Chapter 324 Madam Zhen's Angry
The maids serving her hair knelt on the ground, while her personal nanny coaxed them:
"Madam, calm down and don't upset yourself. Just deal with that little slut. Your health is the most important thing."
Madam Zhen snorted coldly:
"Hmph! Since he's so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. Tell me to get ready; I need to go to the study."
Knowing that the Emperor wouldn't be going out today, Master Zhen dared to stay out until midnight last night and only fell asleep just before dawn. He's sleeping soundly now.
When the servant Sanji saw his mistress approaching with her entourage in a menacing manner, he quickly stood up and greeted her.
"Greetings to Grandma."
The First Madam snorted coldly, and the nanny beside her immediately went over and slapped the servant Sanji across the face.
"You blind fool! Where has all your usual cleverness gone? You don't even know how to advise your master!"
"What's going on here? How dare you let that little bitch come here, allowing her to set foot in this sacred and tranquil study, defiling the Way of Tranquility!"
Last night, the old man was causing trouble, and Sanji stood guard at the door, then escorted Aunt Mei back home. Now, still half-asleep, he got slapped a few times. No matter how wronged Sanji felt, he could only kneel down.
The first wife ignored him and had someone open the study door.
The commotion woke Zhen Chenhao. He lay on the soft couch inside, eyes closed, and said impatiently:
"Sanji, Sanji, didn't I tell you not to be disturbed? Get out."
"Oh my, our master has quite the airs!"
Upon hearing that voice, Zhen Chenhao knew that the tigress must have found out about what happened last night.
Zhen Chenhao got up, put on his clothes, and came out from behind the screen, smiling:
"Oh my, what brings you here, Madam?"
The first wife snorted coldly, sat down, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known what kind of mess the master had made of the study."
“Look, what are you saying, Madam? I haven’t even gotten up yet.”
Zhen Chenhao leaned closer with a bright smile.
"Hmph, I know perfectly well what I did last night."
The maidservant quickly brought a chair for the First Madam, who sat down and said coldly.
Zhen Chenhao felt guilty and embarrassed in front of the servants, so he waved for them to leave.
"Who made Grandma angry so early in the morning? Tell me and I'll settle things for you."
"Don't pretend with me. That slut must be dealt with today."
The father repeatedly warned that the Emperor must be careful and cautious in everything he does while he is in the Zhen family.
But for his own selfish desires, Master actually dragged that little hussy into the study and made a ruckus until midnight. If outsiders found out, it would be a disgrace to the Zhen family.
The first wife had a terrible headache. Looking at the respectable-looking man in front of her, she was even less inclined to be hypocritical.
Seeing that the First Madam wasn't giving him any face at all, Zhen Chenhao was getting a little annoyed. He had already offered her a way out, but this woman was only holding her head high.
Zhen Chenhao simply stopped pretending, got dressed, and sat down on the stool.
"Then what do you want to do? If you still have any respect for the Zhen family, you shouldn't have come here so openly this morning. If outsiders find out about this, it's your doing and has nothing to do with me."
Zhen Chenhao's nonchalant attitude infuriated the First Madam even more, and she pointed at him, saying:
"If you don't do something shameful, why would you be afraid of others finding out!"
And that wretched woman, I always thought she was a restless person.
You said that if I took her in, she would change her ways, so I turned a blind eye and took her in.
Who knew that after coming in, she didn't restrain herself at all, acting like a brothel girl every day, completely disgracing the Zhen family. Today, I will deal with her no matter what.
The First Madam didn't come to make a scene; she came to deal with Chunmei. She had disliked Chunmei for a long time and wanted to get rid of her, but she hadn't found an opportunity before.
Chunmei is still a concubine, and since she's been formally documented, she can't be dealt with casually. Now that she has the opportunity, she's determined to seize it.
Zhen Chenhao also snorted coldly.
"As expected, no one gets up early without a reason. You've been disliking Chunmei for a long time, so why bother raising this banner?"
"Let me tell you, Chunmei is someone I took in as a concubine, a proper one, officially registered. She's not someone you can just do whatever you want with."
"I am the eldest wife of the Zhen family, dealing with a mere concubine. I am not qualified!"
Besides, her actions yesterday, which involved pestering you, were excessive. If you don't agree, I will go to Father and let him judge."
"What else can you do all day besides go to see your father? What else can you do?"
Zhen Chenhao felt annoyed when she used her father to pressure him again.
The first wife disagreed.
"I'm also telling you, I can't let this little slut live."
Zhen Chenhao knew that this woman would definitely cause trouble now that she had the chance. If she made a scene and went to his father, Chunmei wouldn't be able to stay. It would be better if he spoke up and kicked Chunmei out first. Then he would find someone to buy a house outside and settle Chunmei down so that she could be more comfortable outside in the future.
"Alright, I accept what's going on now. Then kick Chunmei out."
The first wife raised an eyebrow and sneered:
"Do you think I'm an ignorant child, easily kicking her out and giving her her freedom so you can buy a house outside and support her?"
When his plan was exposed, Zhen Chenhao gave up and did whatever he wanted.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we going to kill her? Even a maid shouldn't be killed so easily. Besides, she's my concubine. I only slept with her once, and you, the mistress of the house, are already shouting for her to be killed? If word gets out, you'll just have a reputation for being jealous."
Seeing that the person opposite him was flushed with anger but didn't utter a word in rebuttal, Zhen Chenhao couldn't help but continue smugly:
"She was the concubine I brought in, so it's only natural for me to sleep with her."
"Look at any woman, who dares to prevent her husband from sleeping in her concubine's room? If word gets out, people will gossip about her. If you don't feel ashamed, go ahead and tell everyone."
The first wife's chest heaved with anger. Her words were infuriating, yet every word made sense. If she were to be labeled as jealous, it would affect her son and daughter.
But looking at the smug face on the other side, she really wanted to go up and scratch his face until it was covered in bruises.
Originally, she planned to sell Chunmei to another place to work as a maid, but seeing the smug face of the person opposite her, she was determined not to let him have his way.
The first wife took a breath and said:
"Yes, you're the boss, it's easy for you to sleep with a woman, and it's even more reasonable for you to sleep with your own concubine. No one has the right to criticize you. But do you dare let the Emperor know that you're sleeping with your concubine in the study? As long as you don't care about women and are focused on the good reputation of the court, I don't care."
"You jealous woman, how dare you!"
Zhen Chenhao's expression changed instantly. He was currently enjoying great prestige in front of the Emperor, who even praised him for his upright character and impeccable manners. What would happen if word got out?
The first wife said coldly:
"I dare not have a daughter for the sake of my son, but you can't have your way either!"
"I'm going to sell Chunmei off, sell her to a brothel. Since she likes the ways of brothels, seducing men like a vixen, then let her go there and have her fill."
