Wu Heyi had already sensed that something was wrong, and when he wanted to protect the concubine, Wanqiu didn't want to let her go easily.

After glancing at Fu He, Wan Qiu deliberately said, "I heard that my master math and your cousin have recently been promoted in the town, and he is in charge of dozens of people, and the official is quite big."

At the mention of this, the concubine's face softened a lot.

This made Wanqiu seize the opportunity and continued, "If I were you, I would definitely be even more proud to have such a relative."

The implication is that the reason why the concubine dares to be so arrogant and domineering and does not take the identity of Fuhe's wife in her eyes is precisely because a cousin has been promoted to an official and relies on his power.

The concubine has now become the object of ridicule, in order to save some face, she hurriedly said, "My cousin was promoted by virtue of his own ability and other people's promotion, and it has nothing to do with the concubine, what can the concubine be proud of? Besides, the concubine doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of the prince, the lord and the lady."

This is not a time, doesn't she know what she has done herself? Song Qian thought to himself, coughed lightly twice, and Ji Changye, who was also watching the excitement on the side, happened to look at each other, and the two of them looked over there again without saying a word.

Fu He was very relieved to see that the concubine was taught such a lesson by Wan Qiu, and his initial worries were also put aside, but he still looked at Wu Heyi intentionally or unintentionally, and was still a little dissatisfied when he saw his ugly face.

Wu Heyi looked at Wanqiu's eyes and couldn't wait to kick her out, but because Ji Changye was here, the identity of the concubine could not be put on the stage, and if he publicly maintained it, he would definitely break the rules and lose his face, so he could only think about comforting the concubine after dinner.

"That's right!" Wan Qiu suddenly exclaimed, and then pretended to be Wu Heyi's sake and said, "I heard them say that my aunt's cousin is not much lower than the prefect, and if she makes meritorious service again, she may be on an equal footing with the prefect, which is really enviable." At that time, there were still people who could share the prefect's worries, and they could also make it easier for you."

To put it simply, Wu Heyi's power is not guaranteed. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and his position at that time must be in jeopardy, which will also have an impact on his career in the future.

Not only did the party Wu Heyi frown slightly, but he sensed the sense of crisis, and Fu He was also worried.

She thought that if this little concubine had the intention to instigate his cousin to do something and threaten Wu Heyi, it would be a disaster at that time, so she had to solve it in advance so as not to worry about it in the future.

So at Wanqiu's behest, she called the waiting concubine and instructed: "After dinner, you will bring your aunt back, punish her for being grounded for half a month, and punish her for half a year. She can't leave the courtyard without my command, not even if it's the master."

She is going to frustrate the arrogance of the concubine today.

The maid saw that Fuhe, who was pressed by the concubine on weekdays, finally hardened, and was very happy, and hurriedly responded.

This meal made the concubine sit still, and when she was about to complain in front of Wu Heyi after the meal, she was stopped by the maids under Fuhe.

At this moment, the concubine vented the pent-up anger at the dinner table: "What are you doing here? Why did you stop me? Don't you know who I am? What is your identity to dare to be so bold? It's so unruly."

The maid is not afraid of her, because she is the eldest maid of the main wife, and when she delves into the status level, a concubine like a concubine is only half a level higher than her, and she should be polite to her instead of this appearance.

Thinking about what Fu He told herself, the maid sneered, and didn't care about the concubine's accusatory words, but said bluntly: "Auntie, you openly contradicted the master's mother, and you broke the rules and lost the face of the prefect in front of the prince, so Madame punished you to return to your own courtyard after dinner and be grounded for half a month, fined half a month, and if you don't have Madame's instructions, you can't take half a step out of the courtyard."

"What!" The concubine was very shocked when she heard these words, no matter what she did on weekdays, Fuhe didn't dare to say anything or do anything, because Wu Heyi doted on her, but she didn't want to dare to punish her uncharacteristically today.

The maid's face was calm, and there was no doubt: "Auntie, this is indeed what the lady ordered, not a slave and maid

Come to the wind. If you don't believe me, you can ask Madame, but the slave thinks Madame doesn't want to repeat her words, especially for unruly people. So don't embarrass the slave and maid, it's also for your own good, so you better go back quickly."

When did the concubine suffer such a grievance, so she naturally refused to be obedient, and simply sent out Wanqiu's anger and grievances that mocked her intentionally or unintentionally just now: "What did the concubine do wrong, why should the lady be so embarrassed about the concubine? If the lady is dissatisfied with the concubine, she can say it, tell the lord and let the lord comment on it, if the lord also feels that the concubine is wrong, the concubine has nothing to say. Why do you have to punish the concubine behind the master's back?"

Her voice was so loud that the people who were about to leave would not hear her. As she thought, when the noisy movement passed, the people led by Ji Changye looked back one after another and cast strange eyes.

This achieved the purpose of the concubine, and she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart.

But on the other hand, Fu He and Wu Heyi's faces were not very good, especially Fu He, she originally thought that punishing her concubine would have a deterrent effect on her, so that she would stop doing anything bad and unruly, and she didn't want her to be unrepentant.

And Wu Heyi looked worried, when he saw that the person in front of her turned out to be Fuhe's maid, his face changed slightly, and he felt that Fuhe asked his subordinates to embarrass the concubine, and it was really not measured.

"Lord Wu, what's going on, you better go and see." Ji Changye saw that the person involved was standing motionless, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing, so he reluctantly reminded him.

Song Qian thought that he was going to meddle in other people's family affairs, but he was relieved when he heard his words, after all, this kind of thing can only be solved by themselves, and outsiders will definitely cause trouble if they interfere. It's okay to say if it's handled well, but if something goes wrong, it will definitely end up being inhuman.

"Let the prince smile, the minister will go and see." Wu Heyi was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had let Ji Changye see the ugly thing in the backyard, what could he do in the future, but he had no way to save it, so he could only follow Ji Changye's words to solve the problem first, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

Seeing that Fuhe was still in place, Wanqiu hurriedly walked to her side and whispered a reminder: "Fuhe, you'd better go to the side and listen to what they say, otherwise this little vixen will say bad things about you to the prefect and turn black and white upside down?" You can't give her a chance."

These words brought Fuhe to his senses, and he hurriedly followed.

"Lord Wang, what now?" Song Qian walked up to Ji Changye's side on the eve of another good drama and asked in a low voice.

Now they don't go, they don't go, they don't know where to go.

Ji Changye was also worried about this matter, thinking that he just wanted to come to support Song Qian, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, it was really unlucky. If you say that you are leaving now, it will definitely be inappropriate, but it will be embarrassing to continue to stay and watch them go around their own family affairs.

After thinking for a while, he had to sigh helplessly: "Otherwise, let's go back to the backyard first and go see Mr. Jiao."

When they all came to eat just now, Jiao Zhengqing did not follow them because he was obsessed with studying the painting of Zi Sangchuan, but stayed in the backyard to deal with it after a meal and devoted himself to research.

At the moment, there was no way out, Song Qian could only nod her head in agreement, so she beckoned to Yuanbao standing beside Wanqiu and said, "Yuanbao come here, how about we go to the backyard to find Mr. Jiao?"

Yuan Bao and Wan Qiu watched what happened over there with relish, and after hearing Song Qian's words, he hesitated a little and finally chose to leave with Song Qian, he comforted himself, after all, he was not a person who liked to watch the excitement.

"Mrs. Prefectural, do you want to go to the backyard with us?" Song Qian hesitated and still called Wanqiu, but the other party obviously had something important to do, so he just waved his hand at them, and his eyes kept falling on the four people who were in a stalemate not far away.

Song Qian probably understood what she meant, and she couldn't say anything or stop anything, so she had to leave with Ji Changye and stay away from here.

And the atmosphere here is a little indescribable.

After the concubine saw Wu Heyi coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arm aggrievedly, choked up and said:

"Master, you have to be the master of the concubine, the concubine has never suffered such a big grievance."

When he saw the back of Ji Changye and them leaving, Wu Heyi, who had not planned to do it, also sought justice for his beloved concubine at this time, and looked at the maid with a cold face and blamed, "What is your identity? I'm not dead yet, when will it be your turn to call the shots? She is my aunt, your master, and you are so unruly? Who taught you?" The words also glanced at Fuhe a few times.

The maid hurriedly knelt down according to the rules, but she was unwilling to bow her head, as if to say that she was not wrong.

This kind of accusation and scolding Huai was noticed by Fuhe, and she didn't want her people to be wronged in vain, so she said, "The lord is so generous, he hasn't asked clearly yet, he just talks like this, if the prince is here, how should he feel when he hears this? The lord should also be more restrained, especially for some unworthy people. It was the aunt who was lucky to exist first, and the concubine body let her go back to be grounded, this little punishment is already extraordinarily gracious, I don't know what else the aunt has to be wronged?"

When he said these words, Fuhe plucked up a lot of courage. Because she usually doesn't manage this, and she has never disobeyed Wu Heyi, she dares to say these things today because Wanqiu persuaded and was bullied enough by her concubine.

Wu Heyi was also very surprised by her abnormality today, but he was more angry, so he asked in an angry tone, "What does this mean, madam? What did Aru do wrong to provoke you? I thought you only had those broken calligraphy and paintings in your eyes, and people like Madame probably thought that no one was good, right? What do you think of me? Are you going to punish me too? What qualifications do you have! Anyway, I'll put my words here, whoever dares to let Aru be grounded and punished today, I will kick her out!"

Seeing that Wu Heyi really supported herself, the concubine secretly rejoiced, although she still shrank behind Wu Heyi and cried, the smile on the corner of her lips was difficult to hide. Wanqiu saw all this, and felt that they were too deceitful and Fuhe was too weak, so she wanted to say something forward.

I didn't want her to take a step as soon as she took a step, and the maid kneeling on the ground took the first step to speak: "When the master said these words, was he sincere or was he hot-headed for a while, and his mind was confused by someone with a heart?"
