Chapter 170 The Rebellious Girl
Pei Minru was silent for a moment, then replied, "Dad, you taught us to finish what we start."
"Since I've opened the academy, I can't give up halfway."
"If you are worried that my unruly behavior will affect the sisters in the clan, why not allow me to establish a female household? I can live on my own."
“Nonsense!”
Pei Linghuai's face darkened.
"It's not like the mansion can't accommodate you. Are you going to follow those desperate widows and start your own household? You're going to ruin the thousand-year reputation of the Pei family. Let's not talk about the issue of women's households anymore."
Pei Yunzhan never expected that his sister would have such a rebellious idea.
"Others are trying every possible way to get close to the Pei family, but you're leaving your position as the eldest daughter of the Pei family behind and wanting to be alone?"
Pei Minru laughed at herself: "If being the eldest daughter of the Pei family means being confined to the inner chambers, never leaving the house, I might as well be a lonely person."
"Brother, if you want to take the imperial examination, then take it. If you want to travel around the world, then travel around the world. How could you possibly understand what it's like for us girls to live by the moral principles of women?"
Pei Yunzhan was speechless.
Pei Linghuai said with a cold face, "Have you learned all the rules of a woman in vain? A woman should be chaste and docile, and behave in a gentle and submissive manner. How can you imitate those rural women and show your face in public?"
"Besides, you can't even guarantee your own safety now. Why don't you stay in the mansion and go out to bring disaster upon yourself?"
Pei Minru lowered his eyes.
She had expected this outcome before she came to see her father, but she still wanted to give it a try.
Unfortunately, the result was as she expected.
"Dad, I understand."
She said lightly.
"My daughter is back in the hospital."
Pei Linghuai looked at her sadly departing back, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"It's all your fault!" He glared at Pei Yunzhan, "If you hadn't acted recklessly and led your sister astray, would she be so rebellious now?"
Pei Yunzhan: “…”
Pei Minru failed to obtain the consent of his father and brother, but he did not give up.
After she returned to the courtyard, she said to her maid Wenxin, "I'm going back to the academy tomorrow. Please pack your luggage."
Wen Xin was stunned: "Didn't the mansion forbid you from leaving?"
"Let's go out quietly."
Pei Minrudao.
"There's a crooked tree next to the wall in the side yard. We can make some ropes out of old clothes and climb the tree over the wall to get out of the house."
Wenxin: (ω)
You even know clearly that there is a crooked tree in the side yard. How long have you been planning this?
Pei Minru did what he said. He sent all the maids and old women back to their rooms to sleep at night, leaving only Wenxin to keep watch.
When everything was quiet, she got up, dressed simply, put on her bag, and tiptoed out of the yard with Wenxin and headed straight for the side yard.
After successfully climbing over the wall, Wen Xin quietly asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"
Pei Minru said, "Go to Ji's house."
The Ji Mansion and the Pei Family are only a few hundred meters apart and can be reached on foot.
Because she was worried that Zhao Bixiang's men were secretly watching the Pei Mansion, she and Wen Xin almost jogged all the way to the Ji Mansion.
When she arrived at Ji's house and knocked on the door, it opened. Then she realized that Feng Qingsui might have guessed that she had left the house without permission and had secretly ordered someone to watch over her in the morning.
Then the servant silently led her to Feng Qingsui's yard and confirmed her guess.
"Madam is truly as foresighted as a god."
After meeting Feng Qingsui, she sighed.
"I believe we will be able to succeed immediately this time."
Feng Qingsui chuckled: "Given the Pei family's tradition, I'm sure they won't allow you to go out at this time. If you insist on going back to the academy, you can only sneak out of the house."
Pei Minru sighed.
"I left a letter. If my father finds out, he'll be furious."
Feng Qingsui: "Will he not send someone to take you back?"
Pei Minru smiled slightly: "I threatened in the letter that if you dare to arrest me and take me back, I will have people spread the Pei family's secrets."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
I'm afraid the only one who would use the clan's secrets to threaten his father is Pei Minru.
"Rest first. I'll take you back to the academy tomorrow."
Pei Min is as good as the saying goes.
Feng Qingsui arranged for her to rest in a side courtyard, and after breakfast the next day, he sent her to Qingquan Town.
When the servant of Pei Mansion woke up, he found that his young lady was not in the yard. He hurriedly took the letter she left and reported it to his wife.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie almost fainted.
"Is she going to die?"
Knowing that someone was waiting outside to kidnap her, she still had to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night. It was simply...
After Pei Linghuai learned about this, he almost broke his favorite wolf hair brush in his hand.
"Rebellious girl!"
She completely ruined the reputation of the Pei family's daughter.
Does she still remember that she was once the Crown Princess and was only one step away from becoming the mother of the country?
He even threatened him with the clan's secrets.
It's really the opposite of Tiangang.
He called Pei Yunzhan.
"Go and bring your sister back home!"
Pei Yunzhan sighed softly: "Dad, it's better to keep her out than to block her. Let the mansion arrange a few guards to go to Qingquan Academy to watch her. Otherwise, even if we tie her up and bring her back to the mansion, she will still escape."
"You still dare to run?!" Pei Linghuai glared, "Break her legs and see how she can run away."
Pei Yunzhan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
My father was just talking. If he really wanted to beat me, he would have sent someone to the academy long ago.
After venting his anger, Pei Linghuai said to his second son, "You're fine anyway. I'll leave your sister's safety to you."
Pei Yunzhan nodded: "Okay. I will take people to Qingquan Town."
Feng Qingsui did not stay in Qingquan Town.
After making the arrangements, he left.
After all, Zhao Bixiang had suffered a loss at her hands. If she had stayed on purpose, Pei Minru would not have been able to make a hook.
After she returned home, she made cypress-scented incense pills for Ji Changqing.
After Ji Changqing finished his bath, he put the scented pills into the scent bag Feng Qingsui had given him before and went to court.
Shangguan Mu saw it when he was leaving the palace and jokingly said, "Everyone gets a festival gift, but why does our Lord Ji treat it like a treasure and wear it every day?"
Ji Changqing glanced at him lightly: "Do you have a cold?"
Shangguan Mu: “???”
"Otherwise, how come you can't even smell it?"
Ji Changqing said lightly.
"The scented balls in my sachet are cypress scented, and they smell different from the scented balls in other people's sachets."
Shangguan Mu: “…”
Ji Changqing added, "But even if you can smell that I have cypress fragrance, you may not know that it is unique. After all, you are a million miles away from others and cannot smell the scent of the sachet she wears."
Shangguan Mu: (｀⌒′メ)
No one can stop him!
He wants to fight with this murderous and heartbreaking peacock!
Ji Changqing said slowly, "Instead of mocking me, why don't you think about how to protect others? I have to go back to the academy to teach."
Shangguan Mu's anger suddenly disappeared.
"I sent people to follow, and Pei Er also brought people over."
Ji Changqing frowned slightly.
“So many people…”
Will Zhao Bixiang’s men dare not take action?
How is that possible?
Ying Shiba, who received the order from his master, has been keeping an eye on Pei Minru since he returned to Qingquan Academy with several of his brothers.
