Chapter 261: Exposing the True Face and Cutting Off the Way Back
These people didn't treat her like this before!
Dogs look down upon people!
No matter what, she is the niece of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion!
He's half a master!
"I want to see my aunt. Please let her know."
Although the servant had a bad attitude, he still went to deliver the message.
The eldest lady was taking medicine and her body had not yet fully recovered. When she heard that Liao Yunfei wanted to see her, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe.
"Madam, don't be angry. You're just getting better." The nanny quickly advised.
"Go and see what she is going to do." The eldest lady covered her chest and waved her hands.
"Yes." Nanny immediately obeyed.
Liao Yunfei was waiting outside anxiously. Her aunt was the softest-hearted one and would still meet her. After all, she loved her so much. She prepared a lot of words to coax her aunt.
Even if her aunt refused to forgive her, she would take this opportunity to enter the mansion to pack up her things and take away the savings she had worked so hard to accumulate.
That is the money that she will rely on in the future!
The door opened and it was Mammy who came out.
Liao Yunfei's face was a little stiff, and in an instant it changed into a pitiful expression, "Mammy, doesn't my aunt want to see me?"
"Miss cousin, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly and I will help you convey it."
Cousin, even the name seems unfamiliar.
Is this to cut ties with her?
"I want to see my aunt. There are some things I want to say to her in person."
"My cousin, it is important for a person to know himself. What qualifications do you have to see the first lady now? Don't you know how sad your actions have made the first lady? The first lady has been planning for you wholeheartedly. How can you let her face the Luo family and how can she face the Huaiyang Palace?"
"It's all my fault. Please let me admit my mistake to my aunt in front of her," Liao Yunfei pleaded pitifully.
"The Madam doesn't want to see you."
Liao Yunfei suddenly knelt down, "Mammy, please tell my aunt, I will kneel here and apologize to her until she is willing to see me."
"You..." The nanny had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Not long after Liao Yunfei knelt down, Ji Chuhe's carriage slowly approached from a distance.
She had already changed into the carriage she usually used for traveling. The gatekeeper recognized her at a glance and greeted her warmly.
Ji Chuhe got off the carriage and saw Liao Yunfei kneeling outside the mansion.
"Madam, how dare she come to the Duke's Mansion?" Mianzhu said in surprise.
Ji Chuhe walked slowly forward and came to Liao Yunfei's side, "Ms. Liao, why are you kneeling here?" She asked knowingly.
When Liao Yunfei heard Ji Chuhe's voice, her face tightened and a sense of humiliation surged in her heart.
"Are you here to see your aunt? Get up and come in with me."
Liao Yunfei immediately raised her head and looked at Ji Chuhe in surprise.
I don’t know what Ji Chuhe is thinking.
However, since Ji Chuhe was willing to take her into the mansion, she couldn't ask for more.
"Thank you, Madam Sir. I heard that my aunt was sick, so I wanted to see her." Liao Yunfei found a plausible excuse for herself.
Ji Chuhe didn't respond and walked into the mansion.
Liao Yunfei hurried to catch up.
The nanny was now replying to the eldest lady.
"Madam, she said she wanted to admit her mistake to you and even knelt down. It seemed like she would not get up from her knees until you saw her."
"It's embarrassing!" The eldest lady's chest heaved with anger, "Let her in. The Duke's Mansion can't afford to lose this person!"
"Yes." As the nanny walked out, she saw Ji Chuhe leading Liao Yunfei in.
"Madam, why are you... together?"
"I saw her kneeling outside the mansion. It would be bad if someone saw her, so I brought her in. Is my aunt feeling better today?"
"I just took some medicine and I feel better."
"I'm going to go see my aunt." Ji Chuhe walked in.
Of course she couldn't just bring Liao Yunfei in and leave, there was more fun to watch.
Liao Yunfei also quickly followed in.
As soon as Ji Chuhe walked in front of the eldest lady, Liao Yunfei squeezed over and knelt directly opposite the eldest lady, pushing Ji Chuhe aside.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. What I did made you sad. It's all my fault. Beat me to death!"
Ji Chuhe simply sat on a chair nearby and watched Liao Yunfei's performance quietly.
The dowry issue alone is enough to give Liao Yunfei a headache, right?
How could Concubine Luo use her own money to prepare a dowry for Liao Yunfei?
Liao Yunfei came to the Duke's Mansion, and confessing her mistakes was just an excuse, the real reason was for the dowry.
"Based on what you have done, I would never feel relieved even if I beat you to death!" The eldest lady responded with a cold face.
"Aunt, I know that my death is not worth it! I don't want to defend myself. I am desperate to marry the prince. I am selfish! In addition to falling in love with the prince at first sight, I also want to get close to the Huaiyang Palace. I really want to change my humble status."
"A fourth-rank official, young and promising, with a bright future, married in a formal ceremony, as the principal wife, isn't that enough to give you face?"
"Compared to the royal family, these are nothing!" Liao Yunfei pulled the corner of the eldest lady's clothes and continued pitifully: "Aunt, I have suffered so much, I don't want my children to suffer with me."
"I saw how well the Crown Prince's wife treated her concubines. When a concubine became pregnant, she took good care of her. Just like the Duke's Mansion, she would never mistreat concubines or illegitimate children. If I were to become a concubine for the Crown Prince, the child I would give birth to in the future would have royal blood, and her fate would be completely different from mine."
"Compared to the strange place of Luo's family, I would rather not care about status and enter the prince's backyard, which is a closer relationship! My aunt is so good to me and treats me as her own child. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion is also so good to me. I don't want to marry out. I want to continue to stay in this warm and cozy home, instead of just being treated as a relative in the future."
Liao Yunfei burst into tears.
The eldest lady's frown relaxed a little.
"Aunt, only in this way can I not be considered a married girl, and I have not left you! Aunt, please believe me, I will never fight with the prince's wife for anything, I just want to live in peace in the prince's mansion. I know that I am ignorant and have done disgusting things for my own selfishness. Aunt, please have pity on my infatuation and forgive me."
If it is true as Liao Yunfei said, that she couldn't bear to leave her aunt and the Duke's Mansion, then it is understandable!
"It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. What you should ask for most is the forgiveness of the Crown Prince's wife." The eldest lady looked at Ji Chuhe apologetically.
"So this is the reason why Miss Liao insisted on marrying the prince. After knowing the inside story, I was quite touched." Ji Chuhe said sincerely, standing up and helping Liao Yunfei up.
"Aunt, the prince only has two concubines, and the family will definitely need to add someone in the future. Instead of marrying someone else, it's better to have a closer relationship."
Liao Yunfei sneered in her heart.
After she said that, Ji Chuhe believed it?
