One has to eat his own food and shoulder his own responsibility. When he looked up, the gloom on Pei Xiyuan's face was completely gone. He clasped his fists towards Ding Youtian and laughed out loud, "Perhaps my words did not express my meaning clearly, causing Madam Jian to misunderstand. This girl..."
He glanced at Meixiang and said, "She and I have some connection. Madam Jian is well-informed about her marriage, so I asked Madam Jian to stay and ask her a few questions. I have no other intentions. If this has caused Madam Jian to misunderstand that I have other intentions, I am willing to apologize in person."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Jian Ning.
The reason why Pei Xiyuan is loved and supported by his officers and soldiers has a lot to do with his willingness to take responsibility and never letting his men take the blame for him. That's why he has gathered a group of loyal followers around him.
Xiong Er couldn't bear to see his general being so humiliated in front of others, so he clasped his fists and said to Jian Ning, "My young master has no ill intentions. I hope the female Bodhisattva will not misunderstand my young master's intentions again."
Although Pei Xiyuan's attitude was not like this before, Jian Ning was not someone who would not give in. Since he apologized in front of everyone, she just laughed it off.
But Meixiang said she was a country woman, so this country woman would have to teach her a lesson. She smiled and said, "You want to know why she married, she knows it herself, and most of the villagers present also know it."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone started talking about how Meixiang had tried to drug Ding Youtian, but Qiaofeng had tampered with the drug. The villagers didn't know the reason, but many people had witnessed Meixiang and Chen Lei's affair.
That night was the scar Meixiang hated to touch, the scar she didn't even want to think about. Now that it was exposed again, she blushed. She wanted to argue, but how could she win over the dozens of people present?
In shame and anger, she caught a glimpse of Chen Lei's arrogant and foolish smile, and she was so angry that she relied on the support of Pei Xiyuan and others. She rushed over and screamed like a madman, using her hands and feet to grab and kick Chen Lei, venting the tremendous hatred that had accumulated for several months, and beat herself until tears flowed.
Chen Lei was frightened by her momentum at the moment. He didn't know whether he forgot to fight back or was afraid. He was beaten by her and screamed for his father. It happened that Master Chen was taking a break after a class. When he heard his crying, he hurried over.
Master Chen was a scholar who knew etiquette. He ran over and saw that it was Meixiang who was beating his son. He stamped his foot, turned his back, and blurted out, "Well done!"
In the past, if he had seen Chen Lei beating Meixiang, he would have tried to dissuade him if he had been too harsh, but Chen Lei would have accused him of trying to cheat on his wife. If he hadn't been his own son, Master Chen would have wanted to beat him to death long ago!
The villagers knew that Chen Lei always beat Meixiang because they were a couple, so they didn't want to persuade her to do her family affairs. However, Pei Xiyuan stopped Meixiang.
"Old man." He stepped forward and bowed to Master Chen. "I want to take this girl away. Please name a price. In return, I can ask Madam Jian to examine your son. If she can cure him, he will have no problem finding a wife. Is it okay with you, old man?"
Master Chen sighed. Jian Ning had taken Chen Lei to see a doctor before. His central nervous system was severely damaged, and he did not receive effective treatment in time. The delay caused the nerves to be completely severed, and there was no possibility of recovery.
He waved his hand at Pei Xiyuan and said, "Take it away, take it away. I don't want a penny."
Master Chen was a man of conscience and a bit of pride. If Chen Lei wasn't mentally retarded, he would have looked down on Meixiang, his unruly daughter-in-law. Furthermore, even if they couldn't be bound together, he couldn't bear to watch Meixiang, so young, suffer the abuse of his foolish son.
It’s better to let her go and have some peace and quiet.
He did it, but Chen Lei didn't. Meixiang was like a toy to him, and he rolled on the ground crying loudly! A villager reminded Master Chen that he had no son but a grandson. Meixiang had been married to Chen Lei for several months and was afraid she might be pregnant.
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
"Wait a minute!" Master Chen looked at Pei Xiyuan and said, "It's not that I'm going back on my word, but I'm old and my thoughts are not complete. Please forgive me. You can leave, but you must ask the Fourth Master's family for approval. If she is not pregnant, let her go freely, and I won't charge a penny. But if she is pregnant with my Chen family's child, there is no reason to let her go."
He had said before that he would not take a penny if she was not pregnant, so Pei Xiyuan had nothing to say.
"Thank you from the Fourth Master's family." Master Chen bowed to Jian Ning.
Meixiang was shocked. She had taken the contraceptive soup not because she was worried about getting pregnant, but because she was afraid that Jian Ning would do something bad. She had just called her a country woman, so what if she insisted that she was pregnant?
"It's just a small favor, Master. You're welcome." Jian Ning smiled and waved to Mei Xiang, "Come here, let me take a look for you."
"Who asked you to look? Bah!" Meixiang spat at Jian Ning, "Uncle, she's the one who made me marry a fool. She has no good intentions. Even if I'm not pregnant, she would say I am. She's not a good person!"
"Is it possible that you are really pregnant and don't dare to let the Fourth Family see it?"
"That's right. We in the Fourth Family are trustworthy. If you didn't have something to hide, why would you not dare to let her take your pulse?"
"If you don't want the Fourth Master to see you, who do you want to see you? Do you want Doctor Xiao Yang and Qiao Feng to see you? They are all the Fourth Master's disciples. If they feel that you are pregnant, you will deny it. You probably already know that you are pregnant!"
The onlookers raised questions one after another.
"I trust her. Go there quickly and don't delay any longer to cause trouble." Pei Xiyuan and his group had a feud with Jian Ning and his group on the street. Later, when he was seriously injured, Jian Ning put aside the grudge and gave him a blood transfusion to save his life. He trusted Jian Ning's medical ethics.
Meixiang secretly groaned in her heart, feeling that it was hopeless to get away from Chen Lei in this life. Thinking that she had just beaten Chen Lei again, she was afraid that he would take mad revenge on her, and she even wanted to die.
"Hurry up and go over there!" Pei Xiyuan shouted again.
Meixiang had no choice but to walk towards Jian Ning. As Jian Ning felt her pulse, she glared at him with resentment, thinking that Jian Ning would do something bad. When she saw Jian Ning's lips curl slightly, and he let go of her hand and looked at Master Chen who was looking expectantly, her heart almost jumped into her throat.
"No." Jane Ning shook her head.
When Meixiang heard these two words come out of her mouth, she was stunned for a moment, then she covered her face and started crying.
Master Chen put his hands behind his back, ignored Chen Lei who was still rolling around and crying, and turned to go back to the classroom.
Pei Xiyuan glanced at Xiong Er and nodded at Meixiang, "Take her to pack her things."
Yuji stepped forward and called out to Meixiang, "Stop crying, go pack your bags and come with us."
"Where are you going?" Meixiang asked, wiping her tears.
Xiong Er looked at Pei Xiyuan, and Pei Xiyuan said, "Go to the capital and find your father."
Meixiang took Yuji there.
Seeing that everything was fine, the villagers picked up their hoes and went to the fields. Ding Youtian, Jian Ning and others were also about to leave, but Pei Xiyuan called them back.
"What else do you have to say?" Ding Youtian asked.
The bosses who were planning to leave also stopped.
