Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

After the incident of burning Cihang Temple became public, Zhang had already explained to Pei Xiao that she had sent her wet nurse to Jingci Temple (later Cihang Temple) to visit Chen.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Liu had such a bad temper that she had an argument with Kundao from Cihang Temple, which triggered a series of incidents later.

The fundamental purpose was to deal with that slutty maid of the Chen family.

Speaking of Chen, it is easy to bring up the matter of Pei Jin's poisoning.

It has been kept secret for so long, and it seems that as long as Pei Jin's "impotence" is cured, the matter will be exposed.

Pei Xiao naturally didn't want the Zhang family to know and cause more trouble.

He gave Zhang a look and decided that she should speak first so that they could keep the same story.

Pei Xiao felt guilty, let alone Zhang.

After hearing Zhang Jinghong's words, her mind started working rapidly.

Just as he was about to answer, he heard a commotion coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"Please, sister, let me see my father and mother!" The little girl's pleading voice, which she tried to raise, came into my ears.

"The Lord and the Madam have already said they don't want to see you, why are you still here annoying others?" the maid scolded rudely.

"If my father and mother refuse to see me, I will kneel here forever!"

Zhang had already heard that the person outside was Rong Niang, the daughter of that bitch Chen Qingzhu.

Now there is no need to threaten Chen Qingzhu anymore, and Zhang naturally does not need to keep Rong Niang, the insignificant concubine's daughter, in mind anymore.

Ever since Chen Qingzhu was sent to Jingci Temple, she moved her to another place on the grounds that Yaoguang Courtyard was too crowded and she was afraid that Rongniang would feel wronged.

The main reason for all this commotion now is that a few days ago, Rong Niang heard that the entire Jingnan Marquis's Mansion was going to move back to the capital, so she came to Pei Xiao and Zhang to plead, hoping that they could take Chen Qingzhu to the capital with them.

In Pei Xiao's heart, Chen Qingzhu was the culprit who harmed Pei Jin, and he wished he could beat her to death.

He didn't kill Chen Qingzhu directly before leaving because the situation was not good and he would have a conflict with Cihang Temple again. How could he have the sympathy to take Chen Qingzhu back to the capital with him?

What's more, this trip is to be accompanied by Zhang Jinghong. If he brings Chen Qingzhu with him, Zhang Jinghong might accidentally discover that Pei Jin was poisoned. How could Pei Xiao change his mind just because of the pleading of a concubine's daughter?

After learning of Rong Niang's intention, Pei Xiao became annoyed and said he would never see her again.

This result was naturally exactly what Zhang wanted, and she was too lazy to pretend to be kind and virtuous to persuade Pei Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Rong Niang, the little concubine's daughter, who seemed docile and timid in the past, has become stubborn now and makes a fuss every day.

Pei Xiao was fed up with the shouting and kneeling, so he ordered her to be locked up in his residence and not allowed to come out. No one knew how she managed to sneak out again today.

However, the appearance of Rong Niang gave Zhang some inspiration.

She smiled and said:

"If you think about it, it's all because of the kid outside."

"Her aunt made a mistake, so I punished her to go to a small temple in the mountain village to practice. This child missed her aunt every day, and I couldn't bear it, so I planned to send someone to bring the concubine back. Who knew that after two months, the place was changed to Cihang Temple, and she said she didn't know there was such a aunt. My nanny was impatient and had an argument with the people in Cihang Temple."

Pei Xiao felt that her words had no loopholes, so he confirmed it:

"exactly."

Zhang looked very compassionate:

"Alas, it's pitiful. Every day she asks us to take her aunt to the capital. But now, we can't even protect ourselves, so how can we take care of her aunt?"

After listening to this, Zhang Jinghong finally dispelled his doubts.

It is very common for the wife to punish the concubine by sending her to a temple to practice Buddhism during backyard struggles.

When a concubine is expelled, her close relatives will naturally try their best to get her back.

So, it was because of such a small person that the conflict with Cihang Temple ended up happening, causing Jin'er to suffer from paralysis for several months in vain!

Thinking of this, he no longer had a good impression of the girl outside.

"How can the mistress' orders change overnight? Since the concubine has made a mistake, she should be allowed to stay in the temple to practice and repent."

"You must not lose the big picture for the sake of the small. If you cause a conflict with Cihang Temple because of that concubine, if you delay the treatment of Jin'er, it will be something that a mere concubine cannot afford!"

The Jingnan Earl and his wife quickly agreed.

Zhang Jinghong then smiled and said:

"I haven't told Brother Jin the good news yet. I'll go see him."

The Marquis of Jingnan and his wife naturally accompanied him.

As the three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw that the situation had changed again.

A young man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown, who looked about eight or nine years old, walked over with an angry look on his face and grabbed the thin little girl on the ground.

"You're going crazy again. You turned a deaf ear to your father and mother's orders!"

The delicate little girl tried hard to struggle out of his hand, but failed. She could only struggle while saying angrily:

"Let me go! It's your business if you don't want to plead for your aunt. I won't force you, and don't interfere with me!"

"It's so unbecoming to pull and pull!"

Pei Xiao frowned and reprimanded.

Pei Xuan quickly let go and greeted the three people politely.

"Father!"

"Mother!"

"uncle!"

Then he looked at Pei Xiao and Zhang with admiration and defended himself:

"Father and mother, I was just trying to persuade my sister not to be unreasonable. I didn't mean to be rude!"

These days, Pei Xuan has been very grateful that he was rejected by Cihang Temple and sent back to Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

Otherwise, he would probably be abandoned in Nandu by the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion like his useless biological mother.

Now, the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion is about to return to Beijing, and he is about to resume his former rich and free life.

The only worry was that this so-called sister, who was born in the same womb as him, was always clamoring to bring her biological mother back.

This will easily cause him to be hated by his parents, okay?

Especially my mother.

He didn't know before that his mother had a sister who was a favorite concubine in the palace and was very powerful.

After learning this, he became even more determined to be recorded as a legitimate son.

He had to let his mother know that he was only devoted to honoring her and didn't care at all about the woman who had only given birth to him.

Therefore, every time Rong Niang came to make trouble, he would scold her.

Rong Niang didn't care what her biological brother was thinking, nor did she have time to pay attention to those empty formalities.

Seeing her father's sharp eyes on her, she was afraid that she would be dragged back again, so she quickly suppressed her fear and said loudly:

"Father! If you don't want to take my aunt back, I won't force you! Now I just ask you to send me to that temple. I am willing to practice with my aunt!"

She had suffered repeated setbacks in recent days and had realized that there was no way her father would bring her aunt back to Beijing.

Seeing that her stepmother was so favored, she did not dare to defend herself, and said that her aunt was sent to the temple to practice Buddhism just because she had a headache and was negligent in serving her.

Now, the only thing she wants is to be with her aunt.

Even if it means leaving the Earl's house and living a hard life outside, I would not hesitate.

Before Pei Xiao could say anything, Pei Xuan became anxious.

"Father, as the daughter of an uncle, whose parents are still alive, how could she live in a temple or a Taoist temple? If this gets out, people will criticize the uncle's family!"

Not that he cared much about this brainless little girl who only caused him trouble.

Rather, he is closest to this sister in terms of blood relationship, and this sister is obviously a beauty. If she grows up and marries into a wealthy family, she will definitely be a help to him.

If we allow her to go to a Taoist temple, and if she loses her reputation or impairs her looks, her future value will be greatly reduced.

Pei Xiao obviously agreed with Pei Xuan's words. He gave him an approving look and scolded Rong Niang:

"Didn't you hear what your second brother said? Go back to your own yard!"

As he said this, he impatiently ordered the maidservants beside him, "What are you standing there for? Drag her back and tell the people in her room. If she runs out again, each of you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!"

Rong Niang cried and struggled and was taken back to her own residence.

Zhang Jinghong and the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife continued to visit Pei Jin.

When Pei Jin heard the good news from Zhang Jinghong, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he was ecstatic.

He finally stopped feeling lifeless and began to look forward to going to Cihang Temple for treatment.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Jinghong also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the departure date was not far away, he no longer cared about whether he could remain calm or not, and directly sent someone to urge Master Qiao.
