Xie Zhaozhao didn't give a direct answer, but asked, "How will you live after you leave the manor?"
"Miss has an estate outside the city, but the master and mistress don't know about it. We'll have to support ourselves from now on."
That estate was a dowry that the old lady (Pei Yuan's grandmother) secretly gave to Pei Yuan before she died.
"Go wait at the estate first!" Xie Zhaozhao told Yuanyuan to see her out.
Back then, Minister Pei was still a minister, so Xie Zhaozhao would definitely not do something that would cause Gu Shaoyu to become an enemy openly.
Pei Yuan, beaten to the point of near death, was left to fend for herself in the courtyard. Less than half an hour later, a servant reported to Madam Pei in a panic: "The eldest young lady is missing!"
Madam Pei was furious. This shameless slut must be having an affair.

From that day on, Pei Kunfu and his wife spent a fortune, digging holes in walls and exploring the ground to find Pei Yuan and kill her.
