stern wife

Chapter 651 Catastrophe is imminent
Slowly walked to the table and sat down, picked up the hot tea poured by the lady officer and took a sip, Princess Wuyang said:

"Now is not the time to show off in front of the servants. The most urgent thing is to think about how to eliminate those rumors flying outside."

Hearing this, Pei Xingshan couldn't help but feel even more headache, and said:
"Now that old woman is dead, and there is no proof of her death, I'm afraid it's even more true that the Duke's Mansion sent someone to do it.

It is too late to dispel the rumors. "

If he had heard the news earlier, there might be room for redemption.

Pei Xingshan can bring the old lady back to the mansion, treat her well, give her everything she wants, and let her say that she has admitted to the wrong person, so as to eliminate the rumors that are not good for the old lady and the Duke's mansion.

Of course, if the other party is not sensible, he also has other ways to make the other party obedient.

But now, when the person is dead, it's too late.

Princess Wuyang glanced at him meaningfully, and suddenly asked:
"Master, tell me honestly, what is the origin of my mother-in-law?"

Pei Xingshan's expression turned serious, looking at Princess Wuyang's probing eyes, he said lightly:

"It's just the daughter of a poor family. She was abducted to a brothel. Fortunately, before she was ruined, she met my father and became the aunt of the Duke's Mansion."

The old lady stayed in the brothel for a long time back then, and there were quite a few people who knew her, and there were many wealthy merchants who knew her well.

Therefore, in any case, the old lady's life experience is inseparable from the word "brothel".

However, being abducted by someone is quite different from the fact that my mother is a brothel girl.

My own mother is a brothel woman, and she was born in a serious brothel.

But if the child who was abducted was a child of a decent family before, he was a victim. As long as he was not ruined, he was still from a decent family.

Since he is from a decent family, it is not difficult to ask for an imperial order for the old lady.

Princess Wuyang narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the suspicion in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved.

At that time, I won't be afraid of the crime of "deceiving the emperor" by the Duke of the Royal Brotherhood, which will put me in a dilemma. "

Pei Xingshan's face froze slightly, but he nodded vigorously and said:
"Naturally, I will not make Her Royal Highness the eldest princess embarrass me."

Princess Wuyang was about to ask how to deal with the 'wretched' people outside the door, when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

After a while, the servant in charge of the order came in, panting slightly:

"My lord, there are people from the palace, and they say they want to invite you and the old lady from our mansion into the palace. Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Hearing this, Pei Xingshan felt a 'thump' in his heart.

However, don't panic, His Majesty will summon him, not necessarily because of this matter!

Moreover, ever since he learned of the old lady's life experience back then, Pei Xingshan and the old lady worked together to get rid of all the people who knew the truth of the matter.

The old lady cleaned up some by herself before, but she was just a little aunt at that time, she was not capable enough, and there were always fish that slipped through the net.

When Pei Xingshan found out, the situation changed a lot. Not only did the old lady become the head of the Duke's House, but Pei Xingshan took over the Duke's House and the title that should have been inherited by his brother.

With the power to handle things easily, Pei Xingshan was convinced that he had already dealt with all those people.

And the child born to the girl next to the old lady's mother was secretly bribed and killed by the old lady.

That old woman spreading rumors everywhere is a fake!

Since it's fake, why should he panic?
Now that a person is dead, there is no proof of death, although the Duke's Mansion has become the biggest suspect of murder.

But in the end, it's just a criticism, it won't hurt your tendons, let alone your bones.

Comforting himself in his heart, Pei Xingshan gradually calmed down, washed up calmly, and changed his clothes before heading to Fushou Yuan to find the old lady.

The people outside the gate were filled with righteous indignation, they did not dare to leave through the front gate, but set out secretly from the back gate, and sent someone to the front gate to inform the palace man who came to pass the message, and waited for the two parties to meet up , and then rushed towards the palace together.

On the way, the old lady whispered to Pei Xingshan with a puzzled expression:

"It's fine if the Holy Majesty called you into the palace, why did you even call me this time?"

While talking, I don't know what I thought of, and said with a happy face:

"Is it true that the Holy Majesty is going to make me a first-rank imperial order again?

Tsk, it's different to have a princess as a daughter-in-law, even though the little hooves...even though the eldest princess is a bit disrespectful.

However, for the sake of her asking for a new order for me, I will not care about her for the time being! "

The old lady thought that she was too young and beautiful to see her as Pei Xingshan's new aunt recently, and the eldest princess knew that she was old and young, so she couldn't compete with them at all.

So he planned to use this to make her old man happy, so that her old man would say good things about her in front of Pei Xingshan!
Oh, what about the eldest princess, as long as she enters the gate of the Duke's mansion, she will hold her firmly in her hands and let her rub her into a ball!

Looking at the wrinkled and complacent old woman, Pei Xingshan just looked at it coldly, and didn't reply at all.

For the umpteenth time, he regretted why he was so soft-hearted and didn't directly get rid of this old thing that always brought him troubles.

If she had died early, there would not have been many things that happened later, let alone the disaster that happened today!

Everything is because of her, because of her!

The temperature in the carriage suddenly dropped a lot, the old lady shivered tremblingly, and said to herself with some doubts:
"What's going on? Why do you suddenly feel chilly on your back?"

Seeing that Pei Xingshan ignored her at all, the old lady felt quite bored, but she didn't dare to offend this 'rebellious son' easily, so she shut up embarrassingly.

The air pressure in the Imperial Study Room is very low, even more suffocating than staying in a small carriage.

As soon as the old lady followed Pei Xingshan into the gate of the imperial study, she couldn't help but her legs went limp for a while, relying on the support of the maid beside her, she didn't lose her composure on the spot.

Sitting behind the large desk is Emperor Chixuan.

Completely different from the amicable expression he had when he was treating Pei Xiaoran, Emperor Chixuan was expressionless and his eyes were cold at this time.

When he saw Pei Xingshan's mother and son coming in, he immediately threw a memorial on Pei Xingshan's face.

"I hope Pei Aiqing can give me a good explanation!"

Pei Xingshan is a martial artist, so it is easy to dodge such a small attack.

But he didn't dare to move, and he endured the blow.

The memorial fell to the ground and scattered. When Pei Xingshan lowered his head to pick it up, he saw the words 'Mrs.

Emperor Chi Xuan would call him and the old lady into the palace, but it was really for this matter.

In fact, when he heard that there was an old lady among the people who were announced by Emperor Chixuan to enter the palace, Pei Xingshan already knew that it was inseparable from this matter.

His self-comfort was nothing but self-deception.
