As soon as the sky turned white, Ye Lingwu got up and went to the main house to wait.

Magpie and Tanchun helped Mrs. Shen out of the back room, Ye Lingwu hurriedly served hot soup, and looked at her expression and thought that she didn't know what happened last night.

At this moment, there was a sound of the warm curtain behind him, Ye Lingwu looked back, and saw Mama Xuan walking in quickly, and said solemnly: "You all go down first, just wait for me here." ”

Ye Lingwu, magpies, and spring should be down, and they withdrew from the main house one after another.

"What's going on? Xiyue Zhai or Qingzhu Pavilion? Old Lady Shen put down the hot soup in her hand, the master and servant had already had a tacit understanding for many years, even if Mama Xuan hadn't opened her mouth yet, she had already guessed a thing or two from her face.

Mama Xuan sighed and said, "Something happened to Xiyuezhai, the three girls had a night meeting with Pei Jiaerlang last night, and the housemother knew about it, so she wrote a letter back to Beijing this morning." ”

Old Lady Shen frowned and said suspiciously: "Pei Jiaerlang? Which Pei family? ”

Mama Xuan said: "There is a famous winery merchant in the capital, Pei Nansheng Pei's family. ”

Old Lady Shen was stunned, and said in a disdainful tone: "I've heard this name." He is a well-known three wives and four concubines in the capital, and his family accounts for half of the affairs in the capital. ”

Mama Xuan was disgusted and said, "Yes, old lady." It was because the housewife had a big temper last night, and almost used the family law, if this matter is known to the lady in the second room, I'm afraid it will be terrible. ”

Old Lady Shen snorted coldly and said, "I know that the jade cui that girl wears these days is weird, how could she look at those mundane things with her eyes before, it turned out to be the handwriting of Pei Jiaerlang." By the way, I remember that Pei Nansheng has a lot of children in the house? ”

Mama Xuan said: "There are a lot, there are eleven of them, and when I met the third girl last night, it was the youngest son of the Pei family, and it was also the son-in-law of Pei Nansheng." ”

Old Mrs. Shen took a few shots and sneered: "Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Three years ago, the scandal of the Pei family was rumored, and this scandal was that Pei Nansheng raised the outer room as his wife, if he just carried the outer room into the door, it would not have spread all over the city, but the problem is that Pei Nansheng's original partner was killed by this outer room.

And the outer room is cheeky to sit in the position of the main wife, and the illegitimate child has naturally become a concubine, which is simply ironic.

Mama Xuan said: "The old lady is angry, the third girl has been kneeling in Xiyue Zhai for a night, why don't we go over and have a look?" ”

Old Lady Shen threw the Buddha beads in her hand on the desk and got up and walked outside the house.

Tanchun, who was guarding outside the door, heard the footsteps approaching, and immediately opened the warm curtain, Ye Lingwu also looked for a sound, and saw Mrs. Shen and Mama Xuan walking out together with a solemn expression, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.

"Old lady, Mama Xuan, are you going out of the yard?" Ye Lingwu pretended to be relaxed and asked.

Old Mrs. Shen ignored it and continued to walk forward, but Mama Xuan said: "The old lady is going to Xiyue Zhai, I boiled the old lady's tranquilizer in the kitchen, and you will put it in the warm cabinet when you arrive." ”

Ye Lingwu obediently responded, and his eyes followed the backs of the two of them and disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard before retracting.

Xiyue Zhai.

Qin Mingyu's face was very ugly, and he coldly swept the several female envoys beside Shen Pan'er, and when he saw Yingxia, who was still kneeling with injuries, his eyes instantly sharpened.

Only Shen Pan'er was sobbing slightly in the room, and while she was taking the pear blossom with the rain that she was crying about, she peeked at Qin Mingyu, and saw that she was still angry, and she didn't dare to stop crying.

Qin Mingyu had been listening to Shen Pan'er's pretended low cry since she came out of the back room, and she didn't know how long it had been, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Okay, don't cry!" ”

Shen Pan'er sobbed a little, stopped sobbing, and then she looked up at Qin Mingyu in panic, and saw that her face was as cold as freezing, and she didn't smile at all, and said uneasily: "Auntie, Pan'er has been kneeling all night, and her knee is about to hurt, so you can spare Pan'er." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Pan'er was suddenly glared at by Qin Mingyu's majestic and fierce gaze, and immediately lowered her head, biting her lip for a while before she said again: "Auntie, you are the most painful in your life, Pan'er's knee is really painful, you can spare Pan'er." ”

"Spare you?" Qin Mingyu said angrily, "Do I spare you less mistakes on weekdays?" Shen Pan'er, as the concubine of the Ningbei Hou Mansion, where did you learn the etiquette, righteousness and shame? ”

Shen Paner's shoulders shrunk after being yelled, and she sobbed again. And the few maidens beside her were even more afraid to lie on the ground, and the whole person trembled like catkins in the wind.

They knew that things were going to anger the main family, and it was a matter of time before they were punished, even if the main mother didn't punish them now, they couldn't escape the punishment of the Zhao family after returning to Beijing.

Not long after, Old Lady Shen and Mama Xuan arrived, and the room was a few degrees colder for a moment, and everyone kneeling in the hall shrank their necks in unison.

Qin Mingyu got up and gave up the main seat to Mrs. Shen, and blessed her body. The people below saw that Old Lady Shen had not said a word since she came in, and they were even more frightened in their hearts.

"You can cry, but you don't know if these tears are real or not." Old Lady Shen spoke coldly.

Shen Pan'er didn't dare to breathe, and cautiously retorted in a low voice: "Grandmother, Pan'er knelt in the eldest aunt's house for a night, and her knees seemed to be pierced by needles, so how could she still have the heart to fake crying." ”

"I thought that even if you were pretending to cry, you would have to talk about your mistake, but I just stood outside for a while, and I never heard you say that, do you think you are wrong?" Old Mrs. Shen said.

Shen Pan'er gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Qin Mingyu seemed to react, and the crackling sound of the case almost shook the roof, and pointed to the girl who was kneeling down and said, "Confused! Shen Paner, do you think that your aunt has wronged you? ! ”

"No, no, Pan'er doesn't dare."

"Don't you dare, have you ever said a word of error from last night until now? Shen Paner, you dare to provoke the Pei family's nest of right and wrong, aren't you afraid that gossip will ruin yourself? Qin Mingyu was furious.

It was the first time for Shen Pan'er to see Qin Mingyu so good, I don't know how, I went to look at Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen's face was expressionless but vaguely a little angry, and her heart suddenly sank a lot.

She racked her brains and couldn't come up with a quibble, so she held back her backbone for a long time, and replied: "Grandmother, eldest aunt, Pan'er is happy with the Pei family, and I also invite grandmother and aunt to fulfill Pan'er." ”

"Bastard, do you know what you're talking about?" Qin Mingyu wanted to give Shen Pan'er a slap, but he endured it, and his fingernails were deeply embedded in his palm.

Old Mrs. Shen couldn't hold back her face and said, "I think you are getting more and more confused, and you don't speak brainlessly, where have you read all the poems and books that your mother taught you since you were a child." ”
