"What's wrong with Madam Pei? Could it be that Sister Yuyan doesn't know how to do it?"

Pei Jiuniang looked serious.

"Then you are not kidding. You know that you are now on the road to exile because you were so arrogant before. Or you think Shen Yulang is too lonely in exile alone, so you want to go with Shen Yuyan to accompany him."

"I…"

Shen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

At the same time, Liu, who was originally furious, was also confused.

What language?

When did Pei Jiuniang learn to speak Fan language?

She teaches foreign languages ​​in the Imperial Academy?

Then how could her Lanzhi know that?

Pei Jiuniang felt a little relieved when she saw Shen's face suddenly changed. She turned around and saw Liu and Gu Tingzhi standing at the gate of the courtyard in surprise.

Liu hadn't been here for a long time, so when she came suddenly, she naturally guessed most of the things.

She chuckled and glanced at Liu's colorful face, her eyes fell on Gu Tingzhi, and she nodded slightly to him.

Gu Tingzhi also nodded at her and his eyes fell on Shen. His expression twisted slightly, but he had no intention of saying hello. After all, the last time he went to the Pei family, Gu Tingzhi said that he would have nothing to do with the Pei family in the future.

Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge's experiences in the Pei family have made him have no good feelings towards the Pei family.

Before coming, Liu told him that Shen was here, so he guessed that Shen would never come to see Jiu Niang and Yu Ge. As expected, he was right, she came for Shen Yuyan and Shen Yulang again.

He knew that after Shen Yulang was sentenced to exile, Shen's family had been trying to make arrangements but failed to change the outcome of exile.

Now Shen is not giving up and comes to Jiu Niang again. She is so shameless.

Thinking of this, the expression on Gu Tingzhi's face became more serious, even a little intimidating.

Shen naturally noticed it and became a little nervous, but she still relied on her status as the elder and would not bow her head.

Pei Jiuniang saw it all but refused to say a word.

Instead, he turned his gaze directly to Liu.

"Mother hasn't come to visit her daughter-in-law for a long time. Didn't you know today?"

Liu opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she heard Gu Tingzhi say, "She heard that you were going to give up the position of Imperial College Master and official position to someone else, and she couldn't wait..."

"I..." Liu was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Tingzhi to say it directly, but in the end she didn't refute it.

In her opinion, since Pei Jiuniang has married into the Marquis's Mansion, everything belongs to the Marquis's Mansion, and all her things belong to the Marquis's Mansion.

"I see. Mother is doing this for my aunt. It's not impossible. As I said before, if my aunt can do it, then I can do it too."

Pei Jiuniang smiled contemptuously.

One by one, they thought she was blown by the wind and came to snatch her away before she could even sit down.

It really gives them face.

"What's your attitude, Pei Jiuniang? Don't think you're great just because you can speak a few words of foreign language. It's just some bird language. Do you think you can be appointed to an official position just by speaking a few words of bird language? What do you rely on? Isn't it because of the Marquis' Mansion and my son's military achievements?"

Pei Jiuniang was so angry that she laughed, "Yes, I rely on the Marquis' Mansion and his military achievements, so as his sister, it's OK. Why do you have to beg me?"

"You?" Liu was really furious. She pointed at Pei Jiuniang and cursed her more and more harshly. "Don't be shameless. If I wasn't afraid that you would cheat on my son, I wouldn't... I didn't say it before because of my son's face, and I also wanted to save your face. Do you want me to tell your ugly deeds in public?"

"I cheated on you? When? Where? With whom? Please explain clearly. If I, Pei Jiuniang, really did it, I will ask to leave the marriage. But if I didn't do it, but you are slandering me, then no one can let this matter go."

"Yes, mother, tell me exactly when, where, and with whom. If she really did it, I will never tolerate it."

Gu Tingzhi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Liu was a little panicked. She had just spoken without thinking, but facing the questioning of Pei Jiuniang and Gu Tingzhi, she couldn't bring herself to say that she was talking nonsense, so she had to shout loudly, "You asked me about what you did, don't you have any idea in your mind?

I feel ashamed for you even if you tell me this? How dare you ask me this? "

"If I were you, I would have hanged myself with a rope long ago."

Liu spoke louder and louder. She knew Pei Jiuniang was very concerned about her reputation, so she said this on purpose because she must be scared and feeling guilty.

But Pei Jiuniang remained calm from beginning to end, and even asked her with a smile, "You said you were hiding, but you didn't tell me where, when, or with whom?

Are you unable to bear to see me, your daughter-in-law who brings shame to you, leave?

Or are you simply unable to say it? You want to slander me with your white teeth and willow, do you know what you are doing?

"Defaming the reputation of an official's family is punishable by severe punishment?"

Hearing this, Liu was a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down and bluffed, "Don't scare me. I'm your mother-in-law, your elder..."

"So elders can just make up lies and slander people's innocence?"

Pei Jiuniang put away her expression and looked cold and terrifying.

Liu didn't dare to look her in the eye. Her eyes were evasive and she stammered, trying to avoid him, but Gu Tingzhi refused to give her a chance.

"I believe that you definitely did not make up this story intentionally to slander her. You are my mother, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. How could you do such a thing? So, mother, tell me, when? Where? With whom?!" Liu was speechless for a moment, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't utter a word.

At first she was puzzled as to why her son, who had always been at odds with her, suddenly changed his ways and trusted her, but she soon realized that Gu Tingzhi did it on purpose.

For Pei Jiuniang, he wanted to embarrass his mother.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was about to scold him loudly, but Gu Tingzhi spoke again with a gloomy face.

"So mother, you actually know nothing. You just want Jiu Niang to obey you, so you can make up these words that are enough to destroy a person to slander her. Mother, you are the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, how can you do this?"

In fact, Gu Tingzhi has always known what kind of person Liu was, but he thought that after so many years, Liu could not be as vulgar as before. However, he did not expect that he still overestimated her.

Sometimes he wondered, if he had not firmly believed in Pei Jiuniang, and she had met a foolishly filial son, or someone who was not familiar with her, would she have harbored a grudge against her because of Liu's words.

His mother, she is also a woman, so she must know how important reputation is to a woman.

How could she?

The more Gu Tingzhi thought about it, the more heartbroken he became, and the more uncomfortable he felt.

She didn't even dare to think about how Pei Jiuniang had to humble herself and make compromises in order to maintain superficial peace in the Marquis' Mansion over the past years.

"You, I, what did I say? I was just afraid that she would cheat on me. After all, what is a woman doing in the Imperial College? Isn't it to find a man..."

Liu avoided her gaze.

"Looking for a man? Then why did you let Gu Lanzhi go? Aren't you afraid that she will find a man?"

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? She's your sister, how can she be compared to your sister?"

Liu was feeling somewhat guilty at first, but when she heard Gu Tingzhi belittling Gu Lanzhi, she suddenly became agitated, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she immediately started to show her teeth and claws.

As he spoke, he glared at Pei Jiuniang who was standing beside him fiercely, "It's all your fault. I just wanted you to recommend Lanzhi to the Imperial College, but you refused. You even tried to sow discord between us mother and son. I really regret that I wanted to marry you as my daughter-in-law. You have made this whole mansion a mess. Are you so proud of yourself?"

"Don't put such a big blame on me. The relationship between you and your son is caused by your own partiality. Also, if you slander me, my rebuttal is provocation, so I admit it.

But you keep saying that I cheated on you, but you can't explain why. Why? Don't you think that all the women who enter the Imperial College have other purposes?"

"So what?"

Liu was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

But it really pissed her off.

Pei Jiuniang is becoming increasingly difficult to control.

Why did she feel that Pei Jiuniang was under the control of Shen Shi and was easy to control?

If I had known this earlier, I would not have married her.

regret.

She felt that marrying Pei Jiuniang was the worst thing she had ever done in her life.

"Oh, so you really think so. So, in your eyes, any woman who goes to the Imperial College is not a good wife. Then, doesn't that mean the princess is the same? Or do you think the princess is not as good as your Gu Lanzhi? I don't know if Gu Lanzhi is so shameless. I can ask the princess in person some other day."

Pei Jiuniang continued to sneer.

At this point, if Liu still didn't realize that she had fallen into the trap set by Pei Jiuniang, she would be very stupid.

She was so angry that her face turned pale and blue, and she was about to faint, but she heard Pei Jiuniang ordering the people around her, "Go quickly, the old lady might faint again."

Hearing this, Liu, who was about to faint, froze for a moment and could only leave in a hurry with a colorful face.

As soon as she left, Shen spoke up, "Nineth Lady, I thought you were just being domineering in your natal family, but I didn't expect you to be so mad at your mother-in-law. Look how angry she is..."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute."

Pei Jiuniang looked at Shen with a cold face and almost forgot about her.

When Liu was slandering her just now, Shen was invisible the whole time, but now she comes out and jumps around.

That really gives her face.
