Chapter 141 It’s True
"Really? Have you seen it?" The Duke's wife slowly reacted.
Then, Xu Qingyan told the Duke's wife about her physical condition in detail. Fearing that she would worry about her, she also showed her her prescription.
At this time, the Duke's wife completely put aside her worries and asked in confusion, "Why did these rumors about you suddenly spread out? Who spread them?"
Xu Qingyan heard this and sighed, "Mother, I'm afraid the person who spread these words wanted you to hear them. He wanted you to force the young master to take a concubine for the sake of having an heir, so that I and the young master would be at odds with each other."
"Asshole! This man is so vicious! Seeing that you and the young master are getting along well, he wants to use such a shady trick! Qingyan, don't worry, mother will never force the young master to take a concubine." After hearing this, the Duke's wife's face darkened and she cursed the person who spread the rumor.
Not long after, Pei Jingchuan returned from his job. He also learned about the rumors outside. He was worried that it would affect Xu Qingyan, so he hurried to Xu Qingyan as soon as he came back.
At this time, the Duke's wife had not left yet and was chatting with Xu Qingyan. Pei Jingchuan saw this and looked anxious. He thought his mother was making things difficult for Xu Qingyan because of the rumors.
So, after he entered, he immediately called his mother and said, "Mother, I will not take a concubine, so don't think about persuading Qingyan."
After hearing what Pei Jingchuan said, the Duke's wife was confused. She looked at Pei Jingchuan blankly and said, "What are you talking about? Even if you want to take a concubine, I won't let you! Qingyan is so good, why do you want to take a concubine!"
"Mother, I misunderstood. So...what are you doing here?" Pei Jingchuan's worried heart calmed down when he heard this, and he asked.
The Duke's wife looked at her son with some annoyance and said, "You... Mother, can't you come to see Qingyan when you have nothing to do? You used to be quite smart, why have you become a little stupid since you got married? The rumors outside are so ugly, mother is afraid that Qingyan will be angry after hearing them, so she just came to care about Qingyan's health. She has been taking medicine, don't you even know this?"
"What? Qingyan is taking medicine? Qingyan, what's wrong with you? Is it serious?" Pei Jingchuan's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly rose again.
Because every time Xu Qingyan took the medicine, she drank it after Pei Jingchuan left, so Pei Jingchuan never knew that she was drinking the medicine. When he suddenly heard it, he was naturally very worried.
Xu Qingyan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, my husband! It's just a little cold, and it's much better now. The rumors outside are actually true, but they were just made up by someone with ulterior motives."
Instantly, Pei Jingchuan felt a little distressed. This was actually true! That is to say, Qingyan did have a disease rooted in her childhood! He had never understood what it was like to grow up in the countryside, but it was conceivable how difficult it was for a girl to have such a disease. Originally, Qingyan was also considered a daughter of an official family. Going to the countryside was entirely a matter of Xu's father and stepmother Xu. Thinking of this, Pei Jingchuan hated them even more.
"Qingyan, don't worry about this matter. I will give you an explanation. I will find out the person who did the bad things behind the scenes and give him a good lesson!" Pei Jingchuan said in a deep voice.
Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [This lesson is probably useless! After all, Xu Qingyue is the heroine, an indestructible cockroach. No matter how she is taught, as long as she doesn't like it, she will still find ways to harm people. If she is taught a lesson again this time, the Duke will order Pei Jingyuan to divorce her. In this case, Xu Qingyue will probably turn evil! In the original book, after Xu Qingyue turned evil, she was very powerful! If Xu Qingyue turned evil in advance, I wonder if it would change the plot? Alas... Now the plot is getting more and more biased. It feels like the heroine Xu Qingyue is jumping around like a vicious female supporting role. ]
She couldn't say in front of the Duke's wife that it was Xu Qingyue who did it, for fear that others would think that she was at odds with Xu Qingyue and was deliberately making up stories about her.
However, Pei Jingchuan was stunned after hearing Xu Qingyan's voice. Was it Xu Qingyue who did it again this time? She had been demoted to a noble concubine, but she was still so dishonest! Indeed, what Qingyan said just now was right. If Xu Qingyue was punished again, she would be divorced. He didn't know if Xu Qingyue would become more powerful after she turned evil. Since Qingyan didn't want her to be divorced, he couldn't just pull her out like this, but he could punish her in other ways.
Therefore, Pei Jingchuan later investigated the ins and outs of the incident in detail and learned that Xu Qingyue did this because of her bad relationship with Pei Jingyuan and jealous of his and Qingyan's harmonious relationship. He even checked Qingyan's life in the countryside for so many years. After learning about it, he felt even more distressed for Xu Qingyan.
"Yuanwu, go and help me with a few things!" Pei Jingchuan's face turned cold and he whispered a few instructions to his servant.
Isn't it because Xu Qingyue's recent relationship with Pei Jingyuan is not good that she turned to bully Qingyan? Then, he would make things worse for the two of them. He turned around and ordered his subordinate Yuan Wu to do something that would affect Xu Qingyue and the others.
On the other hand, Xu Qingyue was very happy when she heard the rumors outside. She was glad that she handled it cleanly without leaving any evidence. However, what she didn't know was that there was no need for any evidence at all, as people already knew that she did it.
She also asked someone to inquire about the news, and learned that the Duke's wife had also asked Xu Qingyan, and that Xu Qingyan had started taking medicine, so she thought that the Duke's wife really believed the rumor.
"Bang!" Just when Xu Qingyue was happy, her door was suddenly kicked open by someone.
After hearing this, Xu Qingyue was stunned and looked towards the door in surprise, only to see Pei Jingyuan standing at the door with an angry look on his face.
"What are you crazy about?" Xu Qingyue asked angrily but confusedly.
Pei Jingyuan's face was gloomy. He looked at Xu Qingyue unkindly and said, "Are you so jealous? No matter what, Wen'er is still your cousin. How could you hire someone to hurt her? If I hadn't met her that day, she would have almost been..."
Pei Jingyuan couldn't say anything. The day before yesterday, when Zhao Shiwen was out shopping, she encountered gangsters who tried to destroy her innocence. Fortunately, he met them when he passed by and caught one of the gangsters. He asked someone to interrogate him, and the gangster confessed that he was instructed by someone, and found out that it was Xu Qingyue who arranged it.
"What do you mean? What happened to Zhao Shiwen? Was she insulted?" Xu Qingyue was confused at first, and then thought that Zhao Shiwen might have been abused by someone. She suddenly felt happy, but she didn't know that her attitude made Pei Jingyuan think that it was Xu Qingyue who did it.
"Evil woman!" Pei Jingyuan was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Xu Qingyue to the ground.
At this time, the burning pain on her face made Xu Qingyue react. She covered her face and said in disbelief: "How dare you hit me? Pei Jingyuan, you hit me for that little bitch? You don't think I asked someone to hurt her, do you? Although I hate her, it's not wrong, but I didn't do it. Why do you wrongly accuse me?"
