As Xiao Cheng spoke, he took Pei Yun's hand and walked into the study, personally poured him tea, and his attitude was so friendly that Pei Yun felt a little flattered.
The last time he came, the prince didn't treat him like this. Pei Yun was a little uncomfortable with such a close attitude.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Cheng changed the subject: "Pei Yun, a few days ago, I received a very interesting letter."
Pei Yun asked: "What letter?"
Xiao Cheng took out the letter from the side and placed it on the table, tapping it with his fingertips. "It was written by the Ruifeng Pei family. I didn't expect that you are a branch of the Hedong Pei family. You come from a noble family. No wonder you are so smart."
"Do you know what the Pei family wrote in the letter?"
Pei Yun became alert. The Pei family was actually trying to put up trouble with the prince. He knew without even reading the letter that it was saying bad things about him.
Seeing that Pei Yun's expression did not change much, Xiao Cheng continued, "The letter said that you were disloyal and unfilial, and colluded with the Nanman. It was very convincing, and there was even evidence of your correspondence with the Nanman..."
Xiao Cheng said as he handed the letter to Pei Yun. Pei Yun took it out and saw two letters inside. One was written by Pei Li, and the other was a correspondence with Nanman that imitated his handwriting.
Pei Yun's face showed anger. "Your Majesty, this is slander!"
Xiao Cheng took the letter back and said with a smile: "Don't be excited. I naturally believe you, otherwise I would not have betrothed my daughter to you. From now on, we will be a family." After that, he burned the letter.
Pei Yun heard the underlying meaning, which was to ask him to show his loyalty.
He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Pei Yun will definitely not disappoint the prince."
"Okay, okay, with your help, I will be even more powerful." Then he changed the subject and said, "Zhiruo has been waiting for you so long. Now that you are here, let's get married tomorrow."
"It's all up to the prince."
Not long after, Pei Yun came out of the study, his eyes flickering slightly. Xiao Cheng was trying to tie him down with the marriage, and burning the letter was just to make him grateful.
The prince did not look as kind as he appeared, and Pei Yun could not help but become more cautious.
He will not become a gun in someone else's hand. I want Xiao Zhiruo, but it may not be so easy to use her to tie me down.
And the Pei family actually forged a letter. It seems that the lesson we have taught them is not enough.
