LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 52 Nowhere to turn
Madam Qi could only lie on the ground and beg for mercy, "Madam, I know that all the mistakes were made by Hongyu.
Please don't forgive me, please remember that I have been loyally serving the Madam for many years.
This old servant only has this one niece who is waiting for her to take care of him in his old age. I beg Madam to show some leniency to me."
Haiyun, who was standing aside, looked at Aunt Qi sarcastically. He really didn't know where she got such a big face.
Nanny Xia was the dowry of the Dowager Lady. She grew up with the Dowager Lady but couldn't ask her for leniency, let alone Nanny Qi.
Sure enough, when the Madam heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "Your niece dared to plot against the mistress behind her back. It's obvious that she has evil intentions.
Last time, she made a mistake because of Chen Youfu, and I wanted to kick her out of the house. It was you who begged me to send her to the kitchen.
But is this how you repay me?
If she dares to make up stories about Lu Chenshuang today, she will dare to make up stories about me tomorrow.
Let's wait and see the result of the trial in Jingzhao Prefecture. If she really framed me, she deserves to be beaten to death."
After hearing what the old lady said, Madam Qi collapsed to the ground. She should have known what kind of person the old lady was and should not have had any expectations at all.
But Hongyu is her only niece. She has no children in her life and is counting on this child. If she dies, who can she count on when she is old?
She really wanted to beg Lu Chenshuang, but she didn't dare.
Now, all the servants in the mansion are trembling with fear when they mention Lu Chenshuang.
Nanny Qi came out of the lady's room in a daze. After being confused for a while, she returned to her room, took out all the savings and jewelry she had accumulated for half her life, then left Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and went straight to the Jingzhao government office.
Lu Chenshuang had nothing to do after dinner, so she called Xiaoman over.
Xiaoman had rested for an hour and was almost done. When she heard Lu Chenshuang was looking for her, she hurried over.
Xiao Man asked, "Miss, do you have any instructions for me?"
Lu Chenshuang said, "Yesterday's incident was all thanks to Laibao's report. Go and give him twenty taels of silver. Do it quietly so no one sees you."
Xiaoman quickly agreed upon hearing this, and then said, "I asked Laibao yesterday, and he said that it was Sister Haiyun who asked him to go. Should we also send something to Sister Haiyun?"
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Why don't you feel bad about the money now?"
Lu Chenshuang remembered that when she tried to win over Haiyun some time ago, Xiaoman still despised Haiyun for accepting the favor without doing anything.
Xiaoman was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "I didn't expect Sister Haiyun to really help us, did I?"
Lu Chenshuang did not expose her, but just shook her head and said: "Haiyun's place is not needed for the time being. The Madam is very angry recently and can't find a place to vent her anger.
If you send something to Haiyun at this time and the news reaches the ears of the Madam, will Haiyun still have a good life? "
Xiaoman felt that what Lu Chenshuang said made a lot of sense. A girl is a girl, and she could never think so thoroughly anyway.
But the girl said that if she didn't understand, she should ask more questions, so Xiaoman asked again: "What is Miss Haiyue going to do about it? She ruined your reputation in public."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Don't worry about her, the slap she received yesterday was no lighter than Gu Yu's.
And I still have some use for her."
Xiaoman gave up after hearing this.
Lu Chenshuang looked at her and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Xiaoman shook her head. The girls had their own ideas and it was no use for her to worry about them.
Seeing that she had no problem, Lu Chenshuang said again: "In this case, you can go out of the house again and go to Baicaotang to find Doctor Yang and ask him to help me with something.
He has lived in the capital for a long time, so he must know where there are good houses for sale. Let him help keep an eye out for them."
Xiaoman knew that Lu Chenshuang was planning to divorce Jing Zhaoyan, and they would definitely need a place to live after the divorce.
Originally, Lu Chenshuang planned to go out several times to look for houses, but once she left the house, she would encounter various situations, most of which were emergency patients, so the matter of buying a house was put on hold.
Now Xiaoman quickly agreed when she heard Lu Chenshuang's words, but she still had to ask clearly what kind of house the girl wanted.
Lu Chenshuang thought for a while and said, "Let's have a two-story courtyard. It's big enough for us to live in. Of course, a three-story courtyard is also fine if there's something suitable.
After we buy the house, we will hire some servants. Then you and Guyu will be the housekeepers, and you can show off your stewardship."
I have to say that Lu Chenshuang's big picture is quite tempting. Xiaoman thought the picture was too beautiful and went there happily.
Besides, Nanny Qi came all the way to the Jingzhao government office with the silver.
She wanted to go in and see Hongyu, or at least spend some money to bribe her so that Hongyu could suffer less.
But despite all her efforts, she was not even able to enter the jail cell of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
Just when Aunt Qi was in despair, she saw an acquaintance who was her fellow villager.
Aunt Qi rushed forward as if she had seen a savior and shouted, "Qi Qi, do you still remember me?"
The man named Qi Quan turned around and looked at Aunt Qi after hearing what she said. It took him a while to react. He slapped his forehead and said, "You must be Sister Jin Zhen."
Aunt Qi's maiden name was Qi Jinzhen. She was from the same village as Qi Quan when they were young, but she was a few years older than Qi Quan.
Later, Nanny Qi was sold to the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion by her mother.
Qi Quan's family later moved away from their original village because they ran some small businesses.
Old friends were particularly enthusiastic when they met. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qi Quan asked, "Sister Jinzhen, why are you here? The prison in Jingzhao Prefecture is not a good place."
Aunt Qi wiped her tears and recounted what had happened.
Of course, in her words, Hongyu was just a loyal servant who was devoted to Jingyang Marquis Mansion and was also worried about the reputation of Jingyang Marquis Mansion, so she wronged Lu Chenshuang.
However, Lu Chenshuang not only cut off Qi Hongyu's tongue, but also sent her to prison. It is still unknown whether she is dead or alive.
Qi Quan had heard of this incident, but the version he heard was completely different from what Nanny Qi told him.
Moreover, this matter also involves Captain Liang. Captain Liang is a close confidant of their Lord Gao. His superiors have given instructions that he does not need to be polite to Qi Hongyu.
And no one is allowed to visit the prison.
Seeing Qi Quan's embarrassment, Aunt Qi knelt on the ground and said, "Qi Quan, please help my sister. I only have this one niece. I will remember your kindness in my heart. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
As he said this, he stuffed a piece of silver into Qi Quan's hand. Qi Quan weighed it and found it was about ten taels.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll help you this time for our past friendship, but you must keep your words short and just take a look before leaving."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qi thanked Qi Quan again and then followed him into the prison of the Jingzhao government office.
