Chapter 81 Replacement
"Miss Shen kicked Master Dong because of me!"
As soon as these words fell.
The whole audience was shocked.
Aunt Zhao was born in a humble family and had never seen any big scenes. Whenever she met women of noble status, she spoke with timidity and inferiority.
Only this time!
Her voice was rapid and loud!
This powerful sentence drowned out all the discussions around.
Whether it was the ladies of the noble family who were whispering, the disgusted old lady Hou, or Xie Yuchuan who wanted to make Shen Wei suffer, they all looked at Aunt Zhao in shock.
Aunt Zhao saw Shen Wei's face change slightly, as if he was about to open his mouth to refute her!
She quickly stepped forward and suddenly knelt in front of Madam Hou, and before Shen Wei could speak, she cried, "Madam, please make the decision for me!"
"After the banquet just now, I wanted to take a walk in the back garden."
"But somehow I saw Master Dong here too. I wanted to avoid him, but Master Dong, he, he actually flirted with me."
"I thought Mr. Dong was an honored guest, so I tried to refuse and go back to my room, but Mr. Dong suddenly blocked my way and tried to force me to be with him..."
"Even though I'm just a concubine, I know the rules of propriety, righteousness, and honor. After several attempts to persuade him, Master Dong still refused to let go, so I had no choice but to kick him out."
"Wuwuwuwu... Old Madam, Lord Marquis, this is absolutely true. I dare not tell a single lie. After such a scandal, I have no face to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Please divorce me, Lord Marquis."
Shen Wei looked in surprise at Aunt Zhao who stood up to take the blame. The words that were about to come out of his mouth to refute him were finally swallowed back.
Aunt Zhao has already been stigmatized, it’s too late to say anything now!
Shen Wei knew Aunt Zhao's purpose, and was even more clear about why Aunt Zhao stood up at this moment...
Now that all the distinguished guests are here, it is a good opportunity to be divorced. In order to consider the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, the old lady of the Marquis dare not be too biased.
Aunt Zhao is indeed different from before. She would not have had such courage before. In order to leave the Marquis's Mansion, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her reputation and pay such a huge price!
"Why are you crying? You're talking nonsense!" Old Madam Hou said after listening to Aunt Zhao's crying.
His expression became even uglier than before, and there was a hint of shock in it.
She stared at Aunt Zhao sharply, obviously not believing what she said. She also didn't expect that Aunt Zhao, who always only cleaned up her own mess, would dare to stand up and take the blame: "You said it was you who kicked Master Dong? If it was you, why did the servant say it was Shen Wei who did it?"
Old Madam Hou glanced at Shen Wei inadvertently.
It was obvious that the old lady knew that it was Shen Wei who kicked someone.
Although what happened in the martial arts gym was forcibly suppressed by Master Dong, how could the old lady, as the head of the Marquis's Mansion, not know about it?
Of course!
Xie Yuchuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "You said that Master Dong teased you? So you destroyed Master Dong's foundation? In this case, it is still Master Dong's fault?"
"Everyone at the banquet is a distinguished guest. As a concubine of low status, you should stay in the side courtyard. Without the mistress's permission, you are not allowed to go to the inner courtyard to confront the distinguished guests! You knew what day it was today, but you insisted on coming to the back garden to hang out. You have a dirty heart!"
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't behaved improperly, how could such a scandal have happened? I can't protect you from this matter!"
"Mother, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. Bring Aunt Zhao to justice!"
There are many women like Aunt Zhao, and Xie Yuchuan can discard her like a worn-out shoe without blinking an eye.
Now that Aunt Zhao has stepped forward to take the blame, there is no need to offend the Dong family, and Shen Wei does not have to suffer in the government office... To be honest, Xie Yuchuan still can't bear to see Shen Wei suffer.
If Shen Wei wasn't so stubborn and all the distinguished guests present were watching, Xie Yuchuan really didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
