So she wanted to punish her mother in her heart, but she really couldn't bear to punish her too much, let alone take her mother's life.

She just struggled for a moment and then spoke.

"Official, my mother did make a big mistake, but she is my mother after all, can she live by her life?"

Zhou Chen remained silent and was not ready to take action on Wang Ruofu's handling. He believed that with Sheng Changbai's personality, he would handle it well.

Although he was also disgusted with Wang Ruofu's stupidity, he had to admit that she was indeed played with by Aunt Kang.

However, although he had never thought about killing Wang Ruofu, he could not let her go so easily, so he deliberately kept silent and put pressure on him.

Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, the gatekeeper suddenly sent someone to report that someone was visiting him, including the Duke of Qi, his wife and his wife of the Duke of Qi, and the couple of the five girls of the Sheng family.

"Bring them here."

Two waves came one after another. The first wave was as expected by Zhou Chen, but the second wave came very coincidental.

Qi Heng supported Minglan, Wen Yanjing supported Rulan, and walked into the hall. They came from the Sheng family and knew that Sheng Hong and his wife and Wang family had come to the Duke's Mansion.

And they also met the people from the Wang family who left at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, so they all knew what happened in the Duke's Mansion.

Minglan and Rulan are both pregnant, but Rulan is older and is less than two months away from giving birth. She shouldn't have come out at this time, but for the sake of her mother, she had to walk to the Duke of Jingguo Mansion with a big belly.

Minglan is similar. Although Wang Ruofu is not her biological mother, she is also her nominal mother and is quite good to her. Therefore, it is natural that she cannot ignore Wang Ruofu's life and safety.

After they met Zhou Chen and Sheng Hong, they began to get into the topic.

"Brother-in-law..."

……………………

Two hours later, Sheng Hong and his wife, as well as his two other pairs of daughters and sons-in-law, left the Duke of Jingguo Mansion together.

When only Zhou Chen and Hualan were left, Hualan's eyes turned red and she said gratefully: "Official, thank you for bypassing my mother."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy too early. I just handed over the power to deal with my mother-in-law to your younger brother Changbai. But you should also know what kind of person Changbai is. It's really hard to say whether he will bypass his mother-in-law."

When Hualan heard this, her face suddenly changed. She knew her own brother, and she was upright and could not tolerate any sand in her eyes. If she asked him to deal with and punish her mother, it would not be a good thing.

"Changbai, he probably won't..."

"He may not take his mother-in-law's life, but there will be other punishments that will make his mother-in-law uncomfortable. However, being able to save his mother-in-law's life should be the result you want most."

Hua Lan was silent, and she naturally didn't want something to happen to her mother.

"Help me go back to the room. I've been sitting for so long. I'm so tired. I'll start tomorrow and I'll leave my house to thank the guests."

"good."

With Hualan's support, Zhou Chen returned to the room and lay down. Now, even at his own home, he still pretended to be seriously injured and not healed, confusing the public.

Zhou Chen poisoned his biological daughter in front of him, which made Old Mrs. Wang unable to swallow this breath.

Especially when she recalled her daughter's eyes dying with her eyes closed, her anger surged. So she thought about it for a long time, but in the end she was still unwilling to give up. She ignored the dissuasion of her son and daughter-in-law and decided to fight.

A few days later, she put on the imperial concubine's garment, went to the palace to ask for the empress dowager, and reported to Zhou Chen for abuse of lynching and poisoning the officials' family.

After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, the empress dowager frowned, and she didn't agree with it. She didn't want to pay attention to this matter at all, but it was difficult to say it out loud, so she chose a compromise method.

"Duke Jingguo is an important official in the vestibule. He has retired to the harem and does not ask about the matter in the vestibule. You can go to the official family to complain about this matter, and the official family will definitely preside over justice for you."
