"You made Zhizhi's departure so uneasy back then, so now, don't mention her name again."
"Let her leave in peace."
Xiao Chengci didn't need to explain much to Pei Minxue: "Never mind."
"Wait a moment, I will take you to see her in person."
Pei Minxue became suspicious: "Who are you seeing?"
"See the one who stabbed me."
Pei Minxue nodded in agreement: "That works too."
The two had barely stepped out of the courtyard when Pei Minxue quickly summoned the physician from the manor.
The doctor rushed over. "Your Majesty, this is the doctor from my household."
"Having been raised in the mansion for many years, although he is not as talented as the imperial physicians, he is still quite capable."
Pei Minxue tentatively suggested, "How about we have the doctor examine His Majesty carefully?"
Xiao Chengci was actually amused by Pei Minxue's words.
No matter what he said, Pei Minxue just didn't believe him.
He's made up his mind; he's completely confused now.
"Pei Minxue, I am not yet thirty years old this year."
At this age, Xiao Chengci should never be described as senile.
Pei Minxue nodded in agreement, “Your Majesty is overthinking it. I was just worried that Your Majesty hasn’t rested well.”
"After the doctor examined me, I felt relieved."
Xiao Chengci could only extend his hand so that the doctor could take his pulse.
The doctor first greeted Xiao Chengci respectfully, and then took his pulse.
The doctor frowned and finally lowered his wrist.
"Your Majesty's pulse is strong and steady; there is nothing wrong with it."
Xiao Chengci looked at Pei Minxue, waiting for Pei Minxue's answer.
Pei Minxue pulled the doctor aside, "Is His Majesty really alright?"
"But he's talking nonsense in broad daylight!"
Your Majesty says Pei Zhi is still alive; what is this if not a lie?
The doctor speculated, "Perhaps His Majesty simply misspoke? Or perhaps His Majesty's eyesight is failing him?"
Pei Minxue waved his hand, signaling the doctor to leave.
"Your Majesty, let's go. I will accompany you to see my sister who has come back from the dead."
Pei Minxue said this with a hint of sarcasm.
Pei Minxue was convinced that His Majesty had either mistaken someone for someone else or had misunderstood the doctor's words.
Pei Zhi had been dead for several days, and her coffin hadn't been dug up yet. How could that not prove that Pei Zhi was dead?
Xiao Chengci's secret guards had already found out Pei Zhi's address, so Xiao Chengci wanted to go and take a look.
Xiao Chengci had no intention of alerting the enemy.
Today, given what happened between him and Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi probably won't be too happy to see him.
Pei Minxue asked curiously, "Qin Mansion, is this the residence of that official?"
Xiao Chengci replied, "I don't know."
Pei Minxue thought and thought, but he couldn't quite remember which high-ranking official in the capital had the surname Qin.
The two entered the mansion and soon heard a commotion coming from inside.
Qin Mian learned from Madam Wang about Pei Zhi's behavior at the baby's third-day celebration.
The banquet began, but Pei Zhi did not return.
Pei Zhi didn't return until the banquet was over.
Qin Mian originally planned to let Pei Zhi amaze everyone with her looks.
At the very least, those who had seen His Majesty's deceased confidante should be allowed to see this wild girl's face.
Who knew that after the girl followed Madam Wang into the backyard, she immediately ran away.
Madam Wang also complained about Pei Zhi to Qin Mian.
It's simply saying that Pei Zhi has no manners and is not fit for refined tastes.
He also subtly mocked Qin Mian, suggesting that Qin Mian should rein in his ulterior motives and stick to the right path.
The nobles in the capital weren't fools either.
Trying to sell your daughter for personal gain is a tactic that won't work.
Qin Mian, his face ashen, led Pei Zhi back to the manor.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Qin Mian made Pei Zhi kneel down.
Qin Mian originally wanted to set some rules for Pei Zhili.
In case this girl doesn't become arrogant and ignorant in the future.
Do you want Pei Zhi to kneel down?
Pei Zhi naturally couldn't.
Seeing Pei Zhi's stubbornness, Qin Mian had reached his limit of patience these past few days.
He brought such a troublemaker home; his study was gone, and his wife had also fallen out of love with him.
The eldest son also lost sight in one eye.
He was also forced to eat those filthy things.
Qin Mian endured all of this solely for the wealth and glory that Pei Zhi could bring him.
As it turned out, this girl was completely clueless, so Qin Mian decided to just give up and do nothing.
He immediately ordered his servants to bring the family rules, intending to teach Pei Zhi a good lesson.
Some wild girls just need to be beaten into submission.
Obeying her in everything might not necessarily lead to a good outcome.
When Pei Zhi heard Qin Mian say he was going to use family discipline, how could Pei Zhi possibly comply?
Pei Zhi immediately brandished her dagger and restrained Qin Mian.
Qin Mian was no longer willing to tolerate it, and Pei Zhi naturally wasn't willing to pretend anymore.
If it weren't for Qin Mian treating her like royalty these days...
Whatever she wanted, the Qin family would give her.
That's why Pei Zhi stayed at the Qin residence.
Now that Qin Mian actually wanted to hit her, Pei Zhi naturally turned against him.
Pei Zhi pressed a dagger against Qin Mian's neck. "Come with me, or you'll lose your life."
Qin Mian was furious: "How dare you! I am your own father! How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"My biological father?" Pei Zhi seemed to have heard a joke.
"How could someone as ugly as you give birth to such a beautiful daughter as me?"
Pei Zhi scoffed, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Qin Mian then realized, "So, you never believed what I said at all?"
