Chapter 259: Isn't it just a big joke
The old marquis defended himself.
Seeing this, the old lady knew it was her turn to take action.
We can't let our daughter-in-law and grandson fight all the battles.
If she wants to leave the Marquis' Mansion, she should also contribute.
So she stood up, looked at the old marquis and said, "You are still trying to make excuses now. You are still as shameless as ever."
She looked at the governor of Kyoto and said, "Sir, he is indeed the murderer with the greatest motive to set the fire."
"Except for the day when his niece's granddaughter was one month old, he got drunk and asked me to take him to the study."
"Then I saw with my own eyes that he took out the portrait of the woman in the brocade box, hugged her and kissed her, and said that the child looked like her."
"Except that I discovered her affair with that woman."
"Because I caught him several times, he and his niece-in-law sent the waiters away to spend time alone."
The kiss while hugging the painting and the thing that was discovered was added by her grandson.
The old marquis didn't expect this woman to make up such a thing, "Don't spit blood on me, it's not true."
The old lady ignored him and continued, "Before, I ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the yard and didn't go out because I was afraid that he would harm me. This way, he wouldn't be afraid that I would go out and say something nonsense."
"But recently, because his affair with Shui Qiulan was publicized, he couldn't help but suspect that I was the one who did it."
"Especially when my grandson comes back, he comes to my yard to keep me company."
"He was worried that I would tell these secrets to my grandson, so he hired someone to set fire to us."
"In this way, the dirty and disgusting things between him, Shui Qiulan, and Shui Qiulan's mother can continue to be covered up and hidden."
She sighed, "No matter how he used me as an excuse to gain a reputation for loving his wife, he was actually very cold to me."
"Or take my son away and not let me raise him or have too much contact with him."
"I discovered his secret, but I endured it for the sake of his reputation and the Marquis' Mansion."
"But he should never have attacked me and my grandson."
"Today I can no longer tolerate this and have decided to stand up and expose their dirty secrets."
"I don't want to stay in that filthy mansion anymore."
She took out a divorce letter from her sleeve, which had been written long ago.
He walked up to the old marquis step by step and looked down at him.
With disgust in his eyes, he said, "We have no feelings for each other. You have been hurting me all these years, and now you want to kill me."
"In that case, please keep this letter of divorce."
"Today, I will divorce you, the shameless old man, in front of everyone."
"Whether you want to look for Shui Qiulan's mother or continue your affair with Shui Qiulan secretly, it has nothing to do with me."
She said decisively: "From now on, we will go our separate ways and have no further relationship."
The old marquis was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "You, you dare!"
He really didn't expect that he would be stabbed so badly by this woman whom he had never taken seriously.
No wonder the brocade box was in Wei Fenghua's hands. It must have been this woman who told her.
What made him even more angry was that this woman not only threw dirty water on him in public, but also ruined their reputation.
She even had the audacity to say that she wanted to divorce him.
“Who gave you the confidence and courage?”
"I disagree."
If anyone wanted to divorce, he should have done it, this woman was so bold.
Wei Fenghua interrupted, "The Queen Mother gave my mother the confidence and courage. Is that enough?"
"Today, I will make the decision for my mother and ask her to divorce you."
"I will go to the palace in a moment and ask the Queen Mother for an imperial decree to divorce you."
"Old Marquis, do you think this divorce letter can divorce you?"
"Just like Jiang Ji'an, whether you accept it or not will not change the outcome of divorcing your husband."
"You have always wanted to bring honor to your family and let everyone know about Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
"Now that you have become the first father and son to be divorced in the capital, the reputation of your Wu'an Marquis Mansion can indeed spread throughout the Great Yin Dynasty."
He also sarcastically said, "The love triangle between you, your father, your son, and the second wife."
"No, with Shui Qiulan's mother included, your love quadrangle will also be known to everyone."
"Your Jiang family's ancestors will watch over you."
The old marquis was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, "You, you are talking nonsense, I, we didn't do it."
What bad luck their family had to have married such an evil woman.
Not only did she divorce her husband herself, but she also instigated her mother-in-law to divorce her husband. How shameless.
Wei Fenghua pointed at the portraits and letters and said, "These are all evidence."
"Do you dare to say that these paintings were not drawn by you and these letters were not written by that old woman?"
The old marquis choked, "We don't have it."
Wei Fenghua raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. We can find someone to check your handwriting and hers."
The old marquis's expression changed, and he even looked a little depressed.
He knew these secrets and could no longer hide them.
If we check the handwriting, they won't be able to escape.
He thought about it and admitted directly, "I have been fond of her for many years, but she has no feelings for me."
"He has kept his distance from me all these years."
"I was the one who insisted on writing the letter."
"It was also my idea to let Ji An marry Shui Qiulan."
"Because I want to make up for my past regrets and want my son to do it for me."
"I do favor the second wife, but it's not because of any romantic feelings between a man and a woman, but because she is the daughter of the woman I love."
"So I loved her like my own daughter."
"There is no personal relationship, and we are innocent."
Now that all these things have been exposed, he just wants to reduce the impact on the reputation of Shui Qiulan and her daughter.
So I took everything on myself.
Wei Fenghua raised her hands and clapped, "The old marquis is really affectionate!"
"Even now, I still have to protect the reputation of mother and daughter and bear the responsibility myself."
"But you don't even believe these words, right?"
"And the more you maintain it like this, the dirtier you are."
"You and that old woman have no affair, and you have kept in touch through letters for so many years?"
"You and Shui Qiulan don't have a private relationship, so why do you often spend time together secretly without Jiang Ji'an's knowledge?"
"Which uncle and niece-in-law don't need to avoid suspicion when they get along? But you even sent away the maids and waiters."
"Isn't this Qiulan Leiqing? Because she looks like him, she can't get a biological mother, but it's the same if she gets a daughter."
"If there is no trick, how come the two sons of the second wife look so much like you?"
"You love your niece even more deeply, giving her whatever she wants."
She asked the onlookers: "Does everyone think this is normal?"
Everyone started talking, “Of course it’s not normal.”
"We are not fools. We believe whatever he says."
"I have seen the Second Madam. She is somewhat similar to the person in this portrait."
"The old marquis obviously regards the second wife as her mother."
"I see. No wonder she favors the second wife so much. It turns out that this is the relationship between mother and daughter."
"This is truly a huge scandal in the family of the nobles. It brings shame to our noble family."
"That mother and daughter are so shameless that they actually did something so immoral."
"Not only was Wu'an Hou arranged by his own father to marry the daughter of his beloved, but he was also cuckolded by his own father. He is the most wronged person in the capital!"
"No wonder the princess and the old lady want to divorce her husband and leave. Who can stand such a disgusting mansion?"
"Marquis Wu'an is truly a filial son. He can endure this."
Besides scolding the old marquis and Shui Qiulan and her daughter, everyone either sympathized with Marquis Wu'an or laughed at his joke.
Jiang Ji'an was completely stunned at this time.
He really didn't know about these things, and he used to believe what his father said about inheriting both houses to compensate his younger brother.
He became more and more partial to the second wife, which was also influenced a lot by his father.
Now I realize that it was all a scam.
He was just a tool used by his father as a shield to please the old woman he loved.
He also lost the woman he loved most.
It's just a huge joke.
