Chapter 33: Very
embarrassed As expected by Xu Muhua, Concubine Zhang is on the verge of collapse, and she is waiting for Xu Muhua to help her. She feels that only Xu Muhua can help her this time.
But now things are ruined by a little concubine?
When she heard what the eunuch said, all her anger found a channel to vent, and she was ready to go to Pei Zhen.
But Pei Zhen was still complacent in the mansion!
Because no one came from the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, Pei Shaorong didn't say anything. Even Aunt Zhao had already made all the preparations to deal with it, and even thought of the words to cry, just waiting for someone from the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion to come, or Pei Shaorong to complain. In the end, nothing happened!
In this way, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to mention this matter to the old lady or Lord Pei.
But she didn't expect that just when she let down her guard and thought that the matter was over, the Queen suddenly sent a female official to the Pei Mansion.
Everyone in the Pei Mansion knelt in the front yard. Of course, the Queen would not issue an imperial decree for such a matter. She just asked the female official to pass on the oral order.
The female official who came to pass on the oral order was the one that the Queen trusted and used to. She was the most particular about rules and regulations. She couldn't stand anyone breaking the rules. For a family like the Pei Mansion, they pampered a lowly concubine, let the concubine climb over the wife, and even the illegitimate daughter was suppressed by the legitimate daughter. Isn't it that there is no discipline in their eyes?
If she hadn't been concerned about Master Pei, she really wanted to ask what was wrong with the Pei family and why they had to pamper such lowly things.
So the female official had a cold face, and her cold eyes stayed on Pei Zhen for a while, and she seemed to snort coldly, saying: "The Queen Mother has given her oral order. The third young lady of the Pei family has no respect for her elders, disrespect for the eldest son, no respect for the law, relying on her favor to be spoiled, domineering and arrogant, which is really against the virtues of a woman. Order her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors, copy the Four Books for Women a hundred times, and she cannot go out until she finishes copying!"
After that, she looked at the masters of the Pei family and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Sir Pei, the Queen Mother said that as a tutor, you should know it!"
Sir Pei's old face was blushing!
Should know it, how could he not know it? As a tutor, he couldn't even discipline a concubine in the mansion, how could he assist the king? Isn't it a joke!
Just when everyone in the Pei family was feeling extremely embarrassed, the female official set her sights on Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but tremble.
"Pass on the Queen's order. Aunt Zhao in the Pei Mansion has no respect for the superior and the inferior, and has no respect for her mother-in-law. She has disturbed the family home and is the root of the chaos in the family. She is not worthy of being a concubine! She is punished with 20 strokes of the board as a warning to
others!" As soon as the words fell, without giving everyone in the Pei Mansion a chance to react, the few people who came with the female official rushed forward, brought a bench, and pressed Aunt Zhao. The sound of the board hitting people immediately rang out!
Aunt Zhao screamed, and was immediately blocked by someone!
The female official then smiled and looked at Lord Pei, "Sir, there will be no Aunt Zhao in this mansion from now on. Concubine Zhang was very angry and couldn't eat or sleep because of this. She lost a lot of weight. The emperor was very distressed, so he asked the empress to come forward."
It means that Aunt Zhao and Pei Zhen offended Concubine Zhang, and the empress was just following orders.
When Pei Zhen heard this, he thought of Xu Muhua, his face turned pale, and he was so scared that he wanted to faint but didn't dare to!
She just dared to be rampant in Pei's mansion.
Lord Pei was puzzled at first, and then he was very angry. Only then did he realize what had happened in the mansion, and he, as the head of the family, was kept in the dark.
Madam Zhao fainted before she finished the twenty strokes of the board. The female official was not soft-hearted and continued to beat her. She didn't stop until she had beaten her with twenty boards. She was polite again and then left.
Pei Shaorong had just helped her mother up when she heard her father scolding her: "Such a big thing happened in the family, why didn't you mention it? What did you, the mistress of the house, do?"
Madam Pei glanced at him coldly: "Is the old man too old and forgetful? Who in this mansion doesn't know that I am just a nominal figure? Who doesn't know that the head of the Pei mansion is a madam? The power of housekeeper was given to Madam Zhao by the old man himself - oh, she can only be a concubine from now on."
Letting a concubine be the housekeeper, she wanted to see if the Pei mansion could afford this shame!
Pei Shaorong lowered her brows and eyes, and without saying a word, she helped her mother back to the yard, leaving the chaos behind.
"Hahahaha, young lady, you are so awesome, you really guessed it! I have had people guarding outside the Pei Mansion, and they really saw someone coming to the palace! Young lady, guess what, I asked my fellow villagers and found out that Aunt Zhao was demoted to a lowly concubine! Pei Zhen was even severely reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, and was asked to copy the Four Books for Women a hundred times!"
A hundred times, her hand will be broken by the time she finishes copying, right?
She deserves it, letting her laugh at young lady, letting her be arrogant and domineering, a concubine's daughter, but she is more arrogant than a legitimate daughter! You can't see your own identity clearly, naturally someone will make her see it clearly!
Xu Muhua clapped her hands happily after hearing this, "That's right! Society will teach her how to behave!"
It's a pity that she wasn't there,
but it doesn't matter, she will ask Arong next time! Arong must be very happy too, after all, she got rid of her anger.
The Pei family's affairs must be secretive. Although everyone may not know the details, the Empress sent a female official to the door, and considering the attitude of the women in the Pei Mansion, everyone guessed that it was not a good thing and that they must have been reprimanded. If it was a commendation, the women in the Pei Mansion would have gone out to show off! Concubine
Zhang Guifei blew pillow talk first, and then sent someone to invite Xu Muhua.
Xu Muhua entered the palace this time very readily.
When Concubine Zhang Guifei saw her look, she rolled her eyes in annoyance and was too lazy to argue with her.
"I have helped you to vent your anger. I hope you can live up to my kindness!"
Concubine Zhang said meaningfully.
Xu Muhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. I will never let you regret it."
Xu Muhua asked Concubine Zhang about the urgency of the matter. Concubine Zhang frowned and said, "My cousin doesn't want to listen to me at all. She gets angry when I mention the things that happened in the past. She can't calm down. It's hard for me to ask her clearly."
Xu Muhua felt that maybe in her cousin's heart, Concubine Zhang was also one of the murderers who killed her.
"I wonder what your majesty's family said?"
When Concubine Zhang mentioned this, her expression immediately became cold and her red lips were pursed into a stiff line.
Xu Muhua did not ask any further questions and said, "I'll see if she will come to see me again tonight."
If she insisted on taking revenge, then she would have no choice.
