Yan Mingzhu wrote the recruitment notice and gave it to Liu Xiang, asking her to post it on the wall outside the door.
Then he took the time to glance at Pei Duqin and asked lightly, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
As the legitimate son of the Pei family, Pei Duqin has been praised and praised since he was a child. Who dares to be so disrespectful to him?
What's more, he has a handsome appearance and a gentle and elegant temperament, and is highly loved by the ladies of the imperial capital. Although he is not as good as Qi Jue, he is still ahead of him.
If this were normal, Pei Duqin would have walked away no matter how good-tempered he was.
But at this moment, the soles of his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground. Instead of feeling angry, he instinctively didn't want to leave.
Just at this moment, Maolin came back with a box in his arms. Pei Duqin counted it and handed over a stack of banknotes, "Miss Yan San, there are six hundred taels here. The five hundred taels are to pay off the previous debt."
, the remaining one hundred taels is an apology gift."
Yan Mingzhu took it, counted it once, and then pushed a one hundred tael silver note to Pei Duqin again.
"It's clearly written on the bill. Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. No more and no less. The money and goods are clear. You can leave."
If this were an ordinary person, of course they would take advantage of it if they could, but this woman in front of her has a clear sense of love and hatred, and she will not take anything from her if it is not hers.
Pei Duqin looked at her deeply and pushed the banknote back, "I'm sorry, I never knew you had such a hard time in the Pei family. If I knew..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Mingzhu looked at him sideways, her eyes bright and penetrating, "What can you do if you know? Is it possible that Second Young Master Pei will contradict your family for the sake of a nominal sister-in-law?"
Pei Duqin almost didn't think about it. He opened his mouth to say that he could do it, but Yan Mingzhu didn't give him this chance. "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and it is impossible to turn back time.
No matter how you make up for what the Pei family did to me, I will never forgive you, Liu Xiang, see you off."
Yan Mingzhu has always been adhering to the principle that if others treat me 30% well, I will return 70% kindness.
If her soul hadn't been attached to the original owner, the third girl of the Yan family would have been a cold corpse in that violent storm.
When she stabilizes the Yuan family, she will take revenge on the Pei family for all the crimes they have done to her!
After being kicked out of the medicine shop, Maolin was aggrieved: "Master, this Yan Mingzhu is really too complacent. If His Highness Dingbei King hadn't intervened in this matter, Jingzhao Prefecture would have let him go a long time ago. How could he be used anymore?"
Master, please go there yourself.
This woman was just taking advantage of His Highness Dingbei King's power to act like a fox and a tiger. She didn't know what His Highness Dingbei King saw in her, but she stood up for this ugly abandoned woman over and over again. His Highness Dingbei King couldn't be blind and fell in love with her, right?
?”
Pei Duqin was a little upset, and his mind repeatedly echoed Yan Mingzhu's decisive words just now, and his eyes that were as emotionless as looking at a stranger.
Leng Buding heard Maolin say whether Qi Jue had fallen in love with Yan Mingzhu. He suddenly came back to his senses and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
"Shut up!"
Maolin rarely saw his son angry. At this moment, Pei Duqin's face darkened, his brows filled with impatience and anger. He was so frightened that Maolin's legs weakened and he knelt down.
"You deserve to die. You said the wrong thing. Please punish me, Master!"
Pei Duqin closed his eyes and tried hard to adjust his mentality. When he opened his eyes again, he had recovered a lot, "Don't say bad things about her again in the future."
She? Refers to Yan Mingzhu?
Although Maolin was very puzzled, he did not dare to ask any more questions, "Yes, sir, then... what should the third girl do?"
When Pei Ninghe was mentioned, impatience flashed in Pei Duqin's eyes, "She is ignorant. She should be given a memory, otherwise we don't know what trouble she will cause in the future."
As soon as Pei Duqin left, two people walked out of the inner hall, one behind the other.
Zhuang Ke leaned crookedly in front of the counter and clicked his tongue: "Don't take advantage of me, you bastard. That idiot Pei Duqin took the initiative to bring money to your door. Why don't you accept the one hundred taels of silver?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled and said lightly: "Besides the fact that they owe me what they owe me, I feel dirty even if it is a copper plate from the Pei family."
Zhuang Ke laughed twice, slapped the table and said, "With your temper and your appetite for my eldest nephew, no wonder he likes you so much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jue slapped him on the back of his head.
"If you talk nonsense again, pack up and go back to the Duke's Mansion."
Zhuang Ke hugged his sore head, pouted, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't like you and you're still hanging around. Why don't I see you so idle usually?"
Qi Jue is a martial arts practitioner, and his hearing is naturally different from ordinary people. He heard Zhuang Ke's muttering clearly, and instantly glanced at him with a death gaze.
When he was about to walk out, Yan Mingzhu suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, I forgot something. Your Highness, these deer antlers are for you."
With that said, he stuffed it directly into Qi Jue's hand.
When Qi Jue lowered his eyes, Yan Mingzhu was afraid that he would not accept it, so he added: "Deer antler has the effect of nourishing kidney yang, replenishing essence and blood, and strengthening muscles and bones."
Hearing the words "tonifying kidney yang", Zhuang Ke immediately hugged his belly and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that my nephew would have kidney failure? Hahaha..."
The veins on Qi Jue's forehead twitched, his eyes were like daggers, and his voice was even colder: "Zhuang Ke, try saying it again?"
Zhuang Ke didn't dare to laugh, but his shoulders kept shaking, and he felt like he was holding back internal injuries!
Qi Jue threw the medicinal materials back to Yan Mingzhu, and almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "My kidneys are very good, you don't need to worry about it."
Yan Mingzhu blinked, thinking that the other party had misunderstood, and explained: "Your Highness, I did not say that your kidneys are not good, but you were poisoned by Luoyansha before. Although the poison has been eliminated now, you were poisoned for a long time and injured your internal organs.
It still needs to be adjusted slowly, and deer antler is a very good medicinal material."
As she said this, Yan Mingzhu touched the pack of deer antler with great distress, "I'm not willing to give it to anyone else. This deer antler is so valuable. The purchase price alone would cost at least ten taels."
For some reason, after hearing this, the anger in Qi Jue's heart dissipated instantly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this king not someone else?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled slightly, her eyes clear and sincere, "Of course, for me, your Highness is one of my own."
A word from one of my own successfully made His Royal Highness Dingbei's mood clear.
He laughed deeply, stretched out a long, jade-like hand, and took back the velvet antlers he had just thrown away from Yan Mingzhu's arms.
Seeing him taking it back, Yan Mingzhu tilted her head and said, "Your Highness, didn't you say you don't want it?"
Qi Jue looked at her sideways, "Why, you want to take back the things you gave away?"
Yan Mingzhu was about to say that she was not such a stingy person, but Qi Jue added lightly: "If you give it to me, it belongs to me."
