Peng Shu had heavy eyelids on her upper body, but when she heard the word "mouse", she immediately woke up.

"Good luck, you go find some mouse clips to bury them next to the dog hole. Don't be too close, just bury them nearby. Build more and tightly. Also, don't let people see them. Anran, you go to the second room to spread some news, and you say that the person who released the rat last night lost something in the agarwood courtyard."

"There are several mouse traps in the woodshed in the backyard, and there is one that is particularly large." A Ying pointed the road.

"Mama You, A Ying, bring the mouse with you, let's go to Shousongyuan now." Peng Shu didn't remember being punished and confined in the palace.

Recently, she has been repeatedly punished and confined. These punishments in the Peng family are affected. In total, she can go out for more than half a year.

But, does she care?

Your mother didn't persuade her and followed her out of the agarwood courtyard with a wooden box.

At this time, the Madam in Shousongyuan had just finished using it and was about to wash and rest.

She is old and has always been pampered and is very tired today.

Just as Qingzhi was washing her feet and massaged her, Peng Shu arrived.

"Great-grandmother, Shu'er has important matters to report. We may be in the Peng family!"

"Clang."

When the lady heard the word plague, the tea cup in her hand fell directly to the ground, and the tea poured her all over.

"What? What's going on?"

She didn't care about washing her feet, so she got up and walked out barefoot in fear.

Qingzhi and Hui's mother, one carried her shoes and the other was chasing her with a foot cloth.

"Shu'er, plague? Where did the plague come from?" The lady rushed to Peng Shu, and her face was so nervous that she had a few more wrinkles on her face.

Others don’t know how powerful the plague is, but she knows it! Decades ago, one person suffered from the plague, and the whole family died!

"Great-grandmother, please see." Peng Shu opened the cage containing mice from above, and dozens of mice were chirping inside like a bunch of arrogances.

A mouse is something in the gutter, and it is ugly. It can cause visual discomfort when you see one on weekdays, let alone dozens of them are placed in the same cage.

The lady only glanced at her and immediately turned her head and stopped looking.

She held her heart and asked in a deep voice: "Where are so many mice?"

"Shu'er doesn't know, she only knows that there are dead." Peng Shu pointed to the pile of rats, "There were so many mice in the agarwood courtyard overnight. Shu'er guessed that someone had deliberately released them. Great-grandmother, someone might want to kill our whole family! I also asked the great-grandmother to ask the imperial doctor to check. If there is a plague, treat it in time... Ah! One ran out!"

A mouse as big as a radish rushed out of the cage and rushed into the old lady's yard.

"Hurry, catch it!" The lady's heart was about to jump out.

She is sure that there are no rats in the Peng family. When she was young, she saw someone die due to the plague. After she took over, the strictest control was to catch mice. If she found one, the servant who was responsible for cleaning would be beaten to death.

But it has been well managed over the years and rat poison works. It has not been killed by a mouse for more than ten years.

"Hurry, hurry up, the mouse was asked to bring the plague into my great-grandmother's yard." Peng Shu lifted her skirt and helped catch it.

Suddenly, the servants in Shousongyuan were in chaos.

Hui's mother went to the door of the cage and found that several dead inside, and her eyebrows were frowning.

"Madam, several died." She felt nauseous.

"Go, search the entire Peng family and find out this person! I dare to bring the mouse into the Peng family. I think she is tired of living!" The lady raised her heart high, afraid that it was the plague.

Shousongyuan was very disturbed and soon alarmed the whole family.

In the second room, Wu Ranjuan was in a state of peace.

"Why haven't the official come back yet? Have you been urging me?" She paced around the room, her palms so nervous that they were covered in sweat.

"I have sent someone to urge me, but the people from the yamen said that the second master had left the city and said nothing, only to say that he would return before the ceremony. Don't worry, young lady, there will be no trouble." Cuiyun didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Ignorance makes her fearless.

"Give me instructions and watch Fei'er, let's go to Shousongyuan."

However, as soon as she stepped out of the room, Yu's mother from the third room brought someone.

Yu's mother looked selfless and bowed her knees slightly, and said coldly: "Mrs. Second Young Master, there are suddenly so many dead mice in your second house. The Grandma is furious. Please take the Ninth Master to see the Grandma with us."

"Mom Yu." Wu Ranjuan tried hard to suppress her panic and signaled Cuiyun to give her some money to her.

Yu's mother confiscated the cash and took a few steps back, feeling a little arrogant, "Mrs. Second Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Mom Yu, I can go. Fei'er is still young. He is tired today. Why not let him stay in the second room to rest." Wu Ranjuan's posture was very low and almost begged.

Yu's mother was unmoved and signaled to several strong servants behind her, "The second wife has many more mice inexplicably. If there is a plague, can the second young lady be held responsible? The ninth young master is the legitimate son of the Peng family, so the grand lady naturally needs to protect her."

Wu Ranjuan knew that she could not be good today, so she could only watch the servant pick up Peng Fei and leave.

Peng Fei was frightened by the scene and cried.

Wu Ranjuan was so sour that she burst into tears and followed behind.

Yu's mother knew best how to deal with the woman in the back home. She deliberately refused to let Wu Ranjuan follow her, but only let her watch her son cry from afar.

Wu Ranjuan felt very hated, but no matter how very much she was, she could only clench her fists and pretend not to hate her.

The group of people rushed to Shousongyuan. Before the old Jiang and Xiao Jiang had arrived, Yang from the big house had arrived, but they only helped find mice and did not dare to talk much.

When Wu Ranjuan entered the yard and saw Peng Shu, she rushed up immediately and said furiously in a voice that only two people could hear, "Peng Shu, look at your brother!"

At this time, Peng Fei was "protected" by Yu's mother and prevented him from getting close to Wu Ranjuan. This scene was regarded as a child snatch by Wu Ranjuan. She couldn't think of anything else except that Peng Shu designed someone to take her son away.

"Why are you even hurting your relatives? You are so cute! Peng Shu, no wonder your father said that you were not good if you were touched by your mother's blood. I think it was really not good."

"What did my mother say? Are you saying that I was hurting my own brother?"

Peng Shu's mouth sagged and she burst into tears, "My mother said this, but it hurts my heart. Since you married my father, I have treated Fei'er as my biological mother and Fei'er as my only brother. How could I harm my brother? Since childhood, I will not give me what Fei'er wants? I still hope that I will get married in the future. If there is any disagreement with my in-laws, I will rely on my brother to support me."

"you!"

Wu Ranjuan was so angry that she was trembling. When others heard Peng Shu's words, they might think that she really loved her younger brother, but she was close to her, and the indifference and ridicule in her eyes were clearly visible. Those words were clearly acting for the third room to see!

"Peng Shu, if your brother has any problems, do you think you can have a good relationship?" Wu Ranjuan seemed to have known this stepdaughter for the first time. She was simply not like a human, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

Every strand of hair on her head made her feel a sense of soul trembling at this moment.

"Mother, go and save Fei'er. Those servants are not light or heavy. Fei'er has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. What should I do if I hit her? The third grandmother has always been strict, and the people under her command are the most difficult to get along with. I heard that the sixth uncle in the third room used to not like studying, and was almost beaten by the third uncle to death. Decades have passed, and the iron scars on the sixth uncle are still there."

Peng Shu looked worried, and there was no flaw in sight.

Wu Ranjuan felt that she was about to suffocate. When she was a child, she should have poisoned her medicine!

I originally thought that after all, I was a legitimate daughter, and I would get some benefits in the future. But the marriage with the Marquis of Wu'an was the third wife! She won nothing!

"You wait."

Wu Ranjuan was worried about her son, so she turned around and rushed over to hug Peng Fei, but was stopped by the servant.

And this scene was quickly reported to the third room.

"The third old lady, I just stood behind the pillar next to the second young lady. The second young lady scolded Miss Shu, saying that she was hurting her younger brother, and she made Miss Shu feel wronged. Miss Shu also said that if she was in a bad relationship with her in-laws in the future, she would have to support her."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom Chen." Old Jiang gestured to Rose to give the reward with a smile.

Yu's mother took out two taels of silver and handed it to Rose himself, "Mom Chen, the matter is done. You won't have to do a cleaning job outside the yard soon."

"Oh, thank you for your support from the third old lady! I will do my best." Mother Chen was overjoyed, took the money and left happily.
