stern wife

Chapter 644 Drop the chain at a critical moment

Princess Wuyang waved her hands and let the two go.

However, he was in no mood to go back to the Eldest Princess' Mansion to have fun, so he made people turn around and return to the Duke's Mansion.

On the way, the female officer asked a little worriedly:
"Your Highness, is this matter true or false? Why does this subordinate listen to those people's words so clearly and honestly, it seems to be true?"

This matter is related to the reputation of their eldest princess, the female officer must be extra careful.

Princess Wuyang sneered and said:
"Of course it's a lie, although I also hate the old lady of the Pei family, but this kind of slander is really too unsightly.

The old lady in Pei's mansion was previously conferred the title of Madam by the imperial brother, do you think anyone can be conferred the title of Madam by command?

Before canonization, it is necessary to investigate the person's origin and net worth first, so that he can get this honor.

Therefore, if the old lady was really from a brothel, it would be no wonder that my imperial brother would confer the title on her back then! "

The female officer listened and nodded, yes.

She thought about it carefully, and then asked:
"Then... what is the origin of this old lady in Pei's mansion?"

Princess Wuyang thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't answer.

Those who went to investigate back then only told her imperial brother the results, but they didn't tell her!

Moreover, people only know that Mrs. Pei used to be an aunt. As for what happened before she married into Pei's residence, no one knew about it, and no one in Pei's residence mentioned it.

This is a bit weird.

Princess Wuyang changed her mind, and said to the female official beside her:
"Go, send a few people to investigate this matter, but don't say anything."

The female officer nodded in response, and immediately set about arranging for an investigation.

The person sent by the female officer quickly brought back the news, after all, everyone in Beijing is talking about this matter.

As long as you follow these rumors, you will soon find the root cause.

Unexpectedly, none of those rumors were false. There was indeed a very old woman who came to Beijing from a long way away, and all the rumors came from her.

Since she has no money, she is now living in a ruined temple outside the city.

I heard that she came to Pei Mansion to look for the old lady several times as soon as she came to Beijing, but she was always kicked out by the guards of Pei Mansion as a beggar.

After being driven away, the old lady was not idle, she would tell everyone how ruthless and snobbish the old lady of Pei's mansion was back then, and told the whole story of the other party's family.

It is estimated that she wanted to let the world see the true face of the old lady, and force the old lady to go back to see her mother.

After all, what the old lady did was extremely unfilial, and unfilial people would be cast aside by the world.

Even for the sake of Pei Mansion's reputation, she had to go back to visit her mother's grave.

Now that the old lady has a son who is the Duke of the country, he is of high status, so such ugly secrets are naturally spread quickly.

"Is there really such a person?"

Princess Wuyang frowned slightly, and said with some doubts:
"Then why hasn't there been any news from Pei's mansion until now?"

The female officer gave a 'tsk' and said:
"This matter is a big scandal. How dare those servants speak in front of the masters of this mansion? I'm afraid they will die!

What's more, our father-in-law is at home now and doesn't go out often, and the old lady stays in the backyard all day, so it's hard to hear the news from outside. "

Princess Wuyang felt that it made sense, she nodded, and said:

"Where is that old lady now? Is she still in that ruined temple?"

The female officer nodded, shook her head again, and said:

"She only stays there at night. During the day, she will go out and continue to run around. While begging for a living, she spreads the news. It seems that the old lady must be forced out."

Seeing Princess Wuyang's pensive look, the female officer thought she had guessed her thoughts, and continued:
"Your Highness, how about we send someone to deal with her secretly?
After all, if you keep this person, it will greatly hinder your reputation. "

Although the person that person came to look for was old lady Pei, the identity of old lady Pei was exposed, and she had nothing to do with Princess Wuyang.

But unfortunately, Mrs. Pei is now the mother-in-law of Princess Wuyang.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of a country has a mother-in-law from a brothel on her head, and even the eldest princess Wuyang will be looked down upon by others.

Princess Wuyang's eyes darkened, but she shook her head and said:

"No, the old woman's death at this time, doesn't it prove that what she said is true, and that we, the Pei family, were guilty of a guilty conscience, so we got rid of her? It's counterproductive."

The female officer frowned and said:
"Then...you can't let that old woman continue to spread like this?"

Princess Wuyang nodded and said:

"You have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. By the way, what about the Duke? Why don't you discuss it with him?"

The female officer twitched her lips, and said very unfairly for her master:

"Grandpa Guo is going out to socialize again today!"

From the female officer's point of view, their master's willingness to marry Pei Xingshan is the blessing of Pei Xingshan's eight lifetimes of cultivation!

In the end, this guy was fine, he obviously had nothing serious to do, but he always ran out, instead of staying at home, to accompany their highness the eldest princess.

I really don't know how to flatter.

Princess Wuyang also looked displeased, saying:
"Go, call him back to the palace, and tell me that something big happened at home, so don't delay."

"Yes."

The female officer immediately sent someone to look for the Duke, but they waited and waited for more than half an hour before they heard the news that the Duke had returned to the mansion.

The eldest princess Wuyang just wanted to get angry, after all, she is the eldest princess!No matter who Pei Xingshan made to wait, he shouldn't have made her wait so long!
When she is Wu Shi?So easy to bully?

Unexpectedly, before he had time to attack, he was wrinkled by the strong smell of alcohol oncoming.

Princess Wuyang immediately frowned and asked:
"How is this going?!"

Although Pei Xingshan didn't show any ugly appearance after being drunk, his steps were sloppy when he walked. He was supported by two servants, one from the left and the other from the right, so he didn't collapse.

The two servants did not dare to neglect Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, upon hearing this, they quickly replied:
"Returning to Your Highness, our master...he drank too much outside, so, it became like this."

Princess Wuyang covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and said angrily:
"Why don't you put him on the bed quickly and go to the kitchen to ask for hangover soup?! Could it be that I have to wait for Ben Gong to make it?"

No matter which woman sees her man coming back so drunk, she will not be in a good mood.

The servants hurriedly responded, first helped Pei Xingshan to bed, took off his shoes and socks, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

The female officer was afraid of being implicated by His Highness's anger, so she also retreated, and personally collected warm water handkerchiefs and spittoons, so as not to make His Highness unhappy when the Duke vomited later.

For a while, only Princess Wuyang and Pei Xingshan were left in the room.
