Chapter 272: Destroying your wife

"Of course, to find my young master!" Jin Que stamped her feet in anxiety and reminded her, "Didn't you promise to help me plead for mercy? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Oh, that matter..."

Du Ruo did not stop her movements. "I'm busy, let's talk about it later."

"Hey, you..." Jin Que glanced at the few crew members helping nearby, leaned closer to Du Ruo, and then lowered her voice. "What is there to be so busy about? Is my matter more important or is this meal more important? Don't you want the two taels of silver?"

Du Ruo's hand paused.

Then she smiled. "In that case, alright then."

She turned her head to look at one of the crew members. "This big brother, could you please go and call Young Master Bian Dou Dou for me? Just say I have an urgent matter to find him and ask him to come over."

The crew member agreed readily and walked out quickly.

Before long, he returned.

Bian Dou Dou was following behind him.

Seeing that Jin Que was also present, Bian Dou Dou's round face immediately lengthened. He ignored Jin Que and only looked at Du Ruo. "Sister-in-law Jiang, you were looking for me?"

Du Ruo nodded. "Yes, I want to plead for mercy with you."

Plead for mercy?

Bian Dou Dou was stunned and swept a quick glance at Jin Que.

Could it be pleading for Jin Que?

That's impossible, Jin Que wanted to kill Sister-in-law Jiang yesterday...

"It's like this." Du Ruo pointed her chin toward Jin Que and smiled. "Last night, Miss Jin Que said some things to me, and I felt what she said made a lot of sense, so I wanted to ask for your opinion, Young Master Bian."

Jin Que's eyes flickered.

Something is wrong. This tone, this phrasing, why does it sound so strange?

It doesn't sound like pleading for mercy, but rather... snitching.

Before she could react, she heard Du Ruo continue, "Miss Jin Que said that I should put in a good word for her in front of you, using kindness to hold you hostage into forgiving her. That way, she would have a chance to enter your door, become your concubine, and later find a way to destroy your wife and sit in the position of the Bian family's mistress."

Jin Que's eyes suddenly widened.

No, why did she blurt out the truth??

"She also promised me that once she has completely grasped the Bian family's financial power, she would give me a reward of two taels of silver."

"Honestly, I was quite tempted by the two taels of silver, so I agreed to her."

As she spoke, Du Ruo said with a smile, "Young Master Bian, why don't you forgive her this once for my sake?"

Bian Dou Dou, "..."

Jin Que, "..."

The one who was to forgive and the one who was begging for forgiveness both fell silent.

Jin Que was the first to come to her senses. Her knees went weak, and she knelt directly on the ground, reached out to grab Bian Dou Dou's sleeve, and began to cry, "Young Master, please don't listen to her nonsense. Jin Que never said those things. It's her, she is wronging Jin Que, framing Jin Que, Jin Que is innocent..."

Bian Dou Dou shook her off forcefully, his face ashen. "Jin Que, you have truly disappointed me!"

"No, Young Master, please listen to me..."

"No need to say more!"

Bian Dou Dou interrupted her, his eyes full of indifference, no longer holding a trace of the tenderness of the past. "Once we get off the ship, I will have someone send you back to Wutou Xian and hand you over to the mistress to deal with."

Jin Que's vision went black, all the blood in her body rushed to her head, and she almost fainted.

Handed over to the mistress to deal with?

No, absolutely not!

The mistress already disliked her, thinking she couldn't be brought out in public, saying her heart was higher than the sky but her mind was smaller than a needle's eye, and that she had repeatedly incited the young master to go against his elders.

Without the young master's protection, the mistress would definitely sell her to the Liuli Pavilion!

Thinking of this, Jin Que panicked completely. She hugged Bian Dou Dou's thigh and looked up, begging bitterly, "Young Master, Young Master, don't! Jin Que knows she was wrong, really knows she was wrong, and will never dare to do it again! I beg you, Young Master, Jin Que will definitely be obedient in the future, please don't cast me aside..."

Bian Dou Dou looked down at that face, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

The face was still that face, yet it was no longer that face.

If it were in the past, let alone Jin Que crying so miserably, even if she shed a single tear, he would have felt heartbroken to death, wishing he could offer the whole world to her just to see her smile.

But now, his heart was like a pool of stagnant water, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.

It was as if something had separated from his body, and in an instant, he felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

He even suddenly felt that this face... was a bit ugly.

Seeing Bian Dou Dou unmoved, the ugly Jin Que gritted her teeth and aimed her spearhead at Du Ruo, who was watching the show on the side.

"It's you, you are framing me, right!"

Du Ruo looked innocent. "How can you say that? Didn't I follow our agreement and plead for mercy for you? Your young master doesn't agree, and there's nothing I can do."

By this time, how could Jin Que not understand what had happened?

She had been schemed against by Du Ruo!

"You insidious, poisonous woman, I'll fight you..."

Just as she was about to pounce on Du Ruo with claws and fangs, Bian Dou Dou kicked her over and said angrily, "Get out! You are not allowed to harass Sister-in-law Jiang here, otherwise, I will have someone tie you up right now and throw you into the great river to feed the fish!"

Jin Que was stunned, unable to believe that the young master who used to speak sweet words and be gentle and considerate would actually be willing to treat her this way.

Waa!

She was truly heartbroken now, covering her face and running out while crying.

Bian Dou Dou sighed secretly and bowed deeply to Du Ruo. "Thank you for the reminder, Sister-in-law Jiang."

Du Ruo smiled. "It's nothing, as long as you don't blame me for meddling."

"How could I?" Bian Dou Dou's tone was full of shame. "Although my judgment is poor, I still have some brains, so how could I be so ungrateful."

In the past, he had been blinded by shit, which was why he couldn't see Jin Que's true nature.

After the events of these past two days, he could be considered to have had a great awakening.

Jin Que was selfish, cold-hearted, rude, unreasonable, and ungrateful; she could only share wealth but not adversity. Such a woman was not worth his affection.

Sister-in-law Jiang not only saved his life.

She also saved his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Bian Dou Dou said, "How about this, after we go back, Sister-in-law Jiang, go to Zhenbao Pavilion and take twenty or thirty pieces of jewelry. If you really can't wear them all, it's fine to give them away to others."

Du Ruo, "..."

It's no wonder Jin Que had crooked thoughts; the Bian family was indeed wealthy and imposing.

Jin Que ran out crying, feeling both angry and hateful in her heart.

When passing through the dining hall, because she was covering her face and her emotions were agitated, she didn't pay attention and tripped over someone's foot.

She fell face-first on the spot.

She climbed up, grimacing in pain, and glared fiercely at that person.

She already had nowhere to vent her anger, and now she had found a punching bag.

"Do you not have eyes? Can't you see I'm coming? Can't you pull your legs in? Are your legs broken or crippled?"

This hoarse and abrupt loud voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the dining hall.

Including Master Yan and the others who had just entered, preparing to eat breakfast.

When they saw who was throwing the tantrum, the students couldn't help but curl their lips.

It's that maid from the Bian family again.

She really knows how to cause trouble.

They cast their eyes toward the woman who was being scolded, secretly sweating for her.

That woman had an outer garment draped over her head, revealing only a pair of eyes, so her face couldn't be seen. However, judging by her figure, she shouldn't be very old. ===== CHAPTER 273 =====
