When everyone arrived, they saw Pei Yi's strange behavior, and Aunt Bao immediately yelled, "What are you doing? Let my son go!"
She was about to go forward to pull Pei Yi like crazy, but was stopped by Xie Zhichan, who yelled at her: "Can't you see you are saving people? If you don't want your son to die, you'd better be quiet!"
Aunt Bao was stunned by Xie Zhichan's yell, but she calmed down a little when she heard the word "save people".
Everyone was waiting anxiously.
After waiting for a while, they heard the eldest brother of the Zheng family coughing. Everyone looked and saw that he had opened his eyes.
The eldest son of the Zheng family escaped death, but was terrified. When he saw his mother beside him, he immediately burst into tears.
As soon as Pei Yi stood up, Aunt Bao rushed over, hugged her son and cried, "Brother, tell me, who pushed you into the water? I will never let her go!"
The eldest brother of the Zheng family looked at the people in the crowd and saw the eldest sister of the Zheng family standing next to Pei Jingshu, so he pointed at her and said, "It was the eldest sister who pushed me down."
His twin sister was also in the crowd. She was on the shore when her brother fell into the water.
After hearing what his brother said, he cried, "Wow, it was my elder sister who pushed my brother into the water."
When Zheng Miaoer heard the two people's accusations, her eyes widened in shock. Her face, which was already pale due to illness, became even paler. She hurriedly explained, "I didn't! I didn't push him. He wanted to push me into the water. I moved aside, but he didn't stand firmly and fell in!"
Feeling her mother tighten her grip on her hand, she looked up and said to her mother, "Mom, it really wasn't me who pushed. Please believe me."
Pei Jingshu felt Zheng Miao's grievance and helplessness. She believed in her daughter in her heart that Miaomiao would definitely not be someone who would be so bold as to push her brother into trouble.
Then she squatted down, looked at Zheng Miao and said, "Miao Miao, mother believes in you. Those who are innocent will be innocent. Don't be afraid."
After that, she stood up again, glanced at Aunt Bao and her two children, and said to Madam Zheng, "Mother, you can't listen to the child's one-sided words. Since Miaomiao said she didn't push, I believe her. As for why the eldest brother and the second sister said it was Miaomiao who pushed, I think you should ask Aunt Bao."
Such a young child actually learned to lie——
Aunt Bao's eyes flashed with panic, which disappeared in an instant. She cried to Pei Jingshu, "Sister, what are you talking about? My elder brother and second sister are so young, could they lie?"
After hearing this, Old Madam Zheng thought it made sense. A child of a few years old slandered his own sister and tried to kill her. The Zheng family would never raise such a grandchild.
He immediately ordered the maid beside him, "Take the young lady to the ancestral hall and have her kneel before the ancestors to reflect on her mistakes. When she admits her mistakes, she can get up."
Pei Jingshu stood in front of Zheng Miao to stop him, looking at the maids coldly: "Let's see who dares."
At this moment, Zheng Yan, who heard that his son fell into the water, also rushed over. He rushed into the crowd and began to ask about his son's situation. Then he heard Aunt Bao crying and saying that it was the eldest sister who pushed the eldest brother into the water.
However, he did not notice Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan who had been pushed out of the crowd by the onlookers.
After making sure his son was okay, he stood up, looked at Pei Jingshu with some disgust, and glared at the little girl behind her.
"Zheng Miao, do you want to stand up on your own, or do you want me to pull you out?"
Zheng Miao shrank behind Pei Jingshu.
Pei Jingshu felt sad in her heart, but she was also full of courage. She held her daughter's hand, bit her lip, and stared at Zheng Yan, refusing to move away.
Zheng Yan took two steps closer to Pei Jingshu.
The people around only heard the sound of a slap, and everyone was silent for a moment.
Pei Jingshu's head tilted to one side and she was slapped in the face.
However, Zheng Miao broke free from Pei Jingshu's hand, rushed out from behind her, rushed towards Zheng Yan, and started punching and kicking him.
"I'll kick you, you bad guy, and let you beat my mother! I'll let you beat my mother! You bad guy!"
Aunt Bao was watching all this with a smile on her face.
Pei Yi never expected that his elder sister would be beaten in Zheng's house. He was so angry that he wanted to rush over like a shrew and fight with Zheng Yan.
Xie Zhichan knew what he was thinking and whispered in his ear, "Leave it to me."
After saying that, he flew into the center of the crowd.
Just as Zheng Yan grabbed Zheng Miao and slapped him, a huge force grabbed his hand and almost crushed his bones.
Zheng Yan had no choice but to let go of Zheng Miao immediately. He stared at the young woman who suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you? How dare you stop me from disciplining my daughter?"
Xie Zhichan took Zheng Miao in his arms, stepped back and stood beside Pei Jingshu, looked at Zheng Yan with disdain, and said, "I'm just a passerby who doesn't like the way your family is doing things. You're a grown man, but you not only beat your wife but also your daughter. What kind of man are you?"
Turning around, he said loudly to Pei Jingshu: "Big sister, listen to my advice. Men who commit domestic violence are not good. Once there is a first time, there will be countless times."
He glanced at Aunt Bao coldly again, with the same look of disdain as when he looked at Zheng Yan.
She said to Pei Jingshu with a hint of meaning: "You should leave this kind of 'blessing' to those who like to enjoy it. After all, people call themselves 'Mrs. Zheng' when they go out."
Pei Jingshu looked at her and nodded solemnly: "Well, I'll listen to your advice."
Xie Zhichan felt much more at ease. Her elder sister had decided to fight to the death, so she didn't have to be restrained in helping.
Aunt Bao suddenly said in a veiled tone, "Master, this person is the wife of the owner of Die Lian Zan. I don't know when she met you. You have been pretending not to know the owner of Die Lian Zan. Every time I go shopping, there is no discount at all. It is obvious that you are not loyal to our Zheng family."
After hearing this, Madam Zheng said to Zheng Yan, "I told you at the beginning that there was no need to try to get close to this marriage, but you didn't listen to me and married a hen that can't lay eggs. Not only that, but you are also a traitor."
Zheng Yan frowned. His mother didn't know about the things going on in the court. He was only a third-class Jinshi. Even if he was transferred to a rich place like Jingzhou, it would not have been his turn. Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion refused to say a word for him at first, the Ministry of Personnel did not transfer him to a cold and bitter place to suffer for the sake of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Now that he is being transferred back to Beijing to serve as an official there, he will inevitably have to rely on the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Therefore, he did not comment on what his mother said.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhichan then scolded Madam Zheng, "Madam Zheng, you are so arrogant. How come a legitimate daughter of Prince Yan's Mansion, a real royal branch and jade leaf, becomes a hen in your house? Is your Zheng family a chicken coop? You only raise chickens that can only chirp and squeaking!"
Pei Jingshu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She felt that even Yi Ge'er might not be able to win an argument with his sister-in-law, so his brother had finally met his match.
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Madam Zheng and Zheng Yan's faces sank. Both mother and son's expressions made people stay away from them; one was mean and the other was cruel.
Zheng Yan immediately shouted angrily: "Come here, drive this ignorant crazy woman out of the house."
Suddenly, a lot of servants came rushing around. The ladies around did not want to be squeezed with these servants, so they quickly made way.
At this moment, Pei Yi walked out from behind the crowd and stared at Zheng Yan coldly: "Let's see who dares to touch my Crown Prince's Consort!"
