Chen Afu smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Chen Yulan's forehead, and said, "That's not the case. The icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it is difficult to see the truth in the tribulation......"

Chen Yulan sat for a while and then offered to leave. Chen Afu didn't stay, he had to go back to help receive guests.

Chen Afu later regretted extremely much that she didn't go to Chen's Mansion today and didn't see the scene that excited her.

Chen Yulan returned home and saw that the front yard was empty, and there were no guests.

The subordinate whispered that a few clan elders had come to his hometown, saying that they had come to leave the wife. The guests were gone, and the lord accompanied them to discuss matters in the outer study.

When Chen Yulan heard this, her face was not obvious, but she was a little happy in her heart. He felt that it was not good for him to have this kind of emotion, and it was unfilial, but he just couldn't help but be happy.

At the end of last year, Chen Shiying came to his hometown because of Zhao's accident. I heard that the Zhao family had done so many evil things, and it also hindered Chen Shiying's future, and even Chen's father's death was related to her. Chen Laozu was furious, Chen Shiying was the glory of their clan, how could the Zhao family hurt her. At that time, he wanted to take his clansmen to Dingzhou Mansion to represent the family's wife.

However, the patriarch Uncle Chen thought about it more, saying that he didn't know if Chen Shiying had done anything other illegal in private, and he didn't know how big his crime was. If it is so big that it will implicate the clansmen, don't be strong.

Later, Chen Shiying's things gradually spread to Hu'an Province, and they became more specific and well-known. Chen Shiying didn't do anything illegal, it was all done by the evil woman of the Zhao family, Chen Shiying's supervision was unfavorable, and he wanted to take trouble for his mother......

This made the Chen clan, who had always been proud of Chen Shiying, ashamed, and the Chen family girl, who had always been in demand, was suddenly unwilling to marry, saying that the Chen family was not virtuous.

At the beginning of March, Chen Laozu brought the patriarch Chen Laobo and several highly respected clansmen, as well as one of his great-grandsons, to Dingzhou Mansion. They rode in an ox cart for three days and a big boat for seven days, and arrived in Dingzhou Mansion in mid-March. A few old men were still full of brains, and they did not go to Chen's mansion, but stayed in the inn.

This morning, Chen Shiying returned to Dingzhou Mansion, and the news that he was still the prefect of Dingzhou spread all of a sudden, and it also spread to the inn, and several old men came to Chen's Mansion with him.

At that time, Chen Shiying was greeting the guests with a spring breeze on his face, and saw several old men come to the house with unkind faces. He knew that they were not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Ancestor, uncle, several uncles, if you come as guests, I welcome you." If you do anything else, can you wait until the guests are gone?"

Chen Laozu waved his hand and said loudly, "Why wait for the guests to leave? The scandal of your family has already spread all over the world, and we don't even say that people know about it." We are here to help you, and you can't bear to deal with that wicked woman, so we'll help you. He sat down on the chair that his great-grandson had brought him, and continued, "Shiying boy, although you are an official, you are also a member of my Chen clan. Your dead father, I watched him grow up from a bare-chested doll and read well. It's a pity that his father and mother died early, and we can't bear to let him be a good seedling of studying, because he has no parents to support him and interrupt his studies. From nine o'clock onwards, he was provided by the tribe, not only for him to be fed and clothed, but also to study. He also competed for luck, showed talent in the middle, and lifted people, but unfortunately he didn't get into the spring of Beijing, and fell ill on the way back, but he married the evil woman of the Zhao family, so that he died at a young age...... Shiying boy, you are a good boy, the glory of our Chen clan, but you are too soft-hearted and a woman's kindness, so that you indulge the wicked woman. You can't be ruthless, we will help you, you can't let that evil woman harm the reputation and family style of my Chen family. ”

He bowed his hand to the lively guests and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard of the Zhao family's evil deeds. We are here today to represent the deceased father of the Shiying boy, and I ask you to testify. ”

The guests saw Chen Shiying's face flushed, and of course they wouldn't stay here as an eyesore. They know Chen Shiying, but they don't know any Chen family elders. They all got up and took their leave.

Someone else persuaded Chen Laozu, "Old man, if you have something to say, don't be angry." Mr. Chen has been adjudicating cases for more than ten years, and he is the most clear about right and wrong. ”

Chen Shiying had to blush and clench his fists and say to the departing guests, "Chen is ashamed, and he will definitely invite guests to accompany him another day." ”

Chu Lingxuan was also there. He didn't leave, not only because he was a son-in-law and wanted to help Chen Shiying deal with affairs, but also because he wanted to see the ending of the old lady, so that he could go back and explain it to his little daughter-in-law.

Seeing that the guests were all gone, Chen Shiying invited the clan elders to go to the outer study. After the next person served tea, he got up and said to the elders, "Ancestor, my mother did something wrong, but she gave my father a funeral and raised me as an adult." These two points alone cannot dismiss her. ”

Chen Laozu snorted coldly and said, "I want to leave my wife today, not only because that evil woman has done bad things, which has affected your future, and it has affected the Chen family's daughter-in-law's difficulty in finding her mother-in-law's family, but also because he killed her husband." ”

Chen Shiying said, "Ancestor, this is not nonsense. If my mother kills my father, the government will arrest her. ”

Chen Laozu snorted coldly, "I didn't talk nonsense, you have a clear heart." Then, he gave Patriarch Chen a look.

Patriarch Chen cleared his throat and read out a few reasons for becoming a wife.

First, the Zhao family indirectly killed her husband. When Chen's father was seriously ill, a senior monk pointed out that he found Wang's door and Chongxi to be a child daughter-in-law, but Zhao's yang and yin did not give Wang's class, did not treat her as a daughter-in-law, and also had the calculation of driving her away, so as to offend the gods and make Chen's father, who was already well, worse his condition until he died.

The second is unvirtuous and unkind. As soon as the son was moved, he privately drove away Wang, the daughter-in-law who was Chen's father Chongxi and wore linen and filial piety, and instigated others to sell her to the mountains.

The third is greed, disregard for the law. accepted huge bribes in the name of his son many times, and connived at the Zhao clan to seek money and hinder his son's future.

Fourth, selfishness and viciousness. In order to cover up the evil deeds he committed, he instigated others to sell his own granddaughters.

Chen Laozu also said that only because the Zhao family killed her husband, the sentence to her wife was all for the sake of Chen Shiying's good face, otherwise she must be sentenced to sink into the pond. If Chen Shiying dared to put up the official spectrum to oppress them and not abandon the Zhao family, he would lead the clansmen to ask the parents and officials in his hometown to be the masters. Anyway, Chen's father and Zhao's household registration are both in Hu'an Province, and the parents there will directly sentence the women......

Chen Shiying knew that if this matter was not handled well, not only would he be embarrassed and thrown to his hometown again, but his mother might really be divorced. Although he was also angry that his mother had done so many evil things, he couldn't bear to be divorced at such an old age.

He was irrefutable with the last few reasons for leaving a wife, but the first one could never be recognized. If he admits it, his mother will definitely be divorced.
