Chapter 66 The inheritance she entrusted to Hui'an Bank was exposed
The child doesn’t want his father?
As soon as Pei Yanli stepped into the gate of the Cheng residence, he heard Cheng Shuyi say that the child didn't need a father.
What exactly happened?
How could she say such serious words?
Zhao was also stunned.
No, why is Cheng Shuyi so stubborn?
When most women hear her say this, isn't their first reaction to put the children first and compromise for them?
Shouldn't she have said that as long as the child could enter the palace and return to his father, she, as a mother, could let go?
How can it be possible for a child to not have a father?
Yanli happened to hear her say this.
What should she do?
"Mother, what injustice have you suffered that you want the child to not even want his father?" Pei Yanli asked Zhao directly.
He remembered that he had said that no one from the Pei Mansion was allowed to disturb Cheng Shuyi and her mother and son!
Just now, a servant from the mansion came to see him and said that Zhao had gone to Cheng's house.
Pei Yanli rushed over immediately.
Zhao was tricked by Cheng Shuyi and her face looked very ugly.
It should be Cheng Shuyi who is speechless at this moment, why is she the one who suffers in silence?
"It's okay." Zhao suppressed the anger in her chest. "It was Cheng who misunderstood mother's intention. Mother just wanted to ask her to let Ye'er go. Ye'er will be sent to the tribute court tomorrow."
Pei Yanli heard from the servant that Pei Ye was imprisoned.
He never asked about the affairs of other masters and servants in the mansion.
Everything is taken care of by my parents.
He only needs to worry about the affairs of the court.
For these cousins, they are just living in the same house.
Sometimes when he was busy, Pei Yanli might not see Pei Ye and Pei Xiang for a month.
Pei Yanli looked at his second uncle Pei Zhuang and asked, "I heard that Pei Ye killed someone?"
Pei Zhuang was afraid of his nephew from the bottom of his heart.
Not only because these uncles eat and use his money, but the children also rely on him for care.
It was more because of the awe-inspiring aura of the Regent that Pei Yanli exuded.
Just one look from him would make one want to bend their knees and beg for mercy.
Pei Zhuang's back was covered in cold sweat. "Yanli, Ye Ge'er didn't mean it. He was just under too much pressure from the exam..."
Cheng Shuyi interrupted Pei Zhuang coldly, "You tied someone up and forced them to drink for two hours until they died. Isn't that intentional?"
Pei Zhuang moved his lips, unable to refute.
Now he could only pray that Pei Yanli would help Pei Ye because they were of the same clan.
But Pei Yanli didn't.
"Mother, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, please go back. I will contact Jingzhao Prefecture and ask them to take good care of Pei Ye."
"Yanli!"
Pei Zhuang's eyes widened when he heard this.
He stepped forward and grabbed Pei Yanli's arm, "Ye Ge'er is your brother. He will be sent to the Imperial Court tomorrow. He can't stay in jail."
"Please save him. Just think of it as Second Uncle begging you to save Brother Ye."
"Isn't this just a matter of your words?"
Pei Yanli's face turned pale and he said coldly, "Second uncle, be careful with your words."
He is the regent, not the bandit king.
How did the Pei family fall into decline? Don’t they have any idea?
Do you still want the emperor to be wary of you until Pei Ye, Pei Xiang and other juniors are driven out of Shengjing City?
“But, but…”
Pei Zhuang still felt sorry for his son.
Ye Ge'er finally made some progress in his studies and was about to be able to enter the Imperial Examination Hall to take the imperial examination and obtain fame.
At the last moment, he was suddenly thrown into jail.
Brother Ye’s life is over!
Second Madam Lu was willing to save her face. She knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Yanli while crying.
"Yanli, Second Aunt is begging you, please save Ye'er. He is still young and ignorant, and he can't bear the hardship of being imprisoned..."
Cheng Shuyi was about to explode with rage. She raised her voice and said angrily, "My store manager is only nineteen years old!"
The guys in her shop are all young.
A group of young men, from humble backgrounds, but willing to endure hardships.
Even if Qulou needed to be open until midnight, they never said a word.
They were full of longing and wanted to earn some money to live a decent life in Shengjing City and get married.
Why should he lose his life because of a bet made casually by a group of playboys!
Letting Pei Ye spend two years in prison is already too easy for him!
The Second Madam was mad, "They are just a few lowly people, how can they be compared with Brother Ye!"
"Untouchable?" Cheng Shuyi mocked her, "I wonder what rank and status the Second Madam of the Pei family holds now?"
Pei Zhuang was not an official in the court, so Lu was not an official's wife.
There is no rank of noble lady.
That is, a common people.
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she covered her chest and couldn't speak.
"Mother..." Pei Xiang supported her and helped her calm down.
With Pei Yanli around, even she didn't dare to contradict her cousin.
"Someone come—"
Pei Yanli shouted outside the door: "Help the masters return home."
The school term at Baima Academy will be over soon.
It was almost evening and people nearby were going out to buy groceries and cook.
Do they think this matter isn't big enough?
After the Pei family left, Cheng Shuyi still had a stern face.
He went to the kitchen, took the spatula and hit the big iron pot several times.
It wasn't until the two children came home from school that she calmed down and started cooking.
Pei Yanli knew she was angry.
In front of the two children, he endured and did not ask until the two children went to bed.
Then he went to find Cheng Shuyi.
"What you said today, that it doesn't matter if the two children don't have a father, was probably just something you said in anger."
There was always only one chair in front of her desk, so Pei Yanli could only lean against her table.
"Don't say that next time."
"Whether it was said in anger or not is not important."
Cheng Shuyi said unhappily, "Anyway, Qiqi Xuxu can't enter your house, it doesn't matter whether you have a father or not."
According to Zhao's idea, Xu Xu would suffer if the two children came into the mansion.
According to the second branch of the Pei family, both children would be plotted against if they entered the mansion.
After what happened today, Cheng Shuyi even thought about taking the two children back to modern times.
It was really hard to survive in ancient times...
Pei Yanli frowned, "You seem to have no confidence in me?"
Cheng Shuyi gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
Pei Yanli sighed and said, "I have already submitted the documents for the division of the palace, but the palace's finances involve a wide range of matters, so it will take some time to divide it up. We will have to wait a little longer."
The Regent's Palace has a lot of property including money, land, houses, debts, etc., which are connected with those of the Pei Palace.
If the government is divided, these things must be clearly distinguished.
It’s better to go to the government to register.
"You don't need to tell me about your affairs. Even if you can't divide this mansion, I can raise the child by myself." Cheng Shuyi lowered his head to look at the accounts.
Every word she said tonight made Pei Yanli angry.
He stared at the account book on her desk and asked, "You're raising a child with just the little money you saved in Hui'an Bank?"
Cheng Shuyi's hand froze as he flipped through the account book. He looked up and asked, "How did you know?"
