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

Chapter 330 Unexpected

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Nanny Zhang and Su Qing carefully helped the old lady back to the yard, and then a group of servants brought Xu Shanshan and the boy to the old lady.

"Well, you two are really bold?" The old lady looked at them with dignity and said in a frighteningly stern voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Shanshan's eyes rolled around, and she thought to herself, "Now that things have come to this, no matter how much I try to explain, it will be useless. I might as well just ask the old lady for help. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope..."

Thinking of this, she immediately put on a pitiful look and said in a delicate voice: "Aunt, please do the decision for me! This is all the servant's fault. He coveted my beauty and forced himself on me when I was unprepared. Woo woo woo... I am really wronged! But... since things have come to this, why don't you, aunt..." Before she could finish the word "help me", she was interrupted by the servant.

The servant suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed hard, and shouted, "Old Madam, please understand! It's all my fault. I was bewildered. Seeing Aunt Xu crying all day long, I couldn't bear it, so I had such a dirty idea and forced Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu was not willing at all! It's all my fault. Please punish me severely, Old Madam! I am willing to die to apologize." After that, there was another round of kowtows, and his forehead was bleeding.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the old lady couldn't help but frown. She knew that this matter must not be that simple, but it was difficult to tell who was telling the truth. At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind...

The servant standing by knew clearly that he loved Concubine Xu. Firstly, protecting her would make his family's life easier in the second half of their lives. Secondly, he did not want his beloved to suffer any grievances. The old lady would definitely make a decision anyway, so he might as well bear the consequences himself.

Xu Shanshan looked at the young servant in front of her who was risking his life to protect her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then turned around and knelt down in front of her aunt who was sitting in the hall, and said firmly: "Aunt, please help us! This boy and I are really in love. Since my cousin got married, he has ignored me and even stopped stepping into my room. Now, I would rather stay alone in an empty room than live in such a humiliating way. I beg you to understand my difficulties and let me be with the boy!"

After that, Xu Shanshan kowtowed three times to express her sincerity and determination. She knew that her request might cause an uproar, but she was ready to face all difficulties. As long as she could be with her beloved, she would never back down no matter how many obstacles there were ahead.

"What?" Not only the old lady was surprised, Su Qing also didn't expect Xu Shanshan to sing such a song!

Su Qing thought Xu Shanshan would push it to the servant and continue to ask the old lady to stay! She never expected that she would actually ask the old lady to help her and the servant. It seems that the servant served her well! It's really unexpected! But this ending is also good for her, she is smart enough.

"Shanshan, do you know what you are saying? You actually want me to help you and a slave?"

"Auntie, you heard me right. I don't care about his background. If you can help me, Shanshan will be grateful to you for your kindness for the rest of her life."

"You...you are a young lady from a Qingbai family. What kind of magic potion did this slave give you to make you want to have sex with him in broad daylight? Let me ask you, was your previous child also born by this slave?"

"No, aunt, the child is not yours. The child belongs to the Marquis." No one is stupid, how could anyone admit it?

The servant also echoed, "Old Madam, please be clear, the child is indeed the Marquis's. I just had the intention but not the courage to do it before!"

"Then how come you have the guts and the courage to do such a thief? Who gave you the courage? How dare you covet the master??? Come on, take him away and give him twenty lashes first."
