Chapter 312: The Smart Lady Zhen

If a concubine who has no sense of shame is his wife, then what is the point of marrying her in a sedan chair?

One of the two children walked too fast and didn't notice the person who suddenly appeared from the corner. He bumped into Lady Zhen and fell to the ground with a smeared mouth, ready to cry.

The beautiful woman was shocked and ran over to pull the child on the ground and hold him in her arms: "Madam, it's my fault, everything is my fault, please let my child go."

Shuangjiang raised her eyebrows. She was still a scheming person. Before Lady Zhen had even found trouble with her, she was the first to complain.

"Come at me if you have anything to say. Don't embarrass Youniang."

Sure enough, after hearing what the woman said, Qu Pengfei rushed over and protected the little boy behind him: "You hit a child, you claim to be a noble family, but where is your upbringing?"

Zhen was almost furious at the shamelessness of the couple: "You are a scoundrel who has no regard for propriety, integrity, and keeps a concubine behind the back of your wife. You are qualified to talk to me about upbringing?"

"Ah? This... Mrs. Qu is a concubine?"

"I really can't tell! This Mrs. Qu doesn't look like that kind of person! Their child is eight years old, and there is another one in her belly!"

The kind eyes of the surrounding families immediately turned into disgust.

Nowadays, keeping a concubine is not a glorious thing, and people will stab you in the back and scold you.

"Husband..."

You Niang covered her belly with her hands, looking as if she could not bear the humiliation. The older child stood in front of You Niang and pointed at Zhen: "You bad woman, you are not allowed to bully my mother."

As he said that, he reached out to hit Zhen.

"How dare you!"

Xiao Xiangzi raised his hand and slapped the child on the shoulder, knocking him to the ground, and protected Zhen, saying, "You are just a concubine's daughter, and you dare to call yourself Madam in public? The child she gave birth to is just an illegitimate child, and can't even be included in the family tree. If you really want to count, you are just a servant. It's outrageous that you laid hands on the official's wife. Go to hell now."

Qu Pengfei was also perceptive. Seeing that the person following Zhen was actually the Imperial Concubine's people, his attitude softened: "Madam, this is our family affair. Don't let others laugh at us. It's better to go back and talk about it!"

Zhen knew what he was afraid of. Taking advantage of the Imperial Concubine's power, she sneered and said, "If you want to save face, you can. Bring this woman and the two children with you. I'm going to deal with this matter in front of my father-in-law."

The person who did such a shameless thing was Qu Pengfei, not her. The Imperial Concubine was right, the Qu family and the Zhen family were well matched, and the Zhen family was not inferior in any way.

Why did she swallow her anger?

Qu Pengfei already had two illegitimate children outside, and this concubine was pregnant with another one. She didn't believe that her father-in-law didn't know. He

knew everything, but kept it a secret from her as if she were a fool. Their family was really united, teaming up to deceive her, an "outsider".

"Do you have to make a big deal about this?"

Qu Pengfei stepped forward and glared at her: "I have no feelings for you in the first place. My father forced me to marry you. If you say you have no shame, I was already with You Niang before you got married. Who is so shameless that he had to marry me?"

"Pa!"

Zhen could no longer bear it and slapped Qu Pengfei: "If you don't want to marry me, you can just refuse this marriage. Since you married me, you keep another child outside and use me as a tool to deal with the family. Mr. Qu, just wait for me. My Zhen family is not that easy to mess with."

Changchun Fairy Pavilion -

Xiao Xiangzi described the scene vividly: "You didn't see it, your majesty. Mrs. Qu's slap broke the skin on the corner of the eldest master's mouth, and the eldest master of the Qu family was very scared. In the end, he reluctantly took the concubine and two illegitimate children back to the Qu family. Mrs. Qu said that when Qu Sanlang is rescued, she will definitely thank you, your majesty." Zhen

was a smart person. Smart people would not send thank-you gifts in a high-profile manner, but would repay in other places.

Frost has hinted at the problems of the Pei family. I believe that Zhen will soon give Jiang Xinyue a satisfactory gift.

"Boom--"

A muffled thunder exploded in the sky above Jiuzhou Qingyan, and soon heavy rain poured down. The rain poured in from the windowsill, and Wang Dequan quickly directed the eunuchs to close the windows.

"Eunuch Wang, the old lady of the Qu family is outside to ask to see the emperor."

Sitting on the bed, wearing clothes, the "sick" emperor put down the book in his hand: "Announce."

After being imprisoned for three days, Qu Sanlang was finally released. At this time, he had lost his human form and was covered in blood.

But he was lucky because he had a family background and was not really beaten to death.

The brothel owner who was arrested on the same day was in a terrible state. She was stabbed in the body with thousands of embroidery needles at the same time and died in agony.

It was good enough for him to get out alive.

But after he got out, he found out that his father had a concubine and he almost broke up with his mother. There was a cute and pretty young concubine in the house, and she also brought him two illegitimate brothers.

If his friends knew about this, they would laugh at him to death.

It would be better to let him die in a secret cell!

He couldn't afford to lose face.

No matter how hard they tried to suppress it, the fact that the eldest master of the Qu family had a concubine was still revealed.

Having one more concubine would not cause much of a stir, but the concubine not only brought two sons of eight or nine years old into the house, but also had a big belly. This was very intriguing.

It is said that on the day when Qu Pengfei took a concubine, the old lady slapped the concubine in front of all the guests and said that she would register the two illegitimate children under the name of Zhen.

"It's hindsight."

Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but complain: "It's just a show for others to see and save a little face. A gold medal of immunity from death in exchange for a grandson, but it's not worth it, so she took her anger out on the concubine."

According to the old lady Qu's previous behavior, this gold medal of immunity from death was probably reserved for the Dingguo Mansion in the capital, and was reserved to help the third prince ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

Originally, Qu Pengfei had two illegitimate children outside, and even if Qu Sanlang died, this thing would not be used on him.

Anyway, the Qu family will not be extinct.

However, Lady Zhen found out about Qu Pengfei's mistress and threatened to divorce her, demanding that Old Lady Qu use the golden medal of immunity from death to rescue her son.

Lady Zhen also asked Young Lady to become a concubine in the mansion. Young Lady was unwilling at first, thinking that she would be subject to the rules set by the wife and be bullied.

It was Jiang Xinyue who gave her the idea to register Youniang's two sons under her own name. It seemed to give Youniang a lot of respect and turn her sons from bastards into noble legitimate sons.

But in fact, bastards are bastards and can never become legitimate sons.

Especially since the two children are so old, their hearts are on their side. As long as Zhen cares about them in front of others and spoils them behind their backs, she can make good use of the power of public opinion.

In the future, when people mention these two children, they will only say that they are ungrateful wolves who can't be tamed. What can they achieve?
