There were many maids and servants in the main hall, all looking at each other.
The second wife wanted them to kick the person out, but it was obviously the second master's wife and illegitimate son. The second master didn't say anything and the Marquis was here, who dared to kick the person out.
Shen Jing looked at the child, glanced coldly at the second master's face, and looked at Sun's mother, "The second master has an illegitimate child, does the old lady know?"
The tone was so cold that Mother Sun's heart trembled.
Shen Jing would never let the second master raise his wife lightly, but when he asked this question, it was clear that he would pursue the case together with the old lady.
The old lady mishandled the child in Hongkui's belly, and she threatened the marquis with death in order to protect the third wife. In the end, it chilled the marquis's heart. The marquis no longer believed that the old lady had no knowledge of these things.
As the old lady of the Hou family, the second master raised his wife. The old lady did not persuade the second master to turn back, and even allowed the second master and his wife to give birth to two illegitimate children. How could the marquis allow it? She was afraid that the old lady would be punished as well.
Mother Sun tightened her hands, "No, I don't know..."
Lack of confidence.
Shen Jing's eyes turned cold, and Sun's mother immediately changed her words and said, "I don't know if the old lady knows about this..."
She was really fooling her father into thinking he was a fool. Mother Sun was the confidant of the old lady. Did the old lady know about this? Could Mother Sun know?
However, I didn't dare to say that the old lady knew if I borrowed some courage from Sun's mother, so I could only vaguely pass it by.
Shen Jing slammed the table angrily, "Say!"
Mother Sun was already very frightened. Shen Jing slapped the table, which scared Mother Sun almost out of her mind.
She didn't dare to look into Shen Jing's eyes and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
There is no difference between not saying it and saying it.
Shen Jing laughed angrily, "It seems that the old lady has known about it for a long time and has been hiding it for the second child!"
As soon as Shen Jing finished speaking, the old lady's voice came from outside, "I do know about this."
Shen Wan's eyes widened. She didn't expect the old lady to admit it so openly. Did she think that because she was the old lady, her father would not dare to punish her, so she was confident?
Shen Jing's face was very long.
The maid held the old lady's hand and walked in. The old lady glanced at the outer room, and her cold eyes frightened the outer room's already pale face to become even paler and shivering.
The old lady said, "Not only do I know about this, but my second wife also knows about it."
Knowing that the old lady helped the second master hide it from her, the second wife felt that all her respect for the old lady over the years had gone to waste, and she gritted her teeth righteously. When she heard the old lady say this, her face became even more ugly.
She opened her mouth to say she didn't know, but before she could speak, the old lady glanced over with cold eyes. That threatening look chilled the second lady from the bottom of her heart to her limbs.
Without giving the second wife a chance to refute, the old lady said, "This is not the second wife's concubine, but the concubine he took. It's just that this concubine is not compatible with Ying'er's mother. It was supposed to be sold back then, but it happened to be She is pregnant, so she can only stay. She has not been allowed to enter the house for so many years, and she will not be allowed to enter the house in the future. As for these two children, it is indeed long past time for them to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan."
Every time the old lady said a word, Shen Jing's face turned cold.
Shen Wan lit candles for the old lady in her heart.
The old lady really dared to say that.
She thought that she could turn the second master's wife into a concubine with just a few words?
She was partial and allowed the second master to have an illegitimate wife and an illegitimate child. Now the foreign wife openly came to her door. Instead of scolding the second master, the old lady tried every means to help the second master to smooth things over. She even used the second master's career to force the second wife to swallow her grievances and put all the family members in the house. He was treated like a fool, and with his father's temperament, he probably wanted to kick the old lady out of the Marquis's residence right now.
Shen Jing looked at the old lady calmly, "I didn't know that Pingyang Marquis Mansion was so particular. The master of the house has to marry his mistress to take a concubine."
The old lady's expression froze.
Shen Wan almost laughed out loud.
God knows how hard it was for her to endure it. She felt a little unfilial. Her father was almost mad to death, but she could still laugh.
Shen Wan's shoulders were shaking. At this time, a young boy walked in and whispered a few words in Manager Li's ear. Manager Li looked at the second master's outer room with a shocked face, and then told him exactly what the young boy told him. Shen Jing knows.
Snapped.
Shen Jing raised his hand.
The rosewood table was smashed to pieces.
The sudden anger frightened everyone including Shen Wan.
Shen Jing's face seemed to be covered with frost, and he looked at the old lady with cold eyes, "When did my Pingyang Marquis Mansion allow women from brothels to be my concubines?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room gasped, especially the second wife, who was so angry that her eyes turned black.
The old lady was panicked and annoyed, panicking that this matter would never end. She risked her face to protect the second master. Shen Jing looked at her identity as the old lady and could only turn a blind eye, but she didn't expect that The news that Shi was born in a brothel would reach Shen Jing's ears, and Shen Jing also directly exposed it.
No one answered, I didn’t know how to answer, and I didn’t dare to answer.
Shen Jing stood up and walked away. He stopped when he passed by the old lady, "I always thought that the old lady valued rules and respected the old lady. I never thought that the old lady could be partial to others. At this point, there is no point in trying to fool me about the second child raising a wife, your rhetoric will win the trust of the imperial censor, the civil and military officials of the court, and the trust of the emperor!"
After saying this, Shen Jing strode away.
After Shen Jing left, Shen Wan also stood up. It was rare to see her father in the house, and she still had something to say to her father.
As Shen Wan went out, the old lady's sharp voice came from behind, "Who allowed you to bring your child to the Hou Mansion?!"
Shen Wan didn't even look back. Yinshuang looked back and saw that the outside room's legs were weak from fear and she knelt down directly.
Yin Shuang caught up with Shen Wan and said, "Why did the Marquis leave without punishing the second master?"
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Now I'm going to punish my second uncle and make him kneel in the ancestral hall. If I turn around, if the emperor summons me, it will be inconvenient to carry my second uncle into the palace."
Yinshuang, "..."
It is a family matter of the Hou family for the second master to raise a wife, but the second master is not a white man. What he does is also related to the face of the court. The emperor will be criticized if he reuses such a minister with bad personal ethics.
I don’t know, it’s just that I haven’t been exposed. The trouble is so public that everyone knows how the emperor can tolerate it. In a situation like this where the imperial censor will impeach and the emperor will definitely deal with it, you must first keep an eye on the emperor.
Shen Jing went to the study. Xie Jingyan was still in the study. Hearing Shen Wan's footsteps behind him, Shen Jing turned around. When he saw Shen Wan, the anger on his face faded a little and said, "Why are you here?"
Shen Wan said, "I have something to do with my father."
Shen Jing said, "What do you want from father?"
The courtyard was not a place for talking. After entering the study, Shen Wancai said, "My eldest brother loves Princess Huai'an of Prince An's Mansion. He is not in Kyoto and I don't know when he will come back. My daughter heard that many people came to ask for the princess of Huai'an to marry her. My daughter is afraid Prince An’s Mansion has promised Princess Huai’an to someone else, so father should go to Prince An’s Mansion to propose marriage to my eldest brother.”
Shen Jing didn't expect that this was what Shen Wan was talking about to him, so he laughed and said, "Why didn't your elder brother mention this to me before he left Beijing?"
"Your elder brother is not in a hurry, but he makes you so anxious."
Shen Wan didn't know what to say, so she acted coquettishly and said, "Father, you must take my eldest brother's marriage seriously."
