223 How Am I Surprised? I’m Disgusted!
“Gao Xuwei, are you crazy?!”
Pei Zhaoyue screamed in disgust. Then, she pointed at Gao Xuwei and tried to scratch him. “Tell me, are you deliberately trying to give me a hard time?!”
“Madam, you’re the one who’s crazy! Of all the people you can provoke, you just had to provoke that pair of fiends!”
Gao Xuwei really felt that his head… No, his entire body was starting to hurt!
“Do you know what the Imperial City’s government office does?! If you provoke them, it’s like stirring up a hornet’s nest! He has the right to report directly to the emperor. Who in the north is clean?!
If he really finds out, all of us will die!
“Madam, life in the north hasn’t been peaceful recently. If you want to continue living a peaceful life in the future, listen to my advice. Learn from me and stop causing trouble!”
Gao Xuwei didn’t dare to tell the truth.
He deliberated for a long time, but could only give Pei Zhaoyue some reminders.
Gu Erlang was actually still negotiable, but his wife was really vicious!
She was really the most vicious woman. On the surface, she seemed meek and harmless, but she was very ruthless!
The poison in his body…
Just thinking about it made his heart palpitate.
“Are you scared out of your wits?!” Pei Zhaoyue frowned as she looked at the cowardly person in front of her who didn’t even dare to mention her. She raised her hand and pushed Gao Xuwei, who was still supporting her, away. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Gao Xuwei, you’re used to being timid. I don’t blame you!
But I, Pei Zhaoyue, have never been timid!
My sister is now a concubine in the harem, and the fourth prince she gave birth to is also very doted on by His Majesty! Marquis Ning Yuan have been nobles for generations. How can we be frightened by a pompous and nameless torturer?!
If you’re unwilling to stand up for me, fine!
Then I’ll go look for my nephew now and let you take a good look so that you can change your cowardly behavior in the future!”
With a flick of her sleeve, Pei Zhaoyue spat at Gao Xuwei and left angrily without looking back.
“I really didn’t expect Pei Qian’s aunt to be so arrogant!”
As Pei Zhaoyue argued with Gao Xuwei, Lin Suisui was also nagging Lu Ze about Pei Zhaoyue’s visit today. She told him everything that had happened today with a look of disdain. Then, she said, “If not for Pei Qian, his aunt would have to wait for my antidote to save her life every month, like her good husband!”
“Pei Zhaoyue is the youngest daughter of Pei Qian’s grandfather.
She had been pampered since she was young! Because she had never suffered, she had never been afraid of anything!
Previously, when Old Marquis Pei was still alive, he had arranged a marriage for her.
Speaking of which, Pei Zhaoyue was the one who chose that man! Although that family wasn’t famous, her husband was a gentleman.
He had a sweetheart at that time and was already engaged to his sweetheart. They were just waiting for an auspicious date to get married!
However, when he went out for a walk, he met Pei Zhaoyue!
Pei Zhaoyue fell in love at first sight. She wanted to marry him no matter what! For this, she didn’t hesitate to attack his sweetheart and destroy her family.
The man’s family was afraid of the Pei family’s power, so they could only compromise and let him marry Pei Zhaoyue.
There was already an enmity. In addition, you saw Pei Zhaoyue’s personality today. After she married him, she naturally caused a lot of trouble! She insulted her mother-in-law, beat her sister-in-law, pushed her into the lake, and almost drowned her…
In the end, her mother-in-law couldn’t stand the humiliation and hung herself at the entrance of the Marquis Ning Yuan’s Estate!
“After hearing the news, her husband was completely disheartened. At the same time, he issued a divorce letter in front of the Pei family and slit his throat!”
When Lu Ze talked about the past, he was very calm. However, Lin Suisui, who was hearing this for the first time, couldn’t calm down. She looked at Lu Ze in shock and asked in confusion, “The Pei family wasn’t punished?!”
“At that time, Consort Xian was doted on when she entered the palace. The Pei family was in charge of military affairs in the south. Moreover, although Pei Zhaoyue went overboard in this matter, it was a family matter.
“Although the impact wasn’t good, the Pei family was powerful and only used some minor punishment to resolve this matter!”
At the mention of the past, Lu Ze’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Therefore, there’s really no need to be surprised by Pei Zhaoyue’s actions in the north!”
“How am I surprised? I’m disgusted! For such a person to continue to be so arrogant and despotic and enjoy prosperity, the heavens are really blind!”
Lin Suisui slapped the edge of the bed under her angrily. “I should have poisoned her just now and let her experience what it means to be better off dead than alive!”
“If you want to, just do it to her next time.” Lu Ze was amused by Lin Suisui’s angry expression. As he continued to apply medicine to her forehead, he slowly suggested, “Even if you do this, Pei Qian won’t ask too many questions anyway.”
“But she’s Pei Qian’s aunt no matter what!” Lin Suisui frowned. She felt that it wouldn’t be good if she didn’t tell Pei Qian before she did it. After all, they were relatives!
“Pei Qian is different from the rest of the Pei family.” Lu Ze helped Lin Suisui rub the bruise on her forehead and didn’t explain further. “You’ll know in the future.”
“Forget it. If she doesn’t provoke me next time, I won’t cause trouble for her for the time being! But if she continues to cause trouble in front of me, I’ll let them be husband and wife. From now on, they’ll share blessings and difficulties!”
Lin Suisui thought for a moment, then made the decision decisively.
“Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll help you vent your anger in a few days!” Lu Ze chuckled and scratched the tip of Lin Suisui’s nose as he coaxed her dotingly, “Pei Zhaoyue came to cause trouble for you today because Ma Xiuzhu’s mother urged her.
Ma Xiuzhu no longer has any value to us. It’s time to return him to his mother!
Originally, if not for today’s incident, Ma Deng would have been able to celebrate with her son in two days. However, from the looks of it, I was too kind!”
