Chapter 33
As Xu Muhua expected, Concubine Zhang was on the verge of collapse and was waiting for Xu Muhua to help her. She intuitively felt that only Xu Muhua could help her this time.
But now things have been ruined by a little concubine? !
As soon as she heard what the eunuch said, all her anger found a channel to vent, and she was ready to go towards Pei Zhen.
And Pei Zhen is still complacent in the house!
Because no one came to Chengguo's mansion, Pei Shaorong didn't say anything.Even Aunt Zhao had been prepared for all the responses. She had even thought out the lines for crying, and was just waiting for someone from the Chengguo Palace to come to the door, or for Pei Shaorong to complain.Nothing happened!
In this way, she would certainly not be stupid enough to take the initiative to mention this matter to the old lady or Mr. Pei.
Unexpectedly, just when she let down her guard and thought the matter would just go away, the Queen suddenly sent a female officer to Pei's house.
Everyone in the Pei Mansion knelt in the front yard. Of course the queen would not issue a special edict for this kind of thing, but just asked the female official to deliver the oral instructions.
The one who came to deliver the oral instructions was the empress' trusted and accustomed female official. She was a stickler for rules, and at a glance, she was also the one who couldn't bear to see someone breaking the rules. For example, the Pei Mansion pampers a lowly concubine, letting the concubine climb over the head of the wife, and even the concubine's daughter over the head of the legitimate daughter. Isn't it because there is no rules in the eyes?
If she hadn't been worried about Taifu Pei, she would have really wanted to ask what was wrong with the Pei family and why they doted on such lowly things.
Therefore, the female officer had a cold face, and her cold eyes stayed on Pei Zhen for a while. She seemed to snort coldly and said: "According to the Queen's decree, the third lady of the Pei Mansion has no respect for her elders, no respect for her direct elders, and no law. Relying on pampering to be coquettish, domineering and arrogant, it is really against the good virtues of a woman. She was made to shut herself up and think about her mistakes, copy the four books of the woman a hundred times, and she was not allowed to go out until she finished copying in one day!"
After saying that, he looked at the other masters of the Pei Mansion and twitched his lips: "Master Pei, your Majesty said that as a Tutor, you should know this!"
Mr. Pei's face was always red with embarrassment!
When he knows, can he not know?As a Tutor, how can he help the king if he can't even discipline a concubine in the palace?Isn't it a joke!
Just when everyone in the Pei family was feeling most embarrassed, the female official set her sights on Aunt Zhao again.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but tremble a little.
"According to the Queen's mouth, there is Aunt Zhao in the Pei Mansion. She does not distinguish between superiority and inferiority, disrespects her legitimate mother, and disturbs the family home. It is really the source of chaos in the family, and she is not worthy of being a noble concubine! I order twenty boards to serve as a warning to others!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the Pei Mansion was not given a chance to react. The few people who followed the female officer swarmed up, brought a bench, and pressed Aunt Zhao down. The sound of a slapping board immediately rang out!
Aunt Zhao screamed and was immediately gagged!
The female officer then showed a smile and looked at Mr. Pei, "Sir, there will be no Aunt Zhao in this house from now on. Concubine Zhang was very angry. She couldn't eat or sleep because of this. She lost a lot of weight. The emperor was very distressed. It’s important to let the Queen come forward.”
This means that the person Zhao Auntie and Pei Zhen offended was Zhang Guifei, and the queen only followed orders.
When Pei Zhen heard this, she thought of Xu Muhua. Her face turned pale and she was so frightened that she wanted to faint but didn't dare!
She just dared to be rampant in Pei's house.
Mr. Pei was puzzled at first, and then became angry. Then he realized what had happened in the house, but he, as the head of the family, was kept in the dark.
Aunt Zhao fainted before she finished twenty strokes. The female official was not soft-hearted, so she continued to hit her. She stopped after finishing twenty strokes, and after being polite again, she left in a big way.
Pei Shaorong just helped her mother up when she heard her father scolding her: "Why didn't you mention such a big thing happened at home? How did you, the head of the house, do it?"
Mrs. Pei glanced at him coldly: "Is the master getting old and forgetful? No one in this house knows that I just have a false name, and no one knows that the person in charge of the Pei house is an aunt. ? This housekeeper's right was given to Aunt Zhao by the master himself - oh, she will only be a bitch concubine from now on."
Letting a cheap concubine take care of the house, she wanted to see if the Pei family could afford to be embarrassed!
Pei Shaorong lowered her eyebrows and helped her mother back to the yard without saying a word, leaving her behind with a lot of excitement.
"Hahahaha, miss, you are so awesome, I really made you guess! I have been keeping people guarding outside Pei's house, and I really saw someone coming from the palace! Miss, guess what, I am with my fellow countrymen. Let me ask, Aunt Zhao was demoted to a concubine! Pei Zhen was severely reprimanded by the empress's decree, and she was asked to copy the Four Books of Women a hundred times!"
A hundred times, by the time she finishes copying, her hand will be broken, right?
She deserves it, let her laugh at the young lady, let her be arrogant and domineering, a concubine, she has more airs than a direct descendant!If she can’t see her identity clearly, someone will naturally let her see clearly!
Xu Muhua clapped her hands happily after hearing this, "That's right! Society will teach her how to be a good person!"
It's a pity that I wasn't there,
But it doesn't matter, she will ask Ah Rong next time! Ah Rong must also be very happy, after all, he also let out a bad breath.
The affairs of the Pei family must not be hidden. Although everyone may not know the details, the empress sent a female officer to the door, and the attitude of the female family members of the Pei family made everyone guess that it was not a good thing, and they must have been reprimanded. If it were a compliment, the female relatives of the Pei family would have gone out to complain!
Concubine Zhang blew the pillow wind on her front foot, and sent someone to invite Xu Muhua on her back foot.
Xu Muhua entered the palace happily this time.
Concubine Zhang rolled her eyes angrily when she saw her appearance, and didn't bother to argue with her.
"I have given you a bad breath. I hope you can live up to my wishes!" Concubine Zhang said meaningfully.
Xu Muhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never regret it."
Xu Muhua asked Concubine Zhang about the tension. Concubine Zhang looked sad and said, "My cousin is not willing to listen to me at all. When I mention what happened back then, she gets angry and can't calm down. It's hard for me to ask questions clearly."
Xu Muhua felt that perhaps in her cousin's mind, Concubine Zhang was also one of the murderers who killed her.
"I wonder what your family said?"
As soon as Concubine Zhang was mentioned, her expression immediately turned cold, and her red lips pursed into a stiff line.
Xu Muhua did not continue to ask further and said, "I'll see if she will come to me tonight."
If someone insists on taking revenge, then there is nothing she can do.
The Zhang family had to bear the sins they had done themselves.
