stern wife

Chapter 56
The word 'confuse' made Pei Xiaoran useless no matter how many explanations he had.

After all, it didn't say who made it on the clothes, so there was no proof, and if I said too much, it turned into contradicting the elders.

And the fault of this 'disrespect in front of the king', naturally, all fell on Pei Xiaoran, Pei Runzhi, and Pei Yuxuan who couldn't tell which clothes were sent by who sent them.

Pei Xiaoran raised one eyebrow and glanced at Pei Xingshan, thinking it was amazing, no wonder her two uncles who were said to be very good all died in battle, but Pei Xingshan was able to survive in such a harsh environment in Western Xinjiang and was still in the country. The father-in-law has enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth in a stable position. With this quick wit and the ability to throw the blame to others, he has no choice but to become the final winner.

Both Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan knelt down on the ground following Wu Shi. Hearing Pei Xingshan's upside-down words, Pei Runzhi gritted his teeth and was about to raise his head to say something, but Pei Yuxuan held down a hand calmly.

Pei Yuxuan pointed to Pei Xiaoran's direction with his eyes, as if to say: Don't worry, look at your sister.

Pei Runzhi was puzzled, but he knew that his intelligence was not as good as his third brother, so no matter how angry he was, he could only bear it temporarily.

And Pei Xiaoran did not disappoint the two elder brothers.

Her bright and clear big eyes rolled, and she suddenly smiled and bent her eyes, and suddenly realized:
"It turns out that the other new dress was made by my grandmother~ That dress is so beautiful, I really like it~ When I go home and say hello to my grandmother and aunts, I will definitely thank my grandmother!"

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this statement, but if you think about it carefully...

Ah--

Everyone present couldn't help but gasped in unison, and turned their heads to look at Pei Xingshan in unison.

It's fine to pay respects to the old lady, that's the elder, Madam Gaoming.

But... what is an aunt?Why do you want a prostitute to say hello to your aunts? !
My aunt said it was a concubine at best, but she was a servant who helped the wife wait for the man when the wife was inconvenient!When they see their own daughters and sons, they have to address them as Miss and Young Master.

What kind of rule is it to ask a prostitute to greet a slave? !
Pei Xingshan's face was ashen. Tonight, he was almost punished by the Holy Majesty because of the children in his family. At this time, no matter how calm and sophisticated he was, he still couldn't hold up the mask on his face. He looked at Pei Xiaoran like a knife, wishing to kill him Just stab this careless thing to death.

"My lord," he silently took a deep breath and said with all his might, pretending to be relaxed:
"My mother was afraid that the children would be laughed at if they broke the rules and etiquette when they went out, so they asked all the women in the family to teach and supervise the children. It was not to salute those aunts, but to practice with them and let them see what else they could do. It's not enough."

Pei Xiaoran pretended to be puzzled and asked:
"Then why did my father kick her to death after Sister Taoli taught me etiquette?"

Pei Xingshan froze, as if a basin of ice water had been poured down his head, freezing all the blood in his body instantly.

Compared with the matter of the daughter-in-law saying hello to the aunt, the aunt taught the daughter-in-law to salute herself in the same way as the queen, which was the real fatal blow.

For a moment, he even felt that Pei Xiaoran deliberately threatened him with Taoli's affairs so that he would not dare to speak for the old lady again.

But is this possible?

Just a little kid!

Fortunately, others didn't know about Taoli, and they never imagined that an aunt would have the courage to just treat it as Pei Xingshan's family business.

The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and said:

"Then the mother of Pei Aiqing's family can be relieved."

"This……"

Before Pei Xingshan could think of any more excuses to prevaricate, he threw down a cup of hot tea, impartially, and hit him right on the forehead.

For a moment, blood and tea splashed all over, and above his head was the unstoppable growl of Emperor Chixuan:
"Pei Xingshan, you are still lying to me!"

Pei Xingshan was taken aback. Seeing that Longyan was furious, the ministers and princes who had just touched their buttocks to the chair also quickly knelt down and shouted:
"Holy Majesty/Father, calm down!"

Emperor Chixuan turned a deaf ear, just stared at Pei Xingshan, and asked in a deep voice:
"What else do you have to say?!"

In fact, if Pei Xingshan had confessed from the beginning that the clothes on Pei Xiaoran were made by the old lady, and the old lady was a bit biased, there would be no such things that happened later.

Pei Xiaoran knew that it was impossible to get rid of the old lady at once, so she just wanted to teach the old lady a lesson first, so that she would not dare to treat her mother and brothers harshly in the future.

And Emperor Chixuan would not blame an old man. After all, the old lady is old and born as an aunt. It is not a big fault that the granddaughter who loves the concubine is a little paranoid. As long as Pei Xingshan is willing to take some punishment for the old lady , and that's how it went.

However, Pei Xingshan refused to tell the truth, and kept pushing all the blame on Pei Xiaoran, her mother, and brothers.

Heh, Pei Xiaoran's mother and brothers are all Pei Xiaoran's heart and soul, the bottom line that she must never touch.

If Pei Xingshan did this, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

Pei Xingshan lowered his head, the tea mixed with blood slowly slid down his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, he just closed his eyes and said:
"...the minister has nothing to say, the minister...deserves death."

Emperor Chixuan sneered, but said nothing.

If Pei Xingshan hadn't been the only Duke of the State who was sealed as a military officer in Suzaku territory, and if he hadn't been the lord of one side in charge of military power and guarding one side, maybe he wouldn't have been so angry, and only regarded other people's housework as a blur.

But Pei Xingshan has a high position and weight.

A person's behavior often represents his attitude. Pei Xingshan knows that there is a difference between his son and his son, and that his son is superior to his son, but he just allows the servants in his family to act like this and stand by. What does this mean?
It shows that he, Pei Xingshan, doesn't care about the dignity of his concubine at all!
Today he dared to rely on himself as the head of the family to back up those aunts and concubines to bully his concubines. How could he know whether tomorrow, relying on himself to hold military power, he would not even look down on him as the emperor, and then rise up to rebel!

It was also because he trusted Pei Xingshan too much. He felt that the Pei family was full of loyalty. As a descendant of the Pei family, Pei Xingshan should not do anything to deceive the emperor and humiliate his ancestors. That's why he relieved himself of power and gave him the supreme Power and glory.

It seems that he was relieved too early.

After all, how can a country's lord and general be more glorious and honorable?

It seems that his concubine is not just talking about killing the king, maybe he has this idea for a long time, let alone, he has been planning with his father for a long time!
