When Shangguan Wu heard this, she relaxed and was about to open her mouth, but was interrupted by Zhen Wan.

Zhen Wan asked, "Do you know which one is Qing Fu?"

attendant looked at Shangguan Wu's eyes again and immediately pointed at Qing Fu, saying, "It's her, she's Qing Fu."

Zhen Wan shook her head and said, "No, she's not Qing Fu."

"Third Miss, it's my fault, the girl beside her is Qing Fu." When attendant heard this, he panicked. He hurriedly changed his mouth to identify the other person to defend himself.

"Grandmother, this attendant is clearly lying. He doesn't know who Qing Fu is, but he mentioned Qing Fu's name in his speech. Clearly, he was bribed by someone." Zhen Wan said slowly.

The old lady was enraged and shouted, "Take him down and beat him sixty times, chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs." "Hello, how dare you deceive me, someone come!"

"Old madam, have mercy!" First Madam, save this servant. " attendant immediately turned around and pulled Shangguan Wu's leg.

Shangguan Wu kicked him away and ordered him to be pulled down. The gloominess in the old mistress' eyes grew.

"Where are the others? All the concubines present at that time, tell us about it! " The madame's sullen gaze swept across the people who were initially watching the show in the room. She spoke with authority and without a hint of anger.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak. Just as the old mistress was about to lose her patience, a concubine spoke timidly, "To reply the madame, I saw First Madam push Su Pingqi before I fell down."

Everyone immediately agreed when they heard this. Straight Wife was trying to add insult to injury at this time, so the servants naturally followed their masters. There were even some who didn't understand the situation.

Thus, everyone immediately started to testify against Shangguan Wu. This was exactly what Zhen Wan wanted.

Shangguan Wu became anxious the moment she heard that and explained incoherently, "You! You... Speak! Are all of you colluding with me? You want to frame me together!? At this point of time, not only are you not helping me clarify things, you're even adding insult to injury! "

Shangguan Wu pointed her fingers one by one. The concubines who were pointed out tilted their heads to the side, pretending to be looking at something, not daring to meet Shangguan Wu's eyes.

The servant girls lowered their heads, avoiding Shangguan Wu's gaze. But Shangguan Wu could see that all of them were gloating in their hearts, waiting to see her make a joke of herself.

After a moment, the madame heard the evidence and confirmed that Shangguan Wu was the culprit. No matter what, she could not pass up face, so she could only sneer and viciously slapped the table a few times while cursing, "My lord, kneel down! I did not expect that you would be so vicious and harm a descendant of the Zhen family. I actually did not realize that I had such a ambitious person by my side. How do you want me to face the ancestors of Zhen Family after I die? "

Shangguan Wu sat paralyzed on the ground. She knew she had no other choice, but she did not give up hope. She said again, "Mother, someone framed me. I did not push Su Pingqi away. Mother, you have to avenge me!"

"Hmph, Third Miss still hasn't left the hall, how could she have that kind of ability? Every servant will buy it, you don't have to explain yourself, considering how long you have worked at Zhen Mansion, I will definitely not let you off, but I will also not let you off."

The madame said coldly and immediately ordered punishment, "Men! "Drag this jealous woman down and kneel her knees outside for one day. Do not drink water or eat, ban her for two more months, and punish her with six months' monthly salary!"

"Yes sir!" The two servants guarding the door rushed forward as soon as they heard the order, but they were still afraid of Shangguan Wu's identity. They could only stand beside Shangguan Wu and half-forcefully say, "Shangguan Wu, please!"

"Let me go, let me go! Get out of my way! " First Madam forcefully opened the arms her two servants were about to reach out to her, kneeling and taking two steps towards the madame. "Old madam, old madam, I did not have any. I was wronged. Old madam, you must avenge me!"

The old mistress looked at Shangguan Wu with disgust as she wailed at the two servants, "What are you two standing around for?!" Hurry up and bring him out of here! "

"Zhen Wan, you and I have no enmity with each other, why are you framing me like this!" Shangguan Wu pointed a finger at Zhen Wan who avoided her in fear, then turned around and walked a few steps away. Her finger pointed towards Qing Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and she roared fiercely, "And you! "You lowly slave, how dare you collude with Zhen Wan to frame me!"

The two servants did not dare to delay any further. They directly grabbed Shangguan Wu's arms from her left and right, pulling her out with all their might. Shangguan Wu continued to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried, she was still only a woman. How could she compare to two strong men? She was dragged out of the room with ease.

Even when she was dragged to the door, Shangguan Wu still kept waving her arms and crying to the madame, trying to get the madame to take back her punishment. I have been wronged, madame! "Old madam!"

However, it was to no avail. On the contrary, it aroused the old mistress' displeasure. Slowly, the sound became softer and softer until it disappeared outside the house.

The other concubines became happy when they saw that Shangguan Wu had been punished so harshly. They immediately restrained their laughter and pretended to comfort the madame, "Old madam, since the truth has been revealed, there's no need for you to worry. It's not worth the trouble. Please be at ease, your body is more important!"

"Yes, yes, madame, please go easy on me!" "Su Pingqi's child in her womb should be fine, so you can rest assured too." The others quickly followed suit.

"Yes." The Countess took a few deep breaths before turning her gaze to Su Pingqi. She slowed down her tone and said, "Since you fell down and your body is weak, there's no need to rest for now. Take good care of your body so that you can give me a big fat grandson in the future."

"As you command." Su Pingqi replied softly. That slightly sickly pale face coupled with her soft and weak voice was a bit heartbreaking.

Zhen Wan thought that no one would dare to bully her mother again after such a ruckus. Perhaps this would change her fate in her previous life, and she might even have a younger brother or sister.

The madame nodded her head and told the imperial physician, "I'll have to trouble you this time." "Imperial Physician Su Pingqi, please do your best to protect the child in Su Pingqi's womb."

"You are too kind, madame. I will do my best." The imperial physician was still using the same words as before.

The Countess had instructed Zhen Wan to take care of her mother's body, and had chatted with other people about family matters. Perhaps it was because of her age and First Madam's incident, but she felt a little tired.

Zhen Wan carefully helped Su Pingqi up and walked out of the house. When they reached the stairs, she reminded her in a low voice to be careful. Just like that, the two of them slowly walked back to their own room, accompanied by Qing Fu. Zhen Wan actually felt very carefree when she passed by Shangguan Wu, smiling as she greeted her. Shangguan Wu was so angry that even though her teeth were itching, she didn't dare disobey the madame's order and could only stare helplessly.

After kneeling for one day, Shangguan Wu's legs were completely numb. She needed the support of a servant girl to stand up. When she returned to her room, she found that her entire knee was swollen and red.

The servant girl hurriedly helped Shangguan Wu to sit on the bed, then went to get the best medicine to dissolve the blood. She knelt down and carefully rubbed the medicine on Shangguan Wu's knees, then gently rubbed it on her knees.

Shangguan Wu instantly gasped in pain. Remembering the scene of being framed by Zhen Wan and the punishment she had received, she felt stifled and miserable, and without anywhere to hide, she kicked her servant girls fiercely in the face. "Zhen Wan's mother and daughter, those two bitches! You dared to frame me, and made me fall into such a situation. I must teach them a lesson, or else you would think I am easy to bully! "

"First Madam is right, of course we can't let those two bitches go. But now that Su Pingqi has met with this kind of situation, it's the perfect time for everyone to sympathize with her, even the madame. Lady, if you speak out to make things difficult for her, you might make her unhappy."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Shangguan Wu thought so as well. Seeing that the servant girl seemed to have an idea, she hurriedly asked.
