"Xiao Ming is young and somehow managed to gain Madam's attention, so she has been treating Madam. A few days ago, I was not feeling well and I asked people to invite her, but she refused. The day before yesterday, she came into the house to diagnose Madam. After he got sick, he suddenly gave the medicine to Brother Xuan." Aunt Yan glanced at Xu angrily, and her words were reasonable and well-founded, which made people have to doubt Xiao Ming's motive for giving the medicine. Please, you didn’t come, but you gave me the medicine when you met Mrs. Xu. It’s not impossible that you did so with Mrs. Xu’s instruction. This thing seems very simple and clear. How could Mrs. Xu ask Xiao Ming to give the medicine so obviously? Something like that, but it happened that Xiao Ming gave the medicine after meeting Xu. Do you think this is strange? Even if there is no suspect in the Xu family, everyone will not believe it?
So in Aunt Yan's opinion, Mrs. Xu wanted to harm her and Brother Xuan.
Peng Youqin's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Mrs. Xu with an unkind look, and his already bad mood became even worse.
Mrs. Xu knew that the master was going to doubt her, so she suddenly threw the tea cup heavily on the table and looked at Aunt Yan with a sullen face: "Aunt Yan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. The concubine will bite the mistress. Do you know what the consequences will be.", "I know you are dissatisfied with me. I took away your right to run the house, and because of the rules in the house, I forced you to wake up at dawn and dusk every day. You have been resentful of me for a long time. Thinking like this, Brother Xuan is the master’s only child. My baby is not in a hurry, so how can I be willing to harm him?”
Mrs. Xu has been living in a corner for these years and has not fought with others, but she is a member of our family. She has never seen a pig running away or eaten pork.
Aunt Yan was afraid that she would make a mistake if she tried to kill two birds with one stone.
Aunt Yan suddenly knelt down and said to Mrs. Xu: "The slave family has worked hard to manage the government affairs and give birth to children for the master these years. I know that madam, you hate the slave family in your heart. The slave family does not ask for your forgiveness, only to let you go." Brother Xuan, the slave family is willing to stay with Qingdeng for the rest of their lives, chanting sutras and Buddhas for the master and his wife to keep her safe." "Madam, you are going to have a child of your own soon, please let Madam let Brother Xuan go, he is still a poor child. ." Aunt Yan lowered her head and cried, pitiful and pitiful, as if she would keep kneeling if Mrs. Xu didn't agree, and revealed that Mrs. Xu was pregnant.
No matter if you have it or not, in my heart you do, and I want to let everyone know that you have a son of your own and you can’t tolerate a bastard.
Aunt Yan felt proud. As long as today was over, everyone in Pingcheng would know that Mrs. Xu, the prefect's wife, was a vicious woman who could not tolerate others.
Peng Youqin was shocked, looked at Mrs. Xu in disbelief, and asked blankly: "Do you have a child?"
His legitimate wife, who had not been pregnant for ten years, was actually pregnant. This was as shocking as being named on the gold medal list. This was his legitimate son.
Mrs. Xu's heart trembled, and she looked at Aunt Yan with sharp eyes. She didn't understand why she knew about her pregnancy, but she also understood that this was not the time to pursue the matter, so she could only smile and look displeased. He explained with a smile: "I have always been in poor health. I have not been able to give you a son and a half for these years. It is really my fault. I have been taking good care of my body over the years. I have not been able to give birth to a baby this month." When the time came, I invited Xiao Ming to take a look. Unfortunately, the month was too light and she couldn’t see the reason, and she didn’t dare to tell whether it was there. I was worried because my life had been unstable. The reason is that I don’t dare to tell the master and let him enjoy it in vain, and I don’t know which slave bit the tongue and spread the rumors so that my aunt believed me and misunderstood that I wanted to harm Brother Xuan.”
She must punish such a slave severely.
Mrs. Xu turned back to look at Peng Youqin, "Master, the slaves don't understand the rules so much. How can they spread rumors about Wuying? Everything about Wuying has been spread by everyone. It would be okay if it is confirmed two months later. , if not, how can I live?"
"Who is Brother Xuan? He is the treasure of our family. I like him very much on weekdays. If I have any good gadgets or food, I will cling to him first. How could I harm him?"
Mrs. Xu actually wiped her tears with her handkerchief as she said this. She must not have such a reputation of abusing a bastard.
Peng Youqin nodded, thinking that Mrs. Xu was right. It was really not good for people to spread rumors like this. However, he must have a doctor come to diagnose and treat her in two months. It would be a great blessing if it really happened.
"Master," Aunt Yan cried out sadly, kneeling on the ground and looking at her master pitifully. She was worried that he would forget about his mistress' murder of her bastard son.
"Ahem." Peng Youqin interrupted Aunt Yan, who was about to speak, "You get up first and then talk. Since it was Xiao Ming who gave me the medicine, I sent Xiao Ming in for questioning and asked her to take a look at Brother Xuan." ."It is difficult for an upright official to settle household matters. These two women each hold their own opinions. If they continue to argue, it will be dark."
He thinks that noisy arguments will not lead to any results. Everything depends on human evidence and physical evidence; whoever is right and wrong can take a break. The most important thing at this time is his son. If he can wait, his son is still on the bed. I couldn't wait while lying down.
Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed and echoed: "Master, what you said makes sense, I have already asked someone to invite her." While speaking, she did not forget to glance at Aunt Yan provocatively.
Peng Youqin nodded without comment.
The master made the decision, and Aunt Yan had to stand up in frustration. She was about to go crazy. According to her plan, Brother Xuan was ill, and the master punished Xiao Ming in anger. She was pulling out the mastermind Xu, and let her Now that the master is disgusted with Mrs. Xu's jealousy and viciousness, she can take back the power of the family in a fair and just manner.
As for Xiao Ming's life and death, what does it have to do with her?
But in the end, Xiao Ming was not punished, and Mrs. Xu was not rejected by the master. She did not expect such a result.
Aunt Yan felt that her low-pitched anger could no longer be suppressed.
What was her purpose for going to such trouble?
Don't be afraid, I haven't had the last laugh yet, I still have the most important thing. With this thing in hand, Xiao Ming will definitely be punished, and the Xu family will not be able to escape the involvement.
Aunt Yan had her own wishful thinking, but she didn't know that her biggest supporter, Mr. Peng Zhifu, had already surrendered to the city.
Therefore, after Peng Youqin deliberately spoke to Mrs. Xu, Xiao Ming had the opportunity to diagnose the eldest son's pulse, and at the same time, he had the opportunity to confront the mistress, Aunt Yan.
When Xiao Ming came over carrying the medicine box, the three people in the room had stopped arguing. When Xiao Ming entered the room, she attracted all the attention of the three people. Peng Youqin had a searching expression on his face, and Mrs. Xu nodded to Xiao Ming. Her smile conveyed her goodwill, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Aunt Yan's teeth were cracking.
"Give my son his life, you murderer." Aunt Yan's eyes were red as she screamed and rushed towards Xiao Ming.
