Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

In the Jingnan Marquis Mansion that Huiyun was worried about, Zhang had just woken up a few days ago.

She was too harsh on herself this time, she lost too much blood, and she was very weak.

Although he woke up, he was not as energetic as before, and even his appearance looked much more haggard.

The wound on my wrist was still very painful. Although it had been stitched, I couldn't move it freely. I could only hang it around my neck with a piece of cloth as if I had a broken bone.

In her current condition, it was naturally impossible for her to keep Pei Xiao overnight.

Even if she wanted to, Pei Xiao had no interest in her when he saw her like this.

The many concubines in the backyard who have been well behaved for a long time, especially the younger ones, have dressed themselves up beautifully in the past few days.

She would either meet him by chance in the garden or go to the study to bring him soup and snacks, trying various ways to attract Pei Xiao's attention.

Pei Xiao was not a person who would put himself in a difficult position, so he went with the flow and picked someone who suited his taste to serve him.

Of course, he did not forget Zhang and would visit her every day.

I have to go to the military camp today and won't be back home for several days.

When he came out of his concubine's room in the morning, he came over to accompany Zhang for breakfast. He even fed Zhang a bowl of medicine with rare tenderness before leaving.

I don’t know what kind of medicinal ingredients were used in this tonic medicine, it tastes bitter, numb and sour.

In the past, Zhang would keep the medicine slightly warm and drink it in one gulp from the bowl.

Pei Xiao fed her spoonful by spoonful, which was undoubtedly a long torture for Zhang.

But even so, she didn't say a word to spoil the fun and finished the drink with a touched look on her face.

The bitter taste of the medicine was not only a physical torture, but what hurt her even more was the scent of makeup on Pei Xiao's body.

Even though it had faded after the bath, she could still smell it when she was so close to him just now.

She called Qingliu and asked:

"Who did the Marquis go to last night?"

Qingliu Road:

"It's Aunt Hong's place again."

It was Aunt Hong for three consecutive days.

Zhang gritted his teeth:

"She is indeed a bitch from a brothel!"

It's not really a brothel. This Madam Hong was a skinny horse sent by a humble official to her when she first came to Nando.

She was still a virgin when she followed Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao was not a maverick and knew how to blend in with others, so he did not refuse and brought the child back and asked Zhang to place him in the backyard.

"Madam, how about I teach her a lesson?"

Qingliu said flatteringly.

Zhang glanced at her unhappily:

"As soon as the Marquis left her room, you went to teach her a lesson. Do you want the Marquis to think that I am jealous and unvirtuous?"

Qingliu then realized that he had said something stupid.

Zhang waved her hand and asked her to leave.

Of course, the restless concubine needs to be dealt with, but there is no rush.

As the principal wife, as long as the Marquis still has her in his heart, no matter how these people try to win his favor, they cannot surpass her.

While the Marquis still liked them, she would never abuse her power as the principal wife to deal with them without a legitimate reason.

Otherwise, it would appear that she was bullying others by taking advantage of her power, and that her concubines were suffering from injustice, weakness and pity.

What she should consider more now is that she does not have enough staff around her.

In the past, she relied too much on Nanny Liu.

Now that Nanny Liu has gone to recuperate, she feels that there is no one around her except the stupid Qing Liu.

This won't do. She has to find two more servants who are useful and loyal.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Just as I was thinking about this, I heard a servant come to report:

"Madam, Madam Liu is back. She is outside asking for an audience."

Zhang frowned subconsciously.

At this time, Nanny Liu came here, it must be about He Wang's matter.

She had clearly instructed people to keep the matter secret from Madam Liu first. After He Wang was executed and the matter was a foregone conclusion, she told Madam Liu that she had tried her best but still could not save He Wang.

Incite her further and let her transfer her hatred to Cihang Temple and the people behind it.

At that time, Nanny Liu will have to rely on her for support in her old age, and she will have to serve her wholeheartedly as before.

Now that they have arrived early, it proves that the people in the other courtyard made a mistake in their work.

But now that things have come to this, avoiding it is not a solution.

"Ask her to come in."

Not long after, Nanny Liu appeared in front of Zhang.

After several days of rest, the injuries on her face were basically undetectable.

The only problem is his arm, which has been in a cast and sling for a hundred days after the injury.

The master and the servant, one with his left arm hanging and the other with his right arm hanging, looked very harmonious.

Zhang dismissed the attendants, and Nanny Liu immediately cried and begged her to save He Wang.

Zhang was very dissatisfied.

The selfish dog slave used to say that he was willing to go through fire and water for her.

Now, she has almost risked her life to clear up the rumors, but Aunt Liu not only didn't say a word of concern, but also insisted on saving He Wang.

If she was a loyal person, she shouldn't have mentioned this matter.

I thought so in my heart, but my face didn't show it at all:

"Mammy, He Wang is your only son. How can I just leave him alone? As soon as I woke up, I sent someone to the prison to make arrangements."

Nanny Liu's face lit up with joy.

Before I could thank you, I heard Zhang say:

"Unfortunately, the incident has become too serious. Now the eyes of the whole city are on it, and the government is unwilling to show any mercy."

The joy on Nanny Liu's face suddenly disappeared.

She had followed Zhang for many years, so how could she not know that with the status of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, it was not that difficult to rescue someone from prison.

Moreover, she was not asked to directly exonerate He Wang, but just to use money to replace the crime.

With Madam's intelligence, she would not fail to think of such a simple solution.

It didn't work. The only possibility is that she didn't do it at all.

When someone told her this morning that He Wang was imprisoned and sentenced to immediate execution, she became suspicious.

The people in the villa were so unanimous in hiding the truth from her, it could only be because of Madam's order.

Now she was finally completely sure that the lady had never thought of saving He Wang from the beginning to the end.

He Wang had obviously ended up in such a state just because he was doing things for his wife, but she had to watch He Wang die!

Madam Liu's heart was completely cold, and she even felt hatred.

Having served Zhang for many years, she understood how cruel Zhang was.

There was no way she would change her mind just because of her pleading.

In that case, there is no need to waste time.

"If the matter has not been done, it must be because the person who did it is not competent. Madam, why don't you give me the name card of the Marquis' Mansion and the money for the bribe, and I will go to the government office to find someone myself."

Hearing her firm tone, Zhang realized that pretending to be nice would not get rid of Madam Liu, so she simply stopped talking nonsense.

He said coldly:

"Mammy has never been an ungrateful person. I can let go of the foolish words she said today. But it's better to end this matter here, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!"

The window paper was completely broken, and Zhang did not give Liu Ma any hope.

Aunt Liu also completely broke off relations:

"Madam, He Wang is my only son. I will do anything to save him!"

"If my lady is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

In the ten years since she came to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion, Madam Liu has helped Zhang do many bad things, and she has a lot of leverage over Zhang.

Such direct words made Zhang both shocked and angry:

"How dare you threaten this lady?"

At this point, Madam Liu had nothing to hide:

"That's right. If He Wang dies, you won't have an easy life, Madam!"

A huge wave of emotions rose in Zhang's heart.

Nanny Liu was her trusted confidant who knew many of her secrets.

If she revealed all the things he had done for her in the past, the Marquis might even divorce her in a fit of rage.

"Mammy, you should know that those who dare to threaten me never have a good ending. If you can understand me, I can still pretend that this incident never happened and take good care of you until the end of your life."

"But if you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Aunt Liu was not afraid of her threats:

"Madam, do you think that this old slave would come here unprepared?"

Knowing Zhang's character well, she naturally had a backup plan before coming.

Zhang felt that these words were very familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't this exactly what that bitch Chen Qingzhu once said?

Madam Liu actually learned the methods of that bitch Chen Qingzhu to threaten her!

Zhang felt disgusted instantly, and at the same time, anger rose in her heart.

Aunt Liu is such a fool. She actually thought that she would be fooled by the same trick a second time!
