Yun Bi fell silent all of a sudden.
What on earth was he saying to the child?
"Next we’ll need to trouble Third Uncle!!" Yun Jinnian didn’t mind at all.
Seeing that Yun Jinnian was unconcerned, Yun Bi also felt puzzled, his niece was indeed bold and had a great capacity for composure.
"Don’t worry," he said. "Those girls of the Nuandong family, following the Fen Family, could be ground to death any given day. I actually took it upon myself to have them divorce. The Nuandong sisters following their mother is as good as saving their mother’s life!"
"It’s good they’re divorced, giving them a peaceful place to stay. I’m sure mother and daughters will be able to lead a decent life!"
Because of Nuandong’s family matters, there wasn’t much celebration. After a simple meal together, everyone went back to rest.
Originally, it was decided that they would set off for Capital City at dawn, but due to Nuandong’s family matters, the decision was made to stay an extra day or two. Once the matter was settled and Mrs. Xia and the others were properly taken care of, they would leave.
With so much time already delayed, a few more days wouldn’t hurt.
In the dead of night, Mrs. Xia awoke and immediately had maids and nannies bring her food.
"You’ve just given birth and your body has been greatly depleted. Fourth Miss said you need to recover slowly and shouldn’t eat anything too nourishing all at once!" said the nanny, intending to feed Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia quickly said, "I can do it myself!"
"You should rest well!" insisted the nanny, slowly feeding Mrs. Xia.
Inside, she felt very jealous.
Being a servant herself, just because Mrs. Xia had a good daughter who was liked by the young lady, even Mrs. Xia and her family were rescued from the abyss.
Why was their fate so good?
No matter how hard it was before, the future was surely going to be very good.
The members of the Fen Family were all in a state of anxiety. Fen Zhiqiu and Fen Zhidong had already been beaten several times, crying with hardly any voice left.
Their hearts were shattered with regret, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. If there were, they would not have provoked Mrs. Xia and brought everything to an unmanageable state out into the open.
The butler of the Fen Family seemed to have aged ten years, his temples graying. Mrs. Chen Fen curled up in a corner, not daring to make a sound, because the butler had hit her as well.
The three sons of the Fen Family were huddled in the corner, hating each other, especially resenting Fen Zhiqiu’s husband.
How did he end up marrying such a wife?
Dawn had long broken, yet no one came with food. All of them, accustomed to luxury, were now so hungry they could hardly muster any strength.
Only then did the prison door creak open, and the prison head’s rough rebuke scared the members of the Fen Family to the point of incontinence.
"Hurry up, don’t dawdle, follow me!"
"Officer, where are we going?" the butler asked.
In fact, they were so suddenly arrested that they still had some silver on them, so he quickly took it out to bribe the guard.
"The Governor said your Fen Family is a den of cold-hearted, ruthless wolves, ungrateful and merciless. You are to be publicly tried at the entrance of the Governor’s Office, so get moving!" said the prison head, snatching the silver the butler handed over.
Only a fool would refuse money.
At that moment, the Fen Family truly felt terrified to their core.
Being publicly tried at the entrance of the Governor’s Office meant they could end up skinned if not dead.
Once they left the prison, the procession was in utter disarray. Upon reaching the entrance of the Governor’s Office, many women began to hurl rotten eggs and spoiled cabbage leaves at them.
The more fiercely they threw, the more it showed they had a wicked mother-in-law at home. It was a shared vendetta.
"Order in the court!"
Yun Bi struck the gavel, and the members of the Fen Family knelt down. Before the beating or interrogation even started, they already confessed everything.
The first to confess was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fen Family.
"Your Honor, it was all under my mother-in-law’s orders. It was her, who, back in the day, did everything she could to marry Mrs. Xia into our family. She said Third Uncle had a cruel streak, and if he married a fierce woman, there could be trouble. He could only marry someone weak and incompetent who would be at the mercy of Third Uncle and our family to knead and flatten at will. And there’s more, my mother-in-law took Xun Cuihua’s silver to cover up for her, saying that Mrs. Xia was desperately seeking to marry Third Uncle. In fact, it was none of Mrs. Xia’s business at all!"
