A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The little maid's words resounded in the room.

The bustling main hall suddenly fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The second wife, who was talking to the ladies with a smile on her face, her face froze, and before she could fully react, she subconsciously said, "Outer room? What outer room?!"

The outer chamber is the outer chamber, the woman the second master keeps outside.

The little maid was confused by the second wife's question and said, "Just now a woman came to the gate of the Marquis Mansion with two children. When the two children saw the second master, they called them daddy..."

Swish.

The second wife turned green.

The old lady was sitting on the arhat couch, her face even uglier than that of the second lady, she was almost furious, "How could the second one raise an extra wife?! Don't be jealous when someone sees that the second one has been promoted, and deliberately makes trouble. Moth, ruin Lao Er’s reputation!”

"Call me out!"

The old lady's voice was sharp and she spoke urgently. She started coughing at the end of the sentence.

Shen Wan sat aside, her eyes wide open.

Xie Jingyan said he would go back after watching the excitement, and then the excitement came.

No need to ask, the second master's outer room came to the door, it must be that guy's work.

He didn't tell her beforehand. Fortunately, she was worried that she wouldn't find a chance to leak the matter to the second wife. As a result, he simply asked the outside room to come to the door with the children, and even came to congratulate him in front of a crowd. The door in front of all the guests not only allowed her to watch the excitement, but also those who came to send congratulatory gifts.

Seeing the second wife's green face, she stood up with suppressed anger and walked out quickly. The old lady's chest was rising and falling with anger. She was worried and quickly gave Sun's mother a wink, asking her to follow her out and watch.

There are several ladies in the room. Now you are looking at me and I am looking at you, not knowing what to do.

It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but the maids of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion did not shy away from outsiders like them when reporting the matter. However, the outsiders came to the door, and their master was still in the front yard. Even if he could hide it from them, he could not hide it from them. Master, you will always know, and there is no need to hide it.

But it would be too embarrassing for them to hear such a scandal. Although Mrs. Shen said that someone ruined Mr. Shen's reputation, she does not rule out the possibility, but it is not likely. After all, there are many people who have been promoted in Kyoto. Not long ago, Pingyang The fourth master of the Hou Mansion has been promoted two levels in a row, and he is also a weapons supervisor. He has real power and is even more prestigious than the second master Shen today. No one else has come to visit him, but the second master Shen has, and Mrs. Shen's reaction was also strange. If she really came to ruin Mr. Shen's reputation, calling her out would not stop the rumors. She would have to be sent to an official.

Even if the government can't find out who was appointed to ruin Mr. Shen's reputation, they can still make the person with ulterior motives suffer severely and beat him out... No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like trying to cover up.

The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand quickly and said, "It's a joke to the ladies."

One of the ladies smiled and said, "There are many famous people. We believe in Mr. Shen Er's character. It's getting late today, so we'll take our leave now and come back to say hello to you another day."

Several ladies stood up one after another, giving the old lady no chance to retain them. The old lady was not in the mood to retain them, so she immediately asked the fourth wife to escort them out of the house.

As soon as the ladies turned around, the old lady's face, which was trying its best to maintain a smile, dropped. Her expression was so ugly that she almost cut the outer room alive.

She knew that the second master had raised an aunt, and she also knew that the aunt had given birth to a pair of children for the second master. As long as the second master and his wife were harmonious in the Hou Mansion, and there were no concubines to disturb the inner house, the old lady would turn a blind eye. One eye, after all, the second master only has a pair of children, Shen Li and Shen Ying, which are too few. If something unexpected happens, they will be extinct. One or two more bastards are what the old lady is looking forward to.

It's just that the status of the foreign wife is too unbearable, she can turn a blind eye, but the second wife has a hard time, and Shen Jing, the second master takes a concubine and raises his aunt. As long as the other party's family background is innocent, Shen Jing will not say a word. , but Shen Jing would never agree to carry a brothel girl into the house.

The second master also knew in his heart that in order to keep the back house clean and not to anger Shen Jing, he simply kept her outside, but he had hidden it for so many years.

The old lady paid no attention to the outer chamber, but after Shen Li died unexpectedly, the second master didn't even have a bastard son, so the old lady became a little relaxed. If there is a legitimate son to inherit the family, it's okay to raise an illegitimate son. However, the second master only has one son at his knees. The mother-in-law who was born in a brothel and has no idea what kind of upbringing she has, has to be raised by her side, so that the old lady can rest assured.

The old lady came up with the idea of ​​taking back her little grandson, and asked the second master to deal with the outer room. With a mother with such an unworthy status, the little grandson will be criticized for the rest of his life, not to mention outside the house, but also as a maid inside the house. The young man would also look down upon her, but the second master was reluctant to let her go. After all, they had been in a relationship for more than ten years.

The old lady had thought about taking action directly. She was afraid of hurting the relationship between mother and son with the second master, so she had been hesitant until now. But the result was good, the aunt came directly to the door with her child!

If a minister in the court raises a concubine, his personal ethics are not good. If the imperial censor finds out, he will definitely impeach him. In addition, the eldest prince and the king of Jin are already fighting fiercely for the position of heir apparent. If the eldest prince is to catch this, he will definitely be impeached. The meeting will unite with the censor to impeach, and then not only the second master will be punished, but even King Cheng, who recommended the second master, will be implicated and reprimanded by the emperor.

The old lady fiddled with the beads in her hand quickly, her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Shen Wan saw the old lady's anger in her eyes. The worse the old lady was in a bad mood, the better she felt. She didn't know how many times she had praised Xie Jingyan in her heart.

His move made the outer chamber come directly to the door and put the second master on the stake.

Once the second master denies that he has raised an illegitimate wife, the two children are not his, and those two children will never take a step into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion again in this life, otherwise he will be deceiving the emperor.

But if you admit that outer chamber, there will be countless accusations against the second master's personal ethics in the Emperor's Long Case tomorrow. If such a scandal comes out just after being promoted, the Emperor will definitely be furious. When the time comes, No one knows what punishment the second master will receive.

The excitement was all in the front yard. Shen Wan got impatient with waiting and got up.

Outer courtyard, main hall.

When Shen Wan walked in, she saw the outer room where the second master kept her. She had to say that she was quite beautiful. Her appearance was superior to that of the second wife. She was also several years younger than the second wife. She was wearing silk and satin and a gold hairpin on her head. What kind of outer room is this? It's clearly the second lady who lives outside.

The second wife's face was ashen and she shouted almost hysterically, "Can't you hear what I said? Beat him out!"

The beauty in the outer room turned pale, and she protected the two children in her arms. The boy broke away from her arms, ran to hug the second master and said, "Dad, don't drive us away..."

The second master let the child hold him. He was not afraid of the second wife's anger. What he was afraid of was Shen Jing, who was sitting in the front seat with an ugly face.
