Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 113

Having confronted Shen Lingjun several times, she now knows that this shameless woman is reckless and doesn't care about the reputation of the Marquis's mansion at all!

As long as she has a breath left, Shen Lingjun will definitely seek justice for Qin Chuyao, but unfortunately, they can't do anything to her right now!

Old Mrs. Qin was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around and angrily shouted at Granny Wei:

"Who gave you such audacity to poison the young master of the Marquis's mansion! What did Yao-ge do to offend you that you want to kill him?"

While cursing, she desperately tried to wink at Granny Wei.

Given the current situation, it's impossible to gloss over it; the only option is to shift all the blame onto Granny Wei.

For the sake of her reputation, it was necessary to sacrifice Granny Wei.

Granny Wei immediately understood what Old Madam Qin meant, and her eyes reddened and welled up with tears.

She had served Old Madam Qin for most of her life. Of course, Old Madam Qin was not a very good mistress, and her feelings for Old Madam Qin were limited. But the key point was that the indentures of her entire family were in Old Madam Qin's hands.

She had absolutely no choice.

Granny Wei had no choice but to make up a reason and began to beg for mercy while crying:

"It was a moment of folly on my part! I watched the eldest young master grow up since he was a child, and I treated him like my own grandson. Seeing him lose his position as heir apparent, I was heartbroken! I don't know where I got the audacity to plot against the second young master! I deserve to die! This was all my doing, and it has nothing to do with the old lady! You can punish me if you want!"

As she spoke, Granny Wei kept kowtowing and begging.

Old Mrs. Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then put on a pained expression and gave Granny Wei a good scolding.

Then he stopped and turned to Shen Lingjun.

"Now that Granny Wei has confessed, the truth of this matter has come to light, right? It's also my fault for not disciplining my servants properly. I never knew Granny Wei was so audacious. This was my oversight."

When Old Mrs. Qin said this, she was secretly gritting her teeth.

For a mother-in-law to take the initiative to bow her head and admit her mistake to her daughter-in-law is an utter disgrace; she has completely lost face!

This slut should be content now, shouldn't she shut up?

Shen Lingjun did not respond to Old Madam Qin, but simply said, "Since you have confessed and you are unwilling to send them to the Ministry of Justice, then you can deal with them yourselves."

She said, word by word, "As a servant, attempting to poison one's master is a crime punishable by death. He should... be beaten to death on the spot!"

"you!......"

Grandma Qin almost jumped up.

She had originally intended to punish Granny Wei severely. Since Granny Wei had taken the blame for her, she had to protect her. Firstly, she didn't want to lose this right-hand woman, and secondly, if Granny Wei were executed like this, wouldn't the servants all lose heart and be unwilling to take the blame for her in the future?

Old Madam Qin argued, "Granny Wei has served me for many years and has made many contributions. Now that Yao-ge'er is alright, there's no need to execute her. I think giving her fifty lashes and kicking her out of the manor would be enough, so as not to be seen as our Marquis's manor being too ruthless and heartless."

Fifty strokes of the cane, as long as the punishment is rigged, will not cause serious injury. Even if he is expelled from the manor, he can still be of use to her in the future.

Shen Lingjun looked at Qin Shaoze with a mocking expression.

“My lord, I had no idea that in this manor, a servant who poisoned his master would be dealt with so lightly. If this is the usual practice in the manor, then it is truly worthwhile for me to spread this far and wide. Everyone will surely praise the manor for its magnanimity and skillful management of its household.”

Qin Shaoze's temples throbbed with pain.

If this gets out, what will happen?

He declared resolutely, "No matter how lenient the Marquis's mansion is, it cannot tolerate a servant murdering her master. Granny Wei deserves to die. Guards, beat her to death on the spot!"

He was truly amazed by Old Madam Qin; at a time like this, she still thought she could easily protect Granny Wei.

How could they possibly shut Shen Lingjun up without making some sacrifices!

Two servants immediately came up, dragged Granny Wei onto a long bench, and began to beat her mercilessly.

Granny Wei's screams immediately echoed throughout the entire front yard.

Old Mrs. Qin was furious, watching helplessly as her left and right arms were severed, yet she was powerless to stop it.

Anger, resentment, unwillingness, helplessness... all sorts of emotions surged up at once, causing her whole body to tremble violently, and the veins on her forehead to bulge.

Granny Wei was quickly beaten until she was a bloody mess, unrecognizable, with blood flowing all over the ground.

With the final, heavy blow, she fell off the bench, half of her body smashed to pieces. Her eyes, bloodshot and bright red, stared wide-eyed in the direction of Old Mrs. Qin, her death unending.

Seeing the shockingly bloody scene, Old Mrs. Qin felt her stomach churning. She couldn't catch her breath, and everything went black before her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground!
