When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The servant of the Shangshu Mansion came back soon. The Shangshu's wife was very unhappy because she didn't see her sister. The servant said tremblingly:

"I didn't even go into my cousin's house. They wouldn't let me in and told me not to associate with anyone in the Shangshu Mansion. The two families severed their relationship."

The Shangshu's wife snorted and said:

"It's as if no one wants to associate with them, otherwise..." If Jingzhao Yin hadn't been investigating closely, she would not have been willing to associate with her sister's family who had no future.

However, this situation is not easy to handle now.

The nanny behind the lady sighed and said, "Madam, we are a couple who are very close and distant. It has come to this. It is better to consult the master."

Seeing the Shangshu's wife frowning and looking reluctant, the nanny advised:

"No matter what, you are a family. You should discuss things with each other. But Madam, you should be gentle when talking to the master. Don't start a quarrel right away, okay?"

This nanny is her wet nurse. It was this nanny who grew up with her when she was a child. Only this nanny can she hear a little bit of what she says.

Although she was reluctant, she knew that now was not the time to be willful, so she had to go to the master's study with the nanny.

The Shangshu's attendant saw the Madam coming from afar and immediately became alert. The master had been greatly angered by her before, so why was she coming again?

Not daring to stop him, he could only bow respectfully and say, "Greetings to the Madam."

Nanny smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, the Madam wants to discuss something with the Master. Can you go and inform him?"

Follower Xiao Feng squeezed out a word through his teeth in embarrassment: "Mammy, the master said that he doesn't want to see the lady these days."

The Shangshu's wife's eyes widened and she shouted, "What did you say?"

The nanny quickly grabbed the lady who was about to run away and discussed with Xiaofeng: "This time we really have something important to do and we can't delay. Tell the master again."

Xiao Feng had no choice but to go in along the side of the door. He talked to the master for a long time before he agreed to let the lady in. The Shangshu's wife was so angry that she was fuming, but she was suppressed by the nanny's eyes.

After entering the study, Minister Chen asked, "What do you want?"

You see, he said something that made people angry the moment he opened his mouth. What was that? The Shangshu's wife endured it again and again and did not quarrel with him. She said:

"Did you know that the Jingzhao Yin came today to question your son?" The questioning tone had become a habit for the two of them to talk.

Minister Chen didn't even raise his head and answered, "I know. If he wants to ask questions, then let him. What's the problem?"

The Shangshu's wife: "A small Jingzhao Yin came to your Shangshu Mansion to question you. He has such a great authority! Are you still going to ignore it?"

Minister Chen said indifferently, "He is doing his job impartially. Why should I interfere? Is there anything you are afraid of him asking?"

Madam Shangshu: ...

She didn't say anything, just looked at Minister Chen angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire.

Minister Chen was busy with his work and didn't even bother to look up at her. This indifference made her even more angry, and she immediately blurted out some harsh words. The nanny quickly interrupted her:

"Master, what the Madam means is that if the Jingzhao Yin came to our house to ask questions so openly, outsiders would think that some lawless person in our Shangshu Mansion had done something illegal.

"Master, this will affect the reputation of our mansion. Do you think you should warn him not to destroy the reputation of our Shangshu Mansion?"

Minister Chen finally stopped writing, looked up at his wife, then looked at the nanny, smiled and said:

"Does the Shangshu Mansion still have a good reputation? The Shangshu Mansion's wife is arrogant and domineering, and she beats servants to death at any time. The eldest son is greedy and lustful, and has ruined countless girls. Does he still remember clearly?"

Grandma:......

The Shangshu's wife sneered. Seeing that the situation was not good, the nanny quickly pulled the lady, not wanting her to speak and make things worse, but it was too late to stop her.

Madam Shangshu pushed aside the nanny who was blocking her way and said:

"My son and I are not good, but you are! You are so hypocritical, full of morality. Where did your illegitimate son come from? How come he is one year older than my son? Didn't you tell my parents before you got married that you would not have a marriage or concubines? Then he must have jumped out of a crack in the stone!"

Minister Chen actually listened calmly and did not quarrel with her as he did in the past.

He stood up, looked at the lady in front of him who looked unwilling, and said:

"This happened so many years ago, and you always bring it up to argue with me. We've been arguing for almost twenty years. Haven't you said enough? Are you here to argue with me again today?"

The nanny quickly pulled the cross-eyed lady away and said, "No, we're not arguing. We really have something to discuss."

Minister Chen sat down and didn't want to pay attention to them. He knew what she had done, and now she was anxious? It was a pity that he didn't want to care.

Seeing that Minister Chen looked as if it had nothing to do with her, the nanny could only continue to speak for the lady:

"Master, you and Madam are husband and wife, you share the same fate. Madam is impulsive and does things without considering the consequences, but husband and wife are one, so can't you just ignore it, Master?"

Minister Chen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What did Madam do?"

Nanny: ...Your wife has caused you a great disaster, but I dare not say it.

Seeing that the nanny was speechless, the Shangshu's wife got angry and confessed directly:

"There's nothing I can't say. That thug dared to poison my son, so I hired someone to kill him and avenge my son. There's nothing wrong with that, that's it."

Nanny: Madam, your words are really poisonous!

Minister Chen was so angry that he laughed and asked her, "Where was your son poisoned? What did he do to be poisoned?"

Your son ran to someone else's house and committed adultery with someone else's wife! Isn't it right to poison you?

Nanny: Lord Shangshu hits me sorely as soon as he opens his mouth. It would be strange if we don’t start a quarrel.

The Shangshu's wife really started to throw a tantrum:

"My son, isn't he your son? No matter where he was killed, as a mother, I must avenge him. Who made him have a father who doesn't care about his life or death?"

Minister Chen: "Since I don't care whether he lives or dies, why did you come to me?"

The Shangshu's wife said: "I don't want to come. The worst that can happen is that I will be arrested by Jingzhao Yin. I don't care. This is exactly what you want! You have disliked us for a long time."

Mammy: It’s over. The more we talk, the worse it gets. It’s all over.

Minister Chen: "Then just go ahead. The door is over there. Good bye!"

The Shangshu's chest was heaving with anger. She suddenly reached out, grabbed all the documents and books on the table in the study, and swept them all to the ground with a strong swing.

Documents and books flew in the air and then scattered all over the floor. This sudden movement frightened the nanny so much that she shrank her neck. She looked at the Shangshu's wife in horror, not knowing how to respond.

Minister Chen was completely stunned. His face was filled with astonishment and anger, and then he became furious. His face turned ashen, and he pointed at his wife with trembling fingers, squeezing out a word between his teeth:

"roll!"
