After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"What's the matter with the wound on Uncle's face?"

She first tried hard to maintain her mask and expressed her concern attentively.

However, both Pei Xiao and the people around him said vaguely that he fell accidentally.

Seeing that Pei Xiao obviously didn't want anyone to continue questioning him, she tactfully stopped asking.

Early the next morning, he immediately sent people out to find out the news.

Soon, rumors spread that Jingnan Bo had fallen and bled while chasing a woman in Taihe Tower.

Zhang suddenly felt her head buzzing.

The shopkeeper of Taihe Tower was immediately summoned for questioning and more detailed information was revealed.

But things are different now. Pei Xiao used to go to the military camp often, so it was convenient for her to do whatever she wanted at home.

Today, Pei Xiao came to see her and happened to catch her interrogating the owner of Taihe Building.

Seeing the owner of Taihe Building kneeling in the hall and answering tremblingly, Pei Xiao's face suddenly darkened.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Thinking that Zhang would find out about the embarrassment he had suffered in Taihe Building, Pei Xiao found it difficult to remain calm, so his tone of voice was almost interrogative.

Seeing this, Zhang became even more angry.

Even though she had always been patient, she couldn't hold back her pride at this moment.

She didn't dare to think about it at all. Yesterday's incident had caused such a big fuss that it would surely soon reach the ears of the officials' families.

Especially yesterday she said that Pei Xiao would come to pick her up, making so many people envy Pei Xiao's love for her.

Pei Xiao's absence was embarrassing enough for her.

If those people knew the reason why Pei Xiao was absent, they would probably laugh at her behind her back.

When Zhang, who had been so glorious since returning to the capital, thought of such a scene, she was furious.

What bothered her even more was that even though she had put so much thought into Pei Xiao, taking into account his appearance, mentality and even sexual skills, Pei Xiao had never lost his composure like this because of her.

That bitch Chen Qingzhu!

After all these years, that bitch has charmed her husband again!

"How dare you question me, sir? Don't you know what shameful thing you have done?"

It was rare that Zhang became sharp-tongued in front of Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao was already very angry when he thought of the humiliating scenes of yesterday. Now that Zhang had ruthlessly exposed his shortcomings, he was overwhelmed by shame and anger.

He has been tolerant enough towards Zhang, but now she is getting even more demanding!

He was fed up with this life of relying on others and fawning on them!

At this moment, Pei Xiao didn't want to endure it any longer.

So, he looked at Zhang with cold eyes and said:

"Yes, I went after Xiao Zhu, so what? As the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan and the only sister of the Imperial Concubine, do you think she would be known as a jealous woman during pregnancy?"

Which pregnant wife is as pretentious as her? She can't serve her husband herself, and she also wants to monopolize others to serve her.

The fact that the Imperial Concubine was the only one in the palace who could give birth was enough to arouse suspicion.

Now, so many eyes are staring at the Imperial Concubine. Her elder sister's reputation for jealousy will also affect the Imperial Concubine. He doesn't believe that Zhang doesn't care.

Seeing Pei Xiao being so confident and even threatening her, Zhang felt that the rage instantly burned from her chest to the top of her head.

Sure enough, all his indulgence and pampering after she became pregnant was due to the disguise of Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi.

Now, in a rage, he finally told the truth.

For the sake of a cheap woman, he completely forgot that she was still entertaining guests for the Earl's Mansion with a big belly, and forgot how difficult it was for her to be pregnant with this baby, and he actually hurt her heart so unscrupulously!

"Good! What a great Jingnan Marquis, to treat me like this for a concubine!"

Zhang was so angry that her hands were shaking.

Since he had trampled on her years of hard work and affection, why should she bother maintaining this relationship?

In the past, she was too easy-going, which is why Pei Xiao still didn't take her seriously even in his current situation.

She was determined to teach Pei Xiao a lesson, and after she finished speaking, she covered her stomach and frowned in pain.

"Oh, my stomach hurts!"

The servants who served Zhang personally quickly and nervously surrounded her. Even Pei Xiao's anger suddenly subsided and he looked at Zhang nervously.

He had already had many children, so he knew that even in the last trimester of pregnancy, it was easy to have a miscarriage due to excessive emotions.

The doctor came to see the patient soon.

Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with Madam Bo's pregnancy after taking her pulse, her demeanor told him that he shouldn't say that.

So he said:

"Madam Bo is so angry that she has a miscarriage. She needs to rest well. People around her please don't make her angry again!"

The next day, Eunuch Liu from the Imperial Concubine's Palace came.

He brought a bunch of tonic herbs to greet Zhang, but when he spoke to Pei Xiao, he sounded like he was calling for an explanation:

"My Lord, our Imperial Concubine said that she only has this one sister, and now she is pregnant and suffering so much, no matter how big the problem is, it can't be more important than her body. May I ask what happened in your house that made your wife so angry that she had a miscarriage?"

A day later, Pei Xiao's sanity had gradually returned, so when faced with Eunuch Liu's questioning, his attitude returned to a somewhat humble and polite one.

"It's just a misunderstanding. Please rest assured, Royal Concubine. From now on, everyone in the Earl's Mansion will take better care of Madam and will not let her make any mistakes again."

However, Eunuch Liu followed the order of Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi and did not allow him to evade the issue:

"Such a serious matter cannot be explained away by a simple misunderstanding, right? If Master Bo doesn't give a clear explanation, the Imperial Concubine will not let it go."

Seeing Zhang holding a teacup, sitting beside him and watching him being questioned with a smile on her face, Pei Xiao clenched his fists in humiliation.

The events that had been passed down for a hundred years in the Bo Mansion had spread to the palace in just one day.

That would have been fine. Since Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi had sent someone, it meant that she already knew everything. However, she allowed the eunuch to ask questions again and again, simply to humiliate him and make him give a satisfactory answer to what happened the day before.

It's so aggressive that it makes people extremely disgusted!

But he couldn't gamble with the century-old foundation of the Bo family.

In this case... Xiao Zhu will have to endure it for the time being.

"Eunuch Liu, it was really a misunderstanding. Madam has had a poor appetite since she became pregnant, and I ran into Aunt Chen who is a good cook in Taihe Building. I was anxious to catch her back to serve Madam, but I made a fool of myself in a hurry. After I came back, Madam misunderstood my good intentions, and that's why we had some arguments."

"I will never do it again!"

Eunuch Liu did not expect that the woman who made Marquis Jingnan lose his composure was the concubine he had asked for at Cihang Temple in Nandu before.

"Oh? She actually came to the capital on her own initiative?"

He had thought that what the Cihang Temple had said before, that the person had gone to the South China Sea and would tell him when he came back, was just an excuse, but now it seemed to be true.

"In that case, then Lord Jingnan must be responsible for finding that concubine Chen and have her come back to serve my wife as soon as possible!"

"Of course."

Pei Xiao agreed readily.

Zhang has become unscrupulous now, and I wonder what means he will use to torture Xiao Zhu.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiao's heart was filled with regret and hatred towards the Zhang sisters.

Zhang, who was standing by, saw that Pei Xiao was humiliated, but had to agree to capture Chen Qingzhu to serve her personally. She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

From then on, he began to openly abuse his power in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion.
