Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1710 The Country Girl Looked Down Upon 31
Of course, more importantly, he knew his daughter would be exiled after her home was raided.

The thought of her daughter being exiled to a desolate place to suffer was unbearable for Aunt Wang. In a panic, she went to see Madam Zhou and asked if she could send someone to talk to the Duke of Ying's mansion and ask them to issue a divorce agreement or even a letter of separation, as long as her daughter could be released.

Once the marriage is dissolved or a divorce is reached, even if the Duke of England issues a judgment, it will no longer concern his daughter.

This needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise once the verdict comes down and her daughter is sentenced to exile, she won't be able to bring her daughter back.

Madam Zhou had always stayed in the inner quarters and, being from the countryside, had little knowledge of what was happening outside, so she was unaware that such a thing had occurred at the Duke of Ying's mansion.

Seeing Aunt Wang crying and talking about the Duke of Ying's mansion, I learned about this matter. I was immediately surprised and thought that being an official was quite terrifying. How could one lose their title so easily and have their whole family exiled to the border? That's too frightening!
After listening to Aunt Wang's tearful complaint, she was unaware of what Aunt Zhou had done in private. Although she found Aunt Zhou's superior attitude and disdain for her family annoying whenever she returned to the mansion, she felt sorry for her when she thought about how she was going to be exiled to a desolate place.

But such a big matter was not something she could decide on her own, so she immediately sent someone to tell Old Master Zhou about it and ask him for advice.

After all, Old Master Zhou had said that important matters should be discussed with him, and she shouldn't make decisions on her own, lest it bring trouble to the family.

The fact that the Duke of England's mansion had to write a divorce agreement and bring back Aunt Zhou was a serious matter for Old Madam Zhou, so she naturally didn't dare to make the decision alone and instead spoke with Old Master Zhou.

Fortunately, Madam Zhou knew to speak with Old Master Zhou; otherwise, if she had sympathized with Aunt Wang and made the decision on her own, and then had the Duke of Ying's mansion bring back Aunt Zhou for divorce, it would have been a huge problem.

When Aunt Wang saw that Madam Zhou was going to ask Old Master Zhou before making a decision, she immediately felt uneasy. She thought that Old Master Zhou was not as soft-hearted as Madam Zhou and probably wouldn't help her daughter.

But she couldn't stop Old Madam Zhou from asking Old Master Zhou for advice. After all, even if Old Madam Zhou agreed, if Old Master Zhou found out and disagreed, he could still get it back.

Sure enough, when Old Master Zhou heard that Old Madam Zhou had sent someone to ask him this question, he immediately said that he could not go to the Duke of Ying's mansion to talk about this matter. He said that the Duke of Ying's mansion was surrounded by soldiers, and why would she send someone in to meddle? Did she want to cause trouble for her family?

If they had a particularly good relationship, Old Master Zhou might have hesitated to help, but Aunt Zhou had no connection with their family. Why should he take such a risk for her? It was completely not worth it.

Seeing that Old Master Zhou disagreed, Madam Zhou could only regretfully tell Aunt Wang that she was powerless to help.

Aunt Wang pleaded a few more times, only to find that Old Madam Zhou kept repeating the same few sentences, saying that she couldn't help her and had no choice but to find a solution herself.

What other plan could she possibly come up with? She could only impersonate the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and send someone to the Duke of Ying's mansion to demand a divorce decree for her daughter's release. Would the Duke of Ying's mansion actually issue such a divorce decree to Aunt Zhou at this time? Absolutely not!

The Duke of Ying could not bear to see his son suffer on the frontier while his wife returned home to live a good life after their divorce. Therefore, when a servant came to persuade his son to divorce his wife, Zhou Gu Nai Nai, under the guise of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he naturally did not agree to it.

Moreover, he didn't believe that it was the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion that sent a servant to bring up this matter. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had no feelings for his concubine's wife, so why would they help her bring up this matter, causing trouble for his family and giving the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion an unpleasant reputation—making people say that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was kicking someone when they were down, and that seeing the Duke of Yingguo's mansion in trouble, they made the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion abandon her husband and children.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and his daughter-in-law don't have such a good relationship that he would be willing to bear such a stigma for her.

If he disagrees, his son will certainly disagree even less. After all, life on the border is tough. If he has a wife, at least she can take care of him. Otherwise, how can a noble young master like himself, who has fallen to such a state, suddenly have to go from being taken care of by a bunch of servants to having to fend for himself? If he has a wife, at least she can take care of him. If he doesn't have a wife, he will have to take care of himself, which is definitely not going to work.

Therefore, the British Duke's Mansion refused to agree to the matter, citing their inability to confirm that it was the opinion of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. They said that if it was indeed the opinion of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, they would believe it if the Zhenguo Duke or his heir came to discuss it.

The servant sent by Aunt Wang could not possibly summon the Duke of Zhenguo and his heir, so Aunt Wang's attempt to rescue Aunt Zhou naturally came to nothing.

As for Linlang, she naturally wouldn't sympathize with Aunt Zhou's situation or rescue her. After all, it was Linlang who caused the downfall of the Duke of Ying's mansion. Linlang naturally wouldn't care about Aunt Zhou and rescue her to let her continue causing trouble. After all, the purpose of bringing down the Duke of Ying's mansion was to cut off its lifeline and kill this woman with one blow, so that she could no longer cause trouble for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Why would she rescue her?

Grandma Zhou never expected that, when the time was perfect and her father-in-law's men were about to deal with Master Zhou, how come Master Zhou didn't die but her family was the one who suffered?
Upon hearing the details of the crimes committed by the Duke of England's family in the imperial edict, Aunt Zhou was so angry she almost vomited blood.

Damn it, they were born out of wedlock and didn't get any benefits. They only received a fixed monthly allowance. The money earned from the brothels and gambling dens in the mansion all ended up in the hands of the Duchess of England. In the end, the bad luck happened to them. How could Aunt Zhou not be so angry that she almost vomited blood?
I had hoped to help my father-in-law settle things with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion so that I could have a better position in the Duke of Ying's mansion and gain something in the future. But before I could succeed, I was implicated by them.

If I had known the Duke of England's family was doomed, I shouldn't have married into their family in the first place.

At the time, she had no idea that the Duke of England's mansion was secretly engaged in such businesses. She only thought that her family made a living by relying on the estate. Besides receiving a monthly allowance and annual stipend, she had no other extra money and had no idea that the mansion's money could not be earned from the estate alone.

Of course, it's too late to regret it now.

It's truly hateful. She looked down on the Zhou family, so she wanted to get rid of them. In the end, the Zhou family didn't leave, but she herself was about to leave the capital.

Soon the three courts concluded their trial of the British Duke's family. As expected, the family members were exiled. No matter how unwilling Aunt Zhou was, there was nothing she could do, and she could only leave in a miserable state.
