The First Phoenix

Mrs. Shi was about to explode with anger.

Wen Huiyi, this family troublemaker, wants to completely destroy the future of the Hou Mansion!

When she cried and howled like this, the people in the Hou family became talkative. Whenever someone casually spreads a few words to others, Shi Yunqi will have the reputation of being a follower of others and being a wolf-hearted person.

Today's Emperor Mingde attaches great importance to etiquette and law, and will never look down on such ministers.

This Wen Huiyi was determined to destroy her brother Qi's future. Even if he tried to top the high school or go to the palace examination, the emperor would abandon him because of these rumors.

Mrs. Shi thought of this and slapped the crutch in her hand, "Wen Huiyi, have you had enough trouble?"

Aunt Wen made this fuss entirely because she was so stimulated by Shi Anxia just now.

When she thought that Tang had devoted all her efforts to paving the way for Shi Yunqi, with the help of the Duke's Mansion and the support of everyone in the Marquis Mansion, Shi Yunqi would surely rise to great heights, she became fiercely jealous.

Because she knew very well how smart and studious Shi Yunqi was, and she would not try her best to torture him if he was duller.

If it weren't for the fact that Brother Xing would use Shi Yunqi from time to time, according to her idea, he would be directly fooled and killed to eliminate the jealousy in her heart.

Why did her son die, but Tang Chujun's son could still have a bright future and a beautiful life? Why can these two mother and son still be affectionate and affectionate?

She was so angry that she completely forgot what her daughter told her not to act rashly. She raised her head and said, "Aunt, I'm not making trouble! I just want to get my brother back!"

Tang Chujun seemed to have just heard the commotion. Surrounded by several maids and wives, he walked out of the main room. Standing gracefully and gracefully on the corridor of the main room, he looked coldly at Aunt Wen who was like a clown.

She was dressed in gorgeous attire, acting like the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, with a commanding presence. "Isn't it normal for illegitimate children to be raised under the name of their legitimate mother? When did a concubine get to be here yelling and clamoring for a child? Could it be that the rules of our Jian'an Marquisate are different from those of other noble families in the capital? Even if I expose this to the world, no one would say a word against me."

When the old lady heard this, she thought, "That's right! Tang is the principal wife, and the concubine's child should be raised under the name of the legitimate mother. There's nothing wrong with this. Why didn't I think of this?"

Then Tang said coldly, "It seems that I have been too indulgent with the concubines in the mansion, which has led to their bad habits of throwing tantrums. Starting tomorrow, at the beginning of the morning hour, all of you must come and set the rules for me!"

Aunt Wen was stunned. Not only was she shocked by Tang's well-reasoned words, but she was also stunned by her reborn beauty and temperament.

She suddenly remembered the scene when she first saw Tang's family when she first entered the house.

At that time, the Tang family was also enviably beautiful, but fragile and in a daze, which was incompatible with the prince's mansion.

Ever since the baby exchange, Aunt Wen has felt an indescribable sense of superiority whenever she sees Tang, as if the other party is under her control.

Aunt Wen had long forgotten that she was a concubine. Tang Chujun was the legal wife who had gone through the three books and six ceremonies and was married in a formal ceremony.

As long as Tang Chujun thinks about it, this Hou Mansion can easily be in Tang Chujun's hands. Including Aunt Wen's nominal son Shi Yunqi, he was also the son Tang Chujun wanted.

She's wallowing around here, but it doesn't work at all.

Tang Chujun stood high in the corridor, and saluted Mrs. Shi in a distant and perfunctory manner, "I met my mother, and she made her laugh. My daughter-in-law was too slack in the past, so she allowed cats and dogs who didn't understand the rules to jump up and down in the Marquis' mansion."

Mrs. Shi's hand tightened on the cane, feeling humiliated by being criticized.

Aunt Wen is from her mother's side. When Tang Chujun called Aunt Wen a cat and a dog who didn't understand the rules, didn't he also mean that she had no place in a small family?

Ever since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, the elders of the Shi family have always disapproved of her and disliked her. In front of her, they often said coldly, "Marry a virtuous wife." Wasn't that just a warning to her?

But she never expected that she would be scolded by her daughter-in-law in a veiled way despite her age, and she would not be able to say anything.

Earlier, the old lady took a fancy to the other party's identity as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo, and designed to disrupt the marriage between Tang Chujun and Shi Chengyi.

Qian Panwanpan brought Tang Chujunpan in and asked her to marry his son.

Who would have thought that Tang Chujun really didn't look like a mistress except for that face.

She didn't care about the Marquis's Mansion at all, and was like a stranger to her husband.

It’s no wonder her son has so many children in the harem. Who can stand such a cold attitude from his wife?

Now Tang Chujun finally paid attention to her son and showed the courage of the main wife. She felt unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything hurtful.

The two sides were just frozen in the snowy courtyard.

It was Tang Chujun who spoke first, "Since Aunt Wen keeps saying she wants to see her son, let's go into the house and have a look. Mother also wants to see how these people who don't understand the rules abuse the heirs of our Hou family."

Aunt Wen panicked and regretted not listening to her daughter. She should never have acted so rashly.

But it was too late now. In desperation, he covered his head and screamed, fainting to the ground.

After all, she is her niece, and she has been with her day and night for more than ten years. Mrs. Shi thought that Dr. Shen was in the house, so she reflexively shouted, "Quick, go ask Dr. Shen to come and take a look!"

"No need to bother!" Tang Chujun's eyes were heavy and he winked at Aunt Zhong beside him.

The other party immediately understood, called to the two girls, and poured cold water on Aunt Wen with two wooden basins.

Aunt Wen couldn't stand this harsh winter. She screamed and got up from the ground, crying and dancing like a clown, "Tang Chujun! You..."

Before she could finish her words, she was staggered by a backhand slap from Mother Zhong.

Tang Chujun said in a deep voice, "How dare a lowly concubine call the mistress by her name! Even if I beat you to death right now, no one would say anything to me."

Nanny Zhong slapped Aunt Wen on the other side of her face again, not caring at all about the old lady's gloomy look at the side.

She was not hitting Aunt Wen in the face, but clearly hitting Old Madam Shi in the face.

Tang Chujun said calmly, "Take her in!" He raised his eyes and met the old lady's surprised eyes, "Mother, please!"

The old lady felt a chill down her spine when she was looked at by Tang Chujun's icy eyes. She couldn't even muster up the aura of a mother-in-law, so she obediently followed him into the east wing.

There were several charcoal fires burning in the house, which was very warm.

Shi Yunqi fell asleep, looking very weak with his eyes closed.

Hearing the noise, he woke up with a start, a little panicked, and was about to get up and greet them, "Grandma, Mother, you are here..."

He was stunned and ignored Aunt Wen who was trembling and wet from behind. He didn't want to see that person, fearing that he wouldn't be able to help but scold her for being shameless.

His sister had warned him to be patient, but now was not the time to reveal the truth.

He lowered his head to hide the anger in his eyes.

Tang Chujun reached out and pressed him down, "Just lie down. Grandma loves you and wants to see your injuries."

Shi Yunqi lay down obediently and allowed his mother to gently lift the quilt, revealing his thin body in Chinese clothes.

He turned over and lay on the bed, lifting up his clothes.

Even if Mrs. Shi was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the old and new wounds that crisscrossed her back and said, "Ah," "Why, why is this like this?"

Not a single piece of skin on that back was intact. The skin and flesh of the new wounds are cracked, and although the old diseases have healed, the flesh has grown crookedly. Some places are deeply arched, and some are recessed. I don’t know what kind of sharp weapon was used to cause such injuries.

Tang Chujun tried hard to hold back her tears, her voice cold, "Mother, you saw this, this is how a concubine abuses the heir of the Marquisate. With such behavior, how can we expect a bright future for the Marquisate?"

The old lady's hands were shaking, and she was speechless. She felt guilty, regretful, and angry.
