Chapter 161: I'm just informing you
Mrs. Xie Hou took a handkerchief and cleaned the bird droppings off her body.
After hearing what Xie Yingmian said, I was so angry that my lungs exploded.
"What nonsense!"
"Xie Yingmian, why didn't I realize you were so vicious before? Everything that happened today was all part of your plan, right?"
"Okay, very good."
Xie Yingmian was in no mood to argue with Lady Xie.
These people were all the same, repeating the same things over and over again, and she was tired of listening to them.
Xie Yingmian said coldly: "I don't want to argue with you."
"But, I won't let you slander me in vain."
"Take the Hongyao incident for example."
"Hongyao belongs to Marquis Xie. The indenture is still in the hands of the Marquis' wife. The Marquis' wife should know the rules better than me. Whoever has the indenture, Hongyao belongs to him."
"Since Hongyao is Madam Hou's person, whatever she does has nothing to do with me. Thank you Madam Hou for not trying to throw dirty water on me."
"If Madam Hou continues to act unreasonably and slander me, I will report it to the government and let them judge right and wrong."
Mrs. Xie Hou felt a tightness in her chest and was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Letting the government judge the case means exposing the Xie family’s scandal to the public.
The Xie family can't afford to lose this person.
Hongyao's indenture contract was indeed in her hands.
Not only Hongyao's indenture was there, but also those of the other three maids.
When Xie Yingmian got married, anyone with eyesight would have known that she would be buried with Prince Ling.
Xie Yingmian was buried with him, and the maidservants who came with her as a dowry had to be buried with him as well.
She believed that Xie Yingmian and the four dowry women were doomed to die, and she never thought about selling her indentures.
Now, the boomerang had come back to her.
She was speechless and so angry that she actually vomited blood.
"So calculating, Xie Yingmian, you are so calculating."
"You've already figured this out, right?"
"It brings shame to the Xie family and makes the Marquis and me a laughing stock..."
Xie Yingmian's expression suddenly turned cold: "Madam Hou, you can deceive yourself, but it's best not to use your habit of blaming others on me."
"You think I don't know what you did?"
"You received news that Xie Baozhang and Xie Baoyu were plotting against me. When your servant reported it, you thought I was the one who did the shameful deed. You were happy to see me ruined, so you called everyone to come. You wanted everyone to witness it, so you could use their mouths to destroy me."
"But you didn't expect that it wasn't me who did the shameful thing, it was your husband."
"You've shot yourself in the foot. You've made a huge mistake. You're afraid Xie Tao will blame you when he wakes up, and you're afraid Old Lady Xie will punish you. You can't take responsibility, so you're putting all the blame on me."
Xie Yingmian was smiling.
The smile on her face grew bigger and bigger, but her eyes were full of coldness.
"Who gave you the illusion that I would let you control me?"
Being stared at by Xie Yingmian, Madam Xie Hou felt a murderous intent as cold as hell.
The murderous intent coiled around her like a poisonous snake, running through her feet to her head.
fear!
Lady Xie Hou felt an unspeakable fear from Xie Yingmian.
At this moment, she clearly realized that
The Xie Yingmian in front of her was no longer the timid and inferior village girl who allowed herself to be manipulated by her.
Now Xie Yingmian,
It is more like a Yaksha crawling out from the depths of the underworld, with cruel means and strong murderous aura.
Lady Xie Hou was frightened by Xie Yingmian.
I was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Xie Yingmian didn't have time to get entangled with Mrs. Xie Hou.
She said, "You are right about one thing."
"I am still a member of the Xie family. The Xie family's scandals will affect me."
"So, I'll find a way to solve this matter."
"I have a way to silence Youyou and protect the reputation of the Marquis and the Xie family."
Mrs. Xie Hou was very suspicious of Xie Yingmian.
Could Xie Yingmian be so kind?
Without waiting for her to ask, Xie Yingmian continued, "In exchange, I have two conditions."
"The first condition is to give me the indentures of Yumo, Zhuyue, and Wenge."
"Who?" asked Mrs. Xie Hou.
Xie Yingmian then remembered that it was she who changed the names of the three girls.
What were their original names?
I can't remember.
"Except Hongyao, give me the indentures of the other three maids today."
Mrs. Xie thought: Those three maids are all low-ranking maids, and the total value of their indentures is less than two taels of silver.
Anyway, those rubbish are useless in the Marquis' Mansion, so it doesn't matter if they are given to Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian: "The second request is that the Marquis take Hongyao as a concubine."
"Impossible!" Madam Xie Hou was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "That vixen is not even worthy of being a maid in the same room. How can she be a concubine?"
"Do you know what a concubine represents?"
Xie Yingmian certainly knew.
Concubines are different from ordinary concubines.
To put it nicely, an ordinary concubine is a concubine, but to put it bluntly, she is the mistress's property, an object.
If you offend the mistress, she can punish you or even sell you off.
They are not qualified to raise children, and the children cannot call her mother, but only aunt.
Concubines are different.
Concubines have formal status and can attend various formal occasions. Their status is second only to that of the mistress.
The mistress has no right to dispose of the concubine, let alone sell her.
For Lady Xie Hou, having Hong Yao, who was of low status, be her concubine was like swallowing a half-eaten fly alive.
Xie Yingmian said, "I'm not discussing this with you."
"I'm just informing you."
"If you agree to these two conditions, I will take care of this matter."
"If you don't agree, then please let Madam Xie Hou take care of your own luck."
Xie Yingmian's tone was icy and cold: "Marquis Xie is not a fool, and those who witnessed Marquis Xie's scandal are not fools either. Madam Xie can treat herself as a fool, but she cannot treat others as fools."
"Compared to the divorce of Marquis Xie's wife, you should know which is more important."
"That's all I have to say."
Mrs. Xie Hou's face turned blue and white.
She pinched her sleeves tightly with her fingers, wishing she could poke a few holes in them.
She had to admit that Xie Yingmian was right.
When the Marquis wakes up, he will definitely know the truth, and she can't hide it anymore.
She brought shame to the Xie family and made a huge mistake. Based on her understanding of the Marquis, even if he didn't divorce her, he wouldn't let her off easily.
Besides the Marquis, there is also the old lady.
On the surface, the old lady was as close to her as a mother and daughter, but in fact she was sarcastic and profit-driven.
After such an incident, Mrs. Xie Hou didn't dare to think about how the old lady would punish her.
so,
Even if it was disgusting or nauseating, she had to take the risk.
"I agree." said Mrs. Xie Hou.
Xie Yingmian threw three pieces of paper to Madam Xie Hou: "Then sign the agreement."
Mrs. Xie Hou didn't expect that Xie Yingmian had even prepared the agreement.
"You really have figured this out long ago."
"Xie Yingmian, I'm kindly offering you a word of advice." After reading the agreement, Madam Xie Hou wrote down her name. "If you think Hongyao will be of any use to you after becoming a concubine, you're overthinking it."
"Some people are just lowly people at heart."
"That ungrateful bastard Hongyao, do you know what she's done?"
