12:35 Imperial Capital Time.
It was just noon, but the entire imperial capital was shrouded in dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were extremely dark, as if it were the end of the world.
Soon, there was a strong wind and heavy rain.
Such a huge city was swallowed by the violent storm.
Starting at seven in the morning, Aunt Liu, accompanied by four maids, had been standing outside the study on the fourth floor, carrying exquisite food. The food on the trays changed wave after wave, but the study door showed no sign of opening.
Xu Ze arrived at the Imperial Palace at 1:00 p.m.
Seeing that he was holding another extremely thick stack of documents in his arms, Aunt Liu's brows immediately furrowed.
Pei Yucheng stayed in the study, without eating, drinking or sleeping, and frantically processed the documents sent by Xu Ze for three days.
Without Pei Yucheng's permission, Aunt Liu would never dare to step into the study.
However, when Xu Ze went in to deliver the documents, when the door was open for a few seconds, Aunt Liu saw Pei Yucheng sitting at the desk, processing the documents quickly through the crack of the door.
Not only the desk in front of him, but also the floor at his feet was piled with piles of documents.
The pale light from the corner of the study cast a shadow on his tired face. In just three days, Pei Yucheng had lost a lot of weight, his face was gray, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his jaw was covered with dense green stubble, and his hair was disheveled and messy. He no longer looked as noble and arrogant as usual, and was in a state of extreme embarrassment.
Aunt Liu was heartbroken.
I originally wanted to take the opportunity to follow Xu Ze in and find a way to get Pei Yucheng to eat something. Even the strongest body could not stand working so frantically without eating, drinking or sleeping.
However, just as Aunt Liu stepped into the study, before she could even utter the word "Young Master", Pei Yucheng suddenly looked up and shouted violently, "Get out—"
Aunt Liu's eyes immediately turned red.
It wasn't because Pei Yucheng yelled at her fiercely and badly for the first time.
But the moment Pei Yucheng looked over, Aunt Liu saw that in addition to the blazing anger in his eyes, there was also... despair.
After Xu Ze left.
The four maids who had been standing for the entire morning carrying the meals were beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.
The maid said, "Aunt Liu, this isn't going to work. How about we give the master a call?!"
Another maid said, "The eldest young master is so stubborn. Not only will the old master be mentioned, but even if the Buddha comes, it will be of no use."
The maid said, "We can't just let the young master go on like this."
Another maid hesitated, then tentatively said, "Why not give Miss Ji another call?!"
The maid exploded upon hearing this: "Why are you still calling that woman?! When I called her yesterday and told her about the young master's situation, she ignored me and now she's humiliating herself?! It's all because of her that the young master is like this. When she left the Imperial Mansion the day before yesterday, did she even look back?! If I bring her back, wouldn't that just make the young master laugh?! Her dirty and messy relationships are already insulting enough to the young master. I might as well take this opportunity to cut them off..."
The two maids were arguing fiercely.
It has reached the point where he speaks without thinking.
Aunt Liu was about to scold when she heard a "bang" from the study, the sound of a cup hitting the wall and shattering.
“…”
“…”
In an instant, upon hearing Pei Yucheng's reminder, everyone in the corridor fell into a deathly silence. They all stared with terrified eyes and looked up at the door of the study...
When Liu Tong took the account book for the second half of the year and went to Pei Yucheng to review and sign it, he saw from afar that Aunt Liu was still standing outside the study with the maid. When he walked closer, he found that the meal in the maid's hand was still intact, and Liu Tong frowned deeply.
Liu Tong stood there for a while.
I want to say something to Aunt Liu.
Before he could open his mouth, a dull sound suddenly came from the study.
It's quite a big commotion.
Aunt Liu and Liu Tong were stunned. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Then, Liu Tong knocked on the study door and said, "Master, I need you to review the Pei family's expenditure account book for the second half of the year..."
Inside, it was dead quiet.
Liu Tong opened the door of the study.
The moment he opened the door, Liu Tong saw Pei Yucheng's dark figure lying motionless on the floor in the middle of the study. Liu Tong yelled in fear: "Go call a doctor, go quickly..."
