Pei Ruochen started quietly checking classical medicine books in the study early in the morning, but was disturbed not long after. The person who came in was his bodyguard.
"Master, there are people on the street who are spreading wealth under the banner of our Pei family!"
Pei Ruochen raised his eyes slightly, "Spread the wealth?"
"Yes, it's just that Mrs. Yu's guards are at home, and the way to distribute wealth is to let the people say good or bad things about a Pei family. As long as they tell the truth, they can get something."
"What is it?"
"A box of jewelry and a box of silk and satin."
Oh, interesting! Did you get into trouble with him this time?
The guard glanced at Pei Ruochen and added in a low voice: "Master, it seems that Madam had someone carry those things to the painting garden early in the morning."
What? Pei Ruochen's eyes turned cold, "Why did Madam ask someone to send something to the painting garden?"
The guard hesitated to speak and looked at Pei Ruochen. Pei Ruochen snorted coldly, "Don't want to say?"
"I don't dare, but I'm just not sure, because the madam also sent a letter to Mrs. Yu. I heard that Mrs. Yu became furious after reading the letter, and then ordered her housekeeper to disperse the wealth like this."
"Don't you know the content of the letter?"
"I'm sorry, Master, we didn't pay attention to check."
Pei Ruochen's face darkened. His mother must have offended Yu Tianrong! "What's the situation outside?"
The guard looked at Pei Ruochen in embarrassment, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth, "There is a huge crowd of people, and many people are rushing to say it, both good and bad."
"Hmph, did you also reveal some unknown inside stories, such as the grudges between servants?"
The guard nodded with difficulty. He really wanted to tell Pei Ruochen that he actually had something to say about him, but he thought it was too dangerous to say anything and let the young master listen to it on his own, lest he be put on the knife's edge.
Pei Ruochen put down the book and said, "Let's go and have a look."
When he came to the street, Pei Ruochen was dumbfounded. This was really not an ordinary bustle. Xia Yue chose the most lively excuse. There were so many people coming and going. They were attracted by their money and half of the road was blocked.
.On the stage was Xia Yue and his men who were busy, and there was an endless stream of people coming to the stage to talk.
"The young master of the Pei family is extremely handsome, but unfortunately he has no interest in women and is suspected of having his sleeves cut off!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the crowd, and Pei Ruochen's guard elongated his face. He didn't expect that there was something more explosive! Look carefully at his young master's face, uh, calm and composed? So calm! The guard's heart trembled.
Well, the calmer their young master is, the more angry he may be!
"There is something fishy about the young lady of the Pei family and her bodyguard. I once saw them being very close!"
With a rumble, Pei Ruochen's guards were stunned and stared blankly at the screen on the stage.
In order to avoid disputes, Xia Yue asked the speakers to stand on the screen separately, but they spoke in groups and then left together, thus avoiding the speakers from being retaliated against.
Pei Ruochen's guard turned his head to Pei Ruochen almost stiffly, and said in a gurgling voice, "Master...here, we--"
"Listen carefully, you may be able to gain something good!"
"Yes." It's so uncomfortable. When the young master doesn't explode, it really frightens these personal guards!
At this time, another sentence came from the stage, "The young master of the Pei family had an affair with the former wife of the general protecting the country, and they left a son." Originally, the people on the stage spoke in a very low voice.
Xia Yue and the others could hear it, but Pei Ruochen and his guards were both highly skilled in martial arts, so they could hear everything clearly that others couldn't hear.
Pei Ruochen's bodyguard already wanted to escape. He thought it would be better for him to leave his master first and come back after the dark clouds cleared.
Pei Ruochen always looked at the busy Xia Yue on the ring with a gentle smile. He saw that Xia Yue was selective in believing what the people said. Look, he had just vetoed the words that were not good for their wife. The words that were not good for him.
But he didn't veto it, haha... what a good steward!
Xia Yue received the sharp gaze and raised her eyes to meet Pei Ruochen's. He smiled and shrugged, indicating that he was just following orders.
Pei Ruochen smiled lightly, indicating that he didn't care.
"Master, we--"
"There's no need to stop him. When we get back, let's investigate the guard named A Hai in the young lady's courtyard!"
"Yes, Master." Unfortunately, the Master must be angry. Alas! This Madam is too cruel. She actually came up with such an idea to take revenge on Madam. I don't know what Madam said in the letter to make her so angry.
He looked up and saw Pei Ruochen turning and leaving, "Master, where are you going?"
"You go back to do things first, and I'll go to the painting garden to talk to Yu Tianrong." Pei Ruochen said calmly,
The guard was heartbroken when he heard this, and quickly replied, "The subordinate will go back first." He left as fast as he could escape.
As soon as Pei Ruochen arrived at the painting garden, the first reaction of the boy guarding the door was to close the door.
Pei Ruochen looked stunned for a moment, then swayed and crossed the courtyard wall and went straight in.
The boy was dumbfounded and said, "Mr. Pei, you——"
"I wonder why I have become a declined guest in your painting garden?"
The boy looked at him awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, this is Madam's order."
