Chapter 435: Angry
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Nanchuan kicked Meng, and her body flew straight out and fell to the ground.
"You stupid woman, you are scared now, what were you doing before?"
"If you hadn't insisted on keeping Hua Feixue, would she have had the chance to come into contact with the Wu family?"
"Such a big mess was caused by you, a stupid woman. How could the Marquis' Mansion be ruined by you?"
"Meng Shuwan, I want to divorce you!"
Ji Nanchuan was about to get a pen and paper to write a divorce letter. Seeing this, Meng Shi didn't care about the pain anymore. She rushed over and cried, "My Lord, please don't!"
Ji Qingfeng's expression also changed drastically and he said, "Father, no."
"Mother has worked hard for the family for more than 20 years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Now that father is divorcing his wife, how will people outside view you, and how will they view the Yongning Marquisate?"
"Is father going to be a heartless and ungrateful person?"
Ji Nanchuan clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "I can't care less. I have tolerated her for a long time. If I continue to tolerate her like this, the whole mansion will be destroyed by her."
"Qingfeng, I have made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me anymore."
Ji Qingfeng's face changed slightly and he immediately knelt in front of Ji Nanchuan.
"Father, please think twice."
"Now my grandmother is bedridden and still needs my mother to take care of her. My three brothers haven't started a family yet, and Qingqing's family is still not settled. Many things need my mother to take care of them."
"If you divorce my mother, the entire mansion will lose its morale. By then, the mansion's century-old foundation will be completely destroyed!"
"Please, father, for the sake of our three brothers, don't divorce me."
In this dynasty, there were only two ways to divorce a wife.
Or the woman would shave her head and become a nun, with the green lamp and ancient Buddha as her companions.
Or they will be driven to death by the spit of outsiders.
After all, no family of the woman can accept that their daughter is divorced by a man. They think it is a shameful act.
Especially, Meng is already very old and is the mother of four children!
If she were divorced by Ji Nanchuan, she would really be dead.
After all, she was his mother, and Ji Qingfeng couldn't bear to watch her being divorced by Ji Nanchuan.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Father, if you still insist on divorcing me, I will kneel here and not get up until you are willing to take back your decision."
Seeing his son being so stubborn, Ji Nanchuan sighed helplessly, "Qingfeng you...ah~"
"Forget it. I can choose not to divorce Meng, but I will take back the power of the housekeeper in the mansion. All matters in the mansion will no longer need to go through her hands."
"Besides that, Mrs. Meng must stay in the mansion. She is not allowed to go anywhere except to take care of your grandmother."
Ji Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that compared to divorcing his wife, this was already the best outcome for Meng!
He walked over, helped Meng up, and began to comfort her.
"Mother, you have worked so hard for so long, just take a good rest in the next few days!"
Meng's eyes were moist and tears fell like rain, choking her throat.
As the mistress of a marquisate, she had lived a glorious life, but she never expected that one day she would fall to this point.
At this time, a servant came to report, "My Lord, someone from the government office has come to investigate the murder of Master Meng Er and Young Master Wu. Go out and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Nanchuan and Ji Qingfeng no longer cared about Mrs. Meng and hurried to the front hall.
In the yard, the two bodies were still lying on the ground. Chen Huaxiu held Wu Chaoyang's body and cried until her voice became hoarse.
Ji Qingqing stood aside, as if she had lost her soul, and said nothing.
Wu Jinxi's face was filled with grief. He could no longer control himself. He rushed to Ji Qingqing and slapped her in the face.
"How could you kill your brother? He always thought of you and even destroyed Ji Yuntang's face to help you succeed. He wanted you to be the Crown Princess in glory and without any worries. How could you bear to do that?"
Ji Qingqing was slapped by Wu Jinxi. She couldn't stand it at all and slapped him back immediately.
"Is he doing that for me? He's doing that for his own wealth and glory!"
"You know best what kind of people your two sons are. I haven't seen you for sixteen years, and you haven't raised me for a single day. Why should I be so sorry?"
"Don't forget, I am in this situation now because of you. Are you allowed to ruin my life, but I can't take revenge on you?"
"I just want you to have a taste of the pain of losing your son."
"You, you, you unfilial daughter!" Wu Jin's chest ached with joy. He felt a blackness in front of his eyes and several images of Ji Qingqing appeared in front of him. His head felt heavier and heavier.
Then, his body tilted and he fell over.
Ji Qingqing stepped forward and kicked Wu Jinxi, "Get up, die if you want to, don't pretend to be dead in front of me!"
He kicked several times, but the person on the ground didn't react at all.
Ji Qingqing couldn't help but panic. Just as she was about to call for help, she heard the sound of a door being broken.
Then, soldiers rushed in and said, "The government is investigating a case. Anyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave immediately!"
The front hall and the back yard were surrounded. A guard came forward, checked Wu Jinxi's breath, and reported to the prefect next to him.
"Sir, another one died."
Ji Qingqing: "..."
Ji Qingqing: "!!!"
She never expected that he would die just because she had a few words with Wu Jinxi?
How is this possible?
Wu Shijie was so frightened that he slumped to the ground with his eyes wide open. He could no longer hold back and broke down crying.
They thought coming to the capital would be a turning point in their fate, but unexpectedly it became the place where their family members lost their lives.
Perhaps it was fate that the person who killed Wu Jinxi and Wu Chaoyang was their own sister whom they wanted to see the most.
How ironic!
Wu Shijie could no longer control his emotions, he stood up and pointed at Ji Qingqing and said: "It was her, she killed my brother and pissed off my father to death!"
"Sir, you must avenge my father and brother."
The prefect of the capital was named Zhao Chengjiu. He was over forty years old and slightly overweight.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little headache.
This case concerns the reputation of the Yongning Marquisate, and even the prince is involved.
The future Crown Princess murdered her own brother in public, and her own brother then killed the future Crown Princess's mother's brother. It was really bloody and scary.
Ji Huaiche is in the Dali Temple and cannot take over the case to avoid suspicion.
The Ministry of Justice did not dare to take over for fear of offending the emperor, so the case was assigned to him.
It's a pity that he is just a small prefect and has to deal with such a difficult case.
Zhao Chengjiu just felt a headache.
"First, arrest Miss Ji and the mother and son of the Wu family and bring them back to the government office for interrogation."
