Mana: Before The Rise 55 Marquis Wife Is A Little Cold 7

She eventually quieted down when Marquis Zheng Rong appeared, she had an innocent face on full of grievance.

"Take care of yourself" he said seeing that she was okay, Rachel stood up and left once he arrived. He looked back at her and wanted to ask some questions.

Concubine Gao's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth as she said, "My lord, aren't you going to investigate who tried to harm this servant?" Drawing his attention back to her, but, the Marquis was more interested in Rachel. Once his mind started working, he started thinking about reason why Rachel was desperate to save the child, he wondered what benefit she had.

As for Concubine Gao she was thinking why had someone suddenly pushed her without rhyme or reason as she was walking? She would obviously get sick if she was pushed into cold water during the middle of winter, so why had someone deliberately pushed her into the water?

Pausing for a moment, He a thoughtful sigh "Did you see who pushed you?"

Concubine Gao shook her head. "I was lost in thought when someone suddenly pushed me from the side. I didn't see who that person was."

When Rachel got back to her room, she smiled and turned to her maid servant Long "There is a change of plans."

"Hey, Cousin-in-law" Said Chen Xuerang from the window, Rachel glanced at the young lady who had taken a fancy to her the first time she met. Glancing at Long who nodded her head and quickly "So, do you know who pushed that pregnant Concubine Gao into the lake."

"...." Rachel was quiet as she was the only person who saw who pushed Concubine Gao, three servants where ahead with lanterns. Followed by the cousins and then First Madam, Concubine Gao and Concubine Fan, Rachel was the behind all of them.

From an outsider's point of view Rachel is the most ideal suspect, but once looked at a little more. It would be clear who the real suspect is.

The person had a rushed plan, and was going to use Rachel as a scapegoat, but things didn't work out because Rachel had caught her maid servant and is an eyewitness to her pus.h.i.+ng Concubine Gao.

There are a few ways Marquis Zheng Rong could go, he could punish the real culprit, Use Concubine Fan or blame the scapegoat. He can not escape this without pus.h.i.+ng it towards someone.

But this is a good opportunity, the female lead had recently blackened and needed to feel powerful. As a result, getting rid of the person she hated most would encourage her.

Besides the many ways she thought of about getting the Marquis to divorce her this one was the most pleasant. She wasn't going to give the Marquis the opportunity to change the result.

"Xuerang, tonight, I am tired and wish to sleep earlier tonight" Rachel pulled her hair pins out and laid them one her table. And then turned to the young stepping closer to the window she smiled. Which gave Chen Xuerang a shock as she had never seen this woman smile before.

"Right now, it's the mountains haven't flattened. The heavens and earth haven't joined. I'm willing to separate from you, my lord and husband."

This sentence made Chen Xuerang frozen as Rachel closed the window. She left not long after that in a rush to talk to her brother Chen Zan.

"Older brother." Chen Xuerang came back from outside and directly barged into his room.

Chen Zan turned his head and helplessly looked at her, "I told you so many times already. Don't directly enter someone's room. You have to remember to knock on the door first."

Chen Xuerang's entire face looked depressed. After sitting down, she said gloomily, "We're siblings, there's no need to keep a distinct separation. I feel upset after speaking with Hanying, so I came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

"Second Madam" Long said as Rachel waved her hand and stopped listening to the siblings.

"Perfect timing" Rachel opened the window again and did and invisible whistle. A beautiful gray bird appeared and landed on her arm. Placing the message in the silver container into it the bird flew off into the starry sky without a single pip or noise.

The Gray Falcon was a reward from a creator, and it was coated with her shadow from sight. It was a very safe servant to have in both older and newer Eras.

"We can cancel the plan LuLu for now" she said "Tomorrow we prepare to move out of the estate."

"Are we returning back to the Xie estate"

"Do you think they would want me back after divorce. No, they will remove me once I step into the estate. I will not have any value to them as a divorced woman." She turned to Long "Looks like we can speed up things"

The Next day Rachel had come to the main courtyard without any of her maid servants. Looking at Wei Cui, her expression had greatly improved. Marquis Zheng Rong had probably successively coaxed her last night.

Wei Cui started with her testimony first, by the way the Old Madam wasn't present for this so the decision would be out of her hands. Once Wei Cui was finished, she ended with "We're all sisters. It wouldn't be good for your servant to make any guesses. My lord, please make the decision instead."

Marquis Zheng Rong glanced at Rachel before he pursed his lips and asked the servants in the back, "At that time, who moved? Or, did anyone feel someone next to herself move? All of you, close your eyes and point. No one is allowed to open her eyes. Otherwise, you'll be driven out of this household."

Rachel stepped forward her eyes hadn't closed at all shocking everyone. "My Lord I had pushed Concubine Gao into the water" she said with an extremely calm expression.

"I can listen to your explanation." Marquis Zheng Rong pursed his lips and said, "Why did you push Concubine Gao into the water?" he felt something was wrong, something was wrong. Last night her knew who really did it and yet.

Wei Cui was shocked and then frowned, she knew that this person clearly saw her push Concubine Gao. Yet, why is she saying such things.

As for the rest, Concubine Fan was also shocked and felt something was wrong. Concubine Gao was also confused and truly didn't think that Rachel pushed her. She was planning to frame Rachel but…..this is really odd.

"I was jealous of Concubine Gao for being with child." Rachel began to explain "I had been informed by a physician that I will never be able to be with a child of my own. The old Madam has also been informed of this. But after pus.h.i.+ng Concubines Gao I had instantly regretted it, she was with child and the child is innocent in these matters.

So, I jumped into to save Concubine Gao." Rachel turned to Concubine Gao "Concubine Gao knows the one who pushed her was me."

Concubine Gao s.h.i.+vered and looked down.

"…." Marquis Zheng Rong was somewhat excited and yet felt something was off. Being infertile was a safe ground for divorce and separation. With this he could separate from Rachel, and yet something seemed off.

"My lord, I have decided to come clean with this information. Because I can no longer stay in the Marquis household knowing full, well, I will never bare a child. As A wife I am unable to maintain my emotions and thus resulted in accident. Should I stay I do not know what I may due next. I plead with the Marquis to divorce this shameful wife." Rachel did a perfect bow she wanted a conclusion quickly before the Old Madam wakes up and starts to put a stop to things.

"This Marquis will take your suggestion and divorce you. Till then you will be confined in your Courtyard and the position of Second Madam will be taken from you" Marquis Zheng Rong had a bad taste in his mouth, it was true he really wanted to divorce this woman. He hatred even before they married, and she had been nothing but an eyesore.

If anyone went deeper into the investigation, they would see that it was his sweetheart that did the deed. He was already planning to make Rachel the scapegoat and use this for grounds of divorcing her. But, her directly confession and raveling a motive. Locked her as the culprit despite being innocent. It was his intention to use this chance and divorce. But it was supposed to be under his terms. Not even his mother can save her from this, it is an Ideal situation.

Just how does it benefit her to be divorced and treated as a laughingstock in the hole capital. But, if he doesn't now, he doesn't know if he'll have any chance in the future.
