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

Chapter 332 No One Can Stay

Xu Shanshan's actions once again refreshed Su Qing's perception of her. On what basis did Xu Shanshan plead with the old lady? This was simply drawing a nose on a blank piece of paper - what a big face! How could she have the nerve to make such an excessive request?

"Hmph! You are so shameless. Don't push your luck!" After the old lady said this, she left with Su Qing.

At this time, Xu Shanshan felt extremely confused. She didn't know how she was going to live. If her mother knew that she had done such a thing, she would definitely kick her out of the house without hesitation. Thinking of this, Xu Shanshan's heart was filled with fear and helplessness.

The boy in the yard had been beaten unconscious and was covered in blood.

Xu Shanshan stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face. She regretted it deeply, but now that things had come to this, she could only face reality.

At this moment, a carriage stopped at the door. A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes came down. She was Xu Shanshan's mother. When Xu's mother saw the miserable scene in the yard, her face changed drastically. When she learned what happened, she was so angry that she trembled all over.

"You useless thing! How could I have such a shameless daughter like you!" Mother Xu raised her hand, ready to slap Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan was so scared that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. She hugged Xu's mother's legs and cried bitterly.

Xu's mother sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's go back first." She turned around and ordered the servants to send the injured boy to the hospital for treatment.

Xu's mother came half a month ago. When Xu Shanshan was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion because of her pregnancy, she wrote a letter to Xu's mother, saying that she was pregnant and asked Xu's mother to take care of her.

Now that Xu's mother saw this scene and knew what had happened, she was too embarrassed to go see Madam Hou, so she took Xu Shanshan and the servant away.

After Su Qing and the old lady returned to the room, she carefully helped the old lady lie down on the bed and carefully covered her with a quilt so that she could rest as comfortably as possible.

"Mother, please don't be angry. Take a good rest. Resting your body is the most important thing. I'll go to Jishidiang to get some medicine for you." Su Qing tucked in the quilt gently, then turned around and prepared to leave the room.

However, just as she reached the door, the old lady suddenly called her: "Wait a minute!"

Su Qing stopped and looked back at the old lady, only to see that the old lady had not opened her eyes and seemed to be still immersed in her own thoughts.

"Are you also involved in this matter?" Although the old lady's voice was weak, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Su Qing's heart tightened. She didn't understand why the old lady asked this, but she still answered respectfully: "Mother, why do you ask this?"

The old lady slowly opened her eyes and stared at Su Qing sharply, as if she wanted to see through her eyes to see her innermost thoughts.

"You took me to the garden, but chose to stop at the rockery. Don't you have ulterior motives? How long are you going to hide this from me?" The old lady's tone became increasingly severe.

Su Qing was shocked. She didn't expect the old lady to be so sharp and guess her intention at once. But she immediately calmed down and decided to continue to hide the truth.

"Mother, I really don't know what you are talking about. I just think the air in the garden is fresh, and I want you to go and relax. As for staying at the rockery, it was just a coincidence. Please believe me, mother." Su Qing's voice trembled a little, but she tried to make herself appear calm and firm.

"Mother, I am really wronged! If I knew, wouldn't I have dealt with them myself? At the very least, I would have led the Marquis there. How could I have let you see those things? I know that you have never liked me, and I don't ask for too much. I just hope that you don't wrongly accuse me and think of me with a normal mind."

Madam Hou thought about it and felt that Su Qing was right and could not find fault with her. She could handle the matter by herself and did not have to deal with Xu Shanshan herself.

"It's good that you didn't participate. Go ahead and come back later!"

"Yes." Su Qing stood up and walked out.

After Su Qing left, the old lady asked someone to call over Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang hurried over. She had just gone to deal with Xu Shanshan's matter. She sent the old lady into the room and went to do her business.

"Madam, you called me?"

"Madam Zhang, how many years have you been with me?"

"Why did you suddenly ask this, old lady? I have been with you since I was a child. It has been fifty years now!"

"What do you think of what happened today? Tell the truth!"

"Old lady, now that things have been handled, you don't have to worry about it! I have already arranged for those servants in the garden to go to the farm. My son Xiaoyu will escort them personally. Once we leave the city, they will be..." Madam Zhang made a gesture of wiping her neck.

"Don't worry. The people who stayed behind are all family children or some servants around the Madam. I have checked them all. Some are the Marquis's secret guards, and some are the Madam's confidants. This kind of thing can't be spread out."

"You old thing, I didn't know you were so thoughtful. All right! All right! No one can be left alive. The reputation of the Marquis's mansion is the most important. You are lucky that there are no dirty things in your family."

"Madam, every family has its own problems. Just let me take care of it! You should just enjoy your retirement in peace."
