Chapter 259: Confess the guilty
It looks as if he doesn't know what
it is either.
Lian Jinrong didn't speak, she
gritted her teeth: "Dare you, no matter what happens, Ming Xuan is also
the General's child, and the General will not let you go."
"Then the slave servant will
find out the truth even if I have to fight for my life." Hong Mama gritted
her teeth and headed out.
"How dare you, if you lay your
hands on my son, I will not spare you even as a ghost." Lian Jinrong
shouted.
Hong Mama's footsteps had not
stopped and Lian Jinrong finally shouted loudly, "Come back, I will tell
you what you want to know ......"
As she finished shouting these words,
a bitter smile appeared under her eyes, "Count yourselves cruel, An
Mingxuan, listen, when you grow up, you have to take revenge for your mother
......"
Hong Mama walked back and lifted that
jacket on a stick, "Lian Yiniang can speak now ......"
Lian Jinrong gritted her teeth and
still did not speak.
"Actually, we have already
caught Ah San." Hong Mama looked at her with disdain in her eyes,
"Lian Yiniang, whether you say it or not, the end is the same, the
General is merely giving an opportunity for you to confess."
"Now that you have found Ah San,
what more confession is needed? I admit that I sewed an extra strip of cloth
into this little jacket, that was from the beggar outside who had the plague. I
was trying to harm the young master, that's all, what more do you want to
know?" Lian Jinrong simply spat it all out.
She knew that after she had finished
speaking she would be in the cold palace forever, and her son and daughter
would no longer be able to see her easily.
The General would no longer favour
her either.
She really failed.
Where did it all go wrong, was God
trying to kill me?
Fu Quan and Hong Mama looked at each
other, Hong Mama rubbed that jacket and took it in her hand, looking at Lian
Jinrong's surprised eyes, she spoke: "Eldest Miss found the problem with
the jacket long ago, and didn't take it back at all, but burned it, this one is
just the exact same one she made ...... "
"You ......" Lian Jinrong
pointed at the two people, and almost looked like she was going to spit blood.
After listening to Fu Quan's report,
An Zhongtao's whole body seemed to have aged ten years. He was the cause of all
this misfortune. He had almost led the wolf into the house and almost killed
his own young son.
The light in the study remained on
all night.
An Yanran knelt in front of the door
of the study early the next morning: "Daddy, my mother was just confused
for a while, she knew it was wrong, and my mother did not sleep all
night..."
"She is your Yiniang(aunt),
don't forget... "An Zhongtao's voice is as cold as water.
Seeing this, An Yanran changed her
tone and said, "Lian Yiniang she did make a mistake, but after all,
she did it because she loved daddy ......"
"What do you mean? Did you
follow the same bad example?" When An Zhongtao saw An Yanran pleading for
Lian Jinrong, he couldn't help but get angry as well.
At this time, An Qinran also came
over, her face covered with a veil, only a pair of eyes as if containing
autumn water*: "Father, I have also come to plead for Yiniang..."
*limpid autumn waters (trad.
description of girl's beautiful eyes)
"And you're pleading for
her?" An Zhongtao looked at An Qinran in disbelief.
An Qingran nodded slightly: "I
will not excuse her actions, but I just pity this pair of younger siblings.
They are so young and need to have the care of their Yiniang. I also ask
father to impose only a small punishment for her actions, and you should not be
angry!"
An Yanran looked at An Qinran in
surprise, her heart shook for a moment, but she soon felt that she had come to
show her kindness, I guess, and that she would not appreciate her.
An Zhongtao was really touched by An
Qinran's generosity: "Qinran, I am very happy that you can do this. It's
just that this matter is not something you children can understand, so you
should not say anything, I naturally know what's going on in my heart."
An Qinran said: "Yiniang
will definitely learn her lesson after this incident. She won't do anything
more drastic again. I have also asked my mother to accept my sister as a Di daughter,
so Yiniang will have no other thoughts, so I would ask father to spare
her this time."
"Go back, Father's heart knows
...... Also, Yanran, you also don't beg for her, if you beg again, I won't even
see you." An Zhongtao has completely two different attitudes towards An
Yanran and An Qinran.
An Yanran knelt and kowtowed again,
but An Zhongtao only had her sent back, and did not promise her to spare Lian Yiniang.
And An Qingran finally returned to DongNuange.
An Zhongtao was very pleased with her pleading, his Di daughter was
different from his concubine daughter in the end. This daughter was dignified
and had the majestic of a great General.
When Lian Jingyu saw her return, she
couldn't help but go up to her daughter and help her sit in the chair:
"Qingran, are you feeling better today? Let mother take a look."
When she saw it, she felt a pang of
sadness in her heart.
Although she knew there was no
improvement at all, she dared not tell the truth, for fear of upsetting her,
and just passed it off. "Qingran, did you already know that there was
something wrong with that little jacket? Did you already know that Lian Jin
Rong had done this? How could you hide it from Mother for so long?"
"Mother, I didn't know at first,
I only found out later that my Yiniang did it, and it turned out to be
too late ......" An Qingran didn't tell her mother that she suspected her
grandmother's at first.
Lian JinYu was heartbroken:
"This Lian Jinrong, I don't know how the General will deal with her.
Really no matter what disposal is given. Doesn't she think about coming out
again ......"
An Qingran nodded, "That's the
best."
In fact, what she had in mind was to
put an end to it forever.
Mingchen almost died at her hands.
How could she be soft-handed?
But this is something she would never
say to anyone to death, otherwise she would be that snake hearted herself.
Lian Jinrong is sitting in the room
cursing, the matter of the little jacket has just been revealed, not too early,
not too late, this is trying to screw herself to death, she thought she had
done it very secretly, but did not expect that it was found out, how was it
found out?
If it was the host mother who was not
so attentive, it must have been An Qingran.
With An Qingran, everything was not
as good as she wanted it to be.
She gritted her teeth, but at the
same time worried about how she was going to turn it around this time.
Lian Jinrong was at a loss for words
when An Yanran came crying from outside and told her that she had just pleaded
with her father for mercy and that he did not express his state that his
position would not take a stand. She also said that An Qinran had also pleaded
for her. Lian Jinrong said in a deep voice: "Don't you mention An Qinran
to me ...... she is a viper."
An Yanran didn't understand her
mother's meaning, she was just worried.
An Mingxuan was also aware of the
unusual moment, sitting outside with An Yanran and crying. The Mama who were on
guard were very impatient, the General had given a deadly order that no one was
allowed to see Lian Jinrong.
So, there was nothing else they could
do but cry.
At this moment, Lian Jinrong looked out
of the window at the waning moon, and her heart was incomparably sad.
After two days, An Zhongtao's
decision on the handling of Lian Jinrong still had not come out. An Qingran
stood in her courtyard, looking at the herbs that filled the courtyard, and
there was coldness in her eyes.
