Chapter 124 We will die together!
Zheng had completely lost her mind at this point. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "I don't care. You forced me to do this. Since you are so heartless, I have nothing to worry about."
Shen Jiyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at Zheng and said word by word: "If you dare to go to the Dali Temple, I will make you live a life worse than death."
However, Zheng would not listen to any threats at this time.
There was only despair and anger in her heart, and she decided to fight for a chance of survival at all costs.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? The worst that can happen is that we both die together."
"You hate me so much?"
Shen Jiyuan was shocked. He always thought that Zheng loved him and would not let him get hurt, but now she wanted to die with him?
"My Lord, what kind of joke are you making? Is love something we should talk about at our age? I did love you, but I was already exhausted when you broke your promises to me and abandoned me time and time again!"
Zheng looked at him with eyes full of mockery. She had clearly promised her the position of mistress, but now she wanted to drive her out of the house.
How ridiculous!
She had endured humiliation and been a concubine for so many years, and had been ridiculed for so many years, but now she ended up being kicked out of the Marquis's Mansion.
How could she be willing to do this?
Wan'er is going to marry the prince soon. Even though she is a concubine now, she will surely become the principal wife or even the mother of a country in the future because of the prince's favor.
At that time, she would definitely be classified as a first-rank lady.
But now Shen Jiyuan wanted to kick her out, and she would rather die than do that!
Shen Jiyuan felt a pain in his heart when he heard Zheng's words. Looking at Zheng's resolute expression, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He never thought that the relationship between him and Zheng would reach such an extent.
"Do you think I want to do this? You did such a mistake and almost put the Marquis's mansion in a desperate situation. If I don't punish you, how can I explain to everyone in the mansion?"
Shen Jiyuan tried to justify his actions.
Zheng sneered, "Explanation? When have you ever cared about what others think? You are just selfish and only think about your own interests."
Shen Jiyuan's face turned pale, "Don't talk nonsense. As a marquis, I naturally have to consider the future of the mansion."
"Huh, the future? Do you think Wan'er and I will ever be in your future?"
Zheng questioned.
Shen Jiyuan remained silent. In his heart, he did care more about the interests of the Marquisate, but he was not without feelings for Zheng's mother and daughter.
"Even if you hate me, you should still consider Wan'er. She is going to marry the prince. If you go to the Dali Temple, not only will I be in danger, but even Wan'er will have difficulty protecting herself."
At this point, he had no choice but to move out of Shen Qingwan. He knew that even if Zheng wanted to die with him, she would still consider Wan'er in her heart.
After hearing what Shen Jiyuan said, Zheng's body trembled slightly.
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and worry about her daughter gradually welled up in her heart.
She bit her lip, trying to keep herself calm.
"Do you think I haven't thought about Wan'er? But you are so heartless now, what can I do? If I am kicked out of the mansion, Wan'er will have a hard time in the prince's mansion."
Seeing that Zheng was showing some signs of loosening up, Shen Jiyuan quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"As long as you stop causing trouble, I can let you stay in the mansion until Wan'er has established a firm foothold in the Prince's Mansion, and then make plans."
Zheng still had doubts in her heart, but when she thought about her daughter's future, she had to compromise.
"Okay, I can stop making trouble for now, but you have to promise not to go back on your word again."
Shen Jiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
"I will keep my promise. But you must also remember not to make the same mistake again."
Seeing that Zheng had calmed down, Shen Jiyuan pretended to comfort her with a few words, but as soon as he stepped out of the woodshed, his face instantly darkened.
How could he allow someone who could threaten his career at any time to stay in his house?
Order people to keep an eye on the woodshed and not allow anyone to visit Zheng!
The Zheng family made such a big fuss that Shen Tangan soon got the news.
"Miss, the Marquis is too partial to them and their daughter and has stopped pursuing the matter. Aunt Zheng is even clamoring to report to the police!"
Mu Tao was indignant. Zheng had done such a thing, but the Marquis just let her go.
The second young lady is pregnant and will marry the prince soon, so it is reasonable not to touch her.
But Zheng was just a concubine, and she did the disgraceful thing of selling all the property. Once the news got out, the entire Marquisate would lose face. Yet, the Marquis was able to just cover it up so easily. It was really infuriating!
"no need to worry."
Shen Tangan had an indifferent expression as he looked at the green leaves floating in the teacup, feeling that life was impermanent.
How could a father allow a time bomb to exist around him?
I am afraid that tomorrow morning, there will no longer be a Zheng in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
That night, there was silence around the woodshed, with only the occasional sound of wind.
Zheng sat in the woodshed, feeling uneasy.
She regretted her quarrel with Shen Jiyuan and was worried about her future fate.
She thought back to what happened during the day and felt more and more uneasy.
Although Shen Jiyuan agreed to let her stay in the mansion, she knew Shen Jiyuan's character very well and his promise might not be reliable.
Moreover, now she was locked up in the woodshed with no one to visit her, which made her feel extremely lonely and scared.
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door. When I turned around, I saw a few burly maids walking in.
"who are you?"
Zheng was instantly frightened and instinctively dodged when she saw the person coming.
"take away."
One of the strongest maids looked at her calmly.
With a wave of his hand, the other two came forward. Before Zheng could scream, her mouth was stuffed, her hands were tied behind her back, a sack was put on her, and she was thrown into the carriage.
She struggled frantically but to no avail, these old ladies were obviously martial artists.
"Mrs. Zheng, I advise you to be more obedient. We are following the order of the Marquis to take you to the farm to recuperate."
Zheng Shi listened to the sounds coming from outside the sack and struggled more violently.
She's not sick, why is she going to a farm for recuperation? Do they want her to die quietly there?
The carriage was driving on the bumpy road, and Zheng was crying desperately in the sack.
Her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness, and she didn't understand why she ended up like this.
After a long journey, the carriage finally stopped at a remote farm. Several maids dragged Zheng off the carriage, untied the sack, and threw her into a simple house.
"Mrs. Zheng, from now on, you should reflect on your mistakes here. The Marquis said that as long as you truly repent, you may still have a chance to return to the Marquis' Mansion."
After saying that, several maids turned around and left, locking the door.
Zheng looked around at the simple environment and felt sad.
She knew that she had no way out and could only hope that Shen Qingwan would gain power in the Prince's Mansion and rescue her.
In the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Qingwan was extremely anxious when she learned that her mother was sent to the farm.
She wanted to ask Shen Jiyuan to release her mother, but she was afraid of angering her father and making things worse.
After all, people are selfish. She doesn't dare to gamble with her bright future, and she doesn't want to be implicated by her mother who was born out of wedlock!
