Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 168 Grandma Saves Me
"Let's see who dares to touch Aunt Tian and the Third Miss!"
Just then, Tian's angry voice was heard from the yard.
"Auntie, help..."
"Grandma, help..."
Amid the calls of Aunt Tian and Liu Tian'er, Tian slowly walked into the room with the support of two maids.
Looking at Aunt Tian and Liu Tian'er who were being escorted by the servants, his face turned pale.
"Boss, you should know that you have been an official for these years, but you didn't expect that your power would grow bigger and bigger, and now it has even spread to your own home."
"Mom, things are not what you think..."
"I don't care. As long as I'm here, no one can touch Aunt Tian and Sister Ai."
"Mom, please don't be unreasonable. I did this to save my sister. If it were any later..."
Tian didn't give Liu Lanqi a chance to speak and interrupted her directly, "Since she got married, Sister Ai has suffered so much injustice, and you, as her father, have never stood up for her. Now that she has finally returned home, I wonder who dares to touch her."
"Grandma, you are the best to me in this world."
Liu Tian'ai broke free from the two maids who were controlling her and threw herself in front of Tian.
"Don't worry, my dear granddaughter. As long as I'm here, no one can touch you."
Aunt Tian also took the opportunity to break free from the control of the old woman and knelt in front of Tian.
"Auntie... wuwuwu... Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would not be able to protect my sister by myself."
Looking at Aunt Tian who was crying, Tian's eyes were full of heartache, but her eyes were fixed on Liu Lanqi.
"Boss, these are your woman and daughter, do you really want to watch them get hurt?"
"Mom, I don't want to do this either, but..."
Tian interrupted again in a deep voice, "I don't care. As long as I am here, no one is allowed to hurt Aunt Tian and Sister Ai."
Knowing that his mother was easily confused in the face of family affection, Liu Lanqi did not expect that she would not even give him a chance to speak.
The Liu family was built by Liu Lanqi after twenty years. As a superior, Liu Lanqi would not retreat even when facing his own mother. In fact, because of Tian's excessive protection, he no longer had the same sympathy for this cousin who he originally loved somewhat.
"Mother, the person investigating this matter now is the Queen Mother, and the Marquis's Mansion is even more certain that Sister Ai is a runaway concubine..."
At this point, Liu Lanqi raised a sneer at the corner of his lips, and without waiting for Tian to react, he said directly: "If Sister Ai is convicted of being a runaway concubine, the Marquis' Mansion can just find someone to beat her to death, and we will have nothing to say. The laws of Daliang will not hold the Marquis' Mansion responsible for anything."
Tian was shocked by Liu Lanqi's words, but she still said firmly: "How dare they! Sister Ai is the daughter of my Shangshu Mansion."
"He has already married into the Marquis's Mansion and is his concubine."
If the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion is really just an ordinary marquisate and Gu Jinyun is not dead, there is still room for change in the matter of Liu Tian'ai.
Who could have thought that the Queen Mother would leave the palace directly because Gu Jinyun was injured?
Now that the Empress Dowager is handling this matter, what does his Shangshu Mansion matter?
Maybe he won't even be able to keep the position mentioned above.
I have worked hard for more than 20 years to get to my current position, and I am thinking of waiting for two years before taking a further step.
Now everything has been ruined by his good daughter. As much as Liu Lanqi loved Liu Tian'ai before, he hates her now.
He just hated her because she was his beloved daughter for eighteen years. How could he bear to watch her lose her life at such a young age because of a trivial matter?
Although making Liu Tian'ai kneel at the gate of the palace would ruin her reputation, the Marquis' Mansion would no longer be able to punish her for being naughty, so at least she could save her life.
Of course, Liu Lanqi also wanted to use his daughter to create an image of being noble and upright, willing to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice. Perhaps he could not only keep his current official position, but also make further progress.
Liu Lanqi had a good idea, but his family members didn't cooperate at all.
Looking at his mother who was glaring at him, and then at Aunt Tian and Liu Tian'er who were kneeling on the ground crying, Liu Lanqi felt weak all over.
If this happened to Liu Tianshu or Lin, he wouldn't have to take the initiative to speak up, and these two people would make the most correct choice.
Look at the people in front of you again. Only with comparison can you find that a girl from a wealthy family is indeed much better than those daughters from small families.
You can't hit or scold your mother, and you can't lock her in the woodshed when you are angry.
Liu Lanqi took a deep breath, looked at Tian and said, "Mom, since you want to protect Sister Ai, I will risk my life to protect her."
Having said this, he paused for a moment. Without waiting for Tian to speak, Liu Lanqi said feebly, "Have someone pack up. I will use my current official position and everything in the mansion to exchange for Sister Ai'er's life. I hope the Queen Mother will let her go."
After Liu Lanqi finished speaking, he walked out the door resolutely.
Tian was shocked by Liu Lanqi's words and was completely dazed.
She had been an old lady for twenty years and could no longer live the poor life she had before.
When he saw Liu Lanqi leaving, he panicked and hurriedly chased after him.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Literally."
Liu Lanqi stopped in the yard and knelt respectfully in front of Tian.
"Mother, I am useless. I wanted you to enjoy a peaceful life in the second half of your life, but I didn't expect that I would disappoint you. From now on, I want you to accompany me back to the countryside to live the same life as before..."
"No."
When Tian thought of the hard days of eating coarse food and working in the fields every day, she turned pale with fright.
"Boss, is there no other way?"
"Mother, the young marquis was injured. The Queen Mother and Concubine Lan have both left the palace in person. The whole matter is now under the Queen Mother's investigation. As the person involved in the young marquis' injury, Sister Ai must be present."
Having said that, Liu Lanqi looked at Tian with a bitter face.
"Mother, even if I try my best, I may not be able to get the Queen Mother to let Sister Ai go. I can only try my best."
It took a long time for Tian to find his voice again.
"Isn't the young marquis alive? How could the matter be so serious?"
"Mother, although the young marquis is not in danger of death, he has lost half his life. My son asked Sister Ai to kneel at the gate of the palace and beg the Queen Mother for forgiveness. This is her only way to survive.
Sister Ai is my son’s most beloved daughter. If there were any other way, my son would not let her suffer this injustice.”
"That……"
Liu Tian'ai secretly looked out from the door and saw that Tian's attitude had softened. She was afraid that Tian would really agree, so she ran out of the house crying and knelt in front of Tian.
"Grandma, I can't go. I absolutely cannot kneel at the palace gate..."
