Chapter 473: My Life Is Saved
The local temples in the northern part of the city are gathering places for beggars; the consequences of seeking a man there are predictable.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qingli immediately showed a terrified expression, crawled over and grabbed the hem of Fang Tang's robe: "Lord, you can't do this to me, I was wrong, I was really wrong, A'duo and A'ze are both your children, I only said that because I wanted Chen Guoliang's family fortune."
Fang Tang was about to kick the person away when a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he put his foot down again: "What did you say?"
“Lord, I know my crime is unforgivable, but I saw that the Lord’s mansion is now in dire straits. I have no other ability, and this body of mine has caught the eye of Chen Guoliang. I thought that since the second branch of the Chen family has no descendants, if Aze becomes Chen Guoliang’s son, then his huge fortune can be acquired. That’s why I lied.”
"Heh, so you're saying I should thank you?"
"No." Sun Qingli cried, tears and snot streaming down her face. Coupled with the bruises and swelling from the beating, she looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from the dignified lady of the lord. "Lord, you know that Chen Guoliang has a thing for this kind of thing. He took a liking to me, and I initially refused. But he said that if I didn't comply, he would go after you, Lord, and tell everyone that I seduced him. Then I wouldn't be able to live either. What about A'duo and A'ze?"
Fang Tang fell silent.
"My lord, I know my sins are unforgivable, but A'duo and A'ze are innocent, sob sob sob..."
"Get up." Fang Tang's expression was unreadable.
Sun Qingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her life seemed to be saved and she wouldn't be abused by those lowly beggars anymore. She could start making plans slowly from now on.
She was able to oust Qi Miao'er back then, and she'll be able to win Fang Tang back in the future.
"Thank you, Lord." Sun Qingli slowly got up. "Lord, I know that I have committed many sins. I am willing to go to the Buddhist hall in the backyard to cultivate myself. From now on, I will no longer concern myself with anything in the manor."
"Hmm." Fang Tang nodded. Qi Miao'er's matter had already damaged his reputation, so Sun Qingli could not be let go. She could only slowly die of illness. However, before that, keeping her alive might be useful. "It's good that you think this way. But you don't need to go to the Buddhist hall in the backyard. Go to Yiyun Pavilion instead."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Sun Qingli tidied her hair. "I know that Your Excellency has a beloved person who is about to give birth. I can't let that younger sister suffer. The child should be Your Excellency's legitimate son."
Fang Tang's eyes flashed: "I will arrange that. As long as you behave yourself, I will not forget our past friendship."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Fang Tang turned and left Qingli Courtyard, instructing the steward Fang Zhong to take people to send Sun Qingli to Yiyun Pavilion.
Yiyun Pavilion is very dilapidated. When Yunyi first came back, she wanted to control Yunyi, so she prepared Yiyun Pavilion for her, but Yunyi never went there. Now it has become her residence.
Sun Qingli suppressed her anger and resentment and quickly moved to Yiyun Pavilion.
None of the servants went with them; only Granny Lou and Pearl were there to serve them.
Pearl had been with Sun Qingli since she was a child. Originally, she and Ershan were in love, but because Chen Guoliang took a liking to her, she could only be slept with by him. She wanted to leave the capital, but the indenture was in Sun Qingli's hands, and she had no money. Even if she left the capital, she might not be able to survive.
Now that Sun Qingli has lost power, she feels it's her chance to steal her indenture and leave.
Granny Lou was originally a lowly servant girl who became the head nanny after following Sun Qingli. Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Sun Qingli would recover, and she also believed that Sun Qingli would definitely regain her status one day. So, she came here willingly.
"I'm in trouble now." Sun Qingli looked at the two of them and sighed softly. "You two are still willing to follow me. I will remember this kindness."
“What you say, Madam, is right. I am your servant, and whatever you do is what I should do.” Granny Lou smiled. “You rest here for a while, and I will go to the kitchen to get some food.”
After Granny Lou left, Sun Qingli looked at Pearl and said, "Pearl, I know you hold a grudge against me."
"The slaves dare not."
"It's not that we don't dare to, but that we don't have the ability."
Pearl remained silent.
"But you should also understand my difficulties. The Earl is a sentimental man. He could abandon Qi Miao'er when she was kind to him, let alone me? The affection from our youth has long been exhausted in the past ten years. He is only upset because I found someone else. If someone really offered her real money, he would give it to her even if his mother were still alive, let alone me."
Pearl kept her head down and remained silent.
“Now that I am in trouble, I will never forget your kindness in following me. In the future, as long as I get out of here, I will definitely promise you a bright future.” Sun Qingli held Pearl’s hand.
Pearl smiled and said, "These are all things this servant should do." But the smile didn't reach her eyes. Having served Sun Qingli for so many years, how could she not understand her mistress?
Once she regains her status, she'll probably kill me first, after all, I witnessed her downfall.
Therefore, she needs to hurry up and find a contract of servitude.
Yunyi had no idea what the people from the Earl's Mansion had done. She had already been invited to the main hall. After all, since two people had fainted because of her, this matter had to be discussed no matter what.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Bonian were very anxious, Chen Guodong and his brother were very angry, only Yunyi remained calm.
"Fang Yunyi, given your behavior, we have no choice but to ask the Earl to come over," Chen Guodong sighed.
"Your Excellency, are you sure you want my father to come?" Yunyi asked excitedly. "My father hasn't been in a good mood these past few days. After all, his son, whom he has carefully raised for more than ten years, has suddenly become someone else's... and his daughter..." She suddenly stopped talking, looking like she had said something wrong.
Fang Yunze and Fang Yunduo are twins, a boy and a girl. If Fang Yunze is Chen Guoliang's son, then Fang Yunduo is his daughter.
Yu Lan and Chen Bonian couldn't help but exchange a glance. They had invited someone to rescue their daughter, but it seemed like this Miss Fang had come specifically to provoke them.
Chen Guodong's face turned ugly again.
Chen Guoliang's eyes, however, held a hint of excitement. He had a bunch of women in his household, but he only had one son, who was an idiot. He even had a grandson who was an idiot. If things continued like this, when he passed away, his vast family fortune would belong to someone else, and his branch of the family would be cut off.
If Fang Yunze really is his son, then... he will have a successor.
