Chapter 41 Pei's visit again

Lan Fang's face was filled with anxiety, and Fu Danjun shook his head: "I'm fine. I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm going to bed first."

After hearing this, Lan Fang quickly called a maid to prepare bath water.

Xu Yu kept waiting for Fu Danjun to come back and never slept.

Now she hurried over to check on him, but was stopped by Lan Fang: "Miss, you need to go to bed. Come back tomorrow."

Xu Yu had no choice but to give up and turned back.

After Fu Danjun went to bed, he suddenly couldn't sleep anymore, so he asked Lan Fang to chat with him and talked about what happened during the day.

Lan Fang sobbed in pain: "My lady has suffered so much, it's a pity that the emperor didn't stay with you."

After hearing this, Fu Danjun blushed and was too embarrassed to tell others about her "horse sex" with Xie Changsheng.

He will naturally leave when he is satisfied. Why should you stay?

"It's enough that you care about me."

Fu Danjun wiped her tears and asked, "Tell me how you tipped off the person."

Lan Fang burst into laughter and said, "I'm really lucky. When I went to the government office with Yuan to file a complaint, I happened to meet the eunuch who had left the palace with the emperor. As soon as I saw the eunuch, I felt that the emperor was not far away. I told the eunuch and he found the emperor."

Fu Danjun poked her forehead with a smile: "Little clever girl."

Lan Fang smiled and suddenly yawned.

When Fu Danjun spoke again, he heard that she had fallen asleep with snoring.

The next day, Yuan and Xu Yu came to visit early in the morning.

Unfortunately, Fu Danjun was still asleep. Yuan put down the porridge she had cooked herself and said, "Lanfang, don't forget to let your sister drink it when she wakes up."

Fu Danjun woke up after noon.

Lan Fang saw her pale face and was really worried: "Since there is nothing else to do at home, Miss, drink your porridge and sleep for a while."

Fu Danjun knew that her health was deteriorating because she had a cold body and was forced by Shen Zhizhang to soak in a cold bathtub for a long time, and was also exposed to cold wind on the way.

"Don't tell Xu Yu and Yuan that I'm not feeling well and make them worry."

Lan Fang agreed and planned to help Fu Danjun go back to sleep.

The nanny came over and reported: "A guest has arrived, and his surname is Pei."

Fu Danjun and Lan Fang looked at each other with disgust on their faces: "Miss, I will go and send her away."

Fu Danjun quickly said, "It's useless. She'll come again if she can't achieve her goal."

The next moment, Pei came in happily: "I hope you are well, sister."

Fu Danjun saw her wearing a gorgeous dress made of brocade and her hair covered with gold and silver ornaments: "Oh, my sister is becoming more and more noble."

Pei smiled complacently: "The Marquis's Mansion is now on the rise, and the Marquis is increasingly valued by the Emperor. I, your sister, naturally benefit from this, and my three children are also becoming more and more sensible."

Fu Danjun sneered: "Did you come here just to show off?"

Pei chuckled and said, "Sister, how could you forget? The Marquis and I are getting married, and I'm here to invite you to the wedding."

Fu Danjun did not comment, but picked up the tea and drank it slowly.

Lan Fang knew that the young lady was unwilling, so she hurriedly said, "My young lady has caught a cold and is not feeling well, so she won't go for now."

Pei quickly said with a smile: "The doctor who has been visiting the Marquis's residence recently has very good medical skills. Sister, please go and get him treated."

Seeing that she was determined, Fu Danjun was too lazy to argue with her: "Which date?"

Seeing that she had given in, Pei smiled and said, "Ten days later."

Then he changed the subject and stopped talking about marriage: "Sister, have you forgotten? The last time I came here, you promised to help me gain the right to manage the family."

Only then did Fu Danjun realize that inviting her to the wedding was just a pretense and that the real purpose was to ask for her help.

Lan Fang also heard it and was so angry that she wanted to kick him out.

Fu Danjun smiled faintly: "I haven't forgotten, but my sister hasn't helped me in any way. Don't you feel guilty about it?"

Pei immediately scolded her: "Sister, you are so heartless to say that. If I hadn't helped, how would the dowry have ended up in your hands?"

Fu Danjun frowned: "Oh? So this is all thanks to my sister?"

Pei admitted without blushing: "Of course it's all my credit."

Fu Danjun burst out laughing: "What a coincidence! The emperor said it was his contribution. How are you two going to divide it?"

Lan Fang couldn't help laughing and secretly praised the young lady for being so smart.

Pei was stunned for a moment. "Oh, how dare I argue with the emperor? Damn it, damn it."

Then she changed the subject: "Although I have no merit, I have worked hard to persuade my younger brother and sister-in-law and the old lady not to argue with you, which brought peace to the country."

Fu Danjun didn't bother to waste time with her and asked directly: "What benefits will I get from helping you gain the power to manage the family? I'm a very practical person."

Pei smiled and said, "Of course there are many, for example, we can get along like sisters from now on."

Fu Danjun shook her head: "I don't lack sisters."

Pei quickly smiled and said, "I'm the head of the household now. If anyone bullies me in the future, the Marquis' Mansion will help."

Fu Danjun still shook his head: "No one dares to bully me."

Pei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have three children who will take care of my sister in her old age and see her to the end of her life..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Danjun became angry: "You think I can't have children? I'll never have an offspring, right?"

Pei quickly stood up and apologized, "Don't be upset, sister. I'm speaking from the heart. Although you can have children, you haven't found a husband yet. Furthermore, as a merchant's daughter, it's not easy for you to marry into a wealthy family in the capital. Furthermore, you're divorced, so you can't compare to a young woman waiting to be married."

Lan Fang couldn't stand it anymore: "Miss, let's kick her out?"

Pei glared at me angrily: "If you kick me out and cause a big commotion, won't it damage the reputation of both families?"

Fu Danjun signaled Lan Fang to step aside and let Pei sit down.

Pei sat down again, still talking nonchalantly: "Sister, of course you think so. With the Emperor's protection, there's nothing to worry about."

The subtext is, if the emperor really cares about you, why would he leave you here alone? And why would he let you go out to do business and bargain, and show your face in public?

Fu Danjun was too lazy to debate this: "Didn't I say that? I'm very realistic. Although I'm not short of money, I don't care about having more."

When Pei heard about the silver, she became depressed: "How much does my sister need?"

Fu Danjun smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be too much. One hundred taels of silver a month is enough."

Pei was stunned: "One hundred taels a month? Why don't you ask how much the Marquis's salary is?"

Fu Danjun burst out laughing. "Isn't the Marquis a fourth-rank official? And you're wearing brocade and a lot of new jewelry. Are you still short of money?"

Pei couldn't stand it any longer: "That's too much, ten taels a month is too much, five taels is fine."

Fu Danjun rolled his eyes and called out, "Lan Fang, how much does our table of food cost?"

Lan Fang quickly came over and said with a smile, "The minimum is sixty taels of silver. Anything less than sixty taels of silver per table is only fit to feed the dogs."

Fu Danjun immediately frowned and said angrily: "Look at what you said, isn't this calling Sister Pei the same as a dog?"

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Pei slammed the table and stood up: "Since you don't agree, then forget it."

Fu Danjun said lazily: "Goodbye, I won't say goodbye."

Lan Fang immediately asked Tietou to close the gate.
