Chapter 83 Satisfaction
"If you still know that I am your mother, you should consider the face and reputation of the Marquis' Mansion first, instead of pleading for a concubine who made a mistake. Young Master Dong accidentally got lost, which is not a reason for her to be vicious."
Madam Hou glanced at Qin Shuyu with a displeased tone, her eyes revealing a warning: "Do your job well, I will make the decision on this matter."
Qin Shuyu looked at Madam Hou, who was always sensible and prudent, with a look of strangeness in her eyes...The impression of her kind and loving mother-in-law suddenly shattered.
The scene before her reminded her of her cousin who had been closest to her since childhood.
Even if she told the truth to her uncle and aunt afterwards, her aunt would say that the dead cannot be brought back to life and that the Dong family is no longer the same as before, so they had to swallow their anger.
My cousin was blamed and died unjustly!
Everything was Master Dong's plan. What was wrong with my cousin? Why was she the one who ended up banging her head against the wall and died? Why was she the one who was insulted as unfaithful?
Just like Aunt Zhao at this moment.
What did Aunt Zhao do wrong?
She was forced by Master Dong. Just because she was a lowly maid with no backing and no power, could she not resist?
Can we live in peace without resistance?
No!
When the Marquis finds out the truth, he will simply accuse her of adultery and have her thrown into a pig cage or beaten to death!
It seems like everyone is subconsciously ignoring the culprit. Just because the culprit is a man, does everything he does seem natural?
Thinking of this, Qin Shuyu felt that her cognition of more than ten years was collapsing. She forced a perfunctory smile and said firmly: "Mother, you are too kind."
"How can I trouble you to worry about such a small matter? This is my daughter-in-law's fault."
"Compared to Aunt Zhao's reckless behavior, the one who should bear the greatest responsibility should be my daughter-in-law."
"It was my daughter-in-law who failed to do her job well. She failed to arrange everything in the mansion and failed to anticipate that the most upright Master Dong would break into the back garden and get lost."
"As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, my daughter-in-law can't even keep a close eye on her concubine. She can be accused of deliberately seducing a man outside her family just by walking in her own backyard."
Listen to these sarcastic words!
Qin Shuyu appeared to be admitting his mistake, but inwardly he was mocking Madam Hou for disregarding justice and only wanting to calm the matter down and make a big deal out of a small one.
Sacrifice an insignificant Aunt Zhao to maintain the relationship between the official family!
Old Madam Hou's face became increasingly gloomy. With so many officials and noble ladies present, even her relative Qin's mother stood among them without saying a word. It was difficult for her to offend Qin Shuyu.
After admitting his mistake in front of Madam Hou.
Qin Shuyu turned to look at Aunt Zhao, and with the demeanor of a mistress, she refuted the decision of her mother-in-law and Xie Yuchuan for the first time: "Therefore, when Aunt Zhao made a mistake, I, as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, should be the first to step forward and discipline her."
"Aunt Zhao,"
"Your behavior has brought shame to the Marquisate, why don't you kneel down!"
thump.
Aunt Zhao knelt down immediately.
"Mr. Dong, you didn't know the seriousness of the situation and damaged your foundation. Do you know your mistake?"
"I know I was wrong."
"Although you have admitted your mistake, I will never let you go easily. I must give the Dong family an explanation. From now on, I will give you a letter of divorce! I will divorce you!"
"From now on, you have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion!"
As soon as these words fell.
There was silence all around. Everyone looked at Qin Shuyu, and then at Master Dong, whose eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of resentment, but who could not utter a word.
But at this moment, Qin Shuyu smiled gently at Master Dong and asked, "Master Dong, I have punished Aunt Zhao. From now on, she is an abandoned woman with a disgraced reputation. Are you satisfied?"
Master Dong: “!!!”
Servant: “………”
"You..." Master Dong bit his back teeth, glared fiercely at Qin Shuyu and Shen Wei who was staring at him coldly, and forced out the word "satisfied".
Things have come to this, he can only swallow his anger.
same.
Miss Lu also breathed a sigh of relief and clenched her fingers with gratitude in her eyes.
