The backyard of the Shangguan family was already in chaos at this time. When Shangguan Chengyi hurried to Zhuo's yard, he heard the angry scolding of Mrs. Shangguan and the persuasion of several female relatives from inside.

Although the Shangguan family is an important family in Pingjing City, its background is not deep, and the family population is naturally not large. Shangguan Chengyi was born in a poor family and was a real poor scholar. The Shangguan family's family was not even a scholarly family. Shangguan Chengyi's father died early, and only an orphan and widowed mother were left in the family. Mrs. Shangguan placed all hope on this son. Shangguan Chengyi did not disappoint and passed the Jinshi at a young age. However, Mrs. Shangguan was a rural woman who could not read a word. In his early years, he developed a fierce and mean personality in order to raise his son.

Shangguan Chengyi also knew that his mother's temperament was easy to cause trouble, and he rarely let her go out for social events in her early years. When she was still younger, Mrs. Shangguan could still listen to the advice, and she was devoted to her son, but nothing happened. When Shangguan Chengyi gradually became promoted, she felt that her mother had worked hard for her, and she obeyed Mrs. Shangguan. Gradually, the older Mrs. Shangguan became, the more stubborn and mean.

Especially for daughters-in-law who came from high schools, they looked down on them in every way. It was useless to persuade anyone. Shangguan Chengyi has been watching the mother-in-law next door make things difficult for his daughter-in-law since childhood, and he did not think that his mother did too much. Sometimes he would persuade him a few times, but most of the time he would let him go. But he didn't know that every time he persuaded him, Mrs. Shangguan would double the trouble of his daughter-in-law when he turned around.

It doesn't matter normally, but now it's a little trouble. Shangguan Chengyi is a very keen person, otherwise he would not have been able to become the prime minister from a poor scholar. Previously, Princess Shenyou clearly wanted to take care of Zhuo. If something happened to Zhuo at this time, Princess Shenyou would probably just take the handle of him. Shangguan Chengyi was not afraid of Princess Shenyou, but there were many undercurrents in the court that were staring at him secretly. If someone was exploited by someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mother." Shangguan Chengyi stepped into the yard and found that except for the eldest son who was not in the capital, almost everyone in the family was there. The two daughters-in-law were holding their mother and comforting her quietly, and the second son also stood aside and whispered something. Several concubines and concubines surrounded them to watch the fun, their eyes full of gloating fear that the world would not be in chaos.

When the old lady Shangguan saw her son, she immediately cried and wiping tears and said, "Yi'er, look, the wife you married... is going to anger me, the old lady to death." Shangguan Chengyi frowned slightly, glanced at the people watching the fun, and said coldly, "What are you doing here? Get off! Keep your mouth shut outside!"

Several concubines and children were unwilling to accept it, but they looked ugly and didn't dare to say anything. They had to retreat silently. Shangguan Chengyi then looked at his second son and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Yunru looked at his grandmother with some embarrassment, and then looked at the tight door not far away.

Shangguan Chengyi said angrily, "Let you say it!"

Although Mrs. Shangguan hated her daughter-in-law, she loved her grandson. Seeing that her son scolded her grandson, she immediately stepped forward and stopped her and said angrily, "Okay, why are you scolding my grandson?" Shangguan Chengyi said helplessly, "Mother, I... just want to ask what happened."

Mrs. Shangguan snorted softly, "It's not your precious daughter-in-law. I, an old woman, just want to eat a bowl of tofu soup she made, so she dares to pour all the steamed soup on me! Such an unfilial and evil woman, did she kneel down for a while and feel wronged in the ancestral hall? She dares to pretend to be dizzy. Is this going to frame me, the unkind mother-in-law?!"

"No!" A crying but a little shrill voice sounded, and a figure rushed out of the closed door. Shangguan Chengyi looked closely and saw that it was the maid next to Mrs. Shangguan, who seemed to be called Mier or something.

The girl's face was covered with tears, and she fell on the ground in front of Shangguan Chengyi and cried, "Master, this is not like this. It's really not the wife. She doesn't have her wife, she doesn't pretend to be dizzy! She is really..."

"Stop!" Mrs. Shangguan said sternly, "Where did you come from the slut, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of the master! People come, pull her down for me!"

Immediately, two strong-bodied women came forward, pulled the little girl up from left to right and walked out. The girl struggled and refused, "Master, please believe me, Madam really doesn't... Master, the second young master!"

Shangguan Yunru hesitated and looked at Mrs. Shangguan, but in the end he just stood silently beside Mrs. Shangguan without speaking.

"Stop!" Mrs. Shangguan's face was pale and rushed out of it. Without going to see Shangguan Chengyi and his son standing next to him, she headed straight to the girl.

"Let her go! Let Mi'er go!" Mrs. Shangguan said sternly. Perhaps her voice was too cold and the two women holding the girl couldn't help but let go. Mrs. Shangguan fell to the girl, hugged her and shouted, "Mi'er... Mi'er, how are you?"

The girl named Mi'er was also scared. She was an old man from the Shangguan family, so she naturally knew that the consequences of being dragged out by the people around the old lady were not just dragged out. At this time, she saw the lady in a mess, and couldn't help but hugging Mrs. Shangguan and crying loudly.

This tragic scene made everyone feel a little silent, but this does not include Mrs. Shangguan. Mrs. Shangguan only felt that Mrs. Zhuo was pretentious and pretended to be pitiful at the age of age to confuse her son and to alienate her relationship with her grandson. How much hardship did she endure to raise Yi'er? When did she become as weak as Mrs. Zhuo?

"What? I'm complaining to the master, saying that I'm an old woman abused you?" Mrs. Shangguan said sharply. Mrs. Zhuo couldn't help but tremble and looked up at her husband and son. What disappointed her was that Shangguan Chengyi just frowned and the expression on her face did not change. Her son turned his head slightly and avoided her gaze with guilt. Mrs. Zhuo felt desolate in his heart.

"Master." Zhuo stood up with Mier's support, looked at Shangguan Chengyi with a steady look and said, "Does Master believe me?" Shangguan Chengyi frowned and said, "Madam, my mother is old, why do you have to worry about her?" Zhuo only felt ridiculous. Her mother is old? But what about her? When her mother-in-law first started to mess with her, wasn't she still old? She already has a grandchild, but what kind of life did she live in these years?

I don’t know if the performance of the two men just now made Zhuo feel heartbroken and also stimulated her. Zhuo did not calm down as usual, and gritted his teeth and said, “I didn’t deliberately burn my mother, nor did I pretend to faint! My mother wanted to eat bean soup and asked me to make it myself, that’s fine. But she also asked me to grind beans and make beans myself, and I couldn’t pretend to be others at all. I got up from the third update and stayed busy until noon. My mother thought I was too slow to make it, so she reached out and pushed me. The bowl of bean soup was poured on me, and my mother’s body was just a little wet. For this, I have been kneeling since noon now…”

Mi'er couldn't help crying, "Master, please save your wife. The lady was caught in a cold yesterday and didn't eat much. She has been busy all day today, and she has not yet eaten..."

Zhuo couldn't help but hold Mi'er in her arms. The wet nurse she was dowry had passed away a few years ago. The original maid's servant should have left for various reasons in recent years. In this huge prime minister's mansion, she was the prime minister's wife, but there was only one close-fitting girl who could really treat her well. Her life... was really too failure and too sad.

Shangguan Chengyi frowned and said, "Okay, Ru'er, help your mother with your wife to rest, and let the doctor show you."

"Yes, father." Shangguan Yunru and the second young lady rushed forward and wanted to support Zhuo back to the room. Zhuo looked at his son intently. Shangguan Yunru and his mother looked at each other for a moment, and then slightly turned their faces. Zhuo was a little disappointed. She felt that every time something similar happened, but for some reason, she felt particularly tired and cold.

"master……"

"Okay." Shangguan Chengyi said impatiently, "Since Madam is tired, let's have a good rest. Be careful in the future."

Zhuo was stunned, and for a moment, something seemed to rush out of his mind.

A stream of grief that had been suppressed for a long time finally gushed out of her chest. She pushed away her son and daughter-in-law, and walked to Shangguan Chengyi in a staggering manner regardless of their astonishment. She looked at Shangguan Chengyi steadily and said, "What do you mean by me... is this my fault again?"

Shangguan Chengyi was stunned, and came to his senses before frowned, "What do you think?"

Zhuo Shi said, "I want to know, what does the master want?"

For decades, Zhuo has always been gentle and virtuous. Shangguan Chengyi has never been questioned like this by her, and she was a little confused for a moment. Before Shangguan Chengyi said anything, the old lady Shangguan couldn't help it. She valued her son more than anything, so how could she tolerate her daughter-in-law's rude questioning? She took a step forward, raised her hand and slapped her at Zhuo, "Zhuo, you are presumptuous!"

Zhuo was not in a hurry to be on guard and was weak, so he was slapped on the ground.

"Madam?!" Mi'er exclaimed, and rushed over to help Zhuo. Zhuo stood up with Mi'er's arm, raised his hand and touched the blood at the corner of his lips, looked at her husband and son who were deaf, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, murmured, "I've had enough...Mi'er, let's go." Since her wife and mother failed so much, then...

Mi'er nodded repeatedly, helped Zhuo and walked out.

After the two of them took a few steps, Shangguan Chengyi's angry voice came from Shenhou, "Where have you been?"

Zhuo looked back at him, shook his head and said, "I will stay there in the future and will not get in the way of the old lady's eyes again." The meaning of this was that Shu Guan became a monk.

"Stop!" Shangguan Chengyi said sternly, "Come here, please go back to your room!"

"Princess!" When he heard the news from Zhuo, Chu Ling was taking Xiao Yan'er to shopping in Pingjing. Xue Yuan hurried over, with a lot of sweat beads on his forehead. It was obvious that he had found them for a lot of time. Xiao Yan'er smiled and said, "Xue Yuan, what happened to make you so anxious?"

Xue Yuan raised her hand and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, sighed and said, "It's true that something big happened, princess, something happened to Mrs. Shangguan."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ling's expression changed slightly, and she frowned slightly and said, "I thought Shangguan Chengyi was a smart person." Since she expressed her interest in Mrs. Shangguan Chengyi, at least in a short period of time, Shangguan Chengyi should not let Mrs. Shangguan have any trouble. Unexpectedly, something happened just a few days later?

"What's going on?"

Xue Yuan whispered, "Madam Shangguan is locked up." She approached Chu Ling and quickly told the matter. Chu Ling was fine, but Xiao Yan'er was already furious, "Sister A Ling, look at me and said that old guy is not a good thing!"

Chu Ling looked at her helplessly, "Yan'er, don't be impatient."

Xiao Yan'er was depressed, "It's all like this, why can you still not be impatient? I'm about to get excited!" Chu Ling said, "What else do you do? I'll take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion and snatch Mrs. Zhuo out?" Xiao Yan'er looked at her with bright eyes, obviously this proposal made her very moved.

Chu Ling twitched helplessly and sighed, "Don't make trouble, I will deal with this matter." Xiao Yan'er was a little worried, "Sister A Ling, hurry up. If Mrs. Zhuo is tortured to death by them, it would be too late."

Chu Ling looked at Xiao Yan'er's worried look, couldn't help pinching her cheek, and chuckled, "Yan'er is such a good girl." Xiao Yan'er glared at her with her cheeks. Chu Ling couldn't help poking it with her fingers, which scared Xiao Yan'er quickly covered her cheek and jumped away.

After teasing Xiao Yan'er for a few words, the smile on Chu Ling's face gradually faded. She looked at Xue Yuan and said, "Who did the news come out?" She did not make people pay special attention to Mrs. Zhuo's affairs. As soon as Mrs. Zhuo was locked up, the princess's mansion received the news, which was a bit too much loss.

Xue Yuan whispered, "It was the news sent by the Duke of Xiangguo. She also sent a girl named Mier, who said she was Mrs. Zhuo's personal maid."

Chu Ling was a little surprised, "Auntie?" Chu Ling always felt that the wife of Duke Xiangguo did not like to manage things and was calm, but now it seems that it is also interesting.

Xue Yuan nodded, Chu Ling nodded and said, "I understand, let's go back."

The group returned to the princess's mansion, and Mi'er was already waiting for them in the hall. As soon as she saw Chu Ling coming in, Mi'er rushed to her feet and cried, "I beg the princess to save our wife!"

Chu Ling leaned over and pulled her up, whispering, "Don't be anxious, how is Mrs. Zhuo now?"

Mi'er's eyes had long been crying red and swollen, and her little face was covered with messy tears. After hearing Chu Ling's words, she sobbed, "Master... The Master locked up the lady. The lady is still sick and has not eaten for more than a day. The old lady... The old lady hates her to contradict the master and does not allow me to boil medicine for her lady. Woo woo..."

Chu Ling frowned and said, "Contradict?" Mrs. Zhuo endured it for so many years, but why did she suddenly contradict Shangguan Chengyi?

Mier sobbed and told the story, "Although the master asked the doctor to show his wife, the old lady did not allow her to take care of her, nor did she allow her to decoct her medicine. The lady was hungry and simmered on the bed. Seeing that the wife was already burning, I risked my life to sneak out and ask to see the wife of Duke Xiangguo. The lady said, the princess...the princess is a good person."

Chu Ling was a little surprised. This girl looked very smart. It was not easy to enter the princess's mansion, but Mrs. Zhuo must have had a deal with Mrs. Xiangguo. It would be easier for the people around her to meet Mrs. Zhuo in the name of Mrs. Zhuo.

"I remember, the second young master Shangguan was at home?" Chu Ling said.

Mi'er smiled bitterly and said, "Second Young Master...Second Young Master..." She didn't seem to know what to say, but it was obvious that the second young master of Shangguan's family could not help her mother anywhere.

"Princess, I beg you to save my wife. Although I am useless, I am willing to repay the princess's great kindness and virtue even if I fight to the death." Mi'er said and knelt down again and kowtowed hard to Chu Ling. Bai Er Xueyuan next to her immediately stepped forward and grabbed her, "Don't be afraid, since the princess is back, she will not be saved by death."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to Shangguan's house to meet Mrs. Zhuo first, and then make a decision."

"Thank you...thank you princess."

Since locking up Zhuo yesterday, Shangguan Chengyi felt very uneasy. He got off the court early in the morning and walked back and forth in the study. When he remembered what happened yesterday, Shangguan Chengyi couldn't help but sigh. He knew that his mother's temperament was indeed a bit too much. But Zhuo had to go to become a monk because of this, which was too much. The wife of the head of the family sent a monk, so how could the people of Pingjing look at the Shangguan family?

Shangguan Chengyi frowned and thought, and turned around and wanted to persuade his mother. There was also a wife. When she calmed down, let Ru'er persuade him.

"Master." The housekeeper hurried in and reported with a strange expression, "Master, the princess is here."

Shangguan Chengyi was stunned, "Princess? Which princess?"

The manager was speechless, "God bless the princess." Isn't this only one princess in the court now? What's wrong with the master?

Shangguan Chengyi frowned and said, "Princess God Bless? What are she doing?" Shangguan Chengyi felt that the princess Shen Blessing was afraid that the person who came was not good and did not want to see her. "Just say I'm not here." The housekeeper said with a bitter face, "The princess said that she and her wife made an appointment to come to her for questions."

"What?!" Shangguan Chengyi's heart sank. It turns out that he was afraid of anything he was going to come. The housekeeper looked at Shangguan Chengyi and said, "Master, where is the princess... I'm going back and said that the wife is in poor health?"
