Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Chapter 553: Punishment_1

Luo Fugui heard these words and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

But before he could celebrate, he heard Bai Qingyan continue, "Luo Fugui’s death penalty is pardoned, but his live punishment is inevitable. Cut off his tongue, break his legs, and throw him out of the Dong Mansion. From today onwards, he is not allowed to step into the Dong Mansion again!" Bai Qingyan finished speaking and then set her sights on Qiu Huan. "Qiu Huan is Nanny Wang’s niece; I will not deal with her... Grandmother should handle it!"

As soon as Bai Qingyan’s words fell, two sturdy servants came in immediately, dragging Luo Fugui out.

"Changmao! Changmao!" Luo Fugui cried in fear, "Changmao, I am your uncle! I did all this so you could gain a foothold in the Dong Mansion! Save me! Save me! I won’t dare anymore! I won’t dare anymore!"

Seeing Dong Changmao unmoved, Luo Fugui cried out again, "Princess of Zhen, please understand! It was that bitch Qiu Huan who brought the undergarments to me, saying she had a way to help me marry the personal maid of the Princess of Zhen! Princess, please spare me!"

Qiu Huan trembled all over, kowtowing straight away. "No! This maid did not! It’s all Luo Fugui framing me! Aunt... Aunt, please plead for me!"

Kneeling on the ground, Dong Changmao looked extremely embarrassed. Dong Changlan helped him up, "Cousin didn’t say she would punish you! She knows it has nothing to do with you; you don’t need to be so fearful."

Madam Dong looked at Qiu Huan, who was curled up into a ball, and spoke slowly, "Qiu Huan, your aunt has served by my side for many years, indeed with great effort. She has done her best for you. She once arranged for you to serve in my room, but your ambition was too great. My courtyard could not contain you. Now, not only did you steal, but you dared to collude with an outsider to scheme against the maid by the Princess of Zhen’s side, ruining her reputation. According to my old temper, I would drag you out and beat you to death in front of the whole mansion as a warning..."

"It’s all this old slave’s fault!" Nanny Wang cried as she knelt down, "This old slave always cherished this one daughter left by her brother and protected her blindly, making this ignorant dead girl dare to plot against the Princess of Zhen’s maid. This old slave knows Madam Dong and the master, as well as the lady, have been lenient many times because of this old face. I have no face to plead for this dead girl again. Please, Madam Dong, punish her according to the rules! Otherwise, I have no face to serve by your side anymore."

After speaking, Nanny Wang kowtowed heavily.

"Nanny Wang, get up! I am old now, and there are not many people I can talk to. I can’t be without you! Besides, this was Qiu Huan’s doing; it has little to do with you!" Madam Dong said, looking at Qiu Huan. "Your brother only left this one daughter. If you take care of her and marry her off, it would be worthy of your brother. I will decide to cane Qiu Huan fifty times. If she survives, I will marry her to Liu Zhuangtou’s son. Though it’s a second marriage, Liu Zhuangtou’s son is honest and a good match!"

"No! No, Madam Dong! That Liu Zhuangtou’s son is a fool! Aunt... he is a fool!" Qiu Huan cried with wide eyes, pleading with Nanny Wang. "Aunt! Aunt, you are my only relative! You can’t watch me jump into the fire pit! Letting me marry a fool is worse than letting me die! Aunt, this is watching me die!"

Nanny Wang nodded. According to the rules, Qiu Huan caused such a big trouble, implicating the reputation of the Princess of Zhen. It would not be excessive even to beat her to death. However, Madam Dong, considering Nanny Wang, still arranged a marriage for her. Though Liu Zhuangtou’s son was a fool, his family was substantial, and it was a good family!

"Thank you, Madam Dong!" Nanny Wang kowtowed to Madam Dong.

"No! No, Aunt, you promised my father to take care of me! You can’t watch me marry a fool!" Qiu Huan cried loudly.
