Dong Qing'er narrated with tears in her eyes, ”Don't make it sound like you think highly of me! You didn't even put a single thought on Qing Er! If you really feel sorry for Qing Er, then you won't let Qing Er carry the title of the Master Hou's concubine for so many years without being able to make a name for herself! [Do you know that I am still a virgin!] I am just a mere concubine of the Zhen Yuan Marquis. I am unable to please the Marquis and I have no son. How many years can you take me into your care? When you stretch your legs, there will no longer be a place for a chambermaid like me in Zhenyuan Mansion! ”Tell me, what's wrong with me finding a backer for myself a few years in advance?
Old Madam Jun was completely speechless after Dong Qing Er's words, and she couldn't think of any words to refute her. Yes, everything Dong Qing Er said was the truth. Even if these things didn't happen, even if Dong Qing Er kept her word, she definitely couldn't let a little girl sit on the position of Madam Huang!
When Guan Xiaoyu had been able to enter the house of the Marquis as an ugly, silly, and paralyzed servant, who said it wasn't a miracle?! If it wasn't by chance, if it wasn't for them firmly believing in the words of the Master Purified Disc, how would they have been able to create a legend like 'The Marquis has married an ugly idiot', making the Zhenyuan Marquis the laughingstock of the entire continent!
Madam Jun looked at Dong Qing Er apologetically, but that was only for an instant! In the blink of an eye, the Old Madam Jun's expression changed back to her prideful and dignified appearance, and she spoke with an unyielding tone, ”Qing'er, your mistake was because your heart was too high and you wanted too much! The position of Madam Huang of the Zhen Yuan Marquis is not something that a mere servant can imagine. For you to fall into such a situation today, you can only blame yourself for doing so! ”
Dong Qing'er could not help but sneer when she saw how heartless the Old Madam Jun was. ”So you're saying that you're not going to let Qing Er off? Hahaha! How could I have fantasies about a cold-blooded woman like you! ”Since that's the case, you can do whatever you want if you want to kill me!”
Old man Jun sighed, but in the end, his heart softened. He turned to look at Ninth Master and asked for Dong Qing Er's love for him, ”Ninth Master, although Dong Qing Er almost caused a huge disaster, but she was found to be in time. Look, if she admits her crimes, can you spare her death?”
Ninth Master nodded, ”Of course, as long as she has a good attitude, we can appeal to the officials for mercy! Furthermore, even though she had almost committed a grave sin, a great disaster has yet to occur. Although her actions are malicious, she should not be punished.
Old Madam Jun then turned to look at Dong Qing Er and asked, ”Qing Er, Grandmother Ming Lu has already pointed one out for you. Let's see how you choose then!” ”Don't resent your granny. If you want to hate her, then hate the fact that you gave birth to the wrong person!”
Since Old Madam Jun had already said this much, Dong Qing Er knew that this was the last bit of kindness he would show her. At that moment, she did not care about his feelings and sensibly told him about her collusion with Xi Men He.
”Ninth Master” ordered people to record it down on the spot and show it to her. He had her draw up a bet on the spot.
With all crimes decided, 'Ninth Master' came to her side and said in an exceptionally calm voice, ”Madam Dong, although you don't deserve to be sentenced to death, you can avoid the death penalty. Just follow me to court!”
Dong Qing Er's face was ashen, but she was not dispirited for long. After all, she had still managed to survive. As the saying goes, 'there's still a mountain to be kept, and there's nothing to fear!'
”Haha, Ninth Master, why are you so anxious? Can a weak girl like me even run away? Ninth Master, you also have a sister or sister, right? Can't we just allow this little girl to go back to her own courtyard to clean up? ” After Dong Qing Er confessed, she calmed down and started to plan for her future.
Ninth Master wasn't an unreasonable person, so he personally escorted her back to her former residence.
They left quickly enough, and no one dared to deal with the corpses of Xi Men He and the rest with the permission of the relevant personnel. Thus, they were left there in such a cold weather, which made people astonished.
Dong Qing Er's eyesight was extremely sharp. Even though the corpses were terrifying, she was still able to recognize the body of Xi Men He with one glance. Instantly, her face filled with anger, she pointed her straw hat at Ninth Master and said, ”You lied to me!”
Ninth Master said in a relaxed manner, ”Madam Dong, what do you mean by that? This humble one never said from the beginning to the end that Xi Men He is still alive, it's just that you were fooled by your own intelligence! ”
Dong Qing'er said angrily, ”Then where did you get that blood-stained confession!?”
When Ninth Master heard her ask such a silly question, he was in a very good mood. He laughed so hard that he seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. ”Madam Dong, you're not a little girl who has just stepped out of the martial arts world. How come you don't know about the principle of 'not being greedy for weapons'?”
With that, Dong Qing'er understood what was going on. So this was all planned by the Ninth Lord! First, he let the Old Madam Jun use some tricks to stall her, then he would take action against Xi Men He. Once he had dealt with Xi Men He, he would make use of her nervousness in the event of an incident to uncover the ironclad evidence of her colluding with foreign enemies and harming the Marquis' Mansion!
Dong Qing Er suddenly burst out laughing, ”Hahaha …” Ninth Master, your strategy is brilliant! This little girl is completely convinced that she will lose to you! You don't need to send me to see some officials, do you have any white silk? Or poison wine? I guess Nine must have it, right? Ninth Master, I, Dong Qing Er, am also a person who cares about face. I only beg that I die with dignity, so, give me either the white silk or the poison wine, and treat it as a gift of friendship, okay? ”
Ninth Master was stunned, he did not expect Dong Qing Er to be a dignified girl. It was a common thing for a soldier to be victorious or lose. Since they had failed, they had to admit their defeat. What was the point in continuing to live on!
