stern wife

Chapter 593 Goal: Empty the Duke's Mansion!

Pei Xiaoran didn't bother to care about whether Pei Xingshan's mood was good or bad, and asked patiently again:

"My lord, are you planning to renege on the account that was made more than 20 years ago?"

"An account from more than 20 years ago? What account?"

The old lady looked at Pei Xingshan suspiciously.

Pei Xingshan was startled, then his expression changed, and he stared at Pei Xiaoran in shock.

The sadness in his expression turned into full of vigilance in an instant, he looked around, then lowered his voice, and asked in a deep voice:
"You... how do you know? Did your mother tell you?!"

Pei Xiaoran smiled lightly, but the smile was full of mockery, and said:

"If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing, the Wu family and my mother have kept their promises very well and have never revealed a word to outsiders. However, my mother and the Wu family should not be the only ones who knew about this at the time, right?"

Pei Xingshan's eyes darkened, and he began to wonder who had leaked the secret.

Pei Xiaoran interrupted unceremoniously:

"That's not the point, the point is, after so many years of debt, I wonder when the Duke of the Kingdom plans to return this debt to my mother and the Wu family?

Or is it that the Duke of the State intends to act like that villain and is going to renege on the debt? "

"Pei Xiaoran, what are you talking about? What kind of account?!"

The old lady was overwhelmed by what she heard, but she subconsciously defended her son.

Pei Xiaoran glanced at her, smiled and said:
"Old lady, you have always thought that it was my mother who seduced the Duke, causing him to abandon the high-ranking princess and marry the lowly merchant's daughter, that is, my mother.

So today, I will tell you the truth about that matter! "

"you dare!"

Pei Xingshan shouted anxiously, as if he was afraid that this matter would be known by outsiders, his tone was a little torn.

"Then you pay it back, or not?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled brightly, folded his little hands, and looked calm, as if he had made up his mind and dared not return it.

In fact, Pei Xingshan really didn't dare not return it.

He stared straight at Pei Xiaoran for a long time, and Pei Xiaoran met his gaze without fear.

Those bright and round eyes were filled with a smile like watching a good show.

Finally, Pei Xingshan opened his mouth and said:

"I still."

He did what he said, immediately recruited his subordinates, and ordered:

"Go and get all the ledgers in the house, open all the warehouses, and then take out all the things as I read, and give them to her."

The subordinates were a little puzzled, but they were used to obeying orders, so they went in obedience.

When the old lady heard this, she stopped doing it.

She immediately screamed and stopped:
"What is this for? What is this for?!"

She looked at Pei Xiaoran furiously, and scolded unceremoniously:

"You and your bitch have enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth in our country's government. It's good that I didn't ask you for money. How dare you come to ask us for something?! What are you!
With me here, let me see who dares to touch anything in my Pei family today! "

The old lady raised her crutches and blocked the doorway, as if she was in charge of the door and no one could open it.

Pei Xiaoran didn't care at all, instead he nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, well said.

It's just that the old lady knows that the current prosperity and wealth of the Pei family is all due to the Wu family and my mother? "

"You bullshit!"

The old lady subconsciously retorted without thinking.

The Pei family relies on the Wu family and the Wu family?

How is that possible!

The Wu family is just a merchant, but Pei's mansion is the Duke's mansion!
Pei Xiaoran didn't argue with her, but pouted towards Pei Xingshan, and said:

"Since the old lady thinks that what I said is nonsense, why not ask your own son personally? It is impossible for what he said to be nonsense, right?"

The old lady took a few steps forward, grabbed Pei Xingshan's arm, and hurriedly asked:

"Shizhong, what the hell is going on? Why are you so accommodating to that little bastard?!"

Pei Xingshan shook off her hand, and said impatiently:

"I will discuss this with you later."

He is now guessing who is the person who leaked the secret. This matter is of great importance, and the person who leaked the secret cannot be allowed to live in this world!
At such an important moment, naturally there is no time to patiently appease the old lady.

The old lady didn't dare to provoke Pei Xingshan any more, so she could only cast her venomous eyes on Pei Xiaoran again.

Pei Xiaoran spread his hands indifferently, and said:
"It's fine if the old lady doesn't give it to me, then I'll go into the palace right away, and then tell the Holy Majesty what kind of heinous crime the Duke of the country committed back then!"

"Don't go!"

Pei Xingshan stopped immediately.

Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, and said:
"Then hurry up, I'm still waiting to go back to have dinner with my mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, but I don't have time to waste time with you here."

"Shizhong, what's going on, what's going on! Why do you listen to that little bastard, ah? Have you been drugged by her?"

The old lady has always hated the Wu family, Pei Xiaoran and others to the bone, let alone what she shouldn't give, even if she should give, she won't take back a dime!
Mrs. Wu has lived in Pei's mansion for many years, except for food, all other things are bought with money from her natal family!

Even if she and the children were sick, the old lady and Cheng, who used to be the housekeeper, would not pay a penny!

Seeing that her son actually wants to bring all the ledgers and open all the warehouses in the mansion, and obviously wants to give Pei Xiaoran a lot of things, the old lady is naturally very anxious.

However, Pei Xingshan was still unwilling to say a word in front of outsiders, and only said coldly:
"This is what I owe them. You should pay it back. You don't have to worry about it."

"Own them? When did you owe them? How could you owe them?"

The old lady wanted to ask more questions, but Pei Xingshan pursed his lips into a straight line, and refused to say another word.

It would take a while to collect all the books in Pei's mansion, and the group waited for a while before seeing several servants running towards each other with a large pile of thick books.

Pei Ming, the housekeeper of the Pei Mansion, also came along. He had a puzzled look on his face, and when he wanted to ask, Pei Xingshan stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Pei Xingshan said:

"Don't ask too many questions, just do as I tell you."

"……Yes."

Pei Xingshan took the ledger and picked out valuables to start reading, while Pei Ming asked someone to bring a pen and paper to take shorthand notes.

The list got longer and longer, and the old lady's face became darker and darker.

The Duke's Mansion is rich, but it can't stand being so extravagant!
After finishing writing a list, Pei Ming immediately gave it to a servant, and Pei Xiaoran waved his hand to let his people follow the servant to move things.

Soon, a large box and a large box of things were carried out, and they were about to be carried out of Pei's residence.

The old lady hated so much that her old face was distorted.

Just listening to Pei Xingshan read a few words, she was already in pain, seeing with her own eyes that the things in her mansion were about to be taken away by Pei Xiaoran, how could she hold her breath?
