Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chapter 193: Confiscated and Exiled, No Way to Escape

"Then what are you talking about?" The eldest daughter-in-law was also unhappy. Who was the second daughter-in-law? How dare she call her stupid?

"General Lu is ostensibly counting the dowry, but in reality he's searching for evidence against my father-in-law."

"Which official in this world can withstand a search?"

"Once General Lu submits the evidence to the emperor, the Li family will be finished."

"It's not the case that the whole family will be executed. My father-in-law is not so bold as to embezzle a huge amount of money, nor has he done anything extremely evil."

"But there's no escaping exile and confiscation of property."

"Do you know what exile means to a woman?"

The eldest daughter-in-law turned pale with fear: "Does this mean I have to suffer?"

"Suffering is a minor matter; the most horrible thing is humiliation."

"Once we become prisoners, those officials can humiliate us however they want."

"Even if we're not humiliated, after the Li family loses its slaves, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are used to enjoying themselves. Won't they make us work like slaves in the future?"

"If you are sent to a cold and bitter land to farm, you are considered lucky. If you are sent to do hard labor and forced to work with a whip, then life is worse than death."

The eldest daughter-in-law trembled with fear: "What should I do?"

"Send someone back to find her family and ask them to take charge of the matter for us. While the Li family is still going strong, force them to write a letter of divorce."

"Release...release the wife's letter?"

"How can that be? It would be bad for our reputation if it got out."

"Besides, my parents may not help me with this kind of thing. I am a married woman, and my life and death are determined by fate. My parents may not necessarily help me."

"Divorcing as soon as something goes wrong, and not being able to share hardships at all, is bad for your family's reputation. How will your daughters get married in the future?"

The second daughter-in-law curled her lips. The eldest sister-in-law's brain suddenly became clearer and she was not easy to fool.

She originally thought that if the two families put pressure on the Li family together, the success rate would be higher.

"Do you want to protect your family's reputation or escape death? It's your choice."

"What's more, if your family doesn't care about your life or death for the sake of reputation, what is there to protect?"

"When you've been raped, enslaved, and left to suffer a fate worse than death, I hope your family, whom you've tried so hard to protect, will come and collect your body!"

The second daughter-in-law left with a stern face. She wanted to save her life, but she insisted on seeking death. She was hopeless.

Reputation and face mean nothing; staying alive is the most important thing.

When dealing with these matters, neither Zhou's mother and daughter nor Su Yujiao showed up, otherwise they would become the subject of discussion.

Alas, there’s nothing we can do, this is the way the world is!

Even if a woman is the victim, there are still people who will find fault with her.

Lu Ziwei listened to the recording in the pearl hairpin and cried loudly on the table.

This is what it feels like to have your heart truly trampled upon.

She knelt down to serve her mother-in-law, who laughed at her and called her a fool, obedient and easy to control.

She gave all the good things to her sister-in-law, but she still laughed at her stupidity and even complained that it was not enough.

She respected her two sisters-in-law, but they were eyeing her dowry and laughed at her for being stupid and having a lot of money.

If it weren't for these pearl hairpins, she would have no idea how evil human hearts are!

"Okay, stop listening. Everything has been resolved. Why make yourself sick by listening to this?"

Lu Ziwei insisted: "Jiaojiao, let me finish listening to you. These words are a lesson for my stupidity."

"Not only am I going to listen to it now, I'm going to listen to it every day from now on and stop being a fool."

She cried as she spoke, and Zhou cried too out of heartache.

Su Yujiao didn't want to disturb the tender moment between mother and daughter, so she went to the next room to rest.

She has been very tired these days and is very sleepy now.

Mrs. Zhou was still comforting her daughter: "Weiwei, this is not your fault. Stop torturing yourself."

"It's those evil people who are wrong. They are blind and don't know how good you are."

Lu Ziwei threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears: "Mom, I'm just stupid."

"If Jiaojiao hadn't saved me this time, I would have been toyed with by that beast for the rest of my life."

"I will be trained into an obedient dog by him because of my guilt."

"I will actively beg that bitch to come in and bear him a child."

"I'd even go so far as to serve that bitch and her bastards."

"I will even go against my parents' family to protect Li Rongheng."

"When they are happy, they treat me like a servant. When they are unhappy, they poison me to death with a bowl of medicine."

"Wow, wow, wow... I should have had this miserable end. I should have lived a confused and miserable life."

"It was Jiaojiao who saved me that gave me the chance to sit here and talk to you. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what would have happened to me..."

Zhou was heartbroken when she heard her daughter's words. It was simply heartbreaking.

She wished she could chop that beast Li Rongheng into pieces.

"Mom knows Jiaojiao is a good person. She not only saved you, but also saved the lives of our entire family."

"She is the savior of our family."

"If she hadn't discovered the dragon robe incident in advance and prevented Chen Yunniang from bringing her dowry into the family, hundreds of lives in our Lu family would have been lost long ago."

"It's a pity that our family is not lucky enough to keep her..." Zhou said with regret.

Hearing her mother's sigh, Lu Ziwei suddenly stopped crying and asked with red and swollen eyes, "Mom, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean our family is unlucky to keep her?"

Zhou wiped her tears and said, "Didn't Jiaojiao tell you that she and Lao Qi have divorced?"

"What? Divorce? How could that happen?? Did that bastard Ziqian insist on divorcing Jiaojiao?"

In her memory, Su Yujiao loved her younger brother terribly, so her first reaction was that Lu Ziqian insisted on divorce, which was why they had come to this point.

Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "It was Jiaojiao who insisted on getting a divorce. Old Seven has done too many bad things. There's no way Jiaojiao would forgive him."

"What did he do?"

"You can't be worse than that beast Li Rongheng, right?"

Zhou was stunned and speechless. She really didn't want to compare her son with that beast, but when she thought about it carefully, what Lao Qi did was indeed unforgivable for a wife.

Seeing her mother remained silent, Lu Ziwei widened her red and swollen eyes in disbelief, "No way?"

"Old Seven is not that kind of person. Even if he doesn't like Jiaojiao, he won't be so vicious."

Zhou's nose suddenly felt sore: "Retribution, this is all retribution."

"We bullied other people's daughters, and they bullied my daughters. This is retribution."

"Mom, please explain yourself clearly."

So Zhou told him everything that had happened in the past two years.

After hearing this, Lu Ziwei was so angry that she wanted to kill him!

This was the second time she had the intention to kill. The first time was the night she stood at the wall and eavesdropped!

"Why didn't Jiaojiao kill him, you beast!"

"I've been wronged, but I still have my family to support me."

"She was wronged but no one stood up for her. Jiaojiao felt much more miserable than I did."

Lu Ziwei was so angry that her chest hurt: "Such a good woman, he doesn't know how to cherish her. He will regret it one day."
