When everyone shouted, they looked at Aunt Mu even more despised, as if she was just uneasy and kind-hearted to come and try to mess with her.

Mu Ruyan almost had a heart attack on the spot. She might have pretended just now, but she was really shaking. She couldn't even say a word when she wanted to defend herself. She could only escape with Xiao Cui's support.

After she left, everyone was still pointing at her back.

Xu Cheng hurriedly thanked the old lady Qi next to him, "Thank you for speaking up for justice!"

Old Mrs. Qi lowered her voice, "That one is your husband's concubine?"

Xu Cheng scratched her head embarrassedly. The old man sincerely helped her, and she didn't want to lie to her. "This matter is a bit complicated. She is the concubine, but I am not the real wife."

After she finished speaking, she clearly felt that the old lady looked at her with a little subtle look, as if she regretted helping her.

Xu Cheng sighed slightly in her heart, and she couldn't bear to let the old lady down. Listening to the discussions of those people just now, the old lady must have seen her former self!

He is an old man with a story!

"I originally... I had an engagement with the governor, but I am the one! What I want is a love and marriage for a lifetime, rather than a man's backyard life with three wives and four concubines. If I can't get such a dedicated love, I would rather not."

When he said the last sentence, Xu Cheng's eyes were firm, and his tone was unprecedentedly determined and serious.

An old lady Qi had a moment of trance on her face, and she muttered to herself, "A lifetime of one person..."

Xu Cheng nodded, "Maybe everyone has different ideas! Even though I didn't intend to be in that position, there would still be people who regard me as a thorn in my eyes and come to find fault everywhere."

Old Mrs. Qi seemed to recall some past events and sighed with emotion, "Yes! You know people and face but not your heart. Looking at a kind, simple and weak woman, you can't be so scheming that you can't be guarded against. If you don't provoke them, they will frame you and kill you..."

Her family was originally the richest man in Guangning, and she was in the business of cloth merchants. There were semicolons all over the country, and her family dominated. Later, with the rise of foreign cloth, her business gradually declined.

As the eldest lady of the Qi family, the matchmaker who came to her family to say they were close to breaking the threshold, but she looked down on any of them, but she fell in love with a poor scholar. She was willful and insisted on marrying him. Her father couldn't resist her and could only agree to this marriage. Later, she spent all kinds of money to help the poor scholar break up the relationship in the officialdom and help him rise to the top.

It is said that men will dislike their original wife when they have power. Qi Yanjun doesn't believe this at all, but this happened to her. Lord Cheng, who is the official censor, brought back a delicate and weak lady one day. She just thought that she had a new sister and took good care of her.

But the other party framed her everywhere. Every second before, she showed off in front of her husband's yard last night, and the next second she fell to the ground in pain. At this time, she would be caught by Lord Cheng who was returning home, and she would be scolded and accused...

Qi Yanjun grew up being spoiled by her parents since she was a child. She has a carefree personality and does not understand the intrigue between women at all, so she naturally failed.

Lord Cheng, who is increasingly favored in the court, no longer needs his father-in-law's money, and he is particularly taboo. Some people say that he has reached his current status by relying on his father-in-law. His gentle, virtuous, well-educated and well-educated concubine made his original wife look more and more like a rough man. He did not know everything about poetry and songs. Those who know business can only do business, and he cannot be called the title of censor's wife at all.

Qi Yanjun never expected that the advantages of being counted by her husband in detail would become an excuse for him to favor his concubine and destroy his wife in the future.

At that moment, she realized that when she likes someone, her shortcomings are also advantages. When she doesn’t like someone, her advantages also become disadvantages.

The reason she helped Xu Cheng today was mainly because she had met Xu Cheng in the garden downstairs these days. She smiled and said hello when she saw someone, and she would take the initiative to help the sick and widowed elderly man, leaving a good impression on her.

Another thing is that when Aunt Mu walked over with her maid Chuchu, that moment made her memory go back to forty years ago. It seemed as if a sharp blade had dug up her already dusty scar, and she couldn't help but help the little girl next to her.

Now that she heard what she said, she felt that she had helped the right person. The little girl's ideological awareness was really admirable! If she could have done this back then, would the ending be different?

But life has no ifs, and her life is almost over. The only regret is that the Qi family had closed only one store that lasted.

The content of the two chatting was heard by Twelve who were hiding behind the bushes. Since Xu Cheng was hospitalized, the governor arranged for him to protect Xu Cheng's safety in the dark, but he did not expect that he could hear such a conversation.

When he was changing shifts with Thirteen, he informed the governor of all the things that happened after Aunt Mu came today.

Hearing Xu Cheng's remarks about "a life and a pair of people", Pei Xiyan's index finger slowly rubbed the teacup in her hand, her black eyes were deep, making people unable to tell their emotions.

"She really said she had an engagement with me?"

"I heard it with my own ears."

Pei Xiyan felt a strange feeling in her heart. It was Xu Chen who had an engagement with him. Xu Cheng in the hospital was obviously another person, so why did she say that?

Could it be that I want to convey this message to myself through Twelve?

Pei Xiyan's eyes were dim and she spoke for a while, "Where is Aunt Mu?"

Twelve quickly reported the news that had just been heard in the mansion, "After returning to the mansion, Aunt Mu said he wanted to see you, the governor, and said that she had done something wrong today, and asked the supervisor to punish him."

Pei Xiyan took the bubbled tea and took a sip, "Didn't you say anything else?"

Twelve shook their heads, "No."

Pei Xiyan suddenly looked at him, "What do you think about this?"

Twelve looked slightly stern. As a witness, he thought Aunt Mu was quite unfair. He clearly said nothing, but the old lady turned her face pale.

After careful consideration, he said, "I think Aunt Mu has no excessive or inappropriate words. Miss Xu also enthusiastically invited Aunt Mu to sit down and chat. However, the old lady was a little aggressive and unyielding."

He followed the governor for many years, and they all saw the character of Aunt Mu. He was gentle and virtuous, and he did not fight or rob. Over the years, he managed the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner and got along very well with several other Aunts.

Such a virtuous woman is the virtuous supporter of the governor!

Pei Xiyan asked something irrelevant, "Xu Cheng and that old lady Qi have a good relationship?"

Twelve shook his head, "That's not. Before today, the two of them had spoken once, so I was quite puzzled."
