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

"Mr. Zhao, my wife is ill, and the Duke and his wife are not at home. It is really not the right time for you to come. Why don't you go back for now and come back to visit when the Duke is home?"

Steward Wang stood at the door and tried to dissuade the ignorant Mr. Zhao from leaving immediately. He did not come here to ask for forgiveness, but to kill people.

Zhao Mingbo came to the Duke's Mansion when the elders were not at home. He carried a thorn on his back, looked determined, and knelt at the door of the Duke's Mansion with great sincerity, apologizing loudly. "Madam, I was wrong in everything before. Mingbo came here to apologize. Please forgive me for the friendship we had in the past. I was confused for a while and did such a wrong thing."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there is no man in this world who doesn't have three wives and four concubines. Young Master Zhao has already apologized and knelt at the door of the house, but the eldest lady of the Pei family still refuses to come out to meet him. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"That's right. She's a girl, and she humiliates her future husband like this. What will happen to her after she gets married?"

"Isn't she just a woman? Just send her away. It's okay for a man to have a good time out there, as long as he doesn't bring her home."

Everyone was talking and talking.

I don’t know if someone was deliberately guiding them, but the onlookers sympathized with Zhao Mingbo, thinking that he had only made some minor mistakes. Now that he had turned over a new leaf, Madam Pei should forgive and accept him without hesitation.

Pei Shuo is also a man, so he knows what Zhao Mingbo is thinking. Because there are too many people ahead, he has to dismount not far away.

He saw a cart parked in the alley on the right and whispered something to Qing Mo.

Qing Mo immediately understood and left with the horse.

Pei Shuo waited for a while before squeezing in.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"

Butler Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pei Shuo coming back.

The lady is a woman, it's not right to chase people away in the street.

If you really rush out and chase people away without caring about the consequences, it will really damage your reputation.

If this person were brought in, everyone in the Pei family would be furious.

Unfortunately, the Duke and his wife were not in the capital at that time, so he was just a steward and could not be the master of the household.

Now that the prince has returned, there is finally someone who can make the decision.

When Zhao Mingbo saw Pei Shuo, although he apologized in a low voice, he stood up straight. He did not seem to be humble, but instead had a courageous attitude.

"Brother, I was wrong on that day. I just made a mistake that all men would make. You and I are both men. Brother, you should understand me."

Hearing this, Pei Shuo took a few steps back and stood on the steps, looking down at him.

Pei Shuo's half-smile made Zhao Mingbo feel oppressed. In the past, when his future brother-in-law saw him, he always smiled brightly, but now he looked so cold and disdainful.

But thinking of what that person said, Zhao Mingbo gritted his teeth and looked back, again expressing his sincere apology.

The thorns on his back scratched his skin and caused some bleeding, but it was not serious.

Pei Shuo sneered in his heart, but he was polite on the surface. "Mr. Zhao, please be careful with your words. Although you and I are both men, we are different. The men in my Zhenguo Mansion, although they are born as military generals, know etiquette, righteousness, and shame. They are not the kind of people who have no manners and rules, who would cause such a scandal of keeping a concubine before getting married. Mr. Zhao has a bad character, you can't let all the men in the world take the blame for you."

As soon as this was said, someone couldn't help laughing: "That's right, my man is very well behaved. He's also from a noble family, so he's clearly a shameless playboy. In our countryside, only old bachelors would go out and seduce widows."

Everyone burst into laughter again. Someone said indignantly, "Your man is poor and can't marry a pretty woman, so he has to put up with you, a yellow-faced woman. Maybe when he has money, he will find a lover outside."

When the woman heard someone say this, she turned around immediately and said, "Who is that? Who is talking nonsense? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off his tongue."

Naturally, no one responded to her, there were too many people. The woman couldn't find anyone to gossip about, and she was very angry, so she could only turn around and continue to watch the fun.

Zhao Mingbo was slapped in the face in public. Although he was embarrassed, he still suppressed his anger and behaved in a humble manner.

He made a gesture to apologize. "I said the wrong thing, please don't mind it. I just wanted to apologize to the lady so much that I said something nonsense. Now that I am here, can you ask the lady to come out? I want to apologize to her in public and ask her to forgive my momentary confusion."

If Xu Yao were here, he would definitely call him a dirty fool.

This is not about apologizing to others, this is about forcing others to accept his repentance.

This is what later generations called moral kidnapping!

If the other party does not forgive him today, it will be the other party's fault. It is really shameless.

Pei Shuo couldn't express the words "moral kidnapping" as accurately as Xu Yao, but he also understood that Zhao Mingbo's behavior was really disgusting.

It makes no sense for him to kneel down and force others to agree just because others don't forgive him.

There was a sneer on the corner of his lips, and the young man looked noble and arrogant.

"Since you have apologized, Mr. Zhao, you should also know that my sister was injured by your anger and is now recuperating at home. It is really inappropriate for you to insist on her coming out. Why don't you just follow me in?"

Who knew that Zhao Mingbo refused to enter, as if he had not heard that Madam Pei was uncomfortable: "If Madam Pei doesn't forgive me, how can I have the face to enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Please ask my brother to invite Madam Pei out, and I will apologize to her in front of everyone to show my sincerity."

Zhao Mingbo spoke very sincerely, and some people couldn't help but persuade him: "Mr. Zhao is sincere enough, why hasn't Madam Pei come out yet?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhao is really sincere. Madam Pei is too angry. She hasn't come out yet. She really doesn't want to give Mr. Zhao any face."

When Zhao Mingbo heard someone else leading the conversation and standing on his side, he was secretly delighted.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. He has already humbled himself to this point. If the Pei family still refuses to forgive him, then he would be being unreasonable.

Pei Shuo was furious. He glanced at the crowd. Qing Mo nodded to him. Pei Shuo then went back a few steps and said to Zhao Mingbo expressionlessly, "Since Brother Zhao is so sincere, I will go and ask my sister to come out."

Zhao Mingbo was delighted. He didn't expect that this trick would actually work.

Seeing Pei Shuo whispering a few words to the butler, the butler nodded and walked towards the door.

Zhao Mingbo was thinking about how to put on a good show when the people came out so that everyone would believe that he was a prodigal son who had sincerely repented.

Just wait until today's matter is over, and then they will get married in the future. He will pay back the humiliation that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has inflicted on him a thousand times.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "The horse is startled, get out of the way, get out of the way."

The sound of Dada's horse's hooves came from afar, and the onlookers immediately retreated.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingbo was kneeling on the ground, and his legs were numb because he had been kneeling for too long, so he couldn't get up for a while. This saved Pei Shuo the stone in his hand.
