The second lady ran away angrily, and the wet nurse was frightened and wanted to chase her out, but Qingcheng pulled her back.
"If the general and the first lady knew,,,,,"
The nanny wanted to say something else, but Qingcheng stopped her with his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry. He was half-convinced, and sat her down in the room, helping her to hold her red and swollen face. Butterfly handed things to the side, and turned to the door from time to time to worry about it.
Look outside the door.
After a long time, a maid came to invite Qingcheng.
When the wet nurse heard that she was going to see the general, she immediately grabbed Qingcheng and cried: "Si'er, it seems that the wet nurse has harmed you. This time you beat the second wife, the general will definitely not let you off easily."
Qingcheng smiled, patted the wet nurse and held her hand, and told her not to worry. He turned to look at Butterfly: "I'll be back as soon as I go. You keep an eye on your mother."
"Miss." Butterfly whispered worriedly, but she didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, I am Jingren's wife in name only. The general will also look at Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Even if he wants to do something, he has to ask Jingren if he agrees, right?" Nanny and Butterfly were obviously relieved when they heard this.
Qingcheng left Lanyuan without looking back. What he said to himself was just to reassure the mother and daughter. In fact, he was forced to marry Jingren, and they paid homage to each other, but they did not become husband and wife.
.Now that Jingren has laid off Qingqing and beaten the second wife himself, the general must be very angry. What awaits him is unknown to him as well.
In the hall, the general and the first lady were saying something to the second lady who was still lowering her head and sobbing quietly.
As soon as Qingcheng entered the door, all eyes turned to her, and the general and the eldest lady also stopped talking.
"You have grown so much that you forced Jingren to put Qingqing to death, and now you dare to attack your own second wife?" Before she could step forward, the general's violent voice came over.
When the second lady, who was bowing her head and crying, heard that Qingcheng was coming, she immediately stood up from her chair and knelt down in front of the general, sobbing: "Master, it's not Qingcheng's fault. It's all Yuhua's fault. Yuhua shouldn't take advantage of this.
I scolded Qingcheng and beat Zhang's mother. I beg you to let Qingcheng go. If you want to blame me, you can only blame Yuhua."
Qingcheng stood there with his eyes wide open, not knowing which song they were singing. The second lady who just wanted to cut herself into pieces was now begging the general for his mercy.
Seeing that the general did not say a word, the second lady knelt and crawled to Qingcheng's feet again, tugged on the hem of her skirt, and looked up at her, with tears still on her face: "Qingcheng, second lady, please, please do it."
Let Qingqing go! Let her go, and Er Niang will kowtow to you." After saying that, without waiting for Qing Cheng to reply, Er Madam kowtowed her head heavily to the ground.
"Mother." With a cry, a small figure rushed over from the side door, leaned over and hugged the second lady on the ground tightly, crying and shouting: "Mother, get up, don't do this, Qingqing won't marry, Qingqing
I won’t marry anymore.”
"Pa." There was a crisp sound that no one in the hall expected, and the second lady slapped Qingqing.
"You have been divorced by the Captain, and you don't want to marry? If you don't marry, then go to hell! You can't afford to disgrace this man, my mother can't afford to disgrace him, and the General's Office can't afford to disgrace him!" A sharp voice echoed in the room.
In the hall, it penetrated directly into Qingcheng's heart.
Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of the Second Madam, touched her beaten face and forgot to cry. Her eyes widened in horror and she was dumbfounded. She listened numbly to everything the Second Madam said. After staring at her for a moment, she stood up and turned around.
Ran out.
The second lady knelt down at Qingcheng's feet, no longer crying, and no longer dragging Qingcheng to beg her. She just stared at the general and the first lady sitting on them with empty eyes.
"Second Madam, get up." Qingcheng suddenly couldn't bear it and squatted down to pull up the Second Madam on the ground.
The second lady suddenly reacted as if she had been reminded. She held on to Qingcheng tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Qingcheng, second lady, please, please let Qingqing go. You let her live. Second lady will never see her again."
I won’t embarrass you anymore. Er Niang expressed her modesty to you for what happened in the past. Really, I express my humility to you." With that said, the second lady was about to kowtow to her again, but before she could lower her head, she was stopped by Qingcheng.
Looking at the almost desperate eyes of the second lady, Qingcheng said doubtfully: "I didn't let Jingblade put Qingqing to death! And no one let Qingqing die?"
There seemed to be disbelief in her eyes. Across Qingcheng, the second lady cast her gaze behind her.
Qingcheng turned around and met the indifferent eyes of the general and the eldest lady.
"It's not good, it's not good, the third lady jumped into the lake!" A maid shouted in panic, approaching from a distance.
"Qingqing." The second lady exclaimed as if she was awakening, got up, and stumbled towards the lake.
