There was something on their mind. Until they left the palace, neither aunt nor nephew said a word about the farce in Changle Hall. When they arrived at the car, Wei Zhengyin held his niece's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll go to Taifu's Mansion with you." Then he turned around and asked one of the boys following the car to go back to the Su Mansion to report to Mrs. Deng.
Wei Changying vaguely guessed that Wei Zhengyin's real purpose of visiting Mrs. Su was related to Shen Zangfeng's thoughts, and he felt awe-inspiring.
There was no conversation all the way. When they arrived at Taifu's Mansion, Wei Changying led his aunt straight to the upper room, entered the courtyard, and then on the porch, he heard Mrs. Liu in the room saying lukewarmly: "... If you don't really like it, , Mother will not hire you as a prostitute, fourth brother and sister, do you think this is the case? "
Pei Meiniang did not answer, but the voice of another older woman said with an embarrassed and cautious apology: "The young lady is right, they are all from a small family in our family who don't know etiquette and have not taught this child Well, she actually had such a misunderstanding, this is really..."
Thinking about it, this must be Pei Meiniang's elder. He is a sensible person. He is trying every means to be low-key so that his in-laws can calm down. Who else has a bride who has only been married for less than a month and made her elders sick? How can she have a good reputation? ? Regardless of whether Pei Meiniang can stay in her husband's family in the future, or whether the Shen family will suppress the Pei family in the future, let's just say that Pei Meiniang is not the only girl in the Pei family, she also has younger sisters and nieces. I will leave the cabinet in the future! What should I do if I call a lady of the same clan such an unvirtuous master
It's a pity that Pei Meiniang is sober as an elder. Instead of stepping down to apologize, she said in a cold voice: "When it comes to the matter of my eldest aunt hiring me to live in the house, the three cousins-in-law are all good friends." As for my family background, the husband I married was not from my eldest aunt, but he married a daughter of a noble family like mine. How do I know what my eldest aunt is thinking? "
As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Liu in the room turned blue with anger and was speechless for a while, but also Wei Zhengyin outside looked stunned and asked her niece in a low voice: "This... these are your four Younger sister Pei? "Originally, Wei Zhengyin thought that Pei Meiniang was not virtuous, that is, she was a bit petty and was really a gong in person, but she was still afraid of her.
But I didn't expect that this woman was so open-minded that she would shout it out in public. Was she on her way home from being divorced? Wei Zhengyin simply couldn't imagine that there were such people among the gentry...
Wei Changying smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's her."
"...I finally know why your mother-in-law is sick." If Wei Zhengyin has such a daughter-in-law, she will inevitably get sick. Wei Zhengyin sighed and said, "I won't go into this scene now. To avoid further embarrassment... Send someone to take me directly to your mother-in-law's house at the back. Go in and accompany your two sisters-in-law to help them, otherwise your mother-in-law will think that you are unwilling to help her! Daughter-in-law, let your two sisters-in-law take the lead in everything - I see this Pei is unusually arrogant and arrogant, it is a shame to face such a person!"
"Isn't it?" Wei Changying sighed and asked Qin Ge to call Manlou to lead Wei Zheng Yin to take a detour to see Mrs. Su. He straightened his skirt and stepped in the door...
However, I saw that the seat where Mrs. Su usually sat at the top was empty. The first seat on the left hand below was Mrs. Liu. Opposite her was an elderly lady in a gorgeous dress. She had a gorgeous skirt and hairpin, and her profile was somewhat similar to that of Pei Meiniang. Maybe she was. She is Pei Meiniang's mother. Below there were several ladies in gorgeous clothes, probably all members of the Pei family, all of whom looked embarrassed and ashamed.
Pei Meiniang, the one at the bottom on the right, held her head high and looked around fearlessly, not feeling guilty or guilty at all and not feeling that she had made any mistakes. Her posture was as if she was the one who had suffered a great injustice and was now waiting for the Liu family and Duanmu, who was subordinate to the Liu family, to apologize to her.
Seeing Wei Changying come in, Ms. Liu, who was speechless with anger, finally found something to say, and sneered: "Third brother and sister, you came just in time! I have never heard such ridiculous words in my life. Did you know that the fourth brother and sister just What did you say?"
"So what if I say what I just said again?" Unexpectedly, before Wei Changying could answer, Pei Meiniang took the lead and said with a curled lip, "When I was hired, I thought that my husband was Xiangning. How could the eldest son of my uncle hire me, a daughter of a noble family, as his first wife? As expected, on the day we married, you and your second sister-in-law kept making fun of me - they said they were joking, but they meant they were contemptuous of my background. , do you really think I can’t hear it?”
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she almost didn't hit her head with the tea bowl in her hand: "On the day you enter the house... isn't it a custom passed down from ancient times to make a fuss in the bridal chamber on this day?! To put it bluntly, it's you, it's the emperor's wedding, the prince's wedding, We were not the only ones who were in the wedding room that day to have a few laughs. Let me tell you, there were a lot of maids and women in the wedding room that day. You could have called them all over to talk. Understand, are we just teasing you to make the room livelier, or are we despising your origin?"
Then he said in a trembling voice, "You are the wife of your fourth brother who was personally hired by your mother. No matter what your background is, when you enter the Shen family, you are our sister-in-law. We all have the same status, that is, the wife of the Shen family! Whoever you despise is not the wife of the Shen family." Disrespectful to my mother? Go out and find out if our two sisters-in-law have done anything disrespectful to our elders, unfriendly to our peers, and unkind to our younger generation in the past few years!”
These words made all the female members of the Pei family who came today feel ashamed and angry. The lady opposite Mrs. Liu didn't even care about etiquette. She stood up quickly, ran to Pei Meiniang, slapped her across the face, and shouted in a trembling voice: " You were fine at home, why are you so crazy when you leave the pavilion?"
In order to calm down the Shen family, the slap was so severe that Pei Meiniang's head tilted slightly to one side, and five distinct fingerprints appeared on her white and pink cheeks. They were so horrifying that she seemed to be stunned. For a moment Speechless.
The wife who beat her took advantage of the situation and cried and apologized to Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying: "It's all my fault in raising my daughter, which has brought trouble to your family. Now I don't dare to let her serve in your family. Let's take her back now!" Come back later to apologize!" I originally hoped that being a low-key today would resolve the matter, but I didn't expect my daughter to be so stubborn and offend her husband's family to death!
Originally, Pei Meiniang's family status was not as good as her husband's. Is Pei Meiniang still doing this because she was afraid that she would not be divorced and go home? If she hadn't been in the Shen family at this moment, Pei Meiniang's elders would have wanted to arrest Pei Meiniang immediately and interrogate her. What on earth had deceived her and why was she so confused
The three sisters-in-law of the Liu family got a hint from Mrs. Su yesterday and wanted to divorce Pei Meiniang. But now Pei Meiniang explicitly accused the two of them of bullying her, which made Pei Meiniang feel resentful. However, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu had to explain clearly before letting her go. At that moment, Mrs. Duanmu said, "Mrs. Min, please don't be anxious. The matter has not been made clear yet—my sister-in-law and I cannot bear the crime of bullying my new sister-in-law because of my family background!"
Then he said to Wei Zhangying, "Mrs. Min, you see, this is our third younger brother and sister. Just now, your love mentioned me and my sister-in-law, but not the third younger brother and sister. I think she thought that the third younger brother and sister didn't bully her. So now please To be fair, the third brother and sister, did we despise Miss Pei on the wedding day?"
Seeing that Duanmu didn't even call her four younger siblings, but called her "Miss Pei", how obvious was this breakup? Although Pei Meiniang's mother, Mrs. Min, said she would take her daughter home, she still left a chance to survive. She hoped that when she returned, she would either persuade or beat her, so that her daughter would know that she had given in, and then come to apologize to Mrs. Su, Mrs. Liu and others. Maybe there is still a chance to continue being the wife of the Shen family.
But Duanmu was not fooled at all. Instead, she refused to admit that Pei Meiniang was her sister-in-law because she wanted to take her daughter back! Min felt dizzy in her head and almost fainted on the spot. There was a buzzing in her ears. She didn't say anything for a long time and just stared at Wei Changying in a daze.
Before Wei Changying came in, Wei Zhengyin told him to leave everything to the Liu family and Duanmu family, and not to rush to the front - she herself did not want to provoke a difficult person like Pei Meiniang, and it was not enough to make things difficult for Ji Qubing and Gu Naizheng. Is she worried
Unfortunately, he didn't want to come in, but Duanmu was pushing him out to speak fair words. He had to say: "I didn't hear the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law say anything that shouldn't be said that day."
"Did you hear Mrs. Min?" Duanmu looked at the Pei family with a sneer and said, "If you don't believe us, the three younger siblings..."
"What did the Second Young Madam say?" Mrs. Min was so angry and resentful that she could not speak. Her sister-in-law had to get up to answer and smiled bitterly to accuse her. Unexpectedly, Pei Meiniang suddenly also sneered and said: "The third sister-in-law is again If I didn’t hear what your sister said, how could I know what was in your words that day?”
Then he turned to look at Wei Changying and hummed, "Besides, the third sister-in-law only came into the family two months earlier than me. She is still a newcomer in this family? How dare you disobey your eldest and second sister-in-law?" ?”
Everyone was stunned by these words. They didn't care to scold her for talking nonsense and openly provoking. Duanmu said in shock and anger: "My sister?"
"Your cousin Duanmu Wuse, Lord Sikong Song's second daughter-in-law, is still the second cousin-in-law of the third sister-in-law!" Pei Meiniang stood up with her face covered, looked at Duanmu with disdain and unkindness, and said coldly, " She told me personally that the reason why Mrs. Taifu hired me to be my husband's wife was because I was born inferior to you and would be easy to bully after I got married. She also suppressed my husband by the way, so as not to threaten the third brother's status in the clan! She is your sister-in-law, how can she be so kind as your sister? Moreover, you two are so powerful that you bully us two new sisters-in-law. The third sister-in-law is afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you! People don’t know, unless you do it! You pretend to be joking, but you actually have evil intentions! But you don’t know that I have heard the truth from Duanmu Wuse... Do you think I will be deceived by you? "
Now it's Duanmu's turn to almost faint! (To be continued)
