The next morning, Ah Fu moved all of Pei Ji's luggage onto the carriage.
After breakfast, Su Li saw Pei Ji out.
After they left the inner courtyard, Pei Ji warned, "Ali, be careful at home. If anything happens, remember to find Grandfather. I already told him yesterday..."
Yesterday, in addition to asking his grandfather about the poisoning, he also told his grandfather everything about Princess Rongfu, including the fact that Princess Rongfu wanted to kill Miss Pei San because of a single word.
Princess Rongfu has a very good reputation among the people, but among the aristocratic families, everyone knows that she is domineering and not easy to mess with. However, no one is surprised. After all, she has a noble status, so it is normal for her to be a little domineering.
But my grandfather was also very surprised when he heard that someone would kill someone just for a single word.
Su Li nodded and replied, "Yes, I understand." Then he added, "You should also be careful. Regardless of whether that incident has anything to do with Ji Jingxu and his wife, it is a fact that he is hostile to you."
"Don't worry, if things get worse, we still have grandfather's secret guards here..."
After knowing that he was leaving Beijing for business, his grandfather had assigned him several secret guards to accompany him yesterday. After all, he had just been poisoned, and he was really worried that someone would try to murder him on the road.
As the two of them were talking, they walked out of the mansion. Outside the door, Ah Fu was waiting in a carriage, and there were four secret guards riding tall horses dressed as bodyguards.
This time when leaving Beijing, Su Li asked Ah Fu to go with him. Although he was ordered to leave Beijing on business, the court would have special carriages for people to ride, but the journey to Yifeng was long, and the court's carriage was definitely not as comfortable as his own carriage. Moreover, if Ah Fu went with him, Pei Ji would have someone to take care of his daily life. After all, he was an official appointed by the court, and it was not reasonable for him to go out on business without a servant to take care of him.
Pei Ji had no objection to this, and was even happy that Su Li cared so much about him.
After the two of them said goodbye briefly, Pei Ji got on the carriage and headed towards the Dali Temple. He would first go to the Dali Temple to meet up with Lin Muyang, and then leave the city together.
Su Li watched the carriage go away and was about to turn back and go back into the mansion when he saw Madam Kong coming from the side of the mansion gate.
She bowed to Su Li and said, "I have learned all the rules and etiquette of Madam, and it is time for this old servant to take her leave."
Su Li had already learned the rules and etiquette, and knew that what Nanny Kong taught her was not complete. However, she had already failed in what Princess Rongfu had asked her to do, so she didn't think she would continue to play tricks on her.
She pretended not to know and just said, "Madam, you have worked hard these days."
Madam Kong said expressionlessly, "I have only completed the princess's instructions. I have one more thing to tell Madam. My niece Tao Ying has promised me that she will not become a concubine in the mansion. I have already found a marriage for her in my hometown. She will not be returning here in the future."
Su Li smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force it..."
She actually knew this very well. In the original novel, Princess Rongfu never cared about human life, let alone someone like Tao Ying who had no status or background and had offended her.
After being abducted into the princess's mansion, one can imagine what happened to her.
However, Su Li is not a saint, and she cannot feel the slightest sympathy for someone who has bad intentions towards her.
Afterwards, Madam Kong said something to her and went into the house to pack up her and Tao Ying's things and took them away.
It was almost noon when Pei Mingyue came running over excitedly.
Even though she had known about this for two days, she still found it a little unbelievable. She said, "Ali, I never thought that Lord Pei is actually the eldest grandson of the Duke."
Su Li smiled and said, "I didn't expect that either."
Who would have thought that something that was not even mentioned in the original book was discovered by her by accident.
"Then when will you move into the Duke's Mansion?"
According to his status, Lord Pei is the legitimate heir to the Duke's throne, so he should live in the Duke's Mansion. From now on, when she goes to find Ali, she will have to go to the Duke's Mansion.
Su Li replied, "Not so soon. Pei Ji has just left the capital on official business and probably won't be back soon. We'll move in after he returns and officially recognizes his ancestral home."
"Leaving Beijing on business?" Pei Mingyue seemed to be lost in thought as she pondered, "A-Li, there's something I want to remind you of..."
"you say."
"You know about the second master of the Ji family's concubine, right? She almost killed Ji Tingyou so that her son could take the position of the crown prince in the future."
Su Li nodded: "I know about this."
"She's a vicious woman who will do anything for her own benefit. You and Master Pei must be careful of her. You never know, she might even deal with Master Pei."
Su Li responded: "Don't worry, we will be on guard against her."
In fact, Liu Furong is not a person to worry about. After all, she is just a woman in the inner house and has limited means at her disposal. What she is more worried about is Ji Jingxu. Judging from Ji Jingxu's attitude towards them, she vaguely feels that Ji Jingxu is the most dangerous one and the one who should be guarded against the most.
After all, he has been the prince of the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years, so he must have good manpower and means.
After a pause, she asked, "What about you? Is Princess Rongfu making any moves?"
In the original novel, Princess Rongfu saw that Pei Zhao was not dead, but she still did not give up and wanted to kill him again. It can be seen that even if she failed to kill someone, she would not give up so easily.
Pei Mingyue shook her head: "No, and my father sent people to guard me 24 hours a day. Even if she wanted to kill me, she wouldn't have the chance."
Su Li reminded: "No matter what, you still can't take it lightly."
Pei Mingyue knew that the fact that Princess Rongfu was willing to kill someone for just a single word showed how cruel she was, so how could she dare not be careful?
She sighed: "I just don't know how long I have to be on guard..."
Princess Rongfu was of noble status and had a lucky star destiny. Even if the Ningyuan Marquisate had evidence that she wanted to kill her, they couldn't do anything to her: "It's really uncomfortable to have a knife on your neck all the time."
Su Li understood her feelings very well, so she wanted to reveal her true face as soon as possible...
In the afternoon, Su Li took a carriage to the west city market.
Behind the market is the largest horse market in the capital. She plans to buy two horses for the two secret guards, Zhichang and Zhitang, so that they can travel more easily.
When she arrived at the store, the store clerk welcomed her at the door and led her into the greenhouse on the right side of the door. The greenhouse was very spacious and there was no shelter on all sides. The summer breeze blew into the greenhouse, making it particularly cool.
The sales area is also very large, and there is even a huge horse riding field next to it.
The waiter asked enthusiastically, "Sir, what kind of horse do you want to buy?"
Su Li looked at Zhichang and the other two and said, "Zhichang, this is the horse I bought for you two. Tell us what you want, and then you can go and pick one later."
Zhichang and the other man responded immediately, went forward and made their request to the waiter, and then they followed him to the stable to choose horses, while Su Li waited for them there.
