Chapter 391 Sending Zhuangzi
Marquis Jingyuan said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I will not let you off lightly this time."
The old lady said fiercely: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to Qing'er in the future? Lu Shi can't stay. If he goes to Qingge, he won't be able to learn well. Do you know?"
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan, who was listening nearby, felt that the Marquis was not confused this time. Although she had previously favored Mrs. Lu and felt sorry for Li Qing, this time she probably came to her senses after seeing the trouble Qin Ran had caused. Although she would sometimes make trouble in the house, she was not confused on major issues.
Marquis Jingyuan said: "Mother, can you not spare her life?"
After hearing this, the old lady closed her eyes and shouted, "Kneel down."
Marquis Jingyuan immediately fell to his knees.
The old lady said, "Do you know why I asked you to kneel down? I know that the old marquis died early. I am also an orphan and a widow. It is inevitable that you have spoiled me a little. I always stand in your way and make you indecisive.
If you spare his life, when Brother Qing grows up, there is no guarantee that he will not be instigated by him, and then the Marquis' Mansion will be in chaos again. You are really foolish.
How could the Marquisate fall into the hands of such a person? Then I will go to see your father without saying anything."
Marquis Jingyuan said, "It's my son's fault."
The old lady said, "You can't waste a moment now. I want to talk to Yun'er."
Only then did Marquis Jingyuan slowly stand up and walk out.
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan said, "Mother, do you have anything to say to me by staying here?"
The old lady took the hand of the wife of Marquis Jingyuan and said, "Yun'er, your mother has been confused these years. I know she has let you down, but fortunately you are back. You have educated Yan'er very well. The future of our Marquis' Mansion depends on you.
I know the Marquis is not a bad man. It was Lu's instigation over the years that caused the discord between you and your wife. You have a strong temper. Now that there are no obstacles between you, can you live a good life? Yan'er is now the prince, and he will be the head of the Marquis's family in the future.
I feel at ease leaving it to you. I hope you and your wife will be fine. And if Qing'er is really useless, then we can just separate him."
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan did not give a direct answer but advised: "Mother is not in good health, so don't worry about us. Just have a good rest."
After saying this, he stood up and asked the nanny to keep an eye on the old lady before walking out.
When she walked into the yard, she saw Marquis Jingyuan waiting for her under a tree.
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan acted as if she had not seen him.
Marquis Jingyuan followed a few steps ahead and asked, "What did your mother say to you?"
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan said, "Nothing."
After saying that, he took Mother Yin back to the yard.
Marquis Jingyuan watched her leave and said to the servant behind him, "Why is it that Madam is unwilling to speak to me properly now?"
The servant thought to himself, "You just found out. Ever since Madam came back, she's always been so lazy about paying attention to you. You must have just discovered it."
Jingyuan Hou said: "Why do you say that? You must tell the truth."
The servant had no choice but to say, "My Lord, how did you treat the Madam in the past? It's been so many years since they returned, and instead of comforting and making amends to the Crown Prince, you, at the instigation of Concubine Lu, allowed them to suffer so much."
The servant spoke more and more quietly.
After pondering for a moment, Marquis Jingyuan went towards Aunt Lu's courtyard.
As soon as the maid walked in and saw the Marquis, she was about to report to him, but Marquis Jingyuan ordered the servant to stop her.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard voices from inside.
Judging from the voices, they should be the voices of Aunt Lu and the maid Qingmei.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Wait a few days until the storm has passed and the Marquis has forgotten about this matter. By then, you will still be the most favored person in the Marquis's mansion. Isn't that what has been happening all these years?"
Aunt Lu said, "This time is different. This time Qing'er has gotten into a huge mess, and so many people saw it."
"I feel that the Marquis is really good to our aunt. My aunt and the Second Young Master are both dear to him. When the time comes, big things will definitely be reduced to small things. The Marquis will not let my aunt suffer."
"I hope so."
Marquis Jingyuan walked into the room with a cold face.
The maid left.
When Aunt Lu heard the footsteps, she started crying and her body was shaking.
After Marquis Jingyuan walked in, he did not coax her.
After a long time, Aunt Lu finally couldn't help but say, "My Lord, I know I was wrong today. Please don't be angry, okay? It's all my fault, so just punish me."
Marquis Jingyuan said coldly, "I've underestimated you all these years. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. Remember when I told you I would make sure you and your son have a worry-free life? But you're actually thinking about the Marquis' Mansion. So, you were the one who did all that before. Did you want to kill Madam and Yan'er so you could take over?"
Concubine Lu stopped crying and looked at Marquis Jingyuan and said, "This is for our own good. Qing'er is your son too, so why can't he be the Crown Prince? You said you doted on me, so why didn't you let my son be the Crown Prince? As soon as that bitch brought that brat back, you asked for him to be the Crown Prince. You keep saying all these nice things, saying that everything is for our own good, but do you know what we want?"
Jingyuan Hou looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly felt very strange, as if he had never known her before. Or maybe she had always been like this, and was just pretending to be like that in front of him. He was so stupid to believe her.
Marquis Jingyuan said, "Why? How dare you? You are a concubine, and you have raised such an unlearned child. He has always angered so many teachers. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to make him the crown prince. In what ways can you compare to Madam? In what ways can Qing'er compare to Yan'er?"
Aunt Lu couldn't help laughing and even cried when she heard this.
Marquis Jingyuan looked at him with an inexplicable smile and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Aunt Lu sneered and shouted, "What are those favors? Are they all fake?"
Marquis Jingyuan said, "It's true. I can dote on you, but I can't gamble the future of the Marquisate with you. I felt sorry for you and asked you to raise your own children. I thought you were good, but who knew you would have such ambitions."
Aunt Lu said, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault."
Aunt Lu rushed towards Marquis Jingyuan hysterically and started to beat him.
Marquis Jingyuan pushed Madam Lu directly and rudely, and she fell to the ground.
He walked out without even taking a look.
When he reached the door, he ordered his servant, "First, get it to the farm, and then..."
The servant nodded in astonishment.
The servant brought a group of people in and blocked Aunt Lu's mouth. Several maids pushed her to the back door.
A carriage was ready at the back door, and the two maids got on with her and left the city.
After hearing the news, Mother Yin hurried to the courtyard of the wife of Marquis Jingyuan.
Since they came back, they have planted spies in Aunt Lu's courtyard, so Mother Yin heard everything.
The wife of Marquis Jingyuan looked at the books in the courtyard and said, "The Marquis is truly cruel. I never thought he would do such a thing. However, I'm afraid that Lu's going to Zhuangzi was just an excuse. There won't be such a person again in the future."
Mother Yin looked at her worriedly: "Madam, I am worried about you?"
