Chapter 1227

The aunts were chatting animatedly with each other.

"Now the young lady is most interested in the things on the couch!"

"She has no children and is young. She has never seen many men, so she naturally thinks that the Second Master is the best. Apart from anything else, the Second Master is quite caring in bed. That's all he is good at."

The "young lady" in everyone's mouth was the newest woman who was only a few years older than Shi Anxia. She was still a concubine, just waiting for her sisters to ignore the Second Master so that she could be favored, give birth to a son and a daughter, and get a concubine.

Now the principal wife in this mansion is vacant, and the young lady is still thinking that if she is favored and made the principal wife, wouldn't she be extremely rich and powerful?

Wu sneered, "It's just that the young lady has never seen the world!"

Wen said, "Still stupid!"

Zhou stopped pretending, "Second Master is stupid, but this young lady is even more stupid than Second Master!"

Qiu felt that every word of the concubines hit the nail on the head. "Sisters, if you want to talk like this... I have to speak out. The Second Master was brought up by the old lady. He served in the court. It was the old lady who used all her connections and spent a lot of money to get him into the Ministry of Rites."

She had just started talking, and before she got to the point, Zhou snatched it away and criticized her, "He has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he does nothing but drink and brag."

Wu lowered her voice and said, "I dare say that as long as Emperor Mingde is in power, there will be fewer and fewer treacherous officials, and the Second Master will have no place to stand even in the capital."

Mrs. Qiu rolled her eyes. "Second Master has no place to stand in the capital. He was dismissed from his official position by the court, and there is no way he will ever be able to enter the government again. His son and daughter don't like him, and his wife divorced him. What else can he do in his life?"

Wu's eyes were red. "We are the ones who have committed the sin. We have sons and daughters, and we don't know who we can rely on in the future."

Mrs. Wen sighed, "From this point of view, the master of the first house is really capable. If it weren't for his daughter's disappointment, the master would probably..."

Mrs. Qiu interrupted, "What are you afraid of? You still have to go home to mourn! Those two, a butterfly and a flower, didn't die sooner or later, but had to die when the young master became the top scholar! What bad luck!"

Gradually, the topic got off the topic. Wu's eyes were no longer red. She smiled and said, "How do you know that the young master will definitely win the first place in the imperial examination?"

Qiu was very proud of it. "As long as the young master takes the exam, he will definitely be the top scorer. Is there any need to ask? It's still those two... What a butterfly and a flower, they are clearly a toad and a frog! Sigh!"

She curled her lips and continued, "Anyway, Sister Wen and I both have daughters, so the worst that can happen is that they don't marry well. But Sister Zhou and Sister Wu, you have sons! If you don't return to the capital, you will accompany the Second Master to seek death here, and you will even lose your life."

Everyone was an old man around Shi Chengxuan, and they all nodded. They were so united because they were scared of the Second Master.

Seeing that the time had come, Mrs. Qiu suggested, "Let's write to the Madam and the young lady. While the Second Master is still just bragging, we may be able to save him. If we wait until he accepts bribes, it will be too late."

The three concubines were all shocked. "Yes, that's a good idea! We still have to find Madam! The Second Master is pretending to be an official appointed by the court, and he is lying... God, he even dares to take advantage of Emperor Mingde!"

When Tang Chujun received the letters from his concubines, he and his daughter kowtowed ninety-nine times on the steps in front of the gate of Baoguo Temple, praying for Yao Sheng.

Kowtow and praying for blessings were done in secret. Tang Chujun did not want to use this as a gimmick and let people talk about Yao Sheng for no reason, so he asked his son-in-law to prohibit pilgrims from entering and leaving Baoguo Temple on that day.
