"Ah, this old slave is a servant of the Minister of Household Affairs. If Madam finds out, she will definitely come to ask for an explanation."

Even though Mrs. Zhao was beaten, she still spoke harshly.

Qiao Shi didn't expect what Mrs. Zhao would say after being beaten a few times, it was just a lesson.

"Isn't the lady you're talking about Zhao Ruzhen? She's just an ordinary wife without a title, and she dares to call herself madam?"

Although Zhao Ruzhen was promoted as an equal wife, among the wives of this class, who could think highly of her?

Although a common wife is a wife, compared to the real wife who is being married by a bright matchmaker, a common wife is nothing but a thing brought up by a concubine.

"I don't need to say more about what Zhao Ruzhen did fifteen years ago. Now your son and grandson have been fed poison. If you want them to die tragically, you can tell them or not..."

…

Two days later, Qiao Shi refined several more elixirs, which were more effective than the warming and tonic elixirs he refined last time.

Of course, this kind of elixir works quickly, but it also comes at the expense of stimulating life potential.

It's just that it's not easy for the imperial doctor to find out.

After sending the elixir to the palace, Qiao Shi received some more rewards. The moonlight brocade he had been rewarded some time ago had been made into ready-made clothes.

Qiao Shi specially chose the time when Xiang Sheng was resting. After dressing up, he got into the carriage.

——

Xiang Sheng took a break today and specially had breakfast with the old lady. Zhao Ruzhen also sat aside with his son and daughter, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.

At this time, the maid came in and spoke softly behind her.

"Old madam, madam and eldest lady are not feeling well..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to mention the unlucky things in front of me."

The old lady waved her hand, not wanting to hear any news about those two people.

Zhao Ruzhen paused while helping the old lady prepare the dishes, then she chuckled and said, "Mother, after all, she is the master's first wife and first daughter. It's not an option to huddle in the backyard all day without seeing anyone. Jing'er has also reached the age where we should talk about marriage. , you can’t keep away from seeing people.”

"Snapped!"

The old lady slammed the chopsticks in her hand, a cold look on her face.

"You know how to speak for them. Since you have done such shameful things, don't think about it. You are kind enough if you don't send them to the Ancient Buddha with Green Lantern."

"Okay, what are we talking about? Let's eat."

Xiang Sheng didn't want to talk about these things anymore, but the old lady's thoughts were drawn out.

"If she still has a shred of self-awareness, she should ask herself to be removed from the court. What she is doing now occupying the second wife is ridiculous."

"I will tell her about this matter, but the Duke of Ming Dynasty won't let go, and my son can't help it."

Hearing this, Zhao Ruzhen's face instantly turned ugly.

This incident has always reminded her of her shame. The reason why she was promoted to the equal wife in the first place was all because the Ming Dynasty Duke relented, and she was promoted from an aunt to the equal wife.

"What else do they want! This is the matter of my prime minister's office. Even if it is the Duke of Ming Dynasty, please don't stretch your hands too long."

The old lady has long been dissatisfied with the Duke of Ming. If the Duke of Ming had not relented, how could Ming Nianyue still occupy the position of his legitimate wife?

It's not easy for Ming Nianyue to resign herself. No woman would be willing to change from a legitimate wife to a concubine.

After having such a good meal, Zhao Ruzhen and her two children enjoyed watching the show.

There are also many benefits for them when their biological mother becomes a legitimate wife. After all, there is a difference between a common wife and a legitimate wife.

"Sir, Mrs. Hui is here to visit."

At this time, the boy in the front yard hurriedly came to report. Xiang Sheng frowned when he heard this.

"What is she here for?"

He and Mrs. Hui didn't seem to have any intersection. The only intersection was what happened on Liu Shuang's day.

It’s just that it’s been so many days, what do you want to do when you come to your door?

"Go ahead."

The old lady also heard about Liu Shuang being beaten that day, and naturally she didn't like to see Mrs. Hui.

Moreover, when a woman appeared in public and started doing men's things, the old lady felt even more disdain for Qiao Shi.

Because of her son, she was now granted the title of first-grade concubine, so she naturally did not need to attend the ceremony.

It's just that Mrs. Hui is a female family member after all, so Zhao Ruzhen had to come forward and go with Xiang Sheng.

…

forecourt.

Qiao Shi sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea. Then Xiang Sheng came over, accompanied by Zhao Ruzhen.

"I remember that I had no interaction with Mrs. Hui. I wonder why Mrs. Hui came here?"

Xiang Sheng looked down on people like Taoist priests and nuns, so he was naturally rude in his words.

Qiao Shi put down the teacup leisurely.

"The rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion have really taught me a lot. After all, I am also the Emperor's personally named Mrs. Yipinhui. However, Master Shangshu asked his wife to come out to entertain. Could it be that he looks down on me."

The naked sarcasm made Zhao Ruzhen pinch the man in his sleeve so hard that he almost couldn't control his expression, and his face was twitching with anger.

Xiang Sheng didn't know what Qiao Shi wanted to do when he came here, but he didn't know how to drive people away openly.

"Mrs. Hui was joking. I feel unwell and am recuperating at home."

"What a cultivation. You are still cultivating after more than ten years. Is there something shameful?"

"Mrs. Hui!"

Xiang Sheng's face was stained with anger.

"I pay you my respects. This is a family matter and has nothing to do with Mrs. Hui. If nothing happens, Mrs. Hui should leave first."

"Family affairs? Ha~"

Qiao Shi sneered, suddenly took off the veil on his face, and looked straight at Xiang Sheng.

Zhao Ruzhen's expression suddenly changed, and her hands began to tremble.

Impossible, how is it possible!

"Master Shangshu, who does this lady look like to me?"

Although Xiang Sheng had not seen Ming Nianyue for a long time, he still had an impression of Ming Nianyue's appearance when he was young. However, when he looked at Qiao Shi, he only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Seeing Xiang Sheng's confused look, Qiao Shi glanced at Zhao Ruzhen again.

"It seems that Shangshu Ping's wife has already remembered it. What? Why don't you tell me?"

One sentence on the left is an equal wife, and the other is an equal wife, as if she is reminded of her shame all the time.

The shock on Zhao Ruzhen's face had been replaced by humiliation and anger, but she couldn't vent it out and had to hold back her laughter as if nothing had happened.

"Mrs. Hui was joking. I was just surprised that Mrs. Hui was so young."

"Yes, I am only fifteen years old. Unlike you, Shangshu Ping's wife, you are already old."

Qiao Shi stabbed Zhao Ruzhen again. Zhao Ruzhen's nails clenched tightly into her palms, and the anger in her heart seemed to be uncontrollable.

At this time, Xiang Sheng finally remembered who Qiao Shi looked like.

"Are you... from the Duke's Palace of Ming Dynasty?"

Xiang Sheng still didn't think about himself.

Qiao Shi sneered again.

"Logically speaking, this lady does have some relationship with the Duke of Ming Dynasty. After all, this lady is the biological daughter of you and your legitimate wife, Mr. Xiang!"
