Although this daughter-in-law is not very smart, she is knowledgeable and has never made any mistakes over the years. She also has a good relationship with the Fourth Master and has given birth to several children. She has never done anything excessive. Apart from having no opinions of her own and always comparing things with her parents' family, there is really nothing wrong with her.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang has always been kind to the Fourth Wife.
But today, she really couldn't stand it anymore.
It was as if a fire was burning in her heart. Old Madam Wang started to scold Madam Wang the Fourth: "You are so stupid that you can do such a thing. What good idea does she have? If she is really a person and really treats you as a sister, why would she let you do such a thing that will send you to hell after your death?!"
Mrs. Pang San is really not a very good person.
Speaking of it, there are good and bad legitimate mothers. There are some who are generous and raise their illegitimate sons as their own sons - like Princess Mingchang's daughter-in-law, who was famous for her virtuousness and generosity. She was very attentive to her illegitimate sons, and all of them became successful.
Therefore, Princess Mingchang was very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law.
And there are also many bad ones.
After all, most people are selfish, so this is understandable.
But people like Madam Pang San are really disgusting. When Mrs. Wang heard that it was Madam Pang San's illegitimate son, she immediately sent people to clean up the house, because Madam Pang San's illegitimate son was really famous.
Notoriously hated by ghosts.
All this is thanks to Madam Pang San.
The third branch of the Pang family had two illegitimate sons. One was extremely cruel and had beaten a maid to death, and had caused trouble. The other was also very arrogant and was a gambler.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is the result of the stepmother’s flattery.
Mrs. Pang San always acted like she cared deeply about her children, and no matter how big a mess these two made, she would deliberately cover it up.
Although Madam Pang San had evil intentions, other people's family affairs were their own family affairs, and Old Mrs. Wang was not idle, so she would not interfere. But now it was different, as Madam Pang San's hands had reached into her own home.
She saw Fourth Madam Wang crying on the ground, the veins on her temples throbbing, "You are so stupid! What good will it do for you if you accomplish this for her? You have seen it too, are you dead or alive now?!"
Mrs. Wang was crying so hard that she couldn't get up. She was so scared that she crawled on her knees and wanted to hug the old lady's legs: "It's my fault, mother. My sister said that there was a vacancy for the post of academician in Zhejiang..."
Zhejiang Xue Zheng, this is indeed an enviable official position.
With this bait, it's no wonder that the Fourth Madam took the bait. The Fourth Madam was always very concerned about her reputation. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she felt that she was inferior to her elder sister who married into the Pang family. She always wanted her husband to be successful.
Old Mrs. Wang felt a splitting headache.
Mrs. He clenched her fists, feeling extremely humiliated.
What did Madam Pang San think of her Yaoyao? Even if she thought of her as a scourge, she would not do it this way. She did not dare to offend the Pang family and the imperial concubine, so she took a roundabout way to frame someone.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She looked at Mrs. Wang coldly and said, "Go tell this to the imperial concubine! I must give you an explanation today!"
Su Yao's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtfully at Mrs. Wang Si, who was no longer able to speak, without saying anything.
Old Mrs. Wang opened her closed eyes again and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. Someone from the eldest wife came in to report that the seventh son of the Pang family had been caught.
She hummed, and was about to speak when she heard the housekeeper say, "Old lady, the man was caught by Deputy Officer Song."
What?!
Old Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief again.
How could she be seen by that devil?! She secretly groaned in her heart.
Su Yao raised his eyebrows.
Mrs. Wang had even crushed her palms to pieces.
"And..." The housekeeper's wife lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes: "Old lady, the identity of the girl who was beaten has also been found out - it turns out that she was Miss Tian's personal maid. She said that when she was going to look for Miss Tian, she took a wrong path and went into the shed. Who knew that she would encounter this unexpected disaster."
Old Mrs. Wang was unable to breathe and almost fainted.
Whatever you fear will come true. The person who was injured was actually someone from Duke Cheng’en’s mansion!
She grabbed her clothes and looked at the stunned Fourth Madam: "You have done a good thing! You decide what to do. I can't take care of this matter anymore!"
Mrs. Wang Si was completely unable to cope with it. When she heard Mrs. Wang say such words, she burst into tears: "Mom! Mom, I was wrong! Please don't ignore me..."
Old Madam Wang turned away from her angrily and turned to look at Madam He and Su Yao: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's because I, an old woman, didn't discipline my children well and didn't manage my family well... Such a thing happened in my family, and my niece suffered..."
She pursed her lips, stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. He's hand like a hero, "My dear relatives! I'm not shirking my responsibility, but this matter cannot be spread out. Otherwise, our family's reputation will be ruined, and my niece will also be criticized by others. How can a pearl withstand the impact of rubble? I know you are angry. If it were me, I would probably die of anger. But now the most urgent thing is to suppress this matter first. This useless thing in our family has become a gun in someone else's hand. It's our family's fault. We admit it!"
She burned her boats and narrowed her eyes before saying, "I have a man named Lu Bingsheng here. I wonder if your relatives know him?"
Mrs. He's anger was immediately suppressed by these three words. She immediately held Mrs. Wang's hand and looked at her with sharp eyes.
Su Yao also narrowed his eyes.
Because she was too familiar with the name Lu Bingsheng.
Lu Bingsheng, the top military scholar in the 11th year of Yongxi, served successively as the Fujian guerrilla general, the assistant commander of Dengzhou Guard, and the commander of Dengzhou Guard.
This man was serving as the assistant commander of Dengzhou Guard when the Crown Prince and Mr. He were assassinated by Japanese pirates.
Mrs. He naturally knew this, and she asked in an obscure voice, "Are you using this to negotiate terms with me?"
"I dare not." Mrs. Wang was exhausted physically and mentally. She said sincerely, "I know that our family has done something wrong in this matter. I only ask that you please do not blame my daughter for my willingness to risk her life. She did not know about this matter. And my stupid daughter-in-law, although she is unforgivable, she was deceived for giving birth to children for our Wang family... Please allow her to make meritorious contributions..."
Mrs. Wang Si immediately saw hope and said with tears in her eyes, "I will! I will! Madam, Yaoyao, please, I can do anything you want me to do, just let me go..."
