Chapter 136 Yangling Hou Kills Three Birds with One Stone, Which Is Exactly What Shen Qing Wants
Haitang took back her raised steps, and Shen Qing forced herself to say, "Who is it?"
Grandma Jiang was very cooperative: "She is a young girl, wearing a veil, I don't know what she looks like!"
"How dare you help her commit murder without even seeing anyone?"
Grandma Jiang was silent.
Shen Qing asked again: "What benefits did she give you?"
Grandma Jiang pursed her lips and chose to tell the truth, "Five hundred taels of silver."
Grandma Jiang has been engaged in midwifery for more than 20 years, but the maximum she can get for each delivery is a few taels of silver. When she meets some wealthy families, she can get more than a dozen taels. Yangling Marquis is the biggest salary she has received over the years. Granny Jiang was naturally tempted by the one hundred taels for a single business deal, but compared to the five hundred taels given by the people behind the scenes, it was still a little short of it.
Haitang's eyes were full of disbelief, "Five hundred taels, buy a life, how dare you!"
Grandma Jiang's eyes were slightly red, "Young girl works as a maid in a wealthy family and doesn't understand the difficulties of poor people like us. My grandson is sick. Just getting medicine costs dozens of taels of silver every month. His parents are useless." Yes, I can’t just watch him die!”
Haitang could understand but disagreed, "But this is not the reason for you to trade one life for another!"
Grandma Jiang stopped talking. Haitang was right, but she had no regrets.
A moment later, Granny Jiang knelt in front of Shen Qing and prayed, "Young Madam, I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I am willing to let Young Madam punish me. I only ask Young Madam to spare my family members. They were not involved in this matter. They are all innocent."
Shen Qing's eyes turned cold, "Innocent? They spent the money you got from killing people, and you say they are innocent? What's more, if you say innocent, no one is more innocent than Aunt Xu and the child in her belly, right? "
After listening to the conversation of several people thoroughly, Yangling Marquis finally understood the whole story. He never expected that the midwife he spent a lot of money to find turned out to be a black-hearted person and almost harmed Qin Luan and The child in her womb.
After knowing the truth of the matter, Marquis Yangling immediately exploded, "You vicious woman, I paid you to come and deliver Aluan, but you actually harmed Aluan while taking my money! You deserve to die!" "
After saying that, he began to struggle fiercely, "Let me go! I'm going to kill this vicious woman with my own hands!"
Shen Qing had a headache due to the noise from Marquis Yangling, and her eyes signaled Chen Qi to gag him again.
The noise disappeared, and Shen Qing suddenly felt much quieter.
As for the person who bribed Granny Jiang, Shen Qing basically guessed it, Qiu Rui.
Five hundred taels was considered a large sum for Lin Xuefu.
Shen Qing ignored Granny Jiang, but let some people let the news out, waiting for the people behind the scenes to fall into the trap.
As for Marquis Yangling who might become the next vulnerability——
Shen Qing thought for a while, but still kept the person by his side to prevent him from going out and causing trouble again.
Half an hour later.
Qin's pitiful screams sounded again in the room that had been quiet.
A group of maids came in and out, bringing hot water and pouring blood at the same time, which made Marquis Yangling's eyes turn red again.
There was a hint of guilt in his heart. If he could have seen the abnormality of Grandma Jiang earlier, Qin Luan would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation... Just thinking of this, Yangling Marquis felt that if Aunt Liang had not grown up, If he bumped into Qin Luan, none of this would have happened.
Seeing Yang Linghou's intention, Shen Qing's eyes were full of irony: Now that things have happened, Yang Linghou still wants to blame others, which is ridiculous and sad. If Shen Qing hadn't planned this today, When the day comes for Qin Luan to give birth, I'm afraid everything will be irreversible. However, what he said was in line with the wishes of Marquis Yangling, "Aunt Liang acted recklessly, causing Aunt Xu to fall into a dangerous situation and hurting the heirs of the Hou family. She should be severely punished. What does father think?"
Marquis Yangling made two "wuwu" sounds. Only then did Chen Qi realize that his mouth was still gagged. He quickly took out the ball of cloth from his mouth again. Marquis Yangling responded instantly: "You are right, you must be severely punished." Liang!"
The depression in his heart continued to build up, and Aunt Liang's knocking down Qin Luan triggered a series of events that became Yangling Hou's only breakthrough.
Shen Qing did not expose him, "Then what does father think we should do?"
Marquis Yangling's face was full of anger, "Hit me twenty times, and then drive him out of the house!"
Marquis Yangling had no feelings for Aunt Liang for a long time. In addition, in the past few days, she had repeatedly contradicted him and was in company with Shen Qing. Now that he had finally caught him, he could not forgive her lightly.
It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to weaken Shen Qing's power.
Marquis Yangling felt that by driving away Aunt Liang, he not only redressed Qin Luan's grievances, but also relieved himself, and even suppressed Shen Qing. This was undoubtedly killing three birds with one stone.
However, Marquis Yangling felt that Shen Qing would not agree.
As expected, Shen Qing frowned and retorted: "Father, this punishment is too severe. In my opinion, three months of grounding is enough."
Marquis Yangling had a rare hard time: "No! The blood in Ah Luan's belly is the direct bloodline of my Mu family, but she was harmed to this point by this sinful woman. But being grounded would be too easy for her!
Don't stop me, I will divorce her today no matter what! "
Aunt Liang pretended to cry: "Master Hou, I have served you for twenty years and even gave birth to Lingyue for you. You can't be so heartless!"
It's okay not to mention Mu Lingyue. As soon as he heard this name, the determination on Yanglinghou's face solidified a little more instantly.
Because of the previous incident between Mu Lingyue and He Wensheng, Minister He, who was originally very supportive of him, suddenly changed his attitude, and Chu Lingxiu even warned him twice.
Shen Qing hesitated, "Father, is this..."
Before Shen Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yangling Hou, "Okay! I'm determined, bring paper and pen!"
Shen Qing glanced at the maid behind him, and the maid ran out to get the four treasures of the study.
Yangling Hou didn't think about it and wrote a divorce letter directly. It was not until he pressed his fingerprints on it that Yangling Hou began to think: Shen Qing's preparations were too efficient and complete?
However, Yangling Hou didn't think that Shen Qing was deliberate, because in his eyes, the Liang family had been expelled from Shengjing, and after leaving Yangling Hou's mansion, Aunt Liang had nowhere to go.
Shen Qing asked someone to hand the divorce letter to Aunt Liang, and the brightness in Aunt Liang's eyes was almost uncontrollable.
Shen Qing played the role perfectly, "Mrs. Liang, you made a big mistake today. My father insisted on divorcing you. I couldn't stop you. But considering that you have served my father for many years, I will allow you to take the items in the courtyard and withdraw 100 taels of silver from the account for future survival."
Marquis Yangling was a little reluctant. 100 taels of silver, just gave it to Mrs. Liang for nothing?
However, when he thought of his "killing three birds with one stone", Marquis Yangling suddenly felt that he could accept it.
After removing the wings around Shen Qing one by one, the Mu family can be back in his hands.
Mrs. Liang's face was gray and she kowtowed to Shen Qing, and her words were sincere, "I thank the young lady for your tolerance."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and took her personal maid Yingchun back to the courtyard to pack up her things.
Yingchun had been with Mrs. Liang for many years, so Shen Qing had given Yingchun's indenture to Mrs. Liang a few days ago, so now the master and servant can leave the Marquis Yangling's mansion together.
Seeing the lonely back of Concubine Liang, Marquis Yangling felt happy, but he didn't see that in the moment of turning around, Concubine Liang's mouth almost stretched to her ears.
After twenty years, she can finally leave the Mu family, this terrible place!
Marquis Yangling never thought that his three birds with one stone was actually what Shen Qing and Concubine Liang wanted.
