Chapter 152 Everyone gets what they need
Seeing her husband looking utterly ashamed.
Xiao Rong then remembered that he had told her to go to No. 12 Liutong Lane to find this woman named Liu.
He immediately thought of the good things he had done behind his back.
Well, Deng Weishan, he actually dared to keep a vixen on the side behind her back.
That's truly remarkable.
He was spending her money and climbing the social ladder by taking advantage of the expensive path the Rong family had paved for him, yet he dared to do something to betray her.
Xiao Rong glared at him, her eyes looking as if she wanted to devour him.
As Deng Weishan watched, his extreme guilt only fueled his growing righteousness.
“Ms. Rong, as my wife, you also raised my daughter.”
If you don't listen to me and rescue me today, do you think you'll have a good ending?
You know your elder brother Rong Sheng's character; if I don't get away with it...
Do you think your family will still treat you well?
Rong Shi probably knew better than he did what kind of person her elder brother, Rong Sheng, was.
As Xiao Rong listened to her husband's words, she also thought about her elder brother's character.
I know perfectly well what's going on in my mind.
She and her sister were not born of the same mother as Rong Sheng, the head of the Rong family.
It was simply because they were adopted by the matriarch when they were young.
The eldest brother is profit-driven; he won't waste his energy investing in people who have no value to him.
A merchant, and one who even rose to the position of imperial merchant.
He is definitely not a kind person with overflowing compassion.
If Deng Weishan were executed by the emperor today...
I'm afraid that she and her two daughters will also suffer the same fate.
Just look at her sister's current situation in the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion to know.
If it weren't for the living advertisement of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, my sister would have been punished with three years of confinement.
I'm afraid even her older brother could abandon her, let alone her.
She'll swallow her anger for now and settle the score with Deng Weishan later once she's rescued him.
"Deng Weishan, the only reason I agreed to save you today is because you are the father of my two daughters."
Of course, I have one condition before I save you.
"After you get out, you must sell that vixen surnamed Liu to me, understand?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"As long as my wife can rescue me, I'll do anything you ask from now on..."
Deng Weishan readily agreed on the surface.
Whether or not they sell themselves after they're released is entirely up to them.
At that time, he only needs to find another house for Liu, and she will naturally be able to live a comfortable life of keeping a mistress in a golden house.
Seeing that Deng Weishan had agreed, Xiao Rong snorted coldly.
He walked out of the cell with his head held high like a peacock, looking arrogant.
Dingguohou Mansion.
At this moment, Lady Hou was having tea and chatting with the eldest daughter of the Xie family in the garden.
After several days of treatment, Xie Ningxin's facial acne has subsided somewhat.
But because she didn't want to scare people, she still wore a veil when she was out.
Dingxiang had reminded He Yuyan about her eagerness to visit Qiushui Pavilion.
Tell her to be careful of Miss Xie.
He Yuyan had also tested Xie Ningxin.
However, Xie Ningxin told herself...
The reason she cultivated a good relationship with the Lady of the Marquis was because she was currently staying at the Marquis's residence.
Moreover, she did this in order to ease the tension between Qiu Xinyuan and Qiushui Pavilion.
If the Lady of the Marquis liked her, she would speak well of He Yuyan in front of her, so that the Lady of the Marquis would change her opinion of her.
Dingxiang naturally didn't believe Xie Ningxin's words.
Of course, He Yuyan didn't believe it either.
However, since she hasn't done anything strange so far, He Yuyan is too lazy to bother with her affairs.
Xie Ningxin promised her that if she could cure her.
At that time, it will not only help her win over the noble ladies in the capital, but also get the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict.
They drove away all the prostitutes from her Wei Garden, and both sides got what they wanted.
Did Xie Ningxin really think she didn't know the real purpose behind Xie Ningxin's attempt to curry favor with the Lady Hou?
He Yuyan sneered inwardly.
Don't assume that just because her facial acne has healed, she'll have a chance.
You should know that the Crown Prince would never even look at her.
Just think about the fates of the two maids beside Consort Wu in the Marquis's mansion and Qingrou, and you'll know that the young master is not easy to seduce.
So, will Xie Ningxin succeed?
That's almost impossible.
Thinking of Wu Weiwei again was only when she was away.
She took advantage of the prince's drunkenness to seduce him successfully.
Otherwise, given the prince's feelings for her, she would have had no chance of succeeding.
A lowly, uncouth maid.
She really got off easy.
Whenever He Yuyan thought about this, a string of regret would faintly throb in her heart.
If she hadn't fled the Marquis's mansion back then, Wu Weiwei probably wouldn't exist today.
"Madam Hou, Lady Rong has something to ask of you!"
The maidservant stepped forward to report.
"Xiao Rongshi?"
Why is she asking to see me?
"Madam, I heard that Xiao Rongshi's husband, Deng Weishan, has been imprisoned by His Majesty."
She's probably here to plead with you...
Granny Qiu reminded her from the side.
Xie Ningxin sipped her tea gracefully, glancing indifferently at the maid who had come to report.
Granny Mei's words made Lady Hou frown slightly.
"not see."
How dare this little Rong woman come to her for help? Does she really think she's an easy target?
Rong challenged his authority several times.
It would be strange if she really helped Xiao Rongshi.
Upon hearing Liu's words, the young maidservant quickly withdrew.
When the maidservant came out, the young Rongshi, who was waiting outside, asked, "What did the Lady of the Marquis say?"
The maidservant said timidly, "Madam Deng, our lady is entertaining guests and has no time to see you."
Upon hearing that Liu was not going to see her, Xiao Rong immediately understood.
The reason she sought an audience with the Lady of the Marquis was simply because the Lady of the Marquis was the birth mother of the heir apparent.
It's better to ask the Marquis's wife than the Marquis himself.
But to my surprise, she didn't give her any face at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong left indignantly.
Lotus Fragrance Courtyard.
Fifth Concubine Nian was heavily pregnant, while the Marquis was enjoying a tender massage from his pretty little maid.
Seeing the Marquis's expression of enjoyment, Lady Nian sneered inwardly.
Now that I'm heavily pregnant and unable to take care of her, I have no other choice but to resort to this drastic measure.
"My lord, I am due to give birth at the end of the month, and my mother has already arranged a midwife for me."
"Could I bring them into the manor ahead of time?"
The doctor said there's a high chance she'll have twins, a boy and a girl.
She was only worried about something going wrong, so it was best to prepare early.
"Didn't Aunt Ping already find a midwife for you? Why do you still need to invite one from outside?"
Fifth Aunt said with an unnatural expression, "The doctor said that I am very likely to have a difficult birth this time."
The midwife my mother found for me was very experienced, so…”
When she gave birth to her daughter last time, it was because the Marquis told her to have Consort Ping find a husband for her, but she almost died in childbirth.
This time, we absolutely cannot take her back.
"My lord, please grant our concubine's wish!"
"Look how difficult it was for her, carrying twins and bearing children for you, my lord..."
The charming maid's sweet voice rang out, and the Marquis felt his heart melt.
"Very well, as you wish, then let your mother bring the person in!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Fifth Aunt watched the two interact intimately and said sullenly.
Back when she was still a leading lady on the stage, the Marquis never failed to fulfill her every request.
Unexpectedly, even such a small request was accomplished by her little maid.
Fifth Aunt glanced at the little maid.
That little slut, wait until she gives birth and then I'll see how I deal with her.
Just as the Marquis was about to enter the inner room with his young maid, a maid hurriedly came in to report.
"My lord, Lady Deng, the wife of the fourth-rank governor of Zhongzhou, requests an audience!"
