Chapter 39 Head of Household Pei Yuanjun

Uncle Liu was furious and turned the oxcart around to head back.

Qi Yunran carried Xiao Jingxuan onto the carriage, and as soon as they were settled, Pei Yuanjun drove the carriage away.

They had only walked a short distance when they saw the oxcart carrying Huang Caicai and the others returning.

As they passed by the carriage they were riding in, the three women suddenly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop right now! Brother Pei (Brother Pei), where are you going? Let's go together!"

But then Uncle Liu, the oxcart driver, angrily said, "Why are you stopping? I'm going to drive the oxcart back and let your parents judge this!"

"No, we need to find Brother Pei!"

Anyone who dares to mess with Old Man Liu will have to bear the consequences.

Soon the horse-drawn carriage sped off, heading in the opposite direction from the oxcart and gradually disappearing into the distance.

A series of curses could be heard coming from inside the oxcart.

"I never imagined Young Master Pei was so charming! He's got all the girls in the village swooning over you!" Qi Yunran joked.

Pei Yuanjun smiled calmly: "My wife, don't be jealous! I won't pay any attention to them."

Qi Yunran was disappointed and glared at his back while holding Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" The tone was threatening.

"Of course, it's because he's laughing at his godmother's jealous look."

"Pei Yuanjun, how long will it take us to get to the county government office?" I didn't want to continue our previous conversation.

Pei Yuanjun glanced back at her, and seeing no change in her expression, said, "About an hour. It will be faster by carriage, but it will take two hours by oxcart."

"It's too much trouble." It's not as fast as her old car and plane.

Pei Yuanjun turned around, and she still thought it was too slow?

"I went to borrow this today specifically because I was afraid that if I was late, I would lose my job at the county office."

Why would you, the Prime Minister, be afraid of stepping down?
I only thought it to myself and didn't say it out loud.

Suddenly, it occurred to her that with Pei Yuanjun's status, they didn't need to go to the county government office themselves. He could simply give the order, and someone would bring it over soon. "Aren't you an official in the capital? Why do we need to go in person to transfer a child's property?" Qi Yunran asked suspiciously.

A flicker of surprise crossed Pei Yuanjun's eyes; she was quick-witted to have noticed it.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go together? I thought you'd never seen a county town before and wanted to go see it?"

Did she say that? It seems so. She wasn't comfortable with Pei Yuanjun handling it and wanted to see for herself.

"Oh! I didn't think of that back then."

The carriage soon arrived in the county town. Here, carriages had to go to a special post station for stopping carriages.

In the county, no one is allowed to ride in a horse-drawn carriage on the street, except for the county magistrate and people from the imperial court.

Not wanting to reveal his identity, Pei Yuanjun drove the carriage to the post station.

After parking the car, Pei Yuanjun took Qi Yunran to the county government office.

When they arrived, the county magistrate personally received them, and the transfer of Xiao Jingxuan's property to her name was completed in just fifteen minutes.

When Qi Yunran came out, she was holding a document from the county government office that already had Xiao Jingxuan's name on it.

But as I looked at it, something seemed off.

It turns out that Xiao Jingxuan was given a surname and his name was Pei Jingxuan.

Then Qi Yunran scrolled back and saw her name again, but in the spouse column, she wrote "wife".

Then she immediately flipped through the pages and found that the head of the household was Pei Yuanjun?
"Pei Yuanjun, what do you mean by this?" Qi Yunran pointed to the household head column on the official document!
Pei Yuanjun took the official documents and put them in his pocket!
"You came to my house five years ago and have been my wife. What's wrong with that?"
We didn't have a wedding banquet because I was studying at the time, and my mother was afraid it would affect my studies, so we didn't consummate our marriage. If you mind, I'll arrange a banquet as soon as we get back to the village.

"You... why did you change Xiao Jingxuan to Pei Jingxuan?" Qi Yunran felt like she had been tricked by Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun innocently replied, "I am the head of the family. Why would I take your surname instead of mine?"

"You're shameless... So what if your surname is Qi Jingxuan?"

"Nothing much? It's just that the government won't help you!"
