After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 33 I gave it to my husband
Pei Wenwen cursed Huang Jiahao inwardly for being useless; wasn't he as domineering as he was in the village?
Did he not come to steal the silver last night?

A meaningful smile appeared on Qi Yunran's lips.

Seeing Pei Yuanjun's firm defense of Qi Yunran, Pei's mother didn't want things to get too tense with her son!
Just as she was about to leave, Pei Wenwen saw that her mother wanted to let Qi Yunran go, and thinking that she had already offended her, she immediately said, "Since Brother Pei has decided that Sister Ranran is his wife, shouldn't Sister Ranran give the five hundred taels of silver from selling ginseng to Aunt Wang for safekeeping?"

Pei's mother, Wang, suddenly brightened up and slapped her thigh. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?" she exclaimed. "Qi Yunran, hand over the money you made from selling the goods to me, and I'll keep it for you!"

A wicked smile flashed across Qi Yunran's lips. The villagers, having heard the news somewhere, all crowded up the back mountain to watch the spectacle.

Aren't these people busy with spring planting?

But you came just in time!

"Wenwen, that's not right! You want to marry Pei Yuanjun as a concubine, but you can't just accuse me like this!"

Pei Yuanjun looked into Qi Yunran's cunning, watery eyes, a faint smile flashing in his dark pupils.

Pei Wenwen was a little confused. How come she wasn't panicking at all when her money was about to be robbed?

Even if Brother Pei is protecting her, shouldn't she still fulfill her filial duty? It's only right to give the money to her mother for safekeeping.

Let's see how arrogant she is once she's out of money: "Sister Ranran, what are you saying that I don't understand?"

"Alas! No wonder. We peasant women have never seen so much silver before!"

"What silver?" The villagers were thrilled. Did Qi Yunran really have five hundred taels of silver?
"So, Wenwen and I found a wild ginseng together. I took it to town and sold it for five hundred taels of silver, and gave Wenwen two hundred and fifty taels. Wenwen, you agree, right?"

Pei Wenwen felt a little flustered. Why did these words sound like something she had deliberately revealed to Huang Jiahao?
Somewhat guilty, he retorted, "You're lying! I don't know anything about wild ginseng!"

Qi Yunran sighed: "Wenwen, I know your mother favors your two younger brothers, and you want to save some dowry. But your brothers are also your family. If you take out just a little bit, it will help your two brothers find good wives."

The surrounding villagers were immediately envious and actually gave her 250 taels of silver. Instead of giving it to her mother for safekeeping, she hid it herself.

Now they're telling Pei's mother, Wang, that Qi Yunran has five hundred taels of silver. If Pei Yunran can't produce it, then she's being unfilial! Are they trying to drive her to her death?
Seeing the villagers gossiping, Pei Wenwen panicked: "She's lying, I didn't get any money at all."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Huang Jiahao. He saw it with his own eyes. He even tried to steal my money, but my husband beat him up. Right, husband?"

The pot fell from the sky, and Pei Yuanjun had no choice but to accept it with a bitter smile: "He tried to rob my wife of her money, so of course I won't let him get away with it."

Seeing that Pei Jia's eldest son admitted it, everyone was more inclined to believe Pei Yuanjun. They immediately started cursing Huang Jiahao as a scoundrel.

Qi Yunran raised an eyebrow at Pei Yuanjun, not expecting him to help her lie to everyone.

Then, Pei's mother asked, "What about the silver you have left?"

Qi Yunran looked innocently at Pei's mother: "I gave them to my husband for safekeeping. After this incident, I felt it was too dangerous for me to keep them, so I gave them to my husband. Didn't my husband give them to you?"

Pei Yuanjun looked at the bright and spirited girl, and a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart: "Hmm, I've put it away. Should Mother give it to you?"

"No need, no need. Since Dalang has already put it away, let's keep it with him. We'll need more money when we go back to the capital later."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mother. I'll keep it then."

When Qi Yunran mentioned Huang Jiahao, Pei Wenwen knew that things had been exposed.

Does Brother Pei know about this too? What will he think of her?

She looked up, wanting to observe Pei Yuanjun's reaction, but saw him gazing at Qi Yunran with gentle, doting eyes. The demons within her immediately churned. Qi! Yun! Ran!

Why should I compete with her for him? She still has Young Master Zhao even if she loses Brother Pei. Why should I compete with her for Brother Pei?
