Chapter 153 Kneel down
The Marquis, with his arm around the young maid, stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at the person and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
The maid who brought the news looked up at the Marquis and then said softly, "It is the Third Concubine's younger sister, Xiao Rongshi."
She's waiting outside right now..."
Fifth Aunt heard that Xiao Rongshi had arrived and was waiting outside her courtyard.
Her expression immediately changed.
Since she became pregnant, the Marquis has visited her only a handful of times each month.
I finally made this trip to her place, but I've only been here a short while.
The third aunt actually sent her sister to intercept them.
What can be endured and what cannot be endured.
Fifth Concubine said to the Marquis with dissatisfaction, "My lord, look at my sister."
You haven't been here long, and she's still confined to the hospital..."
Even this is not honest.
The Marquis released the maidservant and went to the Fifth Concubine.
He had one arm around his fifth concubine, and the other hand was touching her large, round belly.
"Alright, Die'er, she probably really has something to discuss with me, otherwise she wouldn't have come to you."
Sweetie, I'll come visit you again next time...
Hearing the Marquis's words, Fifth Concubine pretended to be angry.
"My lord, if I give birth to twins, don't forget the reward you promised me!"
The Marquis pinched her soft, tender skin. "Of course not."
"Just give birth to our child properly, and I promise I'll agree to your request."
Watching the Marquis's departing figure, Fifth Concubine scolded the little maid who had just left, "Kneel down..."
The reception room of the Marquis's residence.
"My lord, please, save my family and do good!"
Looking at the young Rong Shi, whose figure and appearance bore a resemblance to Rong Shi, the Marquis softened his heart.
"What exactly is going on?"
Seeing that the Marquis did not neglect her despite her sister being confined to her quarters.
Xiao Rong recounted in detail the crimes her husband had committed.
Upon hearing what Xiao Rongshi said, the Marquis's face darkened.
Deng Weishan's crime was no small matter; it was a capital offense, involving embezzling disaster relief funds and resulting in execution.
Besides, this case was investigated and closed by Ting'er, so he must know the ins and outs of it.
He held no official position and had no real power; how could he possibly help her?
He knew his limits when it came to the case his son had decided on.
If it's just a minor business matter, he can help.
He dared not tell his son about the embezzlement of disaster relief funds.
I can't help, and I shouldn't help.
The Marquis waved to her.
"Go back, I can't help you with this..."
Lady Rong knelt down and said, "My lord, please do me a favor!"
"As long as you talk to the Crown Prince, he will definitely find a way..."
Seeing her like this, the Marquis's face fell.
“Little Rong, although it was Ting’er who handled this case, it was the Emperor who ordered Deng Weishan to be imprisoned.”
"I can't help you with this."
Seeing the Marquis's heartless nature, Madam Rong felt extremely resentful.
Her elder brother sends a lot of money to the Marquis's mansion every year, but now she needs the Marquis's mansion's help.
But he rejected her.
It seems that if the eldest brother wants to rely on the Marquis's mansion, he's simply dreaming.
When Wu Weiwei returned to the manor, she happened to meet Xiao Rongshi, who was coming out of the Marquis's manor.
Seeing someone who used to be so arrogant now looking as dejected as if someone in their family had died.
Lingfu was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.
"Auntie, isn't that..."
From afar, Lingfu spotted Xiao Rongshi.
Wu Weiwei looked in the direction Ling Fu was pointing.
That's exactly right.
Xiao Rongshi looked ashen-faced and was helped out by her maid.
Upon seeing Wu Weiwei, Xiao Rongshi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Wu Weiwei".
He shouted those three words through gritted teeth.
"What a coincidence, Mrs. Deng."
The beauty smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Looking at Wu Weiwei's bright smile.
Then I thought back to the curse she had hurled at herself ten days earlier.
Suddenly, a surge of anger rose within Xiao Rong.
"Wu Weiwei, did you do this to my husband?"
She said that her family would have bad luck that day, and today Deng Weishan really did get into trouble.
What a coincidence!
Thinking of the Lady Hou's refusal to see him and the Marquis's indifference.
Could all of this be the result of Wu Weiwei whispering in the prince's ear and framing her husband?
Yes, this must have been done by Wu Weiwei.
Just because of her provocation that day, this vicious woman actually retaliated against herself and her husband.
Xiao Rongshi harbored deep hatred for Wu Weiwei.
At this moment, she wished she could drink her blood and gnaw on her flesh.
Wu Weiwei smiled.
She had heard about the major events that had occurred in the capital today.
She just said it.
It’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
Now that Deng Weishan has been imprisoned for embezzling disaster relief funds, this young Rong must have come to the Marquis's mansion seeking help.
Judging from her current distraught state, it seems she has nowhere else to turn for help.
Look at the vicious look in Xiao Rong's eyes.
Lingfu was afraid that she would be rude to her aunt, so she quickly stood in front of Wu Weiwei.
"Madam Deng, please don't block my aunt's way."
Although the entrance passage was not narrow, Xiao Rongshi deliberately blocked their way.
Xiao Rong stared intently at Wu Weiwei for a long time.
She only stepped aside when Lingfu was about to call for someone to drive them away.
But what people didn't expect is.
Just as Wu Weiwei was about to leave.
Suddenly, Xiao Rong leaned in and stood in front of her.
"Aunt Wu, please have mercy and don't hold a grudge against me, okay?"
"As long as you get the prince to release my husband, I can apologize to you, even if it's just kowtowing..."
Although the last thing she wanted in her life was to ask for Wu Weiwei.
But it's obvious that this was all a setup she orchestrated.
The purpose was probably to force himself to apologize to her.
You said you wanted to kowtow to me?
Wu Weiwei feigned surprise as she looked at her.
Judging from Wu Weiwei's words, is she really going to be asked to kowtow?
Xiao Rong bit her lower lip tightly.
If she were to kneel and beg today, the entire capital would likely become a laughingstock for her tomorrow.
However, she is now cornered and has no other choice.
After a while.
Then, Xiao Rongshi slowly knelt down in front of Wu Weiwei.
To think that she, the wife of a fourth-rank official, would kneel and kowtow to a lowly concubine today.
What a humiliation this is.
But that's all she can do now.
But she will definitely get her revenge later.
Many people witnessed the scene of Xiao Rong kneeling humbly before Wu Weiwei.
The servants felt relieved.
They were not unaware of what had happened at Meixiangyuan a few days ago.
Xiao Rongshi relied on her elder sister being the Marquis's favored concubine.
Every time they come, they don't treat their servants like human beings, ordering them around and scolding them at the drop of a hat.
It was as if the Marquis's mansion was her home.
The servants in the Marquis's mansion had long disliked her.
Seeing her being humiliated by Aunt Wu, Wu Weiwei felt that she had avenged them.
Aunt Wu is truly remarkable; even a powerful woman like Madam Rong has fallen to her.
He Yuyan happened to witness this scene when she returned from Yong'an Hall.
Shock was evident in her eyes.
"Ding, Dingxiang, this young Rongshi, she..."
