Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and didn't speak for a long time. Li Rong couldn't help but laugh: "You've always been talkative, why don't you say a few words?"
Pei Wenxuan held the ceremonial tablet with both hands and lowered his head to chuckle. Li Rong raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at?"
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at her, "after so many years, you're still very cute."
Li Rong was a little confused. At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from the main hall: "Summon, Princess Ping L e, Pei Wenxuan, enter the hall — —"
Hearing this, the two immediately straightened their expressions. After looking at each other, they entered the main hall one after the other.
In the main hall, Concubine Ning and Yang Quan's father, the head of the Yang Family, Yang Lie, knelt together on the ground. Li Ming sat on the high seat and watched the two enter. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan didn't look sideways. They stepped forward and knelt beside Concubine Ning, greeting Li Ming.
"Ping L e," Li Ming asked the two to stand up and said calmly, "before, I asked you to be in charge of the Yang Family case. How is your investigation?"
Li Rong didn't dare to answer Li Ming's question too thoroughly. If he was too thorough and smart, he was afraid that Li Ming would be suspicious. Thus, Li Rong smiled and coughed lightly: "Lord Pei is helping me with this case. He can speak, but I can't. Let the Lord Pei speak."
"Pei Wenxuan."
"This humble subject is here."
Pei Wenxuan stood up. Li Ming looked at the young subject and said slowly: "A few days ago, you were accused of murdering the wealthy merchant Tuoba Yan. Recently, this Tuoba Yan came back to life and complained to Shuntian that the Yang Family sent people to kill him. Do you know?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "please allow me to report this matter in detail."
"Speak."
"Two months ago, Princess Ping L E held a spring banquet in a courtyard in the suburbs. Yang Quan wanted to marry the Princess, so he sent people to ambush the Princess on her way back to the palace. He wanted to be the hero to save the beauty and deceive the Princess. On the way back, this humble subject noticed Yang Quan's intentions. In order to save the Princess, this humble subject had a conflict with Yang Quan. Later on, this humble subject was saved by His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince brought this humble subject and the Princess into the palace. This humble subject went to meet His Majesty. His Majesty took pity on this humble subject and specially sent people to escort this humble subject back to his residence. Unexpectedly, Yang Quan held a grudge against this humble subject for ruining his plans.
"When His Majesty learned of Yang Quan's daring actions, he appointed Princess Ping L E as the chief judge, this humble subject to assist, and Assistant Minister Su as the supervisor to jointly investigate the Yang family. We accepted the order. After this humble subject filed a case for investigation, this humble subject sent people to secretly write a letter to expose the Yang family's actions in the northwest. It said that the Yang family had been collaborating with the enemy for many years and betraying the country."
"You're talking nonsense!"
When Yang Lie heard this, he shouted at Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan's expression did not change. Li Rong stood at the side and smiled as he waved his fan. He looked at Pei Wenxuan and continued, "According to this person, Rong country is bitter and cold. Even now, most of their weapons are still made of copper. It's just a small barbarian country. In order to stabilize their position, the Yang family reached an agreement with Rong country. Every autumn, Rong country would send troops to invade. The Yang family would ask for troops and food. When they arrived, they would divide the food equally with Rong country. It was a fake war, but in reality, it was just a show. For many years, big and small reports of victory were just Rong country taking money and cooperating with the Yang family to put on a show … "
"Ignorant child!"
Yang Lie stood up agitatedly. When Li Rong saw Yang Lie's movement, he tightened his grip on his golden fan and shouted, "Kneel down!"
Her shout was sonorous and forceful, startling Yang Lie a little. He gritted his teeth and knelt down again. Pei Wenxuan glanced at him indifferently and continued, "This is a one-sided story. However, since there is such a rumor, this humble subject naturally has to investigate. This humble subject heard that there is a foreign merchant in Huajing, Tuoba Yan, who has purchased many of the Yang family's relics. Thus, this humble subject asked Your Highness for permission to investigate this case with this Tuoba Yan. When we arrived at Tuoba Yan's residence, this humble subject stole the account books related to the transactions between Tuoba Yan's residence and the Yang family. I discovered that over the years, the amount of money the Yang family had obtained from Tuoba Yan alone was not small. The antiques that Tuoba Yan purchased from the Yang family far exceeded the normal price. It was obviously not an ordinary transaction. Thus, this humble subject followed the clues and found the Ministry of War to verify this. I compared all the account books and investigated the relevant personnel one by one. "
"This matter may have reached Concubine Ning's ears." Pei Wenxuan looked at Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning knelt on the ground without a change in expression. Pei Wenxuan turned his head and continued, "In order to eliminate the evidence, they killed Tuoba Yan and framed this humble subject and Princess Ping. At the same time, Yang Lie knew that his family members were trapped in his residence, so he plotted to kill the general at the frontline at that time. Then, he submitted his resignation letter to threaten Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty." Pei Wenxuan raised his head with a solemn expression. "Now, the accounts of the Northwest Frontline for the past ten years, the Ministry of War's account books, and Tuoba Yan's account books have all been reconciled. The amount of money and time that Tuoba Yan transferred to the Yang family matches the accounts of the Ministry of War and the frontline. Coupled with the testimonies of Tuoba Yan and the others, it is enough to prove that the Yang family has been stuffing their own pockets at the border all these years."
"How could they leave behind so much money? Now, according to the reports from the frontline, why did the Rong country have a large amount of Da Xia's weapons during their attack? With all the evidence added together, it is clear that what the informant said was true. "
"The Yang family's actions are deceiving the monarch, bending the law, harming the country and the people. They do not respect the Son of Heaven and do not care about the people. They colluded with the enemy to bully our Da Xia. Your Majesty." Pei Wenxuan knelt down and kowtowed. "The Yang family cannot be spared for such a heinous crime!"
After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. Everyone stared blankly at the kneeling Yang Lie and Ning Fei. After a long time, Li Ming opened his mouth and said, "Yang Lie, do you have anything else to say?"
Yang Lie knelt on the ground with his head lowered. After thinking for a long time, he laughed mockingly. "Whatever Your Majesty says, it is what it is."
"Ning Fei." Li Ming looked at Ning Fei and said indifferently, "What about you?"
Hearing Li Ming's words, Ning Fei raised her hands to support her knees and gracefully stood up.
"At this point, what's the point of Your Majesty asking these questions?"
Ning Fei raised her head and looked at Li Ming. "Whatever crimes the Yang family committed, isn't it Your Majesty's idea? Your Majesty needs the Yang family. The Yang family is at the border and has been fighting for half of their lives. Now Your Majesty thinks that the Yang family is hindering Your Majesty and wants to support Prince Su. The Yang family colluded with the enemy, betrayed the country, deceived the monarch, and bent the law. Ha … "Ning Fei laughed out loud." Funny, very funny! "
"Yang Wan!"
Li Ming shouted, "You're presumptuous!"
"I'm presumptuous?!" Ning Fei raised her hand and pointed at Li Ming. She shouted, "Your Li family forced me to this point, and you still don't allow me to be presumptuous?! Let me tell you. "Ning Fei turned her head and looked at the court officials." My Yang family's today is your future … "
"Guards." Li Ming ordered coldly. "Drag this crazy woman out."
As he spoke, the soldiers rushed up and pulled Ning Fei away.
Ning Fei got out of the door and struggled with all her might, but she couldn't be pulled out. She pushed the soldiers away and threw herself at Li Rong. "Li Rong, you idiot! He wanted to abolish Li Chuan for a long time! None of the men he arranged for you to marry are good! He can't wait to marry you out and let you die outside. You still respect and love him … Your Li family will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death! "
The soldiers pulled Ning Fei away. Ning Fei threw herself at Li Rong as if her life depended on it.
Pei Wenxuan stood in front of Li Rong without a trace. Li Rong looked at Ning Fei quietly, his expression as calm as death. Ning Fei screamed and screamed. In the end, when she pulled out the golden hairpin from her head, Li Ming shouted, "Kill her!"
The sword pierced through Ning Fei's body. At that moment, Pei Wenxuan subconsciously raised his hand to block Li Rong's eyes.
Blood splattered on Pei Wenxuan's sleeve. Li Rong held the golden fan in his hand and lowered his eyes, indifferent and motionless.
She could see Ning Fei's blood soaking in the hall and spreading all the way to her.
Then she heard someone dragging Ning Fei out. She suddenly said, "Wait."
Everyone looked at her and saw her use her golden fan to press down Pei Wenxuan's hand that was blocking his eyes. She looked at Ning Fei, who was being dragged out like a pig or a dog, and calmly said, "Aristocratic families are not allowed to humiliate themselves. Get a stretcher and a white cloth, and carry her out properly."
As she spoke, she took off her outer robe, walked in front of Ning Fei, and covered her body.
Not long after, people outside came in with a stretcher. They put Ning Fei on the stretcher, covered her with a white cloth, and carried her out.
Pei Wenxuan walked behind Li Rong and looked at Yang Lie. He only said, "General Yang, do you admit your guilt?"
Yang Lie raised his head and looked at Li Rong with his turbid eyes. After a long time, he kowtowed and said in a low voice, "This humble subject admits his guilt."
This sentence of "This humble subject admits his guilt" announced the end of the Yang Family.
Li Ming calmed down for a moment and said rather tiredly, "Take him away. The following matters will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Take the entire Yang Family into custody. Since his ancestors have rendered meritorious service to the court, leave his corpse intact and give him poison."
"This humble subject …" Yang Lie said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Yang Lie accepted his punishment, he was taken away. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan also left together. When they reached the door, Yang Lie staggered. Pei Wenxuan reached out to support him. Yang Lie raised his head and looked quietly at the young man who had killed his entire family.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
He said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, it is not easy to be a sword."
Pei Wenxuan's expression was calm. He looked up at Yang Lie. "Then General Yang, do you know what you are doing?"
Yang Lie did not understand. Pei Wenxuan helped him out and said lightly, "I have read General Yang's poem when he was young. General Yang once wrote, 'A white horse leads the army to the north, sweeping through Heaven's Pass to repay the country's kindness.' Does General Yang still remember?"
Yang Lie was in a daze. After a moment, he smiled bitterly. "There is actually someone who knows about these things."
"You are young and ambitious. Why don't you continue?"
Pei Wenxuan looked up at him. Yang Lie shook his head. "One person will not be able to clear the quagmire."
"Officials protect each other. Young Master Pei comes from an aristocratic family. You should know this better than I do. Young people are ambitious, but in the end, they will realize that the words of the elders are always right. "
Yang Lie smiled gently and patted Pei Wenxuan's shoulder.
"Lord Pei, send me here."
With that, Yang Lie turned around. He walked slowly and steadily with the chains in his hands.
"One day, Lord Pei will understand this old man's intentions."
Pei Wenxuan did not speak. He folded his hands in his sleeves and stood on the steps, quietly watching Yang Lie walk away.
Li Rong stood beside Pei Wenxuan and whispered, "Why ask a person who is about to die?"
"Only a person who is about to die," Pei Wenxuan said calmly. "Only a person who is about to die will tell you why he is about to die. And only in the future will you know how to prevent others from dying because of this."
"Didn't you understand what he said a long time ago?" Li Rong chuckled. "Did you live for fifty years in vain?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan also laughed. "I won't hide it from Your Highness. I have lived for fifty years, but I really didn't understand what he said."
"Liar." Li Rong immediately said. "If you didn't understand these things, why did you fight with me for the throne? When you were young, you also said that you wanted the common people to live a better life. In the end, didn't you fight with me for personal power? "
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he was silent. He wanted to explain, but he knew that his explanation was not suitable for Li Rong to know.
Li Rong could never understand his ambition, his ambition, and his almost naive way of thinking.
Because Li Rong was born in a high place, she had never been like him, walking through the fields, seeing the mountains and rivers, making all kinds of friends in Luzhou, and seeing the hardships of the common people.
Maintaining orthodoxy and stability was Li Rong's belief. But he knew that if he persisted in this belief, the end of Da Xia could already be predicted.
But he could not say these words, and Li Rong could not understand.
Li Rong saw that he did not speak, so he thought that he had poked his soft spot. He felt that his words were too harsh. While walking forward with him, he tapped the palm of his hand with his fan to save the topic. "But people are all like this. Didn't I also think about these things when I was young? You're still afraid that I'll see blood today? I've seen many … "
"Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan suddenly interrupted her. There was no joy or anger in his expression. Li Rong turned to look at him. He said, "Every time you see blood, your left hand trembles."
Li Rong slowly restrained his expression. Pei Wenxuan continued, "You always tell me that you and Su Yongqing are not sincere. You also say that you are selfish. But in the imperial court, not everyone can take the risk of putting clothes on a dead person because they can't bear it."
"Words spoken are not necessarily true." The two walked to the front of the palace gate. Pei Wenxuan stopped and turned to look at her. "And some words, although they are jokes, are not necessarily false."
"For example?"
Li Rong asked directly. Pei Wenxuan looked at her. After a long time, he suddenly said, "After leaving the palace, I'm afraid that we won't be able to see each other again before the wedding. In the short term, I plan to rebuild the previous information network. I need some money. "
Li Rong: "…"
"I really want to know." Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan with a face full of admiration. "How can you ask women for money so easily?"
"Because the money you give me today, I can pay you back double in the future." Pei Wenxuan smiled calmly. "Do you want to do this business?"
In her previous life, Pei Wenxuan's dark web was more powerful than Li Chuan's. When he established the dark web, he had set up a system himself. In order to ensure its efficiency, Li Rong's many channels of information had to go through him. Furthermore, the dark web was accompanied by various large shops. In the latter half of Li Rong's life, he didn't have to worry about food or clothing. It could be said that most of his wealth came from the money he invested in Pei Wenxuan in the early days.
Whoever didn't do such a profitable business would be a fool.
Li Rong wasn't a fool. He took out his token and handed it to Pei Wenxuan. "If you need anything, go to the princess's residence and find the housekeeper. But let me tell you, I don't have much money right now. This is all I have. Don't act recklessly."
"It seems that Princess Shang doesn't have much to gain." Pei Wenxuan took the token and showed a look of disdain. "I don't know if the other princesses have more money …"
"Give it back to me!"
Li Rong reached out to grab the token. Pei Wenxuan raised the token and put it behind his back. He used his other hand to stop Li Rong and said, "Your Highness, pay attention to your manners. I know I'm very beautiful. Don't molest me."
"Pei Wenxuan." Li Rong was so angry that she almost laughed. "You're shameless!"
Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. There was a complacent look on his face. He then turned around and walked towards the palace gate with his hands behind his back. He said, "Princess, you can escort me here. This humble subject will take his leave now."
"Who's escorting you! If you use a single copper coin from me, you have to record it in the account! I want to check the account! " Li Rong wanted to tear him apart, but she couldn't say too much in front of everyone. After yelling at him fiercely, she felt a little better. She turned around and was about to leave when Pei Wenxuan suddenly called out to her, "There's more."
Li Rong turned around and looked at the youth in front of the palace gate. He stopped and looked back at her. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "If there's a next time, I'll cover your eyes again."
Li Rong was stunned.
"You're a girl." Pei Wenxuan's eyes had an indescribable gentleness. It was like a warm summer wind that gently wrapped around people. He lowered his voice and said gently, "It's always good to have someone to protect you."
After Pei Wenxuan said this, he really didn't look back and walked out of the palace gate.
Li Rong quietly looked at his back. For a moment, she felt that even though they had known each other for more than thirty years, she didn't seem to truly understand what kind of person Pei Wenxuan was.
She was absent-minded for a moment. Then, she heard Jing Lan say, "Your Highness, His Majesty seems to have left court."
Li Rong heard this and came back to her senses. She sorted out her emotions and turned around, saying, "Let's go find His Majesty."
Li Rong sent someone to inform Li Ming. Then, she hurried over and had a meal with Li Ming.
Li Ming had just left court and arrived at Tai He Palace. After changing into casual clothes, he was holding a handkerchief to wash his hands when he heard that Li Rong had arrived. He smiled and had someone call Li Rong in. Li Rong bowed to him. Li Ming looked at Li Rong and said with a smile, "You've lost weight."
"You can't stay in that place," Li Rong said unhappily, "How can you not lose weight?"
"What," Li Ming threw the hot handkerchief back into the basin and walked to the table, "Are you blaming zhen?"
"No," Li Rong sighed, "The Yang Family has gone too far. Imperial Father, you have your difficulties, I know."
"You even understand?" Li Ming smiled and gestured for her to sit down, "You've grown up."
"What's not easy to understand?" Li Rong sat down, "I understand when Pei Wenxuan says it."
Li Ming heard Li Rong mention Pei Wenxuan and couldn't help but look at her, "I heard that you were locked up with him?"
"That's right," Li Rong picked up a pair of chopsticks and said casually, "Otherwise, I wouldn't know anyone and wouldn't have anyone to accompany me at night. How scary would that be?"
"You've been together for a while," Li Ming picked up the fish that the eunuch had removed the bones and said slowly, "What do you think of him?"
"Ah?" Li Rong stiffened when she heard this. Her expression was unnatural as she whispered, "He's … just alright."
"What do you mean by 'just alright'?" Li Ming looked at Li Rong's expression and knew what was going on. He laughed, "I gave you four candidates. Yang Quan is gone, so you have to choose one right?"
"Just …" Li Rong blushed, "Just … just alright."
Li Ming rarely saw Li Rong so bashful and couldn't help but laugh, "When did our Ping L become so inarticulate? Is it because that Pei Family's boy is incapable? If not, you can choose between Cui Yulang and Ning Shizi. "
"I didn't say that he's incapable."
Li Rong panicked and hurriedly said, "Young Master Pei is quite good."
"You're finally speaking the truth."
Li Ming picked up a dish with his chopsticks and smiled, "No one has been able to control you all these years. That Pei Family's boy is quite capable. What did he say to you? If Zhen locked you up, wouldn't you come crying and scolding Zhen? "
"He told me that Imperial Father loves me dearly. If he could help me, he would definitely help me. You must have some difficulties. Otherwise, you wouldn't treat me like this. Father and daughter are of the same mind. I'll always side with Imperial Father. I'll always be Imperial Father's sweetheart. "
"He's right about that." Li Ming sighed, "You've grown up a lot after being imprisoned. What about your Imperial Mother? Has she visited you? "
When Li Rong heard Li Ming's words, she immediately revealed a disappointed expression, "She … should have her own difficulties."
Li Ming sneered, "She does have her own difficulties. You're in prison, but she doesn't care about you at all. Every day, she comes to me on behalf of the Chuan'er and makes a fuss. She never mentions you at all."
When Li Rong heard this, her eyes reddened. Li Ming stopped eating. After a while, he slowly said, "Imperial Father is here for you. You don't have to be sad. Today, I didn't announce the marriage between you and Pei Wenxuan in the palace because I thought it wouldn't be good to see blood. In a while, I'll have someone send the imperial edict to the Pei Family. After you get married, you won't have to worry about the matters in the palace when you live in the Princess Residence. "
"I can't live in the palace in the future?"
When Li Rong heard this, she raised her head and looked at Li Ming with reddened eyes. Li Ming smiled helplessly, "How can a Princess live in the palace all the time? When you get married, you can live happily with Pei Wenxuan. "
Li Rong lowered her head and looked a little sad. Li Ming paused his chopsticks, then said, "Ai, you're crying all the time during the meal. Let's not talk about this anymore. Be happy. Let's talk about your marriage. I plan to set the wedding date on the third of next month. What do you think?"
"I'll listen to Imperial Father."
Li Rong sniffed, "Wasn't my marriage already in discussion? It was delayed for two months by the Yang Family. Did the Ministry of Rites not care about it?"
"Don't accuse them wrongly." Li Ming smiled, "Not only did the Ministry of Rites care about it, they also prepared two sets of wedding clothes for you. Go and choose one."
"Really?"
At the mention of wedding clothes, Li Rong's eyes lit up. Li Ming saw that she was like a child and couldn't help but laugh, "Childish. Why would I lie to you?"
Li Rong was happy. When she talked about the wedding process with Li Ming, she really looked like an 18-year-old girl, sticking to her father and talking about trivial things. After the meal, both father and daughter were in a good mood. Li Rong sent Li Ming to the Imperial Study. Before Li Ming left, he suddenly remembered, "Rong 'er, why did you put on a dress for someone like Concubine Ning today? Aren't you afraid of seeing blood? "
"Why wouldn't I be afraid?" Li Rong laughed, "But Erchen is a Princess. I can't let others see me as a joke. Concubine Ning … … has also interacted with her. "Li Rong sighed," I can't bear to see her like that. "
"You ah," Li Ming raised his hand and pointed at her. He said with some disappointment, "You're too soft-hearted. Alright, you can go back, Fulai, "Li Ming turned to look at the eunuch next to him," Let the Ministry of Rites send the two sets of wedding clothes for the Princess to choose from. If the Princess has any requests, let the Ministry of Rites add them. It's the wedding of Zhen's Princess Ping L, "Li Ming patted Fulai's shoulder," Don't act recklessly. "
When Fulai heard this, he bowed and sent Li Ming into the Imperial Study. Then he turned to Li Rong and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you see how much His Majesty cares about you."
"Of course," Li Rong smiled and said proudly, "I'm Imperial Father's most beloved daughter."
Li Rong waved her hand, "Bengong will go back first. Fulai won't send you off."
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Fulai bowed and respectfully saluted.
After Li Rong and Li Ming finished talking about the wedding, they yawned and returned to the Imperial Palace. At the same time, Pei Wenxuan also returned to his home.
When he was released from prison this morning, he had someone notify Dong Ye. After court, he avoided the carriages of the other elders of the Pei Family and waited for Dong Ye to pick him up.
Dong Ye brought a shabby carriage over and complained, "Gongzi, don't complain about the carriage. Last time, we didn't return the carriage that we took from the same courtyard. The old woman in charge of the carriage asked me for money every day. You haven't returned to the fu for so long and I didn't have the money to compensate her. She said that if we didn't compensate, she wouldn't let us use the carriage anymore. It's good enough that we were able to borrow one today."
Pei Wenxuan sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. He was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters. Dong Ye saw that he didn't speak and sighed, "These old wicked servants bully us. Look at those young masters in Second Master and Third Master's courtyard. Which one of them would be bullied because of a carriage? But Gongzi, when will you receive your monthly salary? You have to return the money for the carriage as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to attend court tomorrow. "
"First, I'll change my clothes. Then I'll have the money."
After changing his clothes, he went to the princess fu to get the money. With Li Rong's money, he would buy himself a carriage. He couldn't buy an expensive one. If Li Rong found out, he was afraid that he would be scolded for squandering money. First, he would buy a random carriage. When he had money in the future, he would buy a better one.
Pei Wenxuan seriously calculated. When Dong Ye heard Pei Wenxuan's words, he was quite worried. He felt that Pei Wenxuan might have suffered some trauma in prison.
When Pei Wenxuan arrived at the Pei Residence, he entered with Tong Ye and walked around the long corridor to return to his own courtyard. Just as he reached the entrance of his courtyard, he sensed that something was wrong. He could vaguely see that his courtyard was filled with people. He instantly had a bad feeling and immediately began to analyze who the people in his courtyard were.
There were only two groups of people who could bring people to wait for him in the courtyard. They were either his mother or his Second Uncle and Third Uncle.
And these two groups of people, no matter who they were, most likely wanted to stop him from marrying Li Rong. Back then, his mother didn't like him marrying a princess. It was just that she couldn't accept it. Now that the imperial edict had not been issued, it was entirely possible that his mother came to "save the situation".
If it was his Second Uncle and Third Uncle, then they definitely didn't want him to marry a princess. Once he married a princess, it meant that he had a backer and was no longer under the Pei family's control.
As soon as he thought that these people were here to disrupt his marriage, he felt irritated.
Although he was forced to marry Li Rong, it had indeed become his goal. In order to marry Li Rong, he killed Yang Quan and destroyed the Yang Family. Now, there were still people who wanted to stop him?
As soon as he thought about it, he felt irritated. He flung his sleeves and rushed forward, shouting in a low voice, "Why is it so difficult to marry a wife?"
Tong Ye was slightly dazed. Soon after, he saw Pei Wenxuan grab the ceremonial tablet and step into the small courtyard with a cold expression. He swept a glance at the group of servants sitting in the small courtyard waiting for him and said in a cold voice, "What are all of you doing here? Who allowed you to come in? "
Pei Wenxuan was already prepared. Whoever dared to interfere with his marriage, today he would make an example of them. He would use these servants to slap their faces.
Who would have thought that a fat woman at the front would come forward and salute Pei Wenxuan. She respectfully said, "Eldest Young Master, this servant has been waiting for Eldest Young Master for almost two months. When I heard that Eldest Young Master was coming back today, I specially waited here for Eldest Young Master."
"Why are you waiting for me?" Pei Wenxuan frowned and felt that something was wrong.
The woman gently smiled, "You borrowed the carriage two months ago and the debt hasn't been settled yet. Originally, a carriage isn't much, but after all, it belongs to a family. Everything has to be done according to the rules. Don't think that this old servant is making things difficult for you. Do you want to settle the debt with money or return the carriage? "
Pei Wenxuan, "… …"
Pei Wenxuan was silent for a moment. He adjusted his mood and calmly said, "How much?"
The woman raised two fingers, "200 taels."
After deducting the extra allowance such as food and silk cloth, his monthly salary was only 200 taels. Very good, he was sure — —
He couldn't afford it.
