The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"Aunt, please show mercy! Aunt, I beg you, twenty strokes of the board will cripple me! Aunt, please take back your decision, just consider it as helping Shanshan!" Xu Shanshan rushed forward regardless of everything and hugged the old lady's thighs tightly, tears flowing like a dam bursting. Her voice choked as she begged the old lady to show mercy.

However, how could the old lady easily give up on such a shameful matter? Her face was terribly gloomy, her brows were knitted, her lips were tightly closed, and her eyes revealed an unshakable determination.

"Hmph!" The old lady used all her strength to throw Xu Shanshan away. Her tone was full of majesty and anger: "You are shameless. Do you want to make the entire Marquis' Mansion lose face? Drag him away and beat him severely!"

The old lady straightened up and stared at Xu Shanshan sternly. There was a hint of disappointment and pain in her voice: "Since you are my cousin's daughter, I have been tolerant of you. But you don't know what is good for you and have deceived me even more. Now, how can you beg me?" After saying that, the old lady turned her head away and no longer looked at Xu Shanshan.

"Aunt, Shanshan didn't lie to you! Shanshan treats my cousin wholeheartedly, but my cousin only has my wife in his heart. I...I...Aunt...please feel sorry for Shanshan! Please, aunt, please feel sorry for Shanshan!"

Hearing these words, Su Qing felt goose bumps all over her body. It was so disgusting! This person was really good at confusing right and wrong. The old lady might believe Xu Shanshan's words, but she knew clearly in her heart that the child in Xu Shanshan's belly was that servant's, so she didn't dare to give birth to it. If it was the Marquis's flesh and blood, she would definitely protect it with all her might!

Seeing that the old lady was not moved at all, Xu Shanshan turned around and lay down at Amelia Su's feet.

"Cousin, please, please, please ask my aunt for me, and help us! From now on, I will never appear in front of you again to bother you. It was all my fault before, please be magnanimous, don't bother with me, just treat me like a fart or a dead person, please help me!"

In the spacious courtyard, the board beat the servant's thin body mercilessly, and each time it hit him, there was a crisp sound. At this time, Xu Shanshan, who was in the house, listened to the servant's painful screams with horror on her face.

She was filled with fear and worry. On the one hand, she was afraid that she would suffer the same cruel punishment. After all, the stick was merciless and no one knew if she would be the next one to be beaten. On the other hand, she was more worried about the boy's physical condition, especially his lower body. If he was seriously injured, she might have to face the tragic fate of taking care of him and staying alone in the empty room for the rest of her life. This kind of widowhood life was definitely not something she was willing to accept.

Xu Shanshan's mood became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help but start thinking about how to avoid such misfortune. Maybe... threatening to die... the old lady would let her go for the sake of her mother?

While thinking, she took off the hairpin on her head and said, "Since my aunt can't help Shanshan, let Shanshan die to atone for her sin!"

Su Qing knew that Xu Shanshan didn't really want to die, she just wanted to use this to threaten the old lady!

Seeing that no one was moved, Xu Shanshan decided to take real action.

Xu Shanshan picked up the hairpin and stabbed it towards her neck without any hesitation.

Su Qing gave Rumei beside her a look, and Rumei stepped forward and kicked the hairpin away.

The old lady at the side was so scared that she clenched the corner of the table. She just wanted to teach Xu Shanshan a lesson, but she didn't really want to kill her. Fortunately, Rumei stopped her.

"What are you doing? Are you threatening me with death?"

"No~Aunt~Shanshan can only beg aunt, how can she threaten aunt? Then what should Shanshan do?" Xu Shanshan burst into tears and stopped talking, letting the tears flow.

Seeing this, the old lady felt a little bit reluctant. She had beaten and scolded her, but... just let her be!

"Madam Zhang, give her some money and send her and that servant back together! We won't have any more contact with each other in the future. I'm a little tired, Qing'er, help me to rest!"

"Aunt, please be a good person and give Shanshan a house!"
