Chapter 70 Anger and heart attack
The word "divorce" was naturally what Chen Zhi wanted to hear.
He immediately signaled Xinyue to leave first, and he stayed to continue "comforting" her.
But Chen Huaiqian was already deeply shocked today as he watched his beloved concubine commit suicide in the fire with tears in her eyes, and before her death she complained to him and asked him to redeem her grievances, and made an appointment to continue their relationship in the next life.
Now he was too angry, and the qi and blood attacked his heart. He couldn't hold on and fainted.
To be honest, Chen Zhi really wanted to hold his father's hand, write a divorce letter immediately, send it to Wanshuangzhai, and drive Feng out.
But this is of course not feasible, so he could only ask someone to ask a doctor to come and see how the patient is doing.
The news of Chen Huaiqian's fainting quickly spread throughout the mansion.
Except for the culprit Feng, and the fourth brother Chen Jin who was not in Qizhou, everyone else naturally rushed over immediately.
"Dad, what happened? Third brother, weren't you there to talk? Why did you suddenly faint?" Chen Jin looked unhappy.
What he said was also unpleasant to the ear, as if Chen Huaiqian's fainting was caused by Chen Zhi.
Li Mingzhu was more sober than him and knew some of the situation, so she immediately pulled Chen Jin aside and spoke to Chen Zhi with a worried look on her face.
"Third brother, how is Dad? What did the doctor say?"
"It's just a result of impatience. It's not a big problem. Just take care of yourself for a while." Chen Zhi replied, and then glanced at Chen Jin, "Second brother, don't you know about the other courtyard?"
Chen Jin frowned, looking impatient, "What other courtyard?"
He drank some wine at Liang's house today and fell asleep as soon as he came back. He was woken up by Li Mingzhu when he heard that Chen Huaiqian had fainted, so he knew nothing.
Li Mingzhu was afraid that her husband might say something wrong, so she hurriedly explained in a low voice.
After hearing this, Chen Jin's face turned grim.
Feng was his biological mother, so he naturally sided with her. But now it was Feng who did the evil, and the truth was revealed. Even if he wanted to speak up to defend her, he knew it wouldn't work. So, for a moment, he was like an eggplant hit by frost, and he became speechless.
"Brother and sister-in-law, Dad is sick now, so it's useless for us to say these things. Let's wait until Dad wakes up before discussing the elders' affairs." Xu Shuhe spoke softly, "I think we should go back first and send someone to guard here. We will come back after Dad wakes up."
"This is the only way now." Li Mingzhu nodded.
We can't just stand here and wait.
Ju Rui Tang.
After Chen Jin and Li Mingzhu returned home, they remained silent.
One is annoyed, and the other is not knowing what to do right now.
After a while, it was Li Mingzhu who spoke first, "Qiaoyue and Qiaoxing, the two of you should go out and find out what happened to your father-in-law that made him so angry."
Previously, because Feng had gotten into trouble, Li Mingzhu was afraid of being implicated, so after finding out the reason why Feng was locked up, she did not dare to show up again.
Now I have to know more about the situation.
The two maids responded and left, and then Chen Jin spoke irritably.
"Why do you care about Dad? You should think about how to rescue Mom. It's only been a few days, and she's under house arrest. She even brought Mother Qiu to me. The third daughter-in-law is a troublemaker. Before she married into the family, there were never so many troubles in the mansion!"
"Think of a solution, how can I think of a solution? Mother-in-law has run into Dad this time, and she has been caught red-handed!" Li Mingzhu lost her good temper. She had endured Chen Jin for a while, and now she exploded, "Dad is determined to marry Miss Guo. Mom did this and killed her, and Dad found out. How can Dad not be angry? Let me ask you, if I beat your good Qianwen to death now, are you angry with me?!" Chen Jin shrank back when she yelled, and his momentum softened again. He muttered, "What about Dad and Mom? Why are you talking about my affairs?"
"I'm too lazy to mention it." Li Mingzhu snorted.
Thinking about what happened today at the Liang Mansion, when she heard that Chen Yurong was pregnant again, she was so envious.
It turned out that she had never had a second child. She felt a little more balanced in her heart because she thought that her aunt Chen Yurong had been married longer than her and had not conceived a second child. But now she was the only one left.
This feeling was so bad that Li Mingzhu herself even doubted whether there was something wrong with her body.
If Qianwen can get pregnant, why can't she?
The more Li Mingzhu thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Coupled with all the inexplicable things that happened today, Li Mingzhu was about to explode.
Seeing that Li Mingzhu looked unhappy, Chen Jin didn't dare to say anything.
He was also afraid, because his wife was his money bag and he couldn't offend her.
The couple sat there quietly for a long time, and finally waited for the two maids who came to inquire about the news to come back.
After hearing the two people's reports, Li Mingzhu was really heartbroken on the spot.
"You said that the mother-in-law thought that the third brother's wife was pregnant and secretly gave her an abortion drug?"
"Yes, he was discovered. It just so happened that the man was caught today." Qiao Xing didn't know what to say.
Li Mingzhu took a few deep breaths to stop herself from swearing, and said, "What is going on?"
"You must have heard it right, this this?" Chen Jin was speechless.
Qiao Xing shook her head, "That's right, the kitchen helper Wang Ren has been dealt with now."
"Oh my, oh my!" Chen Jin stamped his feet. "Mother, no matter how much you hate the third son's wife, you can't do such a thing. And we got caught. Unfortunately, Xu wasn't pregnant at all!"
Li Mingzhu also raised her hand to support her forehead and clenched her teeth, "Qiaoyue, what did you find out over there?"
"I heard from the servants serving near the master's study that before the master fainted, he was so angry that he shouted in the study that he wanted to divorce his wife." Qiao Yue's voice became smaller and smaller.
But the word "divorce" still sounded like thunder to Li Mingzhu and Chen Jin's ears.
Chen Jin became anxious at the time and quickly turned around and grabbed Li Mingzhu's hand.
"My dear, you are always smart and have ideas. You should think of a solution quickly. You must not let Dad divorce you!"
"What can I do? Will my father-in-law listen to me?" Li Mingzhu pushed him away in annoyance, but after a moment of silence, she continued, "My father-in-law must have been angry for a moment. It's not that easy to divorce a wife. After all, my mother-in-law has been with my father-in-law for more than 20 years and gave birth to you and my fourth brother. It's not good to divorce her at such an old age. My father has always valued his reputation. When his anger subsides, he won't mention this again."
Hearing this, Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke again, "So what should we do now?"
"Father-in-law is angry with mother-in-law, so he can't help but vent his anger on you and me. Father-in-law has been unwell these past few days, so you should put away those frivolous thoughts and stop going out to fool around. Just stay at home and serve father-in-law, and be careful and diligent." Li Mingzhu said in a deep voice, and then instructed, "Qiaoyue, go get some paper and pen. I want to write a letter to the capital to tell my fourth brother about what's going on at home."
Chen Jin was puzzled. "How can the fourth brother help? He is a nerd and he is far away in the capital."
"What do you know? My father-in-law loves and values my fourth brother the most. My fourth brother is very ambitious and studies hard. He will pass the imperial examinations in the future. He will be the support of our entire family. My father-in-law will give face to my fourth brother, and he will listen to him more." Li Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her husband.
I didn't bother to say anything more and immediately prepared to ask my brother-in-law Chen Xun for help.
