For Prime Minister Pei, if Yan Mingzhu committed suicide, it would save his energy.
Xian glanced at the servants next to him and told them to arrest him quickly. He had no patience if he continued to delay.
And at the critical moment, a cold and jade-like voice said: "Prime Minister Pei is really a powerful official."
Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw a carved carriage parked at the gate of the mansion. A gold-inlaid jade plaque hung directly above the carriage, with the word "ding north" engraved on it.
Five-color glazed octagonal palace bells were hung on both sides of the car, fluttering in the wind.
The curtains were lifted up, revealing the man's pure and elegant face. He was dressed in a purple court dress, which made his face look like jade. His clear and light eyes swept over him, but they carried an air of nobility that was not angry but powerful.
Prime Minister Pei's face changed slightly, and he immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness King Dingbei!"
As soon as they heard His Highness Dingbei Wang, everyone knelt down in a roar and lowered their heads, not even daring to express their anger.
"Under the emperor's feet, in broad daylight, Prime Minister Pei dared to commit murder in public. This king cannot bear this ceremony."
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Pei Youxiang. He never expected that Qi Jue would appear. Dingbei Prince's Palace and Pei's Palace were clearly in opposite directions.
Originally, he was able to rely on his official authority to arrest Yan Mingzhu in a fair and just manner, and no one dared to stop him.
But now that His Highness King Dingbei appears, the situation is completely different. This is not a master who is easy to fool.
But before Pei Youxiang could open his mouth to explain, another voice sounded: "Your Highness King Dingbei, please forgive me. My father is an official of the imperial court. How dare he know and break the law? But this woman is a member of our Pei family, and she had some conflicts with her family, so
Only then will outsiders see the joke.
Matters in this family must naturally be resolved behind closed doors and left to the family, and we will certainly not harm her."
While talking, Pei Duqin got off the carriage. He came all the way with Qi Jue. On the way, he was still confused in his heart. Why was the Dingbei Palace in the north, but Qi Jue's carriage was heading south?
.
As a result, from a distance, I saw the bustle at the door of Pei's house, something must have happened.
Qi Jue didn't say yes or no, but his eyes fell on Yan Mingzhu and asked lightly: "Are you family members?"
The moment Yan Mingzhu saw Qi Jue's appearance, she knew that there was no need to start the second plan. After all, there was nothing more useful than the title of His Highness, Prince Dingbei.
Yingying saluted, and Yan Mingzhu replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Returning to Your Highness, I reconciled with Pei Zhuoran, the eldest son of the Pei family yesterday. From the moment she stepped out of the gate of the Pei family, she had nothing to do with the Pei family.
relation."
Qi Jue hummed, "Then what do you want to do at the door of Pei's house today?"
"When I got married, my maternal ancestors had prepared a generous dowry for my daughter and brought it to the Pei family. Now that my daughter has reconciled with Pei Zhuoran, my daughter from the Pei family will not take any of it, but the dowry
It belongs to my daughter. May I ask Your Highness, is it wrong for my daughter to come and take it back?"
Qi Jue arrived late and saw from a distance that a group of servants with weapons surrounded Yan Mingzhu.
A thin girl, holding a hairpin in her hand, was isolated and helpless, and could only force her to die.
He originally thought that Yan Mingzhu was out and was discovered by the Pei family, but he did not expect that it was she who came to the door on her own initiative and reached out to ask the Pei family for a dowry.
This woman was so courageous that she was not afraid that she would not get her dowry back, but instead she would have to pay for it with her life.
Qi Jue's eyes were unclear and he just opened his lips lightly: "The Dazhao law clearly stipulates that a woman reconciles with her husband's family, and as long as the woman is not at fault, all the things she brought will be returned to her."
Aunt Wang couldn't wait to say: "Who says she is not at fault! Your Highness, this bitch... woman, when we were making peace with each other, she cut my son. Poor my son, he is still lying in bed recovering from his injuries. Such a lawless woman
, the woman who hurts others wantonly should be arrested and sent to Shen Tang!"
Yan Mingzhu answered unhurriedly: "Since Aunt Wang must settle the previous accounts with me, that's fine. Let's settle it properly."
Saying that, Yan Mingzhu lifted up her sleeves, revealing the mottled scars on one arm, and pointed to one scar and said: "This is the tea ceremony on the second day of the wedding. Aunt Wang, you accidentally accidentally spilled all the hot tea.
Left on my hand.
It was the fifth day of the wedding. Pei Zhuoran was eating wine outside and came home drunk. He whipped me with a whip without any explanation. I cried and shouted for help, but the entire Pei family seemed to be dead and no one came to help."
Just seeing the scars on Yan Mingzhu's arms is already shocking. Listening to her personally talk about how these scars came about really makes people cry, saying that the Pei family is really nothing!
"There is also this point where Pei Ninghe forced me to cook roasted venison for her. I finally cooked it under the scorching sun, but she vomited on me after taking a bite and pressed my hand on it.
On the oven, he scolded me for not even bothering to smell the food I was baking."
One by one, Yan Mingzhu counted them with great clarity. Each one left evidence of guilt on her body. Aunt Wang and Pei Ninghe, who were extremely arrogant a second ago, suddenly had their eyes drifting.
I wanted to refute it, but everything Yan Mingzhu said actually happened.
When hearing these things, the most shocked person was Pei Duqin.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to his ex-sister-in-law. In his impression, on the second day after they got married, Pei Zhuoran went everywhere shouting about how ugly his wife was.
In the six months since Yan Mingzhu married into the Pei family, Pei Duqin rarely had the chance to see Yan Mingzhu. Even if he met Yan Mingzhu in the house, this woman always lowered her head and looked like she was being manipulated.
Looks like a little white rabbit.
It is definitely not as lively and vivid as it is now, with a refreshing brightness in every frown and smile.
Without even asking, Pei Du Qinguang knew from the guilty expressions of Aunt Wang and Pei Ninghe that what Yan Mingzhu said at this moment was true.
However, Aunt Wang did not repent at all. Instead, she shouted: "I am your mother-in-law. Since ancient times, it is only right for a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law. Even if she occasionally punishes you, it must be your fault."
First!
And you dare to hurt your husband, you are so cruel, such a woman is not worthy of living in this world!"
Qi Jue frowned and said in a cold voice: "Prime Minister Pei, who abused his ex-daughter-in-law wantonly and showed no remorse even after being exposed. Is this the upbringing of your Pei family?"
In his heart, Youxiang Pei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with treating Yan Mingzhu like this in the past. He was very dissatisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law.
With a face with a birthmark on his face, he couldn't take any action at all. If he went out, he would only embarrass the Pei family. Therefore, even if Pei Zhuoran and the others knew that Pei Zhuoran and the others were bullying Yan Mingzhu, he chose to turn a blind eye.
