852, the mother of the unjust death of the son twenty-two
If the evidence is conclusive, Mrs. Chen will definitely go to jail based on her current crime.
The people in prison don't care about the prisoner's life or death. If she is splashed with water and catches a cold, she will not get medicine. At that time, even if the adults do not sentence her to death, she will only die.
Mrs. Chen didn't expect so much for the time being, but she subconsciously felt that she would be in trouble if she got sick. Therefore, she didn't dare to faint and held it back.
The piece of paper Chu Yunli took out and Yao's confession were enough to prove that Mrs. Chen, as the adopted daughter of the Yuan family, repaid kindness with hatred and raised the children of the Yuan family as their adopted daughters. The Yuan family was kind to her by raising her, and she
Raising the daughter of the Yuan family was an act of repayment, but not only did she fail to repay her kindness, she misappropriated the Yuan family's wealth first and treated the Yuan family girls harshly, and she shamelessly regarded herself as a benefactor.
Mrs. Chen made a big mistake in this matter, both from a legal and ethical perspective. She had previously tried to send Chen Wanhua to the countryside to suffer a life of misery. With all the personal and material evidence available, your Excellency gave her a heavy sentence on the spot and sentenced her to thirty years in prison.
In addition, all the family property of the Yuan family and the profits of the Yuan family's shop over the years will be returned. Later, a special accounting office will be sent to the Yuan family to check the accounts, and no fraud will be allowed.
Mrs. Chen is already thirty-seven this year. If she has been in prison for thirty years, will she be able to survive until then?
After hearing the verdict, Mrs. Chen fainted immediately.
Although Mr. Chen was invited over, he didn't ask him a few words. At this time, he said: "Such a vicious woman is not worthy of being my Chen family's wife. Today I will write a letter of divorce and sever ties with her."
Your Excellency did not care about this matter, and had people bring in the records of these years, and change all the deeds that Mrs. Chen had changed back then to Yuan Wanhua's name. Furthermore, Your Majesty made the decision to change all the dowries that Mrs. Chen had received from the Yuan family when she got married.
Gave it back to Yuan Wanhua.
The Yamen re-registered the records, and all previous deeds under Mrs. Chen's name were invalidated.
In other words, even if the papers are still in the Chen family, and even some of them have been changed to Master Chen's name, those things no longer belong to the Chen family, but to Yuan Wanhua today.
Yuan Wanhua took the newly released stack of deeds and immediately divided out 30% and presented it to the superior: "Back then, my mother gave me 30% of the reward and asked my aunt to raise me. But she let me die, and now she gives me a new life.
It’s your Excellency and the court who are responsible for it. The women are willing to donate 30% of their remuneration to the people, and it is up to you to make the decision.”
The adults above did not expect such a good thing to happen, and he was overjoyed: "If you think about it more, if it were filed, these things would have been returned to the county government's warehouse and would not be returned."
Yuan Wanhua kowtowed again: "The daughter of the people is truly grateful and has made up her mind!"
Your Excellency was overjoyed and ordered people to send the unconscious Mrs. Chen to the prison. Then he personally sent the Zhou family out: "Miss Yuan is a great kindness. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people in the city."
Mr. Chen had already left in despair.
Such a big thing happened to the Chen family, and he had to go back to take care of it. Besides, he also had to pay a lot of money to the Zhou family.
Here, the Zhou family said goodbye to the adults and returned to the restaurant first. Yuan Wanhua took the deeds and said, "Mom, let someone take over these shops first."
Chu Yunli didn't answer: "You are out of confinement, and there are people watching over the baby. You go and pick it up yourself. If you want to do any business, you can try it."
Yuan Wanhua sighed: "When I was at the Chen family before, I always felt that she was a little bit targeted at me. It seemed that among the three adopted daughters, she particularly hated me. At that time, I didn't know the reason. I just thought that our mother and daughter didn't have enough affection. I didn't expect that.
There is something so deep here.”
Mrs. Chen probably knew that she was not good at business, and she had no close relatives. Most of the shops under her name were rented out to collect rent. It was easy to take over, just let those people send the rent to Yuan Wanhua. As for the one opposite
Xiangmanlou is profitable anyway and is still open. Except for the change of owner, everything is as usual.
The troublesome thing is about asking the Chen family to compensate!
The combined annual profits of Yuan's shop and Zhuangzi were several hundred taels, and all of this money was given to Mrs. Chen. At that time, she did not think that her adopted daughter's identity would be exposed, and she only regarded all these things as her own.
Therefore, flowers are very generous to use.
Let’s not talk about Mr. Chen’s mischief these years. When Mr. Chen married his wife, the betrothal gift was worth dozens of dollars, all of which was purchased with this money.
At that time, the flowers were spent. Who would have thought that one day the money would be raised and given back to others?
Because of Yuan Wanhua's donation of the shop, the Yamen checked the accounts very carefully, and it was finalized half a month later.
Chen Jialong had to pay Yuan Wanhua a total of sixteen years of profit, excluding any fraction, which amounted to five thousand taels!
Naturally, the Chen family did not have so much cash. The total amount was only three thousand taels, leaving a shortfall of two thousand taels. The Yamen kept a close eye on them and would not pay them back. Mr. Chen had no choice but to sell his house and shop and return the money.
He also took away all of his son's private property, and ordered the two married girls to return their dowries. He also pawned Li Xiangyu's dowry.
Among them, those boxes of books were the most expensive, worth three hundred taels of silver.
The Chen family was spending their money in advance. When he collected five thousand taels, the house and shop were gone, all the servants were sold, and everyone in the Chen family was gone, leaving only a few valuables.
Wearing clothes to change into laundry, a few people stood outside the gate of Chen's house, not knowing where to go for a while.
Or was it Mrs. Lin who suggested: "I have a dowry villager in the suburbs. Why don't you go there first?"
No one had any objections.
It doesn't work, they have nowhere to go.
However, these pampered people didn't know how to go. They used to have carriages when they came in and out, but now the carriages were sold together with the house... they could only rent carriages.
Speaking of renting a carriage, it’s not unheard of. I used a rented carriage to send Chen Wanhua and Li Xiangyu back to the countryside. At that time, the Chen family was very wealthy and gave them more silver rewards than their own rent. Now that I think about it, I can’t wait to take a picture.
At that time, I slapped myself.
Mrs. Lin asked the maid to find the carriage. At this time, she no longer cared about being reserved. The Chen family and his son sat outside, while she, Li Xiangyu and the maid sat inside.
Li Xiangyu looked confused.
She couldn't understand why things turned out like this?
It was obvious that she was still the daughter of the Chen family a few days ago. Although her status as a concubine was criticized, the daughter of the Chen family was precious, otherwise the Chang family would not come to ask for marriage again.
Thinking of the Chang family, Li Xiangyu felt uneasy and tentatively asked Mrs. Lin opposite, who was holding her child: "Sister-in-law, will there be any changes in the Chang family's marriage?"
Mr. Lin was in a daze, and when he heard the words, he came back to his senses and shook his head.
It is said that a good horse never turns back to let it go. If the Chang family was a discerning family, they would not go back to propose marriage to the Chen family. The reason for proposing marriage was just because they wanted to support each other in the future because of the wealth of the Chen family.
Today's Chen family... is worse than a rural farmer.
After all, farmers have houses and land, but now the Chen family has nothing but people.
The carriage left the city and went around the path to Zhuangzi. The journey was so bumpy that I couldn't think of anything.
Fortunately, Zhuangzi was not far away. Two-quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside a farm.
The Chen family didn't care about being picky at the moment and walked in honestly.
Zhuangzi is indeed not as well-off as the mansion, because it is not far from the city. Lin has never come to live here, so there is nothing here for nobles.
The quilt is made of coarse cloth, the tea is made of coarse tea, and the tea bowl is also a rough earthenware bowl. Everyone who was in the brightly lit room in the morning is not used to such a dark and simple room.
Li Xiangyu was used to it, and she had something on her mind, so she didn't care about it.
If the Chang family had not broken off the engagement, she would have been able to live a good life for the rest of her life. But her dowry had already been pawned, so even if the marriage remained the same, what would she be able to marry off?
As for the Chen family, the only one who can still produce something is Lin.
The reason why Mrs. Chen spent so much on betrothal gifts back then was because the Lin family was considered one of the most prestigious families in the city.
Because of the large betrothal gifts, Lin's dowry was large. This time, Mr. Chen pawned the family property to raise money and did not touch his daughter-in-law's dowry.
First, it would be really unpleasant to spread the news. Secondly, the Lin family is now the Chen family’s last resort and cannot be offended. After all, the Lin family has children. The Lin family doesn’t want to take care of the Chen family, but they have to take care of their grandsons, right? After taking care of their grandsons, they have to take care of their son-in-law, right?
As long as the son is taken care of, the Chen family will have hope.
After a day of running around, everyone was very tired. When he got up the next morning, Mr. Chen wanted to discuss with his daughter-in-law, but found that she had already left.
Not only her, but also her grandson and all the maids around her were absent.
Mr. Chen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and hurriedly pushed his son to wake up: "Where is Maocai?"
Master Chen woke up in a daze and said, "I don't know."
He really didn't know that when he slept in the Chen Mansion before, the couple slept on the bed and the child slept on the small bed next to him. When he got here last night, there was no small bed yet. The child was probably not used to it, and he cried all night.
Master Chen also knew that he had to coax his wife and patiently got up to coax the children.
But the child wouldn't sleep, and he was so sleepy that he gradually became impatient. He endured it and tried his best not to let his wife see his impatience. Fortunately, it didn't take long before she took the initiative to comfort the child. At that time, he thought
I squinted for a while and switched to her, but ended up... squinting until now.
Master Chen slapped him on the face: "Are you still sleeping? My daughter-in-law and children are gone."
Master Chen woke up with a start, turned over and sat up: "No way?" As he said this, he reached for his clothes and put them on, put them on and ran out: "Maomao? Maomao?"
The whole Zhuangzi even went to that place, but they were surprised not to find the mother and son.
The father and son squatted on the ground and looked at each other.
Mr. Chen kicked his son on the butt: "Why did you offend her?"
