Chapter 247
Mrs. Jing couldn't believe that these words would come out of Master Jing Er's mouth. She was trembling with anger, her index finger trembling, and pointed at the second master, "You, you have the courage to say it again!"

The second master looked at her calmly, "Mother, I have the courage to say these words, but you asked me to fight against King Ning to save my brother, I really don't have the courage."

Mrs. Jing was furious, "Second brother, your elder brother died, as a brother, how could you turn a blind eye and stand by!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Master Jing Er's mouth, "Mother, if elder brother really committed a crime, and you ask me to intercede for him now, wouldn't you push me into the pit of fire? They are both stepson, why should mother regard elder brother as an official?" First of all, and I am only a fourth-rank military officer, don’t you think it’s too much for the difference between one and the other?”

Mrs. Jing's face suddenly turned pale and red after choking.

Logically speaking, her three stepsons are not bad, but she values ​​Jing Yuhuan's position as the right chancellor more, which can not only honor the family, but also ensure her peace of mind in her later years.

Aside from Jing Yuhuan, she doesn't have much affection for the second and third masters.

Now when she suddenly heard the second child scolding her for being biased, she was stunned.

Counting the days since the old man left, I really put too much thought and energy on Jing Yuhuan, who inherited the position of right minister, and hardly paid much attention to the other two.

Although she thought so in her heart, Mrs. Jing was not convinced, especially when she saw the second master's cold attitude, the little bit of guilt that had just arisen disappeared in an instant, and she frowned slightly, "Who is your brother? Don't you understand? He has been an honest and honest official for so many years and acted cautiously. How could he do something that is not a black hat? There is obviously something strange here. As his brother, you have a responsibility and an obligation to help him Find out the truth and return him innocent!"

The corner of the second master's mouth sneered deeper, "When my wife in the main house was found dead and embedded on the wall of the courtyard of the big house, why didn't my mother investigate this matter in detail? How can a woman have such a great ability to hide my wife's body in the wall?"

Mrs. Jing's face froze.

"My mother asked me who my elder brother is, and I can answer you very seriously. In my heart, he is a murderer." The second master's unhurried voice stunned everyone in the warm pavilion.

Madam Jing couldn't react for a long time.

Cheng twitched her lips, "Second Uncle, it's a little extreme for you to say that. The old lady mentioned the matter of the second younger siblings to me, and I also asked the Elder Master, and the Elder Master said that he didn't care about it at all. Without knowing it."

The second master had a cold smile on his face, "Ma'am, would any murderer you have ever met tell you that he killed someone?"

Cheng's pupils shrank, and he clenched his handkerchief tightly.

Mentioning the Yang family, the second master panicked in his heart. He no longer had the patience and mood to spend time with these women, so he stood up straight away and said coldly, "If mother has nothing else to do, I'm going to the yamen It's business."

Mrs. Jing opened her mouth, she didn't send her off, she didn't want to keep her, she was very annoyed for a moment.

After the second master walked away, she slapped the table heavily, "This second child is so defiant! It was Su Aoyu who killed the Yang family, and Su Aoyu was beheaded and expelled from the family tree long ago. How could he To be able to settle this account on his elder brother's head is really mad at me!"

Cheng pursed her lips slightly, and thought again and again, "Madam, since Second Uncle's way doesn't work, I'll go and ask Third Uncle to see if he can stand up and clarify the facts for Elder Master."

Mrs. Jing waved her hand, "For the current plan, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Madam Xie, "Go and invite the third master over here."

"No!" Mrs. Jing didn't finish speaking, and Cheng stopped him: "After all, I have something to ask for, and I have to go in person to show my sincerity. Maybe Third Uncle will look at this and give me some face."

Mrs. Jing pondered for a moment, "That's fine, after all, something happened to your husband-in-law, so it's up to you to ask for help."

Mrs. Cheng left the Millennium Hall and went straight to the Sanfang courtyard.

When Mrs. Liu heard that it was Mrs. Cheng who came in person, she knew what the other party was planning without even thinking about it. She raised her eyebrows and said to the woman who sent the message: "Go out and tell her that the third master is sick and sees no guests."

Not long after, the mother-in-law relayed Liu's original words to Cheng.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng frowned, "You said the third master is sick?"

The mother-in-law nodded, "That's what the third lady said, the third master is resting on the couch now!"

Cheng poked his head to look in the third-bedroom courtyard, but saw nothing.

She guessed that Liu's family must want Sanfang to be alone, so he made up the lie that the third master was ill, and planned to separate from this matter, and was not going to help her.

With a chill in his heart, Cheng went back to the Millennium Hall the same way, and told Mrs. Jing everything about the situation just now.

After Madam Jing heard this, her entire face was twisted together in anger, "It's unreasonable! The eldest room is in trouble, and the second room can just stand by and watch. The third room and the eldest room live in the same mansion, and they even want to avoid it. !"

Standing up, Mrs. Jing said angrily: "Mr. Cheng, you ask someone to invite a doctor to follow me to the third room. I want to see if the third child is dying of illness, and even the Millennium Hall is here." Not moving anymore?"

Seeing that the old lady was really angry, Mrs. Cheng didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to invite the doctor over.

A group of people followed Mrs. Jing and walked to the gate of the third bedroom courtyard in a mighty manner.

The mother-in-law in the outer court was terrified by the situation, and hurried to look for Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was already in an irritable mood, but when she saw the restless servants, she couldn't help but feel annoyed, and her tone became more angry, "What's wrong?"

The old woman tremblingly said: "Third madam, the old madam asked a doctor to bring her here, saying that she is to see the third master."

"what!"

Mrs. Liu jumped up violently, with a shocked expression on her face, "You said that the old lady brought the doctor to see the third master herself?"

"Yes."

Liu Shi gritted her teeth, "It must be the idea of ​​that shameless bitch Cheng Shi. Something happened to her husband-in-law. Why should my husband-in-law have to come forward? It's really unreasonable. I've already made it clear that I won't help. She dared to sue the old lady, she really regarded me as a soft persimmon who could be bullied at will, didn't she?"

Mrs. Liu was very aggressive, and told her mother-in-law, "Lead the way ahead, and I will go out and meet them in person."

She didn't believe it anymore, if the third master didn't go out, the old lady could forcefully drag the third master out to testify for the uncle?

Coming outside the courtyard gate, Mrs. Jing really brought the doctor to stand outside, followed by Mrs. Cheng who had just returned from the closed door.

With eyes full of anger, he gouged out Cheng's body, Liu's gaze was turned away, he looked at Mrs. Jing, and smiled, "Old lady, what are you doing, why are you bringing so many people here? "

Mrs. Jing snorted coldly, with a gloomy face, "Just now when the eldest daughter-in-law came over, she heard that the third child was ill, and you were reluctant to spend money to hire a doctor, so I, an old woman, will take charge once and bring the doctor to show him. Glancing behind Mrs. Liu, he asked coldly, "What about the third child, why don't you see anyone else? Could it be that he's too sick to even come out of the room?"

Liu said: "Madam, the third master has already rested."

How could Mrs. Jing listen to her nonsense and stare at her, "Then tell me, what is the illness of the third child?"

Liu's heart was a little flustered, but she forced herself to be calm, "It's nothing, it's just a common cold, just drink a few medicines and you'll be fine."

"Fengchi?" Mrs. Jing's voice became sharp, "Since I can't even go to the Ministry of Rites, I think I'm seriously ill, so I can't delay."

Without waiting for Mrs. Liu's reaction, Mrs. Jing told Mrs. Cheng, "Daughter-in-law, you bring the doctor in to see the third one, and I will chat with the third wife outside."

When Liu Shi heard this, her entire face changed color, "Madam, you can't do it!"

Mrs. Jing was furious, "Your husband is seriously ill, and you still haven't asked him a doctor. I, a mother, will take someone to see him personally. Why, do you still want to stop him?"

Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth with hatred, but she didn't dare to talk back casually, she just said: "After all, sister-in-law is the head of the family, how can she take the doctor to see my husband? Gone."

Mrs. Jing gave her a cold look, "Then tell me, what should I do, let the third child come out by himself, or let me, a mother, go in and invite him in person?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked in without saying a word.

"Hey, you..."

Mrs. Jing was about to speak when she was stopped by Mrs. Cheng, "Old lady, the third sibling should have gone in to invite the third uncle, so it doesn't matter if we wait a while."

Mrs. Jing's complexion became more and more gloomy, and she looked at the third house woman angrily, "Take us to the front hall!"

After the mother-in-law shivered, she immediately led the way.

Mrs. Liu came to the third master's room.

The third master was still lying on the couch and pretending to be sick.

Liu Shi was furious, and sat down, "Don't pretend, the old lady brought someone over, and insisted on forcing you to go out to meet her."

The third master immediately sat up straight, "What are you talking about!"

Mrs. Liu snorted angrily, "You still ask after hearing that, anyway, I have nothing to do, you can deal with the old lady by yourself!"

The third master looked confused, "Didn't you tell her I was sick?"

"I told you!" Mrs. Liu became annoyed when she mentioned this, "I brought all the doctors here, and we'll see how you respond this time."

The third master squinted his eyes and thought about it, and decided to lift off the brocade quilt and get out of bed, Liu Shi was anxious, and grabbed his arm, "What are you doing?"

The third master was helpless, "The old lady has come in person, can I not go out to see her?"

Liu's expression turned ugly, "Doesn't that mean that you are going to promise her to save your elder brother who suffered a thousand knives?"

The third master pursed his lips and said nothing.

Liu was so angry that she sat on the ground and cried, "If you dare to step out of this room today, I will show you to death!"

The third master was frightened by her, frowned deeply, bent down and pulled her, "What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and think of a way for me. In short, you can't agree to save the uncle, otherwise, I will show you my life!" Liu knew that the third master was still a little afraid of her, so he simply threatened the other party's weakness.

The third master really changed his expression, "You get up first."

Mrs. Liu sat on the ground without moving, "You promise me first."

"Okay, okay, I promise you, it's finally over!" The third master rubbed his forehead, and finally pulled Liu Shi up.

Mrs. Liu tightly grabbed his arm, afraid that he would turn back and go out to do bad things all of a sudden, so she stared at him, "Tell me first, what do you think of?"

The third master said: "I'm just a servant of the Ministry of Rites, how can I save my brother with such a big face?"

Liu's eyes were anxious, "Then you still go?"

The third master looked at her, "You can't let me be a shrinking turtle here, right? The old lady sitting outside is not a poor relative who came to fight the autumn wind. You said you can get rid of it casually?"

Mrs. Liu frowned deeply, "I don't think so. After you go out, you can directly confess to the old lady, saying that you are a soft-spoken person. Even if you stand up to testify, no one will believe you. Instead of letting you go, the old lady would rather let you go." She went to ask Concubine Jing Taishu, who still has some status in the palace, if she comes forward, what can't be solved?"

As soon as Liu Shi said, the third master's eyes lit up immediately, "You reminded me that there are more than three brothers in our family, and there is a sister above me in the palace!"

Mrs. Liu was even more angry, "I think the old lady did it on purpose. Concubine Jing Taishu didn't need her backstage, so she had to pull out you, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to test the water. Presumably, she also considered that the uncle's mistake this time was not trivial. , I dare not drag my daughter into the water easily, heh, her daughter is a human being, but your stepson is not a human being? Why do we have to help the long house if it is in trouble? Do you owe him?"

Liu Shi has always been greedy for petty gain and gloated at other people's misfortunes. It is precisely because of her short-sightedness that she can analyze it so clearly when it comes to her own interests.

The third master was stunned by her again.

He felt that Liu's words were not unreasonable.

Although the third house hasn't separated yet, they haven't had much contact with the long house. If something happened to the long house, it's the elder brother's own fault. Who is to blame?

This time when something happened to the long room, the old lady could pull him out to test the water stone. If even he fell down, at that time, the old lady would just rush around begging for help from Jing Yuhuan, but for Jing Yuhuan His official position is not as high as that of his elder brother's Minister of Rites, so he doesn't care about it?
Thinking of this, the third master also held back his anger.

Liu Shi carefully observed his expression, and when she saw that he suddenly became angry, she was startled, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

The third master's eyes sharpened, "Come on, let's go out and meet the old lady."

When Liu thought of the face of that old woman, she wished she could sit in the house and not go out, but the other party was an elder, so she couldn't do that no matter what.

Sighing helplessly, Mrs. Liu followed the third master to the front hall.

"Old madam, why did you bring the doctor here? Didn't I ask my wife to tell you, just take a rest."

I already knew that the third master was pretending to be sick, but Mrs. Jing did not expect him to pretend to be so righteous, and she was furious at the moment, and smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth, "Since the doctors are here, why don't you show it to the third son?" If you are sick, you need to see a doctor in time. How can you procrastinate? Something happened in our house, but we won’t be able to invite a doctor. Come, come, third child, don’t stand still, come and sit down. Give the doctor a pulse."

The third master's lip line was tight, and he stood still.

The old lady's face became more and more ugly, "Why, are you not happy or are you not sick at all?"

The third master was a little annoyed by the old lady's words, so he directly pointed it out, "The old lady is mobilizing people to bring the doctor to our yard today, presumably it is not just to see me?"

Mrs. Jing's eyes turned sharp, "That's right, you must have already guessed why I came here. Since you have made it clear, then I will not play charades. Your brother is in jail. This matter, the second bedroom Stand by and watch, you Sanfang can't stay out of it."

Mrs. Liu sneered, "Madam, that's what you said, but what do you think he can do with his position as the third master?"

Mrs. Jing snorted coldly and said: "The third son has many colleagues in the court for so many years. You can get in touch with them and ask them to help you out." Seeing the third master's tough attitude from the corner of the eye, the old lady had no choice but to take Huairou policy, "Oh, we are a family after all, why do you have to divide them so clearly? Anyway, your third wife is still living in this mansion. In case something happens to your brother and this mansion is sealed up, you Don’t husbands and wives have to suffer as well?”

The third master was silent, his expression a little uncertain.

Liu Shi secretly pinched his arm.

The third master immediately regained his senses and said firmly: "Old lady, it's not that I don't want to help, but that I really can't do anything. On the one hand, there is the thunderous regent king, and on the other hand, the cold-blooded king Ning. How much help do you think I need?" Can connections make these two take back their lives?" After finishing speaking, he muttered casually, "I'm just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, how can I gain such a big face, this kind of thing, unless Concubine Jing Taishu comes forward Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for me to rescue my brother by myself."

Mrs. Jing did not expect that the third child would directly mention Concubine Jing Taishu, her face darkened.

It was precisely because she didn't want her daughter to wade into this muddy water that she tried every means to find the second and third brothers. Unexpectedly, one of the two brothers treated them indifferently, while the other pretended to be sick. It was simply too chilling.

"Yes, old lady." Liu echoed with a smile, "The third master is right, no matter how well-connected he is, he will never be able to match what Concubine Jing Taishu said. Concubine Jing Taishu is the birth mother of the virtuous king. If there is a place for her, if an elder like her comes forward, the regent will surely give a little favor to anything she says, right?"

Cheng glanced at the old lady and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were tangled, obviously she was not happy to let Concubine Jing Taishu show up.

Mrs. Liu also noticed that she had already scolded Mrs. Jing hundreds of times in her heart.

This old woman is not willing to let her own daughter show up, but instead treats her stepson as a human being, and tries every means to get the third master to test the water stone. Will she play tricks and treat everyone else as fools?
"Since there is Concubine Jing Taishu, then I will not get involved in this matter." The third master cupped his hands, "Forgive me, old lady, I will go back to my room now."

After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

The old lady's face darkened to the extreme.

Seeing this, Liu sneered.

Old lady, let you be so arrogant, now you are shooting yourself in the foot, right?
Glancing at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, Liu Shi said: "Since Uncle's matter is extremely urgent, I won't keep my sister-in-law and old lady, please do yourselves."

The old lady stood up with the support of Madam Xie, and when she walked past Mrs. Liu, her voice was so cold, "Just wait, you three will ask me one day!"

Liu's heart trembled, but she forced a smile and said, "Daughter-in-law doesn't understand the meaning of what the old lady said. You are an elder, and we are all juniors. Isn't it normal to ask for something from you? Could it be that you, as an elder, Will you treat your stepson more favorably than others?"

Mrs. Jing's face was almost furious. If she could, she would really like to slap the narrow-minded woman in front of her hard and make her suffer.

Liu's words smiled at Yan Yan, and sent her blessings respectfully, "Old lady, go slowly."

*
Out of the three-room yard.

Mrs. Jing said bitterly: "What kind of brothers and sisters, when the critical moment comes, they all only think about protecting themselves. A second child and a third child really disappoint me."

Cheng followed behind the old lady without saying a word.

The old lady turned around and looked at her, "Why didn't you speak just now?"

Cheng said: "The daughter-in-law feels that what the third uncle said may not be unreasonable. He is just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, and there is also a minister of etiquette of the Zhanxian King's Party. Even if the third uncle stands up, it will only make things worse. .”

The old lady frowned, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Cheng's face showed hesitation.

The old lady yelled, "Say!"

Cheng said slowly: "Maybe, let's ask Concubine Jing Taishu to come forward..."

Before Cheng's words were finished, Mrs. Jing interrupted her coldly, "Concubine Jing Taishu is just a woman, what can she do? Isn't there no news from Jing Wanbai? possible."

Cheng pursed her lips, "Old lady, what if Jing Wan Bai was bought by Chu Palace as you said and won't be coming back for a while, what should we do?"

Mrs. Jing was stunned.

I stood there thinking for a long time, "Isn't there still the Duke of Jin's mansion?"

"What!" Mrs. Cheng couldn't believe it. Mrs. Jing, who had always regarded Mrs. Jin as her deadly enemy, would actually ask for help from the Duke of Jin's mansion at a critical moment?
"Miss Su Er and Jing Lan's wedding is approaching. I am the head mother of the entire Jing family. Now that something happened to the eldest house, how can the two of them get married smoothly? There is no need to discuss the matter." Madam Jing curled her lips coldly.

Cheng was hesitant, "What if the Duke of Jin's government divorces the engagement in a hurry?"

"She dares!" Mrs. Jing laughed slyly, "I know Mrs. Guo's temperament too well. She is an extremely conservative and reputation-conscious person. If she hastily divorced, she will only tarnish the reputation of their family's Second Miss Su. Other than that, there is absolutely no benefit. Madam Xie, come here, I have something to tell you to go to the Duke of Jin's mansion. "

Xie Momo came forward, Mrs. Jing whispered a few words in her ear.

Xie Momo took the order and immediately left the mansion to head towards Duke Jin's mansion.

*
Duke of Jin.

The Duke's wife and the three daughters-in-law are also discussing this matter.

"Have you ever heard what Jing Yuhuan did?" Mrs. Guo asked.

Dong said: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know all the details. It seems that the right minister is suspected of selling an official. The left minister found the evidence and referenced a book."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jin Guogong laughed directly, "I really don't like retribution. A person like Jing Yuhuan deserves to spend a lifetime in prison. He is unfaithful as a minister, dishonest as a husband, unfilial as a son, and unkind as a father." , It's meaningless for a person like him to live."

Yao Shi sighed: "It's just that I didn't expect King Ning to act so decisively. The son-in-law sent his father-in-law to prison. This matter really sounds shocking."

Mrs. Guo snorted, "What kind of temper is King Ning? You have never heard of him when he was the censor of Zuodu in the early years. Let alone a small right minister, he even dared to impeach the emperor. Now it's his turn. When it comes to Jing Yuhuan, and Jing Yuhuan committed the crime of betraying an official, King Ning will not be lenient."

"Mother is right." Dong said: "Your relatives are not good at all, and she has married a second wife in a short time. It is really deceiving. King Ning's doing this is also considered as Se. The girl let out a bad breath."

"Well said!" The Duke's wife said happily, "What I'm most worried about in my life is that girl Se is alone. Now that she's married to a good family and has a good life, she's completely separated from the Right Prime Minister's mansion, so I don't worry. Well, as for Jing Yuhuan, we don’t care whether he is dead or alive, he is not my son-in-law now, it is best for our two families not to interfere with each other, otherwise it will touch my back, and I want him to look good!"

As soon as Mrs. Guo finished speaking, the eldest maid, Jin Bracelet, walked in, "Mrs. Guo, there is a woman from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver a message."

The Duke's wife immediately frowned, looked at Dong Shi and asked, "Did she say anything?"

Jin Bracelet shook his head, "I don't know."

Mrs. Jin Guogong stood up and told Mrs. Dong, "Come on, let's go out for a meeting."

A group of four immediately left the Wanqing Garden and went to the front hall.

Grandma Xie of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion stood tremblingly outside the front hall. Seeing Mrs. Jin walking over with the three daughters-in-law on a stick, she trembled. Mrs. Guo Gongfu."

Mrs. Jin Guogong gave her a cold look, "Who sent you here?"

"Yes, Mrs. Jing." Nanny Xie said truthfully.

"As expected!" Mrs. Jin Guogong sneered, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Momo said: "Old Madam Jing said that something happened to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and now the mansion is in chaos. The wedding date of Miss Su and Young Master Jing Er may have to be postponed because of this."

Mrs. Guo's face darkened, and she couldn't tell that Mrs. Jing was planning to use Su Miaoyu's marriage contract with Jing Lan to threaten the Duke of Jin's government to come forward to rescue Jing Yuhuan, otherwise Su Miaoyu would not be able to marry smoothly.

The three daughters-in-law Dong, Yao, and Ning also understood the meaning of the words, and everyone's expression was ugly, especially Su Miaoyu's biological mother, Dong, clenched her fingers tightly, and the anger in her heart rose faintly.

Mrs. Jin Guogong was not angry, she glanced at Xie Mama contemptuously, and raised the corners of her lips, "Okay, since Mrs. Jing has said so, it seems that something terrible happened in your house." It's a big deal, and as the grandmother of the punchline, I can't seem to stand by on this matter, are you right, Madam Xie?"

Mrs. Jing's original intention was to ask the Duke of Jin to intercede for Jing Yuhuan. Now that Mrs. Guo would not stand idly by, Nanny Xie was naturally happy and nodded in agreement, "Madam Guo is right. It should be connected with each other.”

Mrs. Guogong's wife put on a smile, "Okay, you go outside and wait, I will go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in a while, and visit your old lady by the way."

Xie Momo happily went out of the corner door and waited outside.

Mrs. Guogong turned around and told Mrs. Dong, "Eldest daughter-in-law, follow me to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in a while, and the second and third daughter-in-laws should go back to their own rooms. After all, this matter involves the daughter of the elder family, you go Can't help anymore."

Yao Shi and Ning Shi both bowed their knees and retreated to the courtyard.

Mrs. Guo took a look at Dong, and whispered, "I will arrive at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in a while, no matter what happens, don't make a fuss, I have my own considerations."

Mrs. Dong was taken aback by Mrs. Guo's words, "Mother..."

"Stop talking!" Mrs. Jin Guogong was a little displeased, "That old woman has been too arrogant recently, and dared to threaten me. It's time to give her some color."

After that, he leaned on his stick and walked straight to the corner door.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly followed and helped.

A carriage had already been prepared outside, and after Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Jin Guogong sat in it, Nanny Xie followed outside the carriage, and did not stop until they reached the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Nanny Xie ordered the porter to go in and report.

Mrs. Jing did not expect Mrs. Jin Guogong to come in person, so she hurriedly brought Mrs. Cheng out to greet her.

Mrs. Jin Guogong got out of the carriage with the support of Mrs. Dong, and saw Mrs. Jing standing outside, she paced over and handed the heavy wooden crutch in her hand to Mrs. Dong, she stood in front of Mrs. Jing, not waiting The other party opened his mouth, raised his arm and slapped Mrs. Jing's face hard.

"Snapped--"

The sound is loud and crisp.

Before Mrs. Jing could react, Mrs. Jin Guogong raised her other hand again, "Pa—" and slapped her hard again.

Mrs. Jing was already old and frail, and with the two days of worrying about Jing Yuhuan's affairs, her body became weaker and weaker. She didn't expect to be beaten by Mrs. Jin Guogong, and she fell to the ground immediately.

Cheng's face paled in shock, and she let out a low voice, "Old lady—"

After saying that, he bent over to help.

The corners of Mrs. Jing’s mouth were all crooked. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She was supported by Mrs. Cheng and stood up. She frowned and stared at Mrs. Jin, “You! How dare you hit me? !"

Mrs. Jin's wife looked disdainful, "You old bastard dare to use my precious granddaughter to threaten Jin's mansion, how can I not beat you?"

Cheng's expression turned ugly, "Mrs. Guogong, our old lady is the biological mother of Concubine Jing Taishu, the imperial concubine Yipin Taifu. If you beat her like this, won't you be afraid of being punished by the Tian family?"

"Heh—" Mrs. Jin Guogong spoke sarcastically, "Mrs. Jing is Mrs. Yipin, the biological mother of Concubine Jing Taishu?"

Cheng's face was full of anger, "Since Mrs. Guo knows, why do you want to beat someone?"

Mrs. Jin Guogong looked at Cheng with a smile, "Just because she is a first-rank Mrs. Guogong, she is the great-grandmother of the emperor, and Mrs. Jing dares to threaten the emperor's great-grandmother. Do you think she deserves to die?"

Cheng choked suddenly.

How could she have forgotten that the granddaughter of Mrs. Jin is the little emperor's biological mother, and this old ancestor in front of him must never be offended.

The corners of her mouth twitched, Cheng knew she was wrong and did not dare to continue to refute, she just lowered her eyes to Mrs. Jing, looked at the other's pale face, and asked: "Old lady, how are you?"

If it weren't for Mrs. Cheng's support, Mrs. Jing would not be able to stand still at all. Her chest rose and fell sharply. Whatever she wanted to say was firmly suppressed by Mrs. Jin's identity, and she dared not utter a single word.

Mrs. Duke of Jin looked at Mrs. Mrs. Jing, her eyes gradually became sharper, "I tell you, girl Se has married into Prince Chu's mansion, and the current Right Prime Minister's mansion is completely incompatible with Duke of Jin's mansion, so you'd better not think you can rely on it." The bullshit Mrs. Yipin threatened me, this time I slap you twice, it is a small punishment for you, if you dare to do it again next time, I will send you to jail to see your son!"

Seeing Mrs. Jing's face turning from pale to dark, Mrs. Jin Guogong's eyes were full of disdain, "If you want to sue the imperial court, I will wait at the mansion anytime for someone from the imperial court to ask the teacher about your crimes. I want to take a look. Is it you, the relative of the criminal minister, who is more important, or the relative of the loyal minister, Lao Shen, who is more protected by the court."

Mrs. Jing pursed her lips tightly.

"You dare to stare at me? Believe it or not, I'll give you two more slaps!" Mrs. Jin Guogong's eyes narrowed slightly, with displeasure written all over her face.

Mrs. Jing touched her burning and painful cheeks, and told Cheng in a cold voice, "Go home!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly entered the right minister's mansion, and even made a special "bang" to close the door heavily.

Mrs. Dong had been terrified by Mrs. Guo's beating action just now, and she gradually recovered when she saw Mrs. Jing went in, "Mother, you just..."

"Do you want to relieve your anger?" Mrs. Guo asked her.

Mrs. Dong nodded, "It's a relief to relieve my anger. I'm afraid that the relationship between our two families will be completely rigid and severed in the future."

"Crack it, what are you afraid of?" The anger that had been suppressed for so many years was finally vented today, and Mrs. Jin Guogong was in a good mood, "The Right Prime Minister's Mansion is in danger now, so why do you still want to compete with this kind of family?" relative?"

"Of course my daughter-in-law doesn't want to." Dong said worriedly, "I'm just worried about the marriage contract between Miao Yu and Master Jing Er."

"There is no need to worry." Mrs. Jin Guogong comforted: "With today's event, Mrs. Jing won't dare to jump around anymore. The wedding date remains the same. When we go back, we will prepare happily and make Mrs. Jing die of anger! "

"But..." Mrs. Dong hesitated, "Mother beat Mrs. Jing today. If Master Jing Er finds out, will he have a bad impression of our family?"

"It's impossible." Mrs. Jin Guogong said firmly, "Don't forget, Master Jing Er's wife Yang died at the hands of Su Aoyu. The second master holds a grudge against this matter, presumably he also blames Mrs. Jing in his heart, otherwise why didn't the second master Jing stand up and intercede in person at such a critical moment when Jing Yu is in trouble?"

Mrs. Dong was right when she thought about it, she nodded and said with a smile, "It's still my mother who is considerate."

"Let's go!" Mrs. Jin waved her hand, "I came here today to show Mrs. Jing a little bit of color, and I didn't even think about going over the house to sit and sit. She wouldn't let me in, and I was worried that it would be dirty. The soles of my shoes."

Dong covered her lips and smiled, "Everyone in the street saw Mother's two slaps today. Whether it's because of face or the swelling and pain on her face, Mrs. Jing has to recuperate for a while behind closed doors."

"I just want to beat her in front of the neighbors and make people laugh at her. In this way, she will have a long memory in the future, so that she will not dare to break ground on Tai Sui." The Duke of Jin said: "Otherwise I will not Showing off her power, she thought that the Duke of Jin's mansion was so weak that even a lowly concubine like her dared to step on her head, bah, a shameless pickle who relied on being a concubine in the palace all these years The daughter is domineering, look, the retribution has come, and she has made herself into it, this time, I see what she can do to save Jing Yuhuan."

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

It didn't take long for the story of Mrs. Jing's beating to spread throughout the mansion, and the servants all looked at Mrs. Jing with complicated eyes, and more of it was ridicule.

Mrs. Jing was so angry that she waved her sleeves and overturned the teacup on the desk after entering the room, and shouted, "Get out, get out of here!"

Nanny Xie and Cheng Shi exchanged glances, and immediately backed out.

Cheng's complexion was not good, and he told Madam Xie, "Go to the houses and courtyards to inform, if anyone dares to chew their tongues in private about today's incident, they will pull out their tongues and beat them to death with sticks and throw them in the mass graves to be fed." Dingo!"

Madam Xie went down to inform soon.

The servants who had gathered together and discussed a lot just now shut up immediately and went to perform their duties.

Cheng turned around and glanced at the Millennium Hall, sighed softly, and went back to her yard.

The mother-in-law who arranged to go to Chu Palace to inquire about news came back soon.

Mrs. Cheng sat on the warm kang, propped her forehead and listened.

The woman knelt on the ground and told the truth, "Ma'am, this old slave asked a distant relative who worked in the Chu Palace, and she told the old slave that the third lady was temporarily staying at the Chu Palace by Princess Ning. I can't come back."

Cheng had expected this outcome a long time ago. She had a splitting headache and held her head in thought.

The Eldest Man must be rescued, but the Second Household ignores it, and the Third Household shirks responsibility. She is just a stepmother and has no rank. It seems like a dream to see Concubine Jing Taishu. The government has also fallen out, and now she really can't find anyone who can help her.

*
Two days later, a piece of news caused a sensation in the government and the public, as well as the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jing Yuhuan was arrested after escaping from prison, and the crime was aggravated. The old censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate appealed one after another to ask the regent to punish Jing Yuhuan severely.
