The maid's head rested on the ground: "Madam, this slave is hesitant because he is not sure. Why don't we... Why don't we quietly take people to Tingtai Alley to have a look. The place is not big, so it is easy to find someone."
Zhen's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time to calm down. Her eyes were about to burst into flames: "Go, go now, you have to carry me over. I want to see how Qu Pengfei has been doing in the past few years." What kind of thing did you raise outside without telling me?"
She married into the Qu family and had no relationship with Qu Pengfei. It was just a marriage between the families to help each other.
But even though she had no love, she always adhered to her duties, gave birth to children for the Qu family, managed Zhongzhu, and never did anything that disgraced the family.
Qu Pengfei also treated her with respect and treated her as a guest, giving her the rights and dignity of a wife. He never favored any of his concubines, and none of his aunts dared to be disrespectful to her, so she lived a happy life.
Now someone told her that she had been deceived for so many years. It was not that Qu Pengfei did not favor his concubines, but that he kept the one he loved most outside.
She couldn't bear to let the outsider come into the house and be tortured, and she was raised as the head wife outside!
No wonder……
No wonder Qu Pengfei was knocked unconscious early this morning and was carried back, but when she came back she saw no one. It turned out that she had gone to another home.
Jiang Xinyue deliberately collided with the Zhen family at the entrance of the palace. The servants did not dare to collide with the imperial concubine's carriage, so they had to evade it. However, the carriage was bumped hard by the protruding stones several times, breaking the axle. .
Zhen's knee was already injured. When she got off the carriage, she was extremely anxious. She had to grovel to greet Jiang Xinyue, which made her even more anxious.
"Mrs. Qu, is there something urgent?"
Jiang Xinyue motioned to the person carrying the chariot to let her down: "It's my fault that my lady's carriage was broken. If Madam is in an emergency, it's better to take my chariot. I asked them to take you there. Madam's knees If you are injured, please don’t make it worse because of me, it will be my fault.”
She said it sincerely, and even took the initiative to get up from the chariot. Zhen was in a hurry to catch the traitor, so she didn't think about it so much. After thanking her, she got on the chariot.
However, when the concubine traveled on the chariot, she was surrounded by eunuchs and maids. Shuangjiang and Xiao Xiangzi said they had to command these little eunuchs who carried the chariot, so they also went out together.
Shuangjiang kept talking all the way: "Mrs. Qu, have you also heard about what happened to the Qu family in Tingtai Lane? In fact, our queen has also heard about it. She didn't want to see your joke. She is here today. I just want to remind you, but because you are in such a hurry, our queen guessed it, and we were afraid that you would be bullied if you went quietly, so we waited here on purpose, hoping that the slaves would protect you."
The servants brought out from the Qu family were basically still named Qu. When the male and female masters started fighting, they might end up helping the male master.
It's different now. The people carrying the chariot are all the imperial concubine's people. Even the maids and eunuchs who are needed around her are here. Qu Pengfei has to think carefully about making trouble.
"Our empress is very grateful that Mrs. Qu saw something was wrong with the third girl of our Jiang family that day, but didn't tell anyone. So when she first heard about the uncle's incident, she wanted to go to Tingtai Lane to get someone, but she was afraid that the matter would become a big deal. Madam will be sad if she knows."
"Our lady also said that the Zhen family is also a prestigious person in Qinzhou, no worse than the Qu family. If the eldest man behaves inappropriately, the madam does not need to be aggrieved or make trouble with him. Think about how to control the old man and let Mr. Qu come forward. It’s serious to rescue Saburo.”
Zhen's mind was in a mess at the moment, but Shuang Jiang's words were still ringing into her ears every word: "Actually, it's all the fault of the Pei family. If he hadn't wanted to plot against our Jiang family girl, the Emperor wouldn't have accompanied him. Our queen went to find someone, but our third daughter was not here, which caused misfortune to Sanlang of your family. Yesterday, our queen wanted to say some justice for Sanlang, but the officials from the Pei family detained a harem official for our queen. The accusation scared her so much that she didn’t dare to say anything more.”
It turned out that the imperial concubine had helped her, but the Pei family had gone too far. Just because the Qu family had a concubine and a third prince in the palace, they wanted to kill her son?
Which prince the Pei family wants to promote can be known with just a toe.
The third prince has Concubine De as his mother-in-law and Duke Cheng as his maternal ancestor. The Qu family is also the third prince's backer. His status is unquestionable and there is no need for the Pei family to interfere.
The fourth prince is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and has basically lost the possibility of ascending to the throne.
The sixth prince also has the imperial concubine, his mother-in-law, who is deeply loved by the emperor. It is only a matter of time before the Jiang family becomes a famous family.
Only the fifth prince...
The fifth prince had a bad fate. His biological mother was removed and the son was left behind. He was finally raised under the name of the queen. As a result, the queen also passed away and was finally sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb.
If the Pei family wants to support the prince to ascend to the throne, the fifth prince who has no foundation and no favor is the best choice.
Then let him kill the third prince!
What does it mean to have sex with her son?
While thinking about it, Tingtai Alley has arrived.
Qu Pengfei originally decided to keep his wife here because it was secluded enough and the staff were simple. Since there was no shortage of money, the house occupied a large area and only four or five families lived in it.
This made it easier for Zhen to inquire. After only asking one house, they pointed out that the house at the end of the road was Quzhai.
Madam Zhen did not knock on the door, but walked down with the help of the maid and waited at the corner.
After a while, the door of Nagqu House opened, and two eight or nine-year-old children ran out of it. They were two boys.
"Mom, hurry up. Dad said the newly opened wonton shop in the city is delicious. If you get there late, you won't be able to get a seat!"
"Brother, you are so greedy. Mom, please walk slower, you still have a sister in your belly!"
Another woman in apricot-colored clothes walked out from the door. The woman had dark eyebrows, a slightly raised nose, and a smile on her lips of a good size. Her passionate eyes were as gentle as water.
She was very good-looking, with a bookish air about her, like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She caressed her swollen belly softly and looked at the two children, smiling so beautifully.
"Look, madam!"
Qu Pengfei came out last.
He walked out quickly and held the woman's hand: "Madam, wait for me."
Someone from several households around came out and greeted their family with a smile: "Langjun Qu took his wife and young master out to eat delicious food again! Can you bring us a portion? I will pay for it."
The two children in front answered: "I will help you bring it and bring it to Sister Xiao to eat."
Zhen could no longer hold back, tears welled up in her eyes. Regardless of the pain in her knees, she staggered out and asked sternly: "She is your wife, then who am I?"
