On the other end, Mrs. Pei brought Pei Shaorong and Chen Jinzhu back to the Pei Mansion. On the way back to the main courtyard, she happened to run into Aunt Zhao who had been demoted to a concubine.

Although Aunt Zhao was demoted to a concubine, her treatment in the Pei Mansion was not much different from before. Master Pei was indeed angry at her for causing such a big trouble at first, but he couldn't stand Aunt Zhao's pillow wind, and it didn't take long for him to feel sorry for Aunt Zhao.

But the person who reduced Aunt Zhao to a concubine was the queen. No matter how distressed he felt, he would not dare to go against the queen! I can only feel that I have wronged Aunt Zhao in terms of status and made up for it in private.

So Aunt Zhao is still living a comfortable life now, and she is still protected by Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei.

Seeing Mrs. Pei, Aunt Zhao's cheeks twitched and her teeth itched with hatred.

"How dare you not be polite when you see Madam!" the old lady beside Madam Pei shouted sternly.

Aunt Zhao gave a perfunctory salute to Mrs. Pei, thinking that no one saw her, so she curled her lips secretly.

In the past, Mrs. Pei was really too lazy to care about Aunt Zhao, and she didn't even bother to argue with her.

But it's different now.

She glanced at Aunt Zhao coldly, "It seems that those twenty pieces of advice and the identity of a bitch have not made Aunt Zhao behave."

Aunt Zhao's face twisted momentarily, she dared not speak in anger. I had no choice but to perform a standard concubine ceremony honestly.

"During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Zhao still needs to remember her identity, stay in her yard honestly, and don't run around, lest she accidentally bump into the nobles, and make the whole Pei family become the capital's people. A joke."

Aunt Zhao was angry at first, but soon became proud again, and said in a pretentious manner: "Madam, this is the master's permission for me to move around as I please."

Mrs. Pei sneered coldly, "Oh, can your master change your identity as a bitch? If you offend the nobleman again, and the nobleman blames you, can your master confront the nobleman and defend you?"

"you!"

Mrs. Pei took two steps forward, walked to Aunt Zhao, stretched out her hand to hold her chin, and looked at her with contempt, "Since she is a bitch, she should act like a bitch! What happened last time will happen again , I’m afraid you can’t even keep your status as a bitch! If I were you, I would keep my tail between my legs and behave honestly. Why would you come out to show off at this time? I’m afraid that outsiders won’t know that your master is a concubine who dotes on his concubines and destroys his wife. Are you afraid that no one will read Father-in-law's book?"

After speaking, she waved her hand vigorously. Aunt Zhao became unsteady, staggered, and fell down on the guardrail of the corridor.

The nanny next to me immediately handed over a clean handkerchief. Mrs. Pei took over and carefully wiped the hand that had pinched Aunt Zhao's chin just now, and then handed the handkerchief to Mammy.

Grandma casually handed it to the maid beside her, "Take it and burn it! There's no use keeping dirty things!"

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she almost fell down.

Too much bullying, too much bullying!
  Mrs. Pei walked past Aunt Zhao without squinting, and Pei Shaorong also remained calm, without even raising her eyes. Chen Jinzhu lowered his head, wishing he could shrink himself.

When Mrs. Pei walked away, Aunt Zhao screamed uncontrollably.

"Oh, aunt, aunt, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, otherwise it will be bad if people hear it and complain to the Taifu!" The master will not do anything to my aunt, but the Taifu is different!

If it hadn't been for the old lady's misbehavior and her life-and-death protection of her aunt, her aunt would have been sent to Zhuangzi by the master! Aunt Zhao was not afraid of anyone in the Pei Mansion, but Taifu Pei was the only one who made her afraid from the bottom of her bones.

The mother-in-law next to Aunt Zhao was worried that she was up to something again, so she had to change the subject and said: "Auntie, I heard some news about the niece next to Madam recently."

Aunt Zhao immediately heard something strange, "What's the news?"

The mother-in-law lowered her voice, "I heard that this cousin came to the capital to avoid trouble because something happened in her hometown."

"Seriously?" Aunt Zhao suddenly became energetic.

"How dare I deceive my aunt? Someone close to the master overheard it, and then quietly told Xiaocui, and Xiaocui told me!"

Xiaocui is the mother-in-law's daughter, and she is a pair with the boy who serves Master Pei in the study.

Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed, "Check it out for me! Wait until I get the handle and see if I don't tear her apart!" Take revenge on her for being humiliated today!
  "Do you have something to tell me?" Mrs. Pei asked after she returned to her room and sat down.

Pei Shaorong nodded, "Mother, my cousin and I really want to tell you something. Please, mother, please withdraw from the people around you."

Mrs. Pei frowned, waved her hand, and the nun who was waiting beside her led the maids back out, while she stayed outside to prevent others from eavesdropping.

Pei Shaorong waited until the irrelevant people had retreated before speaking out about his suspicions about the Zhao family.

Mrs. Pei was very surprised, but then she frowned deeply. Although nothing could be seen on her face, there were waves in her heart.

Indeed, they have never doubted the Zhao family! Because the Zhao family had never shown any dissatisfaction or objection to the marriage before. So eldest brother and the others never suspected it at all!

After the incident happened, I just wanted to catch that group of people and bring them to justice, but I never doubted that the whole incident might be related to the Zhao family! It was a conspiracy deliberately set up by the Zhao family!

"Mom, I think we should write to my uncle immediately and ask him to investigate the Zhao family's affairs privately. Maybe... maybe it's really like what Mu Hua said. Otherwise, why would the Zhao family's attitude be like this? Strange! You didn’t show any kindness after your cousin’s accident?”

Mrs. Pei said nothing. Chen Jinzhu sat down and bit her lip.

"Jinzhu, do you think the same way?" Mrs. Pei asked.

Chen Jinzhu raised his head and looked at his aunt, nodded, his voice choked up, "Aunt, if it's true and we didn't do anything, I will have to bear this kind of infamy for the rest of my life!"

How can she accept this?

If it was really just an accident, then she could only say that her fate was bad. But if it was man-made, why should she suffer such a crime? What did she do wrong? If the Zhao family doesn't want this marriage, they can come and cancel the marriage. It's not like the Li family has to cling to the Zhao family!

But they wanted to break off the engagement but didn't want to take responsibility, so they blamed it all on her, put the shit basin on her head, and ruined the rest of her life. How could she swallow this breath?

"But what if it's false? What if it's just your random guess? If someone from the Zhao family discovers it during the investigation, they might bite you back, and your reputation will be even worse. You might Will you bear the consequences?" Mrs. Pei asked calmly.
