Chapter 165 Pei Jian had another fight with his love rival

Your Majesty has spoken clearly that a school should be built in Liuji Hall.

The Ministry of Revenue allocated money and the Ministry of Works carried out construction. Coincidentally, the people in charge of this project were Qin Lang and Wen Qingheng.

Qin Lang informed Pei Yan of the news immediately.

Pei Jian has been extremely busy these days. I don't know what he is doing, but he seems to be very restless. Every time I see him, he looks serious.

"My sister is really amazing."

Qin Lang sat at the desk, watching Pei Jian writing furiously, "She opened a teahouse and became famous. Even my mother invited her close friends to gather at 'Fu Sheng Ban He'."

"The idea of ​​teaching poor children to read was brought to your Majesty's attention, and he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to build schools."

"My sister is really excellent!"

Pei Jian paused for a moment before saying, "She is indeed very good."

There was a hint of melancholy in his tone.

"Then what are you still doing sitting here?"

Qin Lang was very upset. "Now the Duke of Fuguo is happily running to his sister's side, and Jinghe actually changed his name to call the Duke of Fuguo Big Brother Lu! You know Jinghe's temper. When he gets stubborn, even ten cows can't pull him back. This shows that Lu Wensheng is very capable."

Qin Lang was puzzled, "Have you thought it through and are not going to hang yourself on your sister's tree?"

Pei Jian looked at him expressionlessly, as if asking:

What nonsense are you talking about?

As for Qin Lang, he had seen the conflict between Pei Jian and Gu Ci, and for the sake of his sister, he had no bottom line.

Nowadays, it is contrary to the norm.

Pei Jian knew that Qin Lang was reminding him.

Sometimes he felt that he was walking on the edge of the devil and the saint.

In this life, he would never bless Nian Xi for being with another man. Even if a knife was put to his neck and he was buried in the ground after his death, he would not bless him.

But he wanted her to be happy.

They had been married for ten years, but his memory of what happened in the following years, including Nian Xi, was vague. When he recalled it now, he knew that she was not very happy.

He didn't think Lu Wensheng would make her happy.

Even though he resigned today, he still felt that he was the only one who loved her the most.

But the world does not revolve according to his will.

Nian Xi is even less so.

Is Pei Jian going to go over and tell her, I suspect Lu Wensheng is also involved in her death?

Will she believe it?

Will she be happy?

She likes the kid named Lu Huai so much.

Pei Jian secretly hoped that she would see Lu Wensheng's true face sooner, but on the other hand he was worried that she would be sad.

The things in her past life were too heavy, and she was living such a wonderful life now, so why drag her into it again.

Pei Jian now can no longer tell whether he feels more sorry for the past Nian Xi or likes the present Nian Xi more.

Many times, when he recalled the past, he could always see the lonely and disappointed Nian Xi in that large yet narrow courtyard.

Whenever this happened, he would feel sad.

He wanted very much to go back to the past, even if it was just to take a look at his beloved wife whom he had let down.

He is no longer the overbearing, powerful, and unreasonable Pei Jian who just came back from rebirth. He has soft spots, knots in his heart, and is very timid.

In fact, Pei Jian and Lu Wensheng had a fight a few days ago.

It was at Marquis Anjing’s banquet.

There were many officials at the table, and flattering words were heard from beginning to end.

Because he and Lu Wensheng were unwilling to ask entertainers to drink with them, most of the people at the table praised their noble character.

Somehow the conversation turned to Nian Xi.

At that time, Lu Wensheng and Prince Jing snatched a woman in public, and there were many people attending the banquet in the palace. The news about this matter had already spread like wildfire in the capital.

One of them said, "Otherwise, why is there an ancient poem that says 'If you can't be reborn as a boy, you can be reborn as a girl'? The Wen family has raised a good daughter. With the support of you, the Duke of Fuguo, the father and son of the Wen family will definitely have a bright future."

Lu Wensheng smiled faintly and did not comment.

"It's not something to be envied."

Another person followed suit and flattered, "I also have a daughter at my home, she is in her prime, but I am not lucky enough to catch the Duke's eye."

This immediately attracted a lot of ridicule, "With your looks, your daughter won't be any good. Your father would not look down on her!"

The whole room burst into laughter.

There are no taboos at the dinner table, especially since the man was teasing his own daughter.

This is a very common topic for them.

So when Lu Wensheng heard this, he just said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Only Pei Jian, with a frown on his face, stared dully at the person who was smiling the most.

"According to what you said, being favored by the Duke of Fuguo is something that is worth being grateful for?"

He had a stern expression and exuded authority.

The man felt his whole body go numb from being stared at. He glanced at Lu Wensheng, then at Pei Jian, his lips twitching as he stammered, not knowing what to say.

Everyone present was a shrewd person. Just by looking at the posture, they knew that Lord Pei and Duke Fuguo were not on good terms. They were all silent for a moment, looking at each other's noses and hearts, and remained silent.

Pei Jian suddenly curled his lips, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face, and he looked at Lu Wensheng with a sarcastic look:

"What does the Duke of Fuguo think?"

Lu Wensheng was still unhurried, gentle and solemn, with a clear and elegant voice, "It's my honor."

Pei Jian sneered and said lightly, "He does have some self-awareness."

The smile on Lu Wensheng's face disappeared.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Han Lin, the Marquis of Anjing, is used to livening up the atmosphere, which makes things a little tricky at this time.

Because he didn't know what had made Pei Jian unhappy.

Even if he guessed who Lord Pei's sweetheart was, he couldn't figure out why Pei Jian attacked in public.

Is it the strong jealousy of men?

Han Lin shook his head in annoyance.

Han Lin didn't know that it was because in the public's perception, Nianxi's family background was indeed too high for the Duke of Fuguo.

People say that "when one person succeeds, all his family members will benefit from it", so the Wen family must have benefited from Nian Xi.

But no one knew better than Pei Jian the pride of the Wen father and son and their love for Nian Xi.

In his last two years in his previous life, he held great power, and official promotion was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

But Wen's father only held a leisurely post in the Imperial College until his retirement, and Wen Qingheng did not even become an assistant minister in the Ministry of Works.

He tried to promote Wen Qingheng several times, but was rejected coldly each time.

Because of thinking of you.

Because Wen Qingheng, as her brother, felt that he was not treating Nianxi well, he refused to accept her kindness.

This is the Wen family.

The Wen family is loyal, righteous and stubborn.

If Nian Xi is interested in Lu Wensheng, it would be a great gift to Lu Wensheng.

Rather than his self-righteous arrogance.

The banquet ended in a bad mood.

then--

He beat Lu Wensheng.

Perhaps fighting each other is more appropriate.

Lu Wensheng was not as fancy as Qin Lang described.

"That's all your patience?"

"After all, you are still young. Please bear with me, Duke Fuguo."

Pei Jian's real age is actually a few years older than Lu Wensheng, but this did not affect his ability to mock Lu Wensheng's age and use honorifics.

Both sides were prominent figures, and the guards stood aside but did not dare to step forward.

But after all, he is a government official, and there is not even a trace of it on his face.

Pei Jian did not mention this matter to anyone else.

I believe Lu Wensheng feels the same way.

The reason is simple: it's embarrassing.

Qin Lang saw Pei Jian remained silent for a long time and thought he was busy with work. "Don't stay in the study all day. Come with me for a walk outside. It's spring again."

Unexpectedly, he stood up too much and knocked down a pile of letters on the table.

Qin Lang squatted down in a hurry to pick it up, but accidentally found a letter sent from the northern border.

Pei Jian was actually communicating with Gu Ci!

Qin Lang was immediately excited, his tongue was a little tied, "You, you can't beat Lu Wensheng, so you went to the northern border to seduce him? When will he come back?!"

Above my head, I heard Pei Jian's cold and ruthless voice:

"Is he worthy?"
