Yu Tang agreed with a smile, but couldn't take his eyes off Pei Yan.

She wanted to see his face clearly, besides the eyebrows and eyes she liked, what else was there...

But Pei Yan had already pulled her up from the bed with a smile, and urged her: "Hurry up! I have something to discuss with you and Mom later!"

Is it related to his late return?

Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat. He quickly responded and got up to get dressed.

Pei Yan did not stand by and watch her get dressed as usual, or help her pick out one or two small pieces of jewelry while she was doing her makeup, but instead left the inner room.

Soon, voices were heard outside.

One is Pei Yan and the other is Pei Man.

It's just that it's far away, so I can't hear it clearly.

Something must have happened.

Yu Tang was a little anxious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled, put on her makeup, and went out with Pei Yan to go to Mr. Pei's place.

Pei Yan walked slower than usual. He asked Yu Tang, "I'm going on a long trip. Do you want to go with me?"

"Of course I want to be with you!" Yu Tang answered without thinking.

These days, she and Pei Yan have been as close as honey and oil. She misses him if she doesn't see him for a while, not to mention that he is going on a long trip and she doesn't know when he will be back or how long she will not see him.

Pei Yan smiled, looking very satisfied with her answer.

She couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going? Is it going to be a long time? You should tell Mom first, right? And I should also tell Mom about Qingzhu Lane, right?"

"Of course." Pei Yan smiled and said, "These are all funeral matters, easy to arrange. I asked you first because I want to know what you think."

Yu Tang's face was a little hot and her heart was pounding, but she still walked forward boldly and pulled Pei Yan's clothes, whispering: "I want to be with you."

This time Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Yu Tang felt a little embarrassed.

Pei Yan had already put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I'm planning to go to Jiangxi soon to see the manors I bought in Jiangxi."

Taking Yu Tang along also means letting her relax and see the world.

Yu Tang couldn't suppress his smile.

You know, most people in Lin'an have never been to Suzhou in their lives, let alone Jiangxi.

She could really broaden her horizons by traveling far away with Pei Yan.

She couldn't help but ask, "When are we leaving? Lord Tao is on duty in Jiangxi. Will you go to visit him? What's the weather like there? What should I bring with me?"

Cheerful like a little bird.

Pei Yan was very satisfied that he could make Yu Tang happy.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Pei Laoan's yard.

Of course it would be better for Pei Yan to talk to Pei Laoan about this matter.

Yu Tang smiled and accompanied Pei Yan to have breakfast with Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei asked Yu Tang, "What's the good news? I see you're always smiling."

Yu Tang hurriedly sat up straight and looked at Pei Yan for help.

Pei Yan was about to speak when Mr. Pei asked, "Why did you come back so late yesterday?"

It can be seen that whatever happened in the Pei family, Pei Laoan knew about it.

Pei Yan thought about it, put aside his long journey, and explained why he came back late: "The man who stabbed Li Duan to death was killed just after leaving Hangzhou City. Lord Wu and Lord Li were both very worried, and sent people to ask me politely if it was my intention."

Pei Laoan frowned.

Yu Tang was very surprised.

Pei Yan was in a low mood when talking about this matter. He said: "I didn't expect this to happen. I sent people to investigate carefully and found that this matter was related to the eleventh child of the Peng family. I handed the evidence to Lord Li. As for how Lord Li will solve it, it depends on what he thinks. But I am also responsible for this matter. I clearly knew that the person who instigated him was Peng Shiyi, but I didn't take more precautions, causing him to lose his life in vain."

When he said this, his eyes fell on Yu Tang.

Yu Tang once told him that there was a hidden relationship between Peng Shiyi and Li Duan, but he thought he had broken the situation and could protect Yu Tang. However, he did not expect things to develop to this point.

When Pei Laoan heard his son's ulterior motives, he could not help but ask in a stern voice, "What on earth is going on?"

Pei Yan sighed and concealed the matter of the painting "Fishing in Songxi" by the Yu family. He only said that the Peng family was afraid that the Quanzhou Maritime Customs would be abolished, so they had their eyes on the Ningbo Maritime Customs. Because they were jealous of the Pei family, they asked the Li family for help, hoping to cause some trouble for the Pei family so that the Pei family would have no time to take care of the business in Ningbo. Who knew that the Li family not only failed to help, but also exposed their whereabouts, alarmed the Pei family, and let the Pei family prepare in advance, and also exposed what Li Duan had done. The Peng family was afraid that the Li family would expose their family and kill people to silence them, so they first instigated the victim to stab Li Duan to death, and then killed the victim... and picked Yu Tang and the Yu family out.

Yu Tang knew Pei Yan's good intentions, so it was even harder for him to say anything.

Pei Laoan was furious when he heard this and said, "The Peng family is too insidious. You should have less contact with such a family. Being rich but unkind will not bring you good results."

Pei Yan agreed and said, "So I handed him over to the government. If they resort to private punishment, what's the difference between our family and the Peng family?"

Mr. Pei nodded repeatedly.

Yu Tang, however, looked at Pei Yan differently.

Not using power requires more self-control and perseverance than abusing power.

Yu Tang admires Pei Yan very much.

Old Mr. Pei started talking to Yu Tang about Zhang Ying's aide, but just as he started talking, Aunt Chen came in awkwardly to report that Mr. Chen was here again.

Although Pei Tong was a bit overstepping his authority, his words were not without reason.

This was originally Pei Yan's business, but Mr. Chen kept disturbing Mr. Pei.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan had already told Aunt Chen: "Please ask him to sit in my study!"

Aunt Chen said in embarrassment, "Mr. Chen said he came to say goodbye. He also said he just received a letter from the capital saying that the seventh master of the Peng family, Peng Yu, was appointed as the Minister of Justice, and was personally recommended by the Prime Minister, Lord Shen."

Just a few short sentences reveal so much information.

This forced Pei Yan to take it seriously.

He hurriedly invited Mr. Chen in.

Mr. Chen's face was not only full of fatigue but also full of anxiety. He said straight to the point: "Before I came, Lord Zhang and I talked for half a night. At that time, we both felt that we were quite reasonable. But when I came to the Pei family and saw the peaceful days of the Pei family, I regretted not persuading Lord Zhang at that time. But I didn't expect that my momentary hesitation would lead to the situation today. Xiaguang, Lord Shen should propose to retire soon. Lord Zhang can't do without me, so I won't bother you anymore. I will set off for the capital tomorrow morning."

Pei Yan said nothing.

Mr. Chen sighed several times, bowed and left.

"Wait a minute." Just as Mr. Chen had one foot out of the door, Pei Yan suddenly called him and said calmly, "I'll go to the capital with you tomorrow."

"What?!" Mr. Chen was surprised and happy.

Pei Yan said expressionlessly, "Sir, please go back and pack your luggage first. I have to talk to my mother and take care of things at home."

Mr. Chen was so excited that he didn't know which way was which. He kept saying "yes". However, he was a man in his forties, but he stepped back with joy.

The room was completely silent.

After a while, Yu Tang helped Pei Laoan out from behind the screen.

"Mom!" Pei Yan called out to Pei Laoan somewhat helplessly, then looked at Yu Tang with guilt in his eyes.

Yu Tang quickly shook her head at him to show that she didn't mind.

Compared to going to Jiangxi, things in Beijing are naturally more important.

Pei Laoan was shocked.

Pei Yan respected his father very much. Since he had made a promise before Old Master Pei died, it was impossible for him to overturn this promise, but now...

Pei Yan held his mother's hand and said in a deep voice, "I thought about it carefully for a long time last night. Instead of just defending and avoiding, it is better to take the initiative to participate in it, catch those people off guard, beat them so hard that they lose their voices in pain, and make them remember that our Pei family should consider their own weight."

Mr. Pei didn't say anything for a long time.

She knows the son she gave birth to and raised herself.

If Pei You is an ambitious person who is never willing to be ordinary, Pei Xuan is an honest and law-abiding person, then Pei Yan is a person who has a strong ambition and is never willing to give up and can wait silently to achieve his goals. Since he feels that the current defense can no longer be ignored by the Pei family, he will definitely be aggressive and take the initiative to attack and find a way to get rid of the Pei family's predicament.

Wasn't it because of this that Old Lady Pei chose him to be the clan leader?

Since you can endure it but don't swallow your anger.

The reason why they let him stay at home is simply because they are worried that he is young and energetic and has not cultivated himself well enough.

When the child grows up, he can no longer be kept at home. He has to be released into the wild to fight with others so that he can survive in the cruel environment.

Mr. Pei tightly held his son's hand, without hesitation, and said firmly: "Since you have made up your mind, don't hesitate. Go to the capital. Give those dogs who look down on others a good beating, let them know that we, the Pei family, take refuge in Lin'an because we don't want to cause trouble. But if someone dares to provoke us, we will not give up. Let them see what kind of family we are!"

The aura with which he spoke was like that of a general ready to go into battle; not only was he strong and resolute, but he was also full of fearlessness and indomitable will.

Yu Tang's eyes were opened, and he began to yearn for it.

Only a mother like Pei Laoan can raise sons like Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, right?

She should also learn from Mrs. Pei and be a good mother!

She was aroused by Pei Laoan's fighting spirit.

Pei Yan smiled, took his hand out of his mother's palm, patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will be back after I have dealt with the matter in the capital."

"If your father and I were worried about you, we wouldn't have handed the Pei family over to you." Pei Laoan said, "I believe you have your own ideas and can handle the Pei family's affairs well."

Pei Yan said “hmm”.

Mrs. Pei stood up and said, "Since you have made the decision, don't bother with the mother-in-law. Go back and pack your bags! I'll take you to the ship tomorrow morning." At this point, she thought of the second wife and asked, "Are you going with your second sister-in-law, or alone?"
