When Pei Wenxuan said this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Rong sat aside, fanning herself with a fan, and watched the excitement.

After a while, Pei Xuanqing said slowly: "The property left by your father is huge. Although you are an adult, you are still a child after all. You have no experience in managing these properties. It is better to leave it to your aunt to handle it."

"Grandfather, you are joking," Pei Wenxuan laughed. "Wenxuan is now an official in the court and has a family. He is an adult after all, and there is no reason for the elders to worry about him. To put it another way, Wenxuan's mother is still alive. Even if Wenxuan cannot manage the property left by his father, it should be managed by his mother. He dare not trouble other elders to worry about it."

"Then ask your mother." Pei Xuanqing listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Wenshi and said, "Wenshi, you asked someone in your family to help take care of the industry before, and the clan invited Lixian to help. You have to explain it clearly to Wenxuan to avoid misunderstanding."

When Wen was named, Pei Wenxuan looked at her. Wen forced herself to stand up and said respectfully, "Father-in-law is right. I have already told Wenxuan and she knows it clearly. But Wenxuan has grown up and is now old enough to take charge. If Second Uncle continues to take charge, there will be a rift."

Before Wen left, Li Rong had someone teach her how to speak. Everyone was staring at her, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes. Although she spoke haltingly, she finally spoke clearly.

As soon as she said this, everyone's expression changed.

Pei Liwen sneered, "Sister-in-law's stay at the princess's mansion these few days was not in vain. She has become suspicious of the people at home so quickly. Second brother, don't worry about it. Your kindness has been taken for granted. Just think of it as feeding two ungrateful wolves."

"Third Uncle..." After hearing what Pei Liwen said, Wen hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, "We also..."

"My mother has the same idea as me." Pei Wenxuan saw that Wen was about to explain, so he interrupted her and looked at Pei Xuanqing and said, "Why don't I come over tomorrow and take inventory of the properties under my name? What do you think, grandfather?"

Pei Xuanqing was silent. An elder beside him coughed and said slowly, "Lizhi is the most promising child in our Pei family. When he was young, our entire family watched him grow up. His family also helped him along the way in the officialdom. Although the things he left behind are indeed Wenxuan's, his family can't just watch them disappear. Wenxuan is too aggressive in doing things now. Look at what has happened recently. How many noble families are dissatisfied with him. I think the child should be polished a little more."

As soon as the elder spoke, everyone agreed. Li Rong sat on the side drinking tea, and glanced at Pei Wenxuan with a smile. Pei Wenxuan stood calmly in the hall, smiling like the spring breeze in March, without any malice. Then he slowly said, "My father was about my age when he first came to Huajing. At that time, the emperor was still the prince, and the imperial examination had not yet been established. My father moved around in Huajing and finally became the prince's confidant, and then he brought the Pei family to heaven. But, how could my father, a humble family, become the prince's confidant?"

Pei Wenxuan asked with a smile. No one said anything. Pei Wenxuan brushed his sleeves, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Many things are known to everyone. Where the Pei family came from is probably also known to the elders. Why did your majesty establish the Inspection Office? The elders said that Wenxuan was reckless and had a bad reputation among the aristocratic families. In order to make friends with the aristocratic families, they beat Wenxuan." Pei Wenxuan laughed and looked around. "Why not go to the palace and let your majesty judge?"

"So many court officials have been kneeling in the study for such a long time, but His Majesty has refused to meet them, just to save face. Elders, please do not let His Majesty down."

No one said anything. They had thought about Pei Wenxuan's words. They had clearly understood it when Li Rong scolded them last time. But firstly, the money left by Pei Lizhi was indeed abundant. Secondly, Pei Lixian was in a high position and it was not easy to offend him. So everyone could only speak for Pei Lixian.

But now Pei Wenxuan's words were full of threats, and the emperor's attitude was very clear. He was probably dissatisfied with the Pei family, but Pei Lixian was in a high position after all, so he had to give them some face. If the Wen family insisted on their death, it would be fine, at least it was an internal matter of the Pei family, and the emperor could not intervene here. But now the Wen family had been instigated by Pei Wenxuan to rebel, and if they really made trouble to the emperor, they would not end well.

Pei Wenxuan softened his tone when he saw everyone start to waver. "Yesterday, Wenxuan could have confronted Third Uncle in front of Yu's study, but Wenxuan thought that he was a member of the Pei family after all, and that family members should help each other. If they can sort out trivial matters among themselves, they should not let outsiders laugh at them."

"Although Wenxuan is not very promising now, and not as powerful as my father, he also has some power in the history platform. In the future, he will need the help of all clansmen in the officialdom. Today, Your Highness and I came here not because we really want to cause any conflicts with our family. All the elders are here, so I will make it clear that I am a member of the Pei family. I was in the past and I will be in the future. Now that I am married to Your Highness Pingle, the Pei family is inseparable from Your Highness no matter what. The elders are trying to please the aristocratic families now, but the aristocratic families may not look down on us. It is better for us to follow Your Majesty and the princess wholeheartedly. In the future, we will work together, so why should we be afraid of the threats from other aristocratic families?"

Pei Wenxuan's words were soothing, meaning that he now had a backer, was capable, and had a bright future, and he called on everyone to follow him.

First there was the stick and then there was the sweet date. Everyone began to think about it. Pei Xuanqing hesitated for a while and finally said, "You are a good child. We misunderstood you before. Grandfather is very pleased that you have such insight. Lixian," Pei Xuanqing looked at Pei Lixian and said tentatively, "The child is not young anymore. Why don't you do what he says?"

Everyone looked at Pei Lixian. Although no one said anything, their eyes showed that they hoped that Pei Lixian would agree.

Pei Lixian sighed and said, "When I first took over this matter, I told my eldest sister-in-law that I was afraid there would still be conflicts in the future. My eldest sister-in-law didn't believe me and kept telling me that Wenxuan was not that kind of child. Now it seems..."

Pei Lixian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it."

This was a veiled attack that made Pei Wenxuan and his mother seem ungrateful. Pei Wenxuan didn't care much. None of his uncles were easy to deal with, and he was used to it. But before he opened his mouth, he heard a trembling voice from the side: "You...how can you say that?"

Everyone looked over in surprise, but it was Wen who stood up. She looked at Pei Lixian, and she didn't know where her usually gentle personality got the courage from. She tried to scold him, "It was you who persuaded me at the beginning, saying that Wenxuan was still young and had to return to his hometown to observe mourning. I was in poor health and was afraid of being cheated, so you asked me to transfer the property to your wife to manage. If Wenxuan comes back in the future, you can teach him how to manage money and give him the money. Now that he is back, I can't ask you for money. Now that I have finally lost face and asked for it, you still don't want to pay me back? You... why are you so shameless?"

Wen spoke haltingly and in a very plain manner. When Li Rong heard Wen's direct curse, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Everyone looked over, and Li Rong quickly said, "Sorry, I was distracted. Just ignore me and continue."

Pei Wenxuan didn't know what she was laughing at. He looked at her helplessly, coughed and said, "Second Uncle, I know you mean well, and I have no doubts. But I really need money to do things now. If you keep holding it like this, it won't be good, right?"

Pei Lixian's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by Wen. Before he could say anything, he heard Wen say, "Well, you have been lying to me. I trusted you so much, but you lied to me like this? Tell me, how many bad things have you done to my son? I treat you as my own brother, how can you be so cruel?"

Wen's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Pei Lixian said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, it's not what you think. Please listen to my explanation..."

"Give me back the money." Wen was furious and started to make a scene like a street shrew. She shouted, "That's my son's money! You deceived me, I'm sorry Wen Xuan. If you don't give me back the money today, I... I... I'll run my head into you and kill you!"

Li Rong listened to what Wen said. She couldn't tell whether Wen meant to say "kill with a head hit" by mistake or whether she really wanted to kill Pei Lixian with herself.

She used to think that Wen was weak and annoying, but today, she actually found her to be quite cute.

Pei Wenxuan saw that Wen's nonsense had a miraculous effect, so he simply kept silent and watched Wen and Pei Lixian quarrel.

Wen was a person who couldn't reason with others. Now she was crying and making a fuss, and Pei Lixian was helpless. Wen recounted all the assurances and promises Pei Lixian had given her in the past, and when she talked about Pei Lizhi's help and care for Pei Lixian in the past, she was so moved that she couldn't help but rush over.

The scene became chaotic for a moment, and everyone rushed forward, some pulling and some persuading, it was extremely lively.

After much difficulty, Wen and Pei Lixian were pulled apart. Wen had his hair crown torn off and his face was scratched. He was held by someone and looked at Wen, who was crying bitterly while being supported by Pei Wenxuan. He said angrily, "Everything should be done step by step. Sister-in-law, you are too unreasonable. It's not that I don't want to give the money, but Wenxuan is busy with government affairs now. If I give it to him, will he be able to manage it? You won't be able to manage it even if I give it to you! I let my wife continue to manage it, and Wenxuan will check the accounts and manage things. When Wenxuan is not busy in the future, he will slowly take over. Why are you so ignorant of the good people?!"

"I don't care!" Wen cried, "You are bullying us orphans and widows, and you want to kill Wen Xuan. I don't care, you pay me back, you pay me back!"

Wen kept talking about money, and everyone was embarrassed and contemptuous. Pei Wenxuan supported Wen and persuaded his mother. When Li Rong heard this, she put down the tea and said slowly, "Isn't it just managing money?"

As soon as Li Rong started talking, everyone fell silent. Li Rong stood up and said with a smile, "I'll take care of it."

"The princess is of noble status."

Pei Lixian listened to what Li Rong said and quickly asked, "How can you trouble the princess with such trivial matters?"

"No matter how noble my status is, I am still Wen Xuan's wife."

Li Rong said as she walked to Pei Wenxuan's side, held his hand, and smiled at Pei Lixian: "Things like managing the accounts should be done by the wife. Wenxuan is busy with government affairs, so of course I have to help him."

"Your Highness has now established the Inspection Department, and there are many things to do. I'm afraid..."

"It's okay," Li Rong immediately interrupted Pei Lixian, and said seriously, "For the sake of publicity, my hard work is worth it. And the Inspection Department doesn't have much to do, it's just a title, don't worry, second uncle. As for money," Li Rong said, as if trying not to laugh, and only said, "I originally have a fiefdom, and this money is not a big amount. It's not a big deal to manage it together. Second uncle," Li Rong lowered her voice, as if to remind, "please calm down, okay?"

Pei Lixian looked extremely unhappy, and Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and chuckled.

He didn't care what Pei Lixian's answer was, but he couldn't help but emphasize: "My wife is right, Uncle, don't worry, she is very powerful."

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Li Rong: "I am Wen Xuan's wife. I control everything, including his family members. Hand over the money if you know what's best for you. Anyway, I don't care about your little money."

Pei Lixian: "If you don't like it, don't want it!!"

Li Rong: "Fly legs are also meat, give me money.

Pei Lixian: “…”

Wen: "Wuwuwu, how could there be such shameless people like you, deceiving me for my innocence and kindness, Wuwuwu, you are too shameless, pay me back, pay my son back, or I will kill you."

Pei Lixian: "Why did you hit me to death?"

Wen: "Wuwuwu, I originally wanted to kill myself by ramming myself against a pillar, but I think that's too easy for you, so I can't change my mind after I've said it, so I'll just ram you to death."

Pei Lixian: “…”

Pei Wenxuan: "Second Uncle, money..."

Pei Lixian: "Take the money, take your wife and your mother away too, shut up, I won't send you off, I don't want to argue, I'm tired."
