Inside the county government office.
Xue Wenju was confused. He didn't expect the Pei family to come to help Pei Yun with the betrothal gift. Didn't Pei Yun assassinate Pei Feng? What was going on?
"Master Xue, to be honest, Pei Yun is actually my eldest grandson. Since he is going to marry the princess, this marriage will naturally be arranged by my Pei family."
"Pei Yun is your grandson?"
Although Xue Wenju had some guesses that Pei Yun was a member of the Pei family, he was still shocked when it was confirmed by Xue Wenju himself.
"It's absolutely true. I brought my family tree with me, and Lord Xue has personally reviewed it."
Pei Yanshu handed over the Pei family tree as he spoke. Xue Wenju didn't even read it from the beginning, but turned directly to the back, where he saw Pei Yun's name.
But it seemed that the seal was written not long ago, which made his eyelids twitch. Could it be that the Pei family saw that Pei Yun had established a relationship with the royal palace, so they came to recognize him as a relative?
But Pei Yanshu sighed, "It is my Pei family that has let Pei Yun down. Back then, my Pei family took root in Ruifeng County, but we suffered misfortune. My two sons..."
Pei Yanshu did not hide it this time and acknowledged his two sons, Pei Yi and Pei Zhong.
Xue Wenju had heard about this matter, and when he heard Pei Yanshu admit it, he could understand his thoughts. After all, he was a noble family, so how could he be involved with bandits?
"I can't make the same mistake again. Since Pei Yun is no longer a bandit, he can return to his roots. My Pei family is going to hold a grand wedding for him and the princess."
Xue Wenju remained silent. He couldn't say anything about this matter as it was Pei family's family affair, but he still felt somewhat ashamed.
He refused to recognize Pei Yun when he was a bandit, but now that he is going to become the son-in-law of the royal palace, he came to recognize him.
Just at this moment, someone came to report that the princess had returned.
Xue Wenju, Pei Yanshu, Pei Li and Pei Feng stood up to greet them.
There were ten large boxes placed in the inner courtyard of the county government office. These were the betrothal gifts given by the Pei family. This time they were serious, with gold and silver jewelry, cloth and silk filling the boxes.
The betrothal gift to the princess cannot be shabby, so as not to let the princess look down on the Pei family. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. By then, the princess's dowry will definitely be richer than the betrothal gift.
Since they had given out so much betrothal gifts, the dowry would naturally belong to their Pei family.
When Pei Feng saw Xiao Zhiruo, he immediately reacted and felt hot in his heart. He thought that the princess could really cure his illness. He had already accepted his family's decision.
There was nothing he could do if he didn't accept it. He was just a junior and didn't have much say. Besides, the princess looked at Pei Yun with tenderness and affection during the welcoming banquet. Pei Feng knew that it might not be easy to separate the two.
In that case, let the princess be my sister-in-law.
As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than your sister-in-law. As long as the princess marries him, Pei Yun will be a thousand households, and it is impossible for him to be at home all the time. He must go out to fight, and he might die outside one day.
The princess was alone in her empty room, and if I tried to comfort her at that time, the fire would ignite as soon as dry wood was touched.
Even if Pei Yun didn't die, it didn't matter. Since he was away from home for a long time, there was a high probability that he would have an affair with the princess, which would make Pei Yun very angry.
Thinking of this, Pei Fengqing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and felt fortunate that the killer from Yanyu Tower was not very strong, otherwise if Pei Yun was really killed, the princess would not have come to Ruifeng County.
Pei Feng was afraid that he would never see the princess again in his life.
"Meet the princess."
Several people greeted each other. Xiao Zhiruo nodded slightly and glanced at the ten large boxes. Xue Wenju introduced Pei Yanshu. Pei Yanshu did not attend the welcoming banquet yesterday, so Xiao Zhiruo did not know him.
Pei Yanshu saw Xiao Zhiruo looking at the boxes and said with a smile, "Princess, these are the betrothal gifts carefully selected by my Pei family. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Zhiruo frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Master Pei, at the banquet yesterday, Pei Yun didn't seem to have much interaction with the Pei family. He never mentioned to me any relationship with the Pei family. Did you make a mistake?"
"That's right, that's right. Pei Yun is my eldest grandson. There are just some misunderstandings between us. We can talk it out."
"What misunderstanding?" Xiao Zhiruo asked.
She asked Pei Yun about his past, and Pei Yun said that he was an orphan. Now the Pei family suddenly jumped out, which made Xiao Zhiruo a little confused. Pei Yun’s surname is Pei. Could it be that he is a member of your Pei family?
Pei Yanshu cupped his hands and said, "My princess, please understand. It is true that our Pei family was not considerate enough in this matter. Because of some past events, Pei Yun had not recognized him, which made him misunderstand the Pei family. Now that he and my princess are in love, my Pei family will do its best to arrange his marriage to make up for what we owe him over the years."
Xiao Zhiruo was so smart that she probably figured out the reason behind this. She smiled lightly and said, "Master Pei, it's easy to say that you misunderstood. When Pei Yun was a bandit, did your Pei family have any intention of recognizing him? Now you can't wait to recognize him. The reason behind this is probably more than just the word 'owe', right?"
Pei Yanshu was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mood and sighed, "The princess is right. My Pei family is a noble family in the Hedong area. Although our branches have moved south, they are also noble families."
"Prejudice in people's hearts is as big as a mountain. Princess should know this. That's why it was difficult to recognize Pei Yun when he was a bandit. Now that he is no longer a bandit, it is natural to let him recognize his ancestors and return to his roots."
"How can a princess marry without a betrothal gift? Pei Yun can't bring anything good in the mountains, so the betrothal gift will be paid by my Pei family."
Pei Yanshu felt that what he said was correct. Even if Pei Yun became a thousand households, he was a bandit before. What good things could he have that could compare with his Pei family? The most important thing for the noble families to get married was the betrothal gift, not to mention the royal palace.
