The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Aunt Lan and Shen Jing also heard the sound and came out.

Shen Baozhao and Aunt Lan looked at each other and nodded.

Aunt Lan gave Shen Jing some instructions and hurried to the west wing of Yuqing Garden.

Shen Baozhao also left Jinghaozhai and leisurely returned to Zhaoming Garden. He immediately sent Luoxia out to inquire.

The commotion in the eldest house was so loud that it alarmed Rongde Hall and they even called in a doctor.

From the information Luoxia had found out, it was probably the aunt of the Loyalty Earl's Mansion who came to visit the eldest wife first. The two were talking in the room when the eldest master came back angrily.

Without giving any explanation, she started to criticize the first wife. My aunt was trying to mediate the quarrel. Seeing her, the first master became even angrier and started to fight.

I couldn't find out who was injured or what the situation was. The doctor was still seeing patients.

The old lady ordered that everyone should return to their own courtyards and not ask around.

Shen Baozhao didn't know what happened. In his previous life, Shen Jing was married off blindly and didn't see any trouble in the Marquis' Mansion. This incident happened suddenly, so it must be related to the recent events in the Marquis' Mansion.

Then it must be related to Shen Jing's marriage. It seems that there is something hidden in this marriage.

The House of the Earl of Loyalty? Could it be that the reason why the eldest wife was so anxious to marry Shen Jing off was related to the House of the Earl of Loyalty?

Shen Baozhao couldn't help but guess that if he wanted to know the truth, he could only wait for news from Aunt Lan.

When Aunt Lan arrived at the main room of the eldest house, she saw broken porcelain pieces all over the floor and tea leaves and tea spilled all over the floor.

The eldest lady and the aunt's wife both fell to the ground, and the aunt's wife's head and face were covered in blood. The scene was so horrified that Aunt Lan was speechless.

When Nanny Wang, who was beside the eldest lady, saw this, she immediately asked someone to call a doctor and sent the maids to report to the old lady immediately.

Aunt Lan bravely stepped forward to check the wife of the Loyalty Earl's breath. Fortunately, she was still alive. She couldn't help but pat her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw the master standing aside with his hands hanging, at a loss.

She didn't know what to do at the moment, and couldn't help with other things, so she had to take the master to the west wing to change into fresh clothes.

At this moment, the master came back to his senses. He said to Aunt Lan: "Mrs. Lan, I killed someone. I killed the wife of Earl Zhongyi."

Aunt Lan stepped forward and held the master's hand, constantly comforting him, "Master, it's okay. The wife of the Earl of Zhongyi is not in danger of death."

At this time, the servant of the eldest master in the outer room reported: "Master, the old lady asks you to go to the main room. The eldest wife is not seriously injured, but she is still unconscious. The aunt's wife also has external injuries, which look serious but not life-threatening."

When the master heard that the old lady was in the main room, he felt relieved and walked out without hesitation.

Aunt Lan thought about it and followed.

The maids and servants in the corridor all stood side by side with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. The atmosphere was very cold. Aunt Lan had no choice but to wait in the corridor.

The master lifted the curtain and entered the room, only to see the old lady sitting upright on a rocking chair. The doctor beside her was explaining the prescription and the time to boil the medicine to the maids in detail.

After the doctor left, the old lady dismissed her attendants, leaving only Nanny Lin and Nanny Wang, the personal wet nurse of the first lady Wang.

"Tell me, what's going on?" the old lady asked disappointedly.

There have been a lot of things going wrong at home recently. The second daughter's marriage was not going well, and the third daughter's marriage was not going well. Although she was favored by the noble, she felt uneasy as long as the imperial decree was not issued.

After paying respects this morning, the old lady's forehead veins throbbed, and her heart felt unexplainably flustered. So she went to the small Buddhist temple early to worship Buddha.

He had not read half of the scripture when the little maid hurriedly came to the eldest room.

The old lady was so frightened by this sight that she almost dropped her cane, and she only came to her senses now.

The eldest master answered the old lady's question very respectfully: "Madam, it was my son who accidentally injured the wife of the Earl of Loyalty."

Pursing his lips, he continued with a surprised look, "But this is what they deserve."

"It was Wang, who teamed up with her sister-in-law from her natal family to use Jing'er to fill the hole in the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion."

The old lady perked up when she heard this. She didn't know what was going on.

"Boss, what do you mean? Tell me in detail."

The eldest master then told the old lady in detail how he went to the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to cancel the engagement today, how he was told that the prince of the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion owed a debt and could not repay it, and how he had to use his own concubine's daughter to pay off the debt owed by the Wu'an Marquis.

After hearing what the master said, the old lady was furious. She kept slapping the coffee table with her hands, shouting, "What a sin, what a sin."

Wang has been in charge of the family for these years. As the status of the concubine in the palace continues to rise, Wang's mind has also become more sophisticated.

She actually dared to use the girl from Ning'an Marquis's Mansion to fill the hole in her Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion.

"Mother, I will divorce her no matter what this time. She is the head of the household in the Marquis's mansion, but she is so treacherous.

Since the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion is more important to her, let her go back there." The eldest master said angrily.

Wang had just woken up from her coma when she heard what the master said. She immediately stood up and walked to the front of the hall, ignoring Nanny Wang's dissuasion.

Pointing at the master's nose, she said, "How dare you! I gave birth to three promising children for you. If you divorce me, let's see if the Concubine Shu can let you go."

"You want to divorce me for that vixen in the west wing and the two bastards she gave birth to?

Don't you think about whether Yan'er, the wife of the Duke of Lu, can have a divorced mother? Qinghe Cui Shi has no reason not to marry her daughter off."

"Are you going to trample all the legitimate children into the mud just for a concubine?"

Wang said this with confidence. Indeed, Wang's biggest support was not the Loyalty Earl's Mansion, but her three children.

Even if the eldest master is confused, the old master and the old lady will never allow him to divorce his wife.

The eldest lady was hysterical when she said these words, and Aunt Lan, who was sitting outside the curtain in the corridor, heard everything clearly.

Aunt Lan clenched her teeth tightly, lowered her head, and stood outside the corridor with the servants in a proper manner. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

After hearing what Wang said, the master felt as if all his strength had been drained away and he fell into his chair.

Although the old lady did not allow the eldest master to divorce his wife, she could not stand Wang's arrogance.

He threw the sweet white glazed teacup at Wang, soaking her with tea leaves.

"Kneel down," the old lady scolded.

Wang was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

"Yes, whether it's for Concubine Shu, Yan'er, or Erlang, the Marquis' Mansion cannot divorce you.

However, the Marquis's Mansion can set aside a small courtyard for you to meditate and worship Buddha. This will also save the three children's face. What do you think?"

The older you are, the wiser you are. The old lady's words were a heavy blow to Wang.

Wang stammered and could not utter any more words.

"Madam, something bad has happened. Someone from the Earl of Loyalty's residence has come to look for my aunt." The servant in the outer courtyard outside the house shouted anxiously.
