Chapter 234 The Expulsion Was Not Successful
Internally, in order to limit Min Rong, Min Yuexi and Cao Yimei took a two-pronged approach.
Externally, she tried to win over Su Rongrong and make the Enping Marquis's Mansion her backer.
He instigated the Seventh Princess and the Empress to cause trouble for the Crown Prince.
Down below, establish a hot spring resort, near the painted corner tower, and support Chen San in controlling the beggar circle.
Just when Min Qiao thought that this was all Wei Jia had planned, she heard Wei Jia continue, "I also plan to have the children on the estate infiltrate various households."
"There are several children studying medicine at Doctor Mu's clinic. Once they have completed their studies, they can seek opportunities to become female physicians in other mansions."
"Seven or eight children would be sent to the Yashu (a local government agency), and then through the Yashu's channels, they would be sent to wealthy families to work as maids or servants."
"Some of the children will stay at the hot spring resort to serve, where they can showcase their talents and win the favor of the dignitaries. If they can gain the appreciation of these dignitaries and stay by their side, it is also a path to infiltration."
"besides……"
Madam Min raised her hand to interrupt Wei Jia, and asked with a serious expression, "What are you having them infiltrate each household for? What exactly are you planning?"
Wei Jia said in a deep voice, "Madam, please don't panic. These children are too conspicuous when they are gathered together. Separating them is for their safety."
"As for sending them to each household, it's really just about finding them a way out."
“When things are peaceful, they are just servants. But when trouble comes, they can become the sharp blades protecting the Grand Madam.”
If anyone dares to harm the Grand Madam, with just one order from Ajiu, these children will use every means possible—poisoning, assassination, kidnapping, threats—to achieve their ultimate goal of protecting the Grand Madam!
Min Qiao looked at Wei Jia with mixed feelings. What exactly did she want to do? Was everything she did really just to protect her?
She's just a useless old woman, not some important person. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to protect her safety?
Or is she just using the guise of protecting her to make other plans?
Thinking of this, Madam Min felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
She suppressed the growing doubts and sadness in her heart and said coldly, "You can leave now. There's no room for someone as important as you here."
Min Qiao's words came out of nowhere, but the meaning was very clear.
Everyone was still immersed in the meticulous and thorough plan, thinking that with these preparations, no one could bully Min Qiao Shi in the future.
Especially those with a few brain defects, such as Ayi, Ajiu, and Qiao Yuanyao, admired Wei Jia to the point of worship.
However, Min Qiao's sudden words stunned everyone, who stared at her in disbelief.
Only Wei Jia, the person in question, knelt calmly at Min Qiao's feet, as if she had expected this, and looked up sincerely, saying:
"Madam, I know you will be angry, but please believe me, I did all this just to protect your happiness and well-being."
Min Qiaoshi had heard similar things far too often.
The first time she heard it, she was moved. The second time, she still felt warm inside. But after hearing it many times, she gradually became resistant to it.
"You always say you want me to live a good life, to be carefree, and to live to be a hundred. But have you ever thought about how every single thing you've done has been a stepping stone to my downfall?"
Min Qiao tried her best to suppress her emotions and said with a blank expression, "I have said that I just want to live a peaceful life and I don't care about anything else."
"But any one of the things you've done, if exposed, will shatter my peaceful life! It could even lead me to utter ruin!"
“Madam…” A hint of panic flickered across Wei Jia’s calm expression, and her tone was no longer as confident as before, “I just want Madam to live a better, more comfortable life…”
Madam Min raised her hand to stop Wei Jia from continuing her explanation. "I know you're smart, and I know you're capable. But there's always someone better. Do you really think no one knows what you've done?"
"Did you really do all this just to protect me?"
"Or are you actually just trying to show me, or certain people, or even everyone, your methods and abilities?"
"Or perhaps you simply enjoy the process of strategizing and plotting against others?"
Madam Min sighed, waved her hand, and said weakly, "Never mind, only you know what you're really thinking."
"That's all I have to say. You can leave now. You know where your indenture is. Take it and leave."
"And all my businesses have already been handed over to you for management. Take whatever you want with you."
With that, he didn't look at Wei Jia again and got up to leave.
"Madam!" Wei Jia reached out and hugged Madam Min's legs. "I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please don't send me away!"
"I shouldn't have been so presumptuous, I shouldn't have acted on my own! It was my lack of foresight, my arrogance!"
"I know I was wrong! Madam, please don't send me away!"
Tears streamed down Wei Jia's face as she frantically clung to Min Qiao, refusing to let her leave.
She knew that what she was doing would displease the Grand Madam, and if she had told the Grand Madam from the beginning, the Grand Madam would definitely not have agreed to her doing it.
That's why she deliberately kept it a secret. She even got others to help her keep it from the old lady.
Now that her plans were beginning to go according to plan, she dared to tell the Grand Madam everything.
She thought the old lady would be angry, annoyed, or even punish her, but she never expected that the old lady would simply expel her!
At that moment, she panicked, and all her usual composure and calmness vanished.
"Madam, please don't send Sister Weijia away! Sister Weijia did all these things to protect you from being wronged!"
It was Ayi who said this. She knelt beside Weijia and looked earnestly at Min Qiaoshi.
"Madam, please forgive Sister Weijia!" This was A Shuang. Even the most eloquent A Shuang could only utter this one dry plea.
She knew that what her sister Weijia had done had long since crossed the Grand Madam's bottom line.
Although these people did not know everything, they knew one or two things more or less.
These women, having learned of Wei Jia's actions, failed to inform the Grand Madam, which already constitutes disloyalty. Now, how can they possibly plead for Wei Jia's life?
"Madam, please spare Sister Weijia! We knew about these things too. If you must punish someone, punish us as well."
The person who said this was Ajiu.
Putting aside everything else, she was the one in charge of the resettlement of the children on the estate.
She has been working on this matter these past few days.
She brainwashed the children, making them obey her commands and be loyal to the Grand Madam. She was adept at fabricating their backs and selling them to brothels…
"Madam..." Everyone knelt on the ground, pleading for Wei Jia.
Suppressing her heartache, Madam Min Qiao glanced at everyone before finally asking into the void, "Really, what about you? Aren't you going to come out and plead for Wei Jia?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually came out.
She knelt on one knee, her expression calm, but a ruthless glint was hidden in her eyes. "Madam, do you want me to kill Weijia for you?"
What's the point of keeping a treacherous servant?
This is a truly genuine attitude.
