Chapter 52 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"Puff!" Although Pei Jingzhou was cold and reserved, and looked like he didn't want strangers to approach him, he was well-mannered and polite. It was the first time he said such harsh and merciless words, and Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help laughing out loud.
Wang and others glanced at her.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately pursed her lips and pretended to be dignified.
"No, no, my dear son-in-law called us here in a hurry. Didn't Zhaoyue get into trouble?" Mrs. Wu was discussing her children's marriages with Jiang Shihong at home. Pei Jing came in a hurry and said that Pei Jingzhou asked them to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
She asked the reason.
Pei Jing just said he didn't know.
She subconsciously thought that Jiang Wanxue's plan was successful. Pei Jingzhou was going to divorce Jiang Zhaoyue, so Jiang Wanxue would have a chance... She was ecstatic and hurriedly urged Jiang Shihong to quickly come to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
In order to show her wisdom, decency and sensibility as the mistress of Chengning Marquis's Mansion, she scolded Jiang Zhaoyue without thinking.
I didn't expect Pei Jingzhou to retort so harshly.
"Zhaoyue is the master of the Zhenguo Mansion. If he gets into trouble, it is also the Zhenguo Mansion's business. The wife of the Marquis of Chengning came and scolded him. Where do she put me, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo?" The last time he went back home, Pei Jingzhou already knew that the Chengning Marquis Mansion treated Jiang Zhaoyue harshly.
Unexpectedly, today, without knowing anything, Wu immediately concluded and scolded Jiang Zhaoyue for causing trouble.
He immediately felt sorry for Jiang Zhaoyue and, without caring about etiquette, he directly confronted Wu.
Mrs. Wu turned to look at Mrs. Wang.
Although Wang disliked Jiang Zhaoyue, she didn't respond because her son was right.
Wu also felt that she had overstepped her bounds.
"Don't be angry, my dear son-in-law. Women have narrow vision and have misunderstood." Jiang Shihong hurriedly tried to smooth things over and glared at Wu as he spoke.
"Yes, yes, I was mistaken and misunderstood Zhaoyue." Mrs. Wu smiled apologetically, "It is a blessing for Zhaoyue that our son-in-law cares so much about her."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Shihong smiled apologetically.
Pei Jingzhou's expression remained indifferent.
Wu glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue. She really underestimated Jiang Zhaoyue. This bitch was not only scheming, but also deceived them for so many years by pretending to be crazy and stupid under the command of Marquis Chengning, and successfully married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She was also good at coaxing men.
It hasn't been long since they got married, but Pei Jingzhou has become so protective of her.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but considering the overall situation, she had to put on a smile and ask, "I wonder what the dear son-in-law called us here for?"
Pei Jingzhou turned his head and looked at Yang Yanchen outside the pavilion.
Jiang Zhaoyue hit Yang Yanchen very hard. The wounds all over his body were swollen, and his eyes were squeezed to a slit. He lay on the ground in pain like a dead dog.
"What's going on?" Wu and Jiang Shihong asked together.
"Ask him." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Yang Yanchen, I'll give you a chance. Tell me the truth about what you did, otherwise I'll make you feel a life worse than death." Jiang Zhaoyue said in a calm voice.
Yang Yanchen had already experienced Jiang Zhaoyue's terrifying nature, and he quickly said, "Second Madam, I didn't mean to do that! I didn't mean to do that!"
"Let me tell you what's going on!" Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Yanchen followed up, "Someone found me and asked me to seduce you."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Who?"
"I don't know, it was just a masked man, he said..." Yang Yanchen stopped.
"Go on."
"He said the Second Madam was an easy seducer and told me to find a way to seduce her. If I succeeded, he would give me five thousand taels of silver." At this point, Yang Yanchen didn't dare lie anymore. "Then he gave me a sachet embroidered with the word 'moon', saying that I could sneak into the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "So you carried the sachet in and out of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?"
"right."
"How many times have you been in and out?"
"About three, four, or five times."
"How many times?"
"Five times."
"They let you in five times?"
"Because Xiao Tao gave me some instructions, I was able to sneak in. I finally waited for this great opportunity today, thinking I could succeed...but... "
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "If we succeed, how do we contact the masked man?"
Yang Yanchen replied: "I don't know."
"I don't know why you still do such things?" Pei Sijing couldn't help but get angry.
"Second Madam is beautiful. Even if I don't have five thousand taels of silver, I'm willing to give her..."
With a "bang", the tea bowl flew onto Yang Yanchen's face.
Yang Yanchen fell to the ground again, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Pei Sijing and others turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou, who was always aloof. He looked like he had ice knives all over his body, and they all felt cold all over.
"You don't know what's good for you." Pei Jingzhou had just understood the general situation from the conversation, expressions and tone of Jiang Zhaoyue and others. He knew that Yang Yanchen had bad intentions towards Jiang Zhaoyue. When he really heard Yang Yanchen say it, he used a lot of effort to not kill Yang Yanchen.
Yang Yanchen felt the chill coming from Pei Jingzhou and was so frightened that he dared not speak.
Jiang Shihong swallowed.
Wu was stunned.
Wang could see that Pei Jingzhou was angry.
Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue were both scared.
Pei Siya and Pei Sijing were even more afraid of their second brother.
Jiang Zhaoyue had never been afraid of Pei Jingzhou from the beginning, and she still wasn't afraid now. She turned to look at Jiang Shihong and Wu and asked, "Father, Mother, did you hear that?"
Jiang Shihong came back to his senses and answered in a daze, "I heard it."
"Did you find the problem?"
Jiang Shihong said, "Someone encouraged this rapist to do something indecent to you in order to achieve a secret."
"That's right, father, do you know who that masked man is?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Jiang Shihong asked back: "Who is it?"
"Mother, who is that person?" Jiang Zhaoyue turned to Wu.
"How should I know?" Wu asked back with confidence.
"Mother, do you really not know?" Jiang Zhaoyue looked straight at Wu.
Ever since the last reunion banquet, when she discovered that Jiang Zhaoyue was a scheming person, Wu felt that Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes had become unfathomable. Whenever she met his gaze, she always felt a little uneasy, but she forced herself to say, "Of course I don't know."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Then how did my sachet end up in the hands of the masked man?"
Wu asked again, "How would I know?"
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to ask, "Is my boudoir under the management of my mother?"
Wu continued to ask, "So what?"
"So, is my mother the only one who can take the things in my boudoir?"
Wu's heart tightened.
Jiang Zhaoyue explained, "I have only embroidered sachets in my boudoir, and all of them remain in my boudoir. I didn't bring any to the Duke's Mansion, so the sachet the masked man is holding belongs to the Chengning Marquis' Mansion."
Is it such a coincidence?
Is it only the Chengning Marquis Mansion that has the sachet embroidered by Jiang Zhaoyue?
impossible!
Wu quickly said, "When you got married, your mother gave you all the embroidery you had done as a dowry."
Jiang Zhaoyue sarcastically said, "It's so generous of you to give me something I embroidered as a dowry, mother!"
When the fact that the dowry was so meager was accidentally revealed, Mrs. Wu's face changed.
"However, mother may not know that when I sent the return gift, I returned all the embroidery to you." Jiang Zhaoyue picked up the return gift booklet and unfolded it to show Wu. It clearly stated that all the embroidery items such as sachets were returned.
Mrs. Wu was stunned.
"Father, take a look too." Jiang Zhaoyue showed the return gift booklet to Jiang Shihong and said with a smile, "These are the books approved by the two governments."
Jiang Shihong looked at Wu in surprise: "Madam, what's going on?"
