“Miss Shen kicked Master Dong because of me!”
As soon as these words fell.
The whole audience was shocked.
Aunt Zhao was born in a humble family and had never seen any big scenes. Whenever she met a woman of noble status, even her words revealed timidity and inferiority.
Only this time!
Her voice was rapid and loud!
This powerful sentence drowned out all the discussions around.
Whether it was the ladies of the noble family who were whispering to each other, the disgusted old lady Hou, or Xie Yuchuan who wanted to make Chen Wei suffer, they all looked at Aunt Zhao in shock.
Aunt Zhao saw Chen Wei's face change slightly, as if she opened her mouth to refute her!
She quickly stepped forward and suddenly knelt before Madam Hou. Before Shen Wei could speak, she tearfully said, "Please, Madam, make the decision for me!"
"After the banquet just now, I wanted to take a walk in the back garden."
"But somehow I saw Master Dong here too. I wanted to avoid him, but Master Dong, he, he actually flirted with me."
"I thought Mr. Dong was an honored guest, so I tried to refuse and return to my room. But Mr. Dong suddenly blocked my way and tried to force me to be with him..."
"Even though I'm just a concubine, I know the rules of propriety, righteousness, and shame. After trying to persuade him several times, Master Dong still refused to let go, so I had no choice but to kick him out."
"Wuwuwuwu... Old Madam, Lord Marquis, this is absolutely true. I dare not lie. After such a shameful incident, I have no face to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Please divorce me, Lord Marquis."
Chen Wei looked in surprise at Aunt Zhao who had stepped forward to take the blame. The words that were about to come out of his mouth to refute him were swallowed back in the end.
Aunt Zhao has already been stigmatized, it’s too late to say anything now!
Chen Wei knew what Aunt Zhao was up to, and was even more clear about why she was standing up at this moment...
Now that all the distinguished guests are here, it is a good opportunity to be divorced. In order to consider the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, the old lady of the Marquis dare not be too biased.
Aunt Zhao is indeed different from before. She didn't have this kind of courage before. In order to leave the Marquis' Mansion, she would sacrifice her reputation and pay such a huge price!
"Why are you crying? You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Hou said after listening to Aunt Zhao's crying.
His expression became even uglier than before, and besides being ugly, he also looked a little shocked.
She stared at Aunt Zhao sharply, clearly not believing what she said. She also didn't expect that Aunt Zhao, who always cleaned up the mess in front of her, would dare to take the blame. "You said it was you who kicked Master Dong? If that was you, why did the servant say it was Chen Wei who did it?"
Madam Hou glanced at Chen Wei inadvertently.
It was obvious that the old lady knew that it was Chen Wei who kicked someone.
Although what happened in the martial arts gym was forcibly suppressed by Master Dong, how could the old lady, as the head of the Marquis's Mansion, not know about it?
Yes!
Xie Yuchuan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and said coldly, "You said that Young Master Dong teased you? So you destroyed Young Master Dong's foundation? So, it's still Young Master Dong's fault?"
"Everyone at the banquet is a distinguished guest. As a concubine of lowly status, you should stay in the side courtyard. Without the mistress's permission, you are not allowed to go to the inner courtyard and confront the distinguished guests! You knew what day it was today, yet you insisted on wandering around in the back garden. What a filthy heart you have!"
"Ultimately, this is all your fault. If it weren't for your misconduct, how could such a scandal have arisen? I, the Marquis, cannot protect you from this matter!"
"Mother, there's no need to discuss this matter any further. Just bring Aunt Zhao to justice!"
There are many women like Aunt Zhao, and Xie Yuchuan can abandon her without blinking an eye.
Now that Aunt Zhao has stepped forward to take the blame, there is no need to offend the Dong family, and Chen Wei does not have to suffer in the government office... To be honest, Xie Yuchuan still can't bear to see Chen Wei suffer.
If Chen Wei's character wasn't too stubborn and all the distinguished guests present were watching, Xie Yuchuan really didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
