Chapter 505 - 505-Disintegration
Chu Yuanshi watched the family fall apart from a distance.
Occasionally, she would say a few words of advice. It was not good to let others see that she was just watching a good show, although this was already very obvious to the Zhou Consortium.
However, there was no benefit for the Zhou Consortium to pull in the Chuyuan Consortium at this time.
She was about to be divorced.
The amazing thing was that she cried, made a fuss, and hung herself. She was even logical and reasonable.
It was Chu Dalang who was dissolute by nature and took a fancy to his widowed sister-in-law. The two of them hooked up, and when the servants saw it and spread it, they blamed it on her. On the other hand, Xiao Baoxin had a grudge against the Zhou family. He took the opportunity to cause trouble and exterminate them. Anyway, it was someone else’s fault. She, the Zhou family, was the victim.
What a victim!
The eldest son of the Chu family actually treated her like this. He was simply heartless.
At the end, if Chu Yuanshi didn’t know the whole story, she would have believed that the weeping Madam Zhou was really a victim, an innocent little lotus who had been schemed against.
He had some skill, and more than 90% shamelessness, distorting black and white.
Fortunately, Chu Yuanshi was there, and she forcefully brought the truth back to the right track.
Chu Yuanshi wasn’t the only one who was present. The Chu family had so many married daughters and the Chu family’s daughter-in-law were also present.
They could all be witnesses. After all, the rumors about Wang Qiang had spread so widely that even Madam Zhou had not expected it. She had unintentionally planted a willow tree to make a tree grow, and she had even covered up her heart.
Chu Yuanshi had the confidence because it was clear that she wasn’t weak at all.
Moreover, Chu Dalang knew what he was like. He had thoughts of Wang Shiwu’s mother, and he had indeed been slapped by her. This was a fact. However, there was really no such thing as hooking up. He had the intention, but she would not fulfill it.
He knew who had spread the news.
Chu Dalang was so disgusting. There were two more parts on his thighs, and he had a son on each side. He was already a ten-year-old boy, and he was so energetic that he could not move his legs.
There was also a five-year-old daughter who hugged Madam Zhou and cried. Her crying was even more miserable than when her father died.
So what if he had so many children?
Not only Chu Dalang, but even Tai Changqing was disgusted by the Zhou family’s actions.
Even if you want to destroy someone or deal with someone, can’t you do it in secret? Or can you let others know that you’re the one who’s suffering? If she insisted on making it public, she would not only embarrass the Zhou Corporation, but also the Chu family.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Zhou Consortium had two sons and one daughter, and for the sake of the three children, the Zhou Consortium would have been divorced.
However, Madam Zhou could be shameless. The three children of the Chu family’s eldest son, especially the two young men, could not be delayed. Once their biological mother was divorced, it would be difficult to talk about the marriage, and their career would also be affected in the future.
If the emperor was a moral cleanliness freak, then it was even more so. His birth mother must not have been virtuous enough to be divorced. What kind of good child could such a mother raise?
Of course, the premise of all this was that the Xie family did not exert their influence and let nature take its course.
Tai Changqing naturally did not want to see such an outcome. No matter how bad Madam Zhou was, the two children’s aptitude was still good. Although they were a little naughty, they were very smart in their studies. Naturally, he couldn’t let the eldest branch destroy their future because of the Zhou Consortium.
Anyway, it was not like there was no temple hall in the house. The mistress of the third branch burned incense and worshipped Buddha all day long, ignoring the world.
This was different from Madam Yuan’s way of worshipping Buddha. She was really like an ascetic monk. She would not socialize if she did not see anyone. It was as if she did not exist in the Chu family. Unlike Lady Yuan, who had only shown her face, Lady Xun had not come out to meet anyone for at least ten years. Other than those who had interacted with her in the past, many people had forgotten that she was in the third household. There were even some who thought that the third lady of the Chu family was dead.
In the end, the Zhou family ended up like Lady Xun.
However, one was willing, and the other was forced.
No matter how unwilling or hysterical Madam Zhou was, no one asked for her opinion. In the eyes of the Chu family, this was already the best outcome for her and the greatest gift.
The Chu family couldn’t afford to lose face. What should they do? Hide.
The unspoken rules of aristocratic families had always been to deal with abandoned wives or sinners who had scandals and were not suitable to be divorced.
Other than caring about what name Madam Zhou used to build the temple hall, she was just like a cat drawing a tiger. There were three wives in the family, Madam Xun, who made a sample. She built one for Madam Zhou in the eldest wife. The planning was naturally not as good as Madam Xun’s, and she was enough to keep her here.
In order to prevent Madam Zhou from affecting her two sons, Tai Changqing even sent four maids to watch over her and forbid anyone from entering or leaving. He said that he was cultivating Buddhism, but in fact, he was locked up and not allowed to see anyone.
Madam Chu had been busy repairing the temple hall since the morning. Madam Zhou did not believe it anyway. She cleaned up a room and borrowed a Buddha from Madam Xun. It was the temple hall of Madam Zhou. This was the same effect as burning corn leaves on a grave-one was to fool ghosts and the other was to fool people. It was more or less enough.
Madam Zhou of the eldest branch was considered crippled. Madam Wang vomited blood and fell into a coma that night. The eldest branch’s family was in a mess. They really could not take on the responsibility.
The second daughter-in-law of the eldest branch was the princess of the current dynasty. Emperor Epsilon’s third daughter was the princess of South County. Ever since she married into the Chu family, she had paid no attention to the outside world and only cared about her own life. Usually, there were people in charge who liked the Princess of South County the most. Not stirring up trouble was the greatest kindness to the Chu family.
However, now that something had happened, it was obvious. Not only did they not cause trouble, but they also did not take charge or cause trouble. It would be a dream if he wanted her to take care of the family. She pretended not to know that the eldest branch had caused a ruckus yesterday. Her intentions were clear.
The third branch had never been part of the Chu family’s plans.
Lady Chu Yuan stood out, so she was in charge of the food.
No matter how unwilling the eldest branch was, there was nothing they could do. They really could not pick anyone in the back of the house. There were still unmarried wives, but if they did not use the mistress of the second branch and used a little wife who could marry at any time, not to mention the outsiders laughing, the second branch could not do it.
Therefore, Chu Yuanshi got what she wanted, and after repeatedly declining, she accepted the good advice.
See, after doing good to Madam Zhou, he came to the Xie family.
Since she had put all the sh * t plates back on Madam Zhou’s head, what she meant was that the whole story had been resolved and the fault was with Madam Zhou. The Xie family, who had been ‘slandered and disgusted’ should be comforted.
At the very least, he had to show it to the Chu family.
Yes, the Xie family wanted to see it too.
Mrs. Chu was clear in her heart. Her sister might help her with other matters, but when it came to Xie Xian, Yuan San ‘er would not show any mercy.
During the few years when the Xie family was in trouble, she did not dare to get involved. Fortunately, she was also pregnant at that time and coincided with Yuan San ‘er’s date. She was not as ruthless as her maternal family, who wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Yuan San ‘er had always been clear about gratitude and resentment.
The other meaning of being clear about gratitude and resentment was that he was especially fond of holding grudges..
