Chapter 20 If you don't have the ability, don't try to get close to me
In the teahouse's side room.
Nangong Hua looked at the woman opposite him and felt a little scared.
What? Is he in conflict with Nine?
The Ninth Prince made him work so hard, and in the end, he executed his entire family. When did the Ninth Prince's wife become involved with him?
He met her here, so he wouldn't be misunderstood by others, right?
What if someone spread rumors and got to Madam's ears, causing her to misunderstand him...
No, no, no, these Ninth Prince and his wife are no good! They want to mess up the relationship between them!
"Mingxu, it's really unfair for you to marry this money-grubbing woman... She talks about money all the time. She has a very narrow vision and doesn't have the demeanor of a mistress of the house at all." Pei Wanqing wiped away the non-existent tears with a handkerchief.
Nangong Hua didn't say anything, but he felt very disgusted with the words of the person in front of him.
Speaking of which, Pei Wanqing has been reborn, but she is still so sarcastic and mean.
Recently, he repeatedly recalled what Pei Wanqing had said before, and suddenly realized that the other party was trying to distance himself from him. She also hinted several times that if he married his wife, there would be no obstacles in her future.
If he hadn't been too lazy to pay attention to her, he wouldn't have noticed the loopholes in her words. He didn't expect that she was also reborn!
He specially sent someone to stake out the Pei family's servant who was doing shopping, and only then did he find out that she had been seriously ill a while ago.
If that was her opportunity for rebirth, does that mean the first thing she would do after rebirth is to distance herself from herself?
He didn't know where she got the illusion that he was deeply in love with her?
In his memory, at this time in his previous life, he had already realized that her brain wasn't quite right, so how could he possibly have any feelings for her...
Seeing the man opposite her remained silent, Pei Wanqing felt a little relieved.
He always protects me silently like this, never saying anything, but actually loves me deeply.
"Mingxu, you don't know yet, do you? Pu forced the noble ladies to donate their jewelry at the flower viewing banquet, which offended many families..."
"I was ill a few days ago and was unable to attend the banquet hosted by the old lady of the Duke of Anguo. It is said that Pu was also disrespectful to the ladies that day, bringing shame to the Duke of Gongning's mansion. She is truly unfit to be the mistress of the household."
Pei Wanqing talked for a long time, and when she saw that his face looked a little ugly, she was secretly happy.
The interests of the family are the most important. Pu came from a small family and naturally did not understand these things.
As expected, no man wants to marry a burden. Now let’s see how Pu can still show off her power!
Nangong Hua was indeed very unhappy at this time.
But he would not blame his wife, but would be angry at Pei Wanqing.
No matter how bad his wife is, it is not Pei Wanqing's turn to say anything!
Pei Wanqing couldn't stop complaining, feeling like she had accumulated all the grievances of two lifetimes. "Not only that, she even used her status as the eldest princess to force me to write an article praising her..."
"Miss Pei, you and I are not related in any way, so please don't call me by my given name." Nangong Hua frowned, and his voice was cold.
"Huh?" Pei Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then she realized that he was thinking about her reputation. She was touched and nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
"Mingxu... Lord Gongning, Lord, please don't blame Pu too much. She might just be trying to save face."
Nangong Hua was too lazy to talk to her, "Miss Pei, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."
He saw that the woman was not in a clear mind.
The lady is clearly married to him now, not to the Ninth Prince.
She is an unmarried rich girl, yet she is meddling in other people's family affairs. She is so gossipy that she doesn't act like a lady at all!
Seeing him leave in a hurry, Pei Wanqing felt a sense of disappointment, but also a secret joy.
She knew that he was sad when he saw her.
She also felt a little guilty, because she was the one who let him down.
However, she would eventually become the Ninth Prince's consort.
If there is an afterlife...
…
On the way back home, Nangong Hua felt a little worried.
Pei Wanqing said that Madam has offended many people... What should we do if they do something bad to Madam?
He was now just an obscure Earl of Gongning. Born a playboy, without any foundation or backing, he was probably unable to protect her completely.
But he couldn't let his wife suffer just because he wanted to keep a low profile!
He knew very well in his heart that if his wife had not married him, she would probably be the Ninth Prince's concubine now.
No matter how useless the Ninth Prince is, he is still a prince. She is naturally not afraid if she offends these people.
Since the lady has married him, he should pave the way for her and clean up the mess. He can't let the lady suffer a loss just by following him.
"Qing Xu, find someone to find out who the noble ladies are who donated jewelry to the Imperial Concubine's flower viewing banquet."
Having made up his mind, Nangong Hua decided to investigate the list of people who needed to be dealt with first.
In his previous life, his bravery in the battles for the Ninth Prince and his gathering of intelligence hadn't been entirely without merit. Now, it had come in handy!
The lady can do whatever she wants, and he will naturally take care of the mess behind her.
…
After filing a complaint in front of Earl Gong Ning, Pei Wanqing felt refreshed.
Recently, she saw that Pu Qiongzhi's business was booming, and she was really anxious and angry!
In her previous life, she was favored by the Ninth Prince, and now she is so comfortable and happy after marrying Mingxu. Why can that bitch Pu live so well?
Now, Mingxu still has feelings for her, and he is obviously angry after hearing what she said. He will definitely make Pu Shi suffer!
After dealing with Pu Qiongzhi, Pei Wanqing could finally focus on distributing porridge.
These unruly people were stupid and superficial. When they saw her giving out porridge, they kept thanking her all day long and treated her as a savior!
Even if Pu Qiongzhi spent some money, what would it matter? Didn't she snatch away the good reputation in the end?
Thinking of this, Pei Wanqing's smile deepened a little, "Let's go, it's time to distribute porridge."
But she didn't expect that when people are hungry, they often lose their minds.
After a few days of distributing porridge, the water became thinner and thinner.
It was minced meat porridge at first, but now it has turned into rice soup.
Now, this rice soup can't fill my stomach at all, it's just fooling my stomach!
Some of the refugees who were more alert secretly paid attention to the vehicles that delivered rice every day and found that the amount of rice delivered did not match what was stated in the initial manifesto.
It would have been fine if God hadn't given them a way to survive, but the relief grain allocated by the imperial court also went into the pockets of local officials.
Now that they have arrived in the capital, they finally get a meal from an honorable person, but it is all taken away by those idlers who live off the land and eat for free... It is simply a threat to their lives!
If this bastard didn't want to help them in the first place, he should just ignore them. They could also ask the emperor and the officials in the capital for an explanation!
On that day, the victims started a riot... With one person taking the lead, the rest of the group got out of control.
The scene was in chaos, and Pei Wanqing was so frightened that she screamed and ran away. She didn't dare to say a word when her jewelry was stolen on the way...
