Chapter 39: This is clearly being guilty!

"Mother, why did you come out?" Pei Aosong handed the crying Yang Ge'er to the wet nurse and went to support his mother, "It's cold outside, and the full-month banquet is about to start. You should go back to the room and warm up." "Why can't I come out?" The Old Madam tapped the floor tiles with her cane, "If I didn't come out, wouldn't my daughter-in-law be bullied to the sky by that cheap concubine of yours!"

"Mother, I..." Pei Aosong walked toward Lin Jiaojiao under the gaze of the Su family and urged, "Jiaojiao, how could you push someone? Quickly apologize to Wanqiu!"

Lu Zhenting subconsciously blocked in front of Lin Jiaojiao, but Lin Jiaojiao faced Pei Aosong directly, "Which eye did you see me push someone?"

Su Wanqiu sat on the cold ground, tears streaming down her face, "Concubine Lin, it was ultimately my fault for not doing well enough, so you..."

She paused, squeezed out a smile, and choked up, "Concubine Lin, I know you didn't mean it, but the child is innocent. Fortunately, Yang Ge'er was not injured. Let's go back to the room together, don't let people see a joke here."

Some of the noble guests felt sad for Su Wanqiu and shook their heads, "Su Guniang is truly kind and generous. If I encountered such a concubine, I would definitely punish her severely..."

"That's right, which legal wife would be so accommodating to a concubine..."

Lin Jiaojiao looked at Su Wanqiu. She really didn't know if this personality was spoiled or acted out. If it was acted out, it was truly worthy of a round of applause.

Even so, her brain was still very clear. She forcibly resisted the instinct to go and check her leg and said, spreading her hands, "Fine, fine, fine, just assume I pushed you. Since you all dislike me so much, give me the Letter of Release for Concubine now."

"Presumptuous!" Su Hongtu shouted, "You say release, and we release? You pushed my daughter, causing Wanqiu to fall and injure her leg, and you want to just let it go simply?"

The Prime Minister's Wife followed up, "If such a vixen is not dealt with, wouldn't that be telling outsiders that the women of my Su family are to be bullied by cheap concubines? From now on, all the girls of the Su family won't have to live in their husband's house, all of them yielding and lifting up the concubines. Su Linlang, do you say so?"

As soon as the Old Madam heard her own sister-in-law call her by her name, her heart almost stopped beating. She was so angry that she tapped her cane, "Someone, take this cheap concubine to the Ancestral Hall and deal with her according to the third family law!"

"Yes!" The Pei Mansion servants responded and several strong men came over, wanting to frame Lin Jiaojiao and take her away.

Lu Zhenting protected Lin Jiaojiao behind him and said with a firm gaze, "This is my Imperial Physician, don't you dare deal with her!"

"General Lu," Su Chunyan saw this and stepped forward to persuade, "This is my brother-in-law's family affair, and it also concerns the future marriage of the girls of our Su family. I ask General Lu not to interfere. Besides, Aunt has a good heart and won't hurt her."

"That's right, General Lu, why do you want to interfere in other people's family affairs?" Someone helped speak.

Lu Zhenting was not good with words, but Guo Shi beside him had a mouth that could speak. Although she knew that offending her employer was not a good thing, she decided to go all out for Lin Jiaojiao, "Yo, yo, yo, if your aunt had a good heart, then there wouldn't be vengeful ghosts in the Pei Mansion, wailing in the middle of the night wanting revenge!"

"I heard that maid was called Xiao Cui, right?" Guo Shi told the gossip she had heard from the Pei Mansion in the past, "Poor Xiao Cui, just because she said the wrong thing, she had her tongue pulled out by your beloved aunt and was beaten to death with sticks."

The Old Madam's face turned pale with fright and she shouted to the servants, "You bunch of wimps, why don't you go over and seal her mouth!"

"Everyone, take a look, take a look," Guo Shi hugged Pei Tiezhu and shouted to the surroundings, "Those passing by, don't miss it! You have all seen this Old Madam; she is not someone easy to get along with. I just said a few words, and she wanted to order people to seal my mouth! This is clearly being guilty!!"

After she shouted like this, even the passing commoners heard it and stretched their necks to look. The noble families who came to the banquet didn't dare to make a sound, but their ears were very honest, all pricked toward Guo Shi.

"Heh, none of the people in their Su family are easy to get along with." At this time, another woman's voice came. Everyone looked and found that the person speaking was actually Song Mu!

Walking beside her was Song Fu. Song Fu was holding a congratulatory gift. When he walked over, he threw the gift directly into Pei Aosong's hands, but his face turned to Su Hongtu, "Lord Su, long time no see."

Everyone saw the tall, thin, and upright Song Fu and gave way one by one. Some even bowed and greeted him, respectfully calling him "Former Prime Minister."

"Uncle, Aunt, why have you come?" Lin Jiaojiao hadn't seen them for a few days. When she saw them, a flash of joy crossed her eyes, but this was the first time she knew that Song Fu was the Former Prime Minister, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked in her heart.

Song Mu held Lin Jiaojiao's hand, "Good child, we came late and let you suffer grievances."

"We came by invitation to send a congratulatory gift to the Pei family's little young master. Originally, we didn't plan to come, but thinking that you will be our Song family's daughter-in-law in the future, we must come over once to help you get the Letter of Release for Concubine, so that we can marry you into our Song Mansion in a grand manner."

Seeing that Su Wanqiu was so familiar with the Former Prime Minister couple, and even personally came forward to let the Pei Mansion release the concubine so that Lin Jiaojiao could marry into the Song family in a grand manner, many noble guests were shocked.

Even Su Hongtu, who was usually steady and couldn't see his expression, looked a bit ugly on his face. He called Pei Aosong over, "Aosong, this concubine of yours is very capable. Raised in the deep courtyard, she can actually have contact with the Former Prime Minister Lord Song."

"Son-in-law..." Pei Aosong understood that he was in a Shura field. But he could offend anyone, except the current Prime Minister, his own father-in-law.

He braced himself and bowed, "Son-in-law really didn't know that she would actually..."

Lin Jiaojiao stared at him with wide eyes. Truly a coward! Clearly, he went to General Lu's Mansion to ask for her back a few days ago and knew that she would marry Song Shijie in the future, but now he was pretending to know nothing!

But no matter what, she had to get this Letter of Release for Concubine today! ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
