After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Pei Jiuniang learned from the confidant in the courtyard that Liu had come, came back empty-handed, and left in anger.

"Well, is there anything else besides this?"

Pei Jiuniang asked casually while drinking tea.

She carefully reviewed the important events of her previous life and compared them with this life.

I found that many things will change, but some things will still happen.

But the results will be different.

So, she carefully marked specific things, mainly those that were not in her favor.

In her previous life, probably recently, something happened that was difficult for her to explain.

Zhong Rong's husband, Liu Xiao, for some unknown reason secretly hid her handkerchief and bellyband. Later, Zhong Rong found out about it and the two had a big fight and almost got divorced. Later, it was reported that Pei Jiuniang and Liu Xiao had an unclear relationship.

Even though she explained again and again that she and Liu Xiao were innocent, and even took the initiative to find Liu Xiao to testify, Liu Xiao remained silent.

This time, he was considered to have something to hide.

Once, Zhong Rong even went to the door and yelled at him, saying that Pei Jiuniang was a slut who had an affair and that Gu Tingzhi was cuckolded.

Some people even began to question Brother Yu's identity.

She knelt in Liu's yard, crying and explaining that she knew nothing about it, but Liu kept a stern face and said lightly, "Then why did she say that about you? And what about the bellyband?"

Pei Jiuniang was speechless. She knelt for three days and three nights without eating or drinking until she fainted.

In order to make Liu believe, he volunteered to go to the yamen for a confrontation.

Finally, it was Wensong who suggested that she hand over the money, saying that in this way Liu would believe that she was not having an affair.

Although she also wondered why she would believe it if she paid her dowry and the money earned from the shop, she still listened with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, Liu didn't pursue the matter any further, but her attitude towards her was different from before.

Then she felt relieved.

He was even more grateful to Wen Rong.

Thinking of everything that happened in her previous life, she couldn't help but sneer.

The more I think about it now, the more I feel like the whole thing is a setup.

Now that we know it might happen again.

Of course, we need to take precautions in advance.

What's more, Liu is very short of money recently.

The confidant was stunned for a moment and actually remembered something.

"When the old lady left, she suddenly had someone slap the maid who was in charge of washing clothes in the yard. The maid's face was swollen. But later, the old lady had someone reward the maid generously."

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang's face changed slightly, and then she couldn't help laughing.

The one who does the laundry?

It looks like it's her.

Caifeng and Cuiping beside them exchanged glances and then let their trusted nanny go first.

After the others left, the tailor and Cuiping could not help but speak.

"Madam, you really guessed it right. But what should we do next to arrest that maid and interrogate her?"

"No rush." ​​Pei Jiuniang said, thinking for a moment, "We have to wait for things to ferment."

After hearing this, Caifeng and Cuiping stopped talking.

after a few days.

As soon as Pei Jiuniang arrived at the Imperial College, she was blocked on the road by Zhong Rong.

Zhong Rong came aggressively, holding a handkerchief embroidered with small characters in her hand. When she saw Pei Jiuniang, she threw it directly in her face, and then pointed at Pei Jiuniang and cursed, "Pei Jiuniang, tell me, when did you hook up with Liu Xiao? You dare to give such private things to him. You are the wife of a marquis and a teacher of the Imperial College. You are so shameless. You are an adulterer and a whore."

Zhong Rong was hysterical, cursing loudly and harshly, which soon attracted a lot of people.

Romantic scandals are the most likely to attract people's attention, especially when the other party's identity is so important.

Soon someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is not true, is it?"

"How can it not be real? I found this handkerchief in my husband's study. He specially kept it in a rosewood box. I said he was always absent-minded recently, but I didn't expect that I would find it. Let's take a look at what is written on it."

As Zhong Rong spoke, she held up her handkerchief high and pointed to the nine words on it for everyone to see.

Then he said, "Everyone should know Pei's calligraphy. Isn't this Pei's calligraphy?"

Once these words were spoken, it almost confirmed the affair between Pei and Liu Xiao.

After all, Pei's calligraphy is unique.

But for some reason, Pei didn't seem to panic at all after being caught cheating. Instead, she looked calm and composed.

However, Zhong Rong took it as a provocation and became even more angry.

"Mrs. Pei Jiu, Liu Xiao has always been fond of you. If you also liked him, there would be a lot of possibilities before you got married. But you can't give up your status as a marquis' wife, and you keep Liu Xiao hanging.

Liu Xiao and I are already married, and you are also the wife of a noble marquis. Why did you do such a thing? Why did you deliberately seduce me? Why did you ruin my husband's future?"

Zhong Rong cried, she was not too stupid. Even if she hated Liu Xiao, she knew that she could not really divorce him. A divorced woman had no future, not to mention that they had a child.

But she didn't want to let Pei Jiuniang go.

Therefore, she had to make Pei Jiuniang despised and suspected of deliberate seduction.

"Speak up, I get it. You've done something shameless, and you have nothing to say, right?!"

Pei Jiuniang's silence obviously gave Zhong Rong more room to perform.

Seeing her jumping up and down, sometimes like a shrew and sometimes like a resentful woman, Pei Jiuniang couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? You still have the nerve to laugh?!"

For some reason, Zhong Rong felt a little strange when she didn't see Pei Jiuniang panicking or afraid.

It seemed that Pei Jiuniang didn't care at all, as if she had known this would happen.

No, she was pretending?!

Zhong Rong comforted herself.

"You asked me to speak but I didn't know what to say, so I could only laugh. As for what I was laughing at? Of course I was laughing at you."

"Laugh at me? What's so funny about me? Are you trying to make my husband divorce me and marry you? Are you dreaming?!"

Just as Zhong Rong finished shouting, a man suddenly rushed over. As soon as he came, he stood in front of Pei Jiuniang, pointed at Zhong Rong and cursed, "Look at what you look like, even street shrews are better than you, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Master Pei."

The person who came was Liu Xiao. He scolded Zhong Rong fiercely while looking at Pei Jiuniang lovingly.

Anyone who sees it will feel sentimental.

Everyone around was stunned.

Zhong Rong was furious. She laughed crazily and looked at Liu Xiao who was protecting Pei Jiuniang. "You, you are still protecting him and asking me to apologize to her. Why? Why should I apologize to a bitch who stole my husband away?"

"You, don't talk nonsense. Jiu Niang and I are innocent. It's definitely not what you think."

Having said that, he would look at Pei Jiuniang lovingly from time to time.

"Innocent? Then what do you think is going on? Why do you have her handkerchief? Do you dare to say that it is not hers?"

Zhong Rong held up her handkerchief, as if she felt it was not enough, and took out another letter.

When Liu Xiao saw this, his face changed drastically and he was about to snatch it away, but Zhong Rong opened it directly and read it out in front of everyone.

The content of the letter was naturally about Liu Xiao's admiration for Pei Jiuniang.
