Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1009

The Empress Dowager looked at her belly, which was showing signs of sagging, indicating that she would be giving birth in a few days.

"Go back first. You don't need to worry about this."

"I will handle it."

Yun Xiyue said, "Madam Leng is ill. Her health is very poor. Your Majesty, at this time, I hope you will show leniency."

"So Mingzhu deserved to be beaten?" The Empress Dowager was protective of her own.

Pei Mingzhu is, after all, her own niece.

In her opinion, it was already terrible.

She failed to protect her daughter, just as she failed to protect Pei Mingzhu in the past.

It's not her fault now, so should Mingzhu be expected to tolerate it?

The Empress Dowager was furious. "Get out of my way. Today, Madam Leng had a fit of madness and deliberately hurt people. I cannot let her continue to be so insane."

Yunxi Yue was willing but powerless.

Fortunately, Murong Yu and his group arrived at that moment.

"Ayue."

"Your Majesty." Yun Xiyue stood up.

Murong Yu quickly came over to support her, "Summon the imperial physician."

The imperial physician has arrived and will soon come in to treat their injuries.

Leng Yan knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. My wife is not insane. She only became agitated upon seeing the county princess."

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "Last time you deliberately pushed Mingzhu, and this time you threw a teacup at someone. Are you only satisfied when she kills Mingzhu?"

Leng Yan choked on his words and looked at the magpie.

Magpie secretly shook her head. Little did she know, the lady had indeed gone mad in her attack on Pei Mingzhu, and it was even more severe than the last time.

This time, she looked at Pei Mingzhu carefully.

She did not approach the lady, and what she said was not problematic.

"Hmph!" The Empress Dowager saw that they were all speechless. "I think your wife has lost her mind."

Yun Xiyue said, "But Madam Leng has no problem talking to us, and she is very composed even when facing the Emperor."

Most people would feel fear upon seeing Murong Yu.

After all, the emperor's authority was undeniable.

People who don't spend much time with him will be intimidated by the imperial aura he exudes, and will subconsciously show fear.

But Chu Xinyi has a sincere heart.

She is usually a very simple person and is easily satisfied.

Yunxi Yue couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Magpie, tell me the whole story."

The magpie stepped forward and explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Murong Yu said unhappily, "I don't understand why Pei Fang has been seeking out Madam Leng time and time again?"

“Your Majesty, the county princess wishes to apologize to Madam Leng,” Yuanyuan said.

Murong Yu scoffed, "Why should she apologize when she did nothing wrong!"

The girl was so frightened she didn't dare breathe.

The Empress Dowager felt that Murong Yu was prejudiced against Pei Fang.

“Your Majesty, do you also think Mingzhu is at fault? Mingzhu did some bad things in the past, but she was punished. To err is human, to forgive divine.”

"Now that she feels guilty towards Madam Leng and comes to visit her, and then gets her head smashed, is that her fault?"

Murong Yu said, "She knew perfectly well that Madam Leng didn't want to see her, so why did she still insist on seeing her? Madam Leng would be traumatized if she saw her. Knowing this, who can she blame for being beaten?"

What is the Empress Dowager thinking?

"Don't think I don't know what she's thinking. Just because Leng Yan doesn't say anything doesn't mean I'll give her face. She took the initiative to get close to Leng Yan as soon as she returned, deliberately leaving her earring on him. What do you think Madam Leng will think if she sees this?"

Magpie told Leng Yan about the earrings.

Leng Yan brought the earrings to the Imperial Study and showed them to the Emperor, Pei Heng, and Pei Shang, also mentioning that she had sprained her ankle that day.

Because of this incident, Pei Heng stopped causing trouble.

Once the reward was accepted, the matter was considered closed.
