Because this granddaughter is good-looking, Aunt Li hopes that she will be able to make a career. Even if she does not become an aunt, she can still ask Madam to be kind and let her go out to marry a civil servant or a minor official - with the Marquis Mansion as a backer, Qingliu is also knowledgeable.

Even if she was born as a maid, there are still people who are willing to marry her. Therefore, Qingliu has been valued and doted on by Grandma Li since she was a child.

Now that she was about to watch her die, Grandma Li really couldn't bear it.

Qingliu's mother, Mrs. Wu, arrived in the courtyard at some unknown time and suddenly knelt down at the feet of Aunt Li: "Mom, you can't ignore Qingliu."

Because the accident happened to Qingliu, someone she knew had already informed her. Knowing that her daughter had done something scandalous, she did not dare to say anything when she came. She only stood quietly near Grandma Li and Qingliu, watching the situation unfold.

Now that her daughter's life is at stake, she has no choice but to speak out.

Grandma Li saw her daughter-in-law kneeling at her feet, and her son also kneeling in front of the crowd. She finally gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Mr. Wei: "Please, madam, save Qingliu's life."

She didn't dare to ask Zhao Jingan to take the blame for Qingliu, she only dared to ask for it like this. No matter what method Wei used, as long as he saved Qingliu's life.

If she were an ordinary servant, she would naturally not dare to do this. But she has done so many things for the Wei family these years by her side. Not only her, but also her son and daughter-in-law have also done many shameful things for the Wei family.

thing.

With these clues in hand, she wanted to bet that the Wei family would not dare to abandon their family because of this matter.

Without her, without their family, the Wei family would definitely be like missing an arm, unable to do anything.

Moreover, the eldest lady has always been generous. She truly loves the children in the house, whether they are her biological children, concubines, or those in other houses. She will never really hit Zhao Jingan because of Qingliu's wrongdoing.

Mrs. Wei looked at Grandma Li's family who were kneeling on the ground, and her teeth itched with hatred. She hated the eldest lady for insisting on doing things according to the rules, and she also resented Grandma Li for wanting Zhao Jingan to take the blame for her granddaughter in vain.

What a big dog.

"Mother Li, so you want the second young master to take the blame for Qingliu?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"Old, I don't dare. I just ask Madam to save Qingliu." Aunt Li kowtowed several times to Mr. Wei.

Qingliu and her parents also knocked on the ground, making a "dong-dong" sound.

"You still say you don't dare? You saw just now that not only the eldest lady, but also the prince also demanded to follow the rules."

The Wei family has a bad temper. In recent years, due to her father's promotion, she has dared to act arrogantly in front of the old lady and the eldest lady, and she has been domineering in all kinds of ways in front of her husband. How can she tolerate the servants who dare to treat her like this?

At this time, she was filled with the anger of being betrayed by her slave, and said coldly with a stern face: "Are you forcing me? Your granddaughter made a mistake, you feel sorry for her and don't let her get the punishment, but you want my son to get the punishment for her.

?”

Grandma Li started to cry, kowtowed and shouted: "I don't dare, I don't mean this. I just want you, madam, to intercede for Qingliu and save her life."

"Madam, madam, it is the fault of the father if a son does not teach me well. I did not teach Qingliu well and made her make a big mistake. Let me bear these thirty mistakes!" Qingliu's father crawled to the feet of the eldest lady and knelt.

Get started.

"My slave is also willing to take the beating for my daughter." Qingliu's mother also said, and shouted to Mrs. Wei, "Second Madam, please calm down, my mother really has no intention of letting the second young master take the beating for Qingliu."

"I am willing to take the blame for my sister." A boy about ten years old squeezed out from the crowd and knelt down next to Grandma Li.

"You, a family, have a loving father and a filial son, and respectful brothers and sisters, but why did you raise such a shameless daughter? Are you all pointing to her to be half the master of the Marquis Mansion, so that she can feel proud in the manor?"

The lady said calmly.

The people who were watching were originally moved by the Li family, but upon hearing the eldest lady's words, their feelings about the family became worse again.

"Well, if I insist on the original punishment, it will appear that I am cold-hearted and inhumane." Anyway, the purpose of driving a wedge between Wei and Grandma Li has been achieved.

"Li Mu, from the Li Mu family, each of you will bear ten pieces of punishment for your daughter, and Qingliu will take another ten. But after the beating, none of your family can stay in the house anymore, they all have to be sold."

The eldest lady glanced at them: "Do you still have any opinions on this decision?"

"Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam." Both Li Mu and his wife kowtowed.

They have been in the Hou Mansion for many years and have accumulated some wealth, so they should be able to redeem themselves.

If that doesn't work, the second lady can buy them with money and put them in the shop. Anyway, they are the second lady's companions, and the deeds are in the hands of the second lady. It's just that the left hand is replaced by the right hand, so there is no need for the second lady to lose.

A sum of silver.

It's just that they don't want to be bought back by the second lady unless they have to. They have been with the Wei family for so many years, and they know very well that the Wei family is extremely petty and will retaliate.

Today, for Qingliu, they forced the Wei family to intercede for them, and the Wei family still hated them. If they bought them, they might be able to sell them to the mines. This woman is ruthless, what can't she do?

But as confidants, they have done a lot of things for the Wei family over the years. If they don't get bought back by the second lady, they leave the house like this. Will the second lady let them go? Maybe if they leave the house on the front foot, the second lady can send them on the back foot.

They silenced them.

Thinking that there was no way to survive, the family suddenly became panicked and regretted their impulsive decision to kneel down and plead for their daughter.

Mrs. Wei also calmed down at this time and regretted pushing the Li family to this point.

Although she could buy back the Li family after they were sold, they could never enter the Hou's Mansion again and could only be used in the shop. As a result, she would have fewer trusted confidants in the Hou's Mansion.

The Li family is very unsafe outside. If someone threatens or bribes her, the chance of betraying her is much higher than if she is kept in the house.

But she could also see that the eldest lady seemed to be specifically targeting her today and would never give her a chance to intercede. Qingliu's thirty pieces of money and the consequences of selling them were inevitable. They were not her own parents.

The burden must be shared by Zhao Jingan who volunteered. Compared with his son, he is just a slave in the family, so he is not that important.

Thinking of her loss, she looked at Zhao Jingli who was standing next to the eldest lady. Wei immediately felt hatred for the eldest lady.

"Let's carry out the execution. But this is my companion. I don't need to worry about how to sell it and where to sell it." She said with a frosty face.

The purpose of making this scene was basically achieved, and the eldest lady stopped talking to the Wei family and directly ordered: "Pull the Li Mu family and Qing Liu to the inner courtyard."
