Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and to follow the trend. After figuring out Chen Guangrui's secret dislike for his wife, the Li sisters gradually neglected Yin Wenjiao in order to please him. At first, they were just trying to test her, but after they found out that Yin Wenjiao was a face-saving person who would swallow her anger and the old lady in the mansion was a wooden figurine who looked up at the sky and didn't care about anything, the original small test became uncontrollable.

Later, seeing that the more they did not give Yin Wenjiao pleasure, the happier Chen Guangrui became, the two sisters could not help but become domineering, and their original awe of Yin Wenjiao had long been thrown away to Java. If Wenjiao had not asked her at this moment, Li Xiaoman would have almost forgotten how anxious she was at first, praying to the gods and Buddhas for a magnanimous and tolerant mistress.

Cold sweat wet Li Xiaoman's dense eyelashes.

Who gave her the courage? Of course it was Chen Guangrui!

Everyone in the mansion knew that he was angry that Yin Wenjiao didn't die for him, but instead followed that thief to save her unborn child, which made him, a man, cuckolded and ashamed. He also despised her for not being able to raise the child properly, and actually abandoned the child to save his life, and the monk picked him up and raised him. Now the child was obsessed with Buddhist scriptures and stayed in the temple and refused to return to secular life. It was as good as not having a son. If he didn't have a prime minister as his father-in-law, Chen Guangrui would have written her a divorce letter long ago!

We sisters did this. He tortured his wife with a knife! Li Xiaoman regretted it.

Chen Guangrui and his wife were fighting, so why did the sisters get involved? Yesterday, she heard that Yin Wenjiao was rescued after failing to commit suicide, and she told her sister as a joke. Now she is very grateful and scared. If Yin Wenjiao really succeeded in committing suicide, the appearance of a hanged person could not be concealed at all, and the people from the Yin family would know the cause of death at a glance. Looking back, Chen Guangrui is a good son-in-law who does not care about the affairs of the harem, so he is naturally fine. His sister Li Aman is still pregnant, so she will most likely be picked out. Who else can be used as a scapegoat and handed over to the prime minister's mansion for punishment?

She struggled with her body that was tied stiffly, feeling so regretful that she couldn't express it in words. She could only try to beg for mercy with tearful eyes.

"I really feel pity for them." Wen Jiao sighed. When the newlyweds offered tea that day, what kind of mood did Yin Wenjiao have to welcome these two "sisters" who were big enough to be her and Chen Guangrui's daughters? It was not jealousy after all. Even without Li Xiaoman, there were Wang Xiaoman and Zhang Xiaoman. Yin Wenjiao had always been a well-educated and well-mannered lady. She only vented all her disappointment and resentment on her unfaithful husband.

Facing Li Xiaoman's trembling eyes, Wen Jiao said, "Don't be afraid. Yin Wen Jiao didn't punish you that day, and I, Wen Jiao, will certainly not touch you now. I just want you and your maid to stay in the room obediently, and someone will come to let you out later."

Ming Xin felt slightly disappointed: "Madam, are you not coming to look for the human traffickers?"

"I just said, keep the tonic for her, she will need it sooner or later. No matter how disrespectful she was in the past, this shock has wiped it out. She was also used as a gun by others, there is no point in grumbling about it." Wen Jiao messed up her bun a little in front of the mirror, turned her face to let her see, "How do I look now?"

Mingxin hesitated: "My lady is very beautiful..."

Wen Jiao interrupted her: "Tell the truth."

"My wife has been ill for a long time, so it is inevitable that her complexion will be a little worse. Just take good care of yourself and she will be fine." Mingxin stammered.

"I think this is just right." Wen Jiao was very satisfied and cast a sad look at the mirror, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them out before Chen Guangrui comes back. Also, prepare a car, I want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The maids thought that something was wrong with their ears. You know, it has been three months since Yin Wenjiao returned to Chang'an from Jiangzhou, and she has never taken the initiative to go back to her parents' home. Even if Mrs. Yin, who misses her daughter so much, sends someone to pick her up, she will carefully put on makeup in front of the mirror, and only after she is sure that all her disorganized appearance is covered up, will she be willing to go back to her parents' home to sit for a while. During this time, she must talk and laugh, and not allow the maids to reveal her situation to her parents' home, as if she and Chen Guangrui are still in love as newlyweds.

It's not that they didn't persuade her to ask her parents for help, but Yin Wenjiao was very stubborn: "It's embarrassing for a child to live a miserable life, why should I let my elderly parents worry about it? Not to mention that there is no reason for parents to manage their daughter's bedroom affairs, even if there is such a reason, Chen Lang has changed his heart and was forced by my father's power to be with me. I don't want such a hypocritical love!"

Looking at Yin Wenjiao's current dress and attitude, God bless her, could it be that she has finally changed her personality?

When the red carriage stopped in front of the prime minister's residence, the news that Yin Wenjiao had returned to her parents' home was quickly spread to the backyard by the guards at the gate. Mrs. Yin, overjoyed, had just prepared the menu and asked the kitchen to prepare it, when Wenjiao had already rushed to her door. Mrs. Yin heard the curtain move and said, "Mantangjiao, you want to come, why didn't you let someone know earlier? We just got fresh sea bass, your favorite food. Mother has asked them to make sea bass sashimi, which will be ready soon... What's wrong with you? Who is so bold as to bully you?" She was talking with a smile, but when Wenjiao approached, she found that her hair was messy and her face was pale and thin. The smile on her face disappeared immediately and she cried out.

"Mother!" Wen Jiao pinched her thigh hard, her throat trembling, and she threw herself into Madam Yin's arms with tears in her eyes, "Who else dares to bully my daughter? Of course it's Chen Guangrui, the good husband I have waited for for more than ten years. He, he, he despised my daughter's belly because it was useless and could not carry on his family line."

"He's talking nonsense! Jiang Liu'er is not his son? He thinks he is dead!" Madam Yin said angrily.

"Jiang Liu'er is devoted to Buddhism and refuses to return to secular life. Of course, he doesn't count. My daughter heard that he complained to the servants in private, saying that if she had known that she would give birth to a monk, she would have jumped into the river to kill herself, at least to keep her innocence." Wen Jiao's eyes were full of tears. She grabbed Madam Yin's sleeves and said sadly, "Mother, he has not slept with my daughter since he came back from Jiangzhou. I should have known that he wished my daughter would die."

Madam Yin was the daughter of a general. She was a hot-tempered person in her early years. Now that she was older, she still had a hot temper. Upon hearing this, she angrily said, "I gave him this black-hearted pig! I gave him a delicate girl, but he didn't have the ability to protect her. You spent more than ten years with a bandit, and your only flesh and blood, Jiang Liuer, is still wandering outside. I haven't even asked him how to be a man. He can't even protect his own wife and children, and he dares to despise my precious daughter? Mantangjiao, you have suffered such a great injustice, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The wetness of grievance spread from her heart, and the sadness from the remaining consciousness of Yin Wenjiao made her cry: "I was afraid that my parents would worry about me, so I always thought that if I endured it for a while, maybe he would find his conscience... Who would have thought that after enduring it to the end, he would say that it would be better to die early. Mother, my heart aches so much that I wish I could just die."

Seeing her tears falling, Madam Yin hurriedly wiped her tears: "Don't shed tears for such a person, it's not worth it!"

Wen Jiao wiped away her tears and said with a determined look: "Mother, what you said makes sense. I have also figured it out. My life is so precious. It is not worth wasting a day with such a heartless man. I am going to divorce him!"
