Chapter 9 (7)
South of Bingzhou City, Di Jinghui's mansion.
Chen Qiuyue sat blankly in front of the dressing mirror in the bedroom, allowing the maid to insert golden hairpins into her temples. Unfortunately, these exquisite ornaments only highlighted the woody and depressedness of her face. This copy was considered a charming and dazzling appearance, but now there was only a walking dead skin. Her tears had dried up, and her heart had long been broken, like a moth burning in the fire, and even the courage to continue flying. She just hoped that such suffering could end early, even a moment earlier.
"Madam, Mr. Di is here." A maid came in and reported, but Chen Qiuyue still had no response. The maids were used to her appearance, so they raised their voices and reported again slowly. Chen Qiuyue had just woken up slowly and said, "Please go to the main hall, I'll go there now."
She stood up and let the maid help her to tidy up the silk and satin on her body. She held the maid's arm and walked into the main hall in front. Seeing Di Renjie sitting upright in the center, she deeply took a blessing and said, "Qiuyue greeted her father-in-law."
Di Renjie looked at his daughter-in-law and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. At that time, Di Jinghui insisted on going against him and insisted on marrying Chen Songtao's daughter. The father and son almost had a stumble. In the end, Di Renjie gave in. He was really unhappy and had no good feelings for this daughter-in-law since then. But until today, when he saw this woman who was still in her youth but was already withered, he realized for the first time that she was the wife of her son who was loved and hated, the mother of her grandchildren who was like a golden boy and jade girl, and her close relative, but she was to suffer so much neglect, confusion and distress. After all, she was innocent...Is she really innocent?
Di Renjie bowed slightly and said, "This is always good for his wife."
"My wife is very good, thank you for your concern." Chen Qiuyue still looked absent-minded and said as she sat down on the chair next to her.
Di Renjie glanced at her and said, "I must have known my wife who is here today."
"My wife knows." Chen Qiuyue's answer was very straightforward, which surprised Di Renjie a little. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Wife, please tell me."
Chen Qiuyue said coldly: "Di Jinghui asked my father to arrest him. My father-in-law came for this matter."
Di Renjie frowned and said, "Di Jinghui? Qiuyue, he is your husband."
"Husband? I regard him as my husband, but he has never regarded me as his wife?" Chen Qiuyue said with a word, and she was excited without expecting it. She said hurriedly: "Dadfather-in-law, do you know how many meals he has eaten at home in the past six months? How many times have he held the children? How many times have he seen his wife in total?!" Before he finished speaking, tears had quickly rolled over his face.
Di Renjie sighed in his heart, but he still said in a tough heart: "Qiuyue, Jinghui has a bad temper and is not considering things. He owes you a lot. However, he is not a bad person, and I never believe that he will commit any serious crimes. Now he is involved in major cases, and your father's attitude towards him seems to have a profound meaning."
Chen Qiuyue lowered her head and refused to speak.
Di Renjie observed her expression and said in a gentle tone: "Actually, I only hope that Jing Hui can get a fair trial. If he is indeed guilty, I, the father, will never favor him at all. However, I will never allow anyone to use despicable means to harm him for the sake of ulterior motives and try to control me. What I, Di Renjie, hates most in my life, is to be threatened, and the facts have proved that all those who have tried to control me have suffered the most tragic end!"
Chen Qiuyue's body couldn't help but tremble. She still didn't say anything, but her eyes were telling the deepest despair.
Di Renjie's calm words continued: "Qiuyue, even if Jinghui makes mistakes, he is your husband, and even Shijin Xiaomin knows that a couple has a hundred days of kindness. He is also the father of your children. I don't think you want to see them. They have experienced the pain of separation of flesh and blood at such a young age. I have seen and heard so much in my life. Qiuyue, today I can tell you that no hatred can resist the affection of loved ones! No matter what kind of intentions, I can't get back to a clear conscience!"
Chen Qiuyue suddenly burst out with a dying sob, and she collapsed on the chair, almost collapsed.
Di Renjie looked at her for a long time, sighed, and got up and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to step out of the door, Chen Qiuyue's trembling voice came from behind him: "Please stay, Qiuyue, Qiuyue has something to say..."
Di Renjie stopped stepping on his feet. He turned around, slowly returned to Chen Qiuyue, and whispered: "Qiuyue, tell me, I'll listen."
