stern wife

Chapter 285 Add fuel to the fire
"……puff!"

Wu Shi and Pei Yutong didn't react at first, but after they did, they couldn't help but burst out laughing together.

Wu shi smiled and tapped lightly on her daughter's forehead, angrily said:

"What is the Naihe bridge? It's a single-plank bridge!"

Pei Xiaoran said confidently:

"Anyway, they're leaving sooner or later. What's wrong? Tsk, don't mention those spoilers, we should eat and drink!"

The three of them happily started having dinner together, and no one took this matter to heart.

However, they don't care about it, but others do.

Three days later.

Cheng turned over lazily under the thin brocade quilt, stretched out a white, delicate, creamy jade arm from the quilt, and subconsciously groped towards the position beside her.

The side was empty, and there was no warmth in the quilt. It was obvious that the people lying there had already left.

Cheng didn't care, he yawned, woke up slowly, and called out in a weak voice:
"Leng Rui."

Hearing the sound, a girl came in softly from the outside, helped Cheng Shi to sit up slowly, conveniently stuffed a big soft pillow behind her, and took a coat for Cheng Shi who was only wearing a bellyband put on.

Then he turned his head and softly told the girl outside to go to the kitchen to ask for hot water, ready to bathe Cheng Shi.

There were mottled ambiguous marks on Cheng's neck, and he was leaning on the soft pillow at this moment, feeling weak, obviously because he had been tossed hard last night.

However, she was in a very good mood. Looking down at her bright red nails that had been dyed by impatiens, she sneered and said:
"A fox|meizi raised by a poor family is also worthy of fighting with me? Something that is overestimated..."

A new favorite came to the mansion, and men are greedy for novelty, so Pei Xingshan has been staying in the courtyard of the new woman for the past two days.

Cheng is very jealous and hates people competing for favor with her the most. In order to demonstrate to the new woman, she called Pei Xingshan to her yard for dinner last night, and put a lot of harmless in the meal. But it is very easy to get angry.

Then she put on a translucent gauze dress, and casually scratched her head and posed in front of Pei Xingshan who had finished eating, and good things happened naturally.

It's just that the medicine probably was a little too much, and Cheng was tossed until midnight before he finally had time to rest.

However, even though she is not feeling well, it is worthwhile for the new woman to recognize who is the most favored in this house.

Hearing this, Leng Rui agreed with a smile:
"Isn't it? I heard that the new concubine is quite pretty, but compared with you, she must be far behind!"

Cheng raised her lips and smiled triumphantly. Before she could say anything else, she saw a girl suddenly stumbling in from outside, and said with a panicked face:

"Aunt, aunt...it's not good!"

At the same time, Pei Xingshan, who felt a little hot all over and was eating breakfast, also received a report from his servants.

Pei Xingshan put down his chopsticks, suppressed the surging anger, and asked in a deep voice:

"What did you say? Tell me again!"

"Yes Yes……"

The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Pei Xingshan, and immediately repeated the matter again, saying:
"A yamen servant from Da'an Mansion came to summon him, saying that someone sued Fifth Young Master for being ungrateful and trying to murder his teacher, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. Please Fifth Young Master come to Da'an Mansion for interrogation!"

Pei Xingshan stood up in a hurry, the chair behind him fell over, making a loud noise, which made the servant who came to deliver the letter tremble with fright.

This matter was already enough to make people angry, and Pei Xingshan used a lot of medicine to make people angry last night under Cheng's calculations. The sky is monstrous, and murderous intent is evident in his eyes.

He grasped the long whip full of barbs wrapped around his waist tightly, and shouted angrily:
"Let's go! Go to Da'an Mansion! I want to see for myself what good deeds that scoundrel has done!"

It is conceivable how terrifying the murderous aura and coercion emanating from the general who has gone through the battlefield and killed countless lives with his hands can be imagined.

The servant was so frightened that his knees went limp. Hearing this, he hurriedly braced his trembling legs to make way sideways, and followed Pei Xingshan out.

At this time, Pei Wenchang had just received the news.

Pei Wenchang couldn't believe his ears when he looked at the yamen servants who were in charge of arresting the criminals standing in front of him.

That old bastard...how, how dared to go to the yamen to sue him for wanting to murder him? !

Is he stupid for eating too much croton?

He is the Duke's most beloved son, how dare he sue him? !
Doesn't this mean that he doesn't take the Duke's mansion seriously?Isn't that old man afraid that his father will cut him off in a fit of anger?

Or is that old thing actually gone crazy?
Pei Wenchang couldn't understand it, and he didn't believe that the old man would have any physical evidence that he wanted to murder him.

Pei Wenchang is not stupid, therefore, before the croton, Pei Wenchang sacrificed ten taels of silver, and specifically asked the doctor who gave him the medicine if he would be checked by other doctors after eating the croton.

The doctor swore to him that the croton would be excreted from the body along with the food, and no doctor could diagnose it unless the excrement was examined.

Because of this, Pei Wenchang was able to safely and boldly prescribe medicine to the teacher. Whenever he didn't want to study, or when he was upset because of the small report, he would mix more or less croton into the teacher's meal according to his mood. pink.

And the master didn't notice it all the time, he just thought that he was getting old and had problems with his stomach.

Why did he find out all of a sudden?He even had the guts to go to the Yamen to file a complaint with the governor?

Seeing that Pei Wenchang's face turned blue and white, several yamen servants said politely:

"Master Pei, Lord Fu Yin is still waiting, we should go."

"No," Pei Wenchang immediately took a step back, looked at the few people warily, and said:

"That old man... that old man is just talking nonsense and talking nonsense! There is no such thing at all! This matter has nothing to do with me at all! I want to go to my father! Ask my father to seek justice for me Come!"

Several yamen servants seemed to have expected that he would go to Pei Xingshan for support, and one of them said:

"My lord has already sent someone to notify the Duke of the State. The Lord of the Kingdom must be on his way to Da'an Mansion by now."

"what?!"

Pei Wenchang's thoughts changed, thinking that since the old man had sued him, he had made it clear that he was going to fight against the Duke's mansion, and his father would definitely not let him go, so he felt relieved a little.

Moreover, crotons can't kill people, so what if they find out?What murdered him... is simply a frame!
Pei Wenchang settled down, regained some of the aloof air of the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and said:
"Okay, so what if I go with you for a while? My young master is sitting upright. Is it possible that I am afraid that those people with ulterior motives will deliberately slander me?"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out first.

Several yamen servants glanced at each other and followed them out.
