Zhang reacted immediately.
This boy must not be telling the truth!
How could she not know what kind of person her own brother is?
"What's going on? Tell me everything clearly. If you hide anything and delay the important work, I will sell you to mine!"
"Oh, Yunniang, this is urgent, why are you still asking? It's important to save the person first. It won't be too late to ask after you bring him back!"
"Yes, your elder brother is weak. If anything happens to him, how will I survive?"
Granny Shi disagreed and said, "Madam, you should ask for it quickly. The old lady will be here soon. By then, it may not be so easy to send someone to rescue my uncle. You know that the old lady can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. What she dislikes most is people who are idle and cause trouble everywhere."
Zhang didn't want to hear this, but she had to admit that Nanny Shi was right!
Zhang frowned, pointed at the boy and shouted, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
"Uncle,...uncle didn't do anything, it's just that when he entered the house, he saw a pretty woman and joked a little, but he didn't know that the family's guards and servants were gathered together, so he wouldn't give in..."
Zhang's eyes went dark, and she fell backwards in anger!
Madam Shi looked at them with disdain. These two people are just like dogs that can’t change their bad habits! They deserved to be beaten for flirting with the rich girl!
Now they want their master to be embarrassed along with them, how shameless!
"Mom, grandma is coming soon, let's go out and wait for her. Grandma and aunt should go see uncle quickly. My mother is not feeling well, so she can't accompany you today!"
"Yes, mother, it is inconvenient for my daughter to go out in this state. I will let the steward accompany you. Then I will ask my elder brother and second brother to apologize to the people and restrain them in the future. Don't cause trouble again!"
Zhang's mother was immediately dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? They are your brothers, and you are the support of your husband's family. How can you be like this?"
Qiao Sanniang couldn't stand hearing this, and she immediately retorted, "Grandma, what you said is wrong. My mother relied on me, my brother, my father, and my grandmother in the Qiao family. If she had relied on my uncle, my mother wouldn't be where she is today!"
Zhang's mother was furious and stood up to hit someone, but was grabbed by Shi Mama's wrist.
"Old lady, this is not a place for you to act wildly. It is not your turn to discipline my daughter."
The atmosphere was tense. Mo Jiaquan walked in.
"Madam, the old lady has arrived, but she is staying in the inn and will not come to the mansion for the time being!"
"Stay in the inn, why?"
"I don't know. Manager Shunzi just sent someone to inform me."
"Did the old lady say she wanted to see us?"
"Well, I didn't say anything, but the old lady asked your father to come over!"
Zhang had a bad feeling, but she still asked: "Why is this?"
"The girl that my uncle flirted with is our eldest daughter!"
Suddenly, Zhang's blood rushed up, and she could not stand up, and collapsed in the arms of the maid.
It's over, completely over!
His elder brother and second brother can't escape this time. Why did they offend his mother-in-law when they could offend anyone else? Isn't this like a birthday man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?
"Prepare the car and go to the inn!"
"yes!"
When they arrived at the inn, Zhang repeatedly told her mother and sister-in-law not to talk nonsense when they met Qiao Xin. Things were different now. Qiao Xin was now the wife of Hao Ming, and they could not be so presumptuous.
Go and ask for permission from your mother-in-law first, and then let them come forward.
But they were stopped before they even saw Qiao Xin in person.
"Madam, please go back. The old lady has something important to do today and doesn't have time to see you for the time being. Please go back and wait for her. Don't worry about the young master's pregnancy." Shunzi stopped her at the door and said respectfully.
"Now that I'm here, how can I go back without seeing my mother-in-law?"
"Second Madam, please don't embarrass me. I am just following orders."
Zhang was rejected again and again, and she felt embarrassed and angry. She was about to lose her temper, but was calmed down by the quick-witted Madam Shi.
Shang Qian took a step forward and said, "Manager Shunzi, does the old lady have any other instructions? I heard that you encountered some trouble when you entered the city. Isn't it because the lady is worried that she came to check on you personally?"
The relationship between the servants in the Qiao family has always been good, so Shunzi was a little polite to the old lady Shi Ma. He glanced around and whispered to Shi Ma: "Ma, you should persuade the second lady! Don't worry about these things. Uncle Zhang is too bold to flirt with a commoner girl in front of the old lady. If we let them go this time, where will our family's face be?"
"Will their lives be in danger?"
"How can I say for sure? But the old lady is not a person who kills people indiscriminately. If they haven't done anything against the will of heaven and earth, at most they will be punished lightly and warned severely.
But they can't stay in Yuncheng! We can't let the Second Master affect his reputation for an insignificant person? If the Zhang family is really worried, they can go to the government office to ask!"
Nanny Shi immediately understood that the old lady had taken the Second Madam's face into consideration in order to achieve this result. If the Second Madam continued to insist on her, the consequences would probably not be so simple!
As soon as Madam Shi got on the carriage, she told Madam Zhang what Shunzi meant.
"He really said that?"
"It is absolutely true, madam. Let us go back first and send a servant to inquire about it."
Zhang's mother was immediately annoyed: "He's your brother, why did you just send a servant to send him away? If you go there in person and ask them to release him, will they still say no?"
Madam Shi really didn't want to bother with this fool, but she was also afraid that Zhang would be soft-hearted and listen to her mother and go to the government office to ask for the release of the prisoners. By then, she would be trapped.
What the old lady hates most is the women in the back house who instigate their husbands to abuse their power for personal gain.
A virtuous wife brings less harm to her husband, and a generous husband brings more blessings to her wife.
The second master's treatment of his wife can be said to be impeccable. Now that he is in a high position, there is no one beside him except Zhang. Even when he is out on business, he does not sleep with other women, but lives with his wife wholeheartedly.
Although the heavy sword cannot do without the old lady's advice, it also requires the second master to really listen to it!
If the Second Madam takes this step today, the consequences will be beyond her ability to bear. The couple may never be able to get along as they did before.
Fortunately, Zhang was not completely confused and acted completely according to Shi Ma's advice this time, but the news she brought back was not optimistic.
