15 Hidden (2/2)
'Hah! Continue and beg... no matter what you do, your fate has been sealed.'
In her previous lifetime, Housekeeper Wang played a huge role in staining her name. Although her life was spared since she was able to hide herself away from those men, her reputation took all the hit and reached the bottom. Aside from that, the years she spent in Lu Shan felt like she was living in hell.
Now that it was Housekeeper Wang's turn to grovel beneath her, how can XuanRong back down and forgive him?
N-E-V-E-R.
Not an ounce of pity could be seen in her eyes.
”You are not a free folk. You are nothing but a slave that was bought and was groomed to be a servant. According to Qian Zou's law, your children should also bear the standing of a slave and should be working under XiangFu. How come your son was living like a noble man in a distant village near Lu Shan? Hah! You dare hide his existence! What a good slave! You dare and deceive Er Niang[5] and the whole Xuan Family? Embezzling money from the treasury and shop, hiding your son to avoid the status of a servant and bullying the master... Housekeeper Wang ah, don't you know that all of your crimes are punishable to death?”
Housekeeper Wang could only kowtow repeatedly.
”This old servant is willing to accept Da XiaoJie's punishment, but this old servant hopes that Da XiaoJie will be magnanimous enough to let Jue'er go. This old servant is willing to do everything.”
Housekeeper Wang truly loved his only son. When he was young, he raped a poor maiden and impregnated her. After the poor maiden died due to childbirth, he bribed someone to hide and take good care of his son. He raised him using the money from the manor, away from the status of a slave. That was the reason why his son, Jue'er, was living like a noble man.
Having a status of a Young Lord from a small village into a lowly slave of Xuan Family, working day and night in XiangFu in a blink of an eye... how could his son withstand the massive blow?
”Let him go? Someone like him who loves to terrorize the poor villagers, who harasses females with lowly background and rapes poor maiden against their will--- tell me Housekeeper Wang, is your son a human or a demon?”
XuanRong hated those kinds of scumbags who only thought of their lower half. Being a subject of humiliation in her previous life, XuanRong pitied those women who fell under Wang Min Jue's hands. A dirty scum like him should not live any longer and pollute the world.
Housekeeper Wang swallowed his arrogance and continued to kowtow in front of XuanRong, dyeing the floor red with his blood.
”Asking forgiveness and mercy is already useless. I gave you a rope to hold onto, but you cut it like a righteous person. Ah! That's right, you asked where would This Lady get the money to sustain the manor? Well, since you and your son colluded with each other and embezzled a huge amount of money for years, This Lady will not be polite and will seize everything you have stolen from this manor. You and your son will rot in jail. Don't worry, This Lady will not separate both of you, consider this as my parting gift and your son's filial piety.”
”No!! Da XiaoJie----!!!” Before Housekeeper Wang could finish his plea, Zou mama's voice rang outside the outer room of the courtyard.
”Da XiaoJie, this is Zou mama. Magistrate Fu's subordinates are here to arrest Housekeeper Wang.”
