Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 161: A sincere heart is truly a wolf's heart!

Madam Changyang kept saying she was "heartbroken" and would "take good care of Min Siyue," but she didn't mention how she would punish the culprit after Min Siyue had suffered so much and lost her child.

They probably just wanted to say a few kind words and let the matter drop, and life would go on as usual.

Madam Min suddenly looked at Madam Changyang.

The Earl of Changyang was quite famous in the Qin capital. Although he was not particularly outstanding, he was a capable man who single-handedly saved the Earl of Changyang's mansion, which his father had destroyed most of.

He had only one wife, loved his wife and son dearly, and was a man worthy of respect.

Lady Changyang was also kind and gentle, and treated people with sincerity and kindness. She had an excellent reputation in the Qin capital.

The Min family had agreed to marry their daughter off for two reasons: firstly, Pei Yutang was a decent young man who was also affectionate towards Min Siyue; and secondly, the family had a good reputation and the parents were harmonious.

But now it seems that Pei Yutang himself is clueless, as is Lady Changyang.

Lady Changyang was startled by Lady Min's cold and stern gaze, and immediately stopped crying.

"What should be done about Siyue's miscarriage? Or rather, what should be done about Prince Pei and that Concubine Yuan?"

Madam Min's question was so direct and blunt that Lady Changyang couldn't get away with it. She opened her mouth, but stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer.

She felt sorry for her son and didn't want to punish him, but she also cared about the child in her son's concubine's womb and was afraid that the concubine would get hurt.

"What? Can't you speak?"

"This..." Lady Changyang's face flushed red as she tried to explain, "This whole thing was an accident, and Yutang misunderstood, that's why..."

"Misunderstanding? What a joke!" The angry voice of the Lady of Changting came from outside. Everyone looked up and saw the Lady of Changting and Lady He walking in together.

Lady Changting walked with incredible speed, her round face contorted with anger and menacing, as if she were about to strike someone at any moment.

Lady Changyang's face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

At present, there are not many noble families in Dongqin. There are three kings, five marquises and three earls. The five marquises are Zhenbei Marquis, Pingxi Marquis, Chengen Marquis, Huaiyang Marquis and Xingning Marquis. The three earls are Changyang Earl, Changting Earl and Changping Earl.

Lady Changyang and Lady Changting were both countesses. Although they knew each other, their husbands had never taken concubines, and they were always compared. Lady Changyang was a gentle woman and had always looked down on Lady Changting's tigress-like behavior.

"I'm here, naturally, for Siyue." Lady Changting rushed forward, and seeing Pei Yutang kneeling to the side, she kicked him, "Pah, you piece of trash!"

Lady Changyang was so angry that she stood up abruptly: "Dong, how dare you be so insolent and hit my son!"

Madam Min, the mother-in-law, could hit him as she pleased. Pei Yutang had done something wrong. Although Madam Changyang felt sorry for her son and harbored resentment, she dared not utter a word of criticism. She only wanted Madam Min to hit him a couple of times to vent her anger and then the matter would be over.

Who is Lady Changting? How dare she hit her son?

Doesn't she have a son of her own? Why doesn't she go back and beat her own son?

Lady Changting was a fearless woman, known as the number one tigress in Qin Capital, so naturally she wasn't afraid of her. Upon hearing this, she sneered, "What a joke! So what if I hit him? Does that mean he shouldn't have hit her? For a lowly thing, he beat his wife without even asking what happened. He's simply a scoundrel!"

"Xu San Niang must have been blind to marry her daughter into your family."

Xu San Niang is Madam Min.

"To favor a concubine over one's wife is utterly despicable!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Yutang denied it. "I have a heart full of love for Siyue. We've been married for three years, and I've treated her well. When have I ever favored a concubine over my wife?"

"A sincere heart?" Lady Changting laughed twice. "A sincere heart means keeping a mistress outside the marriage, who is already pregnant? A sincere heart means distrusting her, hitting her, and beating her so badly that she fell down the steps and lost her baby."

"Your sincerity is genuine, but it's also a truly heartless and treacherous heart!"

Pei Yutang protested his innocence: "That's not how it is! I genuinely love Siyue. Yuan'er... Yuan'er was just an accident. I was afraid Siyue would be heartbroken, so I kept her outside. I..."

"And even if I was partly to blame this time, and I shouldn't have laid a hand on her, it was because she hit Yuan'er first that I..."

"Enough!" Madam Min roared.

She probably had never seen such a shameless person before, and still doesn't know where she went wrong.

"Since it was an accident back then, why not clean things up instead of keeping her on the side and letting her give birth to the child, and now she's pregnant again?!"

Even if it really was an accident, if he had valued his wife even a little, he wouldn't have kept her as a mistress, wouldn't have let her give birth to the child, and certainly wouldn't have let her get pregnant with a second child.

I wonder how many times we've secretly met over the years?

Madam Min clenched her fingers, feeling as if a fire was burning in her heart.

"You two despicable people should pay the price for Siyue and her child. Where is that bitch? Hand her over."

Pei Yutang opened his mouth, but dared not speak.

Madam Min is in a fit of anger. If she really brings Yuan'er over, who knows what will happen to her.

Lady Changyang pleaded, "My dear in-law, even if Yutang was at fault, it was an unintentional mistake. As for Aunt Yuan, she is pregnant with a child, which is of the Pei family bloodline. When the child is born, he will call Siyue 'Mother'."

"In my opinion, I should punish Yutang by making him kneel before the ancestral tablets for an hour to repent to the ancestors. That will put the matter at ease. But don't worry, our Pei family will definitely take good care of Siyue."

Upon hearing this, Madam Min was so angry she nearly exploded.

She used to think that both Lady Changyang and Pei Yutang were easy-going and kind people, but now, seeing them so clueless and trying to smooth things over, she found them really disgusting.

Seeing that Madam Min was about to lose her temper, Lady Changting pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "The princess is coming too."

Madam Min paused upon hearing this.

Madam Min understood the Changyang Earl's family's intentions; they truly wanted both.

They wanted to protect Pei Yutang, his concubine, and their child, but they also didn't want Min Siyue and Pei Yutang to divorce. They begged Min Siyue to be magnanimous and to swallow all her grievances and bitterness so that the Pei family could achieve harmony and prosperity.

But why should I?!

Why should they be exempt from any punishment for doing wrong, while Min Siyue, who suffers injustice, has to swallow all her bitterness?

Today, Madam Min made a huge scene, repeatedly demanding that Pei Yutang and Aunt Yuan be punished. But she also knew in her heart that even if she made a scene, at most she would only be given a minor punishment as a warning, and her daughter could not take revenge.

Her ultimate goal was to help Min Siyue divorce Pei Yutang and escape this quagmire.

The Marquis of Changyang's mansion wouldn't release her easily, so the more trouble she caused, the better.

If the princess were to come, it would be much easier to make the decision by asking her to take charge.

Perhaps... avenging his daughter isn't out of the question.
