Mrs. Peng was stunned by the scolding from Master Peng. When she came to her senses, she realized that the servants in the room had not left yet.
Nanny Peng and others lowered their heads consciously, wishing they could be invisible.
If they saw their masters losing their composure one after another in one day, they would be in trouble.
I really don’t know what happened. Bad things happened one after another in my family. Ever since I decided to get engaged to Princess Shouning, first it was the Sixth Young Master’s issue, and now even the First and Second Ladies are fighting…
Mrs. Peng had never felt so ashamed.
Her sister-in-law came to embarrass her and question her, and now her husband barged in without knowing the truth and scolded her in front of the servants. This made her feel extremely unacceptable.
She glanced at the people below, and they all retreated.
She sorted out her thoughts and shook her head pretending to be calm: "It's nothing serious..." She said carefully: "Something happened to Fourth Mother at her husband's house, Xiaoyue. Second brother's wife asked me to go and support Fourth Mother..."
She sighed a little aggrieved: "We are in such a situation now, how can we make a fuss about this matter? The Yi family is not easy to offend..."
The Yi family is certainly not someone to be easily offended.
They still rely on the Yi family for many things.
Master Peng's expression eased a little, and he frowned: "When it comes to children's affairs, they should know their limits. Could the Yi family harm their own grandson? My second brother and his wife are really ignorant."
Mrs. Peng sneered in her heart.
After being married for so many years, how could she not know Master Peng's personality? When it comes to matters concerning the interests of the Peng family, what kind of affection or indifference can she still care about? What about support or not? Whether the child is wronged or not is simply a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
That was why she dared to be so rude to Madam Peng and ridicule her mercilessly.
She sighed, "But my second sister-in-law wouldn't listen. She loves her daughter so much. She thought I was deliberately unwilling to help Si Niang, but how can I help? If I really listened to my second sister-in-law and ran to the Yi family to make a scene? What would happen to our Peng family? We already have so many troubles now, how dare we cause more trouble? But my second sister-in-law just wouldn't listen. Not only did she not listen, she even cursed Caichen and Awei, and even mentioned something about dividing the family..."
Split up the family?!
How can the Peng family split up? !
Master Peng's eyes widened and he shouted, "Nonsense!"
It's just a woman's opinion!
Master Peng sneered, "The second son is not dead yet! When will it be her turn to make the decisions for the second house and the Peng family?! If she dares to mention this again, I will divorce her!"
Unvirtuous woman!
Mrs. Peng nodded.
She no longer has the heart to care about these little things.
She just looked at the master and asked eagerly, "Master, do you know that the letter I wrote to A-Ru was replaced by someone?"
Master Peng didn't react for a moment.
Mrs. Peng repeated it again, and emphasized: "In the letter I wrote to Aru, I told her to come to the capital, and I would think of a way to prepare for her wedding with Caichen after a while. But the letter Aru received said that the engagement was cancelled, and also said a lot of unpleasant things... This is clearly forcing Aru to die! There is something fishy about this matter..."
Master Peng seemed to be thinking about something.
All of this happened so suddenly and chaotically, and he was so busy dealing with it that he really didn't think about it. Now that he thinks about it, all of this...
Madam Peng raised her eyelids coldly: "It was the Wei family! It was the Wei family who did it!"
Mr. Peng did not deny it.
After all, they were using the leverage to force the Wei family to bow their heads.
And looking back, it seems that the Wei family is the most likely to have done it.
But the question is, who is at the helm of the Wei family
He actually went straight past Wei Yangqing.
Could it really be Princess Shouning? !
If this is true, then Princess Shouning is really terrifying.
She was able to set up such a scheme without making any noise, and she was able to imitate the handwriting of everyone in the Peng family, setting up the scheme in a chain that connected everything to the present. Could it be that Princess Shouning was a monster
He didn't have time to respond.
The housekeeper then passed the message through Nanny Peng through the curtain, saying that someone from Shuntian Prefecture had arrived.
Someone from Shuntian Prefecture is coming again
Mr. Peng glanced at Mrs. Peng and stood up in surprise.
The second master Peng went to Shuntian Prefecture in person, and Changgui had also explained everything. What was going on? Why didn't the second master bring Peng Caichen back, but someone else came from Shuntian Prefecture
Master Peng stood up and walked out.
Mrs. Peng also stood up with a somewhat numb expression.
She had already realized that something bad was going to happen - the Wei family must have done something again!
Wang, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, had been waiting in the flower hall in front for a long time. When he saw Master Peng, he stood up immediately, looked at him with a smile on his face and saluted.
Master Peng nodded as a gesture of return, and asked calmly, "I wonder what brought Lord Wang back? What's the matter?"
Wang Tuiguan smiled and said he dared not. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are some unclear points about the death of Mrs. Tao. Madam needs to go to Shuntian Prefecture to ask."
Ask a question.
I asked Peng Caichen before, but he couldn't get the answer after this question.
Master Peng thought that Shuntian Mansion might be the helper of Wei Family now. He looked at him uncertainly for a while, and then looked away after a while: "As a woman, you never go out of the house. What could be the matter that requires Shuntian Mansion to send someone in person? I don't know."
Wang Tuiguan seemed to be in a dilemma. After weighing it for a long time, he sighed truthfully: "Sir Peng, Changgui, who served the Sixth Young Master in your house, has confessed. He took the Sixth Young Master's handwritten letter and went to find the first lady. Later, he served a cup of tea to Tao, and Tao died..."
Master Peng was a little annoyed by the fact that these old things were brought up over and over again. It took him a long time to control his emotions and signaled Wang Tuiguan to continue.
Wang Tuiguan said, "We have already found out the contents of the letter. What Changgui said is basically the same as what Master Ling said. Master Ling has already admitted that it was his Madam Qiu Peng who silenced him and killed Da Tao for him... Madam Qiu Peng is now suspected of ordering the servants to kill. Forgive me for being rude, but I have to take her away."
Master Peng just felt his headache getting worse.
It is understandable that Changgui would go back on his word, but why would Peng Caichen actually admit this completely untrue story?!
Now he understood that the big Tao family and the small Tao family were all a trap set up by the Wei family to deliberately frame the Peng family! Not to mention such a ridiculous excuse as killing to silence them.
It was obvious that Tao committed suicide by taking poison, and they wanted to frame the Peng family.
And those letters...those letters whose handwriting is exactly the same as that of Madam Peng and Peng Caichen, are the real key.
It’s the Wei family, it’s Princess Shouning.
Master Peng immediately called the second master who had just returned and whispered in his ear: "Find the Fan family."
It's time to stop this farce.
