stern wife

Chapter 286
In the evening, when Pei Xiaoran returned to the mansion, he found that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right. The servants all shrunk their heads and walked on tiptoes, as if they were afraid to make a little noise and disturb who would cause trouble. I dare not take a breath.

Pei Xiaoran looked puzzled, and thought, maybe there is another newcomer in the mansion, right?
Her father is quite old and strong, it's not enough to accept one, is it possible that he is going to accept ten or eight?
And looking at people's performance, could it be that the one who got in this time was a tigress?

Full of doubts, Pei Xiaoran went back to his own yard, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Nanny Pan coming up to him, with a look on his face that he had something to report.

This scene seemed familiar, Pei Xiaoran couldn't hold back his smile and said:

"Mommy, could it be that Daddy has accepted a new aunt to come in?"

Mother Pan motioned for the people to close the courtyard door tightly, shook her head, and said in a low voice:
"It's much more serious than that."

Pei Xiaoran opened his eyes wide and said in surprise:
"Could it be that a man was admitted in this time?"

"Pfft!"

Han Chan couldn't help laughing out loud, and Nanny Pan also looked dumbfounded.

Leading Pei Xiaoran into the room, and pouring a cup of hot tea that had been prepared earlier, Nanny Pan continued in a low voice:
"This time it's not the newcomer, but the fifth young master in our mansion, something serious has happened!"

Pei Xiaoran's eyes brightened, and said:
"Oh? I don't know what happened to Fifth Brother?"

Mother Pan gave a 'tsk' sound and said:
"The fifth young master is also an ignorant person, who dared to gnaw beans in the meal of Mr. Li who taught him! Mr. Li didn't know at first, but he couldn't see anything when he went to see the doctor. He thought it was because he was old. , It’s useless. Who knows, I somehow got the hang of it, and secretly took the food cooked for him by our Pei Mansion home to the doctor to have a look, and found croton powder in it!”

Pei Xiaoran was shocked, then nodded in agreement, and said:

"Fifth Brother is really too much, how can you put this kind of thing in Master's meal?"

"that is!"

Nanny Pan didn't go to the camp with Pei Xiaoran to practice martial arts, so she naturally didn't know that Pei Xiaoran stopped Master Li halfway, let alone that Master Li would suddenly become enlightened, but it was all thanks to the innocent little girl in front of her.

Mother Pan continued:

"Then Mrs. Li is also a capable person. He didn't tell the master about it, and directly sued him in Da'an Mansion!"

Pei Xiaoran was taken aback, apparently did not expect things to develop like this, subconsciously asked:

"Da'an Mansion?!"

Oh my god, Mr. Li is too...too fierce, right? !
She originally thought that Master Li, who loves to make small reports, would tell Pei Xingshan about this, and then let Pei Xingshan teach Pei Wenchang a lesson.

In the end, Mrs. Li was more ruthless than she imagined, and directly sued this case to Da'an Mansion!
Pei Xiaoran quickly stuffed a piece of dim sum into his mouth to calm himself down, and by the way, also stuffed a piece into Han Chan's hand.

Mother Pan thought that Pei Xiaoran was young and didn't know where Da'an Mansion was, so she patiently explained:

"Da'an Mansion is a place specially used to interrogate prisoners. They dare to interrogate high-ranking officials and nobles as well as ordinary people! I heard that our fifth young master was quite stubborn at the beginning, but after a while he said that Mrs. Li was talking nonsense and didn't know what to say. Wanting to slander him, slander the Duke of the State, and later say that crotons can't kill anyone, but Mr. Li deliberately said something very serious and wanted to extort money."

Pei Xiaoran sneered, thinking that her fifth brother's cleverness was really a mistake.

The Da'an Mansion in Zhuquezhijing is under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Chixuan, and the governor inside holds the power of life and death to sentence prisoners to death without the approval of superiors.

But once the case is wrongly judged, Fu Yin will be punished by the nine clans.

The Fu Yin who survived under such harsh conditions, Pei Wenchang really thought he could be deceived?

Sure enough, Mother Pan smiled and said:
"Master Li took the doctor who helped him inspect the food and ate the leftover food. He even invited the chef in our house to taste the food himself. He said that it was indeed made by the chef in our house. It can be said that there are witnesses and evidences. Seeing that the fifth young master really couldn't get away with it, he said that a boy next to him did it secretly behind his back, and it had nothing to do with him at all. That boy wants to gnaw beans in Master Li's meal, and wants to punish Master Li."

Generally, the deeds of sale of the servants are held in the hands of the master, and some servants' entire families are held in the hands of the master.

With the deed of sale, the master can instruct the servants at will, and even take their lives at will.

In this way, even if the boy is unwilling, he will definitely take the blame for Pei Wenchang.

However, looking at Nanny Pan's smiling face, Pei Xiaoran knew that Pei Wenchang's trick must have failed.

She blinked her big eyes and pretended to be curious and asked:
"and then?"

Thinking of what was said outside, Mother Pan thought it was wonderful, she couldn't help clapping her hands and said:
"Then the Lord Fu Yin asked, what's the festival? The boy made up a random one, and the Lord Fu Yin asked him to find someone who could testify. He said that there was no one at that time, only he and Mrs. Li were there, and the Lord Fu Yin asked , since only he and Mrs. Li were there, how did the fifth young master know about this? The boy said that he later told the fifth young master by himself, and the Lord Fu Yin asked again, since the fifth young master knew about it a long time ago Why don’t you stop your servant from doing evil, instead help him conceal the truth, and continue to indulge his chin to harm Mrs. Li? Both the boy and the fifth young master were dumbfounded by a series of questions from the governor, and the preface of the answer was not the same. As an afterthought, Lord Fu Yin suspected that the boy was lying, and gave him a severe punishment, and then the boy said that it was the Fifth Young Master who ordered him to gnaw Master Li's chin."

Pei Xiaoran clicked his tongue.

She just said, the Governor of Da'an Mansion is definitely not easy to deceive.

Pei Xiaoran asked:
"Then next, Brother Wu will be convicted?"

Mother Pan didn't know what she thought of, she couldn't hold back her laughter immediately, and after a while, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and replied:

"Oh, it's okay to be convicted. After all, it's just a little croton. It's not about poisoning people. It's fine to beat a few boards and shut it up for a few days. But, my master suddenly pulled out a bag from his waist for some reason. A whip came, and the fifth young master was whipped and rolled all over the floor. A large number of yamen servants went up together and couldn't pull it back, but Mr. Fu Yin was very frightened. He was afraid that he would beat the fifth young master to death, and he would end himself Then I pulled the master away, and asked the servants to quickly protect the fifth young master and hide in the prison."

"puff!"

Pei Xiaoran also laughed out loud, thinking that Pei Xingshan probably hated iron but not steel, so he lost control when he was disappointed and angry, right?

Of course, what she didn't know was that Pei Wenchang's mother-in-law, Cheng Shi, was responsible for Pei Xingshan's sudden loss of control.

Cheng probably never dreamed that the medicine he took to fight for favor would affect his precious son, right?
