Chapter 94 Betting
Xu Qingyan was called over by the maid, and got into the carriage with the Duke's wife, who looked worried.
"Qingyan, Jinyu had a fight with someone in the academy. Come with me to take a look." Lady Houguo briefly explained the situation to Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan was a little surprised when she heard this and said, "Jin Yu had a fight with someone, what was it about?"
Although Pei Jinyu is a bit lively, she normally wouldn't fight with others!
The Duke's wife explained, "It is said that it is related to the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince's incident this time was too much. I guess she heard something and got into a conflict with others."
"So that's how it is! Mother, don't worry, let's go over and take a look first." Xu Qingyan nodded.
She had just learned about the Eighth Prince's affairs. Before she had time to ask Pei Jingchuan for the gossip, something happened to Pei Jinyu first.
The Duke's wife and Xu Qingyan soon arrived at the academy.
At this time, Pei Jinyu's hair was disheveled, there were some red scratches on her face, and she was standing aside angrily.
"Jinyu, what happened? Why are you fighting with others?" After the Duke's wife came in, she couldn't help but get angry when she saw Pei Jinyu.
When the Duke's wife was about to step forward and grab Pei Jinyu to teach her a lesson, she didn't expect Xu Qingyan's complaints to be heard behind her: "Oh! How can my mother-in-law be like this? She blames her own child right away. Isn't this giving face to the enemy? And it will hurt Jinyu's heart! Pei Jinyu is already such a big person, she will definitely not hit people for no reason. The Duke's wife should be considerate of the child at this time and ask about the situation first. 】
When the Duke's wife heard this, she suddenly stopped walking, as if she was instantly awakened by a scolding, and she suppressed the anger in her heart.
Xu Qingyan followed, took her arm, and gently advised: "Mother, calm down first! Ask Jinyu the reason. You will hurt Jinyu's heart. I believe she will not hit anyone for no reason."
At this time, the Duke's wife slowly calmed down and walked into the house steadily.
"Master, Jinyu, what happened?" The Duke's wife asked the Master politely.
The teacher bowed indifferently to the Duke's wife and replied, "Madam, your daughter had a fight with a classmate because of an argument, and now Madam Song wants to report it to the police."
Because Pei Jinyu and Song Xiaoer were both of high status, the teacher did not want to offend them, so he had to call both families over.
"Madam, your daughter beat my daughter's face like this. I will definitely report to the police and will definitely punish her! But now, for your sake, I will discuss it with you. Your daughter refuses to repent. As long as I can let her kneel down and kowtow to Xiao'er to admit her mistake and compensate for some mental damage, I will not pursue this matter anymore." As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Madam Song, who was dressed in jewels, spoke arrogantly.
Although Madam Song was only the wife of a second-rank official, she was not afraid of the wife of a duke because her mother-in-law was born a princess.
"You're dreaming! There is absolutely no way I will kneel down to Song Xiao'er. She is the one who spread rumors and slandered the Eighth Prince. She deserves to be beaten!" Pei Jinyu said indignantly before the Duke's wife could say anything.
The Duke's wife pulled Pei Jinyu over, looked at Madam Song with an unexpected expression, and said, "But your daughter also hit my daughter, why do you ask my daughter to apologize? Madam Song made such an excessive request when the matter has not been clarified yet. Isn't it a bit unreasonable and unreasonable?"
Madam Song sneered, "My daughter Xiao was just chatting with her classmates, and your daughter came over and beat her up. Isn't this your daughter's fault? Am I the one who can't tell right from wrong, or is Madam Guo partial and indulgent?"
"I believe Jinyu would not hit anyone for no reason. It must be that your daughter said something excessive that led Jinyu to take action. Jinyu, tell me why you hit her?" The Duke's wife said calmly.
At this time, Pei Jinyu saw that someone was backing her up, and she immediately explained, "Mother, I heard Song Xiao'er and the others making rumors and insulting the Eighth Prince, saying bad things about him, so I got angry and argued with them for a few sentences, but they refused to repent and continued to slander him."
"We are not slandering him. We are telling the truth. Now the Eighth Prince has been thrown into jail. How dare you do this but not let others say anything?" Song Xiao'er also retorted with her hands on her hips.
"Being put in jail doesn't mean he's convicted. This is still in the investigation stage. You've convicted the Eighth Prince here. Isn't that making irresponsible remarks about the prince and the royal family? Jin Yu deserves to beat you!" At this time, without waiting for the Duke's wife to speak, Xu Qingyan spoke first.
"Yes! The government hasn't convicted the Eighth Prince yet, but you guys have convicted him first. This is slandering the prince and the royal family! If you want to sue the authorities, then I will do the same!" Pei Jinyu was so angry before that he didn't think so much. When Xu Qingyan reminded him, he reacted instantly.
When the Duke's wife heard this, her eyes lit up and she thought: Yes! As long as the government has not come to a conclusion, the Eighth Prince cannot be considered a criminal. Their comments are just slandering the prince!
When Madam Song heard this, she couldn't help but feel empty in her heart and said, "This matter has already spread, and the evidence is all there. The Eighth Prince will definitely not escape punishment this time. You just wait and see!"
"Okay! Then wait. If the Eighth Prince is really wronged, then you have to kneel down and apologize to the Eighth Prince and Jin Yu." Xu Qingyan said confidently after hearing this.
Xu Qingyan thought: [Originally, the Eighth Prince was wrongly accused. You are on the Third Prince's pirate ship. This time, you are going to be badly tricked by the Third Prince! The Third Prince did something dirty this time and left a tail. I will remind my husband later and ask him to help the Eighth Prince! ]
Xu Qingyan just used the gifted ability again to investigate the whole incident of the Eighth Prince and learned the way to save the Eighth Prince.
Pei Jinyu, who was standing aside, was so excited after hearing Xu Qingyan's thoughts that he had no time to argue with Song Xiaoer.
Pei Jinyu immediately said: "I also believe that the Eighth Prince is innocent! Now, let's wait and see the conclusion of the Eighth Prince's case. If the government convicts the Eighth Prince in the end, then I will let you punish me, whatever you want!"
"Okay! Pei Jinyu, this is what you said. If the eighth prince is convicted, I want you to parade in the streets like a barking dog. Do you agree?" Song Xiaoer was also very excited when she heard Pei Jinyu's words.
Because she felt that the Eighth Prince would definitely not be able to make a comeback this time, that was why she was so confident.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but mutter, "Barking like a dog? And parading him in the streets? This Song Xiao'er is really vicious!"
Pei Jinyu glanced at the complacent Song Xiao'er and said, "Okay, that's fine! But if the Eighth Prince is cleared of all charges, you will also bark like a dog and parade through the streets, how about that?"
"Okay! Then let everyone and the Master be witnesses, and you are not allowed to cheat then!" Song Xiaoer agreed very readily.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly! I want to find my brother!" After agreeing to Song Xiaoer, Pei Jinyu immediately hugged Xu Qingyan's arm excitedly and said.
Now, she was going to take Xu Qingyan to see her eldest brother, provide him with clues, and ask him to save the Eighth Prince!
After Xu Qingyan heard about the bet between Song Xiao'er and Pei Jinyu, she couldn't help but feel curious and excited. Song Xiao'er had caused trouble for her many times, and she really wanted to see her parade through the streets barking like a dog.
So, after they came out of the academy, they went straight to find Pei Jingchuan.
