Chapter 27 Going to see Dad in person
He thought about it and could only think of one person.
Grandma had whispered this to them several times, but none of them took it to heart because their mother had devoted all her heart to them at that time.
Although she often treated them harshly, she never cared about the dowry, and she never broke off relations with her eldest brother as she did now because of a disagreement.
My mother has been acting really abnormal lately.
In particular, when my eldest brother was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, my mother refused to come forward to plead for him.
She is clearly trying to avoid suspicion!!!
You should know that Pei Zhi is my uncle's disciple.
Ministry of Justice.
Pei Zhi was handling official business when he heard his subordinates report that the second son of the Marquis of Jing'an had arrived. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
What is Shen Zhiyan doing here?
He also knew about what happened today. Could something have happened to her?!
He thought about it and asked someone to invite Shen Zhiyan in.
Shen Zhiyan had a sullen face. He walked in aggressively and the door closed immediately.
In the huge room, there were only him and Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi was wearing a crimson official uniform. He sat behind a desk. The candlelight flickered, casting a shadow on his face, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.
"Second Young Master, why do you come to see me at this time? I wonder?" He raised his eyes indifferently, and there was no ripple on his cold and indifferent face.
Don't be fooled by his modest appearance. He is extremely ruthless in handling cases. Countless people have fallen into his hands. People call him the Jade-faced Killer God!
Shen Zhiyan was intimidated by his aura and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Should he ask directly, 'Are you having an affair with my mother in private?'
Is this reasonable?
The key is that he can't say it.
Seeing that he remained silent, Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Second Young Master?"
Shen Zhiyan, “…”
He was careless.
He should have questioned his mother first.
But he's here anyway.
So, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to ask Master Pei to keep his distance from my mother."
Pei Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across his bottomless eyes.
"Second Young Master, what you said is truly ridiculous. Did I get close to the Marquis' wife? I wonder which eye did you see? You dare to throw dirty water on me for no reason. Does the Marquis' wife know? You are so heartless, running to slander her in front of me. Tsk tsk, you really are a good son!"
Shen Zhiyan's face felt a little hot when he said that.
If he had evidence, it wouldn't just be that simple of him coming to tell him this.
"Then why is Lord Pei so reluctant to get married?" This is exactly what he is most suspicious of.
Pei Zhi gathered his sleeves, thought carefully, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid!"
Shen Zhiyan was puzzled, "What is Lord Pei afraid of? Is he afraid of what people say?"
Pei Zhi looked at him jokingly, "Of course I'm afraid of giving birth to a rebellious son like you."
Shen Zhiyan, “…”
He looked furious, clenched his fists tightly, stared at Pei Zhi fiercely, and took a deep breath, "It would be best if Master Pei didn't have such thoughts."
Pei Zhi glanced at him calmly, his lips curled slightly, "I really haven't thought about this before. I have to thank the Second Young Master for reminding me. In the future, I might as well think about it."
He paused, propping his head up with one hand, looking at Shen Zhiyan with a half-smile, "If this official and the Marquis' wife really get married, I will definitely give you a generous gift as a thank you for the matchmaking. I hope you will accept it!"
"How dare you!" Shen Zhiyan was filled with rage and roared at him, "Give up on this idea! Mother will never remarry, because we, her children, will never allow her to do so!"
Pei Zhi uttered an "oh," as if suddenly realizing something. "So the Marquis's wife really is planning to remarry! Second Young Master, please tell me what the Marquis's wife likes so I can send someone to propose marriage. After all, Second Young Master has come to see my father in person! I can't afford to offend Second Young Master!"
"Besides, Second Young Master, you also know that I am already quite old and still alone. In these long, lonely nights, I sleep alone on my cold bed. I really need a wife..."
