She has sacrificed a lot for the Peng family.
But in the end, the Peng family still felt it was not enough and wanted to squeeze her and even her children dry.
That Peng Huai had already died.
In other words, Peng Huai is still the same Peng Huai, and has always been the same Peng Huai.
She had been tolerant for him for so many years, but still could not make any progress in his heart, and could not compare with his family plans.
The second wife closed her eyes and felt pain all over her body from her eyes to her brain.
There was a lot of noise outside, and Lu Wu sneaked in from the corner, glanced at the Second Madam, lowered her head and said to her: "Second Madam, the First Madam asked Madam Peng to come over and invite you in..."
Nanny Peng brought a lot of people over, all of whom were from the first lady's courtyard, and took charge of all the servants serving in the second lady's courtyard.
This is clearly coercion. This is not the attitude of asking people to do things.
What's more, it's such a thing.
Wang Shanjia couldn't help but sigh for the First Lady and the First Master. It was clear that they were pushing the Second Lady into a desperate situation. She didn't even need to instigate anything. The First Lady's own actions were enough to make people hate her.
She sat down on the ground and looked at the Second Madam, crying in panic: "Madam, what should we do, Madam?!"
The Second Lady's eyes were empty. She didn't even look at Wang Shan's wife, nor at anyone else in the room. She just asked someone to ask where the Second Master was.
She wanted to see if her husband was really so heartless.
Women are like this, even if it has really come to the last step, they still hold on to a little pitiful hope that the man will come back.
But men are usually much more decisive.
Madam Peng looked at the Second Madam with some pity and raised the corner of her mouth: "The Second Master has already gone out. Before he left, he had already told the Second Madam to listen to the First Madam in everything."
I listen to the lady in everything.
It even includes listening to the eldest lady and dying for her, dying for her and her son.
But did she owe the Peng family? !
The Peng family wants to treat her like this!
She flicked the non-existent dust off her skirt, said "good" to Aunt Peng indifferently, then turned to look at Wang Shanjia who was still sitting on the ground, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Why are you crying? It's not time to cry yet, get up!"
Wang Shanjia stood up, wiping her tears. When she met the second lady's eyes, she was stunned.
Mrs. Peng winked at her and looked into the box on the dressing table.
Wang Shanjia knew what was there - it was the handwritten letter from the Second Master that she had stolen to give to Hexing and that was then sent back by Hexing. Her heart started pounding, and after a while she calmed down and nodded to the Second Madam.
The second lady turned around and talked to Nanny Peng, then changed her clothes with the help of Luwu and followed them to the first lady's courtyard.
The eldest lady was leaning on the couch, letting the maid massage her head.
She had a severe headache, so she forced a smile when she saw the Second Madam, asked her to sit down, and then sighed, "Sister-in-law, I know I have wronged you in this matter."
She said she felt wronged, but her face showed no sign of aggrieved. Peng Lingwei was crying beside her, as if she was afraid that the Second Madam would not agree. "Second Aunt, just think of it as your niece begging you. You have always taken care of us young people, and you can't bear to see me lose my mother..."
The Second Madam couldn't help but sneer.
These mother and daughter are truly shameless to the extreme.
Yes, she loves the younger generation, so she has to die for the younger generation's mother? !
If she died, would the eldest lady treat her children well for her sake? !
This person is so selfish, what else can she count on? !
Peng Lingwei knelt in front of the Second Madam, but the Second Madam didn't even have the slightest intention of letting her get up and just let her kneel on the bare floor.
Madam Peng frowned and winked at Madam Peng to help Peng Lingwei up. She held back her anger and thanked Madam Er in a friendly manner, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely go and tell Fourth Lady when this matter is settled."
The second wife's heart was completely chilled.
There is nothing to pretend at this point.
If she didn't have a temper and didn't get angry, these people would find it strange.
She pushed Peng Lingwei away, stared at Madam Peng with a smile on her face, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mean that I should thank you?"
Madam Peng shouted, "Second sister-in-law!" She shouted, and when she saw that the second lady didn't say anything, she said coldly, "This is also for the sake of the whole family. Sister-in-law, please be more sensible!"
In the final analysis, she wanted someone to die for her, but she was unwilling to take any responsibility or say a single nice word.
She didn't believe a word such a person said.
She held back her anger and asked back, "What if I don't know the big picture?"
Madam Peng sat up from the couch and looked at Madam Two coldly, already a little impatient: "How can you be so ignorant? Madam Two has always been the most empathetic. Even if you are ignorant, you should at least think about Fourth Lady, Little Six and Little Eight, right? We are all family, and we are all connected. If something happens to the First House, can't the other houses be immune?"
Every word he said squeezed people so much that they had no place to stand.
The second wife finally stopped talking and let out a long sigh.
What kind of family did she marry into? !
It started snowing outside. Madam Peng asked Nanny Peng to send the Second Madam out, then she leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes.
This is where all this ends.
It's really terrible.
Peng Lingwei sat on the edge of the bed, still sobbing. She pushed her mother and asked her softly and carefully, "Mom, what will happen to my brother now that Second Aunt is gone?"
Mrs. Peng didn't like to think about her son.
No matter what, her son did testify against her and dragged her into this dilemma.
She rubbed her throbbing temples and said in a low voice, "Your Second Aunt is not stupid. Will she take the responsibility if you ask her to? In the end, it will all be pushed onto Changgui. Your brother and your Second Aunt are just going to stay in there for a while longer. They won't suffer any harm."
That's why she could resist looking at the son she missed so much.
He has to suffer more so that he will realize his mistakes and reflect on them.
Filial piety is the most important virtue. Could it be that his filial piety has been eaten into his stomach? He even dared to frame his mother. Even if he was tortured into confessing, the eldest lady still couldn't accept that her son would actually testify against her.
She was too restless to fall asleep, so she just sat up and stared outside.
But fortunately the matter was resolved. She stared at the ginkgo tree not far away, imagining the miserable state of the Wei family after the matter was resolved, and finally she felt a little bit of a smile on her face.
