Although Madam Wang did not like the Madame Zheng's way of doing things, but this matter had happened in her own home after all. Since this troublemaker was her nephew, she could only come to an agreement with him.
"Madame Zheng, don't be so excited, our family is truly unreasonable. I didn't manage my family's child well, I am very sorry, but, things have happened, we have to think of a way to resolve it."
Seeing Madame Zheng and Aunt talking back and forth, Lin Hongyi finally could not hold it in anymore. He took a step forward and cupped his fists, "Madame Zheng, I am willing to take responsibility."
With your personality, you are still waiting patiently. With your family, you have shamed Second Miss? "This is the point of saying these words. If this were to spread out, it would be laughable."
Lin Hongyi's face immediately darkened, although his family did not have any official positions, but because his family had many businesses, and his uncle's position in the imperial court, he did not suffer any grievances.
Other than having a slight setback in the marriage due to his reputation, he always wanted to be in the limelight and be humiliated by the Madame Zheng in front of everyone.
"Since Madame Zheng is so certain, then forgive me." With another bow, Lin Hongyi took a firm step back and no longer looked at Madame Zheng.
Let alone, Lin Hongyi's good appearance gave him a lot of credibility. His entire body had a biting cold aura, even the Madame Zheng was suspicious of those rumors.
"What fate did you have and what did I say?" The sudden words from Lin Hongyi caused Madame Zheng to be a little confused. She was just furious trying to suppress this rascal, and she didn't even have time to think about what she had just said.
"Didn't you say that my family had reached out to you and humiliated your family's Second Miss? This matter was indeed my fault, I was just blabbering nonsense, Madam, you don't need to worry about it."
These words left no room for change. Even Madam Wang, who was listening at the side, was speechless.
It wasn't a big mistake for a man to be loose with other men. Although his nephew had a bit of a reputation for being loose and loose, he really didn't do something like bullying men and women like those good-for-nothings.
Wandering through the brothels and the garden was not a crime, although his family was not made up of officials, they were still considered wealthy in the Weir Prefecture, so how could they be treated with contempt by the Madame Zheng?
As for Second Miss Zheng, she was hugged by a man in front of a large crowd. Her reputation was ruined just by this alone, if he did not marry her nephew, it would not be easy for her to find a suitable family.
It was possible to become a concubine, but as a direct descendant of the Prefect, if she became a concubine, the atmosphere would become even more lively. It would be hard to say if the Prefect could not make it out.
"I know it's too late to say anything now. Madame Zheng, say something now, what do you want to do? My family will do as you wish, and my nephew will be at your disposal."
Seeing Madam Wang's attitude, Madame Zheng panicked. There was nothing to discuss anymore.
"Mrs. Wang, didn't I say that your nephew is too outrageous? He clearly did something wrong, but his attitude is still so arrogant. Did I say anything wrong? With his character, how could he express his sincerity?"
Madame Zheng originally wanted to suppress Lin Hongyi a little, but who knew that he would fail if he really did so? However, he couldn't weaken his own aura, otherwise, with a girl married, he wouldn't have any status to speak of.
My nephew also said that everything is as you wish. Since you do not agree with the Second Miss marrying you, then don't bring this up again, no matter who's at fault, this matter has already happened, and our family will accept your punishment.
So this was what it meant to stop thinking about it and not reply to his words? If she did something wrong, could it be that she couldn't even say a word? How could she marry such a person?
She had forgotten that she was the one who had been pushed down the stairs and had to carry it. Now that she had failed and pushed all the blame onto the other party, she had no idea that she was the one who had messed up the situation.
"What do you mean no matter whose fault? It was clearly his fault, "Madame Zheng said as he pointed at Lin Hongyi," He hugged a girl so nicely and didn't want to take responsibility for it right now.
"Why can't I understand Madame Zheng's words? What do you mean by 'our nephew is hugging the girl'? At that time, there were many people who saw it with their own eyes, and some people were even throwing themselves at him."
"However, even if we were to throw ourselves into his arms, we would have already accepted our magnanimity. However, there is someone who disagrees, and right now, we don't want to be held responsible. I just personally heard my nephew say that he is willing to take responsibility."
When Madam Wang got to the point where she was being agitated, she pointed at Lin Hongyi with her finger and said, "Tell me where your usual cleverness has gone. The young miss will pounce on you whenever she sees you, what does that have to do with you?"
"Yes, it was your nephew's fault. He should have let her fall." His uncle and aunt were singing at the same time. Madame Zheng was so angry that his face turned pale, but he was speechless.
Zheng Qingluo did not know anything about the aftermath. She only knew that the banquet had not even begun and they were already brought back by the Madame Zheng.
Young miss, this servant will go and find out. Lady Wang's nephew originally wanted to ask to marry to the Second Miss, but our madam rejected him.
"When I don't mention it anymore, the Madam is getting anxious again, she wants me to take responsibility, but she doesn't want me to take responsibility now. This time, it's really bad, Second Miss can't marry, and won't marry anymore."
After hearing the news, Mo Ju was in a hurry to report back. It was safer to ask his personal maids and wives than to do anything else. The personal servants were the ones who knew the truth.
"All of you shut up. This matter ends here. What they did has nothing to do with us. I was grounded again because of this matter. Don't provoke our courtyard again."
Although Mo Li and Mo Ju were not nosy and smart enough, Zheng Qingluo still warned them not to involve themselves in this matter.
"I know. Third Miss, we won't speak carelessly. It's just that I don't understand. She has already agreed to propose marriage, so why don't you tell her?"
"If no one had seen it back then, it would have been fine to quietly let the matter pass, but with so many people watching, it wouldn't have been able to be concealed. I wonder what Madam was thinking. How did you miss such a good opportunity?"
Regardless of who it was, they would definitely fight for the marriage right away. Otherwise, the one who would suffer would be the young miss. Since she had lost her good name and failed to marry, wouldn't that mean she could only hone her hair and act as a concubine?
Who the hell are you? It's not enough for the Second Miss to bully our Third Miss. Instead, you're worrying for her.
No matter what the outcome is, it has nothing to do with us. When he thought about Zheng Qingyan's usual arrogant and haughty look, Mo Li could not help but get angry.
The Third Miss had suffered a lot at her hands. The worst case scenario was that she had almost lost her life.
"What am I worrying about? I'm just a little confused. Am I stupid? If I can't figure it out, then what else does our Lady have?" She scratched her head and made a mess of her smooth hair.
"You really think too highly of her. Just look at what she does normally. All of her little thoughts are focused on dealing with our Third Miss and trying to curry favor with the Master."
"If she's a little crazy, and things don't turn out this way, then I don't understand. Why is it that she's so muddle-headed, and even Master can't see her clearly?"
It must be said that the truth was out. The Madame Zheng had used all her remaining wisdom on the Great Master, and had completely understood her mind. Because of this, the Great Master had fallen for him.
"You don't have to fight over this matter. This matter has nothing to do with us. Whether she marries or not is under the control of the old master and the young mistress, so it's not our turn to worry."
"We only care about living our own lives. You just need to remember to keep your mouths shut. Don't let a single word of what you just said leak out."
