Chapter 72 Designed
Instantly, Liu Rumeng's heart was gripped, and her face turned red! Her lips moved, wanting to say something, but she couldn't speak because of the severe pain in her body.
Originally, Liu Rumeng was going to change her mind and run to the door, then she shouted, "Duke, it's all Meng'er who has let you down. Please let me leave the Duke's Mansion, or even let me beg outside. Meng'er doesn't want to cause you any more trouble!"
But who would have thought that she would fall so badly? After seeing this sudden situation, the other people in the room couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, and they didn't react for a long time.
The Duke's wife covered her mouth and laughed muffledly, then deliberately asked in surprise: "Doctor, did Aunt Liu tie up her brain after hanging herself?"
Upon hearing this, the doctor said helplessly: I don’t know this either!
"Auntie!" Pei Jingyuan rushed over and helped Auntie Liu back in.
Aunt Liu lay down with a look of pain on her face. Her pain before was just pretend, but now it was real!
Upon seeing this, the Duke of England glanced at the Duke's wife and said, "Madam, you are the master of this harem, so you should handle Aunt Liu's affairs!"
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Duke nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Liu Rumeng with a cold gaze and scolded her, "Madam Liu, how old are you, and yet you are still so reckless! Madam Liu, you keep saying that you are sorry to the Duke, but do you know that if you die like this today, it will really bring shame to the Duke's Mansion? Could it be that you really did it on purpose, or are you acting, or are you just stupid? I originally thought you were an honest and obedient person, but now it seems that I misjudged you!"
When Liu Rumeng saw that the Duke ignored her and the Duke's wife scolded her like this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She thought: This is over! The image she has been building for so many years is ruined today! How could the Duke not play by the rules? If he had stopped her just now, how could this situation happen?
Liu Rumeng felt a little unwilling in her heart. She didn't believe that the Duke of England was really so ruthless. Talking about what happened in the past, didn't he feel guilty about himself?
Then, Liu Rumeng shed a few tears in grievance, and continued to sob: "I know, Madam! This is all my fault. I forgot my identity and thought I was still the free person I was back then. Now I am the Duke's concubine and have entered the Duke's house. Naturally, my life and death are not in my own hands. If I want to blame someone, then I can only blame myself. If I had preferred death to submission and had not climbed into the Duke's bed, then I would not have become like this today. All this is retribution for me!"
"You..." When the Duke's wife heard this and saw Liu Rumeng's pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but show a trace of anger on her face when she mentioned what happened that year.
As long as she mentioned the past, it would be the pain of her life! Although, besides Liu Rumeng, the Duke of England had two concubines in his backyard, those concubines were simply in name only. The Duke of England was forced to take them in for the sake of filial piety. Moreover, the Duke of England had never touched these two concubines, so in addition to the children born to the Duke's wife, the Duke of England only had the son born to Liu Rumeng.
Similarly, when the Duke of England heard Liu Rumeng bring up what happened back then again, and took all the responsibility on himself, he felt like he was not a human being. To be honest, Liu Rumeng was innocent back then. If he hadn't raped her, how could this happen? Because of his own confusion, he let down two women at the same time. He was such a jerk! But now that things have come to this, he still has a responsibility to Liu Rumeng and can't just abandon her.
When the Duke of England thought about this, he was about to speak and said, "Auntie, you..."
[Bah! Scumbag! You believed such a vicious woman as long as she cried. He also said that he was sincere to the Duke's wife, but it seems that was all a lie! Men's mouths are really deceiving! No wonder he didn't even know that he was being framed, and he had to count money for her after being sold! God is really interesting. I wonder how the Duke can fight on the battlefield with such a brain? Logically speaking, with such a simple brain, shouldn't he be fooled by the enemy on the battlefield? Does the Duke rely on luck to fight? ]
When the Duke of England heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak. He was not angry that Xu Qingyan scolded him, but she said that he was set up by someone back then? Who dared to set him up? But why couldn't he feel that someone had set him up?
After hearing this, the Duke's wife's eyelids twitched slightly. She couldn't believe that the Duke was actually set up by someone. If this was the case, then everything would be different. It seemed that someone had planned to deal with the Duke's Mansion more than ten years ago. Who was this person and what was his purpose?
The Duke and the other two were curious and puzzled, waiting for Xu Qingyan to continue speaking, but at this moment, Xu Qingyan suddenly became quiet and stood aside as if watching the fun.
The Duke and his wife were extremely anxious. Even Pei Jingchuan looked at Xu Qingyan curiously: "Why don't you say anything? Why don't you continue talking?"
After waiting for a long time, Liu Rumeng did not receive any words of comfort from the Duke of England. She felt very strange in her heart. Why was the Duke of England not so soft-hearted today? Was it because there were too many people? It seemed that she had to change the day and try to win the Duke of England's sympathy again.
"Aunt, please don't say anymore. We were the ones who made the mistakes before. Father and mother have already punished you. Now they are just confining you to house arrest. Don't think too much." At this time, Pei Jingyuan saw that no one said anything, so he had to speak up to comfort Aunt Liu.
Pei Jingyuan naturally knew that his mother definitely didn't really want to die, and that she must have some purpose for doing this today. In his opinion, the most important thing now was that his mother was under house arrest. If his mother couldn't go out, she couldn't contact the outside world.
After a while, Xu Qingyan began to think seriously again: [This concubine Liu has been under house arrest for so long, and she must have been unable to communicate with people outside for a long time, so she was so anxious that she resorted to such a desperate measure today. However, the person behind her is really powerful, and she has only appeared a few times until the end. This person behind her is a hidden danger after all. I have to find an opportunity to remind my husband and ask him to create some opportunities for concubine Liu to go out, and then send someone to follow her. As long as we can dig out this person behind her, there may be some unexpected gains, and then our fate can be changed. ]
When the Duke and his wife heard that there was indeed someone behind Aunt Liu, there was no need to verify it. The Duke of England chose to believe what Xu Qingyan said 100%.
After all, he must have been set up by someone! He would never betray his wife! Of course, he still felt sorry for his wife, and he would probably never be able to hold his head up in front of the Duke's wife for the rest of his life.
The Duke's wife was trying to figure out what Xu Qingyan had just said. She pretended to be moved by Aunt Liu's words and said, "Forget it. Aunt Liu, you have been under house arrest for so long. I will lift your house arrest now. If you really don't want to live one day, please go outside and solve it. Don't dirty the Duke's Mansion!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng looked up in surprise and said, "Madam! I...I understand."
Even though the Duke's wife's words were extremely harsh, this also lifted my house arrest, and it also solved one of my predicaments, didn't it?
