The Truth

  Is this the kind and trusting aunt? Is this the loving grandfather? When father's life was hanging by a thread, when mother fainted, all that was revealed was disdain and disgust. The only thing in his eyes was the huge dowry left behind?

  The old lady of the Zhao family was not to be trifled with, and she firmly demanded that the Xie family compensate her. Otherwise, not only would she drive away the cousin that Xie Wenjing had brought over, but she would also publicly denounce the Xie family in Yangzhou, making it impossible for them to hold their heads up high!

  The great aunt saw her dear granddaughter's plea and looked at her grandson, thinking that she should make some concessions.

  Xie Wenjing's assets, she is most clear about, Yangzhou's Shangyuan Street, although it is the most eye-catching asset under Xie Wenjing's name, but apart from Yangzhou, there are also huge assets in Hangzhou.

  Yangzhou's Shangyuan Street was given to her as a dowry, and she followed Xie Wenjing into the Zhao family. However, those huge assets in Hangzhou were secretly kept by her, telling Xie Wenjing that they were for her useless brother. No one knew about these assets except herself.

  Finally, the Xie family, in order to make up for the Zhao family, actually handed over the huge dowry that Xie Wenjing had brought with her, all of which were given to the Zhao family. The Zhao family agreed to promote Pei Yezhu as the legitimate wife.

  As for Xie Wenjing's body, the Zhao family was adamant that they did not want it and wanted to return it to the Xie family.

  Xie's grandfather didn't want such a daughter buried in their ancestral tomb, but instead wanted her buried in the public cemetery?

  In the end, Zhi Hua and Mei Lan took advantage of the night when no one was around, secretly carrying Xie Wenjing's body from the chaotic burial mound, and followed Xu Yin's sister Xu Cai to quietly bury Xie Wenjing and Xu Yin together in Xu Yin's ancestral tomb.

  After this incident, Yangzhou City was abuzz with rumors about Xie Wenjing's private affair with Xu Yin, the number one scholar. Everyone scolded Xie Wenjing as a licentious woman and Xu Yin as a degenerate among Confucian scholars.

  The imperial court soon stripped Xu Yin of his honors and official position. In his lifetime, Xu Yin was highly respected and a source of pride for the people of Yangzhou, but after his death he was viewed by all of Yangzhou as a shame to the city.

  Xie Wenjing's eyes gradually filled with hatred, originally her own death, she didn't hate anyone, even after knowing the ugliness of her aunt and grandfather, there was no intense resentment.

  But you shouldn't treat Xu Yin like this, he is so kind and brave to take responsibility, willing to sacrifice his young life for a small self, what's wrong with him? What's wrong with him? Do you want to slander him like this?

  Xie Wenjing's soul was involuntarily floating back and forth above the Zhao family's house, but couldn't find a way out.

  Xie Wenjing's aunt was now staring fiercely at Xie Wenjing's grandmother's memorial tablet in the Xie family ancestral hall.

  "Sister, you see? You've been strong all your life, but when you're dead and gone, I'll still be here to take care of your sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters."

  You should thank me, I will carefully send your grandchildren one by one to your side, so that you can also enjoy family happiness in the underworld.

  Don't worry, I won't take the lives of your two sons. One is half-dead and like a living corpse, while the other is alive but like a walking dead man. As their virtuous and magnanimous stepmother, I still have to take good care of them. Having such a good reputation depends on them!

  I must also thank your good granddaughter, who can make so much money. I'm really grateful to you! Have you seen her now? It's really unexpected that she not only knows how to make money but also knows how to gain fame.

  I originally thought that I could just raise her to be the number one shrew of Yangzhou and be content, but who would have thought that after she died, she even earned a good reputation as the number one wanton woman of Yangzhou? I feel sorry for her. If she had lived a few more years, she would have definitely earned tens or hundreds of thousands of taels more.

  "My good sister, when you see that foolish daughter of mine, thank her for me. Considering she left so much money behind, I won't let her father follow in death so easily! Hahaha!"

  Xie Wenjing stared foolishly at her always-trusted aunt, revealing such a ferocious face.

  All along, I thought that my paternal grandmother's younger sister, who was promoted by my grandfather after marriage, truly loved and cared for both her parents-in-law. It turns out that this aunt had been harboring evil intentions all along, silently poisoning the two families left behind by my grandmother.

  "You dare to fight me? What qualifications do you have to fight me now? After I've tormented you to death, I can deal with your sons and grandsons however I want, and humiliate your two granddaughters however I please."

  Are you thinking of getting up from down there? Haha! If you have the heart, is it as painful as a rupture?

  Two granddaughters, one was married to my mentally ill son who was a Tongpan and was tortured to death, the other was incited by me to do business and became the first shrew of Yangzhou, died as the first wanton woman of Yangzhou.

  Your two grandsons, one of whom I slightly manipulated into dying in shame and the other who is now a notorious playboy in all of Yangzhou, will one day be thoroughly ruined by me, with her dying at the hands of a woman's schemes, and him going down to see you.

  "You see, I'm still good to you, right? Let all your grandsons and granddaughters come visit you one by one, haha!"

  Xie Wenjing's aunt has been feeling particularly pleased these days, although Xie Wenjing died a bit early and lost a few years of income, but in her heart she is still pleased. This closest sister's sons and daughters one by one died, yet their deaths did not affect her virtuous reputation at all, it's really pleasing.

  And these delightful things, she most wanted to tell her own elder sister, to heavily strike her. Thus, Xie Wenjing's aunt was just in front of her elder sister's memorial tablet, one by one recounting her proud works.

  Xie Wenjing floated foolishly in front of her aunt, listening to her recount the truth of the matter one by one.

  The root cause of her infertility was actually the medicine given to her by her trusted aunt, which was also handed to her by her weak and timid cousin.

  It turned out that his younger brother's spoiled nature was actually a result of their aunt's intentional pampering?

  What the old man meant by being bedridden for years was not a serious illness, but rather a weakness caused by taking expensive medicine in collusion with Aunt Xue and Dr. Jia of Hui Chun Tang.

  The concubine named Liu Lingling beside Father was a chess piece arranged by Auntie to ensure that Father remained ill.

  Was it really Auntie's deliberate design that led to the death of San Shu's son, Xie Wenfeng?

  There is also the daughter of Third Uncle, Xie Wenting, who married the second son of the Tongpan of Yangzhou. It was not a high match, but rather the aunt's mother plotting against Wenting until her death?

  Even to this day, through her aunt's own account, Xie Wenjing only came to know that this kind and gentle aunt had been jealous of her own mother's status as the eldest daughter since she was a child, and as the younger sister of her grandmother, she had always harbored resentment.

  Not willing to lower her status as a grandmother, she hooked up with her grandfather before her grandmother married him, forcing her maternal family to hide the shame and give her aunt (grandmother's sister) to her grandfather as a concubine.

  The grandmother resented the grandfather for his disrespect towards her, and even more so resented the aunt-grandmother's shameless act of snatching away her own fiancé. As a result, although both the grandmother and the aunt-grandmother married the same grandfather, they secretly struggled against each other all along.

  Although grandmother was the legitimate wife, she did not have the gentle and weak demeanor of a concubine to win grandfather's heart. During her lifetime, she extremely hated concubines, so she didn't allow her two sons, Father and Third Uncle, to take concubines, precisely because she didn't want her daughters-in-law to live in melancholy like herself.

  The grandmother has been dead for many years, but the aunt still won't let go of the grandmother's sons and grandsons, one by one framing them, harming the grandmother's descendants, ruining their reputation, dying unjustly, without affecting the aunt's good reputation at all.

  Xie Wenjing was about to go crazy, wanting to pounce on and tear apart the hypocritical aunt in front of her, wanting to rip her flesh off piece by piece!
