Chapter 291 Unexpected
Liu Wenshu's face turned cold.
The gate opened at that moment.
Ye Wan appeared at the door, "If you two haven't argued enough, don't come back. It's really annoying."
The two have been bickering for the past few days, like fighting cocks, and I have no idea what they're thinking.
Remembering Liu Wenshu's intentions, Pei San's words became somewhat unpleasant, "You, a woman, should probably avoid showing your face in public as much as possible, you..."
Ye Wan laughed out loud, "What, you didn't even know I married Young Master Pei? Now you're telling me what to do about me showing my face in public? And you're saying something you don't like?"
Pei San's words were abruptly cut off, and looking at Ye Wan's face, he suddenly felt his ears burning.
I don't know if it was from anger, or...
"If you don't want to listen, turn around and leave. Nobody's stopping you."
Pei San didn't expect her to send him away so directly, and subconsciously said, "A woman's beauty lies in her chastity and tranquility, you..."
Ye Wan said, "There are plenty of virtuous women out there. Like I said, just turn around and leave. No one will stop you."
Pei Zhichuan opened his mouth.
He sighed. "I didn't come here today to argue with you. Lately, some children have been disappearing inexplicably."
He set up a school and hired many teachers, and Ye Hua went after some consideration.
Considering the practical situation, the boys and girls were separated. Ye Hua only taught girls, and there was another girl around ten years old who had also received some education, who taught the girls together with Ye Hua.
Recently, several children at the school have inexplicably disappeared and haven't come to school. When Pei Zhichuan sent someone to inquire, the families clearly said that the children had already come to school.
This is serious.
"Disappeared? What happened?" Ye Wan frowned upon hearing this.
Liu Wenshu spoke up from the side, "I'll have someone investigate this matter when I get back."
"No need, I have people I can help with, Aunt." Ye Wan looked at Aunt Hui.
Huigu nodded.
She has access to a small portion of Prince Jing's connections, so she can find out information very quickly.
"Mother, Mother, I'm back!"
Sanya was covered in sweat from running, and Erya came back with a shout.
Upon seeing Young Master Pei and Liu Wenshu, they greeted each other, "Young Master Liu, Young Master Pei, you're here too, what a coincidence."
Er Ya said to Ye Wan, "Mother, a batch of pastries I made today didn't meet the standards. Since Young Master Pei is here, I'd like to give them to the children at the school. Is that alright?"
Young Master Pei said, "You can sell those that don't look good at a lower price."
He knew that Er Ya's pastries were quite expensive.
Er Ya said, "I can tell you don't know how to do business. I'd rather give it to the children than sell it at a lower price. If I lower the price once, no one will buy these things anymore. Everyone will wait for the price to drop before buying."
Pei San was surprised, "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could speak so eloquently about business."
"Of course, my mother taught me all of this."
Er Ya said proudly, "Mother, are you going out? We can go to school together."
Since she was going to offer help and warmth, as the young boss, she definitely had to go in person; doing good deeds should leave a mark.
Ye Wan also needed to find out about the child's disappearance and visit Ye Hua while she was at it.
Liu Wenshu and Pei Zhichuan also went together.
As soon as Ye Wan got off the carriage at the school gate, a cart went out of control and crashed into her.
"careful!"
Pei Zhichuan happened to be next to Ye Wan and instinctively pulled her over.
He turned a corner and put his arm around her waist.
Liu Wenshu reacted quickly and chased after the cart.
Er Ya and San Ya, who had arrived a step behind, let out a gasp.
Liu Wenshu managed to control the cart and prevent anyone from getting hurt, so everyone turned around.
Pei Zhichuan realized something was wrong and quickly released the person, looking at Ye Wan, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Ye Wan shook her head.
A middle-aged man, covered in sweat, rushed over anxiously. "Sir, Madam, I'm so sorry, I was distracted and didn't notice."
Liu Wenshu's eyes were icy cold. "I think you're asking for trouble. Your cart is full of stones. If you hit someone, they'll die on the spot!"
Luckily, Ye Wan dodged quickly; if she had been hit in the middle like that, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"My lord, spare me! My lord, I just wanted to haul some stones to repair my backyard. I didn't expect the rope to break while going uphill. It was absolutely not on purpose. Please spare me, my lord!"
The man kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Pei Zhichuan said, "Send the person to the yamen. Investigate him thoroughly."
Whether it was intentional or accidental, an investigation will clarify the matter.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man panicked and began to beg Ye Wan for mercy, "Madam, Madam, spare my life! I have elderly parents and young children to support!"
Ye Wan ignored it and went straight into the school.
This scene was witnessed by countless people and quickly spread in a small circle.
The renowned Third Young Master Pei actually engaged in intimate behavior with a married woman in the street.
...
...
The Liu family.
"That storybook about high-society ladies is quite popular lately, isn't it? I think if we change the main characters a couple of times, everyone would be happy to read it."
Cui tapped the wooden fish repeatedly, her once exquisitely made-up face now bearing the marks of her previous makeup.
Hearing the rumors outside, he smiled.
The old nanny beside her advised, "Madam, please listen to this old servant's advice. This Ye Shi is just an insignificant person; we don't need to..."
Cui sneered, "Why wouldn't it be worth it? Do you know that most of Cui's family fortune has been lost? Lin Anyuan is just a peasant. What is he? He can't touch him in Jiangnan, but do you think I can't touch his wife?"
Besides, Liu Wenshu loves to go there, so let's just add fuel to the fire.
Ye Wan was unaware that she was so hated because of Lin Anyuan.
Looking at the children in the school, he thought to himself that although Pei Zhichuan liked to pretend to be aloof, he did quite a good job.
"Madam, will you come again tomorrow?"
As Ye Wan was about to leave, Xiao Bao, holding a snack in his hand, chased after her and whispered a question.
These days, with plenty of food and warm clothes, the once pitiful big-headed dolls have started to look adorable.
Ye Wan patted his head, "I don't know about tomorrow, I'll come when I have time."
"Yes, Madam is so kind. The second young lady's pastries are also very delicious."
Xiao Bao smiled broadly.
Ye Wan suddenly felt that this little treasure looked a bit like...
