Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 250 The Eloquent Xue Shi

Master Bai returned home, but the courtyard was in complete chaos as everyone was fighting and kicking each other, and no one paid any attention to him.

Master Bai took two quick steps and, as soon as he entered the hanging flower gate, he saw his young wife standing with her hands on her hips, scolding her daughter.

"You little slut, so what if you're an old widower? You're old and you know how to take care of people, don't you understand?"

I am your mother. Even if you let me marry a beggar, you would still have to kneel down and kowtow to thank me.

"Since your father isn't here, I'll teach you a lesson today, you arrogant brat."

Xue suddenly broke through the encirclement of the Su family and raised her hand to slap Bai Lu across the face.

Xiao Yishan rushed forward to stop him, but Chu Xiu pulled him back.

Snapped--

A heavy slap landed, and when Xue saw who it was, she was so shocked that she froze on the spot, unable to move.

Master Bai was slapped, and Bai Lu escaped unscathed. The tears she had been holding back could no longer be contained.

She hugged the wealthy man and sobbed, "Father... Father, you're finally back! I almost didn't see you again. Waaah!"

The little girl was crying so hard she could barely breathe, and Master Bai was heartbroken.

Snapped--

He raised his hand and slapped Xue Shi to the ground.

Madam Xue was stunned by the blow and it took her a while to realize that this old man actually dared to hit her.

Master Bai always pampered and spoiled her.

Bai Lu originally disagreed with Bai Yuanwai marrying her, but Bai Yuanwai insisted on marrying her anyway.

In Xue's heart, her position in Bai Yuanwai's heart was naturally above that of Bai Lu.

Unexpectedly, Master Bai is now helping Bai Lu beat him up.

Unable to accept this sudden change, she cast aside all her schemes and plots, focusing solely on asking, "Why? Why did you hit me?"

"Why? You hit my daughter, schemed against her, and even wanted to marry her off to a beggar. How dare you ask why?"

How could I have married such a vicious woman? All your previous gentleness and kindness were just an act.

When he's not around, she starts to show her true colors and bully his daughter.

The wealthy man Bai had lost all his previous tenderness and affection for Xue Shi; his eyes were blazing with fury, and he wished he could burn her to death.

The slap made Xue realize her true status; she was merely Bai Yuanwai's wife, a role that could be replaced at any time.

Bai Lu is his beloved daughter, a family member with whom he is inseparable even if their blood is broken.

The wealthy man was after her looks, and she was after his money; their relationship was essentially based on mutual benefit.

This kind of relationship is pitifully insignificant in the face of kinship.

Madam Xue was flexible and quick to regain her composure. She curtsied gently and said, "Master, you have misunderstood me."

The man I arranged for Lu'er to marry is Nie Tianlei from the Nie Family Medical Clinic. The Nie family is of equal social standing to ours, so Lu'er will be blessed if she marries into that family.

I originally planned to wait for you to come back before making a decision, but the Nie family was urging us, and Lu'er herself was willing, so I said I would take her there first to get acquainted with the place and let the two children meet it.

For some reason, the sedan chair was suddenly abducted by that old widower surnamed Nie as soon as it left the gate. I reported it to the authorities and even searched the whole city, but we couldn't find it.

When they finally found it, the old widower's house had already been burned down.

I thought Lu'er had been murdered, and I cried so hard I almost died.

Your Honor, please investigate this matter thoroughly. You can ask the Nie family and all the people of the city to testify to these things.

I have not lied a single word, or may I be struck by lightning.

Master Bai frowned, seemingly lost in thought. Madam Xue grabbed his hand, knelt down, and cried, "I know Lu'er doesn't like me. She never wanted me to marry into this family in the first place."

She probably wants to use this to frame me and kick me out of the Bai family.

My lord, my death is nothing to regret, but who will take care of you, look after you, and warm your bed after I'm gone? Your legs are weak, what if you fall down when you get up at night without anyone by your side?

You like to kick off the covers when you sleep, who will care for you if you catch a cold...?

After hearing Xue's words, Chu Xiu silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart. Impressive, truly impressive.

Brilliant, truly brilliant.

They turned black into white, not only absolving themselves of all responsibility but also shifting the blame.

He even took the time to care about Master Bai's daily life, and every word he spoke revealed his true feelings.

If he hadn't known the whole story, even he would have been fooled.

After Xue finished speaking, she lowered her head and kept crying. Bai Lu had no witnesses, but the Nie family and the people of the entire Pingchuan County could testify for her.

Her crying scene at the funeral was no joke.

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Bai said angrily. "No matter what you say today, the Bai family will not keep you here any longer."

Madam Xue calmly said, "Mother, I know you don't like me, but it doesn't matter. No matter what happens, you will always be my mother."

You can hit me or scold me, or even if you want to kick me out, I will have no complaints.

As children, we should be filial to our parents and obey them. I believe everyone thinks the same way I do.

Bai Lu rolled her eyes. Weren't those words being said to her?

"Xue, I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Shuya, bring the person over."

Four tall men pushed through the crowd and escorted Shuya forward.

A frail old man was thrown to the ground, and a signed confession was handed to Master Bai.

Shuya choked up and said, "Master, Miss has suffered a lot while you were away."

This old man Nie was arranged by Xue to attempt to sexually assault the young lady. He confessed to all his crimes and identified Xue as the mastermind behind it all.

Mrs. Xue never expected that while the house was burned down, Old Man Nie would still be alive.

She underestimated Bai Lu; that little bitch actually managed to get Old Man Nie's confession.

Madam Xue sneered, "What confession? That's nothing but a confession obtained through torture, or someone randomly brought in to frame me."

Old Man Nie was covered in injuries, his face was deathly pale, and he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

It was obvious that she had been tortured; she didn't believe the master wouldn't notice.

Master Bai did see through it, but he still didn't say anything, only his brows furrowed even deeper.

Bai Lu said, "Since you say that my witness testimony was obtained through torture and that it is a frame-up."

How much of the testimony from the city's residents and the Nie family that you mentioned is true and how much is false?
Oh, no, you have no witnesses or testimonies.

Neither the Nie family nor the ordinary people came forward to testify on your behalf, nor did they offer any testimony.

After being rebuked, Madam Xue tugged at Master Bai's sleeve and continued to lament her hardships.

Master Bai finally finished reading the testimony. He waved his hand, and four or five servants ran over behind him. "Master, what are your orders?"

These men had traveled with him all over the country and were his trusted confidants.

Master Bai said coldly, "Take this old man Nie away."

He did not choose to report to the authorities, clearly distrusting the government and wanting to conduct the interrogation himself.

His distrust of the government and the magistrate of Chu County meant he distrusted the Xue family.

Xue was able to control Magistrate Chu, but now she couldn't control Master Bai.

She instinctively backed away, her back drenched in cold sweat, and was interrupted before she could even utter a word of pleading.

Master Bai said, "Shuya, go and get some paper and pen."
