Chapter 125 Enjoy Yourself
"Father said, let mother rest in Songqing Hall!" Thinking that Wang really didn't understand, Pei Heng, who stood silently beside Jiang Zhaoyue, kindly explained.
Wang slowly looked at Pei Heng, still not believing it.
"That's what father said, right, father?" Pei Heng asked with his chubby face raised.
"Yes." Pei Maokun looked at Wang: "If Heng'er can understand this, you should understand it too. From now on, the affairs of the mansion will be decided by the Crown Prince's wife, with the assistance of Concubine Zhong, Siya, and Sijing."
Wang opened her mouth and asked, "What about me? What should I do?"
"Just enjoy your life in peace." Pei Maokun said.
Wang Shi heard the hidden meaning and asked, "Are you going to destroy me just for a palace maid?"
Pei Maokun said calmly, "You are still the mistress of the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Wang was dissatisfied: "If you can't do anything, what kind of mistress is you?"
Pei Maokun said bluntly: "You can't do anything, it's the blessing of the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Wang was completely stunned: "You..."
“When the Empress was alive, you were methodical in your work and tolerant of everyone in the mansion, especially Aunt Chen and Heng’er and his mother.
“But since Empress Yuan passed away, you’ve become more and more arbitrary in your actions.
"You can't stand Jing Xiao and his wife, so you try to make things difficult for them. As a result, Jing Xiao is now... now..." Pei Maokun couldn't bear to talk about Pei Jingxiao's situation. After a while, he continued, "You think Jing Zhou and his wife are not suitable, and you cause all kinds of trouble.
"And Siyan, the only daughter who grew up in front of you, turned out to be the most rude, stupid and least like a daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion among all your daughters.
"Which of these things wasn't done by you?!"
"I'm also doing this for the good of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!" Wang came to her senses and still felt that she was not wrong and that it was someone else's problem.
Pei Maokun's face turned pale: "The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can't stand your 'kindness'."
Wang couldn't believe her ears again: "Pei Maokun, you actually said such a thing."
The Empress had shown favor to the Zhenguo Mansion, and Pei Maokun was also particularly tolerant of her sister. However, Wang Shi was becoming increasingly confused, and he was unwilling to tolerate it any longer. He said, "Xiao Peng has suffered too much. He can do whatever he wants. We should stop interfering."
Seeing Pei Maokun's resolute attitude for the first time, Wang knew that he had made up his mind and could not change it, but she could not accept it and could not control herself and shouted: "He is my son! I am doing this for his own good! I——"
"For his own good, would I yell at him in front of his sickbed?" Pei Maokun suppressed his anger.
It was the first time Wang saw Pei Maokun get angry and she was stunned.
"That's unreasonable!" Pei Maokun no longer cared about the old relationship and said, "Madam Li! Madam Qi!"
"Yes." The two maids approached tremblingly.
Pei Maokun ordered: "Send the lady back to Songqing Hall!"
"yes."
"Then give all the warehouse keys and account books to the Crown Prince's wife."
The two maids glanced at the distraught Wang and said, "Yes."
"Let's go." Pei Maokun waved his hand irritably.
The two maids came forward to support Wang and said together, "Madam, let's go back."
Wang wanted to get angry again.
"Mrs. Wang!" Pei Maokun didn't call her Madam or her name, but simply called her "Mrs. Wang" with a scolding in his voice.
Wang stared at him in a daze.
"Don't let the affection between us fade away." Pei Maokun threw out this sentence.
Wang and Pei Maokun had also been in love, and when she heard the words, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Madam, let's go." Worried that if the situation continued, Wang would lose her position, Nanny Li winked at Nanny Qi, and the two of them quickly pulled Wang out.
Wang's legs suddenly went weak and she collapsed downwards.
The two maids quickly hugged her and called out, "Madam! Madam!"
Nanny Li replied, "Duke, the lady has fainted."
Pei Maokun and the others did not move.
Pei Heng asked in a crisp voice, "Did mother really faint?"
Nanny Li suddenly remembered that Wang had pretended to be unconscious and deceived everyone.
"Mother, there's a mouse!" Pei Heng asked tentatively.
Wang did not respond.
"Chirp, chirp." Pei Heng imitated the sound of a mouse.
Wang still didn't respond.
Pei Heng then turned around and said, "Father, Mother really fainted this time."
Pei Maokun hurried forward to check.
Pei Jingzhou shouted, "Imperial Physician Kong."
Imperial Physician Kong, who came upon hearing the noise, saw Wang slumped in the nanny's arms and hurried forward to take her pulse.
"How?" Pei Maokun asked.
Imperial Physician Kong did not answer. He pinched Wang's palm with one hand and pinched her philtrum with the other.
Wang suddenly let out a breath, slowly woke up, and lay weakly in Li Ma's arms.
Aunt Qi called out, "Madam."
Wang hummed tiredly.
Imperial Physician Kong stood up and said, "My Lord, the Duke's wife was overly angry and stagnant for a moment, causing her to faint. She is fine now and would be better if she could calm down."
"Take her back to Songqingtang to calm down." Pei Maokun gave the order.
Nanny Li and Nanny Qi took Wang away.
Pei Maokun looked at Zhang Siyin and said, "You usually help your mother with some things, so you should know how to manage the household."
"Father, I know a thing or two." Zhang Siyin replied.
Knowing that this was a modest statement, Pei Maokun nodded and said, "Okay then. You, Aunt Zhong, Siya, and Sijing will take over the rear quarters. If you have nothing else to do, don't disturb your mother. Let her have some peace and quiet."
This completely sidelined the Wang family. Zhang Siyin had always felt that her mother-in-law was too troublesome, and now she could finally have some peace and quiet. She was secretly delighted: "Yes, father."
Pei Maokun turned his head to look at the bedside, slowly walked over, and took Pei Jingpeng's hand: "Xiaopeng, it's your father's incompetence that failed to protect you. You have suffered so much, and now you are injured again."
Pei Jingpeng, who had been mumbling incessantly, suddenly became quiet.
"Don't worry, even if it costs his life, your father will protect you and respect you. If you want to be with Qingluo, then be together. Your father will never stop you. Don't be angry or sad. Your father has already sent people to look for her. He will find her no matter where he goes." Pei Maokun said.
A tear flowed down the corner of Pei Jingpeng's eye.
Pei Maokun reached out and gently wiped away his tears, then said, "Don't be angry, don't be sad, you have to get better, only when you get better can you be with Qingluo, understand? Got it, then get a good sleep and get enough energy."
Pei Jingpeng was still so well-behaved. He relaxed his frown and fell into a deep sleep.
Pei Maokun suddenly thought of his second son when he was a child, so clean, so lively, and so well-behaved. Now... he is still the same now, and his eyes couldn't help but tear up.
But behind him were his children. He secretly sighed, concealing his emotions, and stood up again, looking at Pei Jingzhou: "Your Highness, there are still matters at court. I will go and deal with them first. I will come back at noon and look for Qingluo with you. I hope Your Highness will take care of this."
Pei Maokun was entrusted with the mission of defending his country. When Pei Jingxiao and others were young, they complained about their father's absence.
As they grew up, they all understood that only with a country can there be a home.
Therefore, they respect and love this father very much.
Pei Jingzhou also nodded: "Don't worry, uncle."
Pei Maokun left in a hurry.
Pei Jingzhou and others saw the imperial physician feeding Pei Jingpeng medicine, but there was still no news about Qingluo.
Jiang Zhaoyue said anxiously, "I'll go out and look for Qingluo too."
"No!" Pei Jingzhou was worried about danger.
"Except Xiao Peng, Qingluo and I have the most contact here. I know her a little bit. Maybe we can find clues in the process of searching." Jiang Zhaoyue explained the reason.
Pei Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
"I'll go too!" Pei Heng said.
"No!" Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue said together.
"Why?" Pei Heng asked unhappily.
