Chen Wanrong looked at Concubine Li, then at her, and sneered:
"Concubines have no place, and concubines are not qualified enough. Then why not let the government judge and see if there is any reason in this world where those who make mistakes do not have to bear the responsibility."
"Absolutely not!" He Jin quickly stopped.
"Madam, it's better not to make this matter public to the government. Let's just settle it in our mansion."
Concubine Li accompanied her with a smile, and her attitude was not as tough as before.
If this matter spreads, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to A Jin's reputation.
He Jin knelt directly on the ground and said:
"Mother, my son knows his mistake. Please give me a chance. I am willing to take Hong Zhu as my concubine."
Chen Wanrong took the tea handed over by Nanny Zhao, took a sip, and scanned the two of them with her eyes before saying:
"So you guys know how to be ashamed too."
Then why were they so overbearing just now, as if they were begging them.
Hearing this, He Jin and Concubine Li's faces were a little uncomfortable. Concubine Li even glared at He Jin angrily.
Seeing that the two of them were honest, Chen Wanrong then looked at Hong Zhu who had been silent:
"Hong Zhu, what do you think?"
Hong Zhu looked up at He Jin, then said to Chen Wanrong:
"Madam, this slave does not want to be a concubine."
"You don't want to be a concubine? Then do you still want to be a wife? I warn you, don't push your luck!"
Concubine Li leaned forward, stared at Hong Zhu, and her voice was urgent.
But Hong Zhu didn't even look at her, and continued:
"This slave wants to take the deed of sale and leave the mansion."
After saying that, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Su Hele quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Nansheng looked at Su Hele's appearance, snorted, and said nothing.
"Have you thought it through?"
Chen Wanrong stared at Hong Zhu, with a solemn face.
Just now she learned that Hong Zhu has no family in this world.
Now that the world is difficult, she is a weak woman without the help of her relatives, and her life in the future will probably be very difficult.
"This slave wants to leave the mansion."
But Hong Zhu didn't hesitate.
Chen Wanrong stared at Hong Zhu, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and said to Concubine Li:
"Not everyone is rare to be a concubine. Even if life is difficult, people would rather have a free body."
Although Concubine Li knew that this was a mockery of herself, she had no way to refute it, and her face turned red and blue for a while.
I heard Chen Wanrong continue:
"Hong Zhu, since this is your choice, then I will make the decision to agree. But although you only asked me for the deed of sale, I can't just give you the deed of sale. You always have to buy a house and land after you leave the mansion, so that your life can be stable.
So the second room will give you another sum of silver to ensure your life. Do you have any objections to this, He Jin?"
"Son has no objections. Son is willing to give more as compensation to Hong Zhu."
He Jin quickly said that it would be best if it could be solved with silver.
Concubine Li was a little distressed, this sum of silver was probably indispensable.
She only spent money to take care of He Jin a while ago, and now she has to spend money again. Where does she get so much silver.
But if she doesn't, Hong Zhu will probably stay here. She is a humble maid, so where is she worthy of being He Jin's concubine.
So even though Concubine Li was unwilling, she didn't speak out against it.
Seeing this, Chen Wanrong nodded and said:
"Then the matter is settled like this. Hong Zhu, you get up first, and so is Su Mo. You are a servant girl who serves. What can you do to stop your master from wanting to die? Where do you need to be punished? Our Marquis Mansion is not an unreasonable place."
As she said that, Chen Wanrong gave Su Hele a deep look. The latter dodged her eyes and said nothing.
Hearing this, He Jin also wanted to get up, but saw Chen Wanrong's face turned cold again:
"He Jin, you are indulgent and willful, and your virtue is lacking. According to the rules, I should beat you with a board, but because you still have to go on duty, our Anshun Marquis Mansion can't afford to lose that face. From today onwards, you will go to the ancestral hall for an hour every day. Kneel for a full month and reflect on your stupid deeds."
"Son obeys the order." He Jin lowered his head, with a gentle attitude.
"Also, I will write to the Marquis about this matter."
He Jin suddenly raised his head. Telling his father, how could this be possible!
"Oh, there's no need to tell the master about such a trivial matter. What's there to say."
Concubine Li quickly spoke out to persuade her, with a hasty expression.
Chen Wanrong glanced at her:
"I've already made up my mind about this matter, so there's no need to discuss it any more. Let's disperse. Nansheng stay and talk to me."
Concubine Li still wanted to stop her:
"Madam, this..."
"I said, I've already made up my mind about this matter!"
Chen Wanrong's tone was cold and hard, leaving no room for maneuver.
Seeing this, Concubine Li gave Hong Zhu a hard look, and left with a cold face.
After everyone left and only Nanny Zhao was left by her side, Chen Wanrong motioned for Su Nansheng to come forward:
"Su Hele admitted that it wasn't He Jin's ugly deed, right?"
From the moment Su Hele admitted it quickly, she felt that something was wrong. Coupled with Su Hele's later words, she already had an idea in her heart.
"Mother can't hide anything. I lied to her."
Su Nansheng's smile was sly, and then told Chen Wanrong the whole story.
After Chen Wanrong heard this, she disagreed:
"You didn't tell me again. If everything didn't go so smoothly, what if Su Hele found something wrong?"
There is a lot of luck in this matter, and it is still too risky.
"That's why I didn't tell mother for fear of being unsuccessful. If it succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, Su Hele can't frame Linchuan either. When she met Linchuan, someone in the mansion was watching. How easy is it to wrong someone with empty words."
In her previous life, Su Hele was able to frame Linchuan successfully because she helped as a bait, and He Xun didn't explain, which was completely different from the current situation.
Moreover, she originally considered the possibility of failure, so she decided to move Hong Zhu. After all, He Jin's dirty deeds were real, and she didn't wrong him.
Even if she was seen through by Su Hele and didn't cooperate, with Hong Zhu's matter first, she would also make everyone think that Su Hele was taking revenge.
If things succeed, she can not only disrupt Su Hele's calculations, but also sow discord between He Jin and his wife, killing two birds with one stone.
"It's good to be on guard. It's just this Su Hele. Her methods are so insidious and humble. We have to be careful in the future."
Chen Wanrong's expression was cold and solemn. Before, she only thought that Su Hele was stupid, but now she is both vicious and stupid.
...
After leaving Qionghua Garden, the smile on Su Nansheng's face slowly disappeared.
At that moment just now, she thought of her previous life again, and thought of her despicability when she framed He Xun.
She is really vicious, how could she treat He Xun like that.
Fortunately, in this life, she stopped Su Hele and didn't let the stigma fall on He Xun again.
She also slapped Su Hele for He Xun, which can be regarded as getting some interest back.
Moreover, with this incident, Su Hele will no longer be able to frame He Xun in the same way in the future.
Thinking about it, Su Nansheng stretched out the hand that had just slapped someone, looked at the still red palm, and hesitated.
In her previous life, she was an accomplice. Why don't she be cruel and slap herself for He Xun too?
