Master Pang San looked at her strangely, then suddenly laughed exaggeratedly.
Mrs. Pang San had never seen such an expression on her husband's face before. Seeing him like this, Mrs. Pang San was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you mean by this?"
At this point, she couldn't help but get anxious again: "That evil creature caused such a big disaster, and he actually wants us to pay so much money to clean up his mess. I don't care. If you give us this eight thousand taels of silver, then when this evil creature gets married in the future, don't expect us to pay a penny privately! Whatever is paid in public is what we pay!"
The Pang family has fixed rules for marrying and giving birth to children for the legitimate and illegitimate children of each branch. If a branch thinks the amount is too little, they can pay for it privately.
It is obviously unrealistic for a prince to want too much, so basically, no matter whether it is a legitimate or illegitimate child, some additional money must be added privately as appropriate. Madam Pang San said this, obviously she will not give Pang Youde a penny more.
And even so, she still felt painful. After all, why should she need to give so much money to a concubine's son to get married
Master Pang San's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He no longer wanted to pay attention to her. He felt that she was disgusting and violently brushed her hand away.
In front of so many people, with so many maids and servants watching, Master Pang San just walked away like that. Mrs. Pang San was totally caught off guard and her face turned pale and blue.
The servants all lowered their heads. Seeing their master in such an embarrassing situation, how could the master be pleased with you? They didn't want to lose their jobs.
Mrs. Pang San was immediately filled with grievances and quickly chased after him. She had originally planned to go back to her room and have a fight with Master Pang San, but who knew that Master Pang San did not even walk towards the courtyard of the third room, but turned straight to the bluestone path in the northeast corner.
... ... This is the way to the study in the backyard.
The Pang family has two study rooms, one in the inner courtyard and the other in the outer courtyard. No matter the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, that is where Old Master Pang spends most of his time.
Mrs. Pang San finally felt something was wrong.
The old lady of the Pang family had passed away many years ago. The person in charge of the backyard of the family is the current wife of Duke Pingguo, Mrs. Pang Da, the eldest sister-in-law of Mrs. Pang San. Because she no longer has a mother-in-law to look after her, Mrs. Pang San actually has a very easy life in the Pang family. After all, she is only the eldest sister-in-law, not the mother-in-law, and Mrs. Pang Da will not interfere too much in many things.
But that doesn't mean that Mrs. Pang San has no one to fear. At least she is very afraid of her father-in-law, Old Master Pang.
This is Concubine Pang's biological father, and an old minister who survived the previous emperor's repeated purges. Even the He family, the descendants of the previous dynasty, could not do anything to him.
She didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and quickly went forward to grab Master Pang San, and said anxiously: "What are you going to do? If there is anything, let's go back and talk about it..."
If her father-in-law was alarmed... ... her face would turn pale.
Master Pang San didn't listen at all. He shook her off and continued walking forward. Soon he arrived at a small courtyard with three entrances in front of him.
Mrs. Pang San suddenly became even more anxious and grabbed him regardless of the consequences: "What on earth are you going to do? Why did you alarm father for such a small matter?"
The couple kept arguing, and soon the maid guarding the gate was alerted. She came out in a hurry and said, "Third Master, Third Madam, the old master invites you two to come in."
Mrs. Pang's palms were already sweating. She looked at the Third Master nervously, but it was too late for her to say anything because the Third Master had already walked in first.
Being left behind, Madam Pang San stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do. She followed him in, went up the steps and asked the maid holding the curtain, "Besides the old master, who else is here?"
The girl behind the curtain smiled but said nothing, and just reported to the inside.
Mrs. Pang San felt even more uneasy. As soon as she entered the room, she heard Master Pang San saying, "I begged Madam He and Old Madam Su, and they were finally magnanimous and didn't make a fuss anymore..."
The room was very quiet. When the Third Madam came in, it became even quieter and a little eerie. Madam Pang Third suddenly felt she couldn't even walk. She looked at Old Master Pang in horror and called out "Father" in fear.
Old Master Pang glanced at her coldly, then looked away and said to the Third Master, "Go on."
"The Tian family gave three thousand taels of silver. Fang Fei showed up in the shed for no reason. They felt guilty and didn't pursue the matter any further. As for the Wang family, they didn't blame her too much for my aunt's sake, but..."
Mrs. Pang San was completely confused and didn't understand what the father and son meant.
She felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and when she saw Mr. Wei was also present, she was even more shocked - Mr. Wei was also there, which meant that in the eyes of Old Master Pang, this matter was not just a family matter
But then she found it unbelievable again - the problem is, this is a family matter!
Before she could figure it out, Old Master Pang called Mr. Wei's name and asked, "What do you think?"
Mr. Wei frowned, not paying any attention to Madam Pang San's intentions, and said bluntly: "Stupid move! Stupid move! You have ruined the Imperial Concubine's plan. Now if she wants to marry Fourth Miss Su, it's probably impossible, even if she lets the eldest son of the first wife be a legitimate son."
Old Master Pang’s face suddenly darkened.
Master Pang San lowered his head even lower, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground with a muffled thud: "Father, it's all my fault. I can't discipline my wife and children, which has brought such a big trouble to the family..."
He said to kneel down, and Mrs. Pang San, who was standing by the door, looked even more embarrassed and awkward. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to suppress the helplessness in her heart. She moved step by step to the front of Master Pang San, knelt down as well, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Old Master, it's my daughter-in-law's fault..."
Old Master Pang stared at her with a sullen look and sneered, "It's your fault! You acted on your own and pretended to obey but actually disobeyed me. I didn't even know whether it was because I was dead or the Duke of Ping's mansion was extinct that you made the decision. You actually ignored the words of the Imperial Concubine and me! You are such an unvirtuous and vicious woman!"
The room was filled with silence.
Mrs. Pang San was breathing rapidly and her face turned purple. She was stunned by Old Master Pang's words.
These words were so heavy that no matter which word was picked out alone, it was unbearable. Old Master Pang scolded her like this in front of the Second Master Pang, the Third Master Pang and Mr. Wei. How could she live her life in the future
She almost fainted, clenched her hands and felt like she couldn't breathe. She stiffened her neck and asked in a sobbing voice: "What did my daughter-in-law do wrong to make my father so angry? I don't know, please tell me clearly, father."
Master Pang San sneered when he heard this.
