After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Can't blame him.

After all, from ancient times to the present, no real man can remain calm when faced with such things.

As the person reporting the news, he might very well become the one who blows up the pit, and if he is not careful, he might be smashed to pieces.

Pei Xiao quickly lost his patience, slapped the table, and stared at him with sharp eyes:

"You can't even speak, right? Should I get a steward who can speak fluently?"

The housekeeper was so shocked that he dared not hide it anymore.

He simply closed his eyes and made up his mind, speaking rapidly:

"It is said that the Marquis is not at home all year round, and the lady is lonely in her boudoir and commits adultery with the servant He Wang. Otherwise, the two of them would not be in the same room, and He Wang would not be bold enough to kill people and set fire to things..."

Pei Xiao couldn't hear what was said afterwards.

Only the words "The lady was lonely in her boudoir and committed adultery with a servant" played in a loop in her ears, and the debauched scene of Zhang and a servant making love in bed automatically emerged in her mind.

This wasn't the first time this had happened to him.

He once had a favorite concubine named Yao, who committed adultery with a guard. He caught her in bed and executed her immediately.

But a concubine and a wife are completely different.

A wife is equal to you.

His wife is one with him and represents the face of him, Marquis of Jingnan!

Zhang actually committed adultery with a lowly servant, and the news became known to the whole city!

He didn't dare to imagine how others talked about him behind his back, and how many people he would have to face from now on, looking at him openly or secretly like they did today, and silently laughing at him in their hearts.

The looks of everyone in the Ministry of War just now and Minister Qian's meaningful ridicule were infinitely magnified in his mind, turning into a huge sense of shame that overwhelmed him.

It was at this time that Zhang came rushing over crying.

No one dared to tell her that the rumor of her adultery with He Wang had now spread throughout the city.

Yesterday, she suffered the greatest humiliation she had ever experienced in her life.

Not only was she bruised all over, but her clothes were also torn apart by the scuffling. I'm afraid this incident will become a joke among the ladies' circle for the next decade or so.

But she had no time to be sad.

Nanny Li brought a famous doctor from the capital, and she had to make sure that the doctor didn't talk nonsense while taking Pei Jin's pulse.

The background of Cihang Temple is unfathomable, and she is no longer sure that she can kill Chen Qingzhu to silence him.

Therefore, the poisoning incident must not be exposed to the direct descendants of the Zhang family.

Otherwise, Chen Qingzhu would soon be implicated. Whether to save her life or because she had already broken off relations with her, Chen Qingzhu would inevitably reveal her secrets.

By then, neither the direct branch of the Zhang family nor the Marquis of Jingnan will be able to tolerate her.

The matter was of great importance, so she spent a huge amount of money, directly offering a silver note of 12,000 taels, and using threats and inducements to get the doctor to agree to diagnose Pei Jin with a disease of muscular atrophy caused by congenital deficiency.

With the reputation of this famous doctor in the capital as a guarantee, the direct descendants of the Zhang family should no longer suspect poisoning.

I finally resolved the matter, but I had nightmares all night because of yesterday's humiliation.

When he woke up from a daze, he heard a servant come back to report that the Marquis had returned from patrol.

After suffering such a great humiliation, Zhang naturally wanted to take revenge on the person behind the incident.

Even if he couldn't, he would still kill those Taoist nuns in Cihang Temple to vent his anger.

She was a woman and did not have the ability to influence the officials in the court of Southern Capital too much, but it was different for the Marquis.

He is a first-rank marquis and holds the military power of Southern Capital, making him extremely important in the entire Southern Capital city.

This concerns the reputation of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion. As long as she behaves pitifully enough, the Marquis will be enraged and stand up for her.

Thinking of this, she dressed herself up like a frail and weak woman, and went straight to the outer courtyard.

As soon as I saw Marquis Jingnan, tears started flowing before I could say a word.

She raised her tearful face and looked at Pei Xiao pitifully:

"My Lord, you are finally back. I..."

She thought Pei Xiao would definitely feel pity for such a weak and pitiful girl, but she didn't expect that what greeted her was a powerful slap from Pei Xiao.
