Thinking of that woman, the second lady finally cheered up. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yang San: "What... is that woman like?"
Yang San said cautiously: "When I saw that she was well-dressed, I thought it was the money spent by the second master, but later I inquired and found out that this woman seems to be a merchant girl with a lot of wealth."
"Business girl?"
The Second Madam gritted her teeth. Didn't Wei Shiyuan say that he cherished the arrogance and nobility of women from aristocratic families the most, and hated the smell of copper from small businessmen the most!
"Go, I'll keep an eye on the mother and son. If you see the second master gone, let me know!"
Yang San quickly bowed his head and excused himself: "I understand."
Zhao's mother sighed secretly. After all, the second lady still didn't believe that the second master had raised a woman outside and wanted to see it with her own eyes. Otherwise, now is the best time to control that woman.
If there is any further delay, the second master must be prepared.
"The rumors in this mansion..."
The second lady sneered: "Who else could it be besides that crazy woman from the third room!"
"Since Madam knows, why do you still let them spread the word?"
The second lady said bitterly: "If this matter is false, then the rumor will be self-defeating. But if it is true, my efforts to stop it will only increase the laughingstock! That child is four or five years old! I don't know anything about it." , I am still proud of myself every day, what is the difference between me and a fool..."
Mother Zhao sighed, "Ma'am, please arrange it earlier. The second door will be locked soon. If there is any news from Yang San, it won't be delivered until tomorrow morning."
Zhuoxiangyuan.
Before Li Qingyi went to bed, he called Changning Changlan in, "Can the second master go back to the backyard tonight?"
"I haven't come back yet. The second door has been locked now. The second master should be staying in the study in the front yard tonight."
Li Qingyi said: "You have skills and can do things conveniently in the house, so you can keep an eye on me. If the second master leaves the house in the middle of the night, you will keep an eye at the second door tomorrow morning. If there are servants who want to go to the second room, Report the news and find a way to stop it."
Changlan and Changning looked at each other: "Yes, girl."
On the second day, after breakfast in each room, they went to Heyan Hall to pay their respects to the old lady.
The second lady didn't wait until Yang San came to report the news, so she felt uneasy.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
When everyone heard the third lady's question, they all glanced at the second lady with hidden eyes.
The second lady smiled and said, "A crow came yesterday and screamed in front of my window. It disturbed me so much that I didn't sleep much all night."
The third lady gritted her teeth with a look on her face, she was clearly scolding her!
"I did see a magpie, and I felt very good early in the morning."
In fact, at this moment, many people in the house had the exact news, and their faces were filled with excitement when they heard the two talking.
Unexpectedly, the second master has been lying to the second lady!
What a great show!
Especially Princess Yuanheng, she, like the third lady, only feels relaxed and proud!
Let you show off everywhere!
If it’s not retribution, what is it!
The second lady was stared at by everyone, and no matter how calm she was, her face became ugly little by little.
Mrs. Wei frowned and looked at the Second Madam, feeling that she had gone too far.
She doesn't care if her son dotes on his wife, but if the daughter-in-law is jealous and can't even tolerate a concubine, then that's absolutely wrong.
Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? The second child has taken good care of her for so many years, which is already very good, but now he can't stand it if he only has an extramarital affair?
"Okay, if nothing happens, let's go back."
Mrs. Wei waved her hand, not wanting to see her daughters-in-law arguing.
Just when everyone was about to get up, the girl came in and reported: "Old madam, the second master has come into the house with a woman."
"What did you say!"
The second lady stood up suddenly and stared at the girl.
The girl was so frightened that she trembled all over and repeated in a low voice: "The second master has brought people into the house, and they are coming to He Yantang..."
This was because she was afraid that the second lady would do something behind her back, so she hurriedly led people across the open road, and even personally escorted the mother and son from the outer room into the house!
Everyone’s expressions were even more exciting than the fireworks set off during the Chinese New Year.
The second lady swayed and fell back into her chair.
In all the years she had been married into the Wei family, this was the first time she had lost her composure.
Mrs. Wei looked down on this behavior more and more, frowning and said: "What's all the fuss about! Nong Shao, go out and take a look."
"Yes, madam."
Nong Shao went out, and everyone who had just left sat firmly back on their chairs.
The second lady asked Mother Zhao in a low voice: "Why didn't Yang San come to deliver the letter this morning?"
If she had known the news in advance, she wouldn't have been able to deal with it at all, allowing that woman to enter the house so easily!
Mother Zhao didn't know either. She had been craning her neck to wait in the morning, but Yang San didn't come over to reply, "I'll ask someone to ask again."
When Nong Shao arrived at the door, he saw the second master holding a four or five-year-old baby in his arms. A step behind him was followed by a woman dressed as a woman.
The woman is well-dressed, unlike the ordinary outsiders who either wear gold and silver and flaunt their branches, or are as weak as willows that can be blown by a gust of wind. This woman acts and acts like a wife from a wealthy family, even compared to the second wife, she is no less generous.
But Nong Shao didn't dare to say these words.
"Second Master."
When Wei Shiyuan saw the eldest girl beside the old lady waiting here, he knew that his mother didn't have much objection to this matter.
He turned back to look at Wen Yuniang. Wen Yuniang reached out to take her son and said, "Ran'er and I are waiting here. If the old lady calls, it won't be too late for me to go in again."
Nong Shao was a little surprised that this woman was so sensible.
Wei Shiyuan was a little hesitant, as if he was afraid that she and her son would be wronged.
Wen Yuniang said: "I'm afraid the old lady and the madam have a lot to say. After all, I am an outsider and it's not appropriate to be here, so you can just go. I'm afraid the old lady will ask about me, please explain it carefully. Don't make her old man angry."
Wei Shiyuan nodded and entered Heyan Hall alone.
Everyone looked behind him curiously, but saw no one.
The old lady asked: "Didn't you say that you brought a mother and son into the house, why didn't you see anyone?"
Wei Shiyuan knelt in front of Mrs. Wei: "Yu Niang said that she did not dare to enter without being summoned by her mother, and she would wait outside first."
Mrs. Wei was a little surprised when she heard this, and then she showed a bit of satisfaction, "She does have rules."
Others had different expressions.
He secretly thought that this woman was not easy to handle.
The second lady almost broke her silver teeth.
Wei Shiyuan said: "Mom, my son has been hiding Yu Niang's matter. It is his fault. There is really another reason for this. Please don't blame me, mother."
"Any other reason?"
Wei Shiyuan nodded, turned to look at the second lady, and then said: "I have a deep love for Axiu and his wife, and I have no intention of taking a concubine. It's just that five years ago, when my son first took office at the Ministry of Industry, he was framed and had an affair with Yu Niang. After losing skin-to-skin contact, Jade Lady is innocent, and my son cannot see her losing her innocence and being cast aside by others!"
Originally, it was not honorable to secretly raise an adulterous wife and conceal a bastard's son, but with the second master's defense, he described himself as being affectionate and helpless.
This means that he is not just flirting with women, but is being plotted by others. Wen Yuniang is a good family son, and he cannot ignore her innocent suffering.
Mrs. Wei's first concern was naturally her son's safety: "Who framed you?"
Wei Shiyuan lowered his head, "My son is ashamed and has not found out."
Li Qingyi lowered his eyebrows and smiled. One of them had not been found out. Wasn't this just made up by him?
Originally, juniors should not be present for this kind of thing, but in order not to give the second lady time to react, the second master deliberately brought people here at the critical moment when everyone was gathering to pay their respects.
These juniors will have a "blessed eye" today.
