Cui smiled slightly, "You, I really don't understand the affairs of the court. It's not that simple. Even if your brother was promoted to the minister by his own ability, do you believe it? After he divorced his wife, there were more people who deal with him. Your brother was young and successful and envious. Why are those people not touching him now? It's because he has a father-in-law, his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is powerful and a hot general. Before he touched him, he had to consider three points of Jiangning Hou. But if he was not the son-in-law of Jiangning Hou, do you think those people would still show mercy to him?"

Chen Xingru said lightly: "Since he can be a minister, he has his own way to deal with the disputes in the court."

"Is that right? Then you can try it. If your brother really makes you divorce your wife, see if the consequences are as I said? But you have to be prepared. At that time, you will no longer be the minister's sister."

"Are you scaring me? You are naturally helping her." Chen Xingru's face was unmoved at all, but her heart was a little shaken.

Cui smiled, "What am I doing for her? She is my granddaughter in name, but she has no feelings for her. I just don't want to make things worse and make both families lose face. This is not good for anyone. Auntie, in this Jiangning Marquis Mansion, I am the only one who is neutral, and only what I say is the most fair."

After saying that, Cui stood up and patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, I won't say much, so as not to make many mistakes. You should think about it yourself. If you don't believe me, you can also ask your father. Although your father doesn't care about the matter, the more he cares about the matter, the more thorough he sees it."

Cui left after saying that.

Chen Xingru walked out slowly, Li Qirong was still kneeling in front of his mother, and Mrs. Jiangning Hou sat aside, unmoved and did not speak.

She actually doesn't like this sister-in-law. Although she has always pleased her on the surface, it is not because she is heartless, but because she knows that her brother feels sorry for her, she wants to have a show for her brother to show her.

When she speaks, she likes to be the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion is a prominent family. Naturally, the Chen family cannot compare with it. Whenever she hears those seemingly plain but proud words, she becomes angry.

"My mother-in-law, what do you think of this?" Chen's mother was really angry, looked at her daughter-in-law hatefully, turned to ask Mrs. Jiangning Marquis.

Mrs. Jiangning Hou raised her eyes and looked at Li Qirong indifferently. Li Qirong was still sobbing, and her tears made her look dirty.

Mrs. Marquis of Jiangning said: "How can you give Xingru an explanation for this matter? What does the mother-in-law mean?"

Chen’s mother said: “It is natural to explain. As for how to explain, let’s talk about it.”

Mrs. Jiangning Hou looked at Li Qirong, "I think we will be a family when we close the door. If we don't do this, we will do it. Otherwise, we will ask Rong'er to admit his mistake to Xingru. As for Xingru's request, we can also say it."

"What's the use of admitting mistakes?" Chen Xingru said coldly.

Mrs. Jiangning Hou looked at her with a faint expression, "What do you think about that?"

"I still said the same thing, either leave her or report to the official!" Chen Xingru said coldly.

"What do you think about it?" Mrs. Jiangning Hou looked at Chen's mother.

Chen's mother felt that it was unnecessary to divorce her. After all, the Hou Mansion had a great wealth and no need to come to celebrate the autumn wind during the holidays. She had generous gifts. In addition, during the two or three years after Li Qirong married, she also used her dowry to subsidize the mansion.

Moreover, it is not reasonable to divorce your wife just because of this. After all, they are also thinking about it for the sake of happiness.

It's wrong, but the original intention is right.

It is even more unnecessary to report to an official. Li Qirong's surname is Li, but after she married, the surname Chen was given in front of the surname, and the person who lost the Chen family was also from the Chen family.

If you can't stop or report to the official, then you can't speak out in this tone.

Chen's mother thought about it and felt that it would be better to take advantage of this time to let the arrogant mother-in-law burst into blood?

Then he said, "Let's do this, Xingru's background is not low. Being a concubine for Jingting is aggrieved, so she will have to worry about her parents' affairs. If she can be a fair wife, it will be a blessing given to her by her parents. As for the matter of poisoning, I think it's not a good thing. Whether it's a report to an official or a divorce from a wife, it's not a good thing. It's better to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing, so she will give Xingru 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver as a dowry for her. In that way, she will have a good life in the mansion. What do you think?"

Mrs. Jiangning Hou nodded slightly, "Of course I have no objection."

Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Xingru, "What do you think?"

Chen Xingru turned his face away and knew that his mother had compromised and money was useless to her. She just asked after going home. However, she was unwilling to compromise so she did not answer.

Chen's mother said as if she agreed, and said, "Let's do it like this. While everyone is present today, please ask your mother-in-law to give the money to Xingru."

Mrs. Jiangning Hou was slightly surprised, "I'll give it? Why did I give it?"

Chen's mother was stunned, "If you don't give it, who will give it? Will she?"

If Li Qirong gave it to her, she would not be happy. After Li Qirong's money was married, she would belong to the Chen family.

If you take it out from her, wouldn’t you still pay your own money?

"It's better for anyone to give it to you. My mother-in-law and your family will think about it. Fortunately, they are now from the Chen family. If she does something wrong, she will have to pay for money. Naturally, her husband's family will do her best to make money. Where can I get back to her parents' home? Of course, if she has one, it's okay to give some. I can also take out more than a thousand taels, so I'll make a fraction of it for you."

As he said that, he ordered the woman, "Come on, go and get a thousand taels of silver bills."

Chen's mother was furious, "One thousand taels of silver? Are you sending the beggar?"

She stood up and pointed at Li Qirong and said angrily: "If you don't give an explanation for this matter today, don't think about entering the Chen Mansion again."

She said this to Li Qirong, but in fact she told her to Mrs. Jiangning.

Mrs. Jiangning Hou got up and said in a light voice: "Okay, my in-laws sit slowly, and I won't stop you from teaching your daughter-in-law a lesson."

After saying that, the old lady and maid were left to serve him and left.

Chen's mother's face was extremely difficult to see. She really didn't expect that this woman would be so cruel and ruthless.

"Don't worry!" Chen's mother said to her master with hatred.

Mr. Chen sighed softly, "Forget it, what are you making trouble? My mother-in-law has a saying that is right. They are all family members, so what else do you want? After the young lady passed the door, she was our wife. If the wife made a mistake, she would ask for money when she came back. Is it reasonable?"

Chen's mother glared, "What can't be said? This is the daughter they taught. She taught her like this and poisoned people. Your daughter almost died in her hands. Look at your weak appearance, fortunately, my son is not like you."

"Do you really want your son to divorce his wife before you can be content?" Mr. Chen was not angry either, but just asked calmly.

Chen's mother glared at Li Qirong, "I can't just let it go."

"Why can't you settle down?" Chen Xingru got angry when she heard her mother's words. "The old lady said just now, what would happen if her brother divorced. Using such words to scare me was clearly helping her. I don't believe it, my brother can't get her back."
