The three of them held their breath again.
Zheng Yigeng's gaze swept over the two faces for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "Sang Rui is indeed the daughter of this servant and the First Madam."
Sang Rui's face darkened even more.
Long Tianyi felt a surge of satisfaction, but he maintained a stern expression and said, "You have quite the nerve!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Sang Hongfu: "Prime Minister, in this case, I certainly cannot marry the Third Miss as my principal wife. However, if you are willing to suppress this matter, I can still give the Third Miss the title of concubine."
Sang Hongfu pursed his lips, looking at his smug expression. His hands, hanging at his sides, tightened. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's do as the young master says!"
"Alright, then I'll go back and make the arrangements. Prime Minister, just find some time to send the concubine to the Prince's residence." After saying that, he nodded to Sang Hongfu and turned to leave.
Looking at his triumphant expression as he walked out, Sang Rui felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
Fortunately, Aya pulled her back in time, preventing her from being bumped into by Long Tianyi who came out.
Sending the concubine to the Prince's residence would be fine...
These words were like a thorn, piercing her heart.
He wouldn't even give her a wedding; he'd just send himself to her...
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and finally, her vision went black and she fainted.
Inside the room, as soon as Long Tianyi left, Sang Hongfu exploded. He kicked Zheng Yigeng in the face and shouted outside, "Men! Drag him away, beat him to death, and throw him into a mass grave!"
Hearing the commotion, the butler quickly came in from outside. Originally, everyone was only speculating about the matter concerning the First Madam, but now Sang Hongfu's actions confirmed it.
Only then did Zheng Yigeng realize that he had been deceived by Long Tianyi.
Although he was the chief steward of the Prime Minister's residence, he had ultimately signed a contract of servitude. Now, if Sang Hongfu were to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing a grasshopper.
He was about to beg for mercy when a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth. He struggled and was forced onto a wooden stool, where a board was repeatedly struck his body. Sang Hongfu's figure became increasingly blurry...
Furong Garden.
Upon hearing this news, the First Madam's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
She looked at Lin's mother in disbelief: "You mean, Zheng Yigeng said in front of Prince Tianyi that Rui'er is his daughter?"
Although Lin's mother felt very sorry for her, she still nodded and said, "Yes, Madam."
"When did Master say he would send Rui'er there?" She sniffed and looked at Mama Lin for help.
Madam Lin glanced at her and lowered her head: "Master said it's just taking a concubine, not a big deal, so he told Miss to pack up and take her to the Prince's Mansion as soon as she wakes up..."
Upon hearing this, the First Madam nearly fainted again, but her will told her that she could not fall down; if she did, her Rui'er would be completely finished.
She struggled to sit up from the ground: "I need to go see Rui'er."
After saying that, she started to walk outside. Just as she reached the door, she was stopped by several servants standing outside: "Madam, the master has instructed that you are not allowed to go out without his permission. If necessary, we servants may use force, so please do not make things difficult for us."
The First Madam's anger flared up the moment she saw them.
Madam Lin went over and stopped her: "Never mind, Madam, let's go back first."
