Pei Duqin turned his head and asked Mrs. Pei: "Mother, what is going on?"
Mrs. Pei was also very impatient about this, so she simply explained the matter again.
When he heard Yan Mingzhu's name, something strange flashed in Pei Duqin's eyes.
And after learning that Wang Rui was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion, it was because he hired people to cause trouble in Ming Yuexuan, and Ming Yuexuan was one of the properties under Yan Mingzhu's name.
Obviously, Wang Rui wanted to bully Yan Mingzhu into being alone, but unexpectedly he failed and got himself involved instead.
Thinking of this, Pei Duqin felt inexplicably uncomfortable with Wang Rui.
This useless idiot has no skills at all, but he only knows how to bully defenseless women.
"My mother's handling was not wrong. This matter was caused by my cousin who hired people to make trouble. He was at fault first. He deserved to be taken away by Jingzhao Mansion for questioning. He cannot blame others. It just so happened that we could take advantage of this opportunity to give him a good whip, lest he
He will still do mischief outside in the future."
Mrs. Wang Er was so angry at Pei Duqin's unkind words, "You... how can you be so heartless? He is your cousin. Not only did you refuse to save him, but you also added insult to injury. You are ruthless and ruthless.
!”
However, Pei Duqin remained motionless and only said: "Second aunt, have you finished speaking? If you have finished speaking, I have two options here for my second uncle and second aunt to choose. The first one is that our Pei family can come forward and try our best to save our cousin."
Fish it out from Jingzhao Mansion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang Er was overjoyed and said first: "Really? I knew you wouldn't be so heartless, Erlang, and would definitely save your cousin..."
However, before giving her a chance to finish her words, Pei Duqin added unhurriedly: "Please prepare five hundred taels of silver and follow me to Ming Yuexuan immediately to apologize."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's second wife showed an expression of disbelief, "Erlang, how can you ask us to apologize to that little bitch Yan Mingzhu? She clearly wanted to harm Rui'er, so Rui'er was killed by people from Jingzhao Mansion.
Capture..."
Before Mrs. Wang could finish speaking, Pei Duqin asked, "Didn't my cousin go to Ming Yuexuan on purpose to cause trouble?"
Second Mrs. Wang choked and wanted to say something else, but Pei Duqin did not give her this chance, "If Second Aunt feels that the first way is not feasible, then there is a second way.
After all, what my cousin committed was not a major crime involving burning, killing, looting, or decapitation. At most, he would be detained in Jingzhao Mansion for ten and a half days, with only a little hardship. As long as he behaved well, he could be released.
Already."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang Er's face darkened, "Rui'er is used to pampering himself since childhood, how could he endure such hardship? Besides, Erlang, didn't you just say you could rescue him..."
"I said we would try our best to save him on the basis that you can go to Ming Yuexuan in person to apologize. If the second uncle and second aunt can't even do this, just pretend I didn't mention it. The gate is there.
It's getting late, my Pei family won't leave two of you to eat, so please come."
Mrs. Wang Er still struggled, but was stopped by Mr. Wang Er, "Just apologize, Rui'er was indeed at fault in this matter, but these five hundred taels...
Erlang, you also know the situation of my uncle and me. How can I get so much money in this short period of time? Why don't you, little sister, lend me some first and I can pay you back another day?"
Mrs. Pei sneered in her heart, why should she pay it back someday? The couple opened and closed their mouths. When they borrowed money, the younger sister was older than the younger one. But over the years, has the borrowed money ever been returned?
"Second brother, it's not that my sister doesn't want to borrow it, but it's that my concubine got into trouble earlier. Our Pei family just took out 300 taels of silver to deal with the disaster. Now our family is also stretched thin. We only need food and clothing to survive.
, where can I get as much as five hundred taels?"
The corner of Mr. Wang's mouth twitched and he could only say: "Then... then let's borrow a hundred taels first. There is always a hundred taels, right? If the little sister says no, she will not give face to my brother.
!”
Without saying a word, Mrs. Pei took off a jade bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into Mr. Wang's hand.
"Second brother, this jade bracelet is also one of my dowry. It has been with me for many years. If you pawned it, it would be worth at least fifty taels. Second brother, please take it for emergencies. My sister really can't afford it.
Already."
Pei Duqin followed: "Second uncle, I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Go back to Wang's house and collect the money. I'll wait for you at Ming Yuexuan."
After Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang left in despair, Mrs. Pei rubbed her temples with a headache and said, "Qin'er, we don't need to interfere in this matter, so why do you need to take on this porcelain job.
Moreover, your second uncle and others were asked to apologize to Yan Mingzhu. The Wang family and our Pei family are also one, so wouldn’t it mean that our Pei family will also surrender to Yan Mingzhu? "
Pei Duqin only said slowly: "Mother, right is right and wrong is wrong. We cannot do things that have no bottom line just because we have grudges with her.
Furthermore, it was our Pei family who couldn't bear to deal with her. After returning the dowry, we were reconciled with her. But then the third sister hired thugs to cause trouble, and today it was Wang Rui who started to cause trouble. They were the ones who started the trouble.
Isn’t it appropriate to apologize?”
Before Mrs. Pei could speak, Pei Duqin cupped his hands and said, "My son has gone to do some work. Mother, please have a good rest."
After Pei Duqin left, Mrs. Pei looked at his back and sighed: "Mama An, do you think Qin'er is a little different? Why do I feel that he is a little too fond of that woman Yan Mingzhu?"
Are you paying attention?"
Mother An comforted her: "Madam, you are worrying too much. Our young master has always had a clear distinction between right and wrong since he was a child. Yan Mingzhu has an ugly face with a birthmark. How can our young master pay attention to her?"
You're right, her son is handsome and outstanding, and he looks down on many noble ladies from aristocratic families who want to marry him, so why would he pay attention to an ugly woman, and this woman is also his ex-sister-in-law.
At the door of Ming Yuexuan, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were so coquettish that they could not wipe their faces and go in to apologize.
Pei Duqin didn't bother to care about them and walked in directly.
With almost a glance, Pei Duqin saw that particularly dazzling figure in the crowd.
The audience in the audience raised their heads and listened attentively to the storytelling on the stage.
Yan Mingzhu was the only one, with his head lowered, his chin propped up on one hand, and the account book with the other hand, flipping through it from time to time.
She just sat there silently, but she had an elegant and casual temperament, as if thousands of troops were coming, and no one of her clothes would be disturbed.
Pei Duqin couldn't help but walk softly. As he approached, he couldn't help but soften his words: "Miss Yan San."
