The first lady was satisfied, but the second lady felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue when she heard the news.
She had heard from Wang Shanjia a long time ago that the eldest lady did not want to go to Shuntian Prefecture but wanted her to go.
But even though she had heard about it, she never expected her husband would actually come and talk to her about it.
Wang Shanjia winked at her in a hurry. She felt relieved but also horrified - that person had really come up with the truth again.
It turned out that the Eldest Master and the Eldest Mistress really had this plan, intending to push the Second Mistress out to take the blame.
First is Changgui.
But Changgui was unreliable and bit them back, so now the Peng family is in a completely passive situation.
Faced with this dilemma, Mr. Peng came up with a solution.
That's a solution.
If the second wife pleads guilty herself, what will the first wife have to do with it
But... Wang Shanjia quickly glanced at the Second Madam, and seeing that her face quickly turned cold, he quickly led everyone out.
Only a fool would agree to this.
Wang Shanjia looked at the high eaves and the courtyards and suddenly felt a little cold. The second master could actually say this.
After all, they have been husband and wife for so many years, but they have no affection for each other at all.
The Second Master stared at the Second Madam with eyes wide open and great annoyance.
From the moment he walked in and said this, the Second Lady was like a mad dog. Her usual dignity and grace were completely gone. She rushed up to him, pounced on him, pulled him, and bit him. He was almost knocked down by her.
He controlled his temper and gently tried to reason with the Second Madam: "Sister-in-law really can't go. If she goes, our family's reputation will be ruined."
Ha, that’s so funny!
The Second Madam thought so and laughed out loud, "Peng Huai, are you confused?! If she goes to the Peng family, her reputation will be ruined. If I go, will the Peng family's reputation be ruined?! Am I not your wife, not a member of the Peng family?!"
When will the eldest wife change her habit of always saying that they represent the Peng family? !
It's really disgusting to look at.
All the good things fall on them, while the bad things have to be borne by the other families.
But the second master, this fool, actually listens to them.
The Second Lady was both aggrieved and shocked. She grabbed the Second Master's sleeve and asked him tearfully, "Peng Huai! Have you been an official for so long that your brain is no longer working properly?! Open your eyes and see who is getting the benefit now?! Haven't you done enough for this family? Do you really have to torment yourself and cause your wife and children to be separated?!"
Master Peng had already told him these words before he came.
How could the couple and children be separated
As long as the Peng family does not disband, as long as the Peng family can survive this crisis, will Si Niang still have the same status in the Yi family? No.
By then, the second wife can come back.
Or you can just bear with it and wait until you finish your jail term before being sent to prison.
He can still marry again then.
He retracted these thoughts, impatiently pushed the second wife away, and tried to harden his heart: "Youqing, be obedient... We are really desperate now, just help me..."
He would never marry again. When the time comes, he would find a way to bring the second wife back.
But this time, the problem can only be solved if the Second Madam steps in.
The second wife sat on the chair, and all the other questions she hadn't asked were instantly blocked back into her stomach.
I should have gotten used to it a long time ago, what else can I say
There is nothing more to say. If she says so, will he listen
He will only listen to his good big brother.
For the sake of this family, he might even give up his own life, let alone his children and wife
She let out a sarcastic laugh and didn't stop smiling even after watching the second master leave.
Wang Shanjia came in cautiously from outside and looked at her, then knelt down in front of her with a plop: "Second Madam, you have to think it over carefully! You can't go to Shuntian Mansion. If you go, you will..."
But it's over!
The Second Madam seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and she moved her eyelids and looked at her.
If you don’t go, you will hang yourself in this house.
She made up her mind.
But Wang Shanjia seemed to know what she was thinking, and rushed over to hug her legs: "Madam, you must take care of yourself. If you are gone, what will happen to the fourth aunt and the others? And the sixth girl, they are still young..."
But what can she do? !
She leaned over the table, her nails digging into her flesh, leaving her palms bloody and bruised, but she didn't feel the pain.
Wang Shanjia looked at her expression and advised carefully: "Madam, why don't we go back?"
go back
Going back to your parents’ home
The second lady's eyes lit up.
Yes, she still has her mother’s family.
But it was only a moment, she gave up the idea and shook her head again and again: "How can I have the face to go back?"
She had given all her dowry to the second master and asked for a lot of silver from her family. But now, she has dragged the family into this state. Her sisters-in-law must hate her to death.
How can she go back to her parents' home
Wang Shanjia sighed: "After all, they are siblings. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected! Madam, I don't know whether I should say something or not..."
What is there to hide now
The Second Madam asked Wang Shanjia to continue.
"Madam, this family is no longer a family..." Wang Shanjia knelt on the ground and looked at the second wife sincerely: "Look, let one person take the blame for another, how can this be possible? And the fourth aunt..."
Yes, even a servant could see it clearly, but the second master and the others couldn’t understand it.
Wang Shanjia added, "You took the blame this time, but what about next time? If Miss Wei gets into trouble next time, will Miss Six take the blame for her?! And if Young Master Six does something weird again, will Young Master Eight die for him? That doesn't make sense!"
That doesn't make sense anywhere!
The second wife's rage finally burst out, and she raised her hand to overturn the dishes and cups on the table.
She has suffered enough injustice for so many years, and she will never let her children be inferior to the first wife. She will sacrifice and tolerate for the first wife in every way.
Would her child no longer have the surname Peng? Would her child be of lower status than the eldest lady's
She closed her eyes and clenched her hands tightly. After a while, she let out a sigh and opened her eyes.
"You're right." The second wife finally calmed down her anger, adjusted her emotions and said calmly: "I was too stupid in the past. I was stupid enough to think that I was really a member of the Peng family."
