The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Zhao Mingbo was beaten by Pei Shuo and returned to the Zhao family with injuries on his face.

Mrs. Zhao was shocked when she saw her son like this, "My son, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Mingbo's face turned pale, and when the maid came to apply medicine to him, he slapped her hard.

Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her son and cursed at the servants: "Come on, drag him away and give him ten beatings."

The maid begged, but the old women didn't care about her life or death. They covered her mouth and dragged her away.

The more Zhao Mingbo thought about it, the angrier he got. He was so unwilling to accept it that he exaggerated what happened today and told Madam Zhao: "Mother, I am a man after all, her husband-to-be. Isn't it enough for me to be humble and submissive on weekdays? She is just a woman, and I am just playing around. Why are you so angry and don't give me face in public? The Pei family is really going too far."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she did not think her son was wrong. Instead, she felt that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion looked down on them because of their high status.

"My son, I will seek justice for you right now. I will never let them off easy."

Having said that, she rushed out to get it, wanting to seek justice for her son, to scold Madam Pei severely, and to establish her prestige as a future mother-in-law.

But before he could leave, Zhao Mingbo called him back. He thought about it and said through gritted teeth, "Let's wait until Dad comes back before we discuss this matter."

Mrs. Zhao was a little hesitant when she heard this, but she was still angry when she thought of the injustice her son had suffered: "I didn't agree to this marriage at the beginning. The Pei family was born into a military family, and their spoiled daughter is also very wild. Even if they are from the family of the Duke of Zhenguo, they can't be as well-behaved and sensible as the daughters of the civil officials. How can they be suitable as daughters-in-law? But your father said that the family of the Duke of Zhenguo is high and will be of great help to you in the future, and he rushed to this marriage."

The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became. She herself was born in a low family and had been controlled by her mother-in-law all her life. She had never lived a happy life. She finally waited for her son to grow up and was able to choose a wife for him, but her husband wanted to choose a lady from a wealthy family.

Those who are born into noble families are born superior to her. Her mother-in-law always dislikes her for her low birth. Does that mean she will find a daughter-in-law who will also be superior to her in the future?

She was really unwilling to do so.

After much thought, I felt that maybe I could ruin this marriage, and then I could find a daughter-in-law that I would be satisfied with and that I could control.

Although Zhao Mingbo said he was angry, he knew that he was really wrong. Now that he had been beaten, going to the Pei family to make trouble would only make them even angrier.

After venting his anger, he gradually calmed down.

"Mother, don't act rashly at this time."

He would wait until Madam Pei calmed down before going up to the East Gate to apologize.

He even had to wait for his father to come back and negotiate. This marriage was very important to him, and he wanted to rely on it to make a fortune in the future, so how could he give up easily?

The mother and son had different thoughts, but before the son took any action, Mrs. Zhao had already asked people to spread the news everywhere, saying that Mrs. Pei was unfaithful to her husband and beat her fiancé in the street.

To say that she behaves in a promiscuous manner is really not a good match.

If we marry her, it will bring shame to the Zhao family.

When the news of such a back-and-forth came out, not to mention the Pei family, even Liu Moyan was so angry that she overturned the table.

"The Zhao family is so shameless."

Xu Yao echoed, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Second Madam, it seems that the commotion at that time was too mild and didn't scare anyone. Otherwise, how could the Zhao family have the guts to spread such rumors."

That's exactly the case!

Even if Madam Pei wanted to cancel the engagement, she would have had her reasons and justification. But now it seems as if the Pei family had done something wrong. If the engagement is cancelled, it would not be the Zhao family's fault, but the Pei family would be embarrassed.

Liu Moyan was so angry that she was about to go out, but was stopped by Zhang.

"Mother, if Sister Pei gets into trouble like this, I must go and see her. I'm really worried about her."

Zhang rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you panicking? Such a small matter has made you panic and at a loss as to what to do."

Liu Moyan: "This is not a big deal. How can it be considered a big deal? This is related to Sister Pei's reputation. If a girl's engagement is broken off, she will be criticized. Now the Zhao family is blaming her. For Sister Pei, this is a great shame. What will she do in the future?"

She exposed the matter in the hope that Zhao Mingbo would be dismissed and the Pei family would be able to escape unscathed and avoid the big trap set by Zhao Mingbo.

Who would have thought that things would develop to this point? Liu Moyan was anxious and worried. She could only blame herself for not being tactful and thorough enough. She did not expect the Zhao family to be so shameless.

Zhang sighed and said, "So you were involved in this?"

Liu Moyan was stunned for a moment, and then she met Zhang's eyes with a twinkling look. "What do you mean, mother? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Zhang snorted coldly and glanced at Xu Yao.

"If your wife won't tell you, then you should tell her. Think about it carefully. If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished."

Xu Yao felt a little upset. As expected, the servants were the first to be affected by the fight between mother and daughter.

She glanced at Liu Moyan and spoke in no hurry.

Zhang said coldly: "Don't look at your wife. I still hold your indenture contract in my hands. It's not her turn to make the decision. If you don't tell the truth, I will sell you out immediately. Don't blame me for being cruel and sending you to a place you shouldn't go."

Xu Yao was wondering if she should tell the truth, but Liu Moyan stood in front of her, protecting her and saying, "What are you doing, mother? She is my maid. She should do what I tell her to do. You are not only embarrassing me, but also making me lose face in front of my servants. Everyone who serves me will know that I can't even protect my own servants. Who will be loyal to me in the future?"

When Zhang heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, revealing a bit of surprise. She admired her daughter's courage and intelligence, but that didn't mean she agreed with her daughter's approach.

"If you do something wrong and you don't take responsibility, then your subordinates will be punished. If you want to take responsibility, then confess the matter. Whether she lives or dies is up to you."

In just a few seconds, the situation escalated from selling to beating to death. Mrs. Zhang is really a soft-spoken woman with a ruthless heart.

When it is time to take ruthless action, be decisive.

Liu Moyan thought about it, then knelt down in front of Zhang and honestly explained how she had plotted against Zhao Mingbo from beginning to end.

Zhang understood what she heard and looked up at Xu Yao: "You little girl, do you have this ability?"

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment and continued to look dazed.

Liu Moyan hurriedly explained, "Don't you know her? She is stubborn and lucky. She does whatever she is asked to do. She uses the stupidest method. I have been secretly following her and only then found the clues."

Zhang looked at Xu Yao thoughtfully. Xu Yao's scalp tingled because of her stare. He always felt that her gaze was very meaningful.
