, "You, kneel down and apologize to mother!"
The tone was strong and she could not refuse.
Yu Jinxi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you want to ask what happened today?"
Gu Qiheng's tone was soft but tough, "No matter what happens, a daughter-in-law cannot hit her mother-in-law. Quickly apologize to mother. Mother is generous. If you apologize, she will definitely forgive you."
The old lady interjected in a sharp voice, "Yes, you kneel down and apologize to me, and then take out the thirty thousand taels of silver, and I won't argue with you about this matter."
Yu Jinxi ignored the old lady and said directly to Gu Qiheng, "Your 30,000 taels of silver were used to transport Yunlong silk. If the old lady wants to go back, you can handle it."
"Jinxi..." Gu Qiheng called out in a soft voice, pretending to be pitiful, hoping to make Yu Jinxi relent and let her pay to settle the matter.
Yu Jinxi said bluntly, "I don't have any money here. If you hadn't stopped me, the shop would have been sold."
"Today, the old lady and the flower girl pestered me for the 30,000 taels of silver, and even kicked me out of the door. So many people outside the door saw it. She jumped on me to beat me, but she said that I beat her, and she You want to use my mother-in-law's authority to suppress me.
Since this family can't tolerate me, then give me a letter of divorce and I will leave on my own. There is no need to target me like this. "
Yu Jinxi said, with a cry in his voice, but tears were holding back in his eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.
At this time, Qingti also cried, "If you don't believe what our young lady said, you can call the young master here. He has witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. How could he wrongly accuse our young lady so indiscriminately?"
"You fart, if you hadn't said I was illiterate, I would have beaten you?"
When the old lady heard this, she became angry and even rushed to fight Yu Jinxi.
She is a country woman. What she is most proud of is raising a son who is the number one scholar. However, she is illiterate and still wants to act like the wife of the number one scholar in the capital. She has been ostracized many times and the last thing she wants to hear is that she is mentioned by others. She is illiterate, and she is even less willing to mention the embarrassing past where she mistook a hundred taels of silver for ten thousand taels.
Seeing the old lady rushing up to hit someone with a few steps, Qingti quickly stopped her, and Hua Niu also took the opportunity to try to get back the slap she received, but a fight broke out.
Qingti had learned two moves from Chu Dashan, and she didn't panic at all when one hit two.
The old lady and the flower girl didn't want to please each other. They cursed and beat each other even more fiercely.
The scene was chaotic, and no one listened to Gu Qiheng's words.
Gu Qiheng was so angry that he had a headache and broke a tea bowl with a "pop" sound before he was able to calm him down.
"What are all the fuss about? Isn't it chaotic enough?"
The old lady looked at Gu Qiheng blankly, and when she realized what she was doing, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Old man, you are so cruel. You died of illness a long time ago, leaving me as a lonely old woman to be bullied. I... I can't live anymore. Take me away. I will keep you company, even if it's for the next time. Hell is better than being bullied here..."
The old lady used her ultimate move, and her cries were so loud that it hurt people's ears.
Yu Jinxi glanced at Qingti, and Qingti knelt down beside Yu Jinxi, pulled her wrist, and started crying loudly.
"Miss, let's go back to Dingzhou. We won't be wronged here. If the master and his wife knew that you were wrongly accused like this, they would definitely be heartbroken."
"Miss, Qingti wants to go back to Dingzhou, please take Qingti back..."
Qingti was young, had a louder voice, and was full of energy. Her words were clear, and she directly suppressed the old lady's voice.
The old lady couldn't cry and looked at Qingti blankly, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her head.
When did these two bitches learn this trick?
In front of Gu Qiheng and others, Yu Jinxi helped Qingti up and choked with sobs, "Okay, I'll take you back to Dingzhou."
Qingti was moved to tears.
Yu Jinxi looked at Gu Qiheng again and said softly, "Since this family can't accommodate me, I will go back to my hometown in Dingzhou. Even if I go to the Women's Temple and live in the Buddha's lantern for the rest of my life, I will admit it. Then I will Ask someone to hand over the petition, and when the time comes, ask the Yamen to ask you and me to reconcile."
Seeing that she was really determined to leave, the old lady was confused.
When did Yu Jinxi become so difficult to talk to?
What happened to her? When did you change the core?
Gu Qiheng's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said immediately, "You and I are married by the emperor, how can we just reconcile and divorce?"
"Jinxi, I don't believe you."
Gu Qiheng walked towards her and raised his hand to shake Yu Jinxi's hand, but she calmly blocked him.
Seeing that he planned to use a soft policy again, Yu Jinxi was not polite to him, "I know you don't believe what I said, so let Chengxuan come over. He saw it with his own eyes at the time, or did he ask someone to invite the old lady and his cousin? It's open."
The old lady's face was livid with anger, "Just call Chengxuan over and see if my old lady lied?"
Hua Niu secretly thought it was not good and wanted to stop her, but Gu Qiheng had already sent someone to call Gu Chengxuan.
After a while, Gu Chengxuan came. Gu Qiheng asked him what happened this morning. Gu Chengxuan looked at the old lady, then at Yu Jinxi, and finally pointed directly at Hua Niu.
"It was all instigated by my cousin. She wanted to hit my mother, but hit my grandmother by mistake. I saw it clearly. It was she who pushed my mother out of the door. Many people outside saw it."
Hua Niu became anxious when she heard this, "Gu Chengxuan, how can you, a child, lie? When did I ever beat your mother?"
The old lady also said, "Chengxuan, you can't turn your elbows outward."
Gu Chengxuan said without changing his expression, "Grandma, you and my mother used to be very good, but it's all because of my cousin that she talks ill of my mother every day and says that she used the money given by my father to spend the family."
"You fart, it's obviously you who said this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Niu suddenly realized that Gu Qiheng had used her as a gun.
He deliberately told her the news, asking her to tell the old lady, and then find fault with Yu Jinxi while he hid behind and pretended to be a good person.
Hua Niu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of what Gu Chengxuan warned her that day.
This kid, how can he be so calculating?
At this time, Gu Chengxuan said again, "Cousin, I told you to take good care of your grandmother, have you done it? How can you say that what I said is nonsense?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qiheng's displeased eyes shot towards her coldly.
Hua Niu originally lived in the Gu family under the pretext of taking care of her aunt, but now it seemed to Gu Qiheng that she was causing the Gu family to be in a state of panic. She felt frightened just thinking about it.
You won't kick her out, will you?
