Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Pei Zheng had been feeling uneasy ever since he returned, and when he saw Ming Yi go out, he followed her as if possessed.

Seeing the injured person being held down, she assumed it was a maid who had committed a crime. "Mingyi, if someone has made a mistake, just send them away. Why make such a fuss?"

He didn't take it to heart, only saying it was inappropriate, without any intention of stopping him.

He even flinched in disgust when the maid lunged forward, yet his words were uttered with an air of high-sounding authority.

Seeing that he didn't recognize her, Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief and slapped him across the face. "You lowly servant, do you really think you can just throw yourself at your husband because he's kind-hearted? Look at yourself now!"

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the old women to pull the person away. When she turned to Pei Zheng, she quickly put on a smile, "Husband, why are you here too?"

Her smile was unnatural, and Pei Zheng, having known her for so long, could tell. He was just puzzled as to what she was doing.

Just as he glanced behind him, Mingyi grabbed his arm, her voice urgent:

"Husband, these are just some domestic matters, and they've been resolved. Why don't we go back together? It wouldn't be right to leave for so long after the welcome banquet for you." Mingyi tried her best to force a smile, but the man stared at her for a long time, making her smile a little stiff.

However, Pei Zheng didn't say anything more, nodded, and started to walk back.

He had only taken two steps when a heart-wrenching roar suddenly came from behind him: "My lord, A-Yin is dead..."

Huanyun broke free for a moment, and the cloth was pulled out of her mouth as she angrily spoke.

She was afraid that the old women would react and arrest her, so she didn't even cry for help, hoping that the Marquis would stop when he heard about A-Yin's situation.

Sure enough, she had barely uttered those few words when the old woman, realizing what was happening, gagged her.

Fortunately, the people in front did stop.

"Husband, don't listen to that vile servant's nonsense..."

Mingyi's words were cut off by the man's turning around. Her fists clenched tightly, and her red lips lost their color.

Does Pei Zheng really like that lowly maid so much? He can investigate even a single, seemingly inexplicable remark!

"Hurry up and drag that lowly servant away and beat her to death with sticks! How dare she speak nonsense in front of her master!" Mingyi's words were laced with ruthlessness.

She should have killed that maid long ago!

"Stop!" Pei Zheng stopped her impatiently. "Mingyi, what terrible crime has this maid committed that deserves to die? What's this 'Ayin' she's talking about?"

How could Ah Yin be dead? He clearly sent someone to deliver gifts before going to court...

—The delivery was made, but I didn't see Miss Ayin...

For some reason, Pei Zheng suddenly thought of the servant's stammering words, and felt increasingly uneasy.

Mingyi, stroking her belly, wept, "Is my husband going to make things difficult for me because of a maid?"

"Mingyi, what happened with what she said about Ayin dying?"

The two voices rang out at the same time. Mingyi knew she couldn't hide it for long, but she could stall for as long as possible.

She never said she wanted to burn that lowly maid to death; it was that stupid thing, Ah Ping, who did it, and then ran away out of fear!

This is none of her business.

Thinking of all this, Mingyi swayed and fell against Pei Zheng, muttering, "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."

In short, Pei Zheng was indeed too preoccupied to notice the maid turning to look at her.

Huanyun, who was being held down, was in despair. She didn't understand. The Marquis had clearly heard her words and was suspicious. So why couldn't he ask her or send someone to inquire? Were the lives of maids so lowly?

So lowly that she wasn't worth the attention, and even after sleeping with him for several days, he didn't recognize her!

Huanyun felt a sense of darkness ahead and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was it really worth it to climb into bed with a nameless mistress?

"Go and fetch the physician from the palace." After saying that, Pei Zheng picked up Mingyi and carried her to the nearest room. However, he was still anxious, so he simply added, "Bring that maid here."

The old woman holding Huanyun hesitated for a moment: "The county princess said she wants to sell the person."

Azhi also emphasized, "The county princess was so angered by this maid that she suffered a miscarriage..."

Pei Zheng didn't speak, but his calm face showed even more anger.

The women exchanged glances, none daring to move. This was the Marquis's residence, and the Marquis was in charge; they were working under the mistress...

Mingyi, who had been feigning unconsciousness, had no choice but to open her eyes and asked in a tearful voice, "What does Your Excellency mean by this? Do you think I have mistreated my servants?"

The servant who had delivered things to Liu Fuyin earlier came over, panting, "My lord, I went to investigate. People outside are saying that a house in the north alley caught fire and a pregnant girl died."

Upon hearing this, the old women holding the person loosened their grip, and Huanyun rushed to Pei Zheng's side in time, "My lord, I am Huanyun. The county princess burned Sister Ayin to death, and she even tried to kill me to silence me..."

Mingyi glared at the group with a dark expression, as if blaming them for not controlling the people properly.

"Burn to death...burn to death..." Pei Zheng murmured, repeating it several times in disbelief, almost dropping the person in his arms.

To be precise, if it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have fallen directly.

"Impossible, this is impossible..." Pei Zheng settled the person in the room and left the mansion in a hurry without waiting for the physician to arrive.

"Bam—"

A vase was thrown at Azhi. If she hadn't shifted her position, she would have been seriously injured.

She couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. She was born into a family and had been by the county princess's side since childhood. Even though the county princess preferred the later A-Ping, she didn't care. The county princess just had a bad temper, but she would never beat or scold the people around her. However, ever since the county princess got married, she seemed to have become a different person. Not only did she become more and more irritable, but she would also beat and scold them at the drop of a hat.

"How could he treat me like this? That vile maid actually framed me! It's A-Ping, it's A-Ping, go and bring A-Ping back!" Mingyi almost shouted these words.

Princess Minning, who had just arrived after hearing the news, saw her daughter's desperate cries and felt heartbroken.

"Why didn't you tell your mother sooner if you were so wronged?" Princess Minning was also furious and wished she could curse Pei Zheng out.

“Mother, Pei Zheng has betrayed me. Not only did he keep a mistress, but he also blamed me for it all. I was too proud to tell anyone, Mother…” Mingyi hugged Princess Minning and wept bitterly.

Thank you Lulu, who loves golden pancakes, for the health care gift! Sending you lots of love!

I've been feeling sleepy every day lately. I fell asleep halfway through writing this, my sins! It feels like this world is getting longer and longer, haha, and I haven't even started yet. All I can say for now is I'll try my best to update, because the sleepiness is real. I'm guilty, I'm sorry everyone.
