Chapter 369: End together

Xia Zhuoqin got the news and came back angrily. He tore open his throat and shouted, ” What’s the matter? This has just stopped for a few days and you have got into trouble again?”

Zhou cried, “I’m just talkative and follow the trend to talk about Jinxuan, and I don’t know who are so wicked to put it on my head. Now my sister-in-law is adamant and will force you to divorce me …”

Xia Zhuoqin was now at the time to have a bright official career, and he was familiar with the official department and had some contacts. If such a scandal spread out, it would be destructive.Today, he heard in the official department that even minister of the Ministry of Rites was ordered by the emperor to go home and think about it. He was laughing at him then, but he didn’t expect it came to him so soon.

“Somebody else is wicked, I think you are the simpleton, how can you participate in this gossip? Do you forget that you are also from Xia’s family. What you have said is worth a hundred sentences from others. What eldest sister-in-law values most is marquis house’s reputation. Can she not be angry with you?”

Xia Zhuoqin’s mind was still clear. As a Xia’s family member, what Zhou had said was of great reliability. This was exactly what sister-in-law was angry about.

” Then you think what should I do now? Don’t you really want to leave me? I’m your person, even if I die. If you dare to divorce me, I will kill myself in front of you. ” Zhou threatened.

Chunwen knew that his mother was wrong, but the punishment was too severe. ” Father, you can’t divorce mother. If you do, not only your son will not be able to lift his head, and you will also lose your face. What about my sister’s marriage?”

Yulian looked at her eldest brother gratefully, it was he who really knew her mind.

Xia Zhuoqin said angrily: “Need you tell me this? But others have enough reasons and your mother has really done something wrong.”

” Isn’t it just to say a few gossips? Do I break the law? It’s no big deal that I make promise to her and say I’ll never do it again. Is she so cruel to force people to the impasse?” Zhou began to cry again with sobs.

“What are you crying for? Shut up for me. ” Xia Zhuoqin was very tired and shouted. He sat down and frowned.

Zhou hurriedly shut up, like an old hen suddenly pinched her neck, and looked at the master with hope. If the master protected her, it might still be redeemed.

Xia Zhuoqin was very upset, so he had to give his face to eldest brother and sister – in – law. Losing face in front of his family was better than losing outside. His future, his son’s future and his daughter’s future were the most important.

Xia Zhuoqin made up his mind and stared at Zhou in disgust: ” You have made a mistake yourself, and you should make amends to eldest brother and sister – in – law, whether kowtowing or kneeling in the ancestral hall. In short, you won’t pass this time without being seriously punished.”

Zhou nodded, ” I’ll make amends.”

As long as she could pass this threshold, she vowed that she would never fight the people there again in her life.

In Jing ‘an marquis house, You also called the marquis back, and the husband and the wife discussed the matter. The marquis firmly supported the idea of madam. Zhou was too unreasonable, and she was not worthy of being a Xia’s Family.

The husband and the wife were waiting for them, and soon after, Xia Zhuoqin and his wife came over.

As soon as they entered the door, Xia Zhuoqin shouted out: ” kneel down!”

Zhou’s swollen eyes were red and tearful, and she knelt down, but her fat, oily face could not make a touching appearance with tears.

” You yourself has done a good job, and you explain to eldest brother and sister-in-law today, if eldest brother and sister-in-law don’t forgive you, you will be driven away from Xia’s family.” Xia Zhuoqin said angrily, taking a firm attitude to show that he wouldn’t protect her faults.

You were very clear that these two were playing hard tricks. She would watch the drama coldly.

Zhou wiped her tears and sobbed, “Eldest brother and sister – in – law, I’m wrong. I really know I’m wrong. When I have heard the gossip, I should have stopped them and argued with them, but I’m afraid of offending people, so I have just said a few ambiguous words. Eldest brother and sister – in – law, please believe me, I definitely don’t mean to deliberately slander Jinxuan, let alone destroy Xia’s reputation. I know I’m wrong. If some people talk nonsense later, I … I will definitely go up and fight with them.”

You wanted to laugh when she was listening to Zhou. Zhou was really good at talking. After a few words, she picked out her responsibility. She was the main force behind the rumor storm and was a good dog beside Lin. Now she said she was just following the crowd and she did it for pleasure. She still pretended to try to fight against them.

” Zhou, these words, you can only cheat the third uncle. Today in front of the queen, several madams you discussed together revealed you out. Not only I but also the queen has heard what you have done clearly.” You said coldly.

Xia Zhuoqin changed his face, what? Wasn’t that what happened? Even the queen had known?

You saw his brother-in-law’s reaction and knew she had guessed right. Zhou must have evaded the bad result in front of him. Otherwise, could he help her to play? After all, he valued his official career most. The matter was big enough to have affected his reputation as an official, could he calm down?

” Why? Third brother-in-law doesn’t know? Today, the emperor disposed of a large number of officials, saying that they can’t even manage their own women. How can they be an official? Even King Yu doesn’t hesitate to give up his side concubine, and you should consider it carefully. ” You looked at him with a sneer.

” You idiot, what do you say? Don’t hesitate to speak out?” Xia Zhuoqin was nasty, let alone King Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites was a living example!

When Zhou saw that her husband’s attitude had changed greatly, she panicked and said, ” Really … I haven’t said anything. Those people deliberately frame me up.”

You sank a track: “Deliberately set you up? These people are questioned separately. What they say is the same as each other. Do you have enemies with them? Will they collude and unite to harm you? What qualifications and abilities do you have to let those ladies of imperial mandate to frame you? Zhou, you should put nonsense on some reasons as well, who do you think will believe this?”

Zhou knew she couldn’t hide it and kowtowed repeatedly. Now it was true, banging on the green tiles on the ground.

” I’m?confused for a while. I have lost my head. Madam, you have a lot of grace. Give me a chance this time and I won’t dare again. I swear, if I disrespect you again and say another word against Xia’s family, I won’t die well.”

Xia Zhuoqin had completely forgotten the measures they discussed before they came. He was full of thoughts about whether he would be affected. The storm was too big and Zhou’s actions were well known. If he didn’t give up, he was afraid of losing more.

The marquis, who had been silent, snorted: ” Some mistakes can be made, but others can not be made, young brother, this time she’s wrong too far. As for the divorce, you can do it by yourself, but I have to say in front of you. If you don’t divorce, you will have no relationship with Jing ‘an marquis house, whether you are honored or disrespectful, it has no relations with us, and from then on I will issue a statement to let everyone know that there is no relationship between you and me. If you divorce, then you will still be my brother of Xia Zhuofeng.”

Zhou’s face was pale. The marquis said easily, but the pressure was as heavy as a thousand catties. His attitude was clear and there was no room for discussion. Your husband and wife should move forward and backward together. Yes, he would never force, but his brother had no choice.

Before marquis house and her, Zhou had no doubt that her husband would choose marquis house

“Lord, you can’t! A day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of your life, and we have shared weal and woe for so many years. I have borne children for you and worked hard for your family. You can’t be so rude … ” Zhou knelt beside her husband, grabbed his robe and cried out.

Xia Zhuoqin’s face was like a black pot, and his steel teeth bit, and finally he was determined. ” How many times have I advised you, you always don’t listen to me, and now you deserve the blame. Who can you blame?”

Zhou burst into tears: “Don’t I do it all for you, for this family? Lin has said that as long as I do it, she will let King Yu promotes you to a higher position, and she will even care for Chunwen’s future career. As well as Liuli, yes, she has said that as long as Jinxuan was driven away, she will be in charge of marquis house. Then, the two families can really be close to each other. I have made a mistake, but how about Liuli? Is she right? She has instigated me. Why should I be divorced, but she is all right?”

Zhou angrily pointed to You: ” You hate me in your heart and take advantage of this opportunity to drive me out of Xia’s family. You have a vicious heart. You don’t deny … you want to treat me with family rules, do you? So you should treat your daughter-in-law first, then you treat me, otherwise, I refuse to obey … ”

On hearing this, You felt a sharp pain in her heart and his blood surged.

Liuli in front of the queen today was so adamant and so calm that she said she did not participate. She did not believe it, but she still kept a little dim sum thought to believe her. However, Zhou knocked her little hope to pieces.

Liuli, were you crazy?

The marquis also looked at You with consternation, seeing that You’s face turned white with anger. He knew that presumably Liuli had said these words.

When Zhou saw that the two persons were frightened by her, she became bolder, and even if she died, she would have to drag a cushion.

You took a deep breath, so they would have a final end today.

” Zhou, what you have said, can you dare to confront with Liuli face to face?” You sank a voice asked.

Zhou wiped away tears and stretched her neck. “Confrontation is confrontation. She harmed me first, and she couldn’t stay out of it.”

You exchanged glances with the marquis. The marquis lowered his head in grief. Liuli had kept going too far again and again. After all, it should be settled. Then they would make a decision together.

After receiving the marquis’s approval, You shouted, “Auntie Sun, send someone to invite the third lord and the third lady to come over immediately.”
