The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 6: Madam Meng Takes Action

When the servant came to report that Madam Meng was coming to the Governor's Mansion, Yu Feng thought he had heard it wrong.

The governor had a dull personality and he seldom returned to the Meng Mansion throughout the year. People from the Meng Mansion had hardly ever stepped into the gate of the governor's mansion. He wiped his eyes and wondered what had brought her here.

Nanny Fang supported the old lady as she stepped into the main gate of the Governor's Mansion. Seeing Yu Feng standing there motionless, she frowned and said, "Is this Governor's Mansion so rude? No one came to greet the old lady?"

Yu Feng hurriedly bowed and said, "The governor has not returned from the palace yet, please let the old lady rest for a while."

"No need." Madam Meng waved her hand. "I came here while he was away. Call that woman out for me."

"Ok?"

"Do you need me to go and invite you in person?"

Yu Feng hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, old lady."

Nanny Fang looked at Yu Feng's back and said, "It seems that what the Imperial Concubine said is correct. The Governor has indeed hidden someone in the Governor's Mansion."

Madam Meng snorted coldly: "The Imperial Concubine is my niece. She can only sit on the position of Imperial Concubine because of Tingzhou's prestige in the court. The Lin and Meng families prosper together, so how could she harm me? A bitch like Jiang Shiwan must not be allowed to stay!"

Yu Feng was afraid of being tripped, so he ran out and ordered: "Send someone to report to the governor immediately."

Then he rushed to the main courtyard and said to Yunshang and Xueying, "Hurry up and take Miss Jiang to the front hall. The old lady is here."

Jiang Shiwan was a little surprised: "Madam Meng?"

Although I know the visitor has bad intentions and I am too lazy to deal with him, I have to go out and meet him since we are under each other's roof.

Seeing her calm expression, Yu Feng couldn't help but remind her: "Miss Jiang, I'm afraid the old lady is going to embarrass you."

"Meng Tingzhou should have expected that I would face these things when he asked me to stay in the Governor's Mansion."

"This……"

Pei Qing had handled everything before, but now he was facing such a big event alone.

The key is between women...

He wanted to cry but had no tears. He patted his head and felt a little crazy.

Governor, please come back as soon as possible!
When Jiang Shiwan arrived at the front hall, Yun Shang and Xue Ying were stopped outside the door. When she walked in, Old Madam Meng had already dismissed the rest of the people and only left four of her trusted confidants.

She bowed and said, "Greetings, old lady."

As soon as she entered the room, Old Lady Meng noticed that although she did not show any expression, her appearance was absolutely stunning, especially her slender waist...

Thinking that it was this person that her son could not forget, Madam Meng said coldly, "Since your Jiang family rejected the marriage proposal from the Governor's Mansion, why do you want to curry favor with the Governor's Mansion now that you are guilty?"

Jiang Shiwan lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask the governor himself about this matter."

With a "bang", Madam Meng's teacup was thrown towards her head, and the tea lid broke her forehead, and blood immediately flowed down her cheek.

"Don't use Tingzhou as an excuse!" Old Madam Meng didn't feel relieved. "You are just like your mother, dreaming of relying on men to get to the top!"

"Please be careful with your words, old lady!" Jiang Shiwan interrupted her, his expression cold, "My mother is the legitimate wife of the Jiang family. My father and my mother are very loving, and I will never allow others to slander her for no reason."

"The Jiang family is guilty, but I have never had the intention to cling to them. It's ridiculous that you take your anger out on me instead of asking your son why I'm here!"

"You!" Madam Meng raised her finger angrily, "If someone like you enters the gate of my Meng family, will you still have eyes for me, your mother-in-law?"

"I never said I wanted to enter your Meng family's gate. If possible, I will leave now."

"Someone come!" Madam Meng slammed the table and stood up. "Push him to the ground and slap him hard. If this little hoof becomes a member of the Meng family one day, he will be laughed at by the world!"

Two maids rolled up their sleeves and pressed the man to the ground. Nanny Fang personally grabbed Jiang Shiwan's face and slapped him several times: "Now I'm going to teach you how to behave." Jiang Shiwan felt furious, and before she could come to her senses, another maid picked up a thick wooden stick and pressed it hard on Jiang Shiwan's lower back. Soon the air was filled with the smell of tea.

Unable to tell whether it was tears, sweat or blood, Jiang Shiwan endured it all silently.

If insults have no bottom line, then Jiang Shiwan is like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be insulted by anyone.

"I guess you were serving the governor last night?" Looking at the person lying on the ground in pain and dying, Nanny Fang took out a bowl of black medicine from the food box she brought with her and handed it to Jiang Shiwan.

"This is the medicine that the old lady specially asked someone to prescribe. Do you want to drink it yourself or do you want me to drink it?"

Jiang Shiwan smelled the smell and became alert: "What is this?"

"This is contraceptive soup. After all, the governor is of noble status. How can he allow a lowly person to conceive a child of the Meng family?"

The mother and son, one wants to get pregnant as soon as possible, while the other does not want to get pregnant.

I feel like an ant that can be manipulated by anyone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiwan actually smiled meaningfully.

"Don't bother Mammy, I can drink it myself."

She propped herself up, half sat up, and drank it all in one gulp.

Madam Meng watched her drink the medicine, then stood up: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the governor dotes on you and loves you. Not to mention being the governor's wife, you are not even worthy of being a concubine..."

“No matter whether they are big or small, there are always intrigues in the backyard. I didn’t expect that such a huge governor’s office would only have these tricks.” Jiang Shiwan slowly stood up and looked at her coldly.

"Madam, use all the other methods you have to deal with me."

Unexpectedly, she was so stubborn that Old Lady Meng was extremely angry: "Strip her clothes off for me, call the coachman outside in, and tell him that I gave him this reward!"

"Madam!" Although Nanny Fang agreed to teach Jiang Shiwan a lesson, she was afraid that if she went too far, it would anger the governor.

When Nanny Fang thought of the governor's ruthless temper, she felt a little nervous.

"Madam, if the governor knew about this, I'm afraid..."

Madam Meng was determined to put herself in the right position: "Could he possibly destroy me, his own mother? Come on, take off her clothes!"

Although a few people were a little hesitant, they finally stripped Jiang Shiwan of all his clothes in no time, leaving only a nightgown.

Yu Feng watched the groom being dragged in, and vaguely glimpsed the clothes on the ground. He secretly cried out that something was wrong, and knelt down through the door: "Madam, the governor values ​​Miss Jiang very much, I'm afraid this is not good."

Madam Meng inside looked at him blankly: "Bring the groom in."

"Who dares!"

It’s Meng Tingzhou’s voice!
Meng Tingzhou had a stern face, pursed his lips and kicked open the hall door.

"Captain!"

Meng Tingzhou glanced around the room and finally landed on Jiang Shiwan, who was almost naked. He took off his cloak and wrapped her whole body, then picked her up and was ready to leave.

Seeing that he ignored her, her mother, Madam Meng became anxious: "Ting Zhou."

Meng Tingzhou looked down at the person in his arms. She closed her eyes and didn't look at him, but the blood, tears, and slap marks on her face made it easy for him to imagine what she had just been through.

"Pei Qing, beat all the maids around the old lady to death. Send someone to escort the old lady back to the Meng Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

Meng Tingzhou spoke with murderous intent, "Tell me who the old lady met yesterday and today, and what she said."
