After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

How could she dare to hide anything? "It was Zaohua, who was beside Aunt Pan, who instigated this servant to do this."

Aunt Pan is Lu Bai's concubine. Zhou Fang didn't expect that this matter would involve the second wife, and her face changed slightly.

"Wang Xiaocao and I are good friends. She once saved my life."

"Zaohua knows our relationship. I've been feeling very angry these past few days because of what happened to Wang Xiaocao."

"On the night of the eldest son's wedding, Zaohua accompanied Aunt Pan in Rongshou Hall and heard Miss Liang mention the events of Yanmen County."

"She thought this was a good opportunity to punish the eldest young lady. Even if things got out of hand, the most I'd get would be a beating, but it would also help Wang Xiaocao feel better."

"Last night, I was guarding outside the Momei Pavilion. From a distance, I saw someone who looked very much like Liu Yan walk in. He stayed there for half an hour before leaving. I fabricated the story."

"As for those words that slandered Miss Liang, they were all made up by Zaohua and me."

She glanced at the person kneeling beside her and said, "Songjiang knows nothing and loves gossiping. I deliberately pulled her along and hid her on the side of the road where Miss Liang was walking, so that Miss Liang could hear what she said."

The girl named Songjiang immediately widened her eyes: "Sangye, you deliberately hurt me!"

"You are right to criticize the master?"

Wang Min was furious. She hated gossip and talking behind other people's backs all day long.

The old lady felt ashamed and embarrassed. She was so angry that her face turned blue: "Zhou, the root of the trouble is actually in the second house. How do you manage it?"

Zhou Fang was no pushover. Facing the old lady's anger, she said unhappily, "Old lady, please don't blame your daughter-in-law. Pan is two months pregnant and is now the second master's favorite. I still need to provide for her."

"Her people, the daughter-in-law dare not control, there is no need to quarrel with the second master again."

The old lady was heartbroken by her. Both the eldest and the second eldest families were a worry. She wondered what kind of people they married.

Not long after, Zaohua was brought in, and with her came Aunt Pan.

Aunt Pan was in her early twenties, beautiful and delicate. Her waist was still very slim, and she didn't look pregnant at all. Her actions and behavior were full of humility, and she was the complete opposite of Zhou Fang.

Zaohua confessed without hesitation.

Just because Liu Yan had an argument with her, she felt resentful and took the opportunity to make trouble and frame Liu Yan.

The old lady immediately ordered that he be beaten with a stick twenty times and driven out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Pan knelt at the old lady's feet and begged bitterly: "This is all Zaohua's fault. She deserves whatever punishment the old lady gives her."

"But this girl and I are like sisters, and I really can't leave her. I beg you, old lady, to spare her this time for the sake of the child I'm carrying."

After saying this, she kowtowed repeatedly to Liang Yusong: "Miss Liang, it's all because of my poor discipline that I have ruined your reputation."

"Young lady, you have a kind heart, a noble bearing, and shine like a pearl. How can we, as small-minded people, slander you? Zaohua acted impulsively and made a serious mistake. Please give her a chance to mend her ways and show some mercy."

Aunt Pan cried so sadly, so pitiful, and her sad and helpless look made people feel sympathy for her.

Suddenly, she clutched her stomach, her face pale: "My stomach hurts so much..."

Thinking that Aunt Pan was less than three months pregnant and the fetus was unstable, the old lady hurriedly said, "Quick, go get the palace doctor."

But Liang Yusong was already holding Aunt Pan's hand and taking her pulse.

The room suddenly quieted down. After a moment, Liang Yusong smiled and said, "Madam Pan's mood swings were too great, and she had a miscarriage. Fortunately, she took good care of herself, so this won't be a big problem. She just needs to stay calm."

The old lady looked at Liang Yusong with an embarrassed expression.

She had said before that the Lu family must give Liang Yusong an explanation for this matter. Now that the culprit has been found, the situation has become a bit tricky.

Among her children, the one she loved the most was the second master Lu Bai. He was a scholar and his temperament was most like his father.

Although Lu Song was more promising, he had completely learned the martial nature of the Wang family, which Old Lady Lu did not like at all.

Lu Bai was nearly forty years old. Although he had many children, the ancients believed that having many children meant more blessings. Old Madam Lu naturally hoped that Lu Bai would have as many sons as possible, so she also attached great importance to the child in Aunt Pan's belly.

Liang Yusong smiled calmly and dignifiedly: "Old Madam, you know that I hate to see others suffer. Otherwise, I would not have dared to take the risk of going to Yanmen County."

"The deep love between Aunt Pan and Zaohua as master and servant really touched me."

"Just get to the bottom of this matter. Zaohua acted impulsively and caused a disturbance. I'm sure she won't dare to do it again. Please be magnanimous and forgive her this time. If she dares to stir up trouble again next time, you can punish her more severely."

"If seeking justice for me causes Aunt Pan to have a miscarriage, if anything goes wrong, I will definitely feel guilty and will not be able to live in the Lu family anymore."

"Just think of it as a small punishment for my sake, okay?"

Hearing this, the old lady felt relieved and proud. She took Liang Yusong's hand and said affectionately, "You are such a kind child."

"Alright, since Yusong has pleaded for you, I'll forgive you this time."

"However, if a mistake is made, the punishment must still be imposed."

"Although Zaohua is the mastermind, Aunt Pan still needs to be waited on. She will be punished with ten strokes of the cane and a fine of one year's salary."

"Mrs. Pan failed to discipline her children properly, so she is fined half a year's salary and confined to her house for a month."

"As for Sangye and Songjiang, they will be given twenty lashes and a fine of one year's standard silver. If they dare to do it again, they will be sold immediately."

Several maids were moved to tears and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, old lady, for your kindness."

Madam Lu snorted coldly and pointed at Liang Yusong, who was standing beside her gracefully. "You still need to thank Miss Liang. She is kind-hearted and didn't bother with you. Otherwise, I would never forgive you."

The matter seems to be over at this point.

However, they seemed to have forgotten one thing.

Yuan Wanru chuckled softly, "Miss Liang is indeed very broad-minded. She can easily forgive those who slandered her reputation. I am truly ashamed of myself."

Madam Lu looked at him coldly and said disdainfully, "It's good that you know. You are far inferior to Yu Shuang."

"She suffered injustice, but she was able to consider the overall situation and be considerate of the elders. I am unlucky. The women my family married are all more powerful than the last."

"I wonder which family will be lucky enough to marry her in the future."

I thought Yuan Wanru would be ashamed when she heard these words, but unexpectedly, she actually admitted frankly that she was not as good as Liang Yusong.

"My personality and that of Miss Liang are very different."

"I'm the kind of person who is vindictive and narrow-minded. If someone makes me unhappy, then she won't be happy either."

"However, I am a reasonable person, and I do reasonable things."

No one understood what her intention was in saying these words, but Lu Jiangnian had already realized that she was probably going to cause trouble again.

As expected, she casually said, "So, today I was framed and wronged, and the old lady almost punished me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights. Shouldn't the old lady apologize to me?"
