Seeing her current situation, Liu Shuxuan loudly defended herself: "Old lady, I am really unjust. I had a fight with Ji'an yesterday and was in a bad mood, so I spent the night in the courtyard."
Then she pointed at Liu Zuan, "I don't know who he is. I've never even met him before. Besides, even if I really wanted to find him, I wouldn't go looking for such a bad old man."
When the old lady heard this, she also looked at Liu Zuan's reaction, but since returning to the Hou Mansion, Liu Zuan seemed to have lost his soul and didn't say a word.
In fact, Liu Zuan himself knew what his fate would be. Regardless of whether he was wrongfully accused or not, his fate was already doomed if he did such a thing.
The old lady also sighed deeply at this moment. Now that the matter has come to this point, is the truth really important?
She glanced at Liu Shuxuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, with pity, then turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "She is your daughter. As of now, you should handle it yourself."
Mrs. Sun was crying and looked very sad, but when she heard what the old lady said, she immediately raised her head and looked at the old lady in disbelief. After a long time, she asked aggrievedly: "Old lady Jun, what do you mean by letting me handle it?"
At this moment, everyone in Yangxin Residence felt something was wrong, and looked at the old lady in confusion.
Feeling everyone's gaze, the old lady held her crutch tightly, closed her eyes and meditated: "The matter has reached this point, and it won't take a morning for this scandal to spread throughout Kyoto.
Rather than passively waiting for this to happen, it is better to make a decisive decision. For the sake of the good reputation of our Marquis Mansion and the century-old reputation of the Liu family, we have no choice. "
Liu Shuxuan looked at all this in disbelief. She actually wanted to kill me, she actually wanted me to die.
Mrs. Sun also understood what the old lady meant, and immediately shook her head hurriedly, kneeling on the ground and begging: "No, old lady, please think of a way, Shuxuan is my only child, and she is also yours." My granddaughter, please spare her this time."
The old lady looked at all this with an indifferent expression. She didn't want to force her granddaughter to death, so she wanted to think of a way.
But as she said, there was no choice.
If she just stole the man, the worst the Zhang family would know about it was Heli.
The small Zhang family does not dare to quarrel with our Hou family.
Although the reputation will not be good in the end, this kind of thing has happened to big families. At least the family will not take it too seriously. At worst, it will be treated as a joke.
But this is what my grandfather and granddaughter are doing. This is not only against filial piety, but also against human ethics.
The most important thing is that he was caught and raped in bed by so many people, and it was impossible to even deny it.
She couldn't stop such a scandal even if she wanted to.
"Spare her?" The old lady looked at Liu Shuxuan with hatred, and continued: "Then wait for the Zhang family to break off the engagement, wait for the entire Kyoto people to see the joke of my Xingyong Hou Mansion, wait for her After being criticized by thousands of people, are you waiting for Liu's reputation to become a street rat, with everyone calling for beatings?"
Zhang Yuhang watched all this calmly. He actually admired the old lady's wit. In this case, although the news had already come, as long as he could be decisive enough.
Using the lives of Liu Shuxuan and Liu Zuan to stop the crowd, even if there will still be many people discussing it, after all, people are dead, and death is the most important thing. With this premise, there will be a standard for what anyone does.
This is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it, but it is too cruel. I don't know if Sun and her daughter can accept it, and whether Liu Zuan, a clan leader, is willing to risk his own life for Liu's reputation.
Liu Shuxuan naturally understood the reason why the old lady did this, but she had to pay for it with her own life. Naturally, she was unwilling and continued to beg on the ground.
When the old lady saw this, she didn't even look at her. She turned to look at Liu Zu'an and lightly opened her lips: "Brother, there are some things that I don't need to say. You should also know what to do. The interests of the family are above all else. What else can you do?" I hope you can understand."
After hearing this, Liu Zuan finally stopped being silent. He stood up slowly, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha."
He didn't speak, but burst into laughter.
When he was almost laughing, he said in a self-deprecating tone: "I, Liu Zuan, have always thought of myself as a capable person, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this.
Not only will it not lead to a happy death, but it will probably end in a state of infamy that lasts for eternity. Life is really unpredictable. "
After saying these words, he was going to go directly to his house, but everyone knew that this would mean goodbye forever.
Liu Shuxuan, who was wailing on the ground, stopped crying at this moment. Even Liu Zuan had to die, so could he be an exception?
When Zhang Yuhang saw this scene, he stood up directly. He took Liu Zuan's hand, turned to look at the old lady, and said in a very angry tone: "Old lady, this happened because of me. If it weren't for me, If you ask the clan elder to see Xie Yongling, you won't be plotted by him, let alone the situation today.
I will go find Third Brother right now, or even worse, if I go find Yongchang Hou, I will be able to restore their innocence. I may also be able to come up with other ways, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be such an extreme thing. "
Zhang Yuhang was extremely irritable at this moment and very unwilling to have this result happen.
Liu Shuxuan originally wanted to get angry when she heard that all this happened because of Zhang Yuhang's son-in-law, but she suppressed her anger when she heard that Zhang Yuhang had a way.
Nothing is more important than surviving now. Even Liu Zuan looked at Zhang Yuhang with a troubled expression. If he could really avoid dying, who would be willing to die?
But when the old lady heard this, she just closed her eyes slightly and sighed deeply. She didn't even know how much she had sighed during this time.
"It's useless, so many people have witnessed this matter, and it is now being circulated in the public. Not to mention Marquis Yongchang, even if His Majesty comes forward, he cannot stop the rumors like a flood.
If we are really framed, of course we can find various reasons to prove our innocence, but if we are caught in the act, and Xie Yongling is fanning the flames behind the scenes, this rumor cannot be stopped except by your lives. "
These words made Liu Zuan and Liu Zuan, who had been hopeful, feel disappointed again. Liu Zuan sneered a few times and left directly, ignoring Zhang Yuhang's advice.
As for Liu Shuxuan, she was slumped on the ground with a look of despair, her heart filled with fear of death.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuhang cursed angrily: "Xie Yongling is bullying people too much, and his Zhan Ninghou Mansion is bullying people too much." Then he looked at the old lady and said, "I will go to Third Brother right away and make sure he delivers justice to us."
Seeing Zhang Yuhang looking aggressively to find someone to settle accounts with Xie Yongling, the old lady's eyes were filled with relief and confusion.
"That's all, you all should go down. Don't go out of the Marquis Mansion casually in the past few days. I'd like to warn the servants in the manor that no one can talk nonsense. Let's wait until the other two members of the clan are old enough to talk about the rest. "
The old lady felt very uncomfortable in her heart after arranging the arrangements for Sun and her daughter to give them their last tender moment.
