When Aunt Wang heard Mrs. Pei's openly mocking Pei Zhuoran, she turned around and hugged Right Prime Minister Pei's leg.
She was crying like a pear blossom, accusing: "Master, did you hear it? It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with the madam, but that the madam has always been dissatisfied with me. Yes, my status is humble and far inferior to the madam.
Pure and noble.
But Ran'er is your own flesh and blood, my lord, and your eldest son. Madam keeps saying that Ran'er is a useless waste, isn't she also scolding you for your incompetence in raising your son?"
Mrs. Pei sneered when she heard this and glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid immediately understood, stepped forward and slapped Aunt Wang hard on the face!
Prime Minister Pei didn't react for a moment. Seeing that Aunt Wang was slapped in front of him, he was a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Pei's domineering behavior and said, "Madam, are you slapping my husband in the face?"
"Husband, Aunt Wang's arrogant words almost angered His Majesty King Dingbei first. His Majesty is a murderer. If he was offended by this, he would use this opportunity to come to His Majesty and exaggerate what happened today.
It is said that the minor one will punish your husband for lax management of the family, and the serious one will affect the entire Pei family.
So this slap of mine is to teach Aunt Wang how to speak and act. When she goes out, it represents not just her, but the face of the entire Pei family. What do you think, husband?"
Prime Minister Pei didn't say anything for a while. Seeing this, Aunt Wang pulled at the corner of Prime Minister Pei's clothes and wanted to continue to cry miserably: "My lord..."
"Ms. Wang, what you did today was indeed very inappropriate. After all, you are just a concubine. If anything happens at home in the future, I will leave it to my wife to handle. The Pei family cannot afford to lose this person!"
Although Youxiang Pei dotes on this concubine, but compared to the rise and fall of the family, a concubine is nothing.
After teaching Aunt Wang a lesson, Pei Youxiang looked at Pei Duqin and said, "Qin'er, come with me to the study."
After arriving in the study, Pei Youxiang asked straight to the point: "Qin'er, are you really planning to return the dowry to Yan Mingzhu? No matter how she lived in the Pei family, since she married into the Pei family, as a daughter-in-law, this is who she is
You deserve it.
She is good. Not only did she reconcile with Ran'er, but she also cut off Ran'er's descendants. This not only cut off Ran'er's life, but also the face of our Pei family!"
Pei Duqin did not agree with his father's statement. Although Yan Mingzhu was ugly because of the birthmark on her face, this did not become the reason for Pei Zhuoran and others to abuse her overtly and covertly.
But he knew that if he spoke out such inner thoughts, his father would definitely be displeased.
He turned a corner and said in a different way: "Father, please be patient. If Yan Mingzhu wants to get her dowry back, she has to see if she has the ability."
Pei Youxiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Qin'er, what are your plans?"
"Father, you still remember that yesterday the Princess Anyang's Mansion sent an invitation. Her Royal Highness the Princess's birthday will be in three days."
Right Prime Minister Pei immediately understood what Pei Duqin meant, showed a pleased smile, and patted his shoulder, "Qin'er, the Pei family has lost face today. You must make up for it at the birthday banquet. You must not call him
After a guilty minister, he rode on the head of the Pei family."
"Father, don't worry, your son understands."
After Aunt Wang returned to the yard, there was a big fire, and the sound of crackling and breaking porcelain could be heard in the house.
"Bitch! Yan Mingzhu, this damn bitch, if it weren't for her, how could I be so unjustly accused today!"
Pei Ninghe hugged Aunt Wang's arm and said, "My dear, please don't get so angry because of a little bitch. The most important thing right now is, do we really want to return the dowry to Yan Mingzhu?"
Aunt Wang snorted: "The toad wants to eat swan meat. She has such a whim! After marrying my son, everything she owns should belong to me, the mother-in-law. She still wants to take it back, no way!"
As soon as the curse was finished, the maid came in and reported: "Auntie, the second master's attendant is here."
Although Aunt Wang was very dissatisfied with Pei Duqin, she did not dare to openly oppose Pei Duqin. This second son of the Pei family was not as modest as he appeared to be, but in fact he had many evil intentions.
Pei Duqin's attendant Maolin walked in from outside the house, raised his hand towards Aunt Wang and said: "Aunt Wang, on the order of the second young master, I came to inform my aunt about the gold and silver jewelry that my aunt had embezzled previously.
It must be delivered to the warehouse within three days."
When she heard the word embezzlement, Aunt Wang immediately became unhappy, "What does embezzlement mean? I am Yan Mingzhu's mother-in-law, so naturally all her things are used to honor me!"
Maolin rolled his eyes in his heart and said: "Our young master said, Yan Mingzhu was originally the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, and you should respect your aunt, but now she has reconciled with the eldest son, so what belongs to her,
It should be returned in full.
The Lord has already nodded and agreed to this matter. If Auntie cannot get it together within three days, she can go to the Lord and explain herself to the Lord. I will resign."
Aunt Wang's face was so angry that she picked up a tea cup and threw it over, "A lowly attendant dares to climb on my head, just wait for me!"
At this time, Pei Ninghe began to panic, "My dear, what should I do? Although Yan Mingzhu is ugly and can't be put on the stage, the dowry she brought to our family is all treasure.
In my daughter’s dowry, there are all the gold and silver jewelry that Yan Mingzhu brought, as well as the hairpin, earrings, and bracelets on my daughter’s head. These are all included in the dowry. My daughter is used to using them every day, so she can’t give them back!”
In fact, I am not used to it, but the gold and silver jewelry in Yan Mingzhu's trousseau, each of which is very expensive, Pei Ninghe took it for himself before, wore it on her body, and showed off in the circle of noble ladies all day long.
As a concubine, where did she get such expensive jewelry to wear? If all of them were returned to Yan Mingzhu, would she still have the capital to show off in the circle of noble ladies in the future?
Aunt Wang is exactly the same as Pei Ninghe. After taking Yan Mingzhu's dowry as her own, she took out the valuable jewelry in the dowry and wore it herself with peace of mind.
Moreover, she has always been extravagant. Taking advantage of Yan Mingzhu's generous dowry, she spent a lot on food and clothing.
She was just a concubine, and her monthly salary was just this little, and there was no surplus at all. Now Pei Duqin asked them to spit out all the dowry they had embezzled, where would she go to spit it out?
Aunt Wang was also a little panicked, rubbing her hands, and suddenly an idea popped into her head, "The dowry that Yan Mingzhu brought included ten boxes, and there were so many gold and silver jewelry in them. She could remember everything.
Go to a small stall on the street, buy some defective products, and put them in a treasure box. The real ones and the fake ones are mixed together, who can tell?"
Even if Yan Mingzhu found out about it later by passing it off as a good one, how could she go to the Pei family to settle the score? If the Pei family could return the dowry to her, she would be moved!
Pei Ninghe was still a little worried: "My dear, if that bitch Yan Mingzhu wants to do an inventory in public, if he is discovered and the Pei family loses face, dad will settle the score with us."
Aunt Wang sneered, "Then let Yan Mingzhu have no chance to take stock and tell the step-in-law of the Earl of Pingchang's Palace about this. She doesn't want Yan Mingzhu to have a smooth life even more than we do!"
