The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 639 Impeachment
In that quiet afternoon, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on Mrs. Mo's shoulders. She gently leaned against the old man, with a gentle smile on her lips. "Old man, you are just too doting." There was a bit of playfulness in her voice, as if she was teasing, but also as if she was expressing some sincere emotions.

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, and glared at Madam Mo with a bit of reproach in his eyes, but also with love, "You old woman, you only know how to fan the flames and watch the fun."

There was a hint of helplessness in his words, but he could not hide his love for Mrs. Mo.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter was clear and sweet, like the sound of spring water in spring. "Grandpa, you are hard on the outside but soft on the inside. You clearly care deeply about me, but you always refuse to admit it." Her words were somewhat teasing, but also revealed her deep understanding of the old man's character.

The old man flicked his sleeves lightly, his expression became serious, "What do you mean by hard mouth and soft heart? When did I say I didn't like her? Although she is not good at poetry and prose, she has made great military achievements for the court with her bravery. In the face of the righteousness of the country, she has never disappointed anyone. As for her temperament, as I said, her straightforwardness and honesty make her seem more real and precious. If it weren't for this matter, how could I get angry so easily?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Mo nodded secretly in her heart. She understood the old man's intention, so she smiled and said, "It's useless for you to lose your temper. She has already disappeared without a trace to avoid a direct conflict with you. However, her temper does make it easy for people to misunderstand that she doesn't know how to cherish her reputation."

The old man sighed softly, his tone becoming a little softer. "Forget it. Since this matter has not caused any major disaster, let it go. Go and tell her that she doesn't need to hide anymore, and it's time to come back."

Mrs. Mo agreed with a smile, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the old man again.

"Wait a minute, I heard a few days ago that the young lady seemed to be neglecting you. You summoned her here, but she ignored you?" A hint of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes.

Mrs. Mo quickly waved her hands and explained, "It was just a misunderstanding. She is still very respectful to me. In fact, the young lady has a gentle temperament and is very easy to get along with."

The old man nodded when he heard this. "That's great. Go and tell her to come back home as soon as possible. The funeral is approaching, so this matter should not be delayed any longer."

Mrs. Mo took the order and left, while the old man sat there with mixed feelings. He knew Yun Xi's temper very well, and understood her escape and pain at the moment. However, the family's responsibility and honor ultimately needed to be shouldered by someone.

That night, Yun Xi returned to the mansion exhausted and haggard.

She went straight to the old man's room, knelt on the ground, and apologized sincerely.

The old man looked at her haggard face and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He understood that the old lady's death had dealt a heavy blow to Yun Xi, far beyond others' imagination. So, he sighed and let Yun Xi go back to rest.

When Yi Han learned about this, he was also extremely worried. He knew Yun Xi's inner pain and struggle very well, so he offered to take her to the manor to relax.

However, Yun Xi refused.

She knew that if she went to the manor, it would only make her mother-in-law more worried. So she chose to face the pain alone and use time to heal the trauma in her heart.

However, fate did not seem to let Yun Xi off easily. On the morning of the second day after the old lady's funeral, Zhang Sima suddenly impeached General Suzaku Yun Xi, accusing her of being unkind and unfilial, not even attending her grandmother's funeral, and even refusing the mourning clothes sent by the Imperial Censorate.

This sudden impeachment caused an uproar among the officials in the court. Although they had heard about this matter before, no one expected that someone would actually stand up and make a report.

When the emperor heard this, he became furious.
