Chapter 375 Confession
After leaving the hall, the Duke's wife walked towards the courtyard where Li Jiaojiao was with a gloomy face.
Nanny Yu and Xiaolu chased after her with pale faces.
Yu Ma gritted her teeth and said, "Madam...you have made such a joke...I'm afraid the Third Miss can't stay...ah!"
"Pa!" The Duke's wife turned around and slapped her in the face.
Nanny Yu was suddenly slapped by her. She was shocked and aggrieved. She looked up and met the sullen face of the Duke's wife:
"Making a joke? Aren't there enough jokes? At this point, if we kick her out, won't it be even funnier?"
She has become the laughing stock of the whole capital.
If she kicks Li Jiaojiao out again, that bitch Ye Caiping will definitely think that she is afraid of her!
Wan Shu is trying to save face by not making any effort to save face! I insist on keeping Jiaojiao here!
The Duke's wife walked quickly to the courtyard where Li Jiaojiao lived with a sullen face.
Li Jiaojiao has woken up.
She originally thought she would be kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, but unexpectedly she found herself back after waking up.
There was a sound of footsteps, Li Jiaojiao turned around and saw the Duke's wife coming in.
Her face changed slightly and she was about to get up.
"Okay, sit down!" The Duchess's wife pressed her hand.
Li Jiaojiao's eyes turned red: "Mother... I know you hate me..."
She knew that the Duke's wife had forgiven her! Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept her under such pressure.
Li Jiaojiao was shocked and moved: "Mother, you have to believe me... Although I was implicated in the cheating case... this was all done by my brother."
"My brother Li Zimo, he got the answer from nowhere and asked people for advice everywhere. He forced me to go with him... I was a little girl and didn't know anything about scientific examinations. I just thought he was asking for advice normally."
"Later, he was arrested, and I was implicated by him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sentenced to three years while I was only sentenced to one month... If mother doesn't believe me, you can check..."
"After I got out of jail, I was afraid that my stepfather would sell me, so I didn't dare go home. I was looking for a place to go, but I was caught by traffickers and sold to the capital."
"After being adopted by you, my mother, I thought of my mother back home. My mother was beaten by my stepfather every day and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs."
"My heart ached when I thought of her, so I immediately asked the Dongshan Dental Clinic to help buy her out. Now she lives in my hometown."
"This is all I have. If you don't believe me, mother, you can ask someone to check."
Li Jiaojiao cried until her eyes turned red, feeling aggrieved and desperate.
The Duke's wife was still angry at first, but after hearing about her tragic life story and experiences, as well as her red and swollen face, her heart softened.
Even though he became rich, he never forgot his biological mother. He was a filial son!
The Duke's wife sat down beside her bed and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"I, I'm afraid my mother will dislike me..."
"Silly child, is your mother a stingy and pedantic person?"
“Mother!” Li Jiaojiao rushed over and hugged the Duke’s wife tightly: “I am ignorant… I have only been here for a few days, and there are many things I don’t know and haven’t learned… I always thought that dukes, marquises, earls, and barons… we are just of a higher class… We don’t know anything else, so it’s like this!”
The Duke's wife's face turned red as she listened.
In fact, it’s her own fault! I never told Jiaojiao the true situation of the Duke's Mansion.
However, who would tell a newly adopted daughter that their family is unable to make ends meet and no one is interested in government... How embarrassing!
Of course, it is easy to choose, such as the ranks of duke, marquis, earl, and baron...
The Duke's wife patted her on the back: "Okay... the past is in the past."
Li Jiaojiao felt a pang of sadness and touched.
In this world, apart from her mother, there is no one else who treats her so well!
Li Jiaojiao's touching feeling is real!
She stepped out of the Duke's wife's embrace and looked at her timidly: "Mother... Actually... I have something to hide from you. There was another person who was bought into the mansion with me..."
As he spoke, he mentioned Gu Han's existence.
Li Jiaojiao knew that after the scandal of going to jail, she would not be accepted by even a slightly better family, let alone marrying into a noble family as a lady.
Her only hope is Gu Han!
As long as she helps Gu Han regain the position of Crown Prince, Gu Han will definitely marry her as his Crown Princess!
The Duke's wife listened to how she rescued Gu Han from the street and brought him home, how she treated him and took him in...
He was overjoyed: "Are you telling the truth? The one you saved was the former prince of the Ningguo Marquisate?"
Li Jiaojiao nodded solemnly: "Maybe it was our fate that we were sold here together. I was adopted as a daughter, and he... I couldn't help him for the time being, and I was afraid that he would be recognized by others, so I sent him to the manor."
"Okay, okay!" The Duke's wife held her hand tightly, "Mother was right about Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is kind-hearted and sincere! You are in jail because of someone else's involvement! Poor thing..."
As he said this, he touched her little face.
"By the way, what did Gu Han do to you..."
"He... said he liked me and would marry me in the future. But... I don't know how I feel about him. As a girl, I don't understand these things. I only listen to my mother's arrangements..."
If she had not promised the wife of Duke Pingguo to meet the son of Marquis Dingguo, she would have admitted that she also liked Gu Han.
Lady Pingguogong was excited: "Yes, yes, you can't decide this matter by yourself. Don't worry, I will help with Gu Han's matter. But you can't tell Gu Han that I want to introduce you to another man... I'm afraid he will mind."
Li Jiaojiao nodded shyly.
The Duke's wife breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Duke Ping's Mansion helped Gu Han regain the position of Crown Prince.
Gu Hanfeng married Jiaojiao in a grand ceremony, and then told her how he had fallen into trouble and how Jiaojiao did not despise him, but rescued him, a "beggar", and took him home to seek medical treatment and medicine. This would prove that Jiaojiao was a kind person.
If we spend some money to spread the word, everyone will know that Jiaojiao was implicated in the jail.
By the way, it also proves that she is not blind.
Moreover, she has always been at odds with the Mei family. If she could help Gu Han seize the throne, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Li Jiaojiao was delighted: "Mother...how are you going to help Gu Han..."
The wife of Duke Pingguo's smile froze slightly: "This... needs to be considered carefully."
The Ningguo Marquis Mansion is not someone to be trifled with.
The current Ningguo Marquis Gu Shen is also a powerful man. He is the deputy commander of the third-rank Beijing Guard Battalion and is quite impressive.
