"I went to the ancestral hall to see the Crown Prince's wife," Shu Xin said with a smile, "She was practicing calligraphy and was quite relaxed."

Lady Xuanguo nodded gently: "That's good."

In two days, I will find a reason to release her and clear her of all the injustice.

Just as the master and his servants reached the lakeside in the garden, they suddenly heard a scream, and then someone ran towards them in panic.

"Madam, be careful!" Shu Xin quickly protected the woman. The woman hugged the stone sculpture, muttering something in her mouth, looking crazy.

"Bai Fengxian, don't look for me! You fell into the water by yourself. You are unlucky. It has nothing to do with me! And Liu Cheng'er... I didn't mean to hurt you. You bumped into me by yourself! Why are you looking for me now?"

Bai Fengxian...Liu Cheng'er...These two names sounded somewhat familiar. Madam Yin couldn't help but frown and asked someone to capture the woman and bring her forward.

Several maids came up and dragged her over. When they looked closely, they saw that it was Chen wearing maid's clothes.

Chen still looked a little absent-minded. When she saw the wife of Duke Xuan, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head. She could not help biting her lips, and quickly stopped being afraid and tried to defend herself.

"Madam... why are you here? I just couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk..."

"Take him away." Lady Xuanguogong didn't listen to her pale words. She gave a faint order and added, "Please invite Aunt Qin and the Second Young Master over as well."

Aunt Qin was the biological mother of the second son. Upon hearing this, Shu Xin knew that there would be a massacre tonight, and she quickly knelt down to agree.

Lady Xuanguogong ordered people to investigate the hidden story behind the two names while at the same time she was trying Chen in the flower hall of the main courtyard.

Chen's face was pale, and she initially refused to confess. Later, her confidant Shan'er was dragged away for torture, and after being beaten with the stick twenty times, she could no longer bear it and confessed.

According to what Shan'er said, everything matched. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chen finally told the truth.

It turned out that Bai Fengxian and Liu Cheng'er were both Yin Erlang's favorite concubines, but they both disappeared without a clear reason. Although Chen was suspected, he gave up because he had no evidence.

Now, after listening to Chen's story, they realized that it was she who tampered with Bai Fengxian's shoes when she was pregnant, causing her to fall into the water.

When Liu Cheng'er was pregnant, someone was found to slander her for having an affair, and she was beaten to death. Later, it was claimed to be an accident.

She kept harming others until her own children were born, and then she stopped this behavior.

After this incident, Yin Erlang learned that his two concubines had died at her hands.

He cursed angrily: "You vicious woman with a heart of a snake and scorpion, I feel sick just looking at you! Divorce!"

Chen covered her face with her hands. After hearing what he said, she bit her lip and cried, "If we want to divorce, then our Yingchuan Chen family will lose all face! My husband is so cruel. He wants to force me to die!"

As she spoke, she rammed her head against a pillar beside her, and several maids tried to stop her in vain.

There was a loud "bang" and a line of blood slowly flowed down Chen's forehead. She fell to the ground weakly and fainted.

It was too much to go to such a fuss. Lady Xuan ordered someone to invite a doctor to treat her, and at the same time she couldn't help but ask Aunt Qin.

"Now that things have gotten to this point, Chen is your daughter-in-law, how do you want to deal with her?"

Aunt Qin had no other choice but to say in a low voice, "Since she refuses to divorce and it's hard for her to get along with Erlang anymore, we can only send her away."

Lady Xuanguogong nodded slightly.

The next morning, Yuluan was released from the ancestral hall. When she went to pay her respects, she heard that Chen had been sent to a women's training hall outside the city to recuperate and learn the rules. It was estimated that she would not be back for more than ten or twenty years.
