I insist

Chapter 488: Pleading for Mercy

"Of course, don't worry, go back and rest. Leave this to us."

Madam Leng said softly with a smile.

Madam Gao gave Madam Leng a deep look, and finally said softly, "Alright, then I'll wait for Madam Leng to bring me good news."

"Alright, then you should go back and get some rest. When Min'er comes out, she'll need you to take care of her," Madam Leng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gao understood what she meant. She stood up, bowed to her, and then left.

After seeing Madam Gao off, Madam Leng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat in her chair, her face extremely ugly, and for the first time felt that Leng Qiulian should be punished properly.

Leng Qiulian was living in fear in her boudoir when someone suddenly told her that Madam Leng had met with Madam Gao and that the matter had been resolved.

Hearing this, Leng Qiulian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, it's good that Grandma has resolved the matter. Let's go see Grandma now and thank her."

Upon seeing Madam Leng sitting in the chair, Leng Qiulian rushed into her arms with a beaming smile, pleading and crying, "Grandma, your granddaughter is innocent!"

The Gao family said that on purpose to drag me into this mess, and I never expected Song Miqiu to be so capable, Grandma.

Madam Leng was unusually angry. She pulled her hand out of Leng Qiulian's arms and said coldly, "Go kneel down in front."

Leng Qiulian looked at Madam Leng in disbelief: "Grandma."

"Am I not allowed to speak? I told you to kneel down, don't you understand?" Madam Leng said coldly, enunciating each word clearly.

She naturally understood, but she hadn't expected it. She got out of Madam Leng's arms, walked to her, knelt down, and looked up at Madam Leng innocently.

"Are you innocent? If only one person says you did it, I might suspect that someone else is framing you. But if many people say this, are you saying that a whole group of people are framing you?"

This was the first time Madam Leng had been so angry. Leng Qiulian was also startled and could only kneel on the ground, looking at her timidly.

"I used to think your grandfather was too cruel, but now it seems he was right. If you continue like this, who knows what heinous things you might do?"

You'd better stop being so willful. I'll be looking for a husband for you these next few days and marry you off as soon as possible."

Madam Leng then made up her mind to marry Leng Qiulian off.

Leng Qiulian never expected her to have such an idea. She knelt on the ground and said, "Grandma, I don't want to get married. I really know I was wrong. I don't want to get married!"

"You have no choice. Otherwise, your grandfather will send you to Yintian Prefecture. You can choose for yourself. This time, I can't control you."

After saying that, Madam Leng stood up and walked outside without even glancing back at Leng Qiulian.

Leng Qiulian collapsed to the ground. She was terrified when she thought of what the Prime Minister had said before. Now that Madam Leng was no longer taking care of her, she had no choice but to obey.

Madam Leng naturally knew Song Miqiu, and she was very clever. Instead of going directly to Song Miqiu, she went to her residence to find her daughter-in-law.

Tian Yumei opened the door and was startled to see a complete stranger standing outside. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Who are you?"

Madam Leng smiled slightly: "Madam, don't be afraid, we're here on business."

Tian Yumei sized up Madam Leng and figured she must be rich and noble. Moreover, Song Miqiu was a royal physician, so she subconsciously assumed that Madam Leng had come to see her mother-in-law.

“If you’re looking for my mother-in-law, she’s at the clinic right now, not at home. You’ve probably made a wasted trip,” Tian Yumei said.

“Madam, you misunderstand. I’m not here to see her, I’m here to see you,” Madam Leng said.

Tian Yumei frowned slightly: "You've come looking for me? We don't know each other, why have you come looking for me?"

"Can't you invite me in for a seat? There are some things that are better discussed privately," Madam Leng said with a smile.

At this moment, Tian Yumei realized what was happening. She quickly invited Madam Leng into the mansion and then led her to the main hall.

Then the servants quickly served tea before leaving.

Madam Leng has been looking at this courtyard since she came in. She thinks it's nice, and the servants in this mansion are very good at maintaining proper decorum.

“This courtyard is a good choice; Madam has excellent taste,” Madam Leng said first.

Tian Yumei smiled slightly: "Madam, you misunderstand. This courtyard was chosen by my mother-in-law, not me. She has good taste. We all benefited from her."

Madam Leng was surprised that she would say such a thing. She looked her over carefully. If there hadn't been no other way, she really wouldn't have come here.

Seeing that Madam Leng seemed a little distracted, Tian Yumei didn't speak first, but just sat in her chair and waited.

Finally, it was Madam Leng who spoke up: "Let's bring everything in."

After she finished speaking, the people who had come with Madam Leng moved all their belongings into the main hall and unfolded them.

Inside, it was filled with gold and silver jewelry and silver, a dazzling sight.

Tian Yumei was not happy about this; on the contrary, she was very frightened. She looked up at Madam Leng and asked, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing, these are gifts for you and your mother-in-law, your subordinates will receive them," Madam Leng said.

“I don’t know you, why should I take your things? Please take them all away, we don’t want them,” Tian Yumei said earnestly.

Madam Leng said, "I am the wife of the Prime Minister, and my husband's surname is Leng. The reason I have come here is that I would like to ask for your help with something. I hope you can help me."

"I'm just an ordinary woman, I can't help the Prime Minister's wife, you must have come to the wrong person." Tian Yumei was now only afraid.

"You haven't come to the wrong person. Here's the thing: my granddaughter and her friend did something foolish, and they already know they were wrong, so they want to ask Dr. Song to let them off the hook."

We had no other choice but to come to you. We hope you can plead with Physician Song on their behalf. They're just children; there's no need to make such a fuss.

Madam Leng spoke to Tian Yumei with a fawning smile.

Tian Yumei just stared at Madam Leng without saying a word. She couldn't make decisions for her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to agree and simply kept quiet.

In Madam Leng's eyes, the offer wasn't enough, so she quickly said, "As long as Madam is willing to help, we can give you anything you want."

"As long as you can put in a good word for her with your mother-in-law."

“Madam Leng, I don’t want anything, and I lack nothing. You should go find someone else to handle this matter. I cannot make the decision.”

Tian Yumei stood up and said in a serious tone.
