Chapter 36: Beat the dog when it is down

"Why are you thanking me? It was not me who asked Concubine Zhang to help."

Xu Muhua said, but she winked at Pei Shaorong suggestively, clearly admitting that she was the one who did it.

Pei Shaorong tapped her head with her index finger with amusement, "Yes, it was not you who asked Concubine Zhang to help."

But she must have found a way to let Concubine Zhang help her vent her anger, otherwise, no matter the queen or Concubine Zhang in the palace, it is impossible to fight for a concubine and a bastard girl in a minister's house.

Aunt Zhao and Pei Zhen were the first.

Xu Muhua took Pei Shaorong's arm and asked, "Are you happy? Are you excited?"

Pei Shaorong nodded generously and admitted, "Happy, excited!"

Her usual indifference does not mean that she has no resentment towards Aunt Zhao and her daughter, nor does it mean that she does not want to see them get into trouble and fall.

It's just that she has her father and grandmother above her, and her mother doesn't care about things. No matter what happens, as long as the mother and daughter speak, she will be the only one who will suffer in the end. She had no choice but to avoid the sharp edge and look for opportunities later.

Now that Muhua helped her vent her anger legitimately and righteously, of course she was happy and excited.

Even her mother ate an extra bowl of rice that night, and she seemed to be in much better spirits.

"Hehe, that's good. I want you to be happy, I want you to be cheerful! Just wait, there will be many things that will make you happy in the future! Your life will get better and better!"

Pei Shaorong's heart was warmed by her words.

"Then I will borrow your valuable advice."

Xu Muhua's eyes rolled, "I'm afraid I will have to borrow your influence in the future. Don't ignore me because of my low birth! If you are rich and powerful, don't forget each other!"

Pei Shaorong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do I look down on a person because of his birth? I didn't care before, I don't care now, and I won't care in the future!" If you

still care about birth, identity, and status when making friends, then you are not friends, but just interests.

"Of course I know you're not. I'm just worried. Things are unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the future!"

"It's useless for you to say this now. I've promised now, but what if I regret it in the future?"

Pei Shaorong asked deliberately.

Xu Muhua was choked.

Pei Shaorong couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and she lay on the couch, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Okay, you did it on purpose, wait and see how I punish you!"

Xu Muhua shouted and rushed over, his hands tickling her body all over. Pei Shaorong exclaimed repeatedly and laughed breathlessly.

The room was filled with laughter until a notification interrupted the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

"Miss, Aunt Zhao is here, she said she came to apologize to Miss Xu."

Then, without waiting for Pei Shaorong to speak, she added, "Jin Yu, who is by the side of the old lady, came with her."

Pei Shaorong's expression immediately turned cold.

"Muhua, if you don't want to, then don't see them, don't worry about them."

Xu Muhua raised an eyebrow, "Why shouldn't I see them, isn't it fun to beat a drowning dog?"

Pei Shaorong was stunned for a moment, but Xu Muhua had already told the maid to let Aunt Zhao in.

The two of them sat on the couch, Xu Muhua was still leisurely brewing tea, the tea fragrance filled the air.

Aunt Zhao was beaten with twenty boards, and it had only been two days, so of course there was no talk of recovery. So she was supported by two maids and walked in. Her face was pale, her mouth was bloodless, her forehead was sweating from the pain, and her lips were trembling from the pain.

Pei Shaorong frowned, "Mrs. Zhao is in such a state, you don't stay in the house to take good care of her, but let her walk around with her injuries. How do you take care of her? If she makes any mistakes, the old lady and the old man will blame her, can you afford it?"

Mrs. Zhao almost bit her teeth when she heard this.

But no matter what, she had to endure this tone today, and she had to satisfy them!

Mrs. Zhao was regretting it so much that her intestines turned green! If she knew that a small incident a few days ago could lead to such serious consequences, she would definitely handle the matter more properly instead of letting it go! She

underestimated this Miss Xu. She didn't expect that she could even let Concubine Zhang come forward to help her.

Aunt Zhao's eyes fell on Xu Muhua. She no longer had the contempt she had that day, but instead a hint of humility.

She brushed away the maid's hand and forced herself to bow to Xu Muhua - it was such a simple action that pulled the wound on her back, causing her to shiver involuntarily in pain, and she almost fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and held on.

"Miss Xu, it was Zhen'er's fault that day. She offended Miss Xu. Miss Xu is very magnanimous and did not pursue Zhen'er too much. I came here specially to thank you."

Oh, Xu Muhua had a new respect for this Aunt Zhao!

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder she lived better than the regular mistress in Pei's house, with this kind of character and this ability to endure.

Oh, maybe she did something bad! With Aunt Zhao's previous pride and arrogance, I believe something bad would happen sooner or later. But now after this disaster, she knows how to lie low and keep a low profile, which is difficult to deal with.

It's not that we are afraid of bad people being bad, but that bad people have brains!

"Aunt Zhao, your condition is serious. What happened that day was just a prank between children. I have always been broad-minded and tolerant, and I have long forgotten what happened that day. I just don't know how you are now, Aunt Zhao... You look like you are injured, and it's quite serious. Are you okay?"

Xu Muhua asked with concern.

Aunt Zhao showed a touching expression, "Thank you Miss Xu for your concern, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it won't be a problem. I feel relieved with what Miss Xu said, I will definitely discipline Zhen'er strictly in the future, let her be humble, gentle and kind."

"It's good that you can think so. If you don't teach your child, one day she will offend someone she shouldn't offend, then others will have to teach her for you."

However, a dog can't change its eating shit, Pei Zhen's character has long been fixed, it is impossible to change. And Pei Zhen is not as simple as being willful and domineering, she really has a black heart!

"Miss Xu's words make sense, I have learned my lesson."

Aunt Zhao seemed to have come here specifically to apologize, and was soon helped away. Before leaving, she seemed to have fainted because of her injuries.

Jin Yu was a maid who served the old lady. She was usually very polite and wanted to say something, but when she saw Xu Muhua, she swallowed her words and said nothing.

She ordered someone to help Aunt Zhao back to the yard, and she hurried back to the old lady to report.
