The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 48 048 Mistake

"Somebody come!"

She gave an order, and the two women who were guarding outside immediately broke in.

These are the people brought by Shen.

Shen has been in charge of the central government since she married into the Hou Mansion, and has accumulated prestige in the Hou Mansion for a long time. At this moment, the servants of Rongfu Hall looked at each other, and for a while no one dared to step forward to stop him.

So, the two broad-shouldered women pulled Aunt Jiang out of Chu Lingxiao's arms.

"Shen Zhi!"

Chu Lingxiao's face turned red with anger. He couldn't quarrel with the cowardly mother-in-law, so he could only scold Mrs. Shen.

Although Shen Zhi always acted aloof, on weekdays, she treated him with respect.

He never knew that a woman could be so arrogant without being as gentle and gentle as a woman should be!

Chu Lingxiao's pupils were filled with anger.

When they first got married, he felt that Mr. Shen looked down on him.

Indeed, back then, if it had not been for the Shen family, they would have been deprived of their titles in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Because of this, since Mrs. Shen married into the Hou family, the whole family has almost praised her to the heavens. Mrs. Shen also thinks very highly of herself, always acting up, and has no consciousness of being a wife.

Being with her, Chu Lingxiao felt bored and tired from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Hou...Master Hou."

Aunt Jiang cried so hard that the pear blossoms were covered with rain, and she was so sad and desolate.

Chu Lingxiao was heartbroken and couldn't help blurting out: "Shen Zhi, do you believe me or not..."

Seeing that Chu Lingxiao was about to say the word "divorce his wife" in a fit of anger, the wife interrupted him with a dark face: "That's enough!"

Mrs. Tai slapped the coffee table with a loud sound and said with a cold face: "Aunt Jiang has no way of controlling her servants."

She gave Chu Lingxiao a warning look, signaling for him to be patient.

Although Aunt Jiang was her niece, she was just a poor orphan girl, but Shen was the legitimate daughter of Duke Mu.

It is okay for a son to spoil his concubine, but it is absolutely not okay for him to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife!

Among the nobles of Daqi, there are not a few couples who are at odds with each other, as long as they can get along with each other in terms of face.

However, a wife is a wife and a concubine is a concubine!

The evidence of Aunt Cui’s crime of murdering her master is conclusive, and it is not wrong for Mrs. Shen to punish Aunt Jiang. How could Chu Lingxiao have to put down the honor of his wife for the sake of a concubine?

The madam softened her voice and advised: "Axiao, this is a matter of the inner house. You, a man, should not interfere."

She was afraid that Chu Lingxiao would say something inappropriate again and it would not end.

At this time, Chu Lingxiao had also calmed down, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes looking at Shen were full of coldness, as if to say: You dare!

Chu Qianhuang looked at her parents at a loss, twisting a handkerchief tightly with both hands, but hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Shen gave Chu Lingxiao a faint smile and ordered: "Beat."

She gave the order, and soon the sound of bamboo boards beating against flesh could be heard in Rongfu Hall.

Once, twice, three times...

It was mixed with the woman's weak and sad cry of pain.

Immediately afterwards, there was another heavy sound of things being thrown, and Chu Lingxiao was seen walking out angrily, his face livid.

The maids and women who were guarding outside the hall looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Although they didn't know what happened inside, they all just heard Mrs. Hou ordering Aunt Jiang to be beaten.

So, was Aunt Jiang really beaten? ! Madam is such a good-natured person and has never been a mean aunt or mistress. How big of a mistake has Aunt Jiang made? !

The servants either listened carefully or whispered among themselves.

When others were not paying attention, Biya quietly retreated, thinking: Aunt Jiang is the biological mother of the second girl, she should hurry up and tell the second girl.

Biya asked her close sister to be her errand for a while, and then hurried to Wanyan Courtyard to report the news.

Amber told Chu Qianchen truthfully.

Chu Qianchen had changed into blue clothes and was now wearing a veil. When she heard this, her hands paused.

"Girl," Amber said cautiously, "Biya doesn't know how injured my aunt is, but do you want me to go and find out?"

My daughter has always been filial. Although she has become somewhat estranged from Aunt Jiang recently, in the past, whenever Aunt Jiang felt a little unwell, she would be more anxious and worried than anyone else.

Moreover, it was because the girl cured Mei'er that Mei'er confessed to Aunt Cui. Now that Aunt Jiang has been punished for this, I wonder if the girl will feel sad.

"No need." Chu Qianchen put on the veil and asked calmly, "What else did Biya say?"

Hu Bo observed the words and expressions carefully and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no anxiety or self-blame on Chu Qianchen's face.

In fact, she was also afraid that the girl would be coaxed by Aunt Jiang again and she would show her heart to Aunt Jiang.

Amber added: "Biya said that Aunt Cui hit the leg of the table, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead."

"The Marquis and his wife had a big quarrel, and finally walked away with a livid face. There was a little maid who took a few steps away and was kicked hard by the Marquis. She couldn't get up for a long time."

"After Aunt Jiang was beaten, she was sent back to her yard."

After a pause, Amber murmured: "Madam, she will be grounded for one month, and she will have to kneel in the courtyard for an hour at noon every day."

Biya was only a second-class maid and couldn't enter the main room, so she didn't know much, and it wasn't completely true.

Chu Qianchen nodded slightly, noncommittal, and then she put the needle bag into her arms.

"Girl, are we going out?" Amber remembered that the girl said that today she was going to give a follow-up consultation to Mr. Yun who had his throat cut.

"Go to Jishi Hall." Chu Qianchen said as he walked out, thinking to himself: I wonder if I can see the prince today.

Hu Hue was already used to her daughter running away all the time. The master and servant left the Hou Mansion through the east corner door in a familiar manner.

The streets of the capital were noisy as usual. Amber was a little distracted and looked at Chu Qianchen from time to time.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask: "Girl, did you guess that today would be like this?"

Thinking of yesterday, when the girl said that she couldn't go to Zhuangzi today, Hu Bo felt that her girl was simply a fortune teller.

Meeting Amber's admiring gaze, Chu Qianchen curled his lips and smiled. The corners of his mouth behind the veil were raised high, and his phoenix eyes were bright and agile.

She nodded Hu Hu's forehead and said with a smile: "There are too many people involved in this matter. Big sister, let's not ignore it for now, especially Aunt Cui..."

Aunt Cui is Aunt Jiang's confidant and right-hand man, the person she trusts the most.

If this matter involves someone else, Aunt Jiang might cut off her arm and completely distance herself from it, but that won't work if it's done to Aunt Cui. Aunt Jiang will definitely try her best to save Aunt Cui.

"My aunt has always been favored. If she wants to protect Nanny Cui, she will definitely ask her father."

Chu Qianchen's smile was clear, but under the veil, her expression looked unpredictable, making it impossible for Amber to see what she was thinking.

Chu Qianchen spread his hands and said, "Look, it's that simple."

Where is the simplicity? ! Amber was confused, whether she understood or not.

"Father and mother are quarreling over Aunt Jiang. No matter what the outcome is, if mother leaves at this time, she will only be left behind." Chu Qianchen explained patiently and stopped.

Amber pursed her lips thoughtfully, vaguely understanding.
