Chapter 93 Fight
Xu Qingyan blinked her clear eyes, looked at Pei Jingchuan with hope and thought: [I have reminded you so clearly. A smart man like my husband should be able to find the problem as long as he studies this lantern carefully! I must let my husband know how cruel and brutal the Third Prince is. It would be best if my husband could be smarter and find evidence to catch this demon. Otherwise, look at the lanterns in the Third Prince's mansion, how many women have been victimized! If the Third Prince doesn't fall, I don't know how many women will be victimized in the future! ]
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingchuan was also extremely angry at the Third Prince's perversion. He immediately took the lantern, looked at it deeply for a few seconds, reached out to touch it, and instantly felt goose bumps all over his body.
Although Pei Jingchuan worked in the Ministry of Personnel, he had been sharp and intelligent since childhood. As soon as he touched it, he could immediately feel that this lantern was not made of ordinary lantern paper.
"What you said makes some sense. This lantern is indeed different from ordinary lanterns. It really looks like it is made of human skin." Pei Jingchuan nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan immediately agreed, "Yes! Do you think this is really a human skin lantern? When I was a kid, I heard in that storybook that some perverts would use human skin to make lanterns."
"This is possible. If Qingyan is interested, why not give this lantern to me and I will send someone to study it carefully." Pei Jingchuan said to Xu Qingyan.
"Okay! Then my husband, you must investigate carefully. If this is really made of human skin, it would be too scary. And the third prince, he is really..." Xu Qingyan quickly pushed the lantern into Pei Jingchuan's arms.
Xu Qingyan saw that her goal had been achieved, so she naturally didn't dare to hold this creepy lantern anymore.
——The Third Prince’s Mansion——
After Pei Jingchuan and the others left, the Third Prince's smiling face suddenly darkened.
The Third Prince turned his head and looked at the Third Prince's wife coldly, saying: "If you see the Crown Prince's wife again in the future, you are not allowed to think of ways to harm her for the time being. If you are dissatisfied with anything, wait until I complete my great cause, and then she will be at your disposal."
The Third Prince's wife was very dissatisfied and said aggrievedly: "My husband, I will not pay attention to her anymore."
"No! You still have to get closer to her and please her in the future. Now, I see that Pei Jingchuan cares a lot about this woman, and this woman is the key for me to break through Pei Jingchuan. Pei Jingchuan works in the Ministry of Personnel, and the current Minister of Personnel is already old and can only hold on for another half a year at most. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely become the Minister of Personnel. If Pei Jingchuan can be won over, then in the future, won't the court be full of supporters of this prince? As the prince's consort, you have to consider me!" The third prince said to the third prince's wife with a stern face.
The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials. As long as he can get Pei Jingchuan to stand on his side, he can place all his people in the court. By then, the court will be full of his supporters. Will he still care about the Sixth Prince? As long as the Crown Prince is deposed and his father dies, he will be the best heir to the throne.
At this time, even if the Third Prince's wife was unwilling, she slowly understood what the Third Prince said and decided to endure it for the time being. As long as the Third Prince could ascend to the throne in the future, she would be able to get back the humiliation she endured now in some way. So she nodded and agreed.
——Fuyu Mountain——
After Pei Jinyu stayed in the Duke's Mansion for a while, she returned to the girls' school to attend classes.
Their school was located in Fuyu Mountain, not far from the capital. All the students there were noble ladies from the capital. Therefore, even when they were in school, they could learn about some new things happening in the capital.
On this day, Pei Jinyu and a good friend of a noble lady had just walked into the school from outside, and they heard the female students in the school gathered together and talked.
Pei Jinyu herself was a gossipy person, so naturally she wanted to join in the fun, and so she went over with great interest.
"Have you heard that when the Eighth Prince was in his fiefdom, his private life was very chaotic and he bullied men and women. Now someone has reported him to the capital! It was the Third Prince who was righteous and protected the brother and sister."
"I heard from my mother that the woman was already showing signs of being pregnant for four or five months, and the Eighth Prince's servant almost destroyed her body! Fortunately, the Third Prince saw her and saved her for the sake of justice."
"I heard that the emperor is furious and the Eighth Prince has been arrested, and the evidence is complete. I think the Eighth Prince is doomed this time!"
"Hey... the Eighth Prince is quite good-looking. I never expected that he would be such a scum!"
"Yes! Originally, my mother wanted me to have more contact with the Eighth Prince, but now that I know he is such a disgusting person, I don't want to do that anymore!"
A group of women gathered together and chattered. When Pei Jinyu heard the name of the Eighth Prince, her head exploded instantly.
Pei Jinyu's first reaction after hearing this was, how is this possible! The Eighth Prince, he is not that kind of person at all! He must have been framed!
When Pei Jinyu heard the group of women talking bad about the Eighth Prince, she couldn't help it anymore. She stepped forward and grabbed a woman's hair and said, "How dare you talk about the prince here! And the Eighth Prince is definitely not that kind of person. You are all slandering him!"
The woman cried out in pain after being pulled like this, and said in a very unconvinced manner: "This is all true, everyone knows it! And why did you pull my hair, Pei Jinyu, let go!"
"Yes! Pei Jinyu, why are you going crazy here? Now, everyone knows that the Eighth Prince is a beast, why are you still speaking for him?"
"Are you... deceived by the face of the Eighth Prince? Pei Jinyu, you are too superficial. You are defending a beastly prince like this!"
The women next to them started laughing at Pei Jinyu, and some even came up and pushed Pei Jinyu.
In particular, Song Xiaoer, who had a conflict with Pei Jinyu at the banquet last time, brought other noble ladies to mock her this time.
Song Xiaoer's father was a second-rank official, and her grandmother was born a princess. Her family had already secretly sided with the Third Prince, so naturally they wanted to suppress the Eighth Prince this time.
When Pei Jinyu saw Song Xiao'er, she angrily scolded him, "Song Xiao'er, stop talking nonsense. If you take the lead in spreading rumors here, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
As he spoke, Pei Jinyu rushed towards Song Xiaoer. Soon, the school was in chaos.
——Guogong Mansion——
The servant hurriedly reported to the Duke's wife: "It's bad! Madam, the eldest daughter got into a fight with someone in the academy and got injured. Please go and take a look!"
"What? Jin Yu actually fought with someone?" The Duke's wife stood up in shock after hearing this.
"Yes, the eldest lady almost disfigured the face of Lord Song's daughter Song Xiao'er. Madam Song has already gone to the academy to support her daughter and even said she would report the matter to the police!" the servant said hurriedly.
When the Duke's wife heard this, her face suddenly showed anxiety. She didn't even have time to pack up and was about to leave the house.
However, when the Duke's wife was halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and told the maid beside her, "Go and call the Crown Prince's wife over and ask her to accompany me."
The Duke's wife thought: Qingyan knows so much, maybe she can help!
