Chapter 99 Begging for Mercy

At this moment, Pei Jinyu was in high spirits. He just wanted to watch Song Xiaoer get slapped in the face and paraded through the streets barking like a dog. He didn't care how much the door cost at all.

Originally, the Duke's wife wanted to stop them. After all, a wealthy family like theirs would have to pay several hundred taels of silver. But it was not worth it for them to lose such a large sum of money just to make Song Xiaoer fulfill the bet.

However, just as she was about to open her mouth to stop them, the door of the Song Mansion suddenly opened.

At this time, a middle-aged man with an anxious face walked out of the door and shouted: "Oh, my ancestors! Our young lady is not at home now. She went to the countryside to recuperate yesterday. You should come back after some time!"

"Not at home? You are trying to trick me. Song Xiaoer must have known that she lost and wanted to cheat, so she said that on purpose!" Pei Jinyu didn't believe what the man said at all, and raised her chin in dissatisfaction.

This middle-aged man was the steward of the Song Mansion. Seeing that Pei Jinyu didn't believe him at all, and seeing the dozen or so guards brought by the Duke's Mansion, he felt extremely miserable.

However, thinking of the instructions of his young lady and his wife, he still said with a stiff upper lip: "Miss Pei, I really didn't lie to you. My young lady really went to the countryside to recuperate. She is very ill this time. You should go back first and wait for my young lady to come back. Then she will come to you. Do you think this is okay?"

"You are just coaxing a child! As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Song Xiaoer's excuse. She must want to wait until the storm is over and I forget about it, and then she will come back secretly! I don't care, you get out of my way. If she doesn't come out, I will go in to find her. She must be in there and hasn't gone out." After Pei Jinyu finished speaking, she walked around the housekeeper and planned to walk in from the side.

But the housekeeper still stopped her and continued to beg her with a look of tears: "Miss Pei, I really didn't lie to you. My lady is really sick. If you don't believe me, I can ask our family doctor to come out and tell you what's wrong with her."

"Are you really sick?" Pei Jinyu asked with some doubt when he heard that the other party was willing to call out his family's doctor.

But at this moment, Xu Qingyan stepped forward and said, "The palace doctors of your Song Mansion naturally listen to your master. Can you believe this?"

"That's right! I almost got fooled by you. Your court doctor just says whatever Song Xiao'er tells him to say! I don't care, go and call Song Xiao'er out for me!" Pei Jinyu came to his senses instantly when he heard Xu Qingyue's words. He almost believed the housekeeper's lies just now.

Seeing this, the housekeeper had no choice but to continue nodding and bowing to explain that he was not lying, and kept persuading Pei Jinyu to leave.

Xu Qingyan saw that the housekeeper of the Song Mansion had been stopping Pei Jinyu there, not even caring about being thirsty or tired. She had no choice but to use her own abilities to see how to get Song Xiaoer out.

After Xu Qingyan found out, she couldn't help but said anxiously in her heart: [Hey...if we keep pulling like this, it won't work! Then Song Xiao'er will really have to run away to the countryside. I can only use that ability to see where Song Xiao'er is now. How can I call her out? I think I only have more than ninety times of this superpower left. This should be enough for me to use until I die, right? Haha...I'm going all out just to watch this excitement! ]

Suddenly, Pei Jin, who was arguing with the housekeeper of the Song Mansion, heard this. While he was arguing with the housekeeper of the Song Mansion, he was eavesdropping on Xu Qingyan's thoughts with his mouth open.

[It turns out that Song's father has already beaten Song Xiao'er up! Hahaha... Song Xiao'er is so miserable, I thought she was pretending to be sick, but I didn't expect that she was really sick! However, she didn't go to the countryside, but just hid in her mother's house and didn't dare to come out. Now her father wants to beat her up when he sees her! After all, her father knows that the eighth prince has been named King of Qin, and now he is worried about how to curry favor with the King of Qin! At this time, as long as we shout at the door and say that we will go to the government to sue Song Xiao'er for insulting the King of Qin, I guess Song's father will definitely send Song Xiao'er out for the sake of his own and his son's future! ]

When Pei Jinyu heard this, she was so happy that she went crazy. Before Xu Qingyan could talk to her again, she immediately shouted loudly towards the Song Mansion: "Song Xiaoer, if you don't come out, I will think you are cheating, and I will go to the government to sue you. I heard you insulting and wronging His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin that day! If you come out now to fulfill the bet, I can still let you live. If you don't come out, I will go to the government to sue you, and then the whole Song Mansion will be in trouble!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down and said to Pei Jinyu: "Miss Pei, you must not report to the police!"

"If you don't want to report to the police, then tell your young lady to come out and you go tell your master what he says and see what he says!" Pei Jinyu looked at the housekeeper and said unhappily.

The housekeeper was so frightened that he had to send someone in to report hurriedly.

After a while, Lord Song brought out Song Xiao'er, who was still struggling and crying, with a few servants. Madam Song followed behind, wiping her tears and trying to persuade her.

At this time, Lord Song came out cautiously with a look of horror on his face, and said, "Don't go to the government to sue us. My daughter is here. Let her bear the consequences of her mistakes. Don't go to the government to sue us. We in the Song Mansion respect His Royal Highness the King of Qin very much! My daughter didn't know what was good for her, so she offended His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Take her to apologize to the King of Qin now. If she dares not to listen, I will break her legs!"

Pei Jinyu was delighted to see the completely different attitudes of Song's father and mother. It seemed that what the eldest sister-in-law said was right! For the sake of his own future, Song's father would not protect Song Xiao'er, the evil girl.

Therefore, Pei Jinyu did not make it difficult and politely replied: "Don't worry, Lord Song. I am just asking Song Xiao'er to fulfill her promise today. As long as she can learn to bark like a dog and parade around the streets, I will never report her to the government again."

"Wuwu... Dad... I can't go... I can't go! If I go, it will bring shame to the entire Song family! Dad, please save me! Pei Jinyu, I was wrong, isn't it enough for me to apologize to you? Please let me go, okay?" Song Xiao'er was so scared that she burst into tears. She begged for mercy to her father and cried to Pei Jinyu.

At this time, Song's father's face was ugly and angry. He knew that this matter was embarrassing, but what could he do? Between the choice of humiliation and being reported to the government, compared with openly offending the King of Qin, he could only choose humiliation.

"Miss Pei, Madam Guogong, please let Xiao'er go. Xiao'er and Miss Pei can be said to have grown up together. Xiao'er was confused this time, and I promise that she will never do that again. Please forgive me and let her go!" After Madam Song came out, she changed her previous arrogant attitude, wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and begged for mercy pitifully to Madam Guogong and the others.

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife's face immediately turned cold, and she sneered, "You know you were wrong now, but it's too late! Jin Yu advised you so much at that time, but you still felt you were right. Now, seeing that the Eighth Prince was named the King of Qin, you are afraid? Now, the one you slandered is the King of Qin, not our Duke's Mansion, so don't even think about escaping!"
