Chapter 161 Mo is gone
There were too many people in the bedroom, so Chunxi didn't go in to join in the fun. After a while, Marquis Qingyuan came out with everyone.
When he saw Chunxi, Shen Qingyu immediately glared at her fiercely, wishing he could eat Chunxi alive, but after Shen Qingyuan walked to Chunxi, Shen Qingyu withdrew his gaze.
Marquis Qingyuan had no idea how many women he had over the years, and he had no feelings for Mo, he just felt a little annoyed.
Mr. Mo’s illness is so serious that no one knows when he will die. For the time being, he cannot go out to accompany his beauty.
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Qingyuan frowned and asked, "Why did Madam suddenly become seriously ill when she was fine?"
Shen Qingyu subconsciously wanted to blame Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan, but was stopped by Shen Qingyue. Jia Ma knelt on the ground and cried, "It was the people in the Taifu Mansion who were bullying us. The fourth son of the Taifu Mansion, Li Jixian, deceived the young lady into having her body. Today, he sent people to the mansion to deliberately humiliate her and asked the young lady to become his concubine. The lady was so angry that she fainted."
Bang!
The Marquis of Qingyuan slammed the table and angrily said, "How did she teach her daughter? How could she raise her daughter to be as shameless as she is?"
Marquis Qingyuan did not scold the Taifu Mansion for being too bullying. Instead, he scolded Mrs. Mo just like the old woman did. Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingyu both looked stiff.
After a moment of shock, Nanny Jia cried out loudly, "Madam is so angry now. How could the Marquis say such chilling words? The fourth young master of the Taifu Mansion dared to do such a thing. It's not only humiliating Madam, it's also humiliating the Marquis."
Marquis Qingyuan enjoyed a period of glory when he was awarded the title for his military merits. However, when the empire was finally settled, his military power was taken away. He only held onto his title but was no longer valued. Over the years, he has endured countless mockeries and sarcasm. Now, he is obsessed with women and has long lost his integrity and sense of shame. He snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for this evil girl's willingness to debase herself, she wouldn't have been treated so badly."
The implication is that Shen Qingchi was at fault, and whatever the Taifu Mansion did was justified.
The Marquis of Qingyuan showed no sign of seeking justice for his wife and daughter. Aunt Jia's heart sank to the bone. After a long pause, she asked hesitantly, "So, Master, are you just going to let your daughter be someone else's concubine for nothing?"
"This is the path she chose herself, who can she blame?"
Marquis Qingyuan retorted without hesitation, and without waiting for Aunt Jia to say anything else, he shouted for Shen Qingchi to get in.
Shen Qingchi walked into the room and knelt down. Marquis Qingyuan asked directly, "The fourth son of the Taifu Mansion wants to take you as his concubine. Are you willing?"
Shen Qingchi lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling.
She doesn't want to be a concubine.
She had never met many men outside the family. She only heard from her mother that Li Jixian, the fourth son of the Taifu Mansion, was a lazy and tolerant person. Although he would not achieve anything great, he had a good family background. If she could marry him, it would be a blessing for her.
She was afraid that Mrs. Mo would be angry with her because of the division of the family, so she secretly sent a letter to Li Jixian and took the initiative to express her love for him.
Li Jixian immediately wrote back to her and asked her to meet him.
Because the mansion had no money, many servants were sold. Everyone in the mansion was in danger and the supervision was lax. It was easy for her to sneak out and meet Li Jixian.
As soon as they met, Li Jixian started to touch her. She realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but the power difference was too great and Li Jixian forced himself on her.
She took Li Jixian's jade pendant while he was not paying attention. After returning home, she wrote a letter threatening him that if he did not come to her house to propose marriage, she would sue him for raping her.
Li Jixian immediately wrote back to admit his mistake and promised to send a matchmaker to propose marriage soon.
She believed Li Jixian's words, so when her mother proposed to marry her to a businessman in exchange for a large betrothal gift, she said that she and Li Jixian were in love and had committed herself to him.
She didn't want to be sold as a commodity and wanted to take control of her own destiny, but she didn't expect to end up like this.
Who would believe her at this time if she said that Li Jixian forced her?
Thinking of Li Jixian's face, Shen Qingchi felt disgusted, but after a long silence, she still said: "My daughter is willing."
"Shen Qingchi, do you still have any shame? He humiliated you like this and made my mother so angry that her life was hanging by a thread, and you actually want to be his concubine?"
Shen Qingyu was furious and rushed forward to hit Shen Qingchi. Shen Qingchi raised his head and glared at him fearlessly: "Third brother and mother are discussing selling me to a wealthy businessman for money. Isn't that a disgrace to me?"
Li Jixian was at least young and not bad looking. If she could please him, she would be the fourth wife of the Taifu Mansion, which would be a hundred times better than marrying a lowly merchant.
Shen Qingyu never expected that his usually gentle and obedient sister would dare to contradict him. He sneered, "I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, so can't I decide your marriage? Besides, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. Whatever I do, it's for your own good."
Shen Qingchi has always been a crybaby, but when he confronted Shen Qingyu, he didn't shed a single tear.
She said calmly, "In mother's eyes, I have always been just a tool for marriage. The only ones she really cares about are my second and third brothers. I'm afraid my second and third brothers only see me as a stepping stone and don't have any brotherly feelings towards me."
Bang!
Shen Qingyu slapped Shen Qingchi hard: "You heartless thing, who made my mother fall on the bed?"
Shen Qingchi was about to retort, but Qingyuan Hou interrupted impatiently: "Okay, stop it. Since you are willing to be a concubine, then don't stay at home and embarrass yourself. Pack your things and go to the Taifu Mansion."
"Yes, my daughter bids farewell to her father."
Shen Qingchi kowtowed and turned to leave. Aunt Jia rushed over and grabbed her: "Miss, you can't be so foolish. The Taifu Mansion has treated you so badly. If you really come here to be a concubine, I don't know how much suffering you will endure in the future."
Shen Qingchi pulled away Nanny Jia's hand and said coldly, "Even if I become a concubine, at least I can still have a status. If anything happens to my mother, I will have to stay at home to observe mourning for three years. Nanny, do you think the Taifu Mansion will still recognize this after three years?"
Jia Ma choked, and after a moment she knelt down and kowtowed to Chunxi: "Master, Madam, please help the young lady. Even if Madam has done many bad things, the young lady is innocent."
Nanny Jia never married in her life, and secretly treated Mo's children as half her own children. She really couldn't bear to watch Shen Qingchi end up like this.
Aunt Jia cried sincerely, but Shen Qingchi had a cold expression. She didn't even look at Chunxi, but turned and left.
From today on, she will no longer pin her hopes on anyone.
"Miss, you can't leave..."
Aunt Jia wanted to catch up, but Mo Yunwan rushed out in a panic: "Come and see, my aunt is not well!"
Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingyu immediately rushed into the bedroom, and Aunt Jia also turned around and rushed in after hesitating.
Marquis Qingyuan sat firmly in the main seat without moving, and Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan did not move either.
Not long after, the sound of Aunt Jia crying could be heard from the room.
Mrs. Mo is gone.
