Yan Mingzhu's tone was not polite at all. Ordinary people would have to lose face, let alone a high-spirited young master like Pei Duqin.
But Pei Duqin didn't show any signs of being angry. Instead, he spoke calmly and calmly: "I don't have any ill intentions. What my elder brother's family did to the girl before was all their fault. The girl had complaints against the Pei family.
It should be..."
"Who said I have complaints against the Pei family? Who is the Pei family, worthy of my efforts to bear grudges? Oh, I almost forgot, Pei Right Prime Minister was demoted to Tongzhou, the Pei family's vitality was greatly damaged, and this paragraph about the second son of Pei
I’m afraid it’s been hard to live in the DPRK these days, right?”
Not only is it difficult to live with, most of the people in the court are those who are in favor of others. In the past, Prime Minister Pei held the position of Right Prime Minister and was the mother-in-law of Queen Pei, so they naturally had to fawn over him.
But in recent times, troubles have occurred one after another in the Pei family. Prime Minister Pei was demoted, the prince was banned from the East Palace, and Emperor Zhao no longer even set foot in Queen Pei's palace.
Looking at this posture, there were even voices in the court, thinking that Emperor Zhao was planning to depose the crown prince and replace him with His Highness the North King!
This is not groundless news. This time Concubine Zhuang’s birthday is approaching, and Emperor Zhao personally ordered the Ministry of Rites to organize it. This standard can catch up with the regulations of the mother of a country!
In addition, during these days, Qi Jue had made extraordinary achievements. Compared to the mediocre prince, anyone with eyes could see Emperor Zhao's preference for Qi Jue.
When Pei Duqin's attendant Mao Lin heard this, he said angrily: "My young master kindly wants to give you a ride. It's okay if you don't know what's interesting. You still speak sarcastically. It's simply too unqualified..."
"Maolin, shut up!"
Pei Duqin frowned and scolded in a low voice. Maolin also complained for him: "But Master, she is really..."
"My qualities are only for people with the same qualities. As for the evil man who was chasing me all over the streets and wanted to take me back to the Pei family to hold me accountable, he was unjust to me, so why should I be polite to him? Only a bitch would be nice.
I forgot about the pain and moved forward quickly."
Maolin choked, and Pei Duqin remembered that when he learned that Yan Mingzhu had castrated Pei Zhuoran, he did not ask the reason, but directly took people to arrest him.
Although he only wanted to take Yan Mingzhu back at that time, whether it was for questioning or anything else, he never thought about taking her life.
But he did lead people to arrest him. If Yan Mingzhu hadn't stopped Qi Jue's car, if he had brought Yan Mingzhu back to the Pei Mansion at that time, with the virtues of Pei Zhuoran's mother and son, he would have turned right and wrong and made all the mistakes.
It's her fault alone.
In the past, when Yan Mingzhu was the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, Pei Duqin never paid any attention to this sister-in-law. If the situation at that time was based on it, he would probably have listened to Pei Zhuoran and the others and punished Yan Mingzhu.
By then, even if it doesn't kill her, it will at least make her shed a layer of skin.
Thinking of this, Pei Duqin's face became a little ugly, and he felt even more regretful, "That time before, it was all my fault. I didn't understand the situation. I am here to formally apologize to the girl."
While they were talking, a carved carriage also drove in this direction.
Feiyu's sharp eyes spotted Yan Mingzhu immediately, "Your Highness, it's Miss Yan! But... there seemed to be two men standing in front of Miss Yan, they looked familiar, ah, isn't that Pei Duqin?
"
Qi Jue leaned casually on the pillow, with his long legs slightly bent, holding a memorial in his hand. When he heard Feiyu's words, he immediately lifted the curtain with one end of the memorial and looked out.
Almost at a glance, Qi Jue's eyes were locked on Yan Mingzhu.
Standing opposite Yan Mingzhu was Pei Duqin. Although the distance between them was a bit far, it could be seen at a glance that the atmosphere between the two was very unharmonious.
Yan Mingzhu's face was even colder, and her eyes were so distant that they could no longer be distant.
Pei Duqin's attitude was the opposite of hers, and even made Qi Jue feel a bit flattering.
"How come Pei Duqin is with Miss Yan? Could it be that he is looking for trouble with Miss Yan because of the recent misfortune of the Pei family? Don't worry, Your Highness, my subordinates will put sacks on the people and beat them up.
I don’t even recognize my own father!”
Feiyu rolled up his sleeves and was gearing up to escort His Highness and the future princess.
But without thinking, Qi Jue said calmly: "No need, she will take care of it. The carriage will stop aside."
What, Your Highness doesn’t care?
Feiyu was very surprised, "Your Highness, what if Pei Duqin is bullying Miss Yan..."
"Pei Duqin, a powerless civil servant, is no match for her. Besides, she has her own way of dealing with it, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere."
Qi Jue did not take Pei Duqin seriously at all, and did not think that Pei Duqin could get an advantage from Yan Mingzhu.
Moreover, Yan Mingzhu said before that she was unwilling to rely on him to live. She has her own life. Unless she is really wronged and cannot handle it, he will take action at the right time.
Yan Mingzhu didn't notice Qi Jue's carriage. After hearing Pei Duqin's words, she sneered: "The belated apology is not worth a penny. Are you going to talk nonsense to me? Once you finish talking nonsense, get out of here."
Well, a good dog doesn’t block the way.”
"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that it is more revealing. It is not safe for you to walk outside alone. If you don't want me to send you Miss Yan San, I will give you the carriage and I won't appear in front of you. How about that?"
This attitude can be said to put oneself at the lowest level. Even Maolin looked at his young master in disbelief.
Could it be that the young master was stunned? Why did he move forward eagerly when the other party treated him coldly?
Yan Mingzhu also looked at him strangely, wondering in her heart, is this guy out of his mind and looking for scolding?
Just at this time, a cold voice sounded: "Her safety does not need to be worried about by unimportant people. I will protect her."
Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw Qi Jue slowly walking down from the carved carriage.
The man wore a navy blue brocade suit, with water patterns embroidered on the skirt, which made his lips red and white, and his appearance was magnificent. He looked like a picture when he was still, and like a dragon when he moved.
As soon as Yan Mingzhu saw Qi Jue, there was an undisguised smile in her eyes, "Why is Your Highness here?"
"I came back from the military camp and happened to pass by. Come here."
Qi Jue naturally raised his fingers at Yan Mingzhu, and Yan Mingzhu walked over. Qi Jue skillfully raised his hand to tighten her wind-blown temples.
"It's late at night, why are you going out alone?"
Yan Mingzhu winked, "Not only me, but also Liu Xiang. Isn't this because I want to give you warmth, Your Highness?"
When Qi Jue heard that Yan Mingzhu went out this late at night to find him, he felt very happy and had a smile in his eyes.
"It turns out that you are sending warmth to me. Just tell Feiyu and I will come to you. Why do you need to go there in person?"
