16. Save Mother 4
In addition, the Huang family is the principal wife after all. In a wealthy family, the eldest son, as the head of the family, must maintain the majesty and face of the principal family.
The reputation of the main wife is related to the reputation of the entire Pei family, and also to the official reputation of Mr. Pei. In ancient times, it was important to govern the country with the family together, and scandals in the officials' families would affect their reputation.
Therefore, Mr. Pei issued a hush-hush order, not allowing anyone to spread what happened today.
In Mr. Pei's mind, Hongxia is his woman. Now that Hongxia has been tainted by others, keeping her will damage his dignity as a man.
No matter how hard I argued, I could not resist the cruelty of feudal etiquette.
An Xiaoqing thought about these joints thoroughly. She was heartbroken and helpless at the same time. She slowly knelt down in front of Mr. Pei, with tears streaming down her face.
"Xiaoqing, forget it, don't beg him for my mother!"
There was a look of despair in Hongxia's eyes. She had long been determined to die. Her unbearable identity and unbearable past had brought shame to her daughter. She would not drag her daughter down, and she did not want her daughter to be humiliated for her.
"You are not my mother. My mother Hongxia died more than ten years ago." An Xiaoqing suddenly turned around and cried.
Hongxia was stunned when she heard this, and looked at An Xiaoqing in disbelief. Her heart felt like a sharp knife had been stabbed, and blood was dripping from her heart.
The sarcasm on Mrs. Huang's lips was even worse. Just now, she showed a loving mother and a filial daughter, as if she wanted to fight for Hongxia's reasons. Now she immediately changed her face for her own future. Huh, what did you think?
She is a loyal and filial daughter, but she is also a selfish person.
Mr. Pei was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
This daughter dares to love and hate, and knows how to weigh advantages and disadvantages. Although she is a bit cruel, she has the mind and courage to do big things. When she comes to a wealthy family, such nimble skills can not only protect herself, but also make waves.
.
Jingyi held the crumbling Hongxia and cried: "Xiaoqing, you can't lose your conscience. If you don't recognize your biological mother, you will be punished by heaven."
"Aunt Jingyi, why are you so confused? Have you forgotten what happened more than ten years ago? She is not my mother Hongxia, she is just my wet nurse. My mother Hongxia died in childbirth fifteen years ago
Yes, it was my nanny who raised me single-handedly. She just looks like my mother, so I call her mother."
An Xiaoqing looked at Jingyi momentarily, hoping that Jingyi could understand her painstaking efforts and intentions.
Mr. Pei was startled when he heard this, then a smile appeared on his lips, he looked at Hongxia carefully and said:
"If you don't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed. It is indeed somewhat similar to Hongxia. It's not Hongxia. Is she your nanny?"
She is not Hongxia, that is, she is not Mr. Pei's woman. What happened to her does not damage Mr. Pei's face, nor does it damage An Xiaoqing's identity and reputation. It is just the filth among the servants that has an impact on the reputation of the Pei family.
Not big either.
Furthermore, since she is An Xiaoqing's nanny, according to common sense, she must be classified under An Xiaoqing's name. She is An Xiaoqing's person, and An Xiaoqing also has a certain say in how to deal with it.
This is equivalent to giving Hongxia a way out.
This also meant that Hongxia's path to power was cut off, and she would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Huang family. Huang's jealousy would no longer be aroused. This suggestion was also within the scope of Huang's acceptance.
What a coup.
After thinking through this, the eldest man admired this daughter more and more. She was brave, resourceful, and decisive, and she did things without any sloppiness.
