Qin Muxiu was shocked and realized that Emperor Wen of Jin's recent behavior was actually wrong. No matter how talented a top scholar was, he was not worthy of such praise from the emperor.

"You didn't refuse?"

"Of course I refused! You don't know how many eyebrows behind me poked my back! How dare I not refuse? But the emperor was like he was determined to eat the weight. No matter what I said, he had a set of words to call me back. I'm in a difficult position now! Besides, other court officials will mock me for being ungrateful."

"Since that's the case, you can just respond first. When I go and inquire, let's see what the emperor means."

"You can ask quickly! This is so scary! It's been lifted high, and I don't know what's underneath, and I don't know when it will fall down." Pei Feng said with a frown.

Qin Muxiu went to the palace to ask Mu Yi about this.

After hearing this, Mu Yi frowned and said, "I have never heard of a newly released top scholar who can get such a high level. The official and the favored ones, the father is not a targetless person, and it must have a deep meaning."

"Can you find out the news?"

"I have a companion to study. Now I am serving in the Ministry of Rites to serve in the Qing Office. I heard that I will be doing business in the palace today. I will ask, the teacher, please wait for me for a while."

"good."

Mu Yi came back after about an hour.

"Have you asked?"

“Ask.”

"Tell me quickly."

But Mu Yi looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's very difficult."

"Um?"

"The father and Yupin fell in love with Brother Pei and wanted to choose him as their son-in-law."

Qin Muxiu was stunned, "Ah?"

Mu Yi curled his lips, "There is only one princess Wanhua under the father's knees. He has loved and favored him since he was a child. Since he fell in love with Brother Pei as his son-in-law, he could not be wronged by the princess, so he was promoted to the title and rewarded him continuously. To put it bluntly, he was adding makeup to the princess."

"Is there any turnaround in this matter?"

"It's hard to get to this point." Mu Yi also sighed, "It's just that Sister Pearl has suffered. I have to ask Brother Pei to compensate her more. It should not be difficult to choose a good son-in-law."

In his heart, just marrying, if a family fails, then change the person.

Moreover, with Pei Feng's talent and knowledge, he will definitely shine in the future. He also needs a wife who can help him in his career.

Qin Zhenzhu is a bit unsatisfactory for Pei Feng now.

Qin Muxiu's face was gloomy, "Zezhu didn't dislike him for being poor at the beginning. Could it be that once he was prosperous, he would have to kick off the chaff? Although the Qin family was poor, they didn't care about his compensation at all."

Mu Yi knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stood aside and did not dare to say anything.

Qin Muxiu glanced at him coldly and said, "Whether you are a person or a king, the most important thing is the word "trust". If you lose your trust, how can you convince others? The civil and military officials in the court do not obey you, you will have the ability to be in heaven and you will not want to govern the country well."

"The student knew he was wrong." Mu Yi said ashamed.

"You may not be able to really know your mistakes now. Only by suffering a great loss of breach of trust can you understand my verbal talk today."

Qin Muxiu left without saying much.

When he got home, he said nothing and bowed to Pei Feng, "Congratulations to Pei Zhuangyuan."
