Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 452: Fierce Pearl

It hadn't grown yet, it was wrinkled, and I didn't dare to hold the buds. The premature birth was also because one of the concubines who always felt that she was neglected was restless and deliberately bumped into Pearl who was walking in the garden to digest her food.

Ever since Zhenzhu "fainted" in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion last time and Madam Pei and Rong Jin came to visit once, her mother-in-law, Madam Jiang, has restrained herself a lot.

He no longer spoke openly for the two concubines in front of Zhenzhu, but only took care of them secretly, asking them to pay more attention to Jiang Yunqi, who was busy with work and physically exhausted.

Therefore, with Madam Jiang's suggestion, Mrs. You's mind became active. Since her mistress was pregnant, it was a good opportunity for her to consolidate her favor. Once every ten days was not enough, so she went to see Jiang Yunqi from time to time.

However, Jiang Yunqi was indeed busy, and he valued the child in Zhenzhu's belly, so he also followed Zhenzhu's agreement to visit the two concubines' rooms twice every ten days.

Seeing that Zhenzhu was about to give birth, Jiang Yunqi was still lukewarm towards her. Yu Shi felt that it was because Zhenzhu was not generous enough and was still clinging to Jiang Yunqi even when she was pregnant that she had no chance to consolidate her favor.

So she was very dissatisfied with Zhenzhu because she felt that she was more favored by Jiang Yunqi than another concubine, Yu.

Sometimes, Jiang Yunqi, who used to go to Youshi's house once every ten days and to Yushi's house once every ten days, would occasionally stay at Youshi's house for two nights. This made her think that as long as something happened to Zhenzhu, she would be able to take over.

So, when Qinghe and Qingmiao, the maids who were close to Zhenzhu, were not around, a maid with an unfamiliar face ran up to Zhenzhu and started to play tricks while she was accompanying her to enjoy the breeze by the pond in the garden.

Then she pretended to be tripped and tried to push Zhenzhu into the pond. But Zhenzhu was unaware and was slightly pulled by the maid beside her, so she staggered two steps. As a result, Youshi pulled Zhenzhu's sleeve and threw her to the side of the pond. Zhenzhu was pulled by Wuxin and knelt on one leg by the pond.

Whether it was intentional or not, the person involved knew it better than others. So when Zhenzhu found out that Youshi was trying to push her into the water, she immediately went crazy.

He asked the ugly maid beside him to pin Youshi down, and without giving her any chance to explain herself, he beat her to death with a stick beside the pond.

When Youshi's maid stumbled and asked Madam Jiang to rush to the pond, Youshi, who was covered in blood, was only breathing in but not out.

Madam Jiang was so frightened that she fell to the ground, stunned. The other concubine, Yu, who was following behind Madam Jiang, covered her mouth and trembled.

After Pearl, who was extremely nervous and angry, calmed down, she felt uncomfortable at night and gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, after all the hardships, both mother and daughter are safe.

When Hualei went to visit Zhenzhu, Zhenzhu explained to Hualei that the last time Zhenzhu "fainted", Rong Jin came to the house and did not know that it was a show between Zhenzhu and Old Madam Pei.

When he arrived at the house, he saw that Madam Jiang had given her son two concubines, which made him very angry. And Jiang Yunqi actually accepted them all, which made him even angrier.

Therefore, after returning, fearing that Madam Pei would worry, he did not inform Madam Pei and secretly sent four female guards to Zhenzhu, who usually dressed up as maids and stayed by Zhenzhu's side, just in case.

He told Zhenzhu to take good care of herself and not to suffer any loss. If the concubine could behave herself, Zhenzhu should not deliberately make things difficult for her. If the concubine dared to play tricks and hurt Zhenzhu who was pregnant, she could just do it ruthlessly, and he, the eldest brother from her natal family, would bear the consequences.

Therefore, Zhenzhu, who was originally a bit tough, was more relaxed after Pei Rongjin's assurance. After discovering Youshi's sinister intentions, she didn't care and beat her to death.

Moreover, after her mother-in-law, Madam Jiang, arrived, she calmly ordered the servants in the mansion to throw Youshi's body directly into the mass grave and feed it to wild dogs.

It was unclear whether that expression was fake or genuine, but it really scared Mrs. Jiang, who had never seen such a bloody scene.

It also made Yu see the power of her mistress. From then on, she lived quietly in a small courtyard in a remote area of ​​the marquis's mansion and no longer dared to jump up and down in front of Zhenzhu.

After hearing what Zhenzhu said, Hualei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Zhenzhu. Fortunately, Rong Jin was prepared, otherwise she really didn't know what would happen this time.

Rong Jin, who was also attending the third-day baptism ceremony for Pearl's daughter, and old Marquis Pei finished their meal with smiles on their faces at the banquet in the front yard which was packed with guests.

But after all the distinguished friends left, he coldly smashed the teacup in his hand in front of Madam Jiang and left the Pingyang Marquis Mansion without saying a word.

Five or six days later, Lord Pei, who was very angry, bought four women from a brothel and sent them directly to Lord Jiang, Jiang Yunqi's father, who was stationed in Liaodong Prefecture, asking the four women to take good care of his daily life.

Lord Jiang was puzzled when he received the woman, and wrote home to inquire about the matter. When Mrs. Jiang learned that it was Lord Pei who sent the woman, she felt ashamed and angry.

In particular, Lord Pei specifically pointed out that his son had two concubines at once, so how could a father lose to his own son?

So, as Mr. Jiang's elder, I have spent a lot of money to give Mr. Jiang double the happiness. I hope Mr. Jiang will accept it.

Jiang Yunqi was so ashamed that he could not even raise his head. It was really because his mother had gone too far by giving him two concubines at once. And he was also a bastard who actually accepted them all.

After Lord Jiang learned the whole story, he felt even more ashamed. His father, Jiang Shangxu, Marquis of Pingyang, was once a fierce general under the command of Marquis Pei and was promoted by Marquis Pei.

And I also followed Pei Jingyang for a period of time. Pei Jingyang taught me many military strategies without reservation. Pei Jingyang really treated me as a good brother.

So, he wrote a letter back, scolding Jiang Yunqi severely, and also scolding Madam Jiang as well, telling them to behave themselves and not to be so self-righteous and do whatever they want.

From Lord Jiang's letter, Madam Jiang also understood that she had angered Marquis Pei by giving her son two concubines at once.

At that time, although Mrs. Pei's words were very impolite, saying that it was understandable to raise one concubine, but it was a bit too much to raise two concubines at once, she was just talking and did nothing.
