A good nature is not perfect, and people are endlessly beautiful.

"Forgive me for not agreeing with my grandmother's opinion." Pei Shu frowned slightly, then calmly said,

"Those who see small evils but fail to eliminate them, causing others to accumulate small evils and become big evils, and those who claim to be tolerant, are they not guilty?"

Mrs. Wang changed her kindness and gave a cold voice, with a bit of anger on her face: "Why, do you think I am also guilty?"

"Grandma's words are serious. A son should not tell his father's faults. You are the elder." There was a hint of coldness in Pei Shu's voice.

"My granddaughter just can't bear to watch you go astray because of a moment of weakness. This is extremely unfilial."

"What's the crossroads?" Wang choked in one breath and said with heavy eyebrows,

"Isn't the implication of your words accusing me of favoritism and connivance, and of bringing about a corrupt government atmosphere? What do you mean, don't you understand when you look at me?"

Pei Shu said coolly: "How dare you."

"I think you are very brave." Mrs. Wang put the celadon tea bowl on the sandalwood table and made a crisp sound: "Is the queen determined to refute me?"

After all, she had been a mistress for decades, and with just one inadvertent move, she felt a sense of oppression.

Pei Shu looked directly at the old lady with an angry face, her gaze never retreating.

"What my grandmother said about nature is not perfect, and people are infinitely beautiful. I vaguely remember that it comes from Volume 1 of the Book of Sages. My grandmother must have read that in Volume 5 of the same book of sages, it is said that if the ruler is not upright and the ministers are treacherous, it is the fault of the ruler.

There is no private gossip on the part of the superior, it is the merit of the superior.”

Mrs. Wang, who has always been very stable in matters, almost laughed out loud at her. This was a roundabout way of criticizing her for not being upright and praising herself for being selfless.

When Pei Shu spoke again, it was as if a sharp sword was unsheathed: "Since my granddaughter holds the position of master, she represents the interests of the entire ethnic group. Every decision she makes, from the small things she handles at home, should be based on a moral integrity."

just."

"Even if it's just a servant."

"Grandma, don't underestimate it. A thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest, and I don't want your Shouan Hall to be the beginning of the embankment's collapse."

Several big hats were pulled down, leaving almost no room for Wang to speak.

Wang was speechless for a long time, feeling extremely embarrassed and strangely relieved.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this granddaughter of hers was so smart, so impeccable in her conduct, and so reasonable and well-founded that no one could argue with her.

Pei Shu knew very well how to intimidate one's power and slow one's affection. After speaking freely, her expression immediately softened, and her voice was as soft as the spring breeze blowing on her face.

"Unless your granddaughter insists on making you unhappy, women have been in trouble since ancient times. You have to be considerate of the difficulties your granddaughter has when she first takes power."

"Grandma, why would you hurt the relationship between you and our grandson by asking for a girl? That Zhucui is just a little smart. Your status is unparalleled. My granddaughter doesn't believe in such a big imperial capital, and there are still few people to like.

."

"It's not a big deal. If one of them doesn't work, just change it to the other one. Your granddaughter will keep it until you are satisfied." This was the glimmer of respect that Pei Shu showed her in return.

The steps are given. It depends on how Wang thinks about whether he should go down the stairs or not.

On the surface, Wang is protecting Zhucui, but in fact, what she wants to protect and what she wants to fight for is her own prestige and dignity.

Under the calm water, there is a battle for authority with flashes of swords and shadows.

If Pei Shu cannot move Zhu Cui, it means that she is sending a message to the outside world.

——In Pei Mansion, Shou'an Hall is the supreme existence. Even if the female monarch is facing the old lady, she has to step back three feet.

vice versa.

After thinking for a long time, Wang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Pei Shu, twirled the beads in her hand and said,

"Mr. Chu has raised you very well." It's a pity that you are born a daughter, and the title of head of the family should be inherited by your direct grandson.

As he got older, he felt a little tired after talking for a while. Wang rubbed his brows and said he was sleepy.

Pei Shu helped people into the inner room before leaving Shou'an Hall.

When I left, I didn't take Zhucui away on the spot. I had already made it clear that Wang would send someone to deliver it. This was a way to gain some respect, which was really appropriate.

As soon as Pei Shu walked away, Aunt Zhu, who was beside Wang, tiptoed to the bed and whispered.

Wang half-closed his eyes to listen to what she had to say, and waved his hands with a complicated expression.

He was really neither arrogant nor impetuous. He had the upper hand in the competition with this old lady like her. He didn't show any complacency at all. Instead, he cared about her face in every detail.

The demeanor of a gentleman is immediately before your eyes.

Mrs. Wang felt sad, it was a pity, it was a pity, it would have been better if she was a man...

At the same time, in a hidden corner of the courtyard, a maid in green bowed deeply towards the direction of Zhilanju.

Since yesterday Xiaoqing was taken to Zhilanju, today there has been a great deal of fanfare in punishing the evil servant who was backed by someone behind him.

It is not difficult to conclude that Nujun has verified Wangcai's various crimes, and those who have been persecuted by him have mixed feelings.

How uneasy I felt.

It is certainly worthy of applause for a female monarch to come forward to uphold justice and severely punish evil slaves, but if they are asked to come forward to testify, they will be reluctant to do so.

Once it is disclosed in front of others, it means that the innocence is no longer there.

From now on, an unclean person will never have the opportunity to serve his master closely. Even if he is sent to rinse the night incense bucket, he will be considered dirty.

Not to mention getting married.

Your whole life will be ruined!

The master's ingenious handling not only avenged them, but also saved their reputation. It is unheard of for a master to take such care and consideration for his servants, let alone rare.

The victims of suffering are naturally very grateful and wish they could repay the Lord with their own lives.

It's a pity that they are not from Zhilanju.

Little did he know, the opportunity was already on its way.

When Pei Shu returned to Zhilan Residence, she immediately asked the accountant to pay a pension for burial expenses and sent someone to the North Courtyard.

Qiuye was from Beiyuan, so the second branch of the ward had to notify his family to collect the bones.

It's been a long time and no one has come over there, maybe I haven't received the letter yet.

The layout of the Duke's mansion is in the shape of an irregular quadrilateral. In the front yard to the south is Pei Shu's Zhilan Residence, to the east is the old lady's Shou'an Hall, and to the west is Qin's sister Yu.

There are various side courtyards between several large courtyards, with teaching grounds and staff rooms scattered among them.

The north courtyard where the second bedroom is located is at the deepest point, with pavilions, waterside pavilions and winding corridors in the middle connecting several large and small forest gardens and flower beds. It takes half an hour to walk around in a winding way.

Back then, Pei Yuanxu insisted on marrying a brothel girl. The old man was so angry that he wanted to exterminate him and drive him out.

Aunt Lan knelt down and begged for several days, and finally she got the old Duke's special kindness and ordered that the second wife and her family be moved to the remote North Courtyard.

The main gate is no longer open, and a corner gate is carved to the north for the whole family to enter and exit.

The second uncle's family almost never come here, and they send servants to pick them up every time they use them. Qiuye was the one who met when he came to pick up spring clothes.

Although the two rooms are in the same house, they are clearly separated by a world.

After sending people to the North Courtyard, Pei Shu read a few names into Yunlu's ear, asking her to take care of them as much as possible.
