stern wife

Chapter 108

Xue Lian was so ashamed by the old woman, she could only turn around and leave in embarrassment.

She didn't dare to bother the Elder Master because of such a trivial matter. The Elder Master had a bad temper and was cruel. If he was unhappy, he would kill himself.

But at this moment, Nanny Zhang, who was walking beside her, said slowly:

"Since the old lady is not feeling well, let's go to the master."

"what?!"

Xue Lian turned around abruptly, reprimanded angrily:
"Master has everything going on every day, and it's the one you lowly servant can see whenever he wants? The old lady is lucky and will be fine soon. Aren't you afraid that the old lady will make the decision for me and drive you, a vicious old thing away? Get out?!"

Nanny Zhang is the only one around the Queen Mother, who would dare to easily offend the people around the Queen Mother?

So in all these years, it was the first time someone dared to scold her face to face like this.

On Zhang Nanny's face, there was no look of restlessness at all, and she only said in a cold voice:

"I'm sitting upright, what are you afraid of? It's you, it's fine if you don't take our wife seriously. Why, in your eyes, isn't even Master Pei worthy of being your master?"

Xuelian's complexion changed, and she immediately retorted:
"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't say that!"

"Then let's go to Master Pei."

Xue Lian choked, feeling a little apprehensive, but before she could think of any excuse to refuse, Nanny Zhang had already grabbed a passing girl, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, and handed it to the girl, saying :

"Take me to find the Duke."

When the girl saw the ingot of silver ingot, her eyes straightened immediately, she hurriedly reached out to take it, and said with a smile on her face:

"Please come with me."

Although the servants of the Duke's Mansion are well-clothed and well-fed, and have a lot of monthly money, this is the first time they have seen so much silver rewards.

Naturally, Xue Lian saw it too, and she was so jealous that she muttered in a moderate voice:
"The merchants are in the end..."

This seems to confirm the guess that Zhang Nanny is someone sent by the Wu family, because the Wu family is in business, and the servants are naturally generous.

It's just that she would never have thought that the money was not given by the Wu family, but by the current sage, so how could she not be extravagant?

Moreover, they were sent by the Holy Majesty, not Miss Pei. The daily expenses and monthly money were naturally paid by the Holy Majesty.

In short, not bad money~
The girl who led the way led them to the study room, and after thanking Nanny Zhang, she happily left.

Nanny Zhang stood outside the door, lowered her head slightly, and said in a voice that was not too big or too small for the people inside to hear:
"The servant has something to ask to see."

Pei Xingshan was writing an apology in it, and since he came back from the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, he had written a dozen in a row, but it was a pity that the Holy Majesty beat him back every time.

But as long as the sage does not punish him for a day, he will continue to write, otherwise he will never be able to dispel the sage's suspicion of him and even the entire Pei family!
As soon as he heard someone disturbing him outside the door, Pei Xingshan paused, frowned, and raised his head, wanting to repel the ignorant thing outside the door.

But that old and steady voice instantly aroused some memories of Pei Xingshan, he quickly swallowed the reprimand that had come to his lips, and said instead:

"come in."

"Yes."

Nanny Zhang slowly opened the door and stepped in. Except for the slight creak of the door leaf, there was no sound at all.

Seeing that Nanny Zhang had already opened the door and walked in, Xuelian had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in, but she changed her nostrils upturned in front of Mrs. Wu, her high head lowered deeply, and she didn't dare to look at the Duke. complexion.

To put it bluntly, the matter between her and Madam Zhang is a small dispute between servants. The Duke is busy with state affairs and world affairs every day. Using such a trivial matter to waste his time is almost the same as Courting death is no different.

But now that the matter has come to this point, she has no choice but to go all out and get rid of this ignorant old thing first.

In this way, even if Grandpa Guo blamed her together, she would still be at the bottom!
So, before Nanny Zhang could speak, Xue Lian said first:

"Reporting to the lord, the servant girl had some disputes with Nanny Zhang. The servant girl originally wanted to seek justice from the old lady, but the old lady was not well, so the servant girl did not dare to disturb her. Originally, she wanted to wait a few days before dealing with the matter. , who would have thought, Mother Zhang insisted on asking the master for an explanation, so she came to you, but the slaves tried to stop her but couldn't stop her, please be punished by the master!"

Nanny Zhang lowered her head slightly, and did not refute after hearing what was said to be true and false.

Unexpectedly, the expected reproach did not come as expected, Pei Xingshan just asked:
"Why?"

Xue Lian looked up at Pei Xingshan in astonishment, and after meeting his calm but powerful eyes, she immediately lowered her head in panic, with her heart hanging slightly.

It's strange, their master is notoriously short-tempered, although he restrains himself a little outside, he never hides it in the mansion.

Why didn't he say anything when he heard that this old man didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on coming to disturb him today?

Xue Lian faintly felt a little uneasy, but it was more of her bewilderment and panic after things exceeded her expectations.

Compared with her restlessness, Madam Zhang seemed to be more god-like.

She blessed her body and bowed to Pei Xingshan, her gaze was slightly downcast, she was neither humble nor overbearing, her movements were well-regulated, and she said slowly:

"Returning to Mr. Pei, Miss Xuelian accidentally knocked over the wife's medicine bowl. Instead of apologizing to the wife, she came to trouble the servant. The servant had no choice but to seek justice from you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Lian immediately turned her head to stare at her, and retorted sharply:
"It's obvious that you wanted to bully me because you were a slave from the Wu family, grabbing my wrist and pouring the hot soup on me!"

Fearing that Pei Xingshan would not believe it, Xuelian directly raised her head, revealing the blisters and red marks on her neck that had not disappeared after being burned, and said in a very aggrieved tone:
"This old servant has treated his slaves like this since he came here. It's a trivial matter for a servant to be hurt, but this old slave clearly doesn't pay attention to our Duke Pei's mansion, and he wants to do his best because his wife is the Duke's wife. I beg the master to be the master of the slaves!"

"From the Wu family?"

Pei Xingshan asked back puzzledly, then turned his gaze to Zhang Nanny.

Nanny Zhang also pretended to be ignorant, showing some doubts at the right time, and then said coldly:

"Miss Xuelian, don't talk nonsense, the slaves are not from the Wu family."

No wonder this little girl treated Nanny Zhang so rampantly. It turned out that she mistakenly thought that Nanny Zhang was someone sent by the Wu family to serve the Wu family.

However, Pei Xingshan wondered why the servants in Pei's mansion didn't know that Nanny Zhang came from the palace?
It stands to reason that the old lady should have informed the whole mansion of this news long ago, and then let the servants in the mansion not say what they shouldn't say or do what they shouldn't do in front of them.

After all, they are the ones bestowed by the emperor, and they are equivalent to the eyeliner of the Holy Majesty. Wouldn't it be tantamount to courting death to act presumptuously in front of them?

But now it seems that the old lady is really indifferent to their arrival, and has not disclosed their identities to the public...
