"Wow..." Xu was frightened by the scream of Mrs. Wei Guogong, and Xiao An cried even harder.
Shen Wan took a few deep breaths, walked to the stroller, picked up the child, and gently patted his back to coax him.
"Zi'an is not afraid, Zi'an is not crying." Shen Wan kissed her son's little face which was flushed from crying.
"Mother hiccup..." Xiao Zian cried so much that he hiccupped.
Seeing that Shen Wan finished beating herself and went to comfort the crying child as if nothing had happened, Mrs. Wei Guogong was furious and rushed forward to beat Shen Wan.
Shen Wan held the child and dodged, then raised her foot and kicked Mrs. Wei Guogong in the stomach.
"Ouch," Mrs. Wei Guogong was kicked to the ground, her head hit the stone floor, and her bun fell apart.
The palace people who heard the screams trotted over and looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong on the ground. They were all stunned, and then hurriedly helped Mrs. Wei Guogong up.
The Queen Mother and others who came back from watching Bing Tilian heard the voice of Wei Guogong's wife and came over.
The Queen Mother was held by Concubine Shu, and a crowd of people followed behind her.
"What happened?" the Queen Mother asked sharply, her face looking a little ugly.
Today is her birthday, but someone is making trouble. Doesn't this bring bad luck to her? Can she not look ugly?
Concubine Shu frowned when she looked at her sister-in-law, whose hair was disheveled and looked like a crazy woman. She felt so embarrassed. How could she be like this?
When Concubine Liang saw Mrs. Wei Guogong like that, she touched the tip of her nose with her handkerchief to cover the raised corners of her mouth.
"Hey! What happened to Mrs. Wei Guogong? Why are you in such a mess?"
Ji'er broke away from the nurse's hand and ran to Shen Wan. He raised his head and looked at her with his little brows furrowed and asked: "Auntie, why is my brother crying?"
Shen Wan curled her lips, looked down at him and said softly: "I was scared."
"Who scared my brother?" Ji'er put his hands on his hips and looked a little fiercely. He looked like he would hit whoever scared his brother.
Shen Wan did not speak, but just glanced at Mrs. Wei Guogong. The three-year-old child understood immediately.
"The Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu, you have to make the decision for me!" Mrs. Wei Guogong, who was supported by the palace daughter, broke away from the support of the palace daughter, knelt on the ground and howled. Today, Shen Wan was at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The Queen Mother would definitely be furious if she was beaten in the palace. Not only would Concubine Shu not let Shen go, but even the Queen Mother would not spare her lightly.
Xiao Zi'an, who had almost stopped crying, started crying again when he heard her howling. The cry was so heartbreaking that the Queen Mother and all the female relatives were heartbroken.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Wei Guogong's wife and scolded her lightly: "Stop howling, you are scaring the children to tears."
Mrs. Wei Guogong's howl stopped suddenly, and she looked up at the Queen Mother with a wronged face. Only then did everyone see the distinct slap mark on her face. When the daughter of the palace helped her, her right face was covered with scattered hair. It was blocked, so no one saw it. Now that they saw it, their eyes widened in shock.
The Duke of Wei's wife was beaten, who did it?
Many people looked at Shen Wan who was coaxing the child. There were only three of them here, Mrs. Chen Guogong and Mrs. Wei Guogong. It was obvious who beat this one.
Ji'er trotted up to Mrs. Wei Guogong, kicked her angrily, and cursed "bad guy" with a little pout.
Her nephew, in front of the most distinguished ladies of Dongchen Kingdom, kicked her aunt and called her a bad person. Mrs. Wei Guogong's face only felt like it was burning.
"Second Prince, I am not a bad person, I am your biological aunt!"
"Go and bring the second prince back." Concubine Shu whispered to the wet nurse beside her.
"Yes," the wet nurse quickly ran over, bent down and carried the second prince back to Concubine Shu.
"What happened?" Concubine Shu looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong and asked, "Sister-in-law, who hit you?"
She already knew in her heart that it was Shen Wan who beat her sister-in-law, because Mrs. Chen Guogong would not beat her sister-in-law, let alone have the courage to beat someone in the palace.
Shen Wan is such a good person, and she is such a good person in the Zhenbei General's Palace. She has not given her face many times and ignored her. Now she is even slapping her natal sister-in-law in the face in the palace. This is slapping her Wei. The family’s face is slapped in the face of a concubine like her!
