Besides, even if she divorced Pei Ji in the future, she only wanted to find a handsome guy to date, but she had no plans to get married again, let alone have children of her own.
Besides, she already has two children, Pei Zhao and Pei Chuer.
She said perfunctorily: "Mother, Pei Ji will go to Beijing to take the exam next year. He will be very busy then. We can talk about these things later..."
"That's true. Okay, just keep it in mind. I won't worry about you anymore."
After dinner, Su Li followed Su to the orchard in the back mountain and picked two baskets of sweet oranges.
In the orange orchard, Su Li took out three hundred taels of silver notes and gave them to Su Shi. Even though she explained that she was rich, Su Shi refused to accept it.
"You'll be going to the capital next year, and there will be many places where you'll need money. If Ah Ji becomes an official, you'll need a lot of money to pay for social interactions. Keep this money for yourself..."
Su Li had no choice but to take back the banknote, but he felt warm in his heart.
It was not until mid-afternoon that she and Pei Ji returned home with the oranges.
There are three days until New Year's Eve. In the next few days, she will either buy New Year's goods or buy things needed for the journey to Beijing after the New Year.
Pei Ji would either read in his study all day or go out with his classmates who came to visit him.
The two of them lived in harmony, like roommates.
In the afternoon, Su Li had just returned home after buying some things. When she reached the door, a man of about seventeen or eighteen years old ran towards her.
The man was wearing waiter clothing, a rarity in town. When he saw her, he breathlessly asked, "Excuse me, are you the wife of Master Pei Ji?"
Su Li was puzzled, but quickly answered: "I am, you are?"
"I'm the waiter at Qingfeng Teahouse. Your husband has been harassed by a prostitute in the teahouse. She insists that Master Pei promised to redeem her but failed to keep his promise. Now she's causing a scene in the teahouse..."
"A prostitute?" Su Li frowned. Her first reaction was that Pei Ji had been tricked.
In the original novel, except for the heroine, Pei Ji is a cold and distant person towards all women. How could he take the initiative to get entangled with other women, especially those who are prostitutes and will affect his reputation in the imperial examination?
"Brother Xiaoer, where is Qingfeng Teahouse?" No matter what the situation is, let's go and see it first.
"Come with me!"
Qingfeng Teahouse is not far away. Since Su Li doesn’t go to teahouses on weekdays, he didn’t pay much attention to the names of nearby teahouses.
"Where's Pei Ji?" When she arrived at the teahouse, there was no scene as she had imagined.
"Mr. Pei's private room is on the third floor. Please follow me."
Su Li was suspicious and stopped to ask, "Didn't they say that woman was making a scene? Why is it so quiet?"
"Yes, there was a quarrel just now. Our boss was afraid that it would affect the teahouse business, so he persuaded the prostitute to come into Mr. Pei's private room and make things clear..."
"I see. Then you lead the way..."
"Please, this way..." The waiter went up the stairs first and walked to the door of a private room on the third floor.
He opened the door and said to her, "It's inside!"
As Su Li approached, she suddenly felt a push from behind, pushing her directly into the private room. The door behind her closed as quickly as possible and was locked with a "click".
Su Li rolled her eyes speechlessly. It turned out to be directed at her!
She wanted to see who was trying to trick her, a village woman!
Just as she was about to go around the screen, she saw a tall and strong man with a rough appearance and a drunken body coming out from behind the screen. He looked at her with lustful eyes without any scruples.
"She's truly a rare beauty, just to my taste! Hahaha..."
"Who are you?" Su Li leaned his back against the wall and took a quick look at the entire private room. There was only one man here, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Who am I? I am your man, hahaha! Come on, beauty!" The tall and strong man had lustful eyes and couldn't wait to pounce on her.
“Scum!”
Su Li's eyes turned cold and he kicked him away. The man hit the screen with a "bang". Before he could react, Su Li quickly pulled him up from the ground and pressed his head against the wall.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The wall kept making muffled sounds.
Yang San's eyes were full of stars, and he was gritting his teeth in pain: "Stop! Stop! Let me go!"
Su Li turned a deaf ear and continued to bang his head against the wall without saying a word.
There was another "click" and the lock on the outside of the door was opened.
After a while, a few hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door, and a woman's voice said, "Brother Pei, believe me, I really saw Madam Pei and a strange man enter the private room. Will Madam Pei..."
"Bang!" Pei Ji was anxious and raised his hand to push open the door of the private room.
"Let me go! Please, spare me..."
The moment the door was pushed open, Lin Muyang and Zhang Huai, who were following Pei Ji, widened their eyes in shock.
What did they see!
Pei Ji's wife, the slender and extremely weak-looking woman, was currently pressing down the head of a tall man, banging it hard against the wall again and again!
The man who was hit against the wall had no power to resist and kept begging for mercy.
“How…how could this happen…” Zhang Yaoyue also widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
how so!
It was obvious that she wanted Brother Pei to see this woman having an affair with a strange man so that Brother Pei would divorce her.
But how did it become like this?
How could this bitch possibly beat a man?
"Su Li..." Pei Ji's heart was relieved a little. As long as the person was fine, it was fine. As for this fierce scene, he was not too surprised. After all, he had seen her skills on the way to Qiongzhou.
Su Li paused her movements and turned her head nonchalantly. When she saw Zhang Yaoyue standing beside Pei Ji with an unwilling look on her face, she, who had read many novels about palace fighting and house fighting, had nothing to understand.
This was the first time she had witnessed this melodramatic scene of a vicious female supporting character poisoning the wife.
Come to think of it, apart from Zhang's mother and daughter, she has no grudges with anyone else. Given the courage of Zhang's mother and daughter, it is unlikely that they would dare to do such a thing.
Apart from this person who repeatedly harassed Pei Ji and held a grudge against her, she really couldn't think of anyone else.
Pei Ji stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
She smiled slightly: "I'm fine, he's the one who's in trouble..."
Then he threw the man in his hand to the ground and said, "Tell me, who asked you to do this?"
Yang San lay on the ground, gasping for breath in pain.
Su Li kicked him in the back again: "Stop pretending to be dead, speak!"
Lin Muyang and Zhang Huai's eyes widened again. Pei Ji's wife was really tough...
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and actually found her fierce look a little... interesting?
"It was Yang Wen! Yang Wen asked me to do it!"
Yang Wen?
Zhang Huai was shocked. Yang Wen wasn't...
He looked at his cousin standing beside him. At this moment, Zhang Yaoyue couldn't help but shudder when she heard Yang Wen's name. She was so panicked that she didn't notice the gaze from her cousin.
